Sam's face took on an understanding expression upon seeing the question marks in his stats. "I guess even you can't quantify my power level, can you?"
"Forgive me, master. I couldn't be useful," the system replied.
"It's alright. Even I don't know what the limit of my power is. Don't forget, there is no other being like me in any other universe."
"I will remember, master."
"Now, give me the reports. Have you found any unregistered or foreign beings in the world?"
"Master, I have found two beings with unknown origin hidden in the dark forest of the White Tiger Continent. I'm sending you the coordinates."
In his sea of consciousness, Sam saw a map appear floating in the system window. Two points were marked, showing the exact location of two beings judged as foreigners of the cultivation world by the system.
In the real world, Sam looked at his World Tree sisters. "Sisters, I have somewhere I have to be. I will be back soon."
After saying that, he disappeared from the separate space and appeared in a very dense forest with tall trees that sunlight was unable to penetrate.
Sam glanced at the map showing the location of two targets. He narrowed his brows when he noticed that the targets had started to move. "Trying to run? Is that a joke?"
Far from him, two figures with ugly expressions were running aimlessly. Both of these people were not from the cultivation world. They were the reason why the devil arts spread among those people Sam killed, as they had become corrupted beings because of it.
"It's all your fault! If it wasn't for you manipulating those men, they wouldn't have hastily planned to steal potential from their kin," one of the men said, gritting his teeth. He kept glancing back as if searching for the monster that had been haunting his dreams.
"Now that monster's onto us. He's going to kill us!"
"Where did your earlier conviction about finding and killing your son's killer go? Are you afraid you realized it's that monster who killed your son, Dorian?" the other man said, spitting as they ran with their tails behind them.
Before they could continue bantering about the pathetic lives they led until now, death, nightmare, hell in the form of a man with the most handsome face in the universe graced with the most beautiful smile in heaven.
"I can't believe the remnants of the devil race are still alive even today. I thought I killed every single one of you," Sam said, looking at the two beings in front of him.
"Not everyone, some of us escaped that massacre and were able to hide from you, you damn monster. Don't think for a second I've forgotten that day," the man clenched his fist into a ball, even forgetting that he was speaking to the same man he had been running from.
"That day, you killed billions of people of my race," he accused.
Sam tilted his head, showing no reaction to the obvious provocation. It seemed that the man's comment from the devil race didn't evoke any sense of guilt in him.
"What did you expect me to do, I wonder," Sam snorted. "You devils invaded our universe, the universe under my protection, and killed the residents, stealing our resources."
Sam narrowed his eyes dangerously as his hair turned golden, along with his eyes taking on the form they had when he killed the devils all those years ago.
"You started the war, I just finished it," Sam said, looking at the devil in front of him with a hateful gaze.
"I would have let you lead a painful life, but I know better. I knew it was you who manipulated those men into falling for your corruption, turning them into devils. You hurt a lot of people; you deserve death."
Sam pointed his hand at the man before him, and they felt something strangling their body, making them struggle and feel pain just to move their throat to speak.
Then, Sam looked into the blood-red eyes of the devil man with an ugly grin. "There will be a day when I will invade your universe, and your race is going to wish there was someone like me to protect them."
His smile widened further. "Don't feel lonely; I will be sending many more after you."

Twilight Castle, Nightingale, Azure Dragon Continent.
The Eternal Companions, Sam's wives, were gathered not because of anything official, but simply because they found the Twilight Castle of the vampires cozy and enjoyed its isolation from others.
"Princess Kate, the master asked me to inform you that he will be back in an hour or so," the notification from the system rang out.
"Hmm, okay," Kate nodded and took a bite of the sandwich on her plate, her attention piqued by the unusually tasty treat.
"Father... the progenitor will arrive in an hour," she informed the women sitting beside her with scarlet hair and light green eyes, as well as the others in the room.
"You can call him your father, Kate. After all, he treats you like a daughter, and you are his direct descendant," Amelia said, patting Kate's head as if she were spoiling a child.
Kate's expression shifted to one of annoyance, and she pushed Amelia's hand away, clearly tired of being treated like a kid despite being millions of years old.
"Aren't you being grumpy?" Amelia pouted. "I remember you being very happy when your father was spoiling you."
"Hmph," Kate simply turned her face away, indicating she didn't want to answer that specific question.
"Hehe... aren't you a cutie," Lenora, munching on a sandwich, remarked with sparkling eyes, resisting her inner desire to fuss over the little girl.
"Anyway, Kate, what's your level?" Amelia inquired.
"109," Kate calmly replied.
"109?" The women gasped in disbelief, their expressions blank as they processed the incredible revelation.
Once again, they were reminded of who stood before them—Kate Dracula, the former queen of vampires, the strongest individual in the Azure Dragon Continent.
Even though Sam had turned her into a little girl to keep her close and safe, she retained her power and cultivation.
Moreover, as the carrier of both the blood of the vampire progenitor and Sam, the Son of the Universe, she was as formidable as ever, if not more so due to the unexpected contrast between her appearance and her strength.
"Father said that the level corresponds to my cultivation level, but my actual battle power is different from my level," Kate said, smiling and enjoying their reaction.
"I wonder why Father did this level thing."
"As you know, Kate, he is going to introduce the system in other worlds soon. Their worlds are not like ours," Mina said.
"Unlike our world, where our system of evolution is Spiritual Cultivation, their system of evolution will be completely different."
"Another method of evolution, like cultivation but different in execution, achieved through the same level of effort. Evolution that grants them extended lifespan and power beyond imagination."
"When that happens, we will come in contact with them. They will learn about us, and we will learn about them. They will also have a leveling feature just like ours, with this, we can compare them to us," Mina continued.
"It's basically co-evolution with the residents of other worlds. You might have noticed some of the functions of the system Sam created were for the sole purpose of communication with the other worlders. An intergalactic trade," Rin added.
"It's not just a simple trade; we can exchange resources with other worlds. We can learn more about the path of cultivation, improve our techniques, delve deeper into alchemy and medicine. This will be the opportunity of a billion years," Yuna added, contemplating deeply about her husband's plans for the future.
"More importantly, our evolution will accelerate even further. Not just for us, but for otherworlders as well. After all, they will also trade with otherworlders, ultimately leading to the boosted evolution of our universe."
