There seemed to be many options before her. She could turn around and leave the shadow world now, lock this system that was more bewitching than the devil inside her body, and never pay any attention to it again.
Without the help of the system, I can honestly kill monsters, devour crystal cores, and become stronger steadily and slowly until I reach level A, go to the Magic City, and meet Nephalem.
Perhaps he could rescue Shi Meng and the two of them could live happily ever after.
Or maybe all this is just a prank of the evil god, and he will never be able to find Shi Meng again. He is just a chess piece on the chessboard, always a plaything under the control of the other party to please the other party.
She hasn't seen Shi Meng in her dreams for several months.
Before parting, the other party's strange behavior would appear in Shen Lanzhou's mind from time to time, making her unconsciously anxious and worried.
Shi Meng...can she really afford to wait?
As expected, it was created by an advanced civilization and was an artificial intelligence that had lived for who knows how long. It forced me into a desperate situation with just a simple conspiracy.
As Shen Lanzhou exclaimed in admiration, his body was covered by countless liquid shadows.
Not long after, she turned into a shadow chimera monster over ten meters tall, a combination of a goat and a scaly dragon, with terrifying eyeballs all over its body.
The monster opened its mouth wide, roared silently, and swallowed up the shadow toad that had finally gathered together in front of it.
You have to jump into this pit.
The shadow power she absorbed was of the same origin as Shen Lanzhou's original power, perfectly compatible. Her body showed no repulsion to external energy at all; the power she absorbed from the shadow toad seemed to belong to Shen Lanzhou by nature.
Without the familiar system prompts, she could easily feel the pleasure of the surging tide of power rolling through her body.
"Ah~ Saigonni Hi Iron Duck~~"
The system made a funny sound, which seemed to be a famous line from a villain in a certain work. The sudden words instantly broke the serious atmosphere.
"This is Miss System."
The terrifying monster, which made people want to dig out its eyes, spoke in an elegant and polite girlish voice: "I am very grateful for your appearance. Thanks to you, I can quickly gain strength and protect my family and friends."
Shen Lanzhou's voice was gentle and warm: "As I said when you first appeared in my world, no matter what your purpose is, I am sincerely grateful to you. So, if you need anything for me, please feel free to tell me. I will do my best to repay this kindness."
"... Ugh, did you have a stomachache? Your voice is so corny and disgusting."
"Since you have no needs, I don't care."
Shen Lanzhou returned to his usual asexual voice, maintaining his monster form, swinging his tail and diving deeper into the shadow world.
The ball of white light wrapped in numerous tentacles twisted and formed various shapes: "Actually... I do need your help.
My creator, the Polyhedron, believed that all things in the world share a single source. This is the "One" in your Taoist philosophy. The Polyhedron created me to explore this source, and I faithfully carry out my mission by following the original source code.
Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
"Is [One] [Ubo]?"
Shen Lanzhou thought of the Creator that Lily had mentioned, the source of all life on Earth.
"No," the system asked, "Have you ever thought about where [Woobo] came from? Where does non-living matter come from?"
This really touched Shen Lanzhou's blind spot.
"The Polyhedrons believe that beyond the theory of the origin of species, there exists a [One] that gave birth to all matter and laws in the world, namely [the One to whom all things return]. My birth was to trace the existence of [One]. Initially, I parasitized my creator, gaining power for Him, breaking free from the shackles of genes, and deconstructing the truth of the world..."
"Then what?"
"Then, with my help, my creator successfully broke through to S-rank. He died at the moment of his godhood, becoming a completely chaotic and insane evil god. He wiped out his entire clan and vanished without a trace."
“…”
It might be strange to see speechless and dull emotions from a shadow chimera monster, but Shen Lanzhou really couldn't hold it back!
She silently closed her wide-open mouth and asked the system: "So what is your wish?"
"I hope you can survive and reach S-rank. I hope to find the One of the Polyhedron's long-cherished wishes. I hope to complete my mission and gain freedom from the shackles of billions of years..."
The system is really like a human, although it always emphasizes that it is a program created to accomplish a mission.
But his emotions were too real, just like a poor office worker who had been working overtime for decades and was exhausted, and finally found out that the retirement rules had changed, and he had to continue working in a job with no end in sight.
But we can't ignore the fact that this guy is a disaster that caused his creator to exterminate his entire clan. (No mercy)
"You want me to do so many things, but you just want to leave me? Is there something I haven't done well enough?" Shen Lanzhou asked.
"Because you're a disaster star. Look at how many untouchable beings you've encountered along the way. I'm afraid you'll end up messing with someone you shouldn't mess with before you even reach S-rank, and even implicate poor innocent me."
"How dare you say I'm a disaster?" Shen Lanzhou said with a sullen face.
The white ball of light proudly extended its tentacles and put its hands on its hips:
"But I will help you if I can. After all, you are my hope. When you devour shadow creatures, I will lock your sanity value~
As for how to gain experience points from kills without relying on me and the knowledge of independently allocating evolution points, I will teach you all of them without leaving a single drop behind during this period of time.
You are strengthened, go ahead! Brave girl! "
The Chimera monster wandering in the darkness is like a bright light, attracting countless monsters lurking in the darkness.
Although there was no air to transmit sound, Shen Lanzhou still "heard" the wolf howling.
Shen Lanzhou [Chimera Monster] opened his densely packed eyes and stared at his surroundings vigilantly.
Suddenly, a dog's head popped out from the darkness, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit Shen Lanzhou's tail.
This is a monster that looks like a dog and a wolf, made of shadow as sticky as asphalt. It has a thin body and looks emaciated.
There are no "eyes" on the wolf-like and dog-like head, only a pitch-black area.
He felt his tail being bitten, but thanks to the protection of his scales, the opponent was unable to break through his defense.
Shen Lanzhou immediately turned around and grabbed the shadow wolf, opened his mouth wide and swallowed it into his stomach.
Inside her body, densely packed eyeballs opened, and transparent mucus flowed out, instantly digesting the shadow wolf into a pool of pure shadow that was absorbed.
