The mystical, bright light from Han Jue's treasures failed to keep Snow White from staring intently.

Under Snow's gaze, Han Jue slowly stood up.

Her baby limbs tensed in preparation. Yes, Snow White remained a cute baby. It didn't bother her too much.

Out of the two options, she finally chose. Snow opened her mouth.

*Ba—* (I—)

Han Jue moved. His figure turned into multiple beams of light that scattered across the Chaos.

*Babble!* (Everyone's running away these days! I wasn't even gonna do anything.)

Indeed, she opened her mouth to converse. The unknown ally mentioned in the rewards piqued her interest more than the Luck stat.

'Even if my Luck is high, I still get put through all kinds of bothersome things.'

'Luck is pretty useless!'

Reacting a mere moment later, Snow used the map function to find Han Jue.

<Reign>

The crystalline purple lotus without its owner disappeared from sight, replaced by the fleeing owner without its flower.

As quickly as she may have appeared, Han Jue retaliated as seven blades of light corrupted the area with their emergence. Weaved from the Seven Supreme Rules of Han Jue's version of the Chaos, they appeared to send all his enemies to oblivion.

*Clang* *Clang*

TheRefuge never left Snow White unattended. Each light blade shrilly scraped against TheRefuge without effect. Undeterred, the parried light blades quickly returned with a vengeance and continued their onslaught.

Instead of Snow, the Chaos received the brunt of the attacks. Countless universes ceased to exist in the span of a breath.

<Annihilate>

The seven blades of oblivion vanished without a trace.

Without the nuisances, Snow looked around and found no trace of their maker either. He escaped while she was distracted. Fortunately, she still had the map.

Giving it a quick peek, she commanded space and time to immediately give chase.

<Reign>

Snow appeared near the fleeing Han Jue. However, he was no longer inside the Chaos but outside it.

The blank domain. An endless, barren expanse transcending the Chaos. It was a dangerous place that no one would dare traverse.

Snow recognized it from her memories. But Han Jue had an incredibly high cultivation realm. The blank domain didn't impede him in the slightest.

*Babble* (Stop! Let's just chill out, alright?)

Her attempt to communicate proved to be useless. Han Jue acted as if he didn't hear it as he went further into the blank domain.

The duo reached an odd impasse. Snow would appear and babble while Han Jue would ignore her. Again and again.

She guessed the reason why.

*Babble* (Dammit! He can't understand me!) Snow babbled like a frustrated Pokemon, saying the same thing but in different ways.

She accessed her memories to briefly become familiar with all the languages of the Chaos, after which she released a small amount of Magicules to aid in his capture.

Plan B!

'Catch him for me!'

Han Jue felt the blank domain suddenly fill with an ominous power.

"Dangerous!" he remarked, feeling his skin tighten in trepidation.

The Magicules trailed behind him, but he remained faster. That is until they appeared from out of thin air itself.

<Reign>

Distortions appeared in the blank domain. Han Jue felt the power of space work against him. As a Dao Creator, he flexed his authority and commanded the Great Dao of Space to work in his favor and expected it to comply.

To his surprise, the distortions vehemently grew in number.

<Reign!>

The spatial distortions spewed out a suffocating amount of Magicules. They came from all directions, creating a sphere of incredibly dense magic with Han Jue at its core, just as Snow White wanted.

The spherical prison started to shrink, closing in on Han Jue.

He waved his hand. The power of three thousand Great Dao emerged as a mystical power big enough to cover the Chaos.

"Ultimate Heaven Origin Seal!"

In a manner befitting its grandiose name, the seal managed to punch a small hole through the entrapment about the size of the tip of a needle.

'So small!? That's it?!' he internally screamed in resentment. But being capable of such a feat spoke of his strength.

The Magicules that Snow White generated were no longer ordinary in the first place.

---------------

[Ding!]

[Ultimate Heaven Origin Seal Skill |Rank: XVII| Skill Successfully Obtained]

----------

While heading towards the minuscule gap, Han Jue immediately turned in another direction after sensing an abnormality.

"!"

The gap expelled large amounts of Magicules that slowly filled the spherical prison, relentlessly chasing after Han Jue.

Multiple Ultimate Heaven Origin Seals erupted and impeded the inundation of Magicules.

---------------

----------

Han Jue took the opportunity to condense his seven blades of light into one, resplendent jian.

The wall of the spherical prison quickly approached him.

"Pierce!"

He stabbed the spherical blockade and drilled through it with great difficulty. Han Jue emerged to the other side, finding himself in the somewhat safer blank domain.

However, at this moment, he didn't know where to go.

Nevertheless, Han Jue didn't want to die or get captured.

'Not here, not ever!'

His fleeing figure became faster and faster, burrowing deeper into the unknown depths of the blank domain. It was his only shot at life!

*Babble* (Bro, don't go!)

Despite her spatial powers, it didn't make up for her lack of agility. Even more so, Han Jue seemed to be able to know exactly where she would appear from or what attacks Snow would throw.

'Should I just eat him?'

She shook her head. Maybe she can talk to him, get the system reward, trigger it again, and then eat him...

But such thoughts were useless unless she caught Han Jue.

'I'll need to get serious.'

She opened the map and ignored the yellow marker fleeing into the distance. Snow checked for any living beings nearby.

'Perfect.'

Finding none, she babbled a phrase different from the norm.

(System, open TheRoom.)

---------------

[Reconfirmation is required]

[Would the host like to proceed?]

----------

(Please.)

Usually, Snow would request the System to briefly halt the absorption of Magicules so that she may manipulate them to her liking. Never once did her Magicules reserves completely fill since the day she decided to have the System absorb them into TheRoom.

The meager amount of Magicules was enough, most of the time. Until today, that is.

Protogenoi-K, the skill which allowed the System to absorb and store the limitless amount of Magicules Snow generates through TheRoom, now contains an endless amount of Magicules.

Never once did the Magicule Breeder Reactor skill, or √Root, stop producing Magicules.

.

Snow released all she could muster, commanding, "Fill the blank domain! Replace it! Until he can't run or hide!"

She babbled, but her intent rang true.

Gaining a will of their own, nearby Magicules automatically transformed into coherent symbols beside her face.

Yes, like subtitles.

With her command, Magicules instantly flooded the infinite blank domain. It entered a period of deterioration, turning into nothingness, achieving a state of blankness until the Magicules replaced it as its new foundation.

What was once blank now overflowed with other-worldly energy.

No longer would the blank domain be called as such. It became a place brimming with pure and unending magic.

The spread of destruction and restoration washed over the fleeing Han Jue. Before he could react to the phenomenon, the Magicules that suddenly surrounded him latched onto every inch of his skin.

A humanoid sculpture stood where Han Jue once was, glistening with an arcane sheen.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Return."

The Magicules drifted back home, inside their place in TheRoom.

Behind it, an empty nihility was all that remained. No blankness or profound mysteries survived the grand renewal that occurred.

Only a true blank domain remained in their wake.

.

.

[Ding!]

Magicule Manipulation |Rank: X --> XVII|

----------

Snow arrived by the humanoid sculpture's side. Twiddling her finger, the Magicules that made up the sculpture's head receded into her body. Not TheRoom, but into her veins where they circulated like gentle streams of water.

Han Jue's head was revealed. A world devoid of anything and nothing greeted him.

In his peripheral vision, Han Jue saw Snow White. Immediately, he tried to break free.

'???'

Confusion slowly filled his faultless face.

'?????'

Breaking the magical constraints was a lot harder than he thought.

'???????'

Much, much more challenging than he thought.

'?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?'

Seals, Dharma Idols, Oblivion Swords—none of them even managed to dim the Magicules' arcane sheen.

As he continued exerting strength to break free, Han Jue squinted as he tried to glare at Snow, murder in his mind.

In fact, Han Jue already attacked her the moment he could see again. But every time, TheRefuge—that stupid barrier kept getting in the way.

Snow White didn't notice the glare or the attempt at her life. Han Jue still had his face covered by divine light, courtesy of his treasure, while the attacks struck from behind.

Besides, Snow was focused on the treasure hiding his appearance.

She rubbed her baby chin in contemplation.

*Babble* (I can use that... my Charm stat will burden me no more! This way, I can hide my appearance for real!)

She could then go to any store without a hood on or walk around while feeling the sun on her face—

'Wait. That probably won't work in my old world. It's pretty attention-grabbing with the whole "light shining from my face." People might even start kneeling on the ground in worship. Yikes.'

Sighing, she still wanted the appearance-hiding equipment anyway.

'Maybe I can borrow it later... I'll talk to them first.'

Snow appeared before Han Jue, floating to eye level.

With a better view, Han Jue naturally glared even more fiercely. He met her crimson eyes, the same red as his own.

'Weren't they golden before?'

Incapable of using his divine sense while held captive, Han Jue stared with his eyes even more intensely.

'Crap.'

It was a mistake.

Han Jue went into a daze. But unlike before, his face contorted to show his anguish, not appreciation. Each breath became shorter as he resisted the bubbling urge to retch.

He felt an inexplicable terror while staring into those eyes that resembled his. The word "cute" didn't enter his mind, only the urge to look away. His body, however, refused to listen.

Meanwhile, Snow prepared to babble her way into receiving the System reward.

She opened her mouth.

...

..

.

..

...

'Uhh, what should I say?'

Snow White paused to think.

...

..

.

..

...

'I'll let him speak first.' she decided, her social ineptitude finally making itself known.

It was her turn to glare at him, albeit without hostility.

Han Jue remained dazed out of his mind.

...

..

.

..

...

---------------

[Notice]

[Quest Time Remaining]: 13 days, 23 hours, 24 minutes, 10 seconds.

----------

After a few minutes, she noticed something amiss. Snow White waved her hand in front of Han Jue's face, but he remained unresponsive.

She clicked her tongue. "You serious? Even the Charm stat is working against me? I don't have time for this!"

With the greatest strength she could muster, Snow White slapped his face. (A/N: Face slapping in a cultivation novel. How cliche.)

She wasn't worried about killing or maiming Han Jue. After all, the man before her was a major cultivation realm higher.

The difference between them physically was like an ant going against a Saiki without their limiter on.

It shouldn't hurt. Hell, she wasn't sure if it would even do anything.

Snow White's hand phased through the divine light, and inside, she felt smooth and supple skin.

From the force of the impact, Han Jue's whole body flew into the distance.

Han Jue regained his wits, awakened by a stinging pain.

"Ah—! Shit!"

"Sorry, sorry!"

Abiding by her intent, a trace of Magicules accidentally coated her hand at the last moment. They made sure that Han Jue woke up, following her wishes.

The Magicules from her hand transformed and dragged Han Jue back.

"I didn't mean to wake you up so painfully."

They then transformed Snow's babbles into coherent symbols hanging in mid-air in front of him. Real life subtitles.

Seeing this, a weird expression formed on Han Jue's face.

He thought in wonder, 'To use such great power in this way... her outrageousness knows no bounds.'

Han Jue unconsciously tried to rub away the burning sensation on his cheek. Annoyingly for him, his limbs were bound.

'I can't compete...'

Han Jue took a few moments to take deep breaths. Unwilling to catch a glimpse of her appearance, he lowered his head.

"What... do you want from me?" Han Jue asked.

Somehow, Han Jue remained alive. He couldn't forget the honey-golden haze that predated the Chaos. It was capable of consuming anything. But here he was, bound yet alive.

"Why am I still here...?" Han Jue murmured in a low voice, yet loud enough that Snow can hear.

'Oh, finally! Now we're talking, literally!'

Excited, Snow pumped her arms in celebration.

'Option reward, be mine!'

All she had to do was talk to Han Jue and not eat him to get some help from some unknown person. It's too easy!

The System, however, snuffed her excitement as quickly as it came.

---------------

[The host, please talk to the System holder more]

[The reward conditions are as follows]:

[Snow White Wants To Communicate]

- Exchange more than a hundred words [22/150]

----------

'Oh, come on. He doesn't even want to look me in the eyes.'

Snow expressed her annoyance with a harrumph. The Magicules expressed her annoyance by morphing into menacing Japanese symbols hanging overhead.

*Gogogogogogogo...*

"Ugh....."

She stared down at Han Jue, thinking about what questions to ask.

A second later, Snow thought of a subject she was curious about.

"Hey, do you know the Creator?"

"The Creator?"

"Yep. I'm looking for him."

The first topic Snow thought of was related to Han Jue's system. Since she has a system that was made by the Creator, it's possible that Han Jue's system was made by him as well.

Hearing her words, Han Jue couldn't help but speculate.

'The Creator... is she looking for a Dao Creator like me? The Ninth Chaos?' he deliberated.

However, none of them struck him as capable of garnering the anomaly's interest.

'Or maybe... a Creator Lord? The realm above a Dao Creator? No one should've reached that realm yet... unless a Creator Lord has somehow hidden all this time. But why hide in the first place?'

'Right. Because of Eira...'

'Does that mean that she is a Creator Lord too?'

Organizing his disorderly thoughts, Han Jue replied, "I don't know of anyone called The Creator..."

Before Snow could sigh in disappointment, he continued.

"...but there is something called the Creation Will."

The C word instantly attracted her attention.

"Where is this Creation Will?"

"I'll tell you if you guarantee my well-being."

"We'll see."

Snow mentally spoke to the System.

'Good Buddy O' Pal, what's the range of Omniscient Scan?'

[The current range of the System Function, Omniscient Scan, cannot exceed the size of the current Omniverse at the moment]

[The System recommends the host increase their base stats to increase the maximum range]

'Alright, thanks.'

'Creation Will, Creation Will... reveal yourself.'

---------------

[Omniscient Scan]

----------

Different from the usual Omniscient Scan, Snow released an arctic blue wave with her at its center. It traversed the Omniverse in a manner of seconds.

The Omniscient Scan bore fruit. A yellow marker indicated that the Creation Will existed on the System map, complete with its current location.

'Wait a second...'

The Creation Will was nearby. Really, really close to their position.

Snow looked in its direction. The yellow marker hovered over Han Jue.

He exhaled, "As expected. You can detect it."

"Can you explain?"

"It's what made me, me."

A thought flashed through Snow's mind.

'The Creation Will is his system? It must be. But I thought its name was The Life of Games?'

'Whatever.'

"Can I talk to it?" she asked.

Han Jue sighed and attempted to shrug. "Do I have a choice? It also depends on its mood."

"Tell it that I'll eat it if it doesn't come out."

Although she didn't know if it was possible to eat a system, giving it a try wouldn't hurt.

For her, that is.

Han Jue's face paled in complexion.

(There is no need. I am here.]

A rainbow silhouette emerged from inside Han Jue. It bowed with its "hands" folded behind its back.

(How do you do, milady?]

Snow White raised her brow.

'Milady? More like, baby. What a weirdo.'

"Umm, good, I guess," she replied before getting straight to the point.

"Do you know of The Creator? An old man with greying red hair, looks messy, eats a lot, acts like a prick, really powerful..." Snow listed all the features she could remember. Surprising herself, there was a lot she remembered.

Any and every detail easily came to mind. His smile; his voice; his every gesture, every word; the smell of food, fried rice, I want more...

'Not now! Don't get distracted! I'll eat when I complete The Creator's quest.' Snow slapped her bubbly baby cheeks.

(...]

The Creation Will didn't respond.

The Magicules altered their shape again. "Hey, I said, 'Do you know of The Creator?'"

(...]

She looked at Han Jue. "What's wrong with him?"

He attempted to shrug but failed again. Noticing this, Snow released Han Jue from his Magicule bindings. They drifted around her idly, awaiting a command.

(...]

"..."

Nothing changed. The Creation Will remained silent.

---------------

[Answer the host]

----------

The System's voice and notification popped up. Finally, the Creation Will replied to it gleefully.

(Of course!]

For the first time, Snow felt the Creation Will properly stare into her eyes, doing so despite the will-o-wisp-like frame that lacked it.

(What...]

It paused, its words stuck in its rainbow throat. The head part of the Creation Will's silhouette turned to the side.

Facing another direction, it carried on with its words.

(...q-questions might y-you have?]

Snow's eyes twitched in annoyance. From the start, the Creation Will never referred to her as 'milady' but her System.

Yeah, wait. What the fuck?

'You've been ignoring me?'

The surrounding Magicules turned menacing once more. She turned to Han Jue on the sidelines. He was still here despite being free. He didn't take the chance to escape, since... where can he go exactly?

"You had to deal with this guy? I pity you," she told him.

'I'm glad you're pretty cool, My System.'

[The System is flattered]

[The System suggests that the host consume the Creation Will to avoid a headache]

The suggestion was like music to her ears. Indeed, she could pick this option from the start.

"Yeah. We really do get along."

<Consume>

A honey-golden haze accompanied her irritated babbles.

.

The Creation Will frantically waved its hands.

(Wait, wait! I was joking!]

Magicules spelled out Snow's thoughts.

"That wasn't funny."

The honey-golden haze continued to approach. Unlike before, it took its precious time. Instead of consuming the Creation Will directly, it surrounded the rainbow wisp, slowly moving in.

Han Jue started to worry.

'If Eira eats the Creation Will, I'll lose my greatest helper in cultivation.' he thought. 'But I can't do anything to save it.'

He hardened his heart.

'My life is more important!' Clenching his fist, he remembered why cultivation reigned supreme over all desires.

The strong devoured the weak. Just as how it was in the Chaos, the same happened here. And he could do nothing but watch.

(No need to be so serious—!]

The Creation Will disappeared within the murky belly of the hazy beast. Han Jue, with slight apprehension, observed any abnormalities in his body.

A connection defying all manners of logicality existed between him and the Creation Will. Anything that happened to the Creation Will, anything at all, may prove catastrophic to Han Jue.

"I was kidding too," Snow suddenly babbled with a mischievous expression.

The rainbow line connecting Han Jue and The Creation Will remained.

(Hah... haha... v-very funny... good o-one...]

TheSoul retracted, revealing a flickering Creation Will. Han Jue heaved a sigh of relief after seeing this.

Amused, Snow thought to herself, 'I'm not eating it. I might screw up my option reward.'

---------------

[Snow White Wants To Communicate]

- Exchange more than a hundred words [476/150]

[Receive the reward][?]

----------

It seems that Snow White had a lot to say about The Creator. Mostly negative.

She babbled to the mystical wisp, "Now, please tell me what you know."

(Alright then.]

The Creation Will rubbed its chin in contemplation. Finally, it spoke.

(I don't know anything about this Creator of yours.] it quickly announced before asking a question. But it wasn't directed at Snow.

(So, are you a magician, Miss System? It is the strangest thing, but every time I look at you, everyone else disappears.]

Silence befell the empty domain.

...

..

.

..

...

*Babble* "..."

---------------

[...]

----------

(...]

'...Did the Creation Will just flirt with Eira's System?'

Involuntarily, Han Jue's mouth opened to an unnatural degree.

'Is this how I die... that idiot!'
