Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 887: New Brilliance

Ning was surprised how long it took the high-level cultivators that gave themselves the title 'gods' to gather up for a simple meeting.         

    

He had been in the Sky God Palace for the last 5 years and yet people still hadn't finished arriving.     

The guards guarded him day and night, and he couldn't even leave the area without their supervision.     

With nothing else to do, Ning had spent the last 5 years simply cultivating. Before he knew it, another 10 years had passed in the blink of an eye and now his cultivation base had reached halfway through the Celestial birth realm.      

'Its getting harder to cultivate fast after reaching this much cultivation base,' Ning thought. Still, he had a cultivation base that barely anyone else would have, so there wasn't much he could complain about.     

Even gods would be envious of his cultivation base if they saw it right now.     

Ning heard a knock on the door and was surprised to find a new person waiting for him there.     

The one that had appeared outside of his door was a girl with features so good that Ning was stunned for a while.     

If not for knowing any better, he would've thought that this girl was a Manifested Will just like Alexis in why she was so pretty.      

Her pitch black hair fell by her shoulders, framing her fair and smooth face. Her left eye was bright green while her right eye was pale silver, making her look almost fantastical.     

"Greetings, sage Ning," the girl bowed a little.     

"Greetings," Ning bowed as well. "Who might you be?"      

"I am New Brilliance," the girl introduced herself. "Disciple heir of the Sky God, Old Brilliance."      

By now, Ning had already been used to the naming system of this world, so he didn't bat an eye when he heard those names.      

"It's nice to meet you," Ning said. "So you're senior Sky God's daughter?"      

"No, just a disciple," the girl said.     

"Is that so? My bad then. Since you both have the same surname, I thought you guys were related," Ning said.     

The girl gave a confused look. "But we don't have the same surname," she said.     

"Huh?" Ning threw a confused look back at her.      

The girl didn't understand what was happening, so she proceeded to explain. "My surname is New and my name is Brilliance. My master's surname is Old and his name is Brilliance," she said.     

"Is that so?" Ning said understanding a little more now. "So it is just a coincidence that you both happened to be named Brilliance huh?" he asked.     

"No…?" the girl started suspecting that Ning was either feigning stupidity or was actually stupid. There was no one that could make such a simple mistake after hearing it twice.     

"My name is Brilliance, and my Master's name is Brilliance. They are not the same," she said with a slightly annoyed look on her face.     

"But they're the same though? They're both Brilliance," Ning said.     

"How are they the same?" the girl asked. "My name is Brilliance, and my master—"      

She paused and shook her head. "You must be teasing me for some reason. I won't play along with it," she said. "I came here to tell you that my master and the other seniors await your arrival in the Hall of Gods."         

    

"But… fine, let's go," Ning said. Bothering with this argument any longer was going to make his head hurt. The last thing he wanted to care about in this world was names.     

Ning walked out of the courtyard he was staying in and started moving towards the massive building in the distance which was the Sky God's Palace. This building was what the entire world was named after.     

As they walked, Ning's eyes fell on something close by that felt important in his eyes. "What's that?" he asked the girl.     

The girl turned to look towards the open building with various things kept inside for the show.     

"That's the Hall of Treasures," she explained. "That's where we keep humanity's best treasures."     

"Where did you get the treasures from?" Ning asked. "Or does it all belong to the Sky God?"      

"Oh no," the girl said. "These are lent to us by various families, sects, and individuals. They allow it to be kept here to show our allies the strength of human kind, but also because the sky god palace is the most fortified world in all of the different realms."     

Ning nodded when he heard that. "I see," he thought.     

They continued walking through a road that was covered in flowers and various patterns on the ground.      

Finally, Ning arrived at the Sky God palace, a building made with materials he wouldn't even have ever heard of.     

The jade doors of the palace opened and Ning was taken inside. Everywhere they went, the servants and workers stopped to bow.     

Ning was surprised at how devoted they were to their guest at first, but he soon realized that they were bowing toward the girl next to him.     

'Of course,' he thought. 'She is the next Sky God after all.'     

Ning was then taken to the main hall of the palace. The doors opened, and he walked in.     

As soon as he did, he saw nearly 20 different figures, all of whom had a cultivation base in the Celestial realm.     

Ning was surprised at how many figures were waiting for him. He walked in and bowed once before looking around for a place to sit.     

Surprisingly, there were none for him.     

All of a sudden, a barrier erupted around him, confining him in the middle of the hall. Ning was surprised as to what was happening when he saw the smiling face of a person sitting there.     

Ning couldn't help but be surprised when he realized that the young man was actually the sword god. He was confused as to how quickly the man had found his body back.     

"Good, now we can begin," a man in green and silver robes at the front spoke. "Let us begin the attempted murder trial of the Sage of Ten Thousand treasures."
