Author Here:- I deliberately didn't mention something in the Side Story, because it may break the momentum.

When Mo Tianxuan saw the Quest, he asked the system. "System, can't we just cultivate a Supreme Foundation Builder and Devour him?"
[Ding, No host. Those who have a Supreme Foundation without any deliberate guidance are all a people of Great Luck and you have to Devour this kind of person."]
—————
Outside simulation,
In a small house in Yongcheng City.
At the moment, Lin Chen's face was calm but, a storm is brewing inside him, he quickly stood up from his seat and reprimanded the system in his heart: "Hey System, how should you explain it? You said no one can know about the existence of yours and can't interfere with it, but why that mysterious figure knew of your existence?"
At his question, the system answered within no time, as if it was just making words on how to explain it.
[Ding! Host, please calm down. There should be some mysteries and adventures in a man's life, or life will not be exciting. But don't worry about it host, that person doesn't harbor any ill will towards you.] The system said playfully, but in no time it's voice turned cold, devoid of any emotion.
[And if he does, this system, itself, will travel to countless worlds and kill every variant of his and eradicate his whole existence, if any Golden finger stood in the way, they should perish with him. This is my word to you.]
At the moment, Lin Chen had a question in his heart? "System, are you really my friend?" But he didn't ask that, because maybe, just maybe, his own system will become hostile to him.
But he just didn't want to give in this easily, because in his previous life, he had also read many novels, where the system betrayed their host and killed them, and he doesn't want anything like that to happen to himself.
So, he decided to ask the system some questions and he will judge it on his analysis.
"System, I want to ask you some questions, and you have to answer them truthfully." Lin Chen said.
[Ding, don't worry host. This system will answer them all truthfully, but they should have some limits.]
"Ok, my first question is, Is Mo Tianxuan a system user, if yes, then which system it is?" Lin Chen asked. Even if he has some guesses about Mo Tianxuan's Golden finger, but it should be better to confirm by the system, itself.
[Yes, Host. Mo Tianxuan is a system user, and the name of his system is Devour System.]
"Second question, what will happen if I kill Mo Tianxuan In simulation? Will he also die in reality?" When Lin Chen heard the system's answer, another question appeared in his heart.
[No, host. Even if you kill Mo Tianxuan In simulation, there will be no affect on reality.]
[About what will happen if you kill him? After you kill him, you will get system origin, that has many useful features, and one of them is Foundation Enhancement, but this system doesn't recommend you to do that at the moment.]
When Lin Chen heard the system's answer many doubts arose in his heart, but when he saw the next paragraph, all his doubts became clear.
[Because this will be very useful for you to condense the strongest Foundation that no one has ever condensed and you shouldn't waste it on something that you will eventually gain after some simulations.]
"What are other features of system origin, will it be useful to create a new system itself?" Lin Chen asked another question.
[Yes, with system origin, the host can create an another system, but this system doesn't recommend you to do that, because it will take trillions of years to create a system and within this time you shouldn't divert your focus for even a bit or else all your progress in creating it will be lost.]
[Reminder: Even if the storage space can can block the time flow, it can't block it's progress from being lost.]
When Lin Chen saw the reminder, it was as if he was poured on by a bucket of cold water and all his fantasies shattered.
"System, How much time it took you to form?" He asked another question.
[Ding, You can say that the time this system took to form is— All the time in Eternity or it took no time for it to form.]
Lin Chen was shocked for a moment, he didn't expect this answer from the system. A system that took all the time in Eternity to form, what the hell it is.
Lin Chen asked another question, that he was most concerned about. "Will Mo Tianxuan recover his memory of simulation in reality?"
[Ding, No Host. No one's memory of simulation can escape from the simulation in the real world, till the host wants it. There will be an additional feature for it in the future.]
Lin Chen had already anticipated this answer, if his system can't even do this, then it is not a reliable system at all.
"Will there be other sub-systems after upgrading the simulator?" Lin Chen asked the question he was most curious about.
[Yes, Host. After each five levels of upgrade their will be a new sub-system to use.]
When Lin Chen knew about this news, he was filled with excitement.
This answer means that he will have many, many systems for himself to use in the future.
After a moment of excitement, Lin Chen gradually calmed down and asked another question, "System, How many host have you had till now, and how many succeeded?"
[Ding, Host, you are the first host of this system.]
Lin Chen was again shocked for a moment and he felt funny in his heart, "Is he destined to die, have you given me a beta-system version for testing?" He said with uncertainty.
[Host, don't worry, this system isn't a beta version system, it is a full-upgraded version system that wants it's success rate to be 100%, and after travelling to countless worlds and time and space, it finally found you and decided to take you as its first host.]
[So, you don't have to worry.] After this long summary, the system added another remark at last.
At the moment, Lin Chen felt a little relieved after getting all the answer of his questions, and his trust in the system became even stronger.
A moment later, Lin Chen asked another question to the system. "System, What are your inten....?" Just as he was about to complete his sentence, a voice rang in his mind.
[Ding, reward settlement completed, the host can choose three of the following rewards.]
When Lin Chen saw the notification, he assumed that it was a reminder from the system that this is beyond the limit of question he can ask and he focused his mind on the rewards.
[Purple Talent: Flawless Sword Heart.]
[Cultivation: Late-stage Golden Elixir {with Supreme foundation}.]
[Experience {Marrow-Cleansing, combat exp, muscle memory, technique proficiency{Great Burning Heaven Technique(Low-grade Fire Spirit root)}, practicing experience (Sword intent level 8, Killing intent level 1, Flame intent and Flame Sword intent level 1.), breakthrough exp, cultivation exp, etc.}]
[Resources {134.3 million value of spirit stones (including silver and gold), Blood-Devouring Demonic Sword, Qingfeng Sword, many cultivation resources, etc.}]
[Detailed memory of everything you saw.]
When Lin Chen saw the reward, without a second thought he directly made his choice.
Talent, Experience and resources.
At the moment he felt a burning sensation from his bottom to top and a strange Green Flame appeared in his body that let a Fire Spiritual root born in his body. He anticipated that it must be the Fire Spirit root that has caused this phenomenon in his body to appear.
Now, he shifted his attention to his infinite storage space.
At the moment, a Blood-red sword which exuded an eerie atmosphere appeared in his system space, that was Blood-Devouring Demonic Sword. A sword that can make a mortal, the rival of strongest in the world, and it was in his hand at the moment, he was really excited.
He said to the system, "Open, System Panel."
[Data analysis successful.] System said, and after a moment a virtual screen appeared in front of him.

[System level= 9]
Just as he was analyzing his status, a notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding, Host, do you want an Introduction of this weapon?]
Lin Chen was puzzled, "System, do you also have this feature? Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
[Ding, this system always had this feature, but didn't thought that it was worth it, or those who were worth it, the host already knew about their legend or combat Ranking System had already explained it.]
When Lin Chen thought of it he seemed to know that it was just as the system said.
Either it was Prison-Suppressing Divine Body that he knew about or other thing that were explained by the Combat Ranking System, it was really as the system said.
"Then, Explain about it." Lin Chen said.
[Blood-Devouring Demonic Sword(Inferior grade): It is a sword which can be infinitely upgraded as long as their are Blood to Devour, and after each upgrade the owner's aptitude of Killing Dao will increase dramatically without any bottleneck, and with this sword comes a technique called Blood-Devouring Demonic Technique.]
[Reminder:- Heavy use of the Sword will cause mind to collapse by memories of the undead and not recommended to those whose minds are weak.]
[Blood-Devouring Demonic Technique: A technique which can Devour the Blood of others and make his own Qi and Blood more powerful, it is said that after practicing this technique to perfection, their Blood will be as pure as the ancestor of their Race.]
[Reminder: Heavy use may cause the meridians to be locked and unable to practice cultivation any further in the future.]
"I think, I have to use this both technique and Sword with caution, it will be better if I have to use it at last when I am at the brink of death and before death upgrade the grade of the sword." He thought to himself.
"System, In the Secret realm of Blood Demon, this sword has devoured countless peoples Blood and Qi, why is it only at the Inferior grade right now?" He also asked this question that troubled him the most.
[Ding, Host, that was just energy for it sustain itself.]
"Ok, system, Start the new simulation." Lin Chen again started an another simulation.
[1 Spirit Stone consumed. The value of remaining currencies: 180.5 million Spirit Stones.]
[Ding, Simulation starts.]
After a moment, Inside the Simulation
[....After killing the half of Hehuan Sect People that came to destroy your family, you alarmed the Mahayana realm cultivator of Hehuan Sect, who began to hunt you down, knowing that there was no way to escape you launched a fierce attack on the Mahayana realm strongman.]
[After battling for 2-3 moves, you died at the hand of Mahayana realm cultivator of Hehuan Sect.]
[Because of your death, this simulation ends.]
