But while doing all this, I forgot something. A stream of energy flowed out of my control and created a huge chaotic star, similar to my golden core. It started moving toward my other core, as if it wanted to devour it. When I saw this star, I realized it was my demon core. I had forgotten that demon beasts have demon cores while humans have golden cores; somehow, I ended up with both. I tried to stabilize it by etching a third-grade magic circle on its surface, but that only slowed it down. Then I had an idea. I let it get close to the other star, and when they were close enough, I made them revolve around each other. Just like twin stars exist in space, they would revolve around each other without colliding due to centripetal and centrifugal forces.
I think I am too smart to be a snake. After completing and stabilizing everything, I let all the remaining energy flow into my body to boost my cultivation. Once all this was done, I asked the system to show me my status and remaining notifications.
"Ding, host; before showing your status, I want to ask you something."
Vik: "Go ahead, system. Ask anything you want."
He said, "Host, tell me truthfully, are you really a human in your previous life and not some eldritch entity?"
Vik: "System, what kind of question is that? I was a genuine human in my previous life and I will always be a gentleman. I mean, a gentle snake now."
System: "Host, think about it yourself. What you did is not something a normal human or snake could do. First, you improvised techniques the system gave you, upgrading them to levels that aren't even in my database. Then you helped your disciples awaken mythical physiques that rank among the top in countless realms, and now you've awakened and created a dozen powers that could even make a pig cultivate to the immortal realm."
Vik: "I know, system. I am special, but you don't have to say it in a roundabout way. You could just praise me normally."
System: "Host, I think you misunderstand my words. Did you need me to repeat myself?"
Vik: "No, system. Just show me my remaining notifications and my status."
System: "(*_*) Whatever, host. I will show your status and remaining system notifications."
"Ding, host has awakened the Void body physique."
"Ding, host created the Quantum magic circle."
"Ding, host has created World foundation."

"Ding, showing host's status."

Evaluation: a mysterious and arrogant snake."
Looking at my status, I felt satisfied. I was much stronger than my previous self. I could feel it. If hundreds of my past self decided to attack me, I could easily defeat them. Almost everything in my status had changed to some degree: my physique, bloodline, realm, affinity; I even unlocked previously locked functions like the system mall and teaching building.
"But system, why did you give such a bad evaluation?"
System: "Because, host, you are arrogant and like to bully this innocent system. I am very scared of you."
Vik: "???? I don't understand your feelings, but for now, system, show me information about my physiques."
System: "Okay, host. I will follow your command since I have no other option than to follow an arrogant and scary snake."
I didn't understand why the system was acting strangely. Maybe it was because I didn't answer its questions well. Before I could ask it about its behavior, the system made an announcement.
"Ding, showing information about host's physique."
"1. Void body physique: This physique relates closely to the void element and has undeniable ties with the void race of outer heavens. There isn't much information about this physique, but it is believed that the bearer can devour heavens and their inhabitants. Hence, this physique is considered taboo in many realms. Anyone found to possess it will be hunted by all living beings of the world.
2. Cosmic stellar body: This is a new physique created by the mysterious snake. There is no information about this physique.
3. Quantum magic circle: This is a new type of magic circle created by the same mysterious snake, and there is no information about it.
4. Prototype world-seed foundation: This is a foundation prototype for a world, a literal world! Created by the same mysterious snake. Not much information about it exists, as anything related to worlds is blocked by heavenly dao."
