Chapter 22: New Change
But as soon as that thought appeared, she forcefully suppressed it.
'No, damn it! If I do it again, he will hate me forever. I just got my son back. I won't lose him.'
At this moment, she didn't realize her nails were piercing her palms. She gritted her teeth and thought.
'I should've never given him to them. I should've kept him by my side. I will accept that inheritance right at this moment and get stronger.'
'Then, I will kill the old man and become the next leader of my family. With my strength and influence, I can bring Ken back to the family.'
She gritted her teeth and took out a green stone from her space ring.
When that green stone touched her, her frustrated and angry expression soothed immediately.
The moment that happened, Qingying realized what she was about to do and immediately felt frustrated.
'Oh my god! What happened to me? My emotions were out of control. I was just about to kill my son's girlfriend and my father.'
'What could've possibly happened?'
At this moment, she looked at the green stone and thought.
'When I got it from the Ancient Demon God's inheritance, I thought it was some kind of evil treasure.'
'That's why I never accepted it. But just right now, it actually helped me control my emotions.'
'If this was evil in a way I used to think, it should've intensified my emotions. But that didn't happen.'
'Should I accept the inheritance? I mean, except for killing the old man, I can pretty much rule the family if I accept this inheritance.'
'Then, there will be nothing stopping me from taking my son back home.'
At this moment, her thoughts paused.
'I know what kind of person I am. I get jealous very easily when Chen is around other women, even though they weren't in a relationship.'
'Even then, I never thought of killing those women. I just hoped he would stay away from those women.'
'But this time, it was different. I truly wanted to kill that girl and my father. It wasn't an ordinary jealousy.'
'It was more like a primal instinct to be with Ken.'
When that realization struck her mind, she shrank her eyes and shook her head.
'Impossible! He is my son. How can I have such thoughts? Impossible!'
She kept shaking her head, but her breathing was getting faster. She wasn't sure what was happening to her.
She clenched her hand around the green rock and crushed it.
...............
Outside the house, Ken was roaming around the house. He was confused, yet excited.
'How could this happen? Damn it! How can she have such a thought towards her?'
'Have I truly degenerated so low? I might not treat her as a mother, but I still have her blood flowing in my veins.'
'Damn it! What the hell is wrong with me?'
[Host, it's a clash of identities!]
Ken stopped and asked.
'What do you mean? I thought I was a perfect blend of Grant, Tenshi, and maybe even Xin.'
[That's the problem, Host! These three people have three different identities. Ken Grant grew up in a completely normal world, influenced by animation, stories, and later hentai!]
[Ken Tenshi grew up in a struggle. He was cautious and grew up to be an ideal influence for those who came from nothing. He went through hundreds of years of struggle and carved attention, pleasure, and strength.]
[Ken Xin grew up between two loving families. He was kind, honest, and frank, yet molded by the cautious nature of his adopted parents. He hadn't seen the world, only dreams of becoming a strong cultivator.]
[Do you understand now, Host? You are a perfect blend between these people, but that creates a problem.]
At this moment, Ken fell on his back and placed his hand on his face.
'I understand. Grant's depravity collides with Xin's honesty. And, with Tenshi's two hundred years of carving for attention, pleasure, and strength, Grant's depravity often wins.'
'But I can't change, right? I mean, how am I supposed to change all of this? Become a monk? I can't even do that.'
While he was thinking about it, the system suddenly sent a new notification.
[Congratulations, Host! You have made a major change.]
[You receive 25 Destiny Eggs]
'Whoa! What the hell did I do?'
Ken was stunned when he got this notification.
25 Destiny Eggs reward was quite big, like seriously big. After all, he had already doubted that Makim was somehow connected to the Nether Race.
For that, he only got 5 Destiny Eggs. And now this change dwarfed that reward, which only meant one thing.
Something major happened, something that wasn't supposed to happen in the original timeline.
[You made your mother choose an inheritance that she had been holding on to for almost a decade now.]
'What? What kind of inheritance? Is it Evil? Otherwise, she wouldn't make such a decision, right?'
[Ding! Would you like to consume 1 Destiny Egg to know the full information?]
When he saw that, Ken's lips twitched.
'System, are you seriously trying to get Destiny Eggs from me? Isn't this something you used to do for free?'
[Host, System adapts! No matter what the situation is, the System will adapt.]
'Fuck you and your adaptation! One Destiny Egg can help me cross one minor realm without trying anything at all.'
[But, the information is totally worth it.]
Ken thought for a moment and agreed.
'Well, it's not like I can go and ask 'Hey Mom, did you accept the inheritance from an Evil God?' Though if I do act enough, she might give me the answers.'
'But for now, I can't do that. Alright, system!'
A few seconds later, new panels appeared in front of him while the sound of his system rang in his head.
[Your mother has accepted the Inheritance of Ancient Demon God. Ancient Demon God was a Sixth Tier Dimensional God from Ancient Times.]
[Because of his inaccessibility to enter our world on his own, he would often use his powers to influence others and enter the world through them.]
[It would often lead to mass destruction and death, giving him the title of Demon God. One of his best ways to spread influence is through power.]
[He has created three items: Ghost of Pluto, Rock of Time, and Casket of Demon Heart]
[Your mother acquired Rock of Time. It stores the inheritance of Time-based Cultivation Technique, Secret Art, and Dao Art.]
[If she practices this to perfection, she can easily destroy a world like this.]
[But what's bad is that the moment she crushes the outer layer of rock, it will release an energy]
[That energy will invade her body and slowly turn her into a doorway to his arrival.]
[He can also control her body to release his full power into this world. Your mother was influenced by Touch of Passion.]
[Because her emotions were heightened a lot, she wanted to accept that inheritance.]
[But Ancient Demon God's power could easily overwhelm any other kind of emotions, giving her a clear mindset.]
[Still, though, as the system answered before, Touch of Passion doesn't awaken new kinds of emotions in others' bodies. It's just awakens what's hidden underneath.]
At this moment, Ken immediately paused the system and asked.
'Wait, wait, wait, are you saying all of this happened because I freaking touched her? Seriously, should I go around touching other people?'
'And, you are telling me, a Dimensional God has invaded my mother's body? And, what the hell is a Dimensional God?'
[Yes, Host! Your mother is a dangerous Yandere. As a mother, she will not harm you, but she wants you to herself.]
[But normally, this emotion was suppressed by her mind. Only it changed when she touched you.]
[But, not all people are like your mother. So, even if you go around touching others, you won't cause any major changes.]
[Unless you truly hit a jackpot and touched someone important.]
[As for Dimensional Gods! They are people from Ancient Times who were expelled from the universe.]
[After every million years, the universe faces a big cleansing. After all, the cultivators often absorb its energy to become immortal.]
[But the energy in the universe isn't unlimited. So, it tries to destroy those cultivators and regain its energy.]
[But some of those people become so strong that the universe can't kill them using Heavenly Tribulations, so it expels them outside the universe.]
[Unless they are strong enough to destroy the universe, they can't enter the universe in their true form.]
[So, they start by manipulating the people in the universe and take control of their bodies.]
[Ancient Demon God was one of the Dimensional Gods from the Sixth Eon. After every eon, the Dimensional God becomes weaker.]
[So, the First Tier Dimensional God is the strongest, but for a certain reason, any Dimensional God from before the fifth Eon has stopped paying attention to this universe.]
At this moment, Ken hopelessly stared at the dark sky and thought.
'Is this the fate of the protagonist? I haven't even become the strongest in this world, but I have to worry about the Cosmic Level Gods.'
