Xia Zhenxue's hand passed through the blue translucent display before her.
"What this…" she murmured.
"It is an Employee Identification Card, and it will only be visible to the members of the Endless Wealth Company. You can open and close it just by thinking, Go try it," Hengsheng explained.
Xia Zhenxue nodded and thought about closing the display. Instantly, it disappeared.
When she thought about opening it, it instantly showed itself before her.
She was amazed and could not understand how it worked; she did not sense any flicker of spiritual qi at all.
"What is it about the section under my name?" Xia Zhenxue asked.
"There are people waiting to teach you about this ID—and how the company works. Go ask them when you're there. What else do you want to ask before I send you off?" Hengsheng said.
Xia Zhenxue thought for a second before she asked.
"What is your name?" Xia Zhenxue asked. She did not have a chance to know the other side's name.
"Ah, how could I forget this… I am Lan Hengsheng, you may call me the Chairman," Hengsheng said with a smile.
Xia Zhenxue nodded, then recalled the name of the director she fought; it was the same surname, she assumed they were related, maybe a clan?
"Time's up. I will send you off, but before I do, I will advise you to take your time, use your Wealth Points wisely to reestablish your cultivation base before it's too late…" Hengsheng said and waved his hand, sending the woman to the Endless Wealth Company headquarters at South Sea Gulf City.
When Xia Zhenzue had gone, the throne room was left with only Hengsheng himself.
Woosh
Hengsheng appears at his cultivation ground. This place has changed since he broke through to the True Body Realm.
At the center of the cultivation ground appeared a light-colored stone tablet, placed vertically against the floor. Its surface was filled with cracks, and it periodically emitted a faint glow of Dao Aura.
This is the Dao Monument, which he stole from the shattered realm. His plan is half successful; he did retrieve it from the void along with the spiritual qi vein beneath it, but the Dao Monument is broken—it is half broken, to be accurate.
This was an expected result for him since the Dao Monument is linked to the entire realm; there is no way it would still be intact after the realm itself is shattered.
The result of being half broken is that it no longer has a Dao Field that forms around the Dao Monument; there is also no Dao Rhythm emitted from the tablet.
The Dao Essence dwelling within the tablet is greatly damaged and cannot be used to comprehend easily like a complete Dao Monument—still, it is better than none.
The true benefit of this broken Dao Monument for Hengsheng is that it still allows the Spiritual Qi Vein to produce the Divine Stone, although the production rate is poor.
He succeeded in having his own Divine Stone resource point, and later, when he had more understanding of the Dao, he believed he could restore the Dao Monument as a whole.
Hengsheng sat on the old cultivation mat that followed him from the first day of cultivation, and closed his eyes.
Hengsheng's consciousness is drawn deep inside his Spiritual Symbol.
Hengsheng's gaze moved across the system world.
Everything had been progressing well since the last time he stepped inside several months ago, when he came inside to establish the Tower World.
"Master!!!" The high-pitched voice of a little girl rang across the space before a small human figure appeared before Hengsheng, rushed forward, and hugged his waist.
"Prim!" Hengsheng picked her up, tickling her. This made her laugh lightly.
This little girl is Prim, the Primordial Tower Spirit, the third system race; she is not a human form system race like Hunter.
Her appearance now is her human disguise, not a real body, Her real body is the colossal tower located above the Origin Source.
She appeared as a little girl around 7 years old, dressed in an old Eastern costume like an ancient princess. She also wore a very tall hat that resembled the Primordial Tower.
This girl was currently his most favored system race, since she made him a lot of money, although she still could not fully form her system concept and ability. But her potential had proven to be immense.
He was playing with her while also looking at the system panel to see the progress of the Primordial Tower System.
Ding!

System Record Generation Rate: ~254,000 System Points / Day
Hengsheng smirked. The System Record Generation Rate had once again gone up. It grew day by day with the growth of the system world, feeding Hengsheng with an endless amount of System Points every day.
"Master's face became ugly again!" Prim said while laughing innocently.
"How could a face this handsome ever be ugly? "Hengsheng smirked.
"Master's a narcissist!" Prim giggled.
…
"How is the Tower World going?" Hengsheng asked.
"Great! The challengers work really hard to climb the tower!" Prim proudly said.
The Tower World was the world inside the Primordial Tower, which consists of many floors, each of which is its own world.
It was a place where the challenger—mortal who decided to walk the path of power would come, climb the tower, to possess the power of God!
That is the concept of the Tower World.
Hengsheng created this place with the idea of helping all system races, which would ultimately benefit him in the form of System Points.
First, this helps Prim complete her system concept by finding and assimilating a compatible System Record, which is created within the Tower World through its people, stories, and myths.
Second, helping Hunter spread his Ultimate Leveling Power System.
The matter about spreading Hunter's system had been long decided by both Hengsheng and Hunter that they would not install the Leveling System into the System World because it would directly encourage all beings in the System World to walk on the path of conflict.
The chaos and violence will surely be widespread throughout, which was not what Hengsheng desired.
He didn't want to become an evil god who made everyone kill each other only for his own benefit.
When Hunter's [Ultimate Leveling Power System Framework: Version 3.0] was completed a year ago, he decided to begin his big project.
He first start with installed the leveling system on his first 100 followers, which were the Lan Clan and Wang Clan.
Things went smoothly—everyone powered up.
However, when he was about to install the system for his mortal employees, intending to arm them with power that could rival cultivators, the heavens roared, causing the sky above the entire realm to turn dark.
Hengsheng could sense that the Heavenly Dao had become extremely angry. He sensed its intention: it would directly strike him if he dared to defy it.
This time, Hengsheng knew he had stepped on a taboo.
Then Hengsheng received a warning—it turned out that the power systems other than cultivation were banned.
The Heavenly Dao only allowed him and his followers to possess such an additional power system, but it did not permit them to be widespread, especially for mortals.
Hengsheng didn't know why the Heavenly Dao was so unfair toward mortals, but he was not in a position to question it. He could only obey.
So, his idea of creating a mortal army with the leveling system officially ended before it even started.
For Hunter's system concept to grow, Hengsheng had to find a place to spread the leveling system.
The Tower World had become an ideal place for that.
Every challenger who entered the Tower World would start on the first floor with the leveling system installed as their power system.
Lastly, for Blue, having more things to manage was already considered a reward in itself.
Win-win situation for all of us—no, for everyone.
…
"Prim, I'll go find Yunsu. Do you want to go with me?" Hengsheng asked.
"Lady Yunsu is here?! I want to see her!" Prim cheerfully agreed.
Hengsheng brought himself and the little girl across the wide distance, instantly reaching the Cat Planet, then arriving at the God Queen Palace, where Yunsu lay on the majestic throne.
"Meow?" Yunsu noticed Hengsheng's presence. She quickly jumped down and rubbed her body against his leg, trying to please him while observing his expression.
She knew she had messed up this time. She lost control when she sensed the aromatic scent coming from the woman with the bloodline of the Divine Bird—she could not resist the urge of her primal instinct.
"So you know your mistake. You made me look bad, you know," Hengsheng said as he picked Yunsu up and handed her to Prim.
"Lady Yunsu, so cute!" Prim rubbed her head against the cat's belly. Yunsu felt quite uncomfortable but did not resist, considering this her punishment for the misbehavior.
