Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-1354

As the person who screwed up here, Ning could only give the bad news first. He told Farhalys everything ranging from how he was already dying to how he would never reach the other planet before his death.

Everything he had done, while noble, would have ultimately turned out to be a waste of time.

"No…" the Constellation refused to believe it. "That is not possible."

"Is it not?" Ning asked the Will. "How many people still remember you, Farhalys? While you were working to save this small group of humans, how many of the other billions and trillions of people did you help remember you?"

"I…" the Constellation could understand the situation. He simply refused to believe it.

"It cannot be," he said. "How can it be that everything I did was a failure? These people… they will die? Just because I am dying? They do not deserve this."

Ning felt a pang of sympathy for the dying Constellation. Even when it heard about its own upcoming demise, its heart only worried about the existence of the humans aboard the spaceship.

Ning patted the constellation on its shoulders. "You are the kindest Constellation I have ever met, Farhalys," he said. "I wish all the others were like you."

Farhalys simply sat on the floor of the meeting room, looking distantly with its void-like eyes.

Ning sat down beside him as well and the two of them sat on the floor in silence.

After a long time, Farhalys' head moved and he stared at the human that had fallen to the ground. He could tell that they were alive, but more than that he couldn't tell right away.

"What did you do to them?" he asked Ning.

"They're just unconscious," Ning said. "Don't worry, they'll wake up and forget about everything that happened in here, and will go right back to normal."

"So you didn't mean to kill them?" he asked.

"No," Ning shook his head as he answered. "I don't kill humans unless they deserve it. These ones certainly don't."

"What are you exactly?" Farhalys asked. "I've never heard of anyone like you. You're certainly not someone like me."

"I'm the holder of the Energy System. Does that name truly mean nothing to you?" Ning asked.

"No, not really," Farhalys said. "It just sounds like just another system. Should it be something I know about?"

Ning chuckled a little. "Just another system huh?" he asked and didn't say anything.

Farhalys realized that he wasn't going to get any answer, so he turned back toward the human. "What do I do with them?" he asked.

"Oh no, they will wake up on their own. You don't have to do any—"

"No," Farhalys quickly added. "I meant what do I do with the humans now that I know that they are doomed? I can't just turn around and return to where they came from. I was taking them to the closest uninhabited hospitable planet I could find, but now I might have to take them to the closest planet with civilization and have them live there somewhere."

"Oh, don't worry about the humans," Ning said with a small smile on his face.

"How can I not?" Farhalys said. "I did everything for them already. When I know something bad is going to happen to them, I can only worry."

"The reason I say don't worry is because not all bad is going to happen to them," Ning said. "Something good has already happened to them."

"Something good?" Farhalys asked. "What?"

"Me!" Ning pointed to himself. "I am here, so no one will have to worry about anything. Not even you."

"Me?" Farhalys gave a confused look. "Aren't I dying?"

"You are, but I will make it so that you see these humans settled before you die. That is the good news that I wanted to share with you."

Farhalys was stunned. He found it difficult to believe such a thing, but then it was Ning, a man who had come out of nowhere and nearly killed him. There would have to be more he could do besides just killing others.

"What can you do exactly?" Farhalys asked.

"I'm not sure just yet, but I will do my best," Ning said, slowly standing up. Suddenly, his figure started changing, his skin growing darker and darker to match the color of the humans aboard the spaceship.

At the same time, his clothes also changed to match them as well. He snapped his finger next and everyone who had fallen down floated back onto their seat and looked as though they had frozen mid-sentence.

"Don't use your power for anything again," Ning advised the Constellation before putting a simple illusion on him to make him look how he had been beforehand. "I'll go look around the ship to see how I can help it. You finish the meeting I caught you in the middle of."

"Wait!" Farhalys quickly spoke to stop Ning before he walked out the door.

"What?" Ning turned around and asked.

"You said I can't use any of my powers?" Farhalys asked. "Then, what about the time dilation I put on the inside of the ship? Will you handle that?"

"That…" Ning scratched his head sheepishly. "I don't think I'm capable of doing that." It used up too much energy if we were to use it. That was the last thing Ning wanted from the entire thing.

"Then how…?" Farhalys asked.

"I'll think of something," Ning said. He had a general idea of what he could do. He just had to go check if he could implement it. If not, he would have to see what else he could do by asking the system.

"Wait!" Ning was about to leave when the Constellation stopped him again. Ning turned around with an annoyed look. "What now?" he asked.

"Your name…" the Constellation asked. "What do I call you?"

"Oh," Ning realized. "I haven't made any introduction, have I? I'm Ning Ruogong. You can call me Ning."
