[Hey host, can you please look at the items that are still here?]


    The system, which had been quiet, suddenly spoke, surprising Xu Qianghua, who was still thinking about how to make more money.


    ''Hey system, why are you talking about those rusted items?'' Xu Qianghuained, recalling the time-space stone.


    When he first saw those items, he thought they were something useful, but when he tried to inject his spiritual energy into them, they rejected it. So he left them in the system space, to be used as paperweights or throwing stones if needed.


    "But now that I think about it, was the space-time stone simr to the ones left in the system space?" mused Xu Qianghua.


    ''System, why are you asking me to check them? Did they also have some kind of seal that came undone due to the space-time storm?''


    [Yes, a few of them can be viewed now] the system answered.


    ''Oh, let''s see what they are that needed to be sealed'' Xu Qianghua thought as he opened the system space to view the unsealed items.


    The first item he saw was a Chinese tower. When he checked, the system disyed its information:


    Scripture Tower (Chaos):


    Description: Once a well-known tower, it lost most of its power due to a war long ago and returned to its initial level to preserve itself. Most of its functions are lost due to the erosion of time but can be restored with the right materials.


    As he read the description, Xu Qianghua first became confused and then excited.


    ''Hey system, why is there an item for family-style yers?'' Xu Qianghua asked.


    In the game Immortal Odyssey: Paths of Destiny, yers could choose to be adventurer yers or family-style yers. Adventurer yers had more freedom, often traveling as nomads, but they usuallycked strong backgrounds, which were important in a world ruled by strength and connections.


    Family-style yers, on the other hand, were bound by the families they created, which provided support but required significant resources, often involving real money, to grow.


    In hisst life, Xu Qianghua had seen a news post about someone spending billions of Lumina on the game. Lumina was a digital currency managed by the United Nations treasury, secure and universally epted, ensuring a stable and fair economic system.


    The article discussed how someone spent an enormous amount on a game that had no prior advertising, which intrigued many, including Xu Qianghua. That yerter became one of the biggest forces after the game merged with real life, bing a major decision-maker.


    In hisst life, Xu Qianghua didn''t invest heavily in the game, thinking it would die off like others. As a result, he chose to be an adventurer. However, he now realized the potential benefits of ying as a family-style yer.


    [Yes host, it seems that the cave belonged to someone who was a family-style yer] the system said.


    [But the quality of these items is far higher than anything we knew of in the past life. From my analysis, these items might have belonged to one of the top 100 civilizations from the void list.]


    ''What?'' Xu Qianghua shouted in his mind. ''Are you telling me that the secret realm was rted to one of those races?''


    [Yes, I believe so, host] the system responded.


    ''I see, then that changes my ns'' Xu Qianghua thought, looking at the tower and the other items.


    ''Okay, let''s see the other items and make a n to get a better head start.''


    The second item was a miniature mountain with cracks.


    Spirit Beast Mountain (Chaos):


    Description: Once a mythical mountain where Beast gods resided, it lost most of its power due to a war. It needs special materials to function again.


    ''Hey system, why are the items broken and needing repairs before use? And what kind of war can damage a chaos-grade item?'' Xu Qianghua was confused.


    [I don''t know, host,] the system replied.


    [I was not born in this universe, but in the original universe you traveled from.]


    [So I do not know about any wars that might have happened before the game came to this.]


    ''Right, you were grabbed by me when my soul was getting sucked into this universe'' Xu Qianghua recalled from a previous conversation with his system.


    ''It''s still funny to think that a spiritual being, just born, was sucked into a different universe and had to bind to my soul to survive. And to add to the irony, you had to choose to be a system that helps its host.''


    [Yes, it is funny.]


    [But I think that was for the best,] the system continued.


    [If I hadn''t been grabbed by you, I would have died because I was a special spiritual soul that was against thews of that universe.]


    [I would have been annihted by the will of the universe or enved by it, bing a mindless creature.]
