Two kilometers away, a squad of people was constantly on guard as they stepped into this once-verdant forest. Their gazes were as sharp as eagles, as though they had gone through hundreds of battles.
In this group, there were a total of three Blue Spirit Star Warriors, and among these three, a tall and sturdy man about forty years old was actually at Level 9. He was only one step away from stepping into an entirely new stage of cultivation.
He wore dark blue clothes. His eyebrows were like sharp blades and his eyes were like the stars, glowing with a strange light.
As this man was walking, he knitted his brows and coldly said in a powerful voice, "Everybody, stay careful. Never lose your focus. We have no idea what happened here, but more than half of the forest has been destroyed a month ago. It seems two extremely powerful experts surpassing White Dust Stage were fighting."
"We need to be extremely careful as we don't know if those two experts are still there or not."
Hearing him, everyone nodded their heads in agreement. All of them were extremely careful as they moved forward!
As the group of people was walking, they soon discovered something that caused them to freeze in their places.
It is because there was no forest in front of them, instead, it was a scene of destruction. Everywhere, piles of broken trees and their branches, dead Star Beasts, and even a few dead humans could be seen.
Even after a month, their bodies had not rotten yet because they were more powerful than mortals without cultivation.
However, it wouldn't be long before their corpses would start rotting.
"This..."
Everyone was shocked. They could not believe their eyes. This was the first time they witnessed such a heavy sight of destruction.
"Leader, what should we do?"
One of the people managed to regain his composure and asked in a low voice.
At this point, their leader and others finally came back to their senses. Everyone looked at the leader, wanting to know his opinion.
Their leader took a deep breath and spoke: "Let's keep all the corpses of Star Beasts. With so many Star Beasts, our family's strength will increase tremendously. All younger generations could increase their cultivation by leaps and bounds in a short period of time."
"Also, look around and see if there is anyone alive. If you find someone, save him immediately. We can know what happened here from that person!"
"Um, leader..." One of them hesitated a little but then he firmly said, "It has been more than a month already. How can someone who survived that incident still be found? They would have long left this horrible place. Also..."
He was about to continue but the leader raised his hand, stopping that person from speaking anything further. He said, "Just search!"
"We understood!"
No one raised any questions again. Everyone nodded their heads and started following their leader's order.
After an hour of searching, someone spotted Aiden and after checking his vitals, he shouted: "Leader, we found someone. He is still alive!"
"Oh, someone alive is really here. What a surprise. Hurry up and bring him here!"
Very soon, Aiden was brought to their leader.
When their leader saw Aiden, he frowned and spoke: "How could he not suffer any injury when almost half of the forest is destroyed?"
He checked Aiden, and after thinking of something, he muttered: "This person looks so young, yet his cultivation is about to advance to the first tier. This boy must have had a strong background and entered the forest in order to gain experience. He must have some sort of treasure that was used to block the impact of the two supreme experts' battle, but in the end, he fainted. The consumption of energy must be too large to the point of exhausting him, causing him to faint. He has been slowly recovering over the period of this month!"
The more he observed, the more convinced he became in his own words!
"After we are done here, let's bring him back to our family!"
"Yes, leader!"
.....
Aiden woke up from his unconsciousness but didn't open his eyes. He first patted his forehead, and only after a long time did he open his eyes and look around.
Suddenly, he had a strange feeling of his senses becoming much stronger than before.
He could feel the auras of all the living creatures in an area of more than a hundred meters around him. At the same time, he could clearly see the patterns on the leaves as he cast his gaze over a tree outside the window.
What was going on?
Did he somehow obtain clairvoyant eyes?
Aiden was startled, but when he thought about it deeply, he guessed that it must be the result brought by the green fruit he had eaten earlier.
He stood up, pricked up his ears, and scanned his surroundings. But then, he realized something and exclaimed: "I was clearly in the destroyed part of the forest, how did I end up inside a room?"
Only now did Aiden realize that he was inside a room packed with all the things of human needs. Everything of comfort was available inside this room. There were even things that Aiden had never seen before!
"Where am I?"
Aiden frowned and muttered. Then he slowly walked out of the room while observing his surroundings carefully!
Exiting the room, Aiden found himself in a long corridor.
He frowned before going inside the room once again. He looked at the huge tree outside the window.
He went closer and saw a beautiful garden on the other side of the window.
Aiden frowned but then he relaxed, and again exited the room, appearing in the long corridor.
It was at this time he saw someone walking in. It was a middle-aged lady dressed in formal dress coming toward him. Although she was in her middle age, the aura on her body told Aiden she was a powerful warrior.
"She seemed to be at a Blue Spirit Star Warrior!" Aiden muttered, but the next instant, he was surprised to realize he was actually able to see through her cultivation base.
He hurriedly called out the system panel and looked at his information. But then a shocked expression appeared on his face. He was so shocked that he could not define in words how he was feeling at this moment.

Aiden could not understand for a long time what exactly happened. His strength actually rose all the way to Level 1 of First-tier Star Warrior from Level 1 of Second-tier Star Warrior. In other words, that green fruit alone increased his strength by 9 minor levels and one major level.
What is more, he even unknowingly activated the spendthrift function.
Not to mention, there was something like (0/100) beside his cultivation base.
He now has 100 trillion credits, and the Eternal point was 0. He could not understand what these were, but when he focused, details appeared in front of his eyes.
[Spendthrift function: After assimilating the world, the System has given 100 trillion credits to the Host.]
[You could spend credits to obtain Eternal Points. With every 10,000 credits spent, you can obtain 1 Eternal Point. With your current cultivation base, you could increase your cultivation by 1 level with a hundred Eternal Points.]
Oh my god!
Aiden could not help but open his mouth wide. The happiness came too suddenly, he could not regain his composure for quite a while.
Isn't it a shortcut for increasing his strength?
All he needed to do was to spend credits to obtain Eternal Points.
He now has 100 trillion credits in hand, which means that if he spends all of them, he could obtain 10 billion Eternal Points.
With so many points, how much could he improve?
Aiden, once extremely poor, had suddenly become incredibly wealthy.
"This is...?"
At this moment, Aiden suddenly noticed a pitch-black, thin bracelet on his right hand. This bracelet seemed to be the same as what he saw on the dead people's wrists, but at the same time, it was different.
"What is this?" Aiden muttered in a low voice. Obviously, he was asking this question to the system!
The system immediately replied to Aiden!
[The System has successfully assimilated the world and acquired all the necessary information.]
[That is the Omni-Link Bracelet (OL Bracelet). With it, you can complete any type of transaction, communication, and messaging, and even access the world of the Internet. The OL Bracelet you're holding is a 9th Gen model, the latest version.]
[Normally, you would need to leave your soul imprint in the OL Bracelet. However, since it is provided by the system, it's already linked to your soul!]
