GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS

The surroundings rumbled intensely as the space vibrated. The Qi in the surroundings swirled distortedly as its swirling force alone could be seen tearing and slicing the space apart. The surrounding gravitational pressure intensified as the gravitational pull alone instantly caused a wide dent in the earth; the created dent spread for millions of miles in the circumference of the old man, even affecting the distant mountains and terrains. All these surrounding impacts were simply from the activation of a Dao; the old man hasn\'t even utilized his Dao yet.

The white-robed old man hovered over the demolished mountain with spread arms and a serious demeanour as he watched the occurring distortion; he was still in his meditation state with shut eyes. The next second, a rumbling sound reverberated as it further increased the intensity of the swirling Qi and tearing of space barriers. With the surroundings in a chaotic manner, the old man\'s figure floated in the chaotic swirling Qi and sliced space barriers as his long white robe and hair fluttered profusely with the ravaging wind; then, he steadily opened his eyes.

With the old man opening his eyes, brilliant white lights shone from them as they instantly caused everything in his surrounding view to turn white. The white-haired old man watched as everything in his white-washed view began separating into two; this was his Dao, \'The Dao of Prediction\'. The drifting leaves, shifting clouds, and demolished crumbles of the mountains could be seen duplicating into two as the duplicated ones moved further in place of the originals, indicating that this will be the next position the originals will be in.

Seeing this scene, the old man remained expressionless as he still stared at the being far in the distance, Raleigh. He then squinted his glowing white eyes as he curiously frowned after; as if wanting to test something, the old man vanished from his spot at an unscalable speed, his vanishing speed alone causing the space to assume thousands of cracks and the Qi to swirl even more distortedly. All this took ten seconds.

Raleigh hovered in the space as he expressionlessly stared at the old man far in the distance; he hadn\'t even reacted when the old man\'s Qi pressure caused all the previous commotion; but then, he watched as the old man launched at him with glowing white eyes. Raleigh smirked mockingly.

CLASH! RUMBLE!

The space fiercely rumbled due to Raleigh and the old man colliding; the space barriers above the mansion instantly shattered as the chaotic space void got revealed. Raleigh hovered before the old man as he expressionlessly stared at the disbelieving expression of the old man; he hadn\'t even raised a finger to block the old man\'s punch earlier as he let the attack reach him completely. The punch impact completely shattered the space barriers behind Raleigh as it further exposed the ravaging void-space. The old man disbelievingly expressed as he saw how ineffective his powerful punch as a Star Celestial was, as if realizing something, the old man instantly flashed as he retreated distances away from Raleigh. Hovering in a cautious stance, the old man stared at the distant Raleigh as he squinted his eyes scrutinizingly.

\'It seems this Celestial\'s assumption was correct. This red-haired person indeed cultivates a space Dao; cultivators with this Dao are one annoying group. I may be a Star Celestial, but if I use more than ninety per cent of my power, it will destroy the entire outer region, attracting the attention of the Immortal Gate and the Arkmenians, which will cause trouble for our Ancient Gong family. I must end this fight as quick as possible.\'

The old man thought in a matter of seconds as the next moment; he clasped his hands in a praying manner as he uttered.

"Qi force subcreation; Sword intent."

Cling~!

A clinging sound echoed as the old man steadily opened his clutched arms, with a bright white Qi sword materializing from between his arms as he opened his arms wide. Seconds later, the bright white Qi sword hovered before the old man as it radiated with pure Qi essence. The old man held the sword\'s hilt with his left hand and pointed it at Raleigh as he spoke.

"Come!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Raleigh launched at the old man with a smirk as a poosh sound resonated; he reduced his speed as he flashed from his location, his flashing momentum causing the space to bend unwillingly.

Seeing this, the old man also flashed and launched at the incoming Raleigh. Both men clashed as the old man swung his shining sword at Raleigh\'s head; Raleigh dodged the sword attack as he casually turned and sent a slight punch at the old man\'s face. Instantly reacting, the old man used the sword as he blocked the punch, but the impact sent him flying in the distance.

The old man had a shocking expression as he got sent in the distance, but then, he quickly flipped as his figure instantly halted in the air. He inspected his sword as he saw multiple cracks slowly forming on it as if it would completely shatter the next moment; grinning with a disgruntled expression, the old man let go of the sword as it disintegrated into energy essence. The interaction between the two men had been in but an instant.

The white-haired old man stretched his arms and clapped as he spoke.

"Space Collapse."

Raleigh floated in the distant space as he saw the old man stretching his arms and uttering after. But then, the space around Raleigh began folding as they tried to close Raleigh in a clap. The space folded as it completely enshrouded the red-haired Raelgih from the scene; seeing this, the old man instantly flashed as he appeared where Raleigh was; he held his right arm up as a large cultivation formation formed on it, he pointed the formation at the folded space and uttered. "Space annihilating formation." With that, the space where Raleigh was, began shattering as it slowly disappeared from the scene. Seconds later, the space barrier was no more as it was completely shattered into oblivion.

The old man smilingly expressed as he watched the space which folded on Raleigh completely disintegrate into nothingness. But as soon as the space-void was about to mend itself, an arm emerged from it; the pale arm had a dragon tattoo as it radiated with godly essence. In his stupor, the old man was caught off guard as the emerged pale arm instantly and tightly gripped his neck; the hand then lifted the white-haired old man as he struggled with a disbelieving expression.

"How is this possible! How can you still be alive after receiving my space annihilating formation?! Even Saints won\'t completely ignore that attack! Who are you?!"

The old man hurriedly asked as he realized he couldn\'t escape the grasping of the emerged pale arm, but then, a voice came from within the space-void.

"You still haven\'t answered my question; I will ask one last time. The more there is, the less you see; what am I?"

Raleigh\'s voice sounded from the void as his face slowly emerged from within it, then his whole body. Raleigh now stood in the space, unaffected by the disintegration of the space earlier as he held the neck of the old man with his left arm. He had his expressionless countenance as he stared directly into the eyes of the white-haired old man.

"Who gave you the audacity to come a hundred miles closer, interrupt, and lecture his Primordial Majesty? You are unqualified and unworthy to even exist in his presence."

Raleigh spoke as he simultaneously threw the old man down the earth, causing a loud booming sound after. The old man heavily crashed into the earth as his falling impact made a huge crater which spread for thousands of meters in radius, but as if avoiding the mansion, the spreading crater didn\'t even approach the mansion. Raleigh then launched down at the old man with foot first. His falling speed from over fifty thousand feet in the air caused a huge air resistance on his descending feet.

The old man lay in the crumbles of the crater as he watched the descending Raleigh. Expressing with widened eyes, the old man instantly flipped from the ground as he stood up; he squinted his brightly shining eyes and used his Dao of Prediction. As if knowing something, the old man smirked; he then clenched his hands into fists as he crossed them in a defensive stance. Boom! Raleigh landed the next instant as his two feet clashed with the old man\'s defending arms. Rumble! The surroundings rumbled as the earth intensely vibrated. Although the white-haired old man blocked with his arms, Raleigh\'s landing impact still sent him burrowing deep into the earth.

\'What?! How is this possible? Was my prediction wrong? His landing power wasn\'t supposed to be this strong; at best, this Celestial will have been sent a couple of meters back. Just who are these people.\'

The old man thought as his body continued burrowing into the earth. His luxurious white robe got shredded as his figure dug even further into the ground.

Raleigh launched after the old man as he instantly reached the burrowing figure of the man. Then, Raleigh held the old man\'s long white beard as he began punching the old man\'s face, his punches causing the man\'s head to go back and forth. With every punch from Raleigh, both men dug even further into the earth. Raleigh continuously and heavily sent thousands of punches at the old man in an instant as blood began oozing from the man\'s face.

The two men dug further into the ground as they reached the outer core of the planet of the Immortal Realm. They both were now in a liquid location, but despite their location, Raleigh\'s punches didn\'t slow down the least. But then, the old man gripped Raleigh\'s hand, which was holding his beard as he angrily spoke.

"That\'s enough! Damn it all-- I can\'t stand for such humiliation-- damn the Immortal Gate and the Arkmenians. DAMN IT ALL!! Star Celestial Soul Seal-- Release."

The liquid location where Raleigh and the man were instantly dried up as the next unimaginable instant, the old man\'s body burst out with illuminant white light as it blinded the scene. Raleigh didn\'t bother to block the light as it completely blinded his view; he still had an impassive expression.

At the same time, on the balcony of the fifth-floor mansion, Patrick sat on the luxurious chair with a passionless expression as he watched the fight; he had his head leaning on his right fist. Patrick didn\'t use the system interface to see what was happening as he could everything with a mere glance.

\'It seems even the ancient families fear the Immortal Gate and those little birds. But he didn\'t mention the presence of an Overlord, which means the Immortal Gate mostly governs the central continent. I want to see how strong is the full power of a Star Celestial.\'

"Osborn, give him a minute to express his power."

Deep within the outer core area of the planet of the Immortal Realm, Raleigh received Patrick\'s command as he closed his eyes in respect.

The light bursting from the old man\'s body dwindled as everything returned to normal. With the light gone, the old man now hovered in the outer core area of the planet with a clean and refreshed body as his long white hair and beard radiated with pure heavenly essence. The old man now looked like a god; his eyes shone white, his long hair stood straight, and his half torn robe ceaselessly fluttered in the waterless outer core area. The man stared at Raleigh in the distance as he spoke.

"I don\'t know who or what you are, and I could care less of your dispute with Tieshan, but your existence annoys me, and it\'s high time I end this charade. Sword Law-- Space Law-- Blood Law, Heavenly Truth Seeking Vision, Dao of prediction-- life-ending fate."

VOOM!

Raleigh watched the old man finish his sentence and didn\'t bother him. But the instant the white-haired man finished uttering his techniques, Raleigh watched the old man grab him by the throat as they began flying from the outer core area of the earth, their flying speed being unscalable as both men were in the air the next unimaginable instant.

The old man held Raleigh by the throat as he clenched his right fist, "Star Punch," he then heavily punched Raleigh\'s stomach as Raleigh was sent millions of miles into the distance, his flying speed instantly shattering the space barriers behind him. The old man then held his right arm; drops of blood emerged from his fingertips as they shaped into large long spears. Swoosh--swoosh! the man threw the five long red spears at Raleigh as he also flashed after.

Raleigh\'s figure flew in the distance the next instant; five long red spears tried to penetrate his body, but the blood spears instantly cracked and shattered upon contact with Raleigh. The old man then appeared over Raleigh as he had a big sword, ready to impale it into Raleigh\'s head. Again, the sword instantly shattered into pieces upon contact. Seeing that non of his skill attacks were effective, the old man switched to close combat; the next flash, he began throwing thousands of punches at Raleigh.

"Why?! Why Can\'t you die?-- Why can\'t I predict your death?!-- WHAT ARE YOU?! TELL ME!"

The old man frustratingly bellowed as he ceaselessly attacked Raleigh. Sending him in the air, throwing kicks and hurling millions of blood spears and swords which materialized from his Qi at Raleigh; but frustratingly, nothing was working; his prediction Dao, his heavenly eyes, his three laws, and what was even more frustrating was that he couldn\'t see the life-end fate of Raleigh, meaning Raleigh isn\'t even capable of dying regardless of anything. All these realizations only added to the old man\'s frustration.

But while the old man was busy bellowing in rage and frustration, Raleigh maintained his expressionless face as he allowed the man to enjoy his minute of self-expression. He was getting punched in the face when his system sounded.

[Passive Existence/Being; The Known]

[Accessing and comprehending every Dao that has existed from present to the origin of existence]

[All Daos, Laws and existential principles comprehended]

[Passive Nature: Dao/Law Administrator: If willed, can create and control any Dao in Existence]

[3...2...1, countdown completed]

With the system concluding the countdown, Raleigh blocked the punches from reaching his face by holding the old man\'s arms. Seeing this, the old man completely lost his angry expression as he assumed a frightening one, then Raleigh spoke.

"Your power is pathetic."

BOOM!

Raleigh headbutted the old man\'s face as it instantly sent the man flying, with the man\'s two arms dismembering and remaining in Raleigh\'s hands after. Raleigh threw the arms to the side as he launched after the sent white-beard old man, with a poosh sound resonating behind him. As Raleigh flashed at the man, hundreds of long swords and spears materialized from thin air with law characters etched on them as they launched at the old man. The laws were death, soul, mind, pain, suffering, agony, hate, anger, seal, and restraint, but each sword had a different law etched on it.

The old man watched as the hundreds of spears and swords launched at him at fast speeds. He instantly assumed a fearful expression as he stretched his arms and hurriedly uttered, "Space Law-- Space barrier shield." The space before the old man instantly formed into a shield as it protected the old man, but as if ignoring the laws of space itself, the launching spears and swords passed through the formed barrier shield as they heavily impaled the old man\'s body.

"ARRGGG"

The old man wailed in pain as his body got penetrated by hundreds of spears and swords, and what made the pain even worse was the hundreds of different laws etched on the swords and spears. The penetrating force of hundreds of weapons sent the old man crashing and sticking to the ground as blood sprayed profusely from his impaled parts.

\'What is this feeling, is this pain? It has been aeons since I last felt what pain was like. But why can\'t I use my power? Did he seal my power?\'

The old man frightening thought as he stared at Raleigh hovering above him.

Raleigh had his impassive expression as he stared at the gored state of the old man; blood splurted from the seven apertures of the man while his robe was now soaked in blood. His dismembered arms couldn\'t regenerate as one of the laws on the weapons was the law of restraint. Combined with the hundreds of swords and spears deeply implanted into his body, the man\'s state of being was beyond gruesome.

"The answer to my question was darkness. The more there is darkness, the less you see. Your hearts and minds have been completely shrouded in the dark to the point you can\'t see the fault of your actions anymore. But with actions comes rewards and consequences; your present state is the consequence of your action.

You will be the warning to the Ancient Gong family; if there is any more annoyance like today, there will be no more Ancient family name Gong or its descendants."

Raleigh spoke as he stared at the pathetic state of the old man now covered in blood. Raleigh then stretched his right hand as the spiritual soul of the old man began separating from his body, causing the man to cry in pain even more. With the old man\'s soul extracted from his body, his cultivation greatly reduced as one could see the soul form of the man getting even older. Raleigh clenched his hand as he instantly shattered the old man\'s soul.

Raleigh now hovered before the soulless body of the old man; he stared at the swords and spears as the hundreds of weapons instantly dissipated into essence, blending with the surrounding Qi after. With the swords and spears gone, Raleigh telekinetically raised the corpse of the old man as he severed its head with a swipe of his index finger, with the lower body of the corpse bursting out in flames and vaporizing into ashes after.

Far in the distance, Patrick sat as he expressed a satisfied expression; he raised his head from his arm as he stood. Then, he was hovering above Raleigh as the next moment.

Clap clap clap~

"I\'m impressed; your battle has indeed elevated my mood. What do you want as your reward?"

Raleigh heard Patrick\'s clapping as he then heard him speak after. Raleigh then respectfully knelt and bowed his head as he replied.

"Being by your side is all but the reward this Eternity request, your Primordial highness."

"..., Very well, from now on, you will be my right hand."

"I couldn\'t wish for anything more, primordial highness."

"Hmm. We are leaving for the deeper regions. Send the severed head to the Gong family; this should spike some chaos between the Ancient families."

"As master wishes."

Raleigh rose on his feet and held the old man\'s floating head as he stood in a throwing stance. The next moment, Raleigh casually threw the severed head as it launched in the direction of the core areas of the continent, heading for the Ancient Gong family.

"That should keep them busy until I arrive; after all, the old frog was the little brother of the Gong ancestor."

Patrick smirked.

The Master and servant duo weren\'t at the scene anymore. And not long after, the standing mansion instantly crumbled into dust as it scattered with the surrounding wind.

Ten minutes later.

Four beings emerged from the space; these four beings wore shining gold armours and helmets, in their arms were long golden spears that shone with godly essences. The emergence of the four beings caused the surrounding space to shatter instantly. The four beings each had six wings attached to their backs. One of the four beings spectated the destroyed surroundings of the outer region as he spoke after.

"The elder was right; that PERSON was here."
