Meanwhile, in a place where data streams are everywhere.
He was talking animatedly, boasting about his great achievements to the newly hired system staff, who listened with shining eyes and full of admiration.
After a long while, it arrogantly said:
"That's all for today's guidance. You can figure out the rest on your own. Every system has its own path, and not everyone can reach my level."
"Did you understand?"
"clear."
The answer was given in unison.
A group of new systems watched with envy as the legendary system departed, while some of the smarter systems secretly memorized every word their predecessor had said.
I've decided to listen more and reflect more.
Perhaps one day they will be able to achieve what this predecessor did.
No, only half.
One-tenth is fine!
This senior's abilities are far beyond their reach.
It is said that when they were still in their humble beginnings, they saw the potential in the person whose future was uncertain. From then on, they devoted themselves to each other and supported one another until they finally reached the top.
What a legendary tale!
This story has been circulating in the system community for who knows how long, and it is known to almost everyone.
Naturally, it attracted the envy of countless systems, and some even used its experience as a reference to specifically target and bind themselves to dangerous individuals who had switched jobs.
I will put in a lot of effort to cultivate myself, hoping to become the second one.
Bind to a godlike host and reach the pinnacle of life.
Unfortunately, it turns out that what makes a legend legendary is precisely its rarity.
Most of the systems lost everything.
Even the best one was only comparable to the best hosts in the past.
"You're so lucky, senior!"
A system light cluster murmured to itself, and blue data streams clashed violently. It was said that the newly released book, "Those Years, the Days of Ups and Downs Between Me and My Host," contained a lot of top-secret information.
It's decided, it's going to rush to buy a copy.
In the narrow space.
What should have been a departure in the eyes of the masses was now happily calculating that after today's speech, the sales of its autobiography would rise again.
Just thinking about the points I could earn made me feel like I was flying high, and I was planning to buy a planet for a vacation...
Who knew that joy would turn to sorrow?
The next second, a beautiful hand parted the space and accurately pinched it—
"Have you had enough fun? Now I have something for you to do."
"What?"
Sensing impending doom, it struggled desperately, but could not resist the host's powerful commands. The once-mighty system senior tearfully donned its mimicry form.
…………
A bustling metropolis.
Pedestrians come and go in all sorts of ways, some taking public transportation with a mechanical feel, others riding in vehicles pulled by towering beasts—a diverse array of options.
Of all these, flying on a sword is the most enviable!
First of all, sword control requires a cultivation level of at least Foundation Establishment, which alone eliminates 99% of applicants.
Although we live in a golden age of cultivation, most people do not have the ability to sense spiritual energy. Even if they do have the aptitude, the Foundation Establishment cultivation that can extend lifespan by a hundred years is something that many people can only dream of.
Secondly, flying swords are very expensive...
Even in a large city like Zhongdu, applying for a flight path is quite difficult.
Several factors combined.
Those who can fly on swords are no ordinary people.
At that moment, a brilliant streak of light flashed across the sky, moving at an extremely fast speed before disappearing in an instant.
People on the street all looked up.
"Wow, look at that sword light! It's a custom-made flying sword from Yu Bao Zhai. I heard it contains rare minerals, making it three times faster than the previous models!"
"The price is comparable to that of a house."
"I wonder who was in such a hurry to leave."
Some people craned their necks, unwilling to look away even after the sword light had disappeared.
"That looks like the direction of Zhongdu Hospital."
"This sword master must be on his way to visit a patient, no wonder he's in such a hurry..."
In a luxurious hospital ward.
The intruder flew in through the window on a sword, stopped, sheathed the sword, and then a cold voice was heard:
"You come here without even using the door?"
Upon hearing this, the man's heart skipped a beat.
Cold sweat broke out, and he instinctively wanted to apologize, but then he realized... he didn't need to do that anymore, or rather, the owner of the voice was different from before.
He turned his head to look at the boy on the hospital bed.
Wearing striped patient gowns, his once handsome face was now pale and lifeless, only his eyes remained as deep and calm as before, staring intently at himself.
"I acted hastily in order to complete the master's orders as quickly as possible. I hope you will forgive me, young master."
The visitor only gave a perfunctory explanation, without even bending down, and as he expected, the boy on the hospital bed did not pursue the matter further.
What else can we do?
He still considered himself a prodigy who had achieved Foundation Establishment before the age of eighteen, whose fame resounded throughout the capital and even the whole country. At that time, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of this person.
Things are different now than they used to be.
This once-proud son of heaven has become a cripple, his spiritual meridians and dantian both damaged. Unless a great supernatural being like the Qin Emperor intervenes, his cultivation will only be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage for the rest of his life.
But how easy is that?
Even the most approachable and powerful supernatural beings have not appeared in the world for a century. Even if they did appear, their families, given their status, would not be able to get anyone to help them.
What else does he have to be afraid of?
Although I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage, I still have hope of advancing further in my cultivation.
In comparison, his future is much brighter than this one's!
Thinking of this, a secret sense of superiority welled up in the newcomer's heart. Looking at the boy on the hospital bed, his gaze softened slightly, even showing a hint of pity—
After all, what he was about to say would be a heavy blow to the boy.
"You mean, Uncle revoked my right to be his heir?"
"Yes, the head of the family also has his own difficulties, and I hope the young master can understand." The person felt guilty saying these words; the family's treatment of this person was... truly heartless.
He was, after all, a genius who brought countless honors and resources to his family.
Once the diagnosis revealed that he could no longer continue his cultivation, all the preferential treatment and resources previously given to him were quickly adjusted, and the selection of a new successor began.
However, the patriarch still made a statement.
We did everything we could to treat him, otherwise the boy wouldn't have woken up so quickly.
Although, as soon as he woke up, he announced that his status as heir had been revoked.
It's not that good, but it's not completely bad either.
Families like theirs often have to be ruthless in order to maintain their status.
To the surprise of the visitor, the boy's expression remained calm, and he simply said:
"I see."
"Don't worry, get some rest, there might still be hope."
The person who came offered a few words of comfort and then left.
