Chapter 65 Was he playing Werewolf?
Upon hearing Hakimi's words, Cheng Xiao instantly perked up.
The Heavenly Dao said that it was He who intervened and helped him stop the system from wiping him out.
Now Hakimi is saying that he used his authority to help him resolve the erasure.
Is it possible that he is simply too powerful, and the system has no way to deal with him?
Cheng Xiao felt like he was playing Werewolf.
Heaven says he is a "prophet," the system says he is a "prophet," and his task is to find out who the real "wolf" is, or whether both are.
Cheng Xiao trusted neither this system of unknown origin nor the thing that called itself "Heavenly Dao".
He clearly only wanted to ascend to immortality.
Why is it so difficult?
"Well, thank you very much. I originally wanted to withstand the annihilation and see if I was tougher or the system was tougher," Cheng Xiao replied expressionlessly, without mentioning the Heavenly Dao.
Hakimi chuckled awkwardly, "Let's not, let's save our energy for the next dungeon..."
As the two were chatting, the familiar electronic screen reappeared in front of Cheng Xiao.
[System Notification: The current scenario, "Volume Two: The Gentle Contract Beneath the Dragon Abyss," has been completed. Generating your instance settlement report...]
Mission failed.
[The host shattered the system's pre-set gentle and healing script, using extreme cruelty to rebuild the proud spirit of the broken dragon, leading it to slaughter its blood relatives and seize the Dragon King's inheritance. Facing the ultimate dead end, the host stepped onto the throne alone, igniting heavenly lightning with its Mahayana divine soul, and using the ultimate death escape of annihilation of body and soul to brand an unsolvable knot of reason and an obsession with immortality in the heart of the true dragon. In the end, the throne was destroyed along with the host's stubbornness, and the dragon girl could never return to her throne. From then on, the Cangling Continent would never have the dragon race again.]
[Final Affection Level: Exceeded the Limit (Underlying Logic Collapsed, Data Overflow and Garbled Text)]
[System Evaluation: Living towards death, using pain to alleviate pain, using a merciless blade to cleave the dragon's scales, and then sacrificing one's soul to completely forge dependence, hatred, and love, shattering the laws of the world, and achieving a supreme demonic obstacle that transcends life and death.]
[Unlock CG (Golden Legend): Throne of Flesh and Blood, Lone Dragon Weeps Thunder]
Amidst the crumbling ruins of the deep sea and the annihilation of purplish-black filth, the ten-year-old Dragon Empress, clad in a pure gold gown, knelt in despair before her throne. Her hands clutched a handful of elusive white light, her long, silvery hair scattered wildly in the deathly stillness of the deep sea. At her feet, in the muddy water, lay the utterly crushed old dragon tendon. Her once proud, golden, vertical pupils now held only the emptiness and madness of a shattered faith.
"He removed her old shackles and cleansed the world of its filth, but he left nothing for himself; this true dragon, finally able to roam the heavens, ultimately fell into the eternal night abyss where he was no longer present, in its most brilliant sublimation."
[Settlement Reward Distribution]
[Fragment of Enlightenment Insights (Contaminated) x1. Once collected, one can disregard the laws... The Heavenly Dao has been corrupted, filled with mad ravings. After ascending, will one become mad or attain the true Dao?]
Cheng Xiao never expected that he would receive a reward even though he had failed his mission.
only......
Isn't this reward a bit... too targeted?
What does it mean that "the Way of Heaven has been corrupted"?
What does it mean that "ascension is madness"?
Does Heaven itself know this?
Well, it wasn't entirely without any gains.
"Withdraw the reward and exit the settlement." Cheng Xiao issued the command.
If he could, he really wouldn't want to take this reward with him.
[Rewards have been issued, and the system is currently exiting the system space... We look forward to the host's next exciting journey.]
After the electronic screen disappeared, Cheng Xiao's consciousness suddenly sank.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his room.
The first thing he did upon returning was to scan the entire Qingyun Sect with his divine sense.
What puzzled him was that the last dungeon only took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but this time it took him a full seven days!
Fortunately, he had told Chen Tianbao in advance that he was going into seclusion, and no one came to disturb him.
Cheng Xiao raised his hand, and a crystal shard appeared in his palm. However, the shard emitted a purplish-black aura, just like the Turbid Source, except that it did not have the aura that the Turbid Source should have.
This time, he didn't dare to act rashly. Instead, he placed the fragment directly in the storage space in the room and didn't even dare to let it enter his spiritual space.
After all, just watching it is extremely dangerous.
Cheng Xiao discovered that he had one more task to complete.
At first, he was just curious about the origin of the system, but now both the system and the Heavenly Dao claim to be "good people," and the system even directly uses mission rewards to say that the Heavenly Dao is the "wolf."
He even started to analyze the logic behind it.
"Take my advice for the next dungeon, otherwise when will we ever have enough fragments for ascension?" Hakimi said suddenly as Cheng Xiao put away the fragments.
Cheng Xiao ignored him and asked directly, "Are we ready for the next dungeon? When do we set off?"
The system may be unreliable, but the way of Heaven is not necessarily reliable either.
He could only continue with the dungeons, hoping to find more secrets in the next dungeon, just like the corrupted Throne of Flesh in the previous dungeon.
The system said that the Heavenly Dao is now corrupted, and he thought there was some truth to that.
Because a source of turbidity had indeed appeared in the Shenhe Prefecture where he was located, and the Heavenly Dao said that it could not handle it on its own.
"It's still early. You messed up the system in the last instance, the favorability ratings were all messed up, it'll take some time to fix." Hakimi sighed, accusing Cheng Xiao of his actions. "Although you wouldn't let me see it in the end, and I don't know what you did, you managed to get the system to erase you and push your favorability ratings past the peak of 100. I think you're pretty amazing, but..."
"But could you please not play so wildly next time? Waaah... This isn't playing a visual novel at all! This isn't how you play a visual novel!"
Hakimi clearly had no physical form, but Cheng Xiao felt that he had a feeling of wanting to cry but having no tears.
However, this had nothing to do with Cheng Xiao. He replied, "Then fix it as soon as possible, and let me know when it's done."
Hakimi sighed again: "Should I say you like to play, or you don't...?"
Cheng Xiao ignored the noise in his mind and walked out of the room, where he found that Chen Tianbao was still sending him a message outside.
"Immortal Venerable, come find me when you emerge from seclusion. The Demonic Sect has sent an envoy who insists on seeing you, saying he has important matters to discuss with you. We are not qualified, and I told him you were in seclusion, but he insists on waiting for you."
Upon seeing this report, Cheng Xiao began to investigate Chen Tianbao's location. Chen Tianbao was currently in the main hall of the Qingyun Sect, holding a meeting with his disciples.
It must be said that this sect leader is much more reliable than him; he hasn't been involved in matters below for a long time.
Since Chen Tianbao specifically mentioned it, he should give this sect leader some face.
"The Demonic Sect...?"
Cheng Xiao thought for a moment. It seemed like the last time he heard about the Demonic Sect was thirty years ago.
At that time, he had just broken through to the Mahayana stage, and all the righteous sects in the world invited him to eradicate the demonic sect.
However, he refused, since it had nothing to do with him.
The righteous sects didn't say anything about his refusal, since they couldn't defeat him, and the matter of eliminating the demonic sect was left unresolved.
So this time... the Demonic Sect has come to express their gratitude?
Isn't that a bit too late?
