Godly Otaku System - 17 Three becomes One
While Zhen Shi was cooly walking away after defeating the heavy metal singing Batsy, a series of notifications rang out in his mind.

Ding!
Congratulations to the user for reaching the Soul Formation Stage.
At the same time, sudden changes started to occur within Zhen Shi’s dantian. A white formless energy materialized within it, slowly forming a small figure identical to Zhen Shi meditating in a cross-legged position. This was the formation of the soul!
In most ordinary practitioners the dantian would contain their formed soul. In that instance, the formless soul is materialized into a tangible form similar to a second body for a cultivator, greatly assisting in cultivation.
However, Zhen Shi’s dantian already contained a planetal skeleton formed from the combination of the tetra elemental spiritual roots within a mass of primordial chaos. As such this formed soul merged with the planetal skeleton and disappeared within it. Along with this, the vague shadow of the bow could be seen in the background. This time however Zhen Shi was unable to observe anything related to Creation.
The absorption of the soul caused a strange sheen to appear on the surface of the planetal skeleton, as if the impurities within it were removed and it received a spirit. Finally, it was no longer a skeleton and an actual planet! A very small figure of a man similar to Zhen Shi appeared within the planet. This was his soul spirit! Ordinary cultivator souls are placed within the dantian and are capable of doing nothing besides cultivating and observing the body. However, Zhen Shi’s soul was formed into the planet, allowing him to live a second life within there.
Holy Shiet! I feel as if there are two of me.
Hmm… compared to ordinary souls mine is capable of moving around within this planet. To maximize profit I’ll have this ‘soul me’ explore the planet while cultivating within the mountains. Maybe I could even build houses and buildings within when I’m bored!
Now with the cultivation advancement complete, the system continued its notifications.
Ding!
Congratulations to the user for earning an Easy life chest for cultivation advancement.
FUCK! I now already have two chests.! Better open them fast before I get pushed into a situation where I am supposed to get more chests, but don’t because a ‘certain system’ is too stingy to keep more than one in the inventory…
System: “…”
“System open up the useful skill chest,” he thought mentally.
Ding!
Congratulations to the user for gaining the .
“Oh? It will indeed be a ‘useful skill’. What is a system without an appraisal skill? System, I’m surprised it took this long to actually get it….”
Ding!
Odin’s Missing eye: Titanium Tier Appraisal skill. Will not make the user omniscient. The eye allows the user to notice aberrations or unique points of various items enabling the user to make calculative decisions based on the user’s knowledge.
Crap! It’s a tier better than but I have to ‘know’ to ‘appraise’? Fuck looks like I’ll have to hit the books for a while.
Momentarily ignoring it, “System, open the Easy Life chest.”
Ding!
Congratulations to the user for obtaining “An Introduction to Materials and Item Manufacture for Dummies” skill book.
NANI DA FUCK!
Haha, system you thought I’ll get mad at this didn’t you? But did you realize you are the one who gave me this? Since you had it in the first place…. who was the dummy first? But… this might make the appraisal skill easier to use. System maybe you aren’t a total dummy after all…
System: ಠ~ಠ
Zhen Shi continued to walk away from Batsy’s corpse like a boss, with a satisfied expression but suddenly stopped…
He quickly scuttled back towards Batsy’s body, took the demonic core, pocketed it and scuttled back towards his original position.
Heaving a sigh he continued to walk away, System… You saw nothing…
System: “…”
After a while noting that quite some time was left for the day to finish, Zhen Shi continued and stopped near a mountain face. He utilized earthen aether to carve out a cave within it and went inside. Sitting crosslegged he manifested the skill book obtaining a very thick dark red leatherbound book. He had decided to definitely read it since it had come out of an ‘easy life’ chest.
Soon Zhen Shi’s inner book worm was completely entranced with the vast amount of details in the book. Although titled for ‘dummies’ it could be considered a truly complete guide for material identification. The book gave information regarding almost every mineral, herb, and beast material in existence, along with how to identify them, possible locations, their general value, etc. Zhen Shi was surprised to find information regarding many materials even with extra-terrestrial origins.
It also provided information regarding pill refining and blacksmithing. Many types of refining techniques and special notes for novice cultivators were available in it.
This book contained an utterly incomprehensible amount of information. Even cultivators have a limit on the extent of their memory. But Zhen Shi could completely neglect that with the effect of the title “Scholarly Bookworm.” As such, by the time the sun was setting, he had completely memorized all of its contents just by reading it once. In fact, he was itching to try out some pill refining and blacksmithing.
But he was lacking the items necessary to do so. Still his rewards this time were bountiful. He began to walk back to Myne and Vivienne now that the day was nearing its end. He didn’t fly because he kept using the appraisal skill on the plants and herbs along the way.
Thus by the time he reached the campsite he had gathered a pretty good collection of herbs.
He walked into the clearing with a brightly lit fire, above which was a large pot covered with a lid. Myne and Vivienne smiled at his arrival and called out, “Your finally back! Come quick or the food–” but stopped with widened eyes.
Zhen Shi was confused at their looks.
FUCK! Is there a dong’er on my face? Have I become an elephant?
Noticing his confusion Myne said, “Your–your cultivation? How did it improve so fast? Could it be–?”
Ahhh! *cough* Aiya! It is indeed difficult for me to hide my brilliance. Now that I won’t be able to fool them anymore, I suppose it’s fine if I tell this brother and sister of mine.
Zhen Shi spoke out while proudly slapping his chest, “I suppose I’ll tell you two. I possess a special physique allowing me to improve cultivation by killing enemies.”
Myne gaped and said, “Shit! Really? How is that possible. I thought you were just hiding your cultivation before…”
NANI? ಠ_ಥ
I could’ve gotten away with such a lame excuse?
Vivienne, however, wasn’t surprised and said, “When I was connected with your ‘piss’ fountain,” a deadly light shone in her eyes focused on Zhen Shi, as she continued, “I sensed the primordial chaos within your body. Countless generations of mage cultivators have tried to control chaos, all ending in failure. Thus I found it impossible to believe that your body contains it. So for an impossible situation, impossible reasoning must be applied. In addition to that you possess the opposing bloodlines of the Azure Dragon and the Vermillion Bird!”
Myne now nodded in understanding and continued, “Yes. So due to the primordial chaos perhaps you have gained the ability to cultivate by killing. And it is also probably the reason the opposing bloodlines exist as well!”
Although Zhen Shi obediently listened to them he was confident that the primordial chaos within his dantian and the system were completely unrelated.
Vivienne and Myne continued in a serious tone, “Still… Brother, you should remember to keep the nature of your physique a secret. In fact, it would have been better if you didn’t tell us at all.”
Zhen Shi nodded smiling, “No worries. It’s just you guys. I won’t go telling every person I meet.”
Myne laughed out loud while saying, “HAHA. Our brother is a once in a lifetime prodigy. Your physique and comprehension skills are all top-notch. By following brother Zhen Shi maybe we could even regain our cultivation by unconventional means.”
Vivienne smiled, “Alright. But for now, let’s forget it,” while opening up the lid of the pot, “Little bro, I did my best on the demon butterfly” and said. An amazing hunger-inducing aroma wafted out from the pot.
Zhen Shi was dumbfounded as he said, “Butterfly can smell this good? Vivienne, you added Clinthorpe, Clutter grass and even… is that… Mara root?” Vivienne was surprised, “Brother Zhen Shi is also familiar with Herbology? This stupid husband of mine despises herbology. It’s good to know you aren’t” and said with a smile.
Zhen Shi was puzzled… When did these two become husband and wife? But didn’t dare ask out loud…
Myne frowned unhappily, “Herbology is indeed a waste of time unless you refine pills. Let’s just eat now…” and said while taking a bowl of the butterfly meat and eating.
Vivienne ignored him as she continued speaking, “Little brother. You should eat as well. Or he’ll finish all of it.”
Zhen Shi laughed while taking a bowl for himself. He bit into the butterfly meat as an indescribably delicious taste assaulted his mouth. He continued stuffing himself with it…
ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
“Vivienne! This tastes amazing! This part is spicy, this part is sweeter. I’ll never get tired of it!” he shouted out while stuffing himself in between words. Vivienne laughed and Myne spoke out, “HAHA! Of course. My wife is a top tier divine chef. As long as we follow you, you’ll be never unhappy with the food.”
But Vivienne pouted while saying, “But still you are unhappy with herbology…” Myne shook his head while smiling. Vivienne turned to Zhen Shi who was continuing to stuff his mouth, “Little bro, now that you have reached Soul formation, have you decided on your titular cultivation?”

This got Zhen Shi to stop as a part of his memory was jogged awake. He was momentarily puzzled as he had neglected the concept of titles before, and as there were several he was interested in. Seeing his face Myne said, “Brother, me and Vivienne are both primarily Mage cultivators. But we also have side professions. For instance, Vivienne is a divine chef. And I’m a formation expert. That formation in your ‘anti-harem valley’ was originally my spell! So its fine to follow many side professions, but you should figure a primary title first”
Zhen Shi nodded in understanding, and swallowed the last of the food, “Don’t worry. I’ll have myself titled by tomorrow!”
Myne and Vivienne and broke out laughing, “HAHA! Who would dare do it so hurriedly? That is indeed like you…”
Zhen Shi was however dumfounded as he sensed his cultivation improve slightly after he finished eating. He looked at the duo with a surprised look on his face, “This… can the food actually improve your cultivation?”
Vivienne nodded and said, “Of course. Divine chefs don’t just cook for taste. It can improve your cultivation and stabilize your cultivation base. After all, since we can go hungry for so long, there should be a good reason for you to eat, right?”
Zhen Shi smiled, “In that case thank you for the food. I’ll go now and let you two get ‘reacquainted’,” and walked off with a wink.
Myne grinned while Vivienne blushed in response. As he left, Vivienne suddenly frowned, “Hey hubby of mine, how come Zhen Shi ate the demon beast meat, if he is one of those people crazy about demon beast rights like you said?” Myne shrugged, “I told you. You can’t understand him easily…” and said with a smile. “More importantly, just like bro said, Vivienne, how about we get ‘reacquainted’…” he said while slowly walking towards her.
????????????????
Zhen Shi was wondering about all that Myne and Vivienne had said. He had been aware of the presence of titles. But had needed Vivienne’s reminder to jog his only partially reobtained memory. This was good luck. Because if he had continued improving his cultivation without a title he might have forever been untitled.
A title is a type of resonance you obtain with nature as confirmation of the path you would follow in the future. For instance that Xue Yuegui was probably an elemental warrior based on thunder, while Myne and Vivienne were mages. However, ‘proclamators’ like Lin Hai did not use titular cultivation. What they followed was a path slightly different from ordinary cultivation and used words to battle. Demonic beasts on the other hand generally had the preset title of warrior. Zhen Shi realized that since he hadn’t known before and since he was too weak none of his enemies had particularly mentioned titles.
FUCK! System shouldn’t you have told me before? If it wasn’t for sis Vivienne I would have made a complete fool of myself…
System: “…”
A title does not provide any special abilities. Simply it makes it easier for a cultivator to improve in that particular art. It was important to decide on a title suitable for you but also something you enjoyed. Many cultivators had reached bottlenecks in their titular cultivation due to them not being talented or being unsatisfied with their titles.
Zhen Shi was skilled in Archery, but also due to the system, he could gain skills and spells. He had come to enjoy archery but he also enjoyed punching and throwing out spells. However, this meant being either a Mage, an Archer or a Warrior. He could attempt to get all three, but dual titlists were extremely rare, let alone tri titlists, as it was difficult to get two different titles to resonate simultaneously.
So Zhen Shi turned to his only option, “System, how are my chances of getting multiple titles?”
Ding!
The user can utilize the elemental roots and primordial chaos to stimulate Title: Mage, the Bow shadow to stimulate Title: Archer and the Beast bloodlines to stimulate Title: Warrior.
Haha! Yes! I was thinking the same thing. System-nii, Omega good job!
System: “…”
As such Zhen Shi focused on gathering the soul strength in his dantian. After several hours he simultaneously exerted the soul strength on to his spiritual roots, on to the shadow of the bow and on to the bloodlines of the two divine beasts. Immediately the wind started to blow around him and the moonlight brightened onto his location. At the same time, the soul Zhen Shi’s body became draconic with bird wings and received a bow along with the ability to use spells. While Zhen Shi was basking in this resonance with nature after a while, three plaques appeared behind him namely Mage, Archer and Warrior radiating golden energy that communicated with nature…
However, a thread of primordial chaos interfered with these three titles. Miraculously these three titles began to merge and formed a singular title reading “WARRIOR BATTLEMAGE”. This too radiated golden energy but that energy was absorbed by the primordial chaos and prohibited from communicating with primordial chaos.
Now having successfully begun his path onto titular cultivation, he decided to check his status,

Hmm… I can’t say much about the status. It is the truth after all. And, SHIET. I’m broke in OP points…
Still, Zhen Shi laughed out loud as he opened his eyes. He was extremely happy with the sudden combination of his three titles. But he knew that this was something extremely unprecedented. Dual titles were one thing, and three titles were still manageable but if the higher-ups came to know that he had combined triple titles he would be in great trouble. He realized that he could emanate the aurae of the titles separately or as one. Thus he decided to act as a singlular title Archer.
He happily went out to the campsite getting to see Myne and Vivienne chatting. By their body language, he could sense that they had solved most of their ‘regrets’ over these years. Thus he laughed, ” Oi. You two seem to have become pretty close now…”
Myne and Vivienne turned to look at him and smiled. But Myne stood up and shouted, “Shit! Bro I thought you were joking! You actually went and got the title by morning! But an archer? Don’t you just whack your bow everywhere?”
Zhen Shi laughed, “Of course not. A mere Mage couldn’t understand the depths of archery, even if you were the Great Merlin!” and said.
Myne scowled playfully pushing his shirt sleeves up, “What did you say, bro? And who the fuck is Merlin?” But, Vivienne coughed lightly staring death at both of them, causing both of them to become silent.
“HAHA! Let’s be on our way back to the Lyonesse kingdom. It’ll be late otherwise, ” said Zhen Shi while awkwardly laughing and quickly walking away. Myne hurriedly followed him.
Vivienne lightly shook her head as she too followed the duo. But, Zhen Shi was smiling as he walked away.
It’s been a month now. Is that old man dead yet? And I wonder how she is doing…
????????????????????????
Back in the Lyonnesse kingdom, within the main hall of the Brishman Mansion, an overweight man was fondling his beard with an angry frown on his face while seated on the main seat, surrounded by three middle-aged women. In front of him was a familiar young girl with an unhappy look on her face, this was Isolde! She did not have her usual splendor and light, as if she had been under stress and worry for quite some time. Slightly behind her was Butler Alec. The usual smile that was consistently on his face, was completely absent.
The overweight man in the seat spoke out with an authoritative voice, “Isolde! You cannot refuse! By associating with the Zhen Clan you have already brought great trouble for me in the king’s court. I did my best to hide this matter, but the court mages were able to determine the spatial transportation to Lyon City from within our mansion. Even if that boy wasn’t of the Zhen Clan, the possibility of spatial transportation to the heart of the Lyonesse kingdom is a great threat to national security!
The kingdom’s army has already begun investigating this matter and since we are associated our family’s reputation will be sullied. I was barely able to settle the problem for the moment by saying that the boy was gravely wounded and had spatial traveled by sheer luck. Even still it is only a matter of time before I am summoned to court to explain properly. I can’t believe that I actually allowed you to heal and save that walking disaster. But now it is too late, the only way to solve this is with the Prince’s help!”
Isolde frowned and said, “Lord Father, I will indeed take responsibility for that. But how could you decide to sell me out to Prince Tristram just like that? Am I not your daughter? What has happened to you recently?”
Count Vir Brishman’s anger lightened slightly. But almost immediately the middle-aged woman standing closest to him spoke out, “Lord Husband, I understand that she is our daughter, but this problem was already caused by giving way to her. The household servants say that she even acted improperly with that Zhen Clan brat. I hope Lord Husband will not make the same mistake twice,” with a cunning smile on her face. Instantly, Count Brishman’s face hardened.
Noticing this Isolde angrily spoke out at her Step-Mother, “Lady Isabella how can you do this? Zhen Shi told me himself that he is an enemy of the Zhen Clan. Associating with him is not a trouble to the crown at all. I’m sure he did not mean to threaten the security of the Lyonesse kingdom. But you just want me to sell my dignity off to the prince, so you can achieve whatever hidden agendas you have! And must it be the Crown Prince? Everyone knows the type of person he is now…”
Immediately, Isabella gasped in horror, but deep within her eyes frothing anger could be seen. She spoke out with a hidden tinge of malice, “My dear daughter, how could you address me so distantly? And accuse me of having agendas? All of my actions are for the good of the Brishman family. Despite the tales regarding the Prince, I’m sure you’ll be able to handle him. I just wanted you to marry him so that you could live a better life as the Queen!” while rubbing tears from her eyes.
Noticing Isabella’s tears, Count Brishman grew even angrier, “Isolde! How could you be so uncaring towards your mother’s feelings!”
Isolde was boiling in anger and was about to shout out…
But noticing this Butler Alec spoke out, “Lord Count. It was I who treated and taught that boy. I solemnly ask of you that you punish me and let the young lady be.”
Count Brishman smiled lightly, “Alec, you’ve always taken care of Isolde in my place. You have also served the Lyonesse kingdom well. I have always considered your words, but this time, I must refuse!”
Alec hurriedly spoke out, “Lord Count–” but he was stopped by an angrily frowning Isabella who shouted out, “A mere Butler is speaking out unnecessarily. The Lord Count has already stated his decision. How dare you be so discourteous. In fact, I believe Isolde must’ve gained her disobedience and problematic nature from your soon to die self!”
Isolde now unable to hold out her anger shouted out, “Isabella that’s too much! You’ve never been a mother to me. Grandpa Alec is infinitely more humane and deserving to speak than you. God knows what you do in that room with all those people scream–” but she was stopped by a worried Alec who hurriedly shut her mouth.
Immediately pouncing on this chance, Isabella started to weep, “My dear daughter… How could you say such horrendous things? You know that room is only for my medical condition!”
Count Brishman had planned on punishing both of them, but seeing his main wife crying he could only bring himself to berate Isolde. As such, “Isolde, shut up. Your mother might have gone too far, but you went even far!”
Isabella looked at this situation that Isolde and Alec had fallen into in glee, while the other two ladies had looks of pity on their faces. Count Brishamn continued, “The only reason that boy of the Zhen Clan is still living happily wherever he is, is due to my words on Alec’s part… But that can be changed in an instant.”
Hearing his words, Isolde who had been planning to shout froze in place…
Count Brishman continued to speak angrily, “No matter how much of a genius he is, do you think that that boy can fight against the entire Lyonesse kingdom? If it is truly as you say then, not even the Zhen Clan will not help him. I didn’t want to do this before, but you yourself led me to… If you do not accompany the Prince out today, I’ll make sure to have that boys head on a pike within the week!”
The fiery anger in Isolde’s eyes died out as her frail figure shivered and almost collapsed. Alec immediately caught her with a sorrowful look on his face. Seeing this, Count Brishman’s face again contorted in sorrow and almost stood up… but, Isabella held onto the Count’s hand and shook her head at him meaningfully.
As a result, the worry on his face was once again hidden under a hardened face, but this time his voice was much lighter, “I am confident that the Prince will control himself with you, you have been childhood friends after all… Just try it out for tomorrow. Isolde, you must do this for the Brishman family…”
And in a more severe tone, “This is the last time I ask nicely…”
Under the eyes of the brightly smiling Isabella, and completely alone beside the old man who was supporting her from the back, Isolde lowered her head with tears in her eyes and whispered, “Yes… Lord Father.”
