Chapter 53

Xiao Liunian led a cat and a white tiger pretending to be a cat as they foraged for food on the street.

After finishing foraging for food, we returned to the room to rest. The kitten needs to catch up on sleep; staying up late is not advisable.

Xiao Liunian put the cat on the bed and covered it with a blanket. It's really starting to look more and more like a real cat!

Xiao Liunian did not take a nap, but instead went to the table and began to sort out the information.

Xiao Liunian wrote down a new reason for his staying here on the paper—his body.

Xiao Liunian's current body is the result of his consciousness first entering Empress Liu's womb before he was born.

If I need to go home, do I need to abandon this body?

But if it's just a matter of abandoning the body, then the consciousness also left the body when I died, so why am I still here, starting a new cycle?

Xiao Liunian put a question mark after the word "body" with his pen.

Then Xiao Liunian wrote the two words "Tian Yang" on the paper. Why was it that Xiao Liunian only met Tian Yang in this one lifetime, and twice at that?

Xiao Liunian had also cultivated to these two levels in his previous life, so why hadn't he seen Tian Yang before?

Xiao Liunian wrote "system" next to the name Tian Yang and drew a question mark. Could it be because of the system?

The biggest variable this time is the emergence of two systems.

"Waiter!" Xiao Liunian called out. This System No. 02 probably knows the most.

Xiao Er pretended not to hear and continued to snuggle up with the calico cat to catch up on sleep.

Xiao Liunian slowly walked to the bedside and grabbed the little white tiger by the back of its neck.

Fate was grabbed by the back of the neck by Xiao Liunian, and the little white tiger had no choice but to get out of bed and start answering questions.

Xiao Liunian asked a question, and Xiao Er was responsible for answering it.

"Xiao Er, you said that I was bound to you a long time ago, so how did I come to this world? Did I come from my body or my consciousness?" This was Xiao Liunian's first question.

Xiao Liunian was certain that her consciousness had traveled to Tianji Star, but she had no memory of when she bound herself to System 02, which meant that there were gaps in her memory.

Therefore, regarding the question of whether his consciousness or body had traveled through time, Xiao Liunian believed that his previous judgment might have been wrong.

"Your consciousness and original body should currently be in your hometown, most likely in a coma," System 02 replied.

"Why did I come here?" This was Xiao Liunian's second question.

"The cause is temporarily determined to be a program error in the main system, which caused your consciousness to leave your body, bind to me, and then leave Earth."

"You will first go to a world of cultivation, but it is a completely unknown new world, and there are no related records in the system world at all."

"Later, because the system had sufficient energy at the time, I was able to contact the main system after many attempts."

"But for some reason, we need enough energy to return to Earth, so you and I signed an agreement."

"The agreement states that once you complete ten tasks issued by the system and earn enough points, the energy accumulated by the system will allow your consciousness to return to your body on Earth."

"Tianji Star is the first mission location, and the mission is to maintain world stability and safeguard world peace."

"But since this planet, or rather this universe, is the work of a trainee creator god, a trainee god!" Xiao Er emphasized the words 'trainee god' again.

"This 'trainee deity' likes to synthesize all sorts of theories and then project them into the universe he creates."

"This 'trainee god' creates a universe that is copied infinitely but controlled by the main universe, but no matter which universe it is, it will eventually be annihilated."

"Therefore, we need to find the main universe and prevent its annihilation, then the mission will be considered complete."

"However, during the consciousness transmission here, because the trainee deity imposed a 'powerful' cosmic protection program, we were treated as a virus attack." Xiao Er emphasized the word 'powerful'.

"To protect your consciousness, the system has initiated a protection program, which has depleted or even overdrawn the system's energy."

"However, the consciousness protection program is only half successful and half unsuccessful. The success is that the consciousness is preserved, while the failure is that your consciousness is broken into countless pieces and scattered in various copy universes."

"But your own consciousness is also very powerful. After you die in each universe, your consciousness will arrive in another universe before the start of another Xiao Liunian's life line, and then the consciousness will begin to merge."

"I don't really understand this either; logically speaking, it's something that should be impossible."

"So, Lin Mu, you yourself are quite special."

The system meticulously and thoroughly presented all the information it had compiled during this period.

Xiao Liunian remained silent for a long time after listening, her face expressionless, as if what System 02 was saying had nothing to do with her.

"Is this 'trainee deity' someone with connections?" Xiao Liunian asked, realizing that favoritism truly exists everywhere.

"Yes, he is the big boss's disciple. This big boss couldn't bear to see his disciple heartbroken because the universe he created was destroyed, so he asked the main god to intervene and repair the universe," System 02 said.

Therefore, the system realm where System 02 is located belongs to the Space Repair Department, and its business scope is quite extensive, Xiao Liunian thought to himself.

Xiao Liunian had a strong urge to kill someone and seek revenge on all the culprits who caused her to leave her hometown. She wanted to do anything that would make them wish they were dead!

"The objective of this mission, the universe created by this 'connected person,' includes several planets?" This was Xiao Liunian's third question.

“Two. The main component of this universe is a pair of planets, designed with reference to the Tai Chi symbol,” System 02 replied.

“So what if it’s plagiarism? Why talk about borrowing from others?” Xiao Liunian said.

"So what caused the universe to be annihilated?" This was Xiao Liunian's fourth question.

"Another planet is experiencing an energy imbalance and constant natural disasters, making it uninhabitable for humans. That's why they invaded this planet."

"But you can only escape temporarily and find peace for a while. After that, this planet will suffer constant natural disasters, then explode, and the universe will be annihilated," System 02 explained.

Xiao Liunian yawned. This story was so boring that it made him sleepy and completely dizzy. He decided to rest first, recharge his energy, and then think about other things later.

Who said to sleep at a certain time? Xiao Liunian needs to sleep right now.

"You don't have any other questions?" System 02 asked in surprise, having only asked four questions after picking it up!

"There's plenty of time. We can continue next time. What's the rush?" Xiao Liunian walked to the bedside, took off his shoes and outer robe.

Then I pulled the blanket over myself, closed my eyes, cleared my mind, and started to sleep!

System 02 wanted to grab Xiao Liunian, and it also wanted to lift Xiao Liunian by the back of the neck.

But just as it was about to reach out, it discovered that Xiao Liunian's hand was on the back of the calico cat's neck, which was in a deep sleep.

Fine, let's just go to sleep. Four questions are fine, we can ask them again next time. There's still plenty of time.

Xiao Liunian felt that her intuition was definitely right; this suddenly appearing waiter was absolutely interested in her cat.

The three of them—one human, one cat, and one tiger—slept until the sun began to peek out.

After breakfast, Xiao Liunian led his men to the Qingyan Army camp.

The current commander of the Qingyan Army is Xiang Yuan, a prized disciple of Grand Commandant Hu Xian.

Hu Xianyuan was originally the Governor-General of the Southeast and the Commander-in-Chief of the Qingyan Army. He served in the Southeast Province for many years, and during his tenure, the security work in the Southeast region was done in a decent and respectable manner.

In the second year after ascending the throne, Xiao Liunian transferred Hu Xian to the capital to serve as Grand Commandant, and at the same time ordered Xiang Yuan to take over as Governor-General of the Southeast and General of the Qingyan Army.

Xiang Yuan grew up in the southeastern province. He lost both his parents when he was young and grew up eating food from many families in the village. Later, in his teens, he joined the Qingyan Army by chance.

After joining the Qingyan Army, he steadily and gradually accumulated military merits.

Hu Xian met Xiang Yuan by chance and, after learning more about him, discovered that he had a remarkable past performance. Therefore, Hu Xian specially transferred Xiang Yuan to his side and cultivated him vigorously.

So Xiang Yuan began to follow Hu Xian to learn military strategy and practice martial arts secrets.

If Xiang Yuan was a brave soldier before, he became a general with the ability to command a region after he matured.

At the main gate of the Qingyan Army camp, Xiang Yuan led the main generals of the Qingyan Army to welcome Xiao Liunian.

"Your Majesty, we pay our respects!" Xiang Yuan led his generals in bowing.

This was the first time Xiang Yuan had seen Emperor Xiao Liunian, a fourteen-year-old girl, about the same age as his own child, with a cat perched on her shoulder and a small white tiger perched on the head of the horse she was riding.

Standing on horseback to Xiao Liunian's left was another woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old. Xiang Yuan knew that this was Cen Rou, the third daughter of Cen Jin, the commander of the Wuzhou army.

Standing on horseback to Xiao Liunian's right was Chai Xiong, the deputy commander of the imperial guards. This man exuded a chilling aura and possessed astonishing martial arts skills. He was promoted by Xiao Liunian after he ascended the throne.

Then came the hundred Imperial Guards who accompanied him, each of them looking imposing.

Compared to these people, Xiao Liunian, the core figure standing at the forefront, did not show any imposing presence. Instead, he appeared very approachable, accentuated by the kitten on his shoulder.

Xiang Yuan admired the young emperor even more. He personally participated in the northern war and fought bloody battles, yet he showed no murderous intent or bloodlust. He was truly a man of great hidden talent!

"Generals, there's no need for such formalities!" Xiao Liunian dismounted and offered a helping hand to Xiang Yuan.

"Your Majesty, please!" Xiang Yuan led everyone to retreat to both sides.

Xiao Liunian led everyone into the camp, and his time was completely filled for the entire day.

On the morning of his arrival, Xiao Liunian inspected the Qingyan Army, attended a military banquet at noon, and attended meetings with Xiang Yuan and others in the afternoon and evening regarding the opening of coastal waterways.

It was late at night when the man, the cat, and the tiger returned to their tent. The kitten was extremely sleepy, its eyes were drowsy and about to close.

Even though it's a system and not a real cat, I'm still sleepy!

"Go to sleep." Xiao Liunian gently tugged at the cat's ears, which had fallen asleep the moment it touched the bed, and then glanced at the white tiger beside her with a strange expression.

The latter quickly closed its eyes and began to enter sleep mode.

Xiao Liunian didn't go to sleep right away; she still had to work overtime for a while.

He took out the memorial presented by Xiang Yuan and began to read it.

Upon hearing Xiao Liunian's commotion, Baihu did nothing except twitch its ears.

Xiao Liunian's schedule is still packed tomorrow.

Xiang Yuan arranged a military exercise at sea, aiming to demonstrate the Qingyan Army's current combat capabilities.

Xiao Liunian had witnessed the Qingyan Army's military drills many times, so she really, really wanted to refuse! But in the end, it was just a thought.

For the Qingyan Army, this was the first time they had demonstrated their strength in front of the new emperor.

The soldiers of the Qingyan Army were all in high spirits and eager to fight, looking ready to make a big splash.

"Work is work," Xiao Liunian comforted herself with her eyes closed. "A person can't not work, can they?"

Then Xiao Liunian moved the sleeping, furry creature onto his arm and began to sleep himself.
