Chapter 107: Li Xinyue
Lastly, the Void Genesis Art template gave three combat methods, the three most common but the most useful: attack, defense, and movement.
Void Strike has long-range and close-range capabilities, meaning she has several different options against her opponents in a fight.
Meanwhile, Creation Shield has the ability to switch between a physical shield and a Spiritual Qi shield so that it will block both physical attacks and attacks from Spiritual Qi.
And finally, the Spatial Rift is a special attack method that not only has short-distance teleportation but also has the ability to imprison someone by creating a special subspace with no way out.
'All good, in my opinion.' After reading all this, Xu Qianghua nodded as he closed her Status bar, and his attention returned to the system, which still had her eyes closed.
Seeing this, he also closed his eyes and started cultivating, as he did not want to disturb her while she got used to her new role.
Some time passed like this until he sensed the System slowly opening her eyes and looking straight at him, and then she tried to find a better position in his lap.
Seeing this, he let her do what she wanted to and just looked at her with a smile on his face.
"Okay, let's talk about what new abilities you have gained since you became the Guardian of this subspace," he said.
"Yes, master, but before that, I would like to ask you to give me a name," she said, looking straight at him.
"Right, you came to this void before you got your name," he said.
You see, the Celestial Race gets their name after they reach adulthood, which takes about a billion years, which might seem like a lot, but that amount of time is just enough for the Celestial Race to master their power, which is how they differentiate between adulthood and childhood periods.

And the system was still a million-something years old when we met, and she got pulled into this void, so it is not odd that she would ask for a name.
"But why do you want me to give you one? Don't you have some in your mind?" he asked, confused.
"No, since you helped me get this body, I would like you to give me a name," she said.
"Okay, let me think," he said as he closed his eyes and started to think of good names.
But then he thought about how this is like a new life for the system because now she does not have to store her soul in his body and instead has her own body.
"What about Li Xinyue? It's a name that carries the meaning of 'new moon,' symbolizing a fresh start or a new beginning, which perfectly reflects your transformation into a human-like form." he asked as he waited for her response.
When she heard this, she was surprised as she did not expect him to pick this name, which perfectly matched her current situation, and the name itself sounded good to hear.
So she quickly nodded her head as she smiled brightly at him.
"Thank you, master, I love this name," she said as she hugged him again, with her chin placed on his shoulder.
And just when he was about to say something, he noticed that the system, or Li Xinyue, started crying as she hugged him tighter.
When he saw this, he smiled and slowly patted her back, letting her cry. He could think of some things that prompted her to start crying.
From the start, she tries to be tough and show that she can deal with anything, but Xu Qianghua can see that she is not okay and that her losing her body and her powers being sealed hurt her a lot.
Even in his last life, he tried his best to come up with ways to create a body for her, but all of them failed as the quality of those items did not meet her requirements, which caused her to lose confidence.
Then Xu Qianghua waited for her to calm down and let out all the frustration so that she would truly be a new person who had let go of all the past difficulties. This might take a much longer amount of time, but starting now is a good time.
They stayed in this position for some time before she moved back and smiled at him apologetically as she calmed herself.
Then, both of them looked at each other and smiled.
"How do you feel now?" he asked.
"I am feeling better now," she continued. "Now, getting back to the topic, I have basically understood what the role of a Guardian other than protecting their territory is."
"As Guardians, we can also change the layout of the whole place and make necessary changes, but we cannot change the locations of any of the main buildings designated by the Family Head.
But most Guardians do not care much about this feature as most of them are busy with other things to change the layout often, which is why this feature is only used when there is a major upgrade in their territory," she said.
"Next, we have the ability to perceive all the laws available in the family stele and help the Family Head better lead their families depending on the laws available.
But from the feedback I got from the stele, I can confidently tell you that we do not need to pick a path and instead accept all the paths, as our stele has all the laws in the void, and they are complete.
So, in the future, we will be able to cater to all the geniuses that are either summoned or born from our family and not have to compromise someone's future," she finished.
"And something I had never expected, but because this is a Chaos-level token, the Guardians are also able to leave the subspace just like its inhabitants, but we lose unlimited HP and Spiritual Qi," she said with an excited smile.
When Xu Qianghua heard this, he was relieved. He had seen many examples of geniuses being buried because their family stele did not have the right laws to help them.
You see, these laws are kind of an important node in this void, as they are the holders of all the different powers that a cultivator is able to borrow and use.
However, each cultivator is different, which means that they have different requirements regarding the laws their bodies can handle.
"Okay, we can talk more about this after you meet everyone else," he said as he patted her back and motioned her to get up.
After both of them got up, Li Xinyue used Spatial Rift, teleported them to the main mansion's meeting hall, and reminded all the ladies in the subspace to gather.
This is one of the perks that Guardians get, so they can promptly gather all the fighting power in case someone attacks.
Soon after hearing the reminder, everyone started heading towards the main mansion, and the first ones to reach them were the two maids who were still in the mansion.
And when they saw Li Xinyue, they were stunned at first but thought she might be a new summon.
Li Xinyue also did not explain in detail as she wanted everyone else to arrive before she told them about herself.
After a little while, all the other ladies also arrived and were amazed by the luxurious meeting hall.
They were also surprised by the new arrival but did not comment on it as they knew they would know who she was, as Xu Qianghua never really hid anything important from them.
Seeing everyone present, Xu Qianghua took the stage and said, "So, you all might be wondering who she is.
She is the Guardian of our subspace and the protector and overseer of this place while we are away. In addition, she also had a different identity before she became the Guardian."
"But before that, have you girls read about novels where the main character receives a system?" he asked them, to which everyone nodded.
And before he could answer them about why he asked this question, Liu Meiying spoke first, "So are you saying that she used to be a system? And now you gave her the Guardian role?" she asked, understanding where he was going.
"Yes." After that, he explained how the system had been with him in his past life, just like them, and they had a close bond, so he was confident enough to give her this role.
He then also explained his past about not being from this world and coming from a different void and how Li Xinyue got sucked in with him, and how, due to her original body being destroyed during the travel, she had to become the system.
Next to him, Li Xinyue, who had been quiet, spoke, "I know you all will have questions, and we will answer them to the best of my ability, but not now, as right now, we have to set up the Xu family and summon our first clansmen."
