"This can’t be disclosed." Caicai frantically shook its head.
Even though Caicai was unwilling to share, the item it produced had already given Xiao Jinsheng the answer.
Even if it’s not the Interstellar World, it’s still a high-tech advanced dinsion.
Thinking of Caicai’s identity as a system, Xiao Jinsheng took out the Flower of Hope given by the Terminal and asked Caicai, "Do you know what this is?"
"Superpower Origin," Caicai imdiately recognized the true nature of the Flower of Hope. "If you want to awaken a superpower, you need the Superpower Origin. Those who awaken multiple superpowers have multiple Superpower Origins naturally within them."
"Speaking of which..." Caicai glanced at Xiao Jinsheng and adopted a serious expression, "Why is your superpower forcibly awakened as spiritual power?"
"What do you an?" Xiao Jinsheng asked, shocked and suspicious.
"Logically speaking, people on the Mist Continent at the very least have one Superpower Origin, allowing them to awaken one superpower. As for what superpower gets awakened, that depends on individual comprehensive physical talent," Caicai said, stroking its chin with a deeply thoughtful expression. "Your superpower—spiritual power—clearly indicates that soone intervened during the awakening process and violently altered the superpower you were supposed to gain."
"All the females in this world have spiritual power as their superpower," Xiao Jinsheng pointed out.
"That’s impossible," Caicai was shocked. "Everyone has different innate talents; how could all females awaken the sa superpower—spiritual power?"
As it spoke, Caicai’s gaze fell on Yu Yunxiao and the others present.
"I see plenty of variety in male beast superpowers."
"Then that ans all female superpower awakenings were influenced externally and forcibly changed to spiritual power," Xiao Jinsheng thought, already narrowing down the suspects responsible for the underhanded ddling.
Even though Caicai was still confused about the situation, upon seeing Xiao Jinsheng’s determination to eliminate the Terminal, it started to make conjectures.
Caicai exclaid, "Was it the Terminal’s doing?"
"When I sent you here, I thought the females in this world were treated quite well," Caicai hurriedly explained.
"Treated well." Xiao Jinsheng laughed coldly, her gaze settling on Caicai’s innocent deanor. It made her hand itch with the urge to swat the system. "You sent here to play the role of the evil supporting character, yet you claim it’s a good deal!"
"What role as an evil supporting character? What are you talking about?" Caicai was utterly baffled.
With those present being her close allies, Xiao Jinsheng decided not to hide the truth anymore.
She reached out to grab the back of Caicai’s collar and spoke as she dug up past grievances. "You not only ssed up the Host selection but also sent to this Apocalypse World. What’s worse, I’m stuck playing the part of an evil supporting character."
"You must have read too many novels—where’s the ’transmigration into a novel’ you’re talking about? I rely mistook you for soone else at the beginning, but this world truly exists," Caicai protested in innocence.
It pointed sequentially to Que Zelian, Mo Jiao, Su Ye, Huaiqing, and Yu Yunxiao. "Back then, these five n—you wanted them, and I arranged for all of them."
Upon hearing this, the five n whose nas were called looked at Xiao Jinsheng with eyes that sparkled with intrigue.
Only Li and Shi Xie, with expressions of grievance, asked Xiao Jinsheng in unison, "With five slots available, how could you not choose us?"
While Chen Yunji, who still hadn’t figured out the backstory, looked on, confused, unable to make sense of the situation.
"What ’I wanted’—you directly assigned them to ," Xiao Jinsheng retorted with a sneer. "You even claid they were bodyguards, but I was thrown straight into the evil supporting character storyline, with a finale where we all et our doom."
"Impossible, impossible," Caicai shook its head repeatedly. "I was compensating you, not trying to kill you. This is a real world; there are no scripts involved."
"The heroine lives next door to . Isn’t this transmigration into a novel? Isn’t this a script?" Xiao Jinsheng fired back.
On one side, Xiao Jinsheng and Caicai each clung to their respective argunts—one interrogating, the other confused.
Que Zelian eventually spoke up to intervene. "How about you two share the details of your perceptions? After all, Xiao Jinsheng’s mory isn’t complete."
Xiao Jinsheng thought this suggestion made sense.
Her mory was fragnted; she didn’t even know how many tis Bai Yan had modified it.
When Xiao Jinsheng and Caicai compared notes, they discovered very few points were consistent.
"Excluding the fragnts I recalled because of Li, according to my initial mory when I arrived, I thought I transmigrated here in May this year—not even three months ago," Xiao Jinsheng explained.
"What do you an three months? When I sent you here, you were three years old," Caicai countered.
"Three years old and attending university?" Xiao Jinsheng found Caicai’s statent outright absurd.
"Ti flows differently on various dinsional planes, and so do lifespans," Caicai elaborated. "For instance, in your original world, you’d already reached adulthood. But upon entering this world, your age adjusted to three years old due to the energy influence during dinsional transit. Your body automatically corrected to match the appropriate form and age."
"That’s possible?" Xiao Jinsheng was surprised—so surprised that she scarcely reacted, murmuring, "So I ca to this world when I was three and have already lived fifteen years here on the Mist Continent?"
"To be exact, fifteen years and ten months," Caicai clarified.
This prompted even deeper confusion from Caicai. "Also, what’s this ’transmigration into a novel’ talk about? This is a real world; there’s no ’transmigration into a novel.’"
"Based on the information you provided , I transmigrated into a novel. You even gave the original plot of the book," Xiao Jinsheng said as she uploaded the entire original storyline directly into the Star Map.
Caicai, being a system, promptly created a fake Star Map account and joined Xiao Jinsheng’s group chat.
At that mont, not only Xiao Jinsheng and Caicai but also eight other n saw the plot of the original novel.
"The earlier parts align with reality," Mo Jiao quickly skimd through the plot. "The deviation starts with the scene where you sold to the black market."
In the original storyline, Xiao Jinsheng sold Mo Jiao to the black market and didn’t rescue him.
Mo Jiao barely escaped with his life, forming an alliance with four other n, with one of them delivering the final blow to Xiao Jinsheng, leading to mutual destruction.
In reality, Xiao Jinsheng did sell Mo Jiao but rescued him later that sa day, along with Yu Yunxiao.
This was the pivotal mont when the real storyline completely diverged from the original book’s plot.
Caicai silently processed the original plotline uploaded by Xiao Jinsheng.
"If I didn’t transmigrate into a novel, then where did this original storyline co from?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.
Caicai didn’t directly answer her question but instead spoke with certainty, "There is a system operating within the Mist Continent."
Xiao Jinsheng’s gaze subtly flickered, waiting for Caicai’s subsequent explanation without imdiately responding.
"I’ve told you before—the Mist Continent is a real world; you didn’t transmigrate into a novel," Caicai stated with a snort. "In the original book plot you shared, I can clearly see the encoding from another system."
"I can confidently say that what you believe is the original book plot was written by that other system."
"Written by a system?" Xiao Jinsheng murmured in disbelief.
"Yes, written by a system—and even serialized," Caicai said, pointing out the update tistamps within the plot.
Xiao Jinsheng checked the Star Map and found it utterly ridiculous.
Fifteen years of serialized content, with updates occurring as quickly as every two weeks, and no later than two months—almost perfectly aligning with the cooldown period of Bai Yan System’s mory modification ability.
"Your mory must have been altered," Caicai deduced based on the book’s update tistamps, identifying the anomaly with Xiao Jinsheng.
After cross-referencing the tistamps, Caicai concluded, "The novel was updated 343 tis over fifteen years, which ans your mory was modified 343 tis as well—on average, once every sixteen days."
