"The son of a god, I am not." Clark shook his head before he continued.
"I am nothing but an ordinary Young Master who is out here to enjoy his life on a daily basis."
"And I would like very much indeed if I was left to my own devices and not get disturbed from enjoying my long vacation in this xianxia world. Now... Can I at least have that?"
Our good gamer asked and his eyes were shooting arrows of discontent towards the little girl in the sky.
"Impossible! You are definitely an Outsider, Young Master Clark.
Because if you are not, then we would have long ago known of your presence in this reality and kept track of your progress in your cultivation and training.
But no, you have arrived here. Shrouded in inexplicable mystery and darkness. And I would be a fool to let you fester in our world."
Daoist Twilight Moon replied and Clark saw the look of determination flash before the loli's clear eyes. Our good protagonist did not like how things were proceeding out of his plan at all.
"WAIT!" Clark raised a hand to stop whatever Twilight Moon was about to do.
"What is it, Young Master Clark? Are you finally willing to release Crazy Monkey and Snow Frost?" Twilight Moon maneuvered carefully.
She admitted that she would have no doubt go on full attack mode earlier on just her lonesome.
The little girl never considered any of her allies to lend a hand simply because of the fact that they were still not here after all the time that had elapsed since the battle had begun.
Deep inside, the lolita was quite certain that she was treated as a mere test subject in order to know the depth and abilities of this enigmatic Young Master Clark.
'And the fact that I could not read this Outsider's destiny has proven a lot more troublesome than I initially anticipated.' Twilight Moon mused inside.
"You know that i can't set them free yet." Clark started.
'Or you would have long attacked me again already.' He added in his thoughts and let the words unspoken.
Our good gamer knew how righteous characters like this one acted in anime, manga, and web novels and so he never doubted one bit that Twilight Moon would be a pain in the ass and a very very motivated opponent at that.
"Give me some time to think, Daoist Twilight Moon." Our bored gamer said and began rubbing his chin in an act that he had already done so many times in the past.
"..." Twilight Moon only nodded and the peculiar actions of Young Master Clark was not lost in her seasoned eyes.
This Outsider was acting strange and quite unsure of what he wanted to do which was pretty different from all the alien True Immortals that she had encountered many times before.
Nevertheless, she allowed for some truce to mitigate between them as she was also not confident in defeating our avid gamer.
'I don't feel good about this. My gut is telling me that nursing a conflict with this little loli would only end so badly for me. Hmmm... What kind of cheat does Twilight Moon have?
Maybe she also has a system like me? Or what if good people like her have the unbeatable power of friendship as her final trump card? Can I even win against that?
But is it worth to try to know if my guess is accurate or not?' Clark paused in half a breath before he decided otherwise in the end.
He realized that there was a much easier way to end this conflict without clashing horns against this willful little girl.
'I want to purchase the best Mythical Scanning Secret Manual, Nancy. I want something that would help me to be able to locate anyone in this universe.'
Clark requested unto his silent system.
He could of course just ask Nancy where this particular person was located but it was better to have this power in his arsenal than ask his system for direction over and over again.
"Affirmative, host." Nancy replied.
"Congratulations, host. You have successfully purchased the Boundless Void Insight!"
A breath later, the familiar voice of the system notified the almost instantaneous exchange that happened. Clark's character sheet was also automatically presented before his eyes.

'Nice! Thank you so much, Nancy!' Clark smiled as he felt that no secrets were hidden from his eyes anymore.
Not even the myriad of secret realms in this reality could escape his vision at the moment.
He was about to search for that Daoist Drunken Monarch who escaped from long ago in order to slaughter that annoying guy and deter every True Immortal from making trouble into his business but he was stopped by a glaring truth directly above his head.
'What is that thing, Nancy?' Clark could not help but shiver at the sight. It was a vision unlike any other sight that he had seen before.
There was a beautiful phantasmal lady beside the little loli.
And if he was to be frank about, this woman was perhaps the most charming daughter of Eve that our besotted protagonist has ever seen in his life.
She was even more beautiful than Tang Xinyue, Ning Xi and Wan Fei combined.
'This is totally impossible! How could a woman like her exist?!' Clark screamed in shock within himself.
Even if the lovely lady stood there with her eyes closed, our avid gamer could still determine with a hundred percent certainty that this was indeed the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.
There was an animalistic pull from his heart, body and soul to serve this unknown woman with all of his being. Fortunately, Nancy distracted him long enough to compose himself once again.
"She is one of the goddesses in the Divine Realm, host. The system would advise you to not use any prying cultivation technique unto the little girl's form.
Or else you might attract the interest of the goddess herself and effectively wake her up from her passive existence inside the soul of the woman titled Daoist Twilight Moon."
Nancy cautioned softly.
'What about the other guy? That wretched Drunken Monarch? Does he have a god inside him too?' Clark followed Nancy's suggestion and took his eyes off the little girl.
Alas, he was so careless as to seek Drunken Monarch's form in the vastness of the void. Nancy could not even answer before an untimely event happened in just a blink of an eye.
"A mortal ant... dare look into this god's perfect countenance. Begone!" Clark heard these loud words and his ears bled from them alone.
He could see a man in regal robes beside the solid figure of Drunken Monarch and this man was not at all pleased at his unwanted intrusion.
The man who claimed himself a god opened his eyes and Clark saw only darkness.
"This... is..." Clark said his first audible words since he offered a recess of fighting between him and the loli, Daoist Twilight Moon.
These soft words were of course heard by the ever sharp senses of one of the mightiest True Immortals in this reality.
"What is it, Young Master Clark? Have you reconsidered?" Twilight Moon asked. Unfortunately, she could not anymore hear what transpired unto the handsome boy or why and how.
She only witnessed that the life force from the Outsider suddenly collapsed into an infinitesimal proportion that she would have judged that a single slap would end the boy's pitiful existence into oblivion.
Young Master Clark knelt and was suspended in the sky with a plain and stunned expression on his face.
Regrettably for our bored gamer, the veteran Immortal has not failed to capitalize on this chance.
She did not need to know how this came to be nor she awaited an invitation of some sort to initiate an attack.
There was no such thing as fairness in a battle between life and death. And so the little loli just acted without prejudice. She charged with all of her might!
"BOOM!" Twilight Moon took her Immortal weapon into the fray.
This was the first time she did so today because she did not even see the need for it to be used in her earlier fight with Daoist Drunken Monarch.
Yet at this very moment, she did. Her weapon was a lavender folding fan. With this Immortal Artifact in hand, her base power stat surged to almost 1,500,000,000.
With this sudden explosion of power, Twilight Moon showed no mercy to her enemy. She broke the distance between them and the rest was history.
"BANG!" A heaven shattering blast occurred and when the dust settled, blood moistened the dry surfaces of this molten desert.
