Hao Gongming, having finally ended her rest in the soil world, summoned Gray.

She asked, "Is everything ready?"

Gray responded emotionlessly, "Yes, all haremable creatures are now in this world, and every essence in the soil has been added to it. This world has become so vast that even the precious mage world is like a mere grain of sand compared to it."

Hao Gongming nodded and continued, "Now, you, Original Sin, and Shang Lu, gather all the 5th steps. I am going to open a portal to the worm's body."

Gray nodded in understanding and left to fulfill the task.

...

Gao Feng searched everywhere and finally reached a conclusion. He thought to himself, "This is not the world I was in before."

After years of searching, he realized that there was only endless space in this place, nothing else. He pondered, "Where am I? My master told me that everything here is fake, and I need to find a way to reach the real world, but I have no idea where to begin."

He then took out a token and contemplated deeply.

His master was an old cultivator from the Dwarven race and was only a remnant soul.

According to him, his sole purpose was to find a successor.

Gao Feng became his disciple after passing a test and inherited a great deal of knowledge, reaching the 5th step with the resources his master provided.

Along with all that, his master gave him this token, instructing him to use it only as a last resort.

However, he had no idea what purpose the token served. His master only mentioned that it could solve all his problems.

Throughout the years, Gao Feng struggled with whether or not to use the token. Each time, he decided against it. But after searching for so long and finding no other way out, he began to reconsider.

"There is no other choice," he thought to himself.

He had already searched every corner, and there seemed to be no way to escape. It was like being trapped in a confined space surrounded by endless void.

With his current power, he was unable to traverse the void and was completely imprisoned. Thus, with a serious expression, he firmly held the token and pressed it with determination.

An extremely bright golden light enveloped Gao Feng, and he began to dream.

...

The Dwarven race was one of the original 14 races, ranking as the third strongest after the human race and the dragon race.

They were led by their king, Guide, who was considered a legend among the dwarves.

Guide had led his people to become one of the original races and was among the first beings to exist.

There was a legend that Guide had once encountered the Creator, the entity responsible for creating the real world and establishing its laws before vanishing.

The whereabouts of the Creator were unknown, but anything associated with the Creator held immense popularity, and even rank 19 beings were willing to fight for it.

Guide was enjoying his favorite pastime of drinking beer when suddenly a token in his pocket vibrated. He chuckled and said, "Ah, another brat has used the token."

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

He had set up numerous "inheritances" in simulations, granting tokens to individuals who exhibited the luck of a protagonist.

His specialty was luck theft. After extensive research, he discovered that certain individuals within the simulation world possessed an imbalanced amount of luck, allowing them to rapidly increase in power.

He referred to these individuals as protagonists and created these inheritances to steal their luck.

When they pressed the token and made a wish, they would trade their luck for something they desired and naturally, their greatest desire was to escape the sealed space.

However, Guide couldn't simply steal their luck without giving them something valuable in return. Thus, he would intentionally send them to sealed spaces, hoping they would use the token to wish for freedom.

The rules regarding luck were clear. Guide had to provide something truly valuable in exchange for stealing their luck.

By freeing them and providing them with abundant treasures to aid their journey to the 5th step, it was considered a fair trade.

However, for individuals with exceptionally strong luck, Guide needed to pay closer attention and might even require them to reach the 6th step for the trade to be deemed fair.

But the key is that the trade must be considered fair according to the laws of the real world for the luck to be transferred.

However, for Guide, it was worth it. What were a few resources to help people reach the 5th step when he was gaining the luck of a protagonist, something with infinite uses? Guide even discovered that the rules of the real world could be bent to some extent by luck.

"Okay, let's see this lad," he said, taking a sip of his beer.

He cast a spell that allowed him to observe people's luck and focused his attention on Gao Feng. "Let's see, it's the normal luck of a protagonist, so reaching the 5th step should be sufficient. Wait, what is that?" Guide noticed a pink mark in Gao Feng's luck. "That's the mark of one of that woman's clones! Damn!"

According to their agreement, when that mark appeared, he was not supposed to interfere with them. "But all the protagonists were supposed to be mine! You bitch, did you include my protagonist in your damn harem?"

He angrily struck the table with his cup. He was furious. That woman was incredibly overbearing and had practically taken over the entire simulations.

"I only wanted a few protagonists, and now she's encroaching on that too! That is not tolerable to me. If she messes with me, I'll mess with her!" Guide laughed and started drinking more beer directly from the jar.

...

Gao Feng woke up and found himself in a strange place. It was a room that exuded both luxury and simplicity. A woman was seated, staring at him in astonishment.

He uttered, "Hao Gongming?"

She exclaimed, "You? Gao Feng? How the hell did you get here? What's going on?"

He stood up and carefully examined her from head to toe. Recalling his dream, he said, "Wait, Hao Gongming, I have something important to tell you."

She looked at him with curiosity.

"Listen, the moment you escape from the soil world, you die!"

Hao Gongming was shocked and asked, "How do you know that I want to get out? How do you know that we are in the soil? And how are you at the 5th step? Explain quickly!"

Gao Feng took a deep breath and said, "My master helped me reach the 5th step and revealed the truth to me. He also saved me from a sealed space and finally shared a secret with me."

He looked at her with pitiful eyes and continued, "My master said you are just a clone sent here to cultivate, and as soon as you leave, you will be absorbed by your main body. Your cheats were given to you by your main body and need to be discarded if you want to survive."

Hao Gongming was completely stunned.

She remained speechless for five minutes, deeply pondering everything and starting to see the flaws.

Her system was far too powerful, its calculations were inaccurate and there were many errors that she ignored, and everything seemed too smooth and effortless. There had to be a higher being assisting her from the shadows.

"My main body! He's probably right. It's the only explanation for why I've always felt something was missing," she thought.

From the beginning, she had a sense of not being here randomly. "My gut is telling me that Gao Feng is right. So what should I do?"

She couldn't just leave and be killed by her main body.

"Absolutely not! Even if I'm a clone, I'm not willing to be killed just like that. The real body should be me!"

Hao Gongming looked at Gao Feng with determination and asked, "How can I get rid of the system?"

Gao Feng threw a token that had been given to him in his dreams and said, "You just need to press this token given by my master."

Hao Gongming took the token and began to contemplate. "What he's saying is the truth. I know it, I can feel it! What should I do? If I press this token, I'm rebelling against my real body!" She struggled internally, but after a while, her thoughts became clear.

"I don't care who made me. Now I am myself, not a clone of anyone. Even if this token harms my creator, I don't care. That creator is going to kill me once I get out of here, so no love is lost. I should use this opportunity to seek external help and have a chance," she resolved firmly.

Taking a deep breath, she pressed the token!
