The man with the black sash that had just appeared suddenly had a sense of shock as his expression changed. 

"You know my mother?" he asked. 

Ning was a little surprised too. It had been many years and he barely remembered Freya. The most he remembered was just her name. Even her facial features were distant to him now. 

He had come here solely to entertain his last bit of nostalgia. 

"Are you Freya's son?" he asked. 

"Yes, Sect Leader Freya was my mother," he said with a hint of sadness.

"… was?" Ning asked, clearly surprised. 

"Yes. Mother died over 10 years ago, during one of the many beast hoard invasions," the son said. 

"I see… my condolences." 

Ning talked with the kid for a little longer and then made him take him to her grave. 

They walked into a snow-filled ground, will headstones barely visible due to the snow. Ning followed at the son brought him to a particular headstone. 

Ning squatted in front of the headstone and clear away the snow on top of it. He thought of something to say… but nothing came to mind. 

He was sad, but not that much; He barely even knew her. He sat there for a while and then asked, "are the beasts a big problem still?" 

"Not really, but I believe they will be sometime very soon," the son said. 

"I see… what's your name?" he asked. 

"Oh, it's Burald," he said. 

"Burald… your mother was the first and last person I spoke to in this continent. We don't have any friendship really; I only remember her a little. Haha, she was the reason I got to see snow at that time too. I wonder how long it would have taken me otherwise. I might have even been stuck in your treasury forever," Ning said. 

Burald was getting confused. Snow? Treasury? What did he mean?

Ning then took out a bunch of books and handed them to him. "Take these and go prepare. Next time, destroy those damn beasts," Ning said. 

Then, he flew away. 

Burald didn't know what to do. Ning just came and went as he pleased, leaving him with a hoard of books. 

He looked down on the books to see what they were and was quickly surprised. "This!" he exclaimed. The books he had been given were all high-tier books that consisted of cultivation methods and techniques that would be truly useful to the many people out there. 

And the man just gave it away like that. Burald immediately bowed in the direction Ning went and shouted out his thanks. 

Ning however, was too far away to listen to anything. He started wandering the vast southern continent. He went to different cities, stayed around for a while, then went to some other places. 

All the while, he continuously absorbed energy and collected it as much as he could. He made sure to use it as little as possible, but there were times where he just had to use them. There were no alternatives. 

At the same time, he also cultivated and increased his cultivation until he crossed the Golden Core threshold. 

Years went by as he roamed the entire Southern Continent. He hadn't even done that for the Northern Continent. He saw cities that were about as big as the country he was born in but had more people than the entire earth. 

He saw cities set on land that was hovering on top of another city. He saw an entire tribe of people who had never been discovered due to them living in a secret realm. He even visited the glacier that was at the southern pole of the planet where he had first appeared. 

During all of these times, he stopped around to help a lot of people, and harm people that he thought deserved it. These were simpler times for him and he lived a carefree life. 

One day, as he was eating food with a friend he had made a few days ago, his system gave a very… unusual notification. 





Ning was surprised, and so he stopped talking. 

"What's the matter, Brother Ning?" the other person asked. The man was a strong Golden Core cultivator of these lands. 

"Oh, sorry. It's nothing," Ning said. 

'Yes, give me the changes,' He said internally. He was surprised that the Creator even responded to his suggestions at all. 

'Or maybe it's not just me. There are so many other immortal beings like me. Maybe they send information too,' he thought. 

He talked to the person in front of him normally, but on the inside, he was reading the notifications that were passed along to him. 



'Oh good. I asked for this one. I don't know how well it will help me though now. I've already learned to reign in my emotions, even the most negative ones,' Ning thought.



Ning nearly facepalmed himself to laugh. 'Somebody must've had a really bad experience with the system doing exactly what they were told to do. Haha, I would have made that suggestion too at the time if I had remembered it,' Ning thought. 

'Still… it only says 'try', so I don't even know how effective that would be,' he thought.



Ning had to give this change a little thought but realized that in the long run, this was a much better chance. 'Now I won't waste a few days of absorption every year or so. While that doesn't sound like a lot, it will help me tremendously considering how long I'll live,' he thought. 



'Oh, have there been cases where people haven't been able to leave places? Where could it be?' he wondered. 









'Hmm, I can live with that I guess,' Ning thought. It had been a while since he had used these functions, so he was fine with it.







'I see. I will be sure to do that,' Ning said. He certainly understood what the system was saying; Living alone was a curse once enough time passed. People needed human interaction to grow and remain sane. 

He remembered the news of killers back on earth who made the news. Every time, these people were loners, someone who didn't have friends or family they contacted regularly. 

Ning didn't want that to happen to himself. 'I should be fine. If it ever comes to that, I will just shut down the system,' he thought. 

'Alright system, make the changes,' Ning said.
