Moreover, Amaterasu said that his body had undergone some changes. She had only bitten his finger and drunk a little blood, yet she seemed to know his body better than he did, which made him feel a little strange.

After thinking for a moment, Morikawa Yu decided to ask the system.

"System, she said my body has undergone some changes. Have these changes occurred? What kind of changes have occurred?" He focused his mind and asked the system.

The system's voice rang out, immediately providing an answer.

"Yes, even if it's a small change, the host's body is changing every moment. The host has not yet fully absorbed the initial blood obtained into the body, and this initial blood is still improving the host's physique."

"If it's a major change, I once created a body for the host. That time, I destroyed the original body the host was using, and on a timescale that people in this world cannot perceive, I condensed a body for the host, replacing the original body the host transmigrated to, for the host to use."

Morikawa Yu was startled: "System, you created a body for me? When!?"

He doesn't remember ever encountering such a thing.

The system's voice rang out: "When the host had just transmigrated."

"At that time, the consciousness within the original body occupied by the host had died, and the original body had also died. However, there was another higher-level consciousness within that body, which was very likely to be reborn after the original body died."

"At that time, the host had just transmigrated, and his soul was far more fragile than His. If He had awakened, the host would most likely have been assimilated by Him."

"Therefore, I directly destroyed that body and created a brand new body for the host based on its appearance."

Morikawa Yu listened intently.

He suddenly remembered that when he first transmigrated, the original body was clearly dead, its body crushed under the floorboards. However, after he transmigrated, his body didn't feel like that of someone about to die.

He even did something incredibly "superhuman": he lifted a floorboard to save his sister and carried her away from the ruins.

He was almost out of strength when he and his sister were swallowed by the tsunami.

He survived the earthquake and tsunami, but his sister died in the tsunami and became a ghost. His sister's body was disposed of by Fei Yue, who used her blood and qi to create a fake body for her.

When Hiyue gave him the power of "past", he and Hiyue watched the scene again.

Although Feiyue didn't quite understand, she didn't pay much attention to it.

He also thought that he was experiencing an "adrenaline surge" at that time, and that his survival instinct was too strong, which led him to do something extraordinary.

In retrospect, it wasn't an extraordinary feat at all. Rather, the system destroyed the original body and created a completely new one for him. He used the remaining power in his body to accomplish the inhuman act of breaking through the floorboards.

"What about the original owner's consciousness that might awaken?" Morikawa Yu asked again.

After the system explained it to him, he confirmed what Amaterasu had said.

He may indeed be her father, but he is not her father.

The father that Amaterasu refers to is the high-level consciousness within the original body, but the original body has now been destroyed by the system. The body he is using is a new body created for him by the system, and the consciousness has been taken away by the system.

Therefore, Amaterasu said that the blood in his body was not right, and was very strange.

The system's voice rang out: "That consciousness was very likely to threaten the host's own soul. I have sealed and killed it, and there is no possibility of it reviving."

Goodness, he's been killed.

Morikawa Yu's first thought was, "System, you're too powerful."

The second thought was, since Amaterasu's father had already been killed by the system, what should Amaterasu do? What about him, the person who most resembled her father?

After thinking all this through, Morikawa Yu finally realized that the system girl had so easily killed the consciousness of the Father God.

What level of existence is the System Girl?

"System, who exactly are you?" he asked in his mind.

Chapter 679 Life Approaches Perfection

"Me?" the system girl asked back.

This was the first time Morikawa Yu had heard the system girl speak with a questioning tone.

She paused for a moment: "I am not a person, nor an ordinary life form. If you have to make an analogy, you can probably understand me as a world, or an existence outside of the world."

"A world?" Morikawa Yu was taken aback.

What kind of metaphor is this?

He tried hard to think about it, but he still didn't quite understand.

Finally, after thinking for a while, Morikawa Yu suddenly realized that the father god Izanagi and the mother god Izanami were the same being, and that they originated from the world itself.

They may even be the consciousness of the world.

Is the system girl the same as them?

"Are you a consciousness that arose from their world?"

"No," the system denied. "They are powerful beings created by the world. The host can understand them as a kind of life that is infinitely close to perfection."

“I am different from them. I am a pure consciousness made up of the world, and also the true, and now only, perfect life.”

Morikawa Yu still didn't understand what the system girl was saying, but the system girl didn't continue.

He thought for a moment and decided to ask indirectly.

"Then why are you being so good to me? Why did you make me your host? Is there something special about me?"

The system girl remained silent for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, her voice rang out again: "Host, you are indeed very special, because you are the only life form besides me that may cross the boundary between life and perfect life and become a perfect life."

"I found you among all life and brought you into this world."

Morikawa Yu was startled.

"So, what do you want...?"

"I want you to become a perfect being like me." The system girl's voice rang out again, directly stating what he wanted to ask.

Morikawa Yu was stunned.

Although he still couldn't understand what the system girl meant by "perfect life," it was clearly not something that could be described in a simple way.

Even the father and mother gods, who were so powerful as Izanagi and Izanami to create the Age of Gods, and whose death was merely a change of form of existence, were only life forms that approached perfection. How powerful must a truly perfect life be?

Morikawa Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized that the system girl had said she was a perfect being. And she was indeed incomprehensibly powerful, powerful enough to directly kill the consciousness of the father god Izanagi.

Otherwise, he would have already been assimilated by Izanagi and merged with his memories.

So when the system girl says she is "a world," does that mean that to become a perfect life form, one must first become "a world"?

So she wants him to become a perfect being like her, and also wants him to become "a world"? How can she succeed in that?

I don't understand at all.

"You said you would help me become a perfect being like you. How can I do that?"

Morikawa Yu asked the system girl.

But the system didn't answer him directly. Instead, it asked him, "Host, what are your thoughts on the living beings in the world?"

"Your opinion on the living beings in this world?" Morikawa Yu paused for a moment.

Although he didn't know why the system girl asked him this, he was sure she wouldn't ask casually. She probably wanted to use his understanding of living beings to explain his question to him.

He thought for a moment and said, "Living beings are life; anything with life is a living being."

“What you’re saying is right, but also wrong,” the system girl said.

She corrected her, "Whether it's a living being or a dead spirit, anything with a spirit can be considered a form of life. Host, your understanding of living beings as life is not entirely correct."

"From this point of view, all things have a spirit."

"Whether it's humans, monsters, or gods, they are all forms of existence that have evolved from life itself."

"Whether it is the masses of people in the present world, the monsters and gods who guard the present world in the secrets of this world, or the gods who once ruled the present world in the age of gods, they are all life."

"It's just that some of them are strong, and some are weak."

“Those weak lives have almost no impact on the world; only when they unite can the world be changed.”

“Those powerful beings possess their own strength, authority, and domain, and are completely unaffected by this world. On the contrary, they can easily influence this world and cause enormous changes to it.”

"For example, the two divine demons you married, and the supreme gods who guard the secrets, they are such powerful and transcendent beings."

"But whether they are weak or strong, they are all life."

"Life's pursuit of self-completion and self-perfection is eternal and unchanging; humans, monsters, and gods all share this pursuit."

"Because the more powerful a life form is, the more it tends to be perfect."

The system girl paused for a moment, then continued, "Many ordinary beings believe that gods are perfect, but gods are not perfect beings."

"They can only be considered as the ultimate form of life."

"Although they are very powerful, possessing strength that ordinary beings cannot reach, they are not perfect. They do not transcend the rules of this world and will still dissipate and perish."

"And the two divine demons you married, as well as the supreme gods who guard the secrets, you can regard them as beings that surpass ultimate life and are extremely close to perfection."

"For them, the rules of the world are not ironclad laws that can be easily broken and changed; in fact, their domain is a separate 'world'."

"Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are incomprehensible beings, and their mental state will be impacted."

Morikawa Yu frowned.

"You said that the Great Demon of the Age of Gods and the Supreme God are both beings that are incredibly close to perfect? ​​Then why are ordinary people afraid of the Great Demon of the Age of Gods but not the Supreme God?"

"That's naturally because their states are different."

The system explained, "Both the great demons of the divine era and the supreme god-kings are life forms that are incredibly close to perfection, but the supreme god-kings are different from the demons of the divine era. God-kings are powerful, but their bodies are still human, so ordinary beings will treat them as humans and will not feel fear from them."

Morikawa Yu nodded thoughtfully.

After hearing what the system said, he suddenly understood some of the things he had seen in the scenes of the Sword Demon God Kashima's previous life.

That was the conversation between the sword saint Urabe no Tomotaka and it before his death.

They once speculated about the identities of the Supreme God and the Demon of the Divine Age, saying something like, "Although the Supreme God is strong, he is not a god, and the Demon of the Divine Age is not a monster." They were probably talking about the difference between the Supreme God and the Demon of the Divine Age and ordinary gods and monsters.

Then they talked about their conjectures about the way of the human sword, saying something like, "The strongest person might not even be human."

While these conjectures weren't entirely accurate, they were similar to what the system wanted him to do—to transcend the human life level through means like "Primordial Darkness," "Nature's Voice," or "Lord of the Red Moon," which was essentially "not being human," wasn't it?

However, he now prefers to use the ultimate swordsmanship and the first blood of the demon from the Age of Gods to enhance himself and become an immortal being.

That would be cooler, safer, and I could get close to the big fox and Tamamo.

"So you brought me here because you want me to become a near-perfect being like them?" Morikawa Yu asked again.

Chapter 680 Father, your expression is making me very unhappy.

The system girl's voice rang out again, denying, "No, I brought you here not to make you a near-perfect being, but to help you become a perfect being like me."

"The path and routes I previously set for you, host, are merely a stepping stone."

"Whether it is the chaotic darkness before the creation of the world, the natural sounds of all things in the world, or the ancient celestial bodies that have existed since time immemorial, they are all just a part of the world itself and cannot transcend this world."

"Host, even if you complete the advancement, you will only have the possibility of becoming a perfect life form."

"I am providing these pathways so that you, host, can first become a near-perfect being, and then take it a step further to become a perfect being like me, and accompany me from then on."

"This is also why I brought you, host, to this world."

"This world is a very special world. It is very close to the Root and connected to the original Root. It is one of the worlds closest to the Root."

"The strength of life here is also true strength."

“One of the powers they use is authority. Authority is a power that comes from the source; its power is built upon the source, and it is also a conceptual power.”

"No matter which world they leave here and go to, they will always be at the pinnacle of the world."

"Because the world is larger, these conceptual forces are also stronger, and they will always transcend everything."

"And what about you?" Morikawa Yu asked abruptly.

The system girl was silent for a moment: "I have already told you, host, that I am the only perfect life form."

"I found you because I wanted to help you, the only other life besides me that could become a perfect life, to become a perfect life like mine, and to stay with me from now on."

“Those near-perfect lives possess conceptual power, while I possess the power to rewrite concepts.”

"Because I am an existence outside of all worlds."

“I can rewrite anything that can be considered part of the ‘world’.”
