With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

The three of them looked at each other as if they were trying to figure out what the figure meant by this.

But in the end, Xiao Ming and Yu Huang both pointed at Huang Xie and said, "He's the one that woke you up."

The figure revealed a bitter smile when he heard this before shaking his head to say, "That's not what I meant."

He looked down at Xiao Ming and said, "Little girl, the question was for you."

Xiao Ming just revealed a confused look when she heard this as she couldn't understand what he meant by that.

The figure revealed a faint smile as he said, "Out of the two of them, which one do you prefer?"

All three of them were taken aback when they heard this.

They looked at the figure during this time in a daze, seeing it more clearly now that he had appeared out of the water.

This was an old man that was transparent.

He was clearly some kind of senior who had died and left a fragment of his soul in his skeleton.

But seeing that the old man didn't say anything else and just looked at them with the same suggestive smile on his face, the three of them couldn't take it anymore as a blush appeared on their faces.

Xiao Ming lashed out by saying, "What kind of question is that? We don't have that kind of relationship!"

"Ke, ke, ke." The old man gave a chuckle before saying, "So you're still in that phase, you're still too young for that. Ah, that's what makes young love so much fun that I can't stop myself."

The blushes on the faces of the three became even stronger after they heard this.

The old man didn't care as he floated down, dropping Huang Xie on the ground in front of Xiao Ming and Yu Huang before suddenly raising his hand to give a clap.

"Alright, let's talk business now. I'm sure that you must be wondering what this place is."

As a serious look appeared on the face of the old man, Huang Xie, Xiao Ming, and Yu Huang all also revealed serious looks.

The old man gave a nod of approval seeing this before saying, "This is a crypt that I created for myself that will choose to allow people in. I placed this crypt in the place that I had once claimed as my own sanctuary, waiting for my descendants to come to claim my inheritance."

Then he turned to look at the pond before saying, "But as you can see, quite a bit of time has passed." A bitter smile appeared on his face after he said this.

He turned back to look at Huang Xie and said, "Child, you have the same bloodline as me. Not to mention, the power of your bloodline is very powerful, so you must be the top junior of your generation among my descendants."

Huang Xie revealed an awkward look when he heard this.

He looked at Xiao Ming and she gave him a look telling him to tell the truth.

So with a sigh, Huang Xie said, "Actually, there's something that I need to tell you."

The old man raised a brow in confusion, but he listened to what Huang Xie had to say.

When he finished, the old man had his brows slightly knit.

Huang Xie waited to see how the old man would react since he wasn't sure that the old man would accept his plan for revenge against his family…They should be the descendants that the old man mentioned.

But to his surprise…

With a sigh, the old man said, "It seems that the quality of my descendants has really dropped. If that's the case, then there's no need to hesitate, just do what you want to do."

Huang Xie was very surprised when he heard this since he thought that the old man would talk him out of his revenge.

The old man saw the look on Huang Xie's face and said, "Do you really think that I would be that sentimental? In this world, power reigns supreme and those that abuse it will receive the consequences of their actions. Karma is what decides what you receive in the end, so they will get what they get. I'm not that foolish that I can't see that."

Huang Xie looked at the old man with a strange look, but he eventually said with a grateful look, "Thank you."

The old man gave a nod before saying with a smile, "Child, you've had a hard life, but I promise that it will get better. Don't be tied down by the traumas of your past and pave a better future for yourself."

Huang Xie couldn't help looking at Xiao Ming out of the corner of his eyes before giving a nod and clenching his fist to say, "I will."

The old man gave another nod with a smile before saying, "Good child, it seems that you have a strong heart."

Then his tone changed as he said in a serious voice, "Since you were able to make it all the way here, I will reward you. You will be deemed my successor and will receive my inheritance."

With a wave of his hand, the skeleton that had been at the bottom of the pond suddenly floated up to the surface.

There was a ring and a necklace that came out from the bones of the skeleton that Huang Xie hadn't seen earlier.

These two items floated over and just remained floating in front of him, as if they were waiting for him to take them.

At the same time, the skeleton landed right in front of Huang Xie.

After a moment of hesitation, Huang Xie took the ring and necklace, but he looked at the skeleton in front of him with a confused look.

The old man saw this and said with a smile, "Absorb it."

Huang Xie had an even more confused look on his face when he heard this as he looked up at the old man.

The old man continued by explaining, "This is my skeleton from when I was alive. It contains the essence of the Overlord Black Turtle Physique that I cultivated, so it'll help you develop your physique if you absorb it."

Huang Xie's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, but he still hesitated in the end.

Seeing this, the old man said, "What's wrong?"

Huang Xie said, "Senior, even if this will help me, it seems wrong to absorb your corpse like this. I think that we should bury it for you instead."

"Ke, ke, ke." The old man started laughing again before saying, "Who's telling you to destroy my corpse? I'm just telling you to absorb the energy contained within my bones, not to destroy them. Even if you absorb the essence of the Overlord Black Turtle Physique, that doesn't mean that my bones will completely disappear.

I was a peak expert on this continent before, so my body is much stronger than you think it is."

Huang Xie looked a bit relieved, but then he couldn't help looking worried again as he said, "Senior, if you were a peak expert, how could someone like you fall?"

What he was implying was…

Do you have enemies?

If this old man did have enemies who would chase him down, then wouldn't those enemies direct their attention to him instead if he took this old man's inheritance?

While Huang Xie wasn't certain how long had passed after this old man died, he knew that peak cultivators would be able to live a long time. Even if a long time had passed since the old man's death, his enemies might still be alive and chasing after him.

Huang Xie didn't want to get the Love Sect involved in this matter of his ancestors…

The old man revealed a smile again as he said, "I didn't die because I was being chased by enemies." That smile of his turned sour as he said with a sigh, "In the end, I was just a single step from transcending. The heavens were just too powerful for me to break through, so I was seriously injured and fell…"

He gave another sigh after saying this.

Huang Xie could understand how he felt, even if he didn't really understand the circumstances.

The old man gave one more sigh before waving his hand and bringing Huang Xie forward to sit in front of the skeleton.

He said in a firm voice, "Alright, you don't need to worry about things like that. Just focus on absorbing the essence of the Overlord Black Turtle Physique and become stronger. Our Hei Family will depend on you in the future to rise again."

"Hei?" Huang Xie couldn't help repeating before asking, "Senior, my surname is Huang. Are you sure that we're related?"

The old man was also surprised to hear this before looking carefully at Huang Xie.

With a wave of his hand, there was a drop of blood that came out of Huang Xie and hit the skeleton. When it did, there was a flash of light that appeared.

The old man gave a nod when he saw this before saying, "We're certainly blood related, I can guarantee that. But your surname…let's not talk about this right now. For now, just focus on absorbing the essence of the Overlord Black Turtle Physique."

Huang Xie gave a nod before sitting down and closing his eyes. Embark on a quest at m-vl-em,py-r

But then he opened his eyes again and asked, "How do I absorb it?"
