Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The one who stood upon the horizon.

In the next few hours, Liam constantly focused on the cultivation path.

He used the time manipulation method to increase his strength to the point of the unknown.

His breath became heavier as if a single puff contained a million world. His temperament was tampered with over and over again, controlled, and also extremely stagnant at the same time.

And even his appearance had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.

His hair became longer and longer until it completely fell onto the ground behind him, his eyes shone in a mysterious golden light from time to time, and even his facial features became even more refined compared to before.

Focusing back on his body.

Liam slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a little. Gently caressed some of his flowing hair from the front and said.

"Hours had gone by... but it had been millions of years to me. However, I will have to stop now since I am slowly losing my emotions in the long river of time. "

" it seems I will have to find a way to keep my emotions constant at all times. "

"Or else I might turn into an expressionless being, which is one of the many results I do not wish to happen."

Having said that, Liam's gaze directly crossed over the void as he gently circulated his vision towards the whole town.

Taking a brief look at the liveliness of the people today as he breathed in with a small sigh.

Zooming into his eyes, a million worlds were reflected and layered against each other with that multicolor brilliance.

Flashing by at a speed invisible to one's naked eyes, he mumbled softly.

"I have no contact whatsoever in this world. I am all alone, which is rather comforting at times of need but also painful at times of solitude. "

"The meaning of life became even more stretched the more I looked into it."

" The viciousness of existence alongside the blooming of happiness inside this cocoon of momentary twinkle"

"I still remember that mortal who gave me financial aid when I arrived in this town. And now she is no longer here, presumably in the afterlife."

"Life is so fragile... Too fragile for everyone's comfort."

"Maybe in the stead of short life but with a deep desire would be the cause of evil."

" One who knows his ambition but the capability of himself won't allow it. "

"A sinful truth that he shouldered, and he went to the extreme for such a pointless goal."

The more Liam thought of those things, the heavier his heart became, with his eyes crossing the void further and further into the world.

"System, what is the concept of existence for such a being like you?"

Liam casually asked with a plain voice.

Though simultaneously, he was expecting an answer that could soothe his heart.

(This system can't be applied to the creative concept. So, host, there would be no answer)

"I see... "

Liam pondered for a moment after hearing the system's short explanation.

Shifted his thoughts back towards the void as his gaze went further and further into the unknown.

His eyes flashed in a little golden gleam, and his hand was grasped against the chair's end handle.

"Then let me see... The concept of life for the people in this world."

Not long after, his gaze finally unfolded towards a gorgeous woman sitting cross-legged at the top of a mountain.

Her eyes were closed shut, with her breathing following a certain rhythm. Flowing through alongside the raging wind above with her long pinkish hair fluttering on the back.

Seeing this, Liam's eyes shone a little with interest.

There inside the woman's soul, he saw something incredible.

It was a golden light, shining very brightly, akin to that of a sun. There 

was no darkness, no gloom, nor was confusion.

"Is this... Tranquility?"

"What a pure soul. Not even a single stain inside her heart. "

"Maybe she would be the one. "

-

Suddenly.

As the woman was deep into her meditation. A sense of probing unknowingly landed on her body.

This immediately caused her to frown as she opened her eyes and yelled alertly.

"Whos there!?"

Her voice was crisp and also soothing at the same time.

Though no matter how long she waited next, no one answered her call 

other than those swift wind noises.

The grasses were gently swaying around on the ground, with her eyes peering about to all sides simultaneously.

Seeing that there were still no signs of movement around her, her eyebrows raised slightly as she said.

"Was it a false alarm?"

"Though I am pretty sure someone just looked at me now."

She pondered for a moment as she directly stood up from sitting.

Her energy circulated towards the surroundings as she attempted to find clues about what was happening.

However, no matter how hard she tried, there were still no explanations for her confusion.

Not long after.

After determining that there was nothing around her to cause any suspicion, she shook her head with a wry smile and said.

*sigh*

"Maybe it was a false alarm after all."

"I am just a bit stressed about the upcoming competition in the sect. Maybe that was the cause for my hallucination."

"Anyway, I should go back now. It had been 1 year already. I wonder how 

brother Alan is doing now."

-

Liam was naturally well aware of those things that happened just now. He was just silently watching her movement and locking her aura.

From now on, whenever he felt like it. He can directly tear the void before him and immediately teleport there to her location.

But that would be for the future.

Liam doesn't want to make contact with her this early. He needed to evaluate more and see her potential before deciding.

Throwing those thoughts away, Liam shifted his gaze back to the small box's world. Glancing over the Villar people's activities with interest, and said.

"The development is quite fast, but the second crisis is rapidly closing in for the awaited day."

"Vilar, was it?. I am waiting for your performance."
