Rise of a Dungeon Lord

"Hah hah~"

"Damn system, next time give me a heads-up!"

Catching his breath, the thrust of the explosion finally died down giving him a chance to relax.

"By the way scan if there\'s any danger around here, I don\'t have any more world source to waste" said Ye Tian.

Thinking about the world source just used now, Ye Tian had a distressed look on his face.

Six as bait, and one used on the diversion.

Although he didn\'t know how much a unit of world power valued,

however considering it\'s something that can only be gotten from a world, Ye Tian reckoned its value was way high

Unfinished, those precious world sources had all been thrown away leaving only three.

Shaking his head Ye tian decided not to think much about it

After all, the more he thought about it the more he felt depressed.

Lucky for him the system had already finished scanning the surroundings thus distracting him from his current thoughts

[Host, there\'s good news and there\'s bad news]

[Which do you want to hear first?] Asked the system, obviously the results of her surgery were a hundred percent in his favour

"Tell me the good news first, at the moment I think I\'m already depressed enough"

Sighing, Ye Tian hoped the good news would be something enough to leave him ecstatic.

With that in mind, he patiently waited for the systems words

[The good news is that we\'ve left that area to a relatively safe part of the world sea]

[According to my scan now, majority of the worlds are small worlds with the highest there being a B-class creature]

"And the bad news?"

Hearing the words of the system, Although happy however Ye Tian knew it was still too soon to relax.

According to what he knew about the system, its \'bad news\' was almost always the worst of news.

And sure enough, the system\'s message directly plunged Ye Tian\'s happy mood down the drain.

[Host, you need to replenish your world power Immediately if not your core would be assimilated by the void.]

[It turns out that that explosion led to cracks in it, thus resulting in this state.]

World power….

Listening to the system\'s words, although Ye Tian knew it was going to be important, but he didn\'t expect its effects to be shown so soon.

Hearing his life was now dependent on it, he more and more regretted spending all those back then

Who knows, maybe with a bit of haggling the system might have reduced the about it took

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Now unable to find a way to get more, Ye Tian couldn\'t only wait for the last bit of world power within him to drain before being assimilated.

[Calm down host, Although things seem bad but there\'s still a way out.]

[Currently there are two ways to resist the erosion]

[One, you gather up enough world power and create the world.]

[Starting from the lowest small world, they\'re enough to resist the void erosion and other attacks through their world barrier ]

[Two, you plunder the world source and core from other worlds and forcefully upgrade or patch your core depending on the available source.]

Listening to the systems two words, Ye Tian couldn\'t help but begin to get angry

"System, what do you mean! isn\'t this the same as saying nothing?"

Obviously his available world power wasn\'t enough to create the world

Adding to the fact that he doesn\'t even have a body, how was Ye Tian going to plunder from other worlds.

However, just when Ye Tian was about to lash out, the system suddenly spoke to him again

[Relax host although the first option isn\'t possible at the moment, the second option more than is.]

[All you need to do is use your core splitting ability and a unit of world power]

Hearing the words of the system, Ye Tian completely lost it

"Damn system! Currently I\'m in the state because of lack of world power, yet you want me to give more?"

"Impossible!"

Saying this Ye Tian made up his mind, obviously it seems this system is the kind that wants to kill its hosts

[ Calm down host, trust me it\'s your only way out]

[If not, could it be that you want to float around here till you\'re completely assimilated?]

Listening to the system\'s words, Ye Tian kept silent.

In fact, he to knew that there wasn\'t much of a choice for him, either die now or sooner no other options

If it wasn\'t for the fact that he just needed to vent and the system was currently the best option, he would have agreed Immediately

So taking a few minutes to calm down, Ye Tian finally agreed to the systems idea

"I agree, however you need to explain the whole plan step by step."

"This time let me know what\'s going to happen before it does."

Thinking back to the unexpected explosion that led to this situation, Ye Tian sighed.

Fortunately this time the system agreed to all his terms

[Sure thing!]

[Host, you\'ll need to use the core splitting ability to split a small part of yourself]

[After that, wrap it in a unit of world power]

[Once that\'s done, all we have to do is send it into one of the neighbouring small worlds and use it as a means to steal from it]

[Who knows, maybe the host can successfully conquer it and drain it completely of its world source once it\'s over]

[By then you\'d have surplus, no longer worrying about putting your life in danger]

Hearing this, Ye Tian fell silent.

No matter how much of an imagination he had as a child, Ye Tian never once Imagined himself being a world invader.

"System, what happens when the world source of a world is completely drained?" Asked Ye Tian

Although he already knew the answer,

However, maybe it was because of his conscience or something else, but Ye Tian still wanted to hear the system words.

And unfortunately for him, the system told him the answer he least wanted to hear.

[Host I\'m sure you\'ve guessed it, but just like you once the source is exhausted it\'ll become assimilated by the surrounding void]

[Meaning if you do this, the deaths of billions of lives will be on your hands]

Listening to the end result, Ye Tian fell silent as a bit of hesitation started to well up within him.
