death and rebirth.

Life was always boring from Li Yan's viewpoint. He felt like everything was way too easy. He liked to play but after knowing the rules and playing it once he felt it boring.

He knew that he could do whatever he wanted in this world but...

"Why become such a busy body? When we can just sleep and eat all life."

That was his motto at some point. He liked sleeping because he couldn't remember the time that had passed. It was relaxing. Lucky him that he doesn't know what gods above have become because of his interests.

Time passed like that now he felt that his consciousness was coming back. He could feel cold water around him. His breath was blocked by water.

Finally, he opened his eyes underwater.

"Ugh gwa jagag"

His hands and feet weren't used to being used at all so it took him some time to come above the surface. The air above was pure and warm, the view in front of him was very distorted from reality. There were many high mountains surrounded by weird translucent walls. Now that he finally got to look clearly there were large birds in the sky flying around.

"I died? So easily?"

He came onshore, his hair fell to his knees. they were silvery white giving a blondish shade.

"These are not mine. Is this not my body?"

The color of the hair was nice and beautiful but the problem was he never had this long hair neither did he had this color. He looked at his hands and feet.

"My height is the same according to the size of hands and feet."

He wanted to see himself at least. There was no way he will go into that translucent walls without recognizing himself. He looked back at the water to see his reflection. The water was still, so he saw himself. His handsome face and slim body were still there but his eye color and hair color were distorted.

"How do I proceed then?"

In between this thought came a blue flash in front of him.

[I welcome my host to this world of cultivation.]

Li Yan looked at his sides and then pointed his finger to himself.

"me?"

[Yes you]

"Oh. It's my pleasure to meet you."

Li Yan had many types of problems like he didn't like to talk much but this guy wanted to talk so what could he do? Anyway, the system chose to ignore his host's excuse and spoke once again.

[The gods are very happy with you and want you to become a god and enjoy a luxurious life in Upper Realm]

Li Yan tilted his head and after 4 seconds he spoke

"I believe I had given them many headaches"

[...]

Li Yan knew that his life was important and he just wasted it so... he understood their reason enough. Now what he wanted was to sleep here and rest too. Knowing the mind of his host, System hurriedly spoke once again.

[I am Ned, your only system please tell me what else you want to know about yourself here?]

"I...I want to know if I can sleep here somewhere?"

[oh, So you want to know about this world?]

"no, wait hey-"

This system was not made on a whim of cats or dogs but with all care and planning of all 5 top gods in the upper realm. They knew that Li Yan will not hear anything so they must force him. They made Ned the counter-soul for only Li Yan.

The ball of blue light sat on Li Yan's head and started to tell his story about this world.

[This world of cultivation is named Orid. You are a student of the justest Sect in this world which is the Taiyi Sect. The sect has 5 grand elders and a guardian. The sect leader, Rui Hongchang is your Master. And you are number one in the whole sect]

Li Yan had almost fallen asleep with the systems nonsense. Going back to the topic, Li Yan found that he was important here but there is his tiredness too. After contemplating for a moment. He thought about enjoying this cultivation world while sleeping regularly.

"Where is the Sect, Ned?"

[...you are going to the sect?]

Was it a question or ned's confusion? But Li Yan still answered.

"Yes"

[Rea-Lets go. I will guide you to your abode.]

"Ok. I have a question too. How did I come here? I am sure I was with my mother at dinner with some women. But now I died and am here. So what happened there?"

Ned didn't want to answer this question ever. The gods unjustly took his soul made a new body and put his soul in it and threw it here in Orid with ned of course. Ryu even took the liberty to beat the soulless body to suppress some of his anger. Li Yan, oblivious of the truth that he went to heaven too but was beaten and thrown in the water heartlessly asked the question to Ned.

[H-how will I know? Ned was asked to take care of you and also to help you connect to gods sometimes nothing else]

Connect with the gods...This was all that Li Yan needed to know for now. He will get all his answers at that time. But somehow Li Yan didn't want to talk with them. He felt guilty for unknown reasons.

Ned's answer itself was suspicious but he let it go since he was hungry and sleepy. A warm bed and a hot meal were all he could think of right now.

"I see. Then where is Taiyi sect?"

[Behind the protection-seal.]

Which seal was ned talking about?

"that transparent wall?"

Li Yan looked a little lost when he asked ned that question. Ned oblivious of that fact spoke cheerfully.

[yes, It's a very beautiful place. There are lakes and gardens which are unique to this place an-]

"How will we go there?"

[Ah?]

Still Oblivious to the fact that Li Yan was asking about his stamina and his lazy-ass self, Ned answered still cheerful.

[In one day why?]

It was only till then that Li Yan sat down and said to ned with an indifferent voice.

"teleport us or I am not leaving."

[Ah?...what?!]

Now ned understood the character of his host and also why all the gods above seemed so fine to go in oblivion than to handle his host. This host of his was a legendary no myth level genius but he was lazy and grumpy.

[Pity me. Its done deal now]
