Chapter 9: Genetic Coder Module

A rueful smile appeared on Cain’s face as he heard that. The system that seemed to have the keys to a great future could kill him if he failed to prove his worth, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

If he were to ask for someone’s help, they would either think he was crazy or dissect him to take the system away. Not to mention that Apex could read his thoughts, so trying to hide anything from the System Spirit was virtually impossible.

Cain sighed and shocked his head before a calm expression appeared on his face.

“Who created the Absolute Life Form System, and what purpose do they have in mind?”

According to Apex, the Absolute Life Form System’s purpose was to make him stronger, while the System Spirit’s purpose was to determine the Vessel’s worth, but Cain knew that was not necessarily the creator’s purpose.

The purpose of food on a farm is to feed the chickens, but the farmer did not do it out of kindness.

“The universe created me, and my goal is to raise a perfect warrior that will one day stand for what is right and just.”

.....

Cain’s eyes narrowed when he heard Apex’s answer and immediately knew there was something flawed with it. He did not understand some of the terms the System Spirit used, but Apex spoke about something called the Eternal River of the Afterlife and that the system worked due to a flaw.

If the universe created the Absolute Life Form System, why would it need the help of a flaw to work?

Cain knew Apex knew the thoughts crossing his mind, but he chose to ignore that fact since there was nothing he could do about it.

‘Final question. Tell me, Apex, how can I know you are telling me the truth and not just full of shit?’

Unlike previous times, Apex did not answer immediately. It took around five seconds before Cain could hear the System Spirit’s voice again.

“Hahahaha, brat, you are indeed smart. Only a fool would trust the words of someone they have recently met just because they told them they would be honest.” Apex laughter resonated through Cain’s mind, and the youth could see there was no anger in it.

If anything, Cain felt a sense of approval in the System Spirit’s tone.

“Ok, there is no way for you to be sure what I say is true, but you will see with your own eyes how the Absolute Life Form System makes you stronger. As for my killing you, if you are unworthy, that will also happen.

Regarding the answer about the universe being my creator, that was a total lie.”

Cain did not really like being subjected to someone else. Still, he at least discovered something about the Absolute Life From System and, more importantly, about Apex, the one with the power to end his life at any moment.

“Now that is over, you should get familiar with the system. You can command it similarly to how you did with the A.I. Chip. You can take this chance to make a scan of yourself.”

After hearing Apex’s words, Cain nodded and called for the Absolute Life Form System.

‘System, scan.’

Immediately after that, Cain felt an electric current move through his body at a shocking speed before a virtual screen appeared in front of him.

Cain was surprised by the amount of information and how fast the Absolute Life From System acted. It took the system less than one second to do what the A.I. Chip did in minutes.

He took a moment to process things, and only after having a clear picture did he start to ask Apex questions.

Although the System Spirit was arrogant and aloof, Cain was sure that Apex would not slack off and do his best to help when it came to the questions regarding the system. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

“Apex, why does the system show my stats so low? I did an analysis yesterday, and the numbers were much different.”

Cain was right that Apex would help him, but the System Spirit did not lose the opportunity to bother the young man.

“Brat, the A.I. Chip used mortal parameters to analyze your stats. Thanks to the [Basic Hacking] tool, I recollected helpful information. The system uses the parameters of your Godslayer Humankind Empire to determine Wave Cultivator’s stats. I must say I am surprised. Your stats are in the three digits.”

Although Apex did not laugh, Cain could hear the teasing tone in his voice. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

The youth was slightly annoyed, but he was also amazed. For the Godslayer Humankind Empire to give mortals such a lower number meant that Wave Cultivators were monstrously more powerful.

Cain could not even imagine the prowess of someone with ten points in strength could achieve. He did not let his fantasies run wild and focused before asking a new question.

“Apex, what do the question marks in the virtual screen represent?”

“Regarding the one in the [Arts and Skills]. That is a unique ability that came with the system. It will manifest itself when the right time comes, or maybe never.” Apex gave a moment for Cain to understand his words before continuing. “As for the ones in [System Modules]. Those are the modules saved in the Absolute Life Form System.”

Cain got so excited by the new modules that he momentarily forgot his last question. The [A.I. Chip Module] did not seem that impressive, but the youth was sure it would benefit him in the future. Not to mention that, according to Apex, it would grow stronger along with him.

“How can I activate a new module?”

“You can activate a new module in each primary cultivation stage. You already have obtained the [A.I. Chip Module] in this stage, but due to the unique circumstances of this one, you can still unlock a new one.”

Cain could not help but smile at the idea of getting a new module. The Absolute Life From System’s goal was to make him stronger, so he was sure the new module would be of immense help.

There was one problem. Cain had no idea what module to choose.

Apex knew the youth’s predicament and explained.

“The Creator ordered the modules according to how useful they would be for you during each cultivation stage. Of course, you can choose a different one, but since you lack the ability to perceive the system and the sealed modules, you would only be tempting your luck.”

Cain was not dumb enough to ignore Apex’s words and choose a different module out of curiosity or a sense of rebellion.

“System, activate the next module!” Cain almost yelled those words.

The next second, he felt a sense of immense heaviness, but soon it vanished, and he heard the system’s robotic voice.
