As night fell, Lin Fan gazed at the bright moon in the sky, its light as clear as water.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for updating to the latest version 9.9."

The system notification came through, announcing that all versions had finally been updated.

"Host, you seem to have something on your mind?" it asked in confusion. Lin Fan just stared blankly at the moonlight, his eyes as calm as still water.

"The evil forces are stirring, and the Tianchen Continent is about to descend into chaos. I'm not confident in my abilities, and if anything seems amiss, I'd like to leave," Lin Fan said.

"You want to go to the Upper Realm via the Heavenly Road?" The system pointed out his thoughts. If he wanted to avoid the turmoil on the Tianchen Continent, going to the Upper Realm was the safest option.

“That’s right!” Lin Fan said.

"Why?" the system asked.

“You’re hiding too much; I can’t trust you,” Lin Fan asked.

He felt that the dog system was hiding a lot of important information, which put him in great danger.

Empress Tianyao once said that someone wanted to steal her destiny, so the system updated frantically, explaining that the system that stole her destiny was incredibly powerful.

He had no clue what to do and was facing an unknown and powerful enemy. Without adequate preparation, he did not want to confront them head-on.

"What do you want to know? I can answer you to the best of my ability." The system compromised, perhaps because it was worried that Lin Fan would give up, or perhaps because it had updated to the latest version and become stronger.

“I remember you failed ninety-nine times, so why do I only have memories of three lifetimes?” he asked.

This is strange. If it is really as the system says, then he should have ninety-nine memories.

"I can't restart the Tianchen Continent. If I had that power, I could destroy the opposing system," the system said.

"Oh? You mean that the previous ninety-nine failures were not on the Tianchen Continent, and that you ultimately failed, resulting in the destruction of ninety-nine worlds? Is that right?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.

No wonder he always felt something was off; it turns out this damn system hadn't explained things clearly.

"That's right. The first world to be destroyed was a low-level world called the Soul Fighting Continent, where both the soul beasts and humans were sacrificed," the system replied.

"That's not right, why do I still have memories of my past life?" Lin Fan seized on the flaw in its words, which was a very serious question.

He still remembers his past life's memories on the Tianchen Continent. If they were truly destroyed, he would be living in a ghost realm now.

"Tianchen Continent was originally the ninety-ninth world to be destroyed. Because the host of the enemy system in my previous life revealed a flaw, I seized the opportunity and joined forces with the Heavenly Dao to severely damage the enemy system."

"That battle was extremely fierce, which resulted in a time turbulence. We all traveled upstream through the river of time and returned to the past."

"While I was figuring out how to win, I discovered that you had escaped the fate of being scattered and reincarnated on Earth. So I controlled the dump truck to crash into you, capture your soul, and return to the beginning of the time turbulence together."

"Hehe, then I really have to thank you!" Lin Fan said with a forced smile. Sure enough, it was this bastard who arranged the plot.

"You're welcome. If the Tianchen Continent is destroyed, the next world will be Blue Star, so you have no choice. If the other party's system reaches perfection in a hundred lifetimes, the universe will be completely finished," the system replied.

"How many stars in the universe have life?" Lin Fan asked.

"One hundred and eight!" the system replied.

"Why would the other system do this? What benefit would it gain from destroying the universe?" he asked again.

"The universe returns to nothingness, chaos is reborn!" the system said.

Lin Fan remained silent, reviewing all the details once again.

"I understand. In my first life, I was killed and my soul was reborn on Blue Star. However, the struggle on Tianchen Continent continued. You found an opportunity to join forces with the Heavenly Dao to severely damage a powerful enemy. The two sides went to war, which triggered a time turbulence, and time went back to the past."

"But you discovered my existence in the time turbulence, so you killed me and took my soul back to the day I was wrongly accused. So you changed hosts and decided to put your last chance on me, right?"

The system said, "That's right. None of us have the ability to reset the world. You are the only variable that has appeared, which is why I decided to take a gamble."

Lin Fan finally understood. No wonder the system said it couldn't change a person's will; many people in the sect had changed their personalities.

If Long Aotian is destined to destroy the world, the Qingxiao Sect will certainly not escape its fate of destruction. Those who are reborn with their memories intact, as long as they still have some guilt in their minds and some moral compass, will also choose to target Long Aotian.

All his doubts were resolved. The system was constantly deducing and solving the problem, and it must be related to his junior sisters.

"Luck!" He realized the key factor: if his junior sisters were the female lead, they would all have a lot of luck. He could take their luck and weaken Long Aotian's luck at the same time.

The battles between systems and the struggle between worlds are nothing more than a struggle for destiny. As long as you seize the destiny of the Tianchen Continent, you will naturally be able to defeat your opponent in this world.

"System, is Junior Sister Xuanqiu a woman of destiny?" he asked.

"No!" the system said.

"Where is Fengxi?"

"no!"

"It can't be my junior sisters, can it?" Lin Fan said, rolling his eyes.

"Yes!" the system replied.

"Alright, you can shut it down now." Lin Fan was speechless. They were able to be reborn with their memories intact, which was probably the Heavenly Dao's crazy self-rescue. That's why the system remained silent on such matters and could not interfere with the Heavenly Dao's affairs.

As time passed, after the Tiger Clan's investiture ceremony, the various clans departed one after another. Lin Fan waited for his two junior sisters to rest and adjust their condition before leading them on their journey.

He took out a piece of ice crystal to study, but he still couldn't pinpoint the location of the Emperor's cave.

According to Chu Yunying, only when the true Emperor's cave appears can the location be confirmed by the Ice Crystal.

"Saintess Miaomiao, aren't you with the Tiger Clan experts?" Chu Yunying asked curiously.

Why did this white-haired girl become attached to the senior brother? So many young and powerful members of the Tiger Clan were mobilized together, yet she insisted on following the senior brother.

“I don’t need their protection,” Hong Yinping said with a smile. She hugged Lin Fan’s arm and pressed her head tightly against him. She had only recently returned and didn’t feel much of a sense of belonging to the Tiger Clan.

Chu Yunying puffed out her cheeks and glared at her, but ultimately said nothing more.

"Grandpa, are you really not going to do anything about them?" In the Tiger King's Palace, Hong Gang helplessly came to the back courtyard and saw a large tiger lying down with its eyes closed, and said with some helplessness.

Hong Yinping refused the protection of the Tiger Clan's powerful warriors and ran away with Lin Fan, much to his dismay.

The eldest members of the Tiger Clan all favored Hong Yinping, and as long as she didn't cause any major upheaval, they wouldn't interfere with her decisions.

“The child has grown up and has her own ideas now, let her be,” the big tiger said in a low voice.

The story of Hong Yinping and Lin Fan had spread throughout the Tiger Clan, and all the men who could freely enter and leave the Holy Maiden's boudoir knew her thoughts.

"What if he kidnaps Miaomiao?" the Tiger King said.

This was his biggest worry. Hong Yinping was the holy maiden of the Tiger Clan and was destined to inherit the throne. If she ran away with him, the Tiger Clan would probably be devastated.

“If he doesn’t want to marry into the family, we’ll move our entire clan to his place,” the big tiger said.

Miao Miao has awakened the White Tiger bloodline, and her future achievements will definitely surpass theirs. She will be destined to become the emperor of the magical beast race.

If a human powerhouse can suppress the White Tiger bloodline, it proves that his strength is no weaker than that of the Great Emperor.

The Tiger Clan's king and the Human Emperor have formed a marriage alliance, allowing the Tiger Clan to migrate to the Human Clan's territory and develop there; their future will only get better and better.

"Alright!" Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the Tiger King had no choice but to give up.

Buzz

In the vast and boundless Ten Thousand Mountains, clouds and mist swirl, ancient trees reach for the sky, as if the oldest secrets of the world are hidden here.

Deep within this mysterious and unpredictable region, suddenly, a dazzling beam of light shot into the sky from the depths of the earth, piercing the clouds and illuminating the entire mountain range, causing all beasts to tremble in fear and the heavens and earth to change color.

This light is the supreme legacy left behind by the ancient emperor, which has finally manifested in the world after countless years.

In an instant, clouds swirled in all directions, and countless cultivators, demons, strange beasts, and even reclusive masters were all drawn to this sudden phenomenon.

Streaks of light shot up, displaying a dazzling array of colors, creating a spectacular scene.

Lin Fan looked up at the light, which was in the direction of Falling Phoenix Slope. Then he took out a piece of ice crystal, which pointed in the completely opposite direction.

That's where the Tiger Clan and the Pig Clan have a territorial dispute.

"What region is this?" He took out a map and looked at it. He arrived at a place called Burial Soul Marsh.

Humans are very averse to words like "Burial of Souls," and the Burial of Souls Swamp is more like a deadly place, having devoured countless lives in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, a place that neither the Tiger Clan nor the Pig Clan wants to go.

They advanced towards the Burial Soul Swamp, but upon reaching its outskirts, they could see a thick, persistent fog in the distance. This place was perpetually shrouded in a mysterious, grayish-white mist.

Lin Fan stood at the crossroads, next to a stone tablet with a line of small characters: "The place where the soul returns, the place where death is annihilated!"

The stone tablet seems to be telling future generations that this place is dangerous and that they should cherish their lives. However, if the emperor was buried here, it takes on a different meaning, serving as a warning to future generations that the emperor is buried here.

After traversing winding mountain roads and crossing rushing streams, he felt an unprecedented sense of awe as he stood before the layer of grayish-white mist.

Within the mist, shadowy figures flickered, as if countless souls were wandering, or as if endless laws of heaven and earth were intertwined, inspiring awe in those who could not help but feel awe.

Upon entering the Burial Soul Swamp, Lin Fan quickly discovered that not only was the environment harsh, but also many unknown dangers lurked within.

Strange and bizarre monsters, unpredictable formations, and lingering souls haunted by their unresolved obsessions all became obstacles on his path.

"It's dangerous up ahead, why don't you go back first!"

Lin Fan suddenly said that since it was a forbidden area that devoured countless living beings, it must be very dangerous, and he didn't want the others to be in danger.

"Don't worry, I'm very capable. Just don't let me down." Murong Xuanqiu waved his fist and assured him.

Chu Yunying and Hong Yinping both stated that they would definitely not leave.
