GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS

Patrick slashed the wooden sword and caused the reality of the broken world to break into pieces; the space above the broken world shattered, and the timeline severed from the cosmic time flow.

The only people to remain were Patrick, Athena, and Anna; the two ladies were unaffected by the reality distortion as they were goddesses and infinite beings. Anna looked at the empty void the broken world once occupied and spoke to Athena calmly.

"Patrick seems to be enjoying himself, but I thought he wanted us to use weak powers and techniques; blah, what a hypocrite."

Anna mocked and continued drinking her wine as Athena spoke to Patrick.

"My Love, I remember a certain someone who said something about using weak techniques and going easy!"

Patrick floated in the void as he heard Athena and Anna speak; he held his left hand to his face as he also knew he was the one talking about using weak powers and going easy, but now he has broken the rule.

"Sigh, you can't blame me; this armor is the weakest that's in my item space. Even when I tried to make anything weaker than this for my personal use, it registers not qualified item."

Patrick sighed as he turned and answered Athena. He thought of something as he spoke to Grace.

"Grace, I don't want to use infinite knowledge, so tell me why I can't wear anything weaker than this spartan God armor."

"Master, due to your ability of 'Infinite/Eternal Transcendence,' you are constantly transcending yourself infinitely every second, and that also includes your items and beasts. Based on the fact that you exist out of the universal cosmic conception, you are nothingness."

Patrick heard Graces' reply as he held a hand to his face with a sigh expression; he asked Grace to show him the skill status of the mentioned ability.

[Ability: Eternal/Absolute/Selective Transcendence; Passive: Transcends endlessly into the Great Infinite Above.]

[Sub-abilities: ∞]

(Search for 'eternal transcendence' for the sub-abilities.)

Patrick saw the description as he sighed again. He truly was helpless when he saw passive ability status, which means he couldn't turn it off. He slowly descended to Athena and Anna as he spoke with an awkward smile.

"Well, I guess we have to go slowly with things now."

Athena and Anna rolled their eyes as they already knew what was about to happen.

"Grace, cancel combat mode."

The spartan God armor disappeared as Patrick returned to the golden robe he wore before; he watched the void as the destroyed reality of the broken world began reforming in a matter of seconds.

The three watched as time-reversed when Patrick was on the stage with Dong Pao. The killed cultivators and experts were all brought alive and returned to how everything was before Doing Pao died from Patrick's pressure.

(Present restored timeline)

The referee called Patrick's name on the stage as he and Dong Pao prepared for combat.

"So you are the dark horse everyone wants to see fight, huh? Well, this is your chance to give up before I embarrass you in front of your women. After, they will be mine, and I can do whatever I please."

Dong Pao finished his sentence he could not finish before and had a mocking look at Patrick.

Patrick walked to Dong Pao as he already knew what happened when he used his weakest qi pressure to suppress Dong Pao.

Everyone was confused when they saw the dark horse. They expected Patrick to use his abilities or cultivation techniques, but he walked across the platform.

The emperor of the Ju empire sat on his throne as he squinted his eyes to see if Patrick would use his body cultivation technique. The black-robed man had only received the messenger's information about Anna and the Shi family on the stands below the emperor. Patrick's and Athena's details remained a mystery to him.

On the stage, Dong Pao saw Patrick walking towards him, not bothered that closing distance would be disadvantageous against him the least. Dong Pao smirked and released his spirit, awakening realm qi pressure on Patrick, but to everyone's surprise, Patrick was not restrained by even a step as he continued walking unhurriedly.

Dong Pao, noticing that his suppression didn't work, attacked using his cultivation technique.

The Dong family practices the beast transformation technique that allows them to transform into their selected beasts while gaining super reflexes and attack speed and boosts their qi recovering speed.

"Is Dong Pao going to use the Dong family's beast transformation technique?"

"He's going to use it. Can't you see his stance?"

"Hey, shut up; I am trying to focus on the battle."

There was a commotion on the stands as people began arguing. Many were interested in what Patrick would use to counter Dong Pao.

Dong Pao transformed into a humanoid tiger with large claws and fierce fangs; he looked at Patrick like prey waiting to be slaughtered. He flashed with speed as only a blur could be seen.

Patrick continued walking as Dong Pao attacked him; Dong Pao flashed behind Patrick with a smile, thinking he won when it came to speed. He slashed his tiger claws at Patrick's back, but what happened next shocked him.

The Patrick that Dong Pao slashed at dissipated like the wind; the referee and everyone else was left speechless. Dong Pao turned and looked behind to see if Patrick also used speed, but Patrick wasn't behind him, or more to say, he wasn't on the platform at all.

"You think speed is something you can challenge me with? You are nothing but a tiny soul conceptualized to exist in a physical vessel."

Patrick's voice rang out, but he remained unseen.

"Stop hiding and show yourself, coward."

Dong Pao shouted as his eyes were moving fast to see where Patrick's voice was coming from; his tiger claws were alert and ready to attack the moment Patrick revealed himself.

"Am right here, fool."

Patrick's figure slowly appeared behind Dong Pao with his hands behind his back; Dong Pao attacked, but Patrick wasn't there anymore. In front of Dong Pao, Patrick stood, hands behind his back as he spoke casually in front of Dong Pao.

"That's enough playing for you; now get off the stage."

BOOM!

As if a force acted based on the words, Dong Pao was sent off the stage as Patrick uttered; he crashed into the walls of the stands spitting out mouthfuls of blood and passed out. The referee saw what happened and was left speechless; he turned and looked at what happened to Dong Pao only to find him knocked out cold; he unconsciously raised his hand and declared Patrick the winner.

Above the higher stands, the Ju emperor saw what happened as he gripped his throne with force, destroying the handle. He stood up; his eyes widened as he glared at Patrick intensifying his reason to make Patrick the imperial disciple of the Ju empire.

'This boy must be more powerful than he appears; he must have used a spirit king technique to attack that kid from the stage without using physical force.'

The Ju emperor thought, he began creating reasons and probabilities that make sense from a cultivator's perspective. If he truly gets the real concept from a scientific explanation, he won't even think of Patrick's methods.

Below the stand of the emperor, the dark-robed man from the devil sect had a contemplating look after what happened on the fighting platform; his curiosity grew even more as he sent a shadow to connect with Patrick's and spy on him later. The shadow left the man unnoticed by the other sect representatives.

Patrick slowly suspended in the air as he moved from the stage. He didn't pay any attention to the other participants but continued to Athena and Anna. Far from the platform, Athena and Anna saw Patrick floating towards them with his hands behind his back; they saw the devilishly handsome husband they had as they smiled.

The crowd, which was left speechless, we're unable to take their eyes away from Patrick. From the beginning of the fight to the end, a Qi condensation realm took only fifteen seconds to defeat a spirit awakening realm cultivator.

The representative from the Sunblaze Sect was stroking his long grey beard as he spoke to a member standing beside him; the member standing was a bulky man with a long sword on his back.

"This kid will make a promising future for our sect if we recruit him."

"Recruit him will be the issue."

The bulky man replied.

Next fight. The host called for the next combatants as the competition continued; many didn't care about the other fights, especially after they had seen Patrick's methods.

The competition continued until ten candidates remained; the host called Patrick and Lou Yan to the stage.

Lou Yan, although arrogant, has seen Patrick's strength; she knows she is not even close in comparison. After receiving a pill from her mother, Lou Yan went to the stage, who helped her replenish her qi.

After Patrick left the stage, he noticed the shadow of the dark-robed man from the devil sect; he didn't cancel it even after Grace wanted to destroy it completely along with the man.

Patrick rose between his wives as he went to the stage; he saw Lou Yan and her confident stance, he smiled as he spoke.

"Why are you so tense? Relax."

Lou Yan heard the devilishly charming voice she had never heard in her life as she relaxed completely; she felt as if something was telling her to submit to this person and don't fight at all.

Lou Yan saw Patrick standing opposite her with his hands behind him, wearing magnificent robes and boots with ponytailed silver hair and golden eyes.

"You seem bullied; here, take this pill and get yourself in a fair cultivation state."

Patrick held his palm, and a white pill appeared from it and made it float towards Lou Yan. The pill floated in front of Lou Yan as she had a confused and skeptical expression.

The crowd burst into commotion when they saw Patrick form a pill in his palm.

"OMG, did you guys see that? He made a pill without using alchemy ingredients or furnace; I must be dreaming."

"Isn't that the ultimate stage of an alchemist? To make a pill without a furnace?."

"Fool, even the master alchemists needed ingredients to make a pill, not just from thin air."

"You guys are talking about the method he used and forgot the most important thing; it is that Alex is not only a martial cultivator, but he is also an alchemist."

A group of people argued about Patrick's methods when the last man pointed out the main factor to Patrick is a genius.

All the Sect representatives stood from their seats, including the family powerhouses; they all looked at each other making sure one doesn't make a move to ask Patrick, but then they felt a slight Qi pressure from above them only to see Ju Han with a serious expression while grabbing his throne with a full force almost breaking the other remaining handle.

They understood that the emperor had eyes on Patrick, and it won't be easy to approach Patrick. But Jiang Shi from the Heavenly Rain Sect only turned his head slightly to notice the emperor's Qi pressure; he smirked and was the first to sit, followed by the others.

Lou Min saw how Lou Yan looked at Patrick; her daughter never looked at any other boys like that; this was her first time displaying such an expression. She sent a Qi message to Lou Yan, warning her.

"Yan'er, do your best not to anger such a person, take the pill; he must be a master grade alchemist, don't worry, no one can harm you when I am here."

Lou Yan looked at the pill floating in front of her when she suddenly received her mother's message. She recollected herself as she stretched her hand, taking the pill and throwing it in her mouth with no hesitation.

BOOOOOM!

The next moment after taking the pill, Lou Yan's body exploded with the power which caused where she stood on the stage to shatter into pieces, sending the host who was below to platform meters away from the stage.
