My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

Chapter 246: Vital Enlightenment gone wrong

"So that's what happened…"

Vital Weapons.

Weapons made out of the strongest desire of a creature. Their ambitions would manifest as a form of power, a weapon for them to manipulate to their desires.

The Spirit's greatest desire in life was to witness the most perfect form of a living being—the epitome of living creation. To see the utmost limit of a lifeform. Thus, her Vital Weapon was a Mirror that could help her possess any lifeform she could defeat in will.

Fitting for her dream, if one asked Han Li.

But that alone was not the only factor that affected a Vital Weapon. A creature's desires would evolve as they lived more and more. When you were 10, you'd want a specific toy, but when you were 20, you'd want something else.

But after a certain point, most things would lose meaning to you, and some things would start to stand out. That one thing that stands out amidst all other things will end up being your true desire—the more life experience you have, the easier the Vital Weapon will be to unlock.

Vital Enlightenment. What was that?

Vital Enlightenment allowed a creature to live limitless lives. In each life, they would have one desire or the other that was more prominent than the others. In Han Li's countless lives within the Vital Enlightenment illusions, all other greater desires didn't matter other than his one true obsession.

Control life and death; be eternal.

In ALL of his lives, the desire was the same.

Han Li had an incredibly long and incredibly rich life experience, but he was not supposed to be able to awaken his memories early in the Vital Enlightenment's countless lives. But then again, he immediately 'woke' up inside that illusion every time at the start and realized it was all fake.

That was due to his special eyes.

That made his Vital Enlightenment even more profound.

The Vital Enlightenment was the forge; the person trapped inside was the blacksmith, and their growing desires in countless lives were the material. When all fused into one, a Vital Weapon could be built.

Within the forge, Han Li used his obsession and his sheer will to follow through with it as material, and through each and every one of his lives, his daughter's form became complete. She was a Vital Weapon, but due to all the weird aspects, she was alive too.

His daughter should have never existed. According to the normal way the Vital Enlightenment went, he should have never even 'died' inside once. But he had died countless times as much as he had lived.

Instead, due to his special eyes—Three Life Eyes—he kept living again and again and again and again and that changed the nature of his Vital Enlightenment. That made his dream solidify again and again too.

Even the expert in Vital Weapons—Munyu, the Spirit—was speechless. She didn't know why such a monstrous Vital Weapon was born, nor did she know what powers it held.

Ruo and Yue Li were just lucky sidekicks who ended up gaining their own Vital Weapons linked to their own life goals and desires.

Hua Yu and Liyue, who were also in the Vital Enlightenment, were not so lucky, and they got nothing other than some life experience.

His Vital Enlightenment thus came to pass as a weird and unexplainable phenomenon.

…

Currently, Han Li was seated on top of clear water reflecting the skies with a pearl necklace in his hand. Liyue, Yue Li, Li Yao, and Hua Yu went into the pearl necklace. It was a whole world inside it.

Han Li had wanted to do many things. He was a busy man, and he had a lot to take care of, but for now, he had no escape. He was dealing with the most troublesome of all issues.

The heart of two young maidens.

Han Fei and Ruo were seated on top of the clear lake. Both of them were tearful and hugged each other like they were seeing each other after a lifetime—and they were. The mother and daughter seemed to be speechless and just wanted to feel each other alive.

"Why don't you involve the dad, too?" Han Li asked, sighing.

Han Fei showed her tongue to him mischievously. "Who are you, beggar? Go away, shoo, shoo. We, mother and daughter, are having a moment here."

"You are my daughter too, and she is… my wife."

Ruo blushed like a ripe fruit. "I… I am not!" she said with the voice of a mosquito.

Han Li smirked.

He had tried to barge into the hug and just wrap his hand around them in an umbrella of warmth, but both of them—like mirror images—had made a weird face and pushed him away. Find your next tale on m-vl-em|p-yr

These white-haired devils were really identical to look at. Their expressions were one and the same. Ruo was more of a monk, though, and Han Fei was more of a vagrant warrior of the lands. But both were sure cast from the same thread, they had these disdainful but beautiful pair of eyes and crookedly fierce personalities.

And they had a knack for making light of him. Even his own mother didn't dare do that. "But well, I can only sigh," he brushed nonexistent dirt away from his sleeve. "I wonder if Ruo is not my wife. May I ask, do you know all the birthmarks on my body? Because I sure know where yours are."

Ruo hid her face in her daughter's neck. "I don't know your birthmarks!"

"Oh, the one just hidden between your thighs, that was your cutest mole," Han Li appeared beside them and leaned against Ruo's back.

Han Fei tried to push him away, but she was too weak. He smirked. Ruo growled. Han Fei coaxed her mother and defended, "Oi, dad, just because you are you, it doesn't mean you get to bully my mom. You understand?"

"Shut up, brat. I'll feed you to the sharks inside the water."

"Eek, harsh, old man. Mom," Fei Fei called, but Ruo placed a hand over her mouth. Ruo was so red. She really seemed like an awkward mess.

"Fei Fei…" Ruo said with a forced smile. "Don't call me mother…"

Han Fei was shocked. "What?"

Han Li warned, "What are you saying, Ruo? Don't say something you'd regret."

Ruo cursed under her breath. "Did I ask you?"

Han Fei shook her head. "I'll not call you anything else. Mother is mother."

Ruo huffed. "Do whatever. Put me inside the necklace, too. And Han Li, Big Sister Liyue is super duper mad at me for stealing her chance to have your first child. Mom didn't seem particularly pleased either. You better fix that."

"If I don't?" he teased.

"Han Fei will ignore you," Ruo coldly stated. Han Fei nodded readily.

Han Li waved the necklace half-heartedly, and Ruo vanished. He had decided to give her some time. Han Fei didn't wait for him to scold her either and vanished into his Empty Space. She was his Vital Weapon.

Unless he forced her not to, she could move in and out of him easily.

He sighed and looked around.

'This place,' he thought.

This vast, endless sea and its peculiarities. He had come here with a purpose, but for now, he blinked, and he, too, vanished into the necklace world.

For first, let's understand myself and my current situation.
