The method of becoming the Abyss Lord of this yer of the Abyss wasn't complicated. When all of the intelligent creatures in this yer that were hostile to him were afraid of him, he would naturally become the Abyss Lord.

  The information from the Voice of the World left System speechless, because it was of no use at all.

  It was like if a hard-working student asked the teacher how to get the first pce in the grade, and the teacher replied that as long as he got full marks in all subjects, he would definitely be first pce. If he got full marks, at most someone else could have the same score as him, so being first in the grade would naturally be a foregone conclusion.

  The process System had learned from the Voice of the World was simir.

  If every creature in this yer of the Abyss was already afraid of him, what was the use of having the "Abyss Lord" title?

  But just when System felt that the Voice of the World was just wasting his time, it suddenly told him something else. Because the word "Lord" was in his title, it seemed like he had to make a choice.

  Option one was to do nothing. He would stay as he was, and the Voice of the World would disappear.

  However, if he chose this option, even if all of the creatures in this yer of the Abyss were afraid of him, he couldn't become the Abyss Lord.

  Option two was to transform from a magical life form of the main world into a magical life form of the Abyss.

  In this way, he would become an Abyss creature, and the suppression and rejection on his body would disappear immediately. However, if he went to the main world again, he would be suppressed by the main world.

  Only by choosing the second option would he be qualified to become the Abyss Lord.

  ...

  System naturally wasn't pnning to become the Abyss Lord. He was very clear about how much weight he had.

  However, he was a little conflicted about the option of becoming a magical life form of the Abyss.

  He didn't know how to choose. Was it better for him to stay as he was, or should he become a magical life form of the Abyss?

  After not reaching a conclusion for a long time, System decided to use his [Intuition] to sense which option was better. Unfortunately, no matter how long he waited, his [Intuition] didn't give him any hints.

  He finally thought of Ying and Meatball, as well as his other ant subjects.

  Ying and Meatball were already magical life forms of the Abyss. If the ants were to undergo their third pupations in the Abyss, they would undoubtedly be promoted to magical life forms of the Abyss as well.

  After realizing this, System finally decided to choose to become a magical life form of the Abyss like most of his ant subjects.

  ...

  Just after System responded to the Voice of the World, he heard another strange sound. His body became numb, and he felt as comfortable as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

  "System Pguen Patience..."

  System felt as if something had spoken to him. The voice was very quiet—so quiet that he couldn't hear it clearly.

  He vaguely remembered a few of the voice's words, but he soon forgot them, and there was no record in the video data recorded in the [Tools Menu].

  However, from the Voice of the World's next message, System vaguely understood what the subtle sound he'd heard before had been.

  It had been the true name that he'd received after transforming into an Abyss creature. However, he couldn't know his true name for the time being, and he didn't even know what the true name was for.

  System only knew that his true name had been obtained in advance, and the reason he'd obtained it had been because of his "Lord" title.

  ...

  System woke up in a daze. He didn't know how long it had been since he'd lost consciousness after hearing the Voice of the World's st message.

  Because of his transformation into an Abyss creature, System no longer felt like his body was being rejected by the Abyss, instead feeling very rexed.

  He also naturally understood the Abyss nguage that most of the Abyss's intelligent life forms could master.

  But that was just knowing the nguage. If he wanted to master actually speaking the words of the Abyss, he still had to practice.

  When he looked around, System found that he seemed to be in a damp cave instead of the ruins. Apparently, Shava and other insects had seen him lose consciousness and moved him here.

  He soon found Aura nearby fiddling with gold coins and detected some negative emotions coming from the butterfly.

  System guessed that he had only been unconscious for three days at most. If it had been longer than that, Aura's body would already be back to normal. Instead, the butterfly was still being rejected by the Abyss.

  However, System didn't know exactly how long he had been unconscious, so he asked Aura.

  "How long have I been asleep? Where are the others?"

  "More than ten hours. One of them dug a hole here, and the others went out, probably to find food."

  When he heard System's question, Aura answered very quickly, then went back to using his feet to fiddle with the gold coins on the ground.

  Aura seemed to think that the number of gold coins was wrong, so he was busy counting them.

  System ignored the butterfly.

  He soon heard rustling sounds coming from underground. It seemed like Excavator had already started digging underground.

  After wiggling his antennae a few times, System decided to go to the surface to see what the environment above ground was like.

  However, just as he started moving his body, he suddenly felt something inexplicable in his mind, which made him stop involuntarily...

  ...

  Just like the endless Abyss had countless levels, the main world System had teleported to the Abyss from wasn't the only one that existed.

  Blue Star was one of the universe's many main worlds. It had four continents, two of which were connected and occupied by humans. These two connected continents were called Shen'en by humans, which means the gift of the gods of the human race.

  In the northeast corner of Shen'en Continent, there were many colleges established for humans to learn magical powers, and Helis College was one of them.

  In a remote utility room in the academy, a disheveled little fat man scratched his greasy golden hair and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

  "Die, die, die, die..."

  The little fat man cut his finger with a piece of broken gss, letting his blood flow down, then used his blood to write strange symbols on the debris-covered ground. He spoke incoherently like a madman.

  Next to the little fat man was a very old and yellowed leather book with the words "Book of Abyss Summoning" written on the cover.

  Before long, the little fat man suddenly widened his eyes, as there had finally been a response to his summons this time.

  "I am willing to give up my life if you help me kill him..."

  The little fat man kept speaking to the empty wall of the utility room.

  A few minutes ter, the little fat man's summoning seemed to have made progress, and his expression had become much more rexed.

  However, half an hour ter, he suddenly widened his eyes and fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.

  His originally tight skin became loose and rough in just a few seconds, and the fluffy hair on his head began to fall off. The little fat man gradually turned into a middle-aged man.

  Because the Abyss creature hadn't agreed to his sacrifice, the summoning had failed, and the little fat man had lost half of his remaining lifespan.

  He recalled the scene of the monster he'd just seen in his mind.

  The monster he'd summoned this time had been covered with tentacles and looked strange. Unlike the previous frenzied and violent Abyss creatures, it had been surprisingly calm and could communicate.

  However, just when the little fat man thought his conversation with the monster was going well and it seemed like the monster was about to agree to his sacrifice, the Abyss monster had suddenly left...

  Even after deciding to sacrifice his life, the little fat man had still failed.

  This was his twenty-seventh failure...
