Chapter 20: The Truth of the System and Personal Developments

Neil was still stunned by the system's response and said, "Yes, and no? How? I don't understand."

He was pondering many things, wondering if the creator of the system was some great power. Could they still be alive? But the system's reply to interrupted Neil's train of thought:

"Ding: In fact, this world we inhabit is called the Lower World, and it is one of tens of thousands of worlds existing in the Grand Chaos. There are thousands of Middle Worlds, and it is said that there are ten High Worlds, referred to as the Grand Worlds, all residing within the Chaos."

Neil couldn't fully grasp the words before the system continued:

"In the Chaos, there are many catastrophes and wars that could lead to the destruction of worlds. Countless years ago, there was a war in the realms of the Middle Worlds, and more than ten worlds were destroyed. At that time, the consciousness of these ten worlds merged to form the system."

"Over the years, the system evolved and traveled between worlds. But every being has limits, even the system. Despite having many previous hosts, the system couldn't evolve beyond the Middle Worlds."

"The system's goal was to assist you in reaching a Middle World and becoming the strongest, then attempting to elevate that Middle World to an Advanced World. However, it seems that your soul, host, is strange, as if the universe does not fully recognize it. Therefore, an error occurred in the system during the first connection, and another error happened when you absorbed the killing energy."

"After that, the system evolved and merged with your soul, causing the current universe not to recognize the system. Therefore, in essence, the system's evolution is now limitless."

After seeing all this, Neil understood the answer to the system's question about the universe not recognizing his soul. It was undoubtedly because he was not born here. Suddenly, a thought flashed in Neil's mind: perhaps I am from another universe. But he quickly dismissed this idea, knowing his current level was insufficient to comprehend it.

Neil then looked at his personal developments. First, the Immortal Killer Body:

(A strange body. It absorbs energy from the dead.)

The description was truly strange, and Neil didn't fully understand it. It was simple yet complex at the same time. He then glanced at the skill associated with this body:

(A strange skill. Converts energy into power.)

Despite Neil's numerous attempts, he couldn't fully grasp the concept. After some observation, he noticed the bear entering the cave with a small deer in its hand. Upon closer look, the deer was still alive, and the bear threw it before Neil. An idea struck Neil instantly, and he drew his sword, killing the deer. He saw the crimson energy rising from the deer's body and entering his own. At the same moment, the system's voice echoed:

"Ding: 10 experience points absorbed."

"Ding: Activating cultivation multiplier 10 times."

"Ding: 100 experience points absorbed."

"Ding: Host has advanced to Level 2."

Neil then checked his status:

**Name**: Neil Karsov 

**Race**: (Unknown) 

(Current genetic level beyond the power of this world) 

**Level**: 2 (Equivalent to Level 2 of a wizard or knight) (Progress: 0/1000) 

**Talent**: Tenfold training increase 

**Unique**: Immortal Killer Body (Unknown) 

**Special Conditions**: Sword Essence (Advanced) 

**Skills**: Immortal Killer Body (Unlimited)

Neil felt a surge of power in his body, yet he still sensed the mystery surrounding his body and skills. The upcoming challenges would be even more complex, but he was ready to face them with everything he had.
