Crossing the World of Warcraft: I am an Ancient God

"Then tell me, what should I do next? Are my friends in trouble?" Yun asked unwillingly, a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in his voice.

The Firstborn was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I can hardly see your future."

Yun frowned tightly, he was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "So, you don't know anything? Then why did you come out?" There was obvious dissatisfaction and disappointment in his tone.

The Firstborn didn't seem angry at Yun's questioning. He replied calmly, "You were the one who asked me to come out."

Yun became more and more agitated, "I called you many times, but you never came out. You came out this time, but you didn't say a single word of use!" His voice unconsciously rose eight octaves, and the dissatisfaction in his heart surged like a tide.

The "self-reflection" of the past few days hadn't brought Yun any good solutions, but instead made him even more anxious and irritable. The thought that he might share the same tragic fate as those under his command made his heart grow heavier.

However, the Firstborn's words were like a bucket of cold water, mercilessly extinguishing the flame of hope in Yun's heart. "Although you've gone the furthest, it's only by a little. This distance is insignificant in the long river of time." The Firstborn's voice remained calm, as if what he was saying was simply a simple fact.

After hearing this, Yun's anger suddenly rose. "Are you saying you don't care about me anymore?"

"This is your path. I am only giving you some help on the path you must take." The tone of the First Born remained calm, as if everything he did was insignificant.

However, Yun became angrier and angrier as he listened. He widened his eyes and retorted angrily, "My way? Then I'll just go wherever I want!" He felt that the words of the First Born were just perfunctory and he didn't take his predicament seriously at all.

The Firstborn seemed unaffected by Yun's anger. He continued calmly, "Of course, it's up to you to follow your own path. I've never interfered."

Yun sneered and interrupted the First Born without any hesitation: "You...you haven't intervened? You haven't participated in so many coincidences?" His voice was full of doubt and dissatisfaction. He felt that the First Born was lying and that those seemingly coincidental things must be manipulated by the First Born.

Facing Yun's questioning, the Firstborn showed no sign of panic. He slowly explained, "I'm simply taking advantage of the situation. I don't have the power to force something that has nothing to do with you upon you. Just like your arrival in the other world this time, it was destined. Although there could be many different outcomes along the way, they will all converge at this crucial point in the end."

After listening to the explanation of the First Born, Yun's anger did not subside. He asked directly: "I'm in this situation now, can't you help me?" He hoped that the First Born could give him some substantial help instead of just comforting him with some empty words.

However, the Firstborn's answer disappointed Yun. He said calmly, "No, this is what you should experience."

"I've never seen you so stingy!" Yun complained with a look of dissatisfaction. "You know my past situations too. Everyone who comes here should give some help. But you, you haven't given me anything yet!"

The Firstborn seemed unconcerned by Yun's complaints. He whispered, "Haha, outside help isn't actually conducive to your growth. You have too many uncertainties within yourself, too many areas where you could develop. However, when you accept help from others, it actually becomes a constraint. By relying on others' help, you'll never surpass their strength."

Yun retorted disapprovingly, "That's easy to say! Without these people's help, I wouldn't even be alive today, let alone growing!"

The Firstborn sighed helplessly and said, "You don't even know that wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Well, since you insist so much, I'll give you what you want most."

"What do I want most? Do you know what I want most?" Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a fire of hope had suddenly ignited. He couldn't help but think excitedly, after all, the Firstborn was the most powerful being he had ever encountered! What it would give him was definitely not ordinary. Although Yun still had some doubts about whether it could truly understand his deepest desires, something was better than nothing!

At this moment, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in Yun's mind: "System loading..." This familiar voice surprised Yun and made him feel familiar, because he hadn't heard the system voice in a long time. This sudden change caught Yun off guard, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Do you feel it? This thing can help you the most right now." There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in the voice of the First Born, as if it had already seen through Yun's true thoughts.

Yun tried to remain calm, trying not to let the Firstborn see his inner excitement. He feigned composure and replied, "Well, it's okay. But why did it suddenly come back? And why did it leave in the first place?" Although Yun's heart was already turbulent, he still pretended to be calm.

"It was created by Flor. To make it more intelligent, Flor incorporated a number of residual consciousnesses into it. These consciousnesses gradually merged within the system, eventually forming their own ideas. Flor's goal is to reset the entire world! If his plan succeeds, the system itself will disappear. Therefore, to protect itself, the system must stop you and Flor." Yun was stunned by the Firstborn's words. He had originally thought that someone had simply opened a backdoor in the system, or secretly hacked it, and suddenly wanted to kill him. However, the truth was far stranger than he had imagined - the plot of artificial intelligence rebelling against humanity, so common in movies, was actually unfolding in this seemingly backward magical world.

Yun's eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked, "Oh, so that's how it is! So, will it have similar problems now?" Although Yun had long been aware of the system's self-awareness, he had always found it quite interesting and even looked forward to becoming friends with it. However, the fact that the system wanted to murder him left Yun feeling extremely sad and disappointed.

"Of course not," the Firstborn's voice was gentle but firm. "Before, there were many things that required its judgment and assistance, but your situation is very different now. It only needs to pass on the information you desire to know."

"Alright." Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of joy upon hearing this. Although he knew nothing about the system's current state, thinking back on his own journey, the system had indeed provided him with immense assistance. Now that he had the system back, Yun's heart was filled with joy.

Furthermore, Yun was secretly pondering a few subtle thoughts. Since this system was created by Flor, his own abilities might not be much different from Flor's. While he might not be able to create an identical system, a simplified version should be achievable. With his own system, Yun believed he could avoid many detours, which would undoubtedly be a huge boost to his development.

Yun didn't rush to summon the system, as he secretly suspected that the Firstborn might be observing him from a distance. Therefore, Yun decided to remain calm and indifferent to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After all, Yun was seriously injured and needed some time to recuperate. Once he recovered, he could calm down and study this mysterious system.

Time passed day by day, and finally the next day arrived. Yun began to call out to the system with great anticipation: "System, system."

However, to his great disappointment, the system did not respond immediately as he had expected. Instead, it responded with an emotionless, mechanical voice: "System loading..."

"What's going on? A day has passed, why is the system still loading? How long will this take?" Yun couldn't help but complain, and the excitement in his heart was instantly extinguished.

In the days that followed, Yun would tirelessly call the system every day, but the only response he received was "System loading..." His patience gradually wore thin, and his mood grew increasingly irritable.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had some trust in the First Born, Yun would have been unable to contain himself and would have wanted to find the First Born to find out the truth.

At the same time, Yun harbored a glimmer of hope deep down. He mused: The larger the game, the more diverse its features. However, this also meant that loading times would be relatively slow. The system had already been loading for a long time, and Yun couldn't help but wonder if the system's expansion, coupled with the increased functionality, was causing the long loading times? If that was the case, then perhaps the improvements he could achieve would be even greater than he anticipated.

Time flew by, and days passed in a flash. Yun's wounds had gradually healed, and the pain had subsided significantly. Normally, Yun should have set out to find his companions. However, since the system hadn't yet finished loading, Yun kept thinking about waiting until it was finished before setting out.

"You're such a weirdo!" Venali exclaimed as she paced around the cloud. "This energy of the Lord of Weapons is simply impossible to eliminate. The energy of all Eternals is like this. Whether it's slow erosion or precise tracking and positioning, it's extremely efficient. That's why they're called Eternals. But what's unbelievable is that you were able to completely eliminate the Lord of Weapons' energy. This is truly amazing!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter. At least I'm still no match for the Lord of Soldiers. Even if I want to seek revenge on him, it will be difficult." Yun said somewhat dejectedly. His strength was not good enough and the system had not been loaded yet, which made him even more confused now.

"Those Eternals have survived for countless long years. They have experienced more things than you can imagine, almost covering everything you can think of. Moreover, they will continue to strengthen themselves based on these experiences. This kind of accumulation and growth is something you can never compare to. So, if you say that you can be stronger than them, I will never believe it." Winali said seriously.

After hearing what Winali said, Yun showed a very disappointed expression on his face. He muttered to himself, "Doesn't that mean I will never be their opponent?"

Seeing this, Winali sighed softly and continued to explain, "Ah, why don't you understand? Actually, strengths can sometimes become weaknesses. Those Eternals have solved so many problems, which has given them the illusion that their current state is the best and there's nothing left to improve. However, they overlook an important fact: often, in such seemingly perfect situations, the hidden dangers are the most deadly."

Yun suddenly understood why Winali wanted to save him. It turned out that she had been gambling on the emergence of someone who could pose a threat to the Eternals at a critical moment.

"But why do you do this?" Yun asked curiously.

Winali's expression changed slightly, and she was clearly a little angry. She bit her lip and said, "My hometown was destroyed by these people."

Yun was surprised. He had thought Winali's hometown was Karesh, and that it had been destroyed by Dimensius. Without hesitation, he asked, "Huh? Isn't your hometown Karesh? Wasn't it destroyed by Dimensius?"

Winali's eyes became a little strange. She stared at Yun closely, as if she was very surprised that he knew these things.

"What's wrong?" Yun felt a little guilty. After all, it was Yun who gave these Karesh people the coordinates of Dimensius at a certain time and space, which eventually led to the destruction of Karesh.

"How do you know?" asked Winali.

"Of course I have my own channels, otherwise how would I dare to be enemies with these Eternals." Yun explained hurriedly.

"Haha, okay, although my hometown was destroyed by Dimensius, it was at their instigation that Dimensius was created. Moreover, over the countless years, whenever they felt that the souls in the other world were not enough, they would release Dimensius." Winali's tone was obviously a little angry.

"They...how could they be like this?" Yun was furious when he heard this. Didn't they treat the universe as their pasture? Were the living beings nothing more than straw in their eyes?

"They are eternal beings. They don't care about the lives that are useless in their eyes." Winali said dejectedly.

"Okay, let's make some fun together." Yun Ye said with determination.
