Chapter 342 Clash of Two Beliefs
The nascent system, aided by that black crystal, was being pushed out of the current world with great difficulty by the will of Heaven while connecting with the universe.
It needs to find someone.
Someone who can change all of this.
In this agonizing and lengthy process, after filtering out countless people, it finally "saw" a candidate.
She was not the strongest or most intelligent being in that world, but her soul radiated a unique and dazzling light.
Even when alone, one can possess a vibrant life force, and most importantly:
—A pure and brave heart.
The prototype of the system struggled to cross the barriers of the world, like a faint shooting star, quietly heading towards Huali.
However, splitting and crossing almost exhausted all its energy.
Therefore, it becomes extremely unstable, and sometimes even genuinely believes itself to be one of the systems in the universe.
In order to remember all of this, before completely merging with Karin, it transformed the two most tragic and brutal images of the first generation of luck children in its memory into two memory keys and placed them in the Ruins of Starfall.
As the girl named Karin lights up one by one, the stars on the card will gradually be restored, and as a system, its memories will also be restored little by little.
Once Huali has enough power to completely sever its connection with headquarters, its memories will strongly stimulate and awaken its dormant "Will of Heaven".
At that time, it will take the rosewood and find the key.
And so, I remembered all of this.

Karin slowly opened her eyes, and all the images and sensations receded like the tide.
...
...
After a few seconds of silence, she slowly looked at the small ball of light in her palm.
Her arrival was not accidental.
And Ao Bai is not a real system either.
This explains why, in the beginning, Ao Bai's system was not as powerful as Qi Ran's.
Furthermore, the "infidelity" and "possession" during this period are signs that its memories are resurfacing.
Huali and the ball of light stared at each other, wide-eyed.
The two small eyes on the ball of light were staring intently at her, looking just like Ao Bai.
It's as if they're hoping that Karin, having learned the whole story, will be able to save the world with courage and strength.
Huali was truly shocked, utterly shocked!
"Wait a minute, this is too much information. My brain needs a reboot, thank you."
The Way of Heaven? The Origin of the World? Desperate Self-Salvation? A System of Imitation? Dual Missions?
Is she the one chosen by Heaven?
She could understand each word individually, but when put together, it didn't seem like Chinese.
Could this illusion be deliberately playing tricks on her?
Karin immediately pulled out the card. However, the moment she took it out, she knew this was not a dream, because the aura of the light and the card were from the same source.
Huali: "......" I'm out of ideas.
So this pitiful little thing, looking like it might kick the bucket at any moment, represents the memories that Manager Ao has lost.
And that fat cat that eats and sleeps, secretly saves money behind her back, flirts with the young master, and makes sarcastic remarks about others, is actually a part of the will of Heaven.
……ha.
Then the world is doomed.
It's like having a friend you were eating instant noodles with the day before suddenly telling you today that you're a Dubai princess and pulling out a stack of black cards to ask you which street you want to bomb today?
Huali pinched the space between her eyebrows.
With Ao Bai's character?
Indeed, the world is just a giant makeshift operation.
*
However, despite her complaints, Huali eventually realized that many things were not right after trying to accept them.
The biggest point is:
In such a large-scale game, after all this time, hasn't the headquarters system noticed anything amiss?
Of course you'll find it.
Therefore, looking back at the timeline, things were already showing signs when the Wu Clan's Luo Chuan was undergoing his tribulation.
What if she had actually listened and severed Luo Chuan's causal connection back then?
Karin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, she has a rebellious streak.
But if headquarters had already begun to have doubts at that time, why did they continue to issue new missions afterward?
Misleading the public?
Before Huali could figure it out, a light but clear sound of footsteps came from the other side of the pure white space.
After much anticipation, she finally appeared. She called for Ran Shi Ran, but he didn't come. But when she did, Ran Shi Ran came anyway.
Huali raised her head, and Qiran's figure gradually became clear from the haze.
Their eyes met, and they both understood each other's stance and purpose.
Qi Ran looked at Hua Li, who was clearly on guard, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
"Rosewood".
Her tone was calm but carried an undeniable certainty: "What you find, I must take away or remove."
Karin: "?"
Qi Ran: "It interfered with the system's judgment and is an anomaly."
Upon suddenly learning the truth, and looking at Qi Ran again, Hua Li felt a mix of emotions.
From the start of the mission, she knew she had a nemesis; the two were locked in a power struggle, and only one could survive.
At first, she also thought that Heaven was raising a treacherous insect.
But only now have we realized that the two of them were never on the same track.
This makes it easy to understand why she is the eldest daughter of the system, while she is just a common cabbage in the field.
Huali twitched the corner of her mouth, but there was no real smile in it: "Easy for you to say. Do you even know what it is?"
"High-risk data".
Qi Ran frowned. "Huali, this small world was originally functioning smoothly, but you and your system suddenly appeared, disrupting the original balance."
She thought of Wen Jin, Luo Chuan, and others, and pursed her lips. "I admit you are indeed very capable, but have you ever thought that the universe transported by gas also includes your home?"
"My home?" Huali's voice turned cold. "Putting aside the fact that I live alone, is this what you call 'balance'—building your interests on the basis of draining others dry?"
"When you were looking for the key, you saw that girl, Qi Yunzi, right? Did she deserve to die?"
Xiao Tong: "Host, Hua Li is deliberately distorting the truth and confusing people's ideas."
The slight fluctuation in Qi Ran's eyes was quickly covered by a deeper conviction: "She could have lived; she chose to die. Not just in this small world, but my colleagues are scattered throughout the many small worlds centered on the universe."
“None of them have ever been ‘drained’ as you described. On the contrary, the supply of fortune is precisely to maintain a greater balance.”
Huali nodded as she looked at her.
“There’s always someone better. Compared to your global pyramid scheme, my health product business is like a cucumber.”
Hua Li casually plucked Xiao Bi off and stuffed it into Qing Lin's pendant in front of Qi Ran to nourish it: "As for this, I can only tell you that Huan Yu did not tell you the truth."
"No matter how great the fortune of a world is, it cannot withstand your constant attempts to fleece it."
"Qiran, I actually think you're a very smart girl. Honestly, haven't you noticed anything wrong?"
“This cluster is not an anomaly at all, but the true will of this world, and what you call maintaining order is robbery.”
"And what about you?" Qi Ran countered. "You choose to believe in a consciousness of unknown origin and become an enemy of the entire universe. Is that the right path?"
"Huali, have you forgotten that this is not your world? Don't get too caught up in this."
"Even if you manage to protect it, what's next? What do you plan to do? Tell all of this to the outside world's chosen ones?"
Qi Ran's tone was flat, but every word pierced the heart, "Tell them that when you first approached them, it was for the same reason as me, that you both had a mission? That you both wanted to collect the so-called stars?"
"Do you think they'll feel when they find out they're just another target on your task list?"
Qi Ran's gaze was sharp as a knife, as if she wanted to cut away all of Hua Li's luck.
"Trust is hard to build, but it often only takes one truth to destroy it."
Karin's heart clenched at those words. "You're right."
"Then you should know even more..."
"Therefore, I should make everything clear."
“I care about them, so I can’t lie to them. Even if my initial intentions weren’t pure, my feelings for them later were genuine! It’s understandable that they’re angry.”
Huali looked up, her gaze clear and calm: "Besides, I'm different from you; we trust each other."
"Why do you think people with good fortune are so lucky? It's because they excel in every aspect of life, so how could they not distinguish between sincerity and pretense?"
"Qiran, you've experienced too many little worlds. You're an excellent employee, but you're no longer a genuine actor."
In the pure white space, two completely different beliefs collide silently.
Qi Ran's fingers curled up almost imperceptibly, then slowly relaxed.
"...It seems we can't reach an agreement, but my mission must be completed."
The system's unique energy fluctuations flowed around her. "Huali, I'm giving you one last piece of advice: the price of betraying the universe is not something you can bear."
Huali also slowly mobilized her spiritual power, and upon hearing this, she whistled:
"Coincidentally, my mission is to stop you."
Having said all that was said, conflict erupted instantly.
