Hope

One of the major domains in the Dao Origin World is called the "Heavenly Lotus Domain", home to the Floating Blossom Sect.

Like most sects, it has thousands of disciples in both the inner and outer courtyards.

Although the sect is not as powerful as big sacred clans like the Ling clan, it is a local powerhouse that cultivators aspire to join.

After dusk, in the interior garden.

The moonlight had a melancholy quality to it.

It possesses some of the incomprehensible mystery of a disembodied spirit as well as all of its detachedness, a feeling of isolation.

A young child, around five or six years old, lay on the grass with his eyes closed and a piece of blue-silver grass in his mouth.

"She's gone," he mumbled as he opened his eyes.

The youngster resembled a boy in poetry and art with his pearly lips, sword-shaped eyebrows, brilliant eyes, and white teeth.

How such a visage could even exist is difficult to comprehend.

His silver hair moved around with the seasons, and it is not difficult to say that when he grows up, ladies will swarm to him because of his face.

But the sadness in the boy's eyes seemed inappropriate for a kid his age.

Sorrow would be an understatement because he appears to have lost all motivation to live.

Rather than having the life of a kid, his blue eyes appeared to be dead.

"Why did you do this? How do you think I can live without you?"

These were the words of the child as he remembered the scene where two figures hugged each other in a chaotic space, and now that he woke up, she was not there.

She was gone!

It was his duty to protect her. He promised he'd protect her, but now he's alone.

The silence of the night seemed like it was accompanying him in his sorrow.

It was a quiet night.

Suddenly,

[Ding!]

[Feeling the host's unwillingness and sorrow, the Goddess Rescue system is loading; the countdown is 10, 9, 8...]

'What is this?'

He heard a mechanical voice inside his head.

[3, 2, 1]

[Goddess rescue system is bound to the host's soul. Save the goddesses in danger and collect points to get rare things.]

System!

Of course, he knew what it was.

If it was before, he could have even discovered its origin and what this system wants from him, but now his soul is severely damaged by that chaotic force.

He was fortunate that he could even reincarnate; otherwise, his soul would have been burned away, and he would have been completely dead.

Even then, he only got his memories back now that he is five years old due to his weak soul.

For the last five years, he was simply like a newborn child.

How much he now hoped that he would have continued to remain like this.

At least it would not have hurt so much.

But

Goddess Rescue System. How Ironic??

He couldn't even save his own goddess; how could he save others?

[Host, do you want to open a novice package?]

Although he wasn't in the mood to chat with anyone, he still said, Open."

[Ding!]

[Opening Novice package! Congratulations, host, for getting Supreme Chaos Body, Chaos Devourer Cultivation technique, Asi: The Sword of Rudra, and 10,000 system points]

Looking at the things he received from the novice package, anyone else would die of happiness.

Hell, even saints would kill to get their hands on one of these items.

But the boy's expression remained the same.

Looking at the two rewards, the Supreme Chaos Body and the Chaos Devourer cultivation exercise, he thought,

"She died, and I'm in such a situation due to chaos, and now you give me two things related to it."

The system didn't hear him or ignored what he thought.

[Host, system points can be used to purchase items from the system store, and you can buy anything across the heavens from the store.]

"Anything?" he muttered.

"Then open the system store."

[System Store]

[Law of Creation: 5 Billion Points]

[Resurrection Stone: 5 Billion Points]

[Brahmastra: 1 billion Points]

[Pashupatastra: 1 Billion Points]

[Chaos Green Lotus: 1 Billion Points]

[Pangu Axe: 500 Million Points]

[God Killing Spear: 500 Million Points]

...

[Resurrection Card: 100 Million Points]

Seeing the system store, he was stunned.

"System, what's the difference between a Resurrection card and a Resurrection stone?"

He asked the system calmly, but anyone could guess by the slight tremble of his hands that he was anything but calm.

[Host, the Resurrection Card can reincarnate someone from a trace of their soul, while the Resurrection Stone contains the law of Time and Reincarnation, so it can resurrect anyone you want.]

"Anyone! Even her," he muttered.

[Of course, you can also resurrect the one you want. [So, rescue the goddesses and earn system points.]

Hearing this, his eyes turned watery.

Happiness!

What he was experiencing now was unprecedented happiness.

No one could imagine how desperate he was just a while ago when he thought she was gone forever.

He had no desire to live.

But now...

"Eh," feeling the drops of tears forming in his eyes, he let out a voice.

"When was the last time I saw them?"

He didn't remember shedding tears since forever and thought he would never, but maybe it was because he was a five-year-old child now, or maybe it was because of the feeling of hope after desperation.

Well, whatever it was, he wasn't in the mood to care about it right now.

At this time, he didn't care about how the system could read his memory or how powerful it was to resurrect someone who had turned into nothingness.

He didn't care about the purpose of this system.

As long as there was hope to see her again, he would do anything it wanted him to.

[Host, you don't need to do impossible things. You just have to complete system missions and rescue the goddesses.]

Hearing the system's voice inside his mind, he smiled slightly.

Even though it was night, it felt like the surrounding colors had just turned brighter, witnessing such a beautiful smile.
