[But what attracted your attention the most wasn't the mountain being hollow but an small tree and a human figure beside it, breathing but unconscious.]
[The figure, though skinny, if were on Earth, could be considered a handsome person but compared to you—and many others you have met in simulation—his looks aren't that great.]
[Soon, you find out that the figure was not unconscious but was in an state of enlightenment.]
[Which was of no wonder because beside him was one of the most sought after treasure in the world of cultivation, the Tree of Enlightenment. One of its leaf plucked from its stem.]
[After finding of what you've got, you quickly placed the Tree of Enlightenment within the storage space. Although it was immature currently—only having nine stems with eight leaves of its own—but its affect isn't something to be underestimated.]
[And about the figure beside it? You decided to wait for him to wake up from his enlightenment and decided to make the current place as your base permanently, and in the mean time you began to set up some arrays.]
[Good thing that you've had bought a large amount of array plates previously—enough to set up an array covering this hollow mountain which expanded for thousands of miles in radius—as an array plate only covers a small amount of area.]
[After thinking of that, you began to set up some Concealment Arrays in addition to the Illusion Arrays from the insides of the mountain. So that someday, even if some monsters broke in while fighting, all they could see would be nothing but the entire mountain filled with rocks—with no empty space in sight. Except the place of aftermath, of course.]
[And the reason why you choose to set it up from insides instead of outside is because a mountain disappearing overnight would be too obvious which would attract the attention of wandering familiar beasts, driving their curiosity.]
[After all, no one's stupid here.]
(System: Umm.. maybe?!)
[Anyway, that was all the result of your previous stinginess or else you would've bought higher grade array plates, covering the entire mountain in a fell swoop—instead of wandering around here and there, placing them one by one.]
[Well... some mistakes get made. That's alright, that's ok.]
[Soon, you've successfully covered the entire mountain range with array and additionally set up some Spirit Gathering Array, activating them all at once.]
[Later that day, while waiting for the figure to wake up, within a corner of the mountain, you again placed out all the corpses of the monsters on the ground and began to Devour their blood using Blood-Devouring Demonic Technique. While, in the background, your practice room was practicing the White Tiger Holy Body chapter of the Four Sacred Beast Body Method.]
[And for you, that was a good thing because you didn't have to bother yourself with choosing the method again and again for the practice room to practice at the start of each simulation while your previous balance remained intact.]
[Just like that, a few days passed by, and during this period, that human figure's enlightenment seems to have also come to an end.]
[The figure, when he woke up, didn't seem to be bewildered or fearful of your existence and looked very happy to meet someone of its kind and asking you questions like: "Are you also just like me, thrown in wilderness by god along with your wife because of your sins?"]
[Though you were a bit surprised finding that you could understand his language, but after pondering over what he has gone through, you were no longer surprised but more of puzzled—not understanding what he was trying to say.]
[At the moment, instead of answering his questions, you decided to ask one of your own. And the question you asked was if the 'God' has given him a name or not? And in response, he answered with 'Adam'.]
[Upon receiving the answer, the first thought that popped in your mind is: 'Are the legends true?']
[At the moment, just when you were in deep thought, these thoughts were broken by a sound of 'burp' coming from the figure opposite you, who put a silly smile on his face, as if understanding what he had done.]
[As a mortal, he obviously can't control the sensation after being unconscious for so long.]
—————
[Few days later, within a huge but hollow mountain standing between wilderness were two human figure cultivating silently. One of them was you while the other was Adam.]
[In these past few days, after finding that Adam's aptitude of cultivation was quite strong, possessing the Holy root of Fire, you decided to teach him cultivation—while making some reservation of your own, obviously.]
[The reason why you decided to teach him cultivation instead of letting him go in search of his wife is because, you wanted to see if this guy brings you some other surprises like the Tree of Enlightenment and for that, having this guy beside you is a must.]
[And as he was the very first human in existence, him being alive is an important factor. And so, to utilize the system's efficiency of drawing rewards two times per Cross-Time Simulation, you decided to kill him when it's the time.]
[And the thing is, having the first human as your very first disciple is really some unachievable achievement.]
[And in these past few days, Adam's cultivation has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment realm, and because you didn't plan to give him Nine-Turn Supreme Foundation Method, you helped him breakthrough to the Golden Elixir realm and to not attract anyone's attention you lend him your Heavenly Tribulation Pagoda.]
[Not long after that day, you also broke-through to the Void-Refining Realm.]
[In these past few days, although the amount of time you've came across valuable treasures was getting less and less but there still were many valuable treasures that you've found. Like, a large pile of Law sources with some of them possessing same density and with some being multi-law sources, 1 trillion in spirit stones and a strange stone—that you've came across when you found a large vein of spirit stones.]
[And in these past days, you guys also got along very well and you also happened to find that, just like you, Adam is also very fond of nature's wonders.]
—————
[One day, as you've returned from your exploration, you happen to stumble on the moment where Adam was role-playing of human's ancestor. Saying things like: 'We, humans, are destined to conqueror everything from the north to the south and from the east to the west.']
[Hearing it, you find it quite silly.]
[If you'd be honest with your thoughts, you'd say that this guy is nothing but a clown. After all, at the start, every race's thoughts aren't much different than him. And honestly, you'd never support these kinds of thoughts that put you in danger, unnecessarily.]
[At the moment, just when you were watching his performance, a sudden movement surprised you greatly.]
[He said: "I, as the Great Lord of All Humans, hereby declare that this place, from today onwards, would be called the Human Region."]
[At the moment, just as he finished saying this, a 'ding' rang in your mind, and with it sounded a notification.]
[Ding, detected that the host has ranked first within the entire Human Region. You got rewarded with: XXXX]
(A/N: While Lin Chen sees the rewards, we see 'XXXX' instead.)
[Upon hearing the sound and understanding what it meant, you got bewildered. And the thing that left you more surprised is that this ranking started backward, directly leaping from areas like City, County and Kingdom.]
[At the moment, you, understanding the moment's seriousness, directly sacrificed all your System Origins to the Combat Ranking System. While, on the other side, not noticing your serious face, Adam continued.]
["From today onwards, this place would be considered the gathering place of all humans and so, I hereby declare it to be the Capital City of Human Kingdom."]
[Ding, detected that the host has ranked first within the entire Human Kingdom. You got rewarded with: XXXX]
[Ding, detected that the host has ranked first within the entire Capital City of Human Kingdom. You got rewarded with: XXXX]
[You, on the other side, upon finding that he missed something, reminded: "Oi, Adam. You forgot about the county thing!!"]
["Oh.. oh. Thank you for the reminder." Saying that, he continued. "I hereby declare this place to be the Human County." At the moment, just as he finished saying these words, he noticed you and got the hang of the situation. And upon understanding of what had happened, he ran away of embarrassment.]
[Though you noticed his movements, but your thoughts still lingered on the system's notification.]
[Ding, detected that the host has ranked first within the entire Human County. You got rewarded with the talent, Two Times the Resources(Purple).]
[Two times the resources(Purple): You'd get twice the benefits of consuming any resource.]
[When you got the talent, you were very happy, and with a smile on your lips, you returned to your separate little cabin you've made within the Hollow Mountain, thinking: 'this guy's silliness could be helpful some times'.]
[After returning to your cabin, you decided to test out the affects of the new talent, Two times the resources. And to test it out, you didn't use any resources, but the Tree of Enlightenment.]
[But before that, you dispatched all the puppets outside and closed all the arrays outside your cabin. And after doing that, you closed all your senses, plucked a leaf from its stem, consumed it—gradually falling in an enlightenment.]
[This time, you've decided to see if you could glimpse the basics of Void Creation Destructive Rewrite with two enlightenment or not.]
—————
[Time flowed like a floating river.]
[You, who have fallen in an enlightenment, have no idea how much time has passed.]
[When your enlightenment ended, everyone could clearly see the dejection on your face, you're unsuccessful at the attempt of grasping the basics of Void Creation Destructive Rewrite.]
[At the moment, just when you were lamenting on your experiences, you heard a thunderous exhale. Hearing it, you looked up. Only to see the entire mountain which has collapsed from above, and Adam being grasped by an extremely huge figure, so huge that it eclipsed the Sun and Moon.]
[Within Adam's hand was an egg, just half the size of him. Which seemed to be the main attention of the monster and even though he looked extremely angry but instead of attacking Adam, it was shaking his body, so that he would finally let go of the Egg.]
[By now, your existence, along with the monster was also noticed by Adam, who happened to let go of the egg and threw towards you. When the monster saw that, he directly gulped Adam down his throat, swallowing him whole.]
[After swallowing him down, he shifted his attention towards you. Now, his whole figure visible in your eyes.]
[At the moment, the first thing that came in your view was the horn on his head. The horn, though only one but was Colorful, mixed with all the colors of beast horns you've come across. At that, the other person's figure resembled as that of Dragon.]
[Now you understand, though this guy is at the Qi-refining realm but the strength he possesses far surpasses that.]
[Now, knowing that you're not the other person's opponent, you decided to return his egg to him. And in order to do that, you threw the egg towards him.]
[But who knew that this guy, to threaten you, would open his mouth and roar at that exact moment and because of that, just when he opened his mouth, the whole egg was submerged in his mouth, being swallowed completely.]
[For that, he blamed you and began attacking relentlessly.]
[And you, knowing that the situation was out of control, deployed all your puppets and even the Spirit of Trial Tower to stall time for you and you directly used the Teleportation Card to escape from the battlefield.]
[But, just a few seconds later, you heard a ferocious 'hmph' from behind you and were swallowed in one gulp, directly entering his stomach.]
[At the moment, even after entering his stomach, you didn't face any problem and weren't burnt by his acids as you practice the Great Burning Heaven Technique. And so, you decided to live in here—although it stinks.]
[At the moment, within his stomach, you also noticed his egg—which was unscathed.]
[After thinking this through, you directly placed it inside your storage space.]
[And about the corpse of Adam? You didn't notice that and even though you did, you wouldn't care because sooner or later, he'd die. So if not today, he would've had to die tomorrow. So now, you could put your mind at ease and think of ways to escape from this predicament next time.]
[At the moment, just when you were thinking what to do in future, an extremely powerful suction force happened to pull you out of its stomach—the monster vomited.]
[After the aftermath, the Dragon didn't happen to find his egg in the pile of vomit. And after finding that you're still alive, he began to attack you relentlessly, crushing you to death.]
[Because of your death, this simulation ends.]
—————
4 Quadrillion years ago.
On a Cliff, very very far away from the place where Lin Chen died.
A long white robe—fluttering with each wave of wind— was seen, and with it comes the figure—who was wearing it—into view.
An another egg—same as the one Lin Chen have—was seen beside him. Which, he was patting slowly—with his left hand—while looking at the place where Lin Chen died and that Dragon causing relentless attempts and destruction in order to search his eggs.
For anyone, it was impossible to ignore that Mad Dragon, which is causing chaos. Which sure is going to make countless races to go extinct, forever.
"You all must have understood by now, this is how it all began and I came to existence." The figure talked like he knows that some unknown beings exists out there and he is aware of their existence.
He continued: "I know, you'd be thinking that if I know so much, then am I aware of Lin Chen's motive? And I'll always answer with, yes. How? You guys will know when it's time."
"If you ask me, I'd say I don't blame him for his thoughts. After all, if I were on his stead, I'd do the same in order to utilize my cheats to the utmost."
"If he were in front of me, I'd say: "Thanks Lin Chen, for being the first and core supporter of my journey towards the path of cultivation."
After saying everything he had to, he shifted his attention from the Dragon far away and turned towards the sky and said, "Thanks Lin Chen and my 'illusionary wife'."
Saying everything he had to, he stood up—took the Egg—and began to leave.
His fluttering white robe obscured the vision. And with it, the picture ends here.
