“Alice, tell me about the second sandbox” [THE SECOND SANDBOX CAN BE BUILT FROM NOTHING OR THE HOST CAN DESIGNATE A PARTICULAR AREA TO TURN THAT PLACE INTO SANBOX.] Hearing this Rex’s mind began to wander.
Until now, the sandbox had existed in an alternate dimension, separated from reality.
It was his private world—a place where he could create life, guide civilizations, and watch the rise and fall of empires The second sandbox was different from the first sandbox.
If he could turn his home with the along with the fenced property into his sandbox then his parents protection will guaranteed to the absolute.
Everything inside that territory would become part of his domain.
No matter how powerful his uncle’s backers were, no matter how deep the political connections ran, they would be meaningless if Rex could transform his family estate into a territory completely under his control.
The more he thought about it, the more his breathing quickened.
Just as he was about to ask another question, he noticed the gift icon blinking.
He frowned slightly and pressed it without thinking.
[DING, THE HOST HAS OBTAINED A PET: THE HEAVEN DEVOURING HOUND] [THE HOST HAS OBTAINED THE SUPREME TREASURE: THE CHAOS SPIRITUAL TREE.] [THE HOST OBTAINED SKILL: SAGE LEVEL CHESS SKILL.] [THIS IS THE GIFT FOR THE HOST FOR BECOMING A WORSHIPPED BEING.
THE CRUTIAL STEP FOR BEING ACKNOLEDGED AS CREATOR] For a moment, Rex simply stared at the panel.
Then his eyes widened, Rex almost blew his head off in anger.
He said loudly, “Can’t you at least notify me that I have gained a gift?” His angry voice echoed through the room.
“I have to look for it myself.
I must have got the gift the day before yesterday.” He clenched his fists in frustration.
If he had not opened the panel today, who knew how long it would have taken before he noticed the blinking icon?
But then again he understood that the system won’t tell him about the things in the main panel.
Its role was to answer questions and execute commands—not to hold his hand.
Rex exhaled.
“Forget it.” He looked his inventory, especially at the Heaven devouring hound and the chaos spiritual tree.
Heaven Devouring Hound (no name) Current Status: puppy (growth faze) Master: Rex Lin Note: An ancient being that has the capability to devour heavens itself.
It possesses intelligence comparable to that of an adult mortal human.
Its intelligence and strength increase as it grows.
UNDER THE PAWS OF THE HOUND, EVEN DEATH SHALL TREMBLE IN FEAR.
Chaos Spiritual Tree Current Status: Sapling (growth faze) Master: Rex Lin Note: After being planted, it’s root will pierce the void and chaos.
By absorbing the energy from void and chaos, it produces spiritual energy that is pure and untainted.
I STAND IN CHAOS, PEIRCING THE VOID.
WHO HAS THE AUDACITY TO QUESTION MY PURITY?
Rex read the descriptions several times.
Their introduction and panel were simple.
It only showed name, status, master and a note.
However, he knew this simple introduction might contain something terrifying.
Every word carried terrifying implications.
Heaven Devouring Hound.
Just the name alone was enough to make his heartbeat accelerate.
A creature that could devour the heavens itself.
The system was not in the habit of exaggerating.
If the note claimed that even death would tremble before it, then this puppy was likely one of the most terrifying beings he could possess.
Then there was the Chaos Spiritual Tree.
Looking at the chaos tree his eyes sparkled with excitement.
He had seen this in the system shop.
It was very costly, also crucial to step into immortality.
The price was astronomical.
So expensive that even with his tens of millions of Shock Points, he had hesitated to buy it.
Yet now, the system had handed it to him as a reward.
A free reward.
This tree was one of the greatest treasures for any cultivator.
It would create spiritual energy, pure spiritual energy, the kind necessary to step onto the path of immortality.
He had originally planned to buy it after saving his points for a few more years before purchasing this treasure.
Now that plan could be advanced immediately.
His path to immortality had just accelerated by an unimaginable margin.
He immediately decided that after returning he would plant the Chaos Spiritual Tree next to the mango tree where he sat usually.
Also with this many of his plans could be started early.
He didn’t think much about the Sage- level chess skill, he was already the number one chess player in his class and also the state in his current generation.
He was unmatched.
The skill would undoubtedly be useful in strategy and planning, but compared to the Heaven Devouring Hound and the Chaos Spiritual Tree, it appeared almost insignificant.
So he chose to ignore it for the moment.
His attention shifted to Faith points.
He had seen them in the panel but had yet to understand their purpose.
Therefore, he asked, “Alice, tell me about the faith points.” [FAITH POINTS CAN BE USED TO INTEGRATE THE SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, ABILITY, AND EVEN SPECIAL PHYSIQUES OF YOUR CREATIONS INTO YOUR OWN BODY.”] Rex froze, his eyes widened abruptly.
He had expected Faith Points to be valuable.
But not to this extent.
He asked slowly, as if afraid he had misunderstood.
“You mean…
if my creation has any kind of special physique, and I use faith points to integrate that physique…
then I will have that same physique permanently!” [CORRECT] Rex sucked in a breath of cold air.
His heart beat pounded like heavy thunder.
This means everything his creations or the beings in the sandbox develop invent or acquire, he can get them with just some points.
Everything his creations accomplished could eventually become his own.
No matter what they developed, techniques, bloodlines, special physiques, or even universal laws, Rex could simply integrate them into himself by spending points.
His creations would walk ahead and he would harvest their achievements He looked at his points.
Shock points: 59,679,362 Faith points: 1,208,491 He had a little more than a million points.
It was not much, but enough to test how it worked.
He decided immediately that he would integrate all of Amal’s skill.
The one personally trained by Saffa for ten years.
A warrior, king, and leader who had already reached the human limit of the sandbox world.
If Rex integrated Amal’s skills, the benefits would be enormous.
Without hesitation, he gave the command.
“Integrate all of Amal’s skills.” [DING] [INTEGRATING ALL OF AMAL’S SKILL WILL CONSUME 1,000,000 FAITH POINTS.] [DO YOU WISH TO PROCEED?] Hearing these words Rex’s body went cold for a moment.
One million points, he knew this was going to be expensive but never expected it to be that high.
This would empty almost ninety percent of his points.
But knowing Amal’s skill, his combat experience, leadership and years of training along with Saffa’s teaching, he gritted his teeth and confirmed.
“Proceed” [DING] [CONFIRMATION RECEIVED.] The next moment- Pain.
A pain shot through Rex’s body, he almost screamed, but gritted his teeth.
He almost lost his consciousness.
He felt as if a bulldozer was crushing his bones.
His muscles convulsed violently and his veins bulged, his blood became hot like lava.
The pain was unbearable but the physical pain was not the most frightening one, it was the mental pain that made him want to die.
The amount of skill knowledge and memories entering his mind felt like he was as good as dead.
An endless torrent of memories and knowledge exploded into his mind.
.
Blood trickled from his nose, his vision blurred, ears buzzed.
For several moments, he truly believed he was going to die but he refused to scream.
The pain slowly began to fade.
Rex lay on the bed collapsed; his breathing was heavy and uneven.
His entire body was drenched in sweat.
His chest rose and fell rapidly.
He mouth was open gasping for breath.
But beneath all this there was a very noticeable change in him.
His eyes were calm yet carried a warrior’s unyielding will.
As if he had survived many life-threatening battles.
He stood up slowly and clenched his fist.
His body contained strength like never before, the mastery over his strength and control over his movements were precise.
It felt precise, natural and perfectly balanced.
Before the arrival of Saffa, he was already close to the human limit.
Now with Amal’s skill integrated he was truly at the human limit and infinitely close to breaking through the limit to step into the new stage.
But this single step was like an endless chasm.
He could feel the final barrier.
The threshold that separated ordinary humans from the extraordinary realm.
He took a deep breath and calmed down, he would breakthrough eventually, there’s no need to rush and invite his doom.
He looked at himself and muttered, “The new stage….
will be set up soon.”
