Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Xianhu suddenly turned around and walked away. After giving Li Yunmu a rough idea about his intentions, he quickly left without saying another word.
Li Yunmu massaged the back of his neck and asked in a profound tone, “System, don’t you intend to say anything about Zhang Xianhu’s way of thinking? If you see happily agreeing with him, you shouldn’t think that I believe him. If I didn’t know about your existence, then perhaps I might have believed that I am a prisoner.”
[Eh?]
The system issued an average ‘eh’ in a drawn out ton as if rhetorically asking Li Yunmu about what he ant.
This was the first ti apart from the ti it showed viciousness that the system displayed sothing like a personality, intelligence, or the human way of thinking. Unlike before, it hadn’t simply made conjunction like it had been doing from the ti it started following Li Yunmu as a tool. Back then, it had seed like nothing more than an opportunity for him to grow stronger.
However, the system’s action didn’t obtain any reply from Li Yunmu, so after a short while, it said, [Host thinks that the prisoner in his plane is ? And its existences like that were imprisoned all that ti ago?]
Li Yunmu still didn’t reply to the system. He only let a cold sneer slowly show up on his face.
After Li Yunmu learned about the prisoner theory, he had been able to make a rough guess about what sort of existence the system was. Even if it wasn’t a formidable existence from the first batch of prisoners, it was definitely a product made by those people.
In the past, Li Yunmu had been extrely weak, to the point that when he had reached the peak of the Fifth Dinsion, he didn’t dare to casually rise to the Sixth Dinsion. Therefore, he was completely dependent on the system, following the most optimum plan made by it with all his power.
After carefully thinking about it though, he could see that the so-called most risk-free and secure plan which would allow him to obtain the highest amount of rewards wasn’t actually designed particularly for him. Although he had indeed obtained many opportunities and his temperant had undergone many changes, who said that the system didn’t have any other options? If it did, who would be willing to be soone’s puppet?
At the battle with God Undercurrent, the system had taken temporary control of Li Yunmu’s body. Furthermore, after the Zhang Xianhu inford him about the prisoner theory, his vigilance toward system, which he had relinquished just recently, rose to new heights!
[Like I chose you, you also chose . Whether I made you or it was soone else, when the right ti cos, you will naturally learn about this matter. Therefore, even if you want to trick , it is aningless. Even if I told you everything, so regulatory powers would eliminate the words falling from my mouth or perhaps they would change your mory,] the system stated in a cold voice.
It was paused before continuing. [Be at ease. Because of your present level, this is all that you can know. I told you this, first, so you would know about it, and second, to remind you to not investigate further.]
“You say this, and I should just trust you?” Li Yunmu asked, his brows creasing slightly.
The system’s deviousness far exceeded his imagination. Until that day, he hadn’t known the specific application of the energy values which the system provided him. Hadn’t they always been so aningless numbers fabricated by the system in order to slowly increase his cultivation, allowing him to mature step by step?
It has to be known that from the beginning, the system had always acted in a manner to follow the rule of conservation of energy. The monsters hunted by Li Yunmu and his shadows would obtain him experience and ability points, and if he went into the dinsional battlefield to fight other people, he would obtain space elents. And these numbers changed without any logic!
After the battle against God Undercurrent, he had felt as if his body was about to wither up. Moreover, the price he had to pay wasn’t limited to this. He had yet to obtain the cultivation thod which would provide him the greatest assistance and the one he craved the most—the Great Devouring Technique, one of the three thousand dao!
What exactly did those numbers an and why did the system need those things? Also, where did the extrely formidable cultivation thods co from? Li Yunmu had a strong desire to learn about all of these, but was unable.
Humans mainly fear the unknown.
Even though Zhang Xianhu was formidable, the mont he was in front of Li Yunmu, he was sure that this person would be unable to kill him. Therefore, he deliberately maintained indifference while conversing with him, but facing a mysteriously formidable existence like the system, Li Yunmu was sowhat panicked.
He urgently wanted to know the truth about the system. At least its background! Even the tiniest bit would do!
[When you will truly stand above this world, you will possess the qualifications to discuss these matters with .]
The system kept its mouth sealed regarding its origins. After a long while though, it added a bit more. [The sixty-six projected planes are indeed a large prison, but you aren’t the prisoner, and neither am I. For now, you don’t have the qualifications to know about the existence imprisoned here.]
After those words, a hint of fatigue appeared in the system’s voice. [Alright, I am tired. Since you already know about so matters, I won’t hide them from you. I am indeed a living being, but I don’t have my own body. I also need to rest, so if there is nothing more, I will go rest.]
“I still have one final question.” Li Yunmu slowly blinked his eyes and asked in a heavy tone, “Are you going to harm ?”
[Would you destroy the skyscraper which you built with painstaking effort for no reason?] the system asked rhetorically.
After a split second, Li Yunmu thought he heard it angrily curse. [Moron.]
After this, the system turned completely silent, clearly illustrating that it wasn’t interested in conversing anymore.
“....”
Li Yunmu waved his hand behind his body, and the twenty-three shadows pretending to be quasi deity level experts began hacking in the surroundings of Lucky Wind City.
Li Yunmu stood silently in the air for a mont as his expression turned gloomier and gloomier. The conversation with the system had not only lightened the suspicions in his heart, he even felt as if a large, formless hand had enveloped him.
Those who stood at the peak of the true world, were they Ancient Gods? Or was there an even higher realm?
What sort of existence was the system? Or would it be better to ask what sort of existence had created it?
What exactly did the system an when it said ‘Whether it was who made you or soone else, when the right ti cos, you will understand everything’?
Those words kept echoing in Li Yunmu’s mind, causing his heart to beco increasingly heavier, and the fog in his mind beca increasingly denser.
