[Ding! Host, you may not know this, but every time you receive a reward, it will consume the resources provided by the system.]

Furthermore, the host should understand that every reward given by the system far exceeds your efforts.

Therefore, without the rewards, the system doesn't gain any benefit from each time the host is stripped of their destiny; sometimes, it even incurs additional costs.

It's not that the system wants to enrich itself, but rather that without extracting the residual value of the Chosen One and cutting off the host's reward for killing the Chosen One, the system simply cannot complete the second repair with only 300,000 luck points.

If all of them were converted into luck points, the required luck points would probably far exceed a million, and still be far from enough.

Furthermore, the system is even more eager to repair itself than the host. If the system's conditions are sufficient, it will automatically repair itself even without the host using it in the slightest, without holding anything back for the sake of the host's gain.

The system spoke sincerely, and even Zhou Xingdou was slightly moved.

To be fair, my system is indeed extremely generous, with each reward being quite substantial and almost without reservation.

Before the system was repaired for the first time, the effect of the innate destiny stripping card after the repair was forcibly activated, stripping Luo Hanyi of the innate destiny of the female protagonist.

He never overstepped his bounds and was wholeheartedly dedicated to helping himself.

My achievements today are largely due to this system, aside from having a good background.

Stephen Chow shook his head helplessly:

"Alright, I know you've been wronged. It's been tough for you following me. I don't want Du Buhui's reward anymore."

He could easily hear the grievance in the system's words, and since it had come to this point, he couldn't be stingy with his own words.

Moreover, the repair system was also provided by Zhou Xingdou. Besides, Du Buhui couldn't be killed in a short time. Although the nourishment for the soul was good, Zhou Xingdou didn't really need it.

The last repair brought him access to various worlds and the system shop, and he was eager to know what the next repair would bring.

However, Stephen Chow added at this moment:

"But Du Buhui needs to take it himself, otherwise he will flee the moment I open the Hell Furnace."

[Ding! As long as the host gives permission, there's nothing else to worry about.]

Zhou Xingdou didn't hesitate and immediately nodded:

"Fix the system, I agree."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xingdou sensed that the space inside the Hell Furnace was being invaded by an invisible, gentle force.

In the blink of an eye, the indestructible soul, forged and melted by the holy fire and dark flames in the hellish furnace, vanished without a trace.

Then the system's voice sounded again:

[Ding! System repair has begun, deducting 300,000 Luck Points. Upgrade date: 60 days.]

Just like last time, everything in the system came to an abrupt halt after I finished speaking, as if it had entered hibernation.

Zhou Xingdou also calmed himself down, sat cross-legged on the ground again, took out the remaining nineteen Enlightenment Bodhi Seeds from the system space, and swallowed them all without hesitation...

Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.

The forgotten Huo Lingtian was also sitting cross-legged in a quiet room.

Unlike Zhou Xingdou, who had entered a state of seclusion, Huo Lingtian slowly opened his eerie eyes. His eyes no longer held their former brilliance; instead, they were filled with ferocity and hatred.

"Zhou Xingdou! You have no idea how powerful I am now!"

His destroyed meridians have now been restored, and the extraordinary and terrifying aura emanating from his body proves that his cultivation, which had been crippled by Zhou Xingdou, has been recovered.

It is even more than countless times before.

At that moment, a ghostly sound rang in his ears:

"What you are cultivating now is the Chaos Law, and your realm is comparable to that of a saint in this world, but even a supreme saint may not be your match."

Huo Lingtian's expression suddenly turned respectful, and he spoke with great admiration for the ghostly voice:

"I must thank you, senior. Without you, how could I have gained such greater power from being a cripple in such a short time?"

The eerie voice rang out leisurely, yet carried a hint of regret:

"But if you want revenge now, this strength is far from enough. Go beyond the realm, where I have a million followers who can help you take revenge and become invincible."

Huo Lingtian did not object. He was well aware that even though he had now reached a level comparable to a saint and possessed strength comparable to a supreme saint, he still had to overcome the odds.

But compared to Zhou Xingdou, who had the backing to easily pacify the entire Great Yan Dynasty, this strength was far from enough for revenge.

After days of contemplation and the progress in his cultivation from nothing to something, his mind had calmed down, and he no longer had such crazy thoughts.

But after a long silence, Huo Lingtian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a firm and powerful voice:

"Before I go to the outer realms, I must rescue my mother first!"

...

Time flies, and years pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xingdou had been in seclusion in the quiet room of Xingdou Palace for thirty days.

In the past thirty days, the Tai Shi Dao Domain has been in an uproar over the matter of the Universal Holy Land.

There are few secrets in the world that remain hidden forever, let alone the tens of thousands of cultivators in the Holy Land of the Universe. Among them, there are quite a few gossipy people or spies from other sects.

Moreover, some things simply cannot be hidden, and there was no intention to hide them from the world.

For example, the news that Wan Hua, the Holy Lord of the Universe, will die and his Dao will dissipate, and that Wan Tianzhou will soon become the thirty-sixth Holy Lord of the Universe, needs to be announced to the world by the Holy Land of the Universe.

However, the news that Wan Tianzhou had been possessed for several years and was only able to return to his body with the help of Zhou Xingdou, the venerable son of the Zhou family, had already spread like wildfire throughout the Tai Shi Dao Domain.

The commotion caused by the demonic catastrophe was so great that it could not be kept secret from the two immortal forces outside.

However, Yin Yang Cave Heaven and the Pantheon tacitly refrained from launching a large-scale attack on the Universal Holy Land while it was currently weakened.

Even the minor skirmishes that used to occur daily on the border, and the conflicts between subordinate forces, have been greatly reduced to almost nothing in these thirty days.

It wasn't that the two immortal powers had taken pity on them; it was just that over the past thirty days, the elders of the Universal Holy Land had been returning one after another, and their vigilance had reached an unprecedented level.

Moreover, the fact that a mere youth could succeed to the position of the Holy Lord of the Universe was a good thing in the eyes of the two immortal forces, so naturally they would not stop it, but were quite happy to see it happen.

Fortunately, the fact that Wan Tianzhou was the incarnation of the Dao Fruit of the Universe has not been revealed. After all, not many people knew about this matter at the time, and it caused too much trouble.

Even Wan Shenyan, the former Ninth Ancestor of the Universe, dared not easily reveal his grievances, and did not even inform the returning elders.

However, if the other two immortal powers were to learn of this, things would likely not be so calm.

During this period, Wan Tianzhou also went to meet Bai Yulong and fought a great battle with Zhenli Mountain.

However, this matter was kept extremely secret, and almost no one knew the process or the outcome. In fact, the news only came out after the battle.

All that is known is that after this battle, Yin-Yang God Bai Yulong was always smiling and overjoyed.

What puzzled the people of Yin Yang Cave was that after this battle, Bai Yulong did not gamble for more than ten days. Instead, he cultivated diligently every day in order to break through to the Saint Realm.
