26 Divine Consecration, Casting Blade into Godhood! (2/2)
”That was just a little backlash. I still count as a True Immortal and can use some powers with True Immortal Divine Sense due to retroactive principle… even now as a Golden Core. Consecrating you as a Subordinate God for protecting the Founding Ancestor's lineage… well, that only took a lot of my True Immortal Divine Sense.” Shu Yidan gently patted her head.
”But Master, now that you've lost your True Immortal Divine Sense…” Hua Xiu wanted to speak more, but realizing she didn't have any idea about True Immortal Divine Sense meant, having been destroyed in the final battle against Yang Yi, she couldn't speak.
”Giving up True Immortal Divine Sense for a God, that isn't a bad trade. Now, I have some matters left. You must have received an inheritance upon being Consecrated, and that determines your cultivation path. I am taking away the Restricted Spirit Crystal – RXW7651 as now that you've incarnated into a Divine Body, it is useless to you. Good night, I really should be sleeping now…” Saying this, Shu Yidan hurriedly departed.
”Oh, and don't forget, I'll be needing divine help soon, so you'll have to quickly comprehend the inheritance you've gained. Work hard.” Saying this, Shu Yidan left without looking back. ”…Also, sorry.”
Hua Xiu opened her mouth to reply but his figure had already disappeared, before closing her eyes. Sure as her Master said, within her mind was an inheritance, as if sent down by the Founding Ancestor's grace.

”System, are you there?” Shu Yidan asked, now that he was away from Hua Xiu.
A blue screen appeared and time stopped.
[Host has 1 hour and 2 minutes to activate the SYSTEM]
”Requesting immediate System activation.” Saying this, Shu Yidan braced himself.
[Host has been sustained major damage to essence, qi and spirit. Immediately activate Full-Heal Function?]
”Please!”
The moment the thought was completed, a white light covered Shu Yidan's body and like a cleansing bath, it was as all his injuries were cleared away in a blink.
[Host still sustains <<<Sealed Memories>>> and <<<Sealed Dantian>>> status, activate Hidden Quest to resolve?]
”Yeah, do it.” Shu Yidan immediately replied. ”By the way, now that the System has activated, can you do something with this device?” Raising the Restricted Spirit Crystal – RXW7651 in his hand, Shu Yidan asked.
[Restricted Spirit Crystal – RXW7651: Would you like to contribute this device to upgrade System?]
”Take it, but cut off all connections of the device to Hua Xiu.” Shu Yidan immediately replied.
[Proceeding… Procedure Complete. The Restricted Spirit Crystal – RXW7651 has a Dual Cultivation Module which will strengthen the link to Faith Energy from a different realm. Engage?]
”…Put that on pause. It's getting really late, so I'll exit for now and check the stuff about activation and all later. And yeah, you are a really good system no matter whatever unknown 3rd Party Application Store you are from, sorry about not trusting you.” On Shu Yidan's words, there was no response and the blue screen disappeared, returning the world to what it was.

Before he could make the decision on Dual Cultivation Module, he had to talk to someone. Feng Shiyao. He could understand the thoughts of the Empress he loved, but he needed to understand Feng Shiyao's thoughts on the matter as well.
In the past timeline, she was loyal to him despite having every reason to turn away. And that reason was enough for him to accept her…
In this life, he would accept her. Even if he didn't love her as now, perhaps he would fall in love with time.
