"No, you are right, system. I am confused. I am too inexperienced. I haven't gotten social beating."
Eon clenched his fist and muttered.
"It's a good thing I have the soul of 21st-century youth."
He patted his heart and said.
"This heart chases freedom. To be free is to be strong. I need to get stronger than my family."
"Why should I just take my family as an imaginary enemy? Although I didn't go through a struggle to find love from my parents, they are still my parents."
"I don't need to find love. I just need to give them a little beating if they go against me."
"My main enemy is the one behind the formation. The one who is holding the other side of our soul."
"The emperor is supposed to be the peak of this world."
He released a deep breath and continued.
"But till now, I didn't even think how someone was able to influence an Emperor and even his lifespan without raising any suspicion."
"I can't think of anything. Although I have seen those fictional characters treating dimensions as a bag they could hold, I still haven't faced anyone like that."
"But the fact that Emperors are the strongest in this world isn't a lie. There isn't a realm above Ninth Grade."
"Or maybe there is, but we haven't found it."
He looked at the text panel and said.
"I will do it. I will find the stronger enemy and defeat him. Before this, I just wanted to escape this place."
"Now, I want to change the fate of my family, challenge the one who played with our family like puppets, and hopefully find true love."
"Tyler the Enforcer, bless me!"
[Since the Host's belief has been strengthened, would you like to continue with the MMR System's introduction?]
"Of course!"
[MMR System has three basic functions: World Travel, Store, Reward]
[World Travel allows Host to create a soul clone that is directly connected to Host's main soul.]
Suddenly, Eon's expression distorted.
"Wait a minute, if you do that, wouldn't it give more control to that person? After all, my soul is still connected to that controller."
[Worry not, Host! Your soul is almost divided. A part of your soul is indeed connected to that creature, but until your death, it will not fall into his hands.]
Eon sighed in relief.
"That's good! I was worried for a second."
[First Word Travel will be free, but after that, each World Travel costs Host One Million MC.]
[Store holds items of a certain universe that can be bought with MC. Reward is based on certain achievements of the Host, and it will be in the form of MC.]
Hearing that, Eon touched his chin and said.
"So, it's basically a quest and reward function, except there is no time limit or urgency."
"That's quite good! So, how do you clone my soul?"
[Cloning requires the Host to create a Nascent Soul]
Hearing that, Eon's expression twitched.
"Sorry, System! But we are not in a traditional cultivation world. This is the world of Warlocks."
[The process of forming Nascent Soul is similar yet different from the Soul Clone Technique. Please, sit down!]
Eon nodded and sat cross-legged.
'No wonder it brought my body to this place. So, it needs me to go through another Soul Clone Technique.'
When he thought about the Soul Clone Technique, his body shivered for a moment.
'Should I go back and bring in some painkillers? Wait, do painkillers even work on the soul?'
A series of new pieces of information entered his brain, putting him in a state of shock.
As he started reviewing this information, he realized the connection between Soul Clone and Nascent Soul.
Both required a part of his soul, except Nascent Soul was created using the combination of mana and soul.
By doing so, instead of using soul, the mana was transformed into the soul energy that was used to condense soul energy.
During the process, the memories of the parts of the soul were passed into mana, which gave his soul energy, all the memories, and even the power of his cultivation.
It turned out the Ninth Grade Mana was so massively overpowered that if it were turned into soul energy, it could bear one-third of his strength.
Although he was the weakest Emperor.
He was still an Emperor. He had a collection of several mana arts and control over an insane level of mana.
Without much hesitation, he started following the instruction on his mind alongside the understanding of the Soul Clone Technique to create a Nascent Soul.
The process wasn't as painless as he imagined. In fact, it was exactly the opposite of painless.
It was like scraping every part of his skin one by one.
The process of turning his mana into soul energy was similar to washing a month old underwear and using that water for fertilization.
It needed to be washed again and again and again. Mana was water plus soap, while soul was underwear.
By washing the soul several hundred times, the soul would get weaker, but it wouldn't lose any part.
That's why this was fundamentally different. Mana was an energy that could give life to anything.
So when the soul was constantly washed by mana, the mana would merge with small particles of the soul.
Thus, producing soul energy that was necessary to create the Nascent Soul. And since this process would scrap off the soul parts, the memories came along.
He wasn't sure how long the process took, but eventually, he managed to condense a small soul body.
"Damn! It looks like I had a baby with myself."
Looking at the boy who looked exactly like him, except his body was slightly white with a golden tone, he was stunned.
"So, does it have its own consciousness?"
Eon asked himself as he connected his mind with the Nascent Soul.
It turned out he didn't. The Nascent Soul was created in a way that it could leave the control of the Nascent Soul.
But it would only work if he gave that order.
And if he died, this Nascent Soul would still be able to survive as him.
So, this was basically a clone.
[Would you like to start the World Travel?]
A notification box appeared in front of him.
Eon slowly stood up, but he felt his body weaken a bit.
He closed his eyes for a moment and analyzed his body's condition. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
"So, I have not gotten weaker, but due to the damage my soul sustains, I need some time to recover?"
"That's quite cool. At least, it's better than having my soul split into thirty-five different parts and enter different worlds."
"That's thirty-five personalities in one body. While core personalities might be similar, they will definitely have a split personality once merged."
"Unlike my way, where Nascent Soul is basically me with extra memories and power."
"That being said, this also has one major disadvantage. Wait, is it even a disadvantage?"
He thought for a moment and nodded.
"Yep! It's a disadvantage. I'd better make sure my clone doesn't go around having more women."
He looked at Nascent Soul and spoke while giving him the order to activate himself.
"Repeat after me!"
Nascent Soul nodded.
"I have fucked more than hundreds of women."
"I have fucked more than hundreds of women."
"I want to find true love."
"I want to find true love."
"But only the real body should find true love. So, I, clone, will not fall in love with anyone."
"But, only the real body should find true love. So, I, clone, will not fall in love with anyone."
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Alright, you can stop repeating me."
"Alright, you can stop repeating me."
When he heard that, Eon's lips twitched. He immediately gave the order to deactivate the clone.
"With this reassurance, my clone wouldn't try to find love. So, let's start!"
He clicked on [Yes].
The next moment, a blue gate appeared in front of him. This gate had a mysterious, blue spiraling background.
Seeing this, he activated his Nascent Soul once again and said.
"Good luck!"
"Thanks! Bye, Main Body!"
Nascent Soul nodded and walked towards the gate. Because he was half Eon's size, he looked quite small in front of the gate.
The next moment, he jumped into the gate and disappeared.
Seeing this, Eon sighed in relief.
"System, is there a way to check his progress?"
[Yes, but each conversation costs 100MC. Only after conquering the world, Host can reclaim the Nascent Soul and return to that world.]
"That's good! Now, how do I return to my room?"
[Host, this is called System Subspace. You can just enter and exit this place with a single thought.]
Eon nodded and closed his eyes.
The next moment, he opened his eyes and found himself in his room. Except, he wasn't alone.
A woman stared into his eyes and asked.
"What's with this smell?"
As the smell entered his nostrils, he instinctively replied.
"I farted."
