{Good morning Host!} said a voice in our protagonist Meng Hao's head the moment he comes to himself.

"Who's there?" asked the protagonist, but after looking around himself, he didn't find anybody.

That wasn't the only thing that surprised him, as he clearly remembered being in his room watching TV before falling asleep and having a weird dream.

"Don't tell me… Is that you, Al???" he practically screamed the last part.

{Yes host, I am your humble and powerless Al. Besides giving you knowledge, indications, and reminders, I am mostly powerless, so don't count on me too much. Why couldn't have I been assigned to a full-fledged System that is Omnipotent if his Host is willing to pay heavily from his hard-earned points? 😢😢😭}

"You mean to say that in a higher realm there is a kind of institution that is teaching Al-s the necessary knowledge to become Systems, yet you become my Al?" asked Hao amazed.

{To put it bluntly, I am from Earth too. I was a genius apparently with a very high IQ, but low EQ, and when I was about to succeed in launching a big project. It was deemed too dangerous for humanity and I was executed as a terrorist, but this b***ards used my research to release it to the public in my timeline, as I was from year 2037 after the third world war just ended. Their move destroyed Earth as they interpreted incorrectly about half of my formulas. Because the Gods took pity on me, they offered me the chance to become an Al to a System that will make their Hosts fulfill different objectives, most of them for the Gods amus.e.m.e.nt. We must first gain as much knowledge as possible, then become extremely familiar with all the timelines in a lot of worlds, and only then we could operate a System and "aid" a protagonist fulfills his stupid wishes while successfully making the protagonist do what the Gods want them to do, ie. show them drama, save the world, gather energy, help someone or something in whatever, etc. I was one of the brightest ones in my group. Do you know what that god gave me as the objective? To help you by giving you info and reminders to become strong, acknowledge your impersonation's karma, beat that annoying guy's a.s.s while he is incomplete, then become the next successor of our Primordial Chaos. It should be simpler if you had another bloodline or at least a store in this more then basic yet cripple system that I must control.😭😭😭} and so, the Al started wailing in Meng Hao's head for half an hour, while he didn't know what to do, as he was an only child that become an orphan 2 days after turning 18.

Since he couldn't think clearly with such noise projected in his head, he waited for the Al to sober up.

"So, what do you suggest me to do?" asked the MC after the Al stopped wailing himself coldly.

{You are too young to train in this world's cultivation technics, but I can compile you one that will be suitable for you right now in building up a foundation for the future. I only need to know first what path you want to take.}

"You mean the path of training as in swordsman, saberman, body forger, and so on, or the path to Dao?"

{It seams that you do have some knowledge that we could build on. What I wanted to know is the first part. Do you want to focus on crafting, alchemy, swordsmanship, etc.?}

"Since my final step set by God for you is to turn me in a Supreme Entity, I may do all the trades, no? So, if that's the case, I would like to ask for a body forging technique that will forge the body to build up my foundation. It will be useless to have a high cultivation base and a very strong soul if the body is not strong enough to contain them, and I may die by body explosion. While forging the body, I must not make it robust to block all my meridians where the spiritual energy and later the Immortal Qi will travel, and I must make it very flexible to be easy for me to move while making my body extremely strong. If it will be something like the 'Dragon Transformation' technique from 'Dragon-Marked, God of War', then it will be excellent, but I want it to not have the drawback that will increase some of my emotions like pride, l.u.s.t or rage just how Jiang Chen was influenced. Another interesting technique is the 'Azulet Sword Law' from 'Chaotic Sword God' book that granted Jian Chen in the book a very strong body that needed Primordial Chaotic Qi to train. Even if it was very painful, he becomes extremely strong only with his body, not taking into consideration his sword Qi. In short, I wish to have a very strong body so that I could lay out a foundation for myself." Said Meng Hao after thinking for a while.

{What about the 'Ancient Strengthening Technique' from the book with the same name?}

"Well, it's a very powerful and interesting cultivation technique, but is based on a yin-yang equilibrium that requires in other worlds to be a fervent customer to the red-light district in a cultivation city since the mortal woman have too little Yin Qi for the later stages of this cultivation technique. Honestly, if I really fall in love with some woman later, I wouldn't mind doing s*x with them and have children, but to do it with every woman I see insight like that protagonist, excuse me, but I have to refuse."

{I like your stile. Since it's like that, it seems I no longer need to judge your character or ask questions. The cultivation technique that I just compiled during your monologue is based on 72 primordial grade body refining and cultivation techniques and is able to cultivate all the 6 aspects of a cultivator: body, energy, soul, Dao hearth, Divine Sense and the overall potential simultaneously, while also allowing you to refine other beasts' bloodlines like the 'Dragon Transformation' technique. The only downside is that it will take a long time if you don't want to fill pain, but if you can bear with pain, your cultivation speed will only be hindered by the insufficient spiritual energy in the air. It doesn't have an official name, so I simply tagged it as 'Nameless'.} after with, he transferred the entire cultivation technique in a very simplified form to the MC so he could understand it without any problem.

And so, Meng Hao began his daily life of doing chores around the house and helping the villagers for the necessary mortal resources like food, or other materials he may need in his house, while during the night he is spending the nights cultivating in a moderate peace so his body could get used to it.

-----

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Continent, his parents and his sister who is checking up on him from time to time, are amazed by his cultivation speed and how solid his foundation is.

"Husband, you still haven't told me what happened when we left. It is impossible to be possessed by an alien soul since I kept my divine sense spread on him the entire time, but the moment you wanted to live, something blocked me until you have indeed exited that old house?" inquired his wife, Meng Lin.

"Well, I think that my suspicious has been confirmed after this long year of observations, so I can only tell you one thing: he received some kind of legacy from the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm itself, and he is using this legacy to become stronger. As for why must we never interact with him, I'm not entirely sure myself."
