Chapter 143: The Ancient Savage World, Long Aotian

"You haven't explained yet what it means to defy Heaven."

Ye Luoying urged.

"No hurry, no hurry." Aruo raised his finger and nodded, "Just listen to me and tell you slowly."

"Our ancestor, um, according to our master, might be a good-natured person with a bad temper."

He has an incredibly bad temper, but he is actually the kindest person in the world.

Aruo didn't quite believe what her master said. She felt that her master had a filter for the people she admired, but she didn't. However, there was one thing her master said that made sense.

"He is not a good person in the universal sense. After creating such an astonishing technique, he would not think about how to achieve immortality through it. Instead, he would use this method to return the energy of heaven and earth to all living beings. To give back is to return the right path."

"To return what is borrowed is the right way..." Ye Luoying murmured, as if he was thinking about something.

The world is like an inn, and I am a mere traveler. If Heaven bestows a gift, I must hope for a higher and greater reward. Ye Luoying suddenly understood that being born with Supreme Bones in this world was a great mission bestowed by Heaven, a life born amidst calamity, a ray of hope in a desperate situation.

A surge of ambition suddenly arose in his heart. He would not shy away from any challenge. He was eager to try and yearn for a battle with the heavens. He wanted to reach the summit that no one could see and witness with his own eyes the legendary infinite scenery.

Aruo looked at his expression and half of her heart fell back into her stomach. She knew that Gu Jingyao would not hold a grudge against her anymore.

She helped Gu Jingyao partly to repay a favor and partly for her own good cause, so she also had her own selfish motives and calculations.

Aruo thought to himself complacently: I really have a good vision! I want to prove to my master that this bet I made will definitely win the battle. Even if the Xiantian Sect has been planning for thousands of years, the Sect Master has been a chess player for thousands of years, and I am afraid he has never seen such tricks as hers.

She wanted to use Ye Luoying, the piece that had escaped her fate, to overturn the chessboard and prove her own way. The way of chess, fighting against heaven and against people, is full of endless joy.

"Jie Tian is to use the luck of the sky to break the sky, and the way to go against the sky is to use human strength to the extreme to break the cage." Aruo said with a smile.

"Jie Tian is based on the lives of all living beings, while Ni Tian is only one person. Suddenly, I see that Jie Tian is far more powerful than Ni Tian. Therefore, the Xian Tian Sect has a long tradition that has lasted for thousands of years, while my Shattered Star Pavilion borrowed the energy of the great sect and retreated after Xian Tian. Only then did the great era emerge, so now we are far inferior."

The words were high-sounding, but Ye Luoying could hear the essence of Aruo's words. Translated, the Broken Star Pavilion often couldn't find successors willing to endure hardships, so when talent dwindled, they joined the Celestial Heaven Sect to survive and develop a backroom. When they found a promising talent, they announced their departure, and the cycle continued...

Ye Luoying twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself that no wonder Aruo joined the Xiantian Sect so smoothly. With these two origins, no one would doubt it if the Shattered Star Pavilion changed its name and said it was a branch of the Xiantian Sect.

Moreover... with this style of behavior, I'm afraid that the Xiantian Sect has never taken this small Shattered Star Pavilion seriously. Even if it was established by that person in the beginning, the incompetent A Dou is always looked down upon by everyone.

Aruo's expression remained unchanged. No matter what the truth was, the Broken Star Pavilion had successfully survived until now, which meant it had already defeated countless sects.

"It's beyond human power, how can we do it?" Ye Luoying asked.

"I don't know either." Aruo answered honestly and confidently, "There's nothing we can do. The master left without writing down a single word, but we believe that with his talent and genius, this path will definitely work."

...So, you have persisted for so many years relying on the words of that unknown master, whose success is uncertain.

Ye Luoying suddenly became curious about this ancestor. What kind of person could make the disciples of Shattered Star Pavilion follow his lead and continue to search for him until now with just one sentence?

well……

A sigh sounded, "Who!" Ye Luoying's expression froze, and he looked around vigilantly while holding a talisman in his hand.

After a few breaths, nothing happened.

Aruo held her chin with her hand and said, "I didn't sense anyone else's presence." She didn't notice anything unusual just now.

After staring at the void for a long time, Ye Luoying said calmly, "Maybe I'm too sensitive."

The system, whose true body was hidden in the gap between reality and illusion, breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, its data flow stopped for a moment, and it truly experienced what humans said was the feeling of "being scared to death."

Alas... This time it held back its sigh, still feeling very sad.

Since the day the host was brought back to the Xiantian Sect, the white-haired leader did something unknown, and the connection between it and the host was almost completely severed, leaving only a piece like a silk thread. This had never happened before, and the system almost crashed on the spot.

It submitted a letter for help, but there was no news from the headquarters. In desperation, it had to enter the world in this posture and follow Xiaolong Aotian, hoping that with Xiaolong Aotian's luck, it could find the host and find the cause of the error.

But it never expected that the host would actually lose his memory. Logically, the host's soul was protected by a contract with it, and its memory information would not be easily altered. However, it was unknown how the leader of the Xiantian Sect had done it, and the host's memory had indeed been tampered with. It did not dare to recognize the host easily.

Memory is the cornerstone of self-identity, the fragment that holds emotions, and is closely tied to the power of the Self. The system dares not act rashly. Once memory collapses, doubts about one's own existence arise, leading to either immediate schizophrenia or, in severe cases, the Dao's backlash, resulting in immediate death.

This is also why the system has never imprisoned Gu Lingnan's memories of this world. It is the anchor that stabilizes her self and the guarantee that she will not get lost. But now, this harbor is shrouded in fog, hidden in the ocean of subconsciousness. This is really...

The system wanted to sigh again. For now, the best solution is for the host to remember it bit by bit.

Perhaps, it should consider whether to confront Xiaolong Aotian...

The system hesitated for a long time, still unable to make a decision. It also listened to the conversation between Aruo and Xiaolong Aotian, but there were some secrets in it...

"Senior Sister, goodbye."

Ye Luoying walked back to his own courtyard, which was right next to Luo Nan's courtyard. He had deliberately exchanged this with other disciples for this courtyard. Passing by the confined door, Ye Luoying slowed down his pace a bit, but did not stop. He casually glanced at the lush plants outside the door, then pushed open the door of his own courtyard and walked in.

Logically, he enjoys the treatment of a personal disciple, and the sect will assign one or two boys to take care of the affairs in the courtyard. Although it is called a small courtyard, it is actually almost like a paradise with abundant spiritual energy. There are space array patterns engraved in the courtyard, and there is a lot of secrets inside.

But Ye Luoying did not like being served by others, nor did she like the presence of outsiders in the courtyard, so she refused this benefit.

When he returned to the courtyard where he was alone, he picked up the teapot and made tea for himself. The clear tea flowed out from the spout of the pot, reflecting a small rainbow under the sun. Before the tea was cold, the "person" he was waiting for could no longer hold back and jumped out.

"Hello, little... ahem, Gu Jingyao, you can call me System."

"System," Ye Luoying asked lightly. He brewed another pot of tea and pushed the teacup lightly to the chair opposite.

His face was calm, and he was not surprised that this stranger of unknown origin called out his real name.

"Hi! Let me introduce myself. I'm the system, a good partner of your sister and elder sister!" The system tried hard to straighten its non-existent chest, trying to make itself look more reliable.

Hearing the word "sister", Ye Luoying paused slightly. He raised his head and asked, "So, the prying eyes I have felt for the past three years are all from you?"

The system felt a little guilty, as it hadn't expected Little Dragon Aotian to be so sensitive. It muttered, "Should be, should be."

"You seem afraid of me"

Ye Luoying asked casually, but secretly used her ability to explore the surroundings again. As expected, she found nothing again.

If a killer had this kind of latent ability, he would be truly invincible.

The system froze for a moment. Could it say it was because someone had cast a heavy shadow on it? But it simply shook its core chip, which served as its heart, and said with forced composure, "No, no."

Help, host, help!

The system put on a mask of pain, attempting to control the conversation. "I came to you to discuss something about Su...your sister. Please believe me, our goals are the same."

Ye Luoying did not respond to this question, but asked: "What is the relationship between you and the thing on Gu Yuanming's body? Do you have the same origin?"

Hearing this unexpected question, the system's surging data flow suddenly stagnated. It was horrified: "You, you, you know Gu Yuanming and the [System]!"

"【System】" Ye Luoying raised an eyebrow, "So, you two are indeed connected."

"No! I have nothing to do with that fake [system]!" The system retorted hastily. It was a regular employee, completely different from an illegal employee. Moreover, that [system] wasn't a system at all!

Wow, it's so easy to quip.

Ye Luoying looked at the naive boy in surprise. Nowadays, even a three-year-old child is not so easy to deceive.

He smiled faintly: "I heard the conversation between Gu Yuanming and the [System]..."

Before he could finish his words, the system shocked himself by revealing, "So, you can hear the conversation between me and the host!"

Ye Luoying just smiled and said nothing.

Damn it, I got cheated!

The system only then realized belatedly that Gu Jingyao definitely could not hear the conversation between it and the host, otherwise it would have known who it was long ago.

Ye Luoying smiled slyly and said, "I just heard the conversation between Gu Yuanming and that person before he died."

The system is messed up, and the little glutinous rice ball has grown into a black-hearted dumpling, stepping into three pits at a time.

It decided not to embarrass itself anymore and confronted Ye Luoying directly, lying down and waiting for the boss to take it away.

After hearing its statement, Ye Luoying pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that my sister once saw a scene that looked like the future in the Luo family's gate?"
