Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

\'I mean, aren\'t you saying that I am weaker than the cultivators with the same cultivation as mine, because my power is from you, the System, and their power is through hard work?\'

\'If this is true… doesn\'t that mean that I am digging my own grave?\'

[Host, cultivation realms and intents are different things.]

\'Well, I know the difference, but here, one thing is common, that is, both of them were given by you.\'

[The truth is pretty simple, cultivation realms increased with the help of the system will give you the same power if you were to cultivate by yourself.]

\'So then what do you mean?\'

[ Host, the only advantage you have here is that, with the help of System, you\'re saving a lot of your time.]

[However, when it comes to Intents, like the Sword Intent, it needs you to be mentally and physically prepared. And even then, there\'s a chance that you might fail to handle your Sword Intent.]

\'Hmm … I know that much-\'

[Host, think of the Sword Intent that you get from the system to be a mystery box. You will either have the ability to control, or you won\'t.]

\'... Your words… don\'t give me enough reassurance.\'

[Host, the System won\'t give you anything that will or may harm you, after all, without the Host, the System won\'t be able to grow itself.]

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, \'You can easily find a new host, don\'t think I am a kid.\'

[Finding a host is not an easy task. Just like how you received a Sword Intent which you couldn\'t control, the hosts are also a surprise for us.]

[The System didn\'t choose a host, it was a predefined process, which neither of us had any control over. This is true for any other system out there.]

\'Doesn\'t that mean you might get weak hosts too? But I don\'t think people with systems could be weak.\'

[Host, it\'s not the power and talent that\'s the issue. These things can be controlled and improved by the systems themselves.]

[However, there\'s one thing that the system has no control over, that is - Host\'s intelligence.]

\'Huh?\'

[Over the generations and throughout many universes, there have been a lot of Systems that were very powerful, but the host was a pure idiot with a lot of potential and luck.]

\'Oh… what about now? What do you think about me? Do you think you got an intelligent host or an idiot?\'

[It is too soon to judge, you\'re too weak and haven\'t faced any big challenges that would force you into making tough decisions.]

\'But still…. What\'s the judgment till today?\' Ye Tian Yun smiled wide, ready to listen to some uplifting praises.

[Host, till today… you haven\'t shown or did something very intelligent. Everything you have done is average at most. In my opinion, it\'s your luck that has brought you here, or else, people would have already found out about your secret and many other marks and clues that you have left behind.]

\'What?\' Ye Tian Yun frowned and shook his head, \'I know I am not the most intelligent being in the universe, but I don\'t think I have done just \'average\', I feel like I have done quite a lot better than any other cultivator who could have been in my place.\'

[Host, it\'s not that you have made any stupid or impulsive decisions, the problem is, you haven\'t taken things seriously enough.]

\'What do you mean not seriously enough? Every passing second I think about my goal, my enemies, and what I should be doing next! Why would you say I am not serious about my goal?\'

[Host, I didn\'t say you aren\'t serious about your goal, what the System meant was that you aren\'t serious about the way and the plans that you make. You aren\'t taking into consideration the butterfly effect that\'s about to cause chaos in the whole Xin Kingdom.]

\'Hmm? What do you mean?\' Ye Tian Yun frowned, raising his right eyebrow in confusion, \'How in the world could anything I have done cause problems in the whole Kingdom? I haven\'t even gone out of the sect!\'

[Host, System can\'t tell you more about this, however, it does have good advice for you - always think of every possible consequence and make use of every piece of information that you have about the Lower Heavens from your informants. Not one or two, but your three simple and ignorant decisions have already caused a lot of changes in this timeline.]

\'Hm? I did something wrong? That too three times?\' Ye Tian Yun\'s eyes widened and his mouth opened in surprise, \'Woah,I had no idea! Can you at least tell me what they were? You don\'t have to tell me about the butterfly effect that it had over the timeline, just tell me which three decisions you\'re talking about.\'

[System will inform you about these when the time comes, it can\'t tell you anything more because it will need a lot of Fate Points to hide it from Heaven\'s Will. So the required Fate Points are so many that the Host won\'t be able to repay in four lifetimes at his current speed.]

Ye Tian Yun shrugged his shoulders, \'What can I do about the speed? Just look at the things that happened just within this little time before I entered this hall to cultivate.\'

\'Time seems to have slowed down when you notice that so much has happened without any break. I have no control over the plot and the problems that come towards me.\'

[...]

*Cough* \'At least, I am not knowingly creating trouble for myself.\' Ye Tian Yun changed his words as he remembered the \'three decisions\' that have changed a lot of plot for him.\'

\'Alright, this much rest should be enough, it\'s time to resume practicing Sword Domain.\'

With that thought, Ye Tian Yun got up from the ground and took the sword in his hand.

He wanted to repeat the earlier dome phenomenon and take it to the stage where he could summon it at will, even without the presence of a sword.

However, before doing anything, he needed to ask one last thing from the system.

\'How much time have I spent getting to this stage?\'

[It\'s been almost two days since you entered this hall, Host.]

\'What?\' Ye Tian Yun was quite shocked, \'Two days already? So quickly?\'

Letting out a sigh, Ye Tian Yun started lamenting, \'Isn\'t this a bit fast? Earlier it felt like the day was never coming to an end, and now, two days have passed while I was waving a sword in the air.\'

[ … ]

\'Anyways, back to the topic, I still have four full weeks before. I should have enough time to focus on my cultivation once I am done solving my problem with the Sword Domains.\'

Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun got into a fighting stance and began to practice sword moves.

Now that he was pretty close to Sword Domain, Ye Tian Yun was back into practicing the three basic sword moves - Lung, Parry, and Riposte

As he continues to increase the speed and sharpness of his Sword moves, Ye Tian Yun didn\'t forget to also slowly release Sword Intent with every move.

It was a slow process, mainly because Ye Tian Yun didn\'t wish to hurry and ruin things for himself. 

He understood that he had a low cultivation realm and controlling a Sword Domain was not going to be an easy task at this stage, thus he wanted to reform and recreate his Lightning Sword Domain as slowly and carefully as possible. 

But releasing slowly wasn\'t enough, because there would come a stage which would act like a threshold, passing that mark would be a very risky decision because if he wasn\'t careful enough, he might lose control over this Sword Domain too and history might repeat itself by him fainting due to \'overload\' of Sword Intent through his body.

Ye Tian Yun was aware of the risk, however, did he have any choice? 

No, he didn\'t, nor was there any better way to increase his cultivation faster. Thus, he continued to focus on his Sword Intent and form his Sword Domain, albeit slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, the white dome formed once again, however, this time it wasn\'t actually pure white, but rather, sizzling and crackling sparks could be seen forming throughout this screen.

Ye Tian Yun continued to practice more and as soon as the dome disappeared through the hall, he came to a halt.

Catching his breath, he resumed practicing from the very first step and once again stopped only after the dome had formed and it had gone out of the hall.

Ye Tian Yun continued to do this non-stop. Taking a slight break after every cycle, he would once again resume his practice and focus on creating the dome.

However, there was one thing that was worth noticing - every time the dome formed, it would be \'less white\' than the previous one.

The most noticeable thing in this sword domain would be the fact that the density of this sword domain would decrease, and the number of visible sparks would increase.

And soon a stage came where the \'white screen\' was replaced by crackling sparks, as if there was a shield made of lightning forming on all sides, with Ye TianYun at its center.

Seeing these changes, Ye Tian Yun couldn\'t help but smile because he was now only two steps away from forming his Lightning Sword Domain!
