Bing Nandong's eyelashes brushed against his palm. Fan Zhiyi said, "Bing Nandong, I have never abandoned you in all these times. So don't be afraid. Don't get lost in the ghost. Remember, I will definitely come back for you."
If it is not necessary, Fan Zhiyi does not want them to fight with the system, as it will not bring any benefits.
Bing Nandong's lips were pressed tightly into a line: "One stick of incense." Bing Nandong suddenly said, "I'll wait for you for one stick of incense. If you don't come back, I..."
"You're just going to do it today?" Fan Zhiyi smiled. "Do you really think I'm that powerful? How can one stick of incense be enough to negotiate?"
"Two sticks."
"Three sticks." Fan Zhiyi bargained, "Okay, three sticks."
Then he suppressed the smile on his face and looked at Jin Wu: "If I don't come back within three incense sticks and the thunder has not dissipated, then..." Then the ending cannot be changed and everyone will still be destroyed.
According to Bai Bai, this is the last time. After this time, no matter how much loss it has to bear, the main system has decided to abandon this world and erase all traces of this world. After all, keeping a world that is difficult to control will only cause trouble and there is no point in doing so.
"Then you should give up fighting against the Ghost Gate and fight against the Heavenly Dao instead. Maybe a miracle will happen and you can fight your way out."
Zhuang Yujing frowned upon hearing this. "What on earth are you talking about? What are you talking about? What are you going to do?"
"Jinwu, I'm counting on you." Fan Zhiyi said, "As long as you see the thunder dissipate, it means I've succeeded."
"Okay, I will definitely try my best."
Fan Zhiyi took several deep breaths and gripped the dagger. He thought his expression must be very bad, fortunately Bing Nandong didn't see it.
He had asked the system before what would happen if he died in this world while losing contact with the system. The system's answer was that as long as there was still a need, it would do everything possible to bring him back to life.
If he were to leave the Ghost Gate and meet Bai Bai again, he would never let Fan Zhiyi commit suicide, so he could only stay here. The system could not intervene, and his soul did not belong to this world. After death, his soul would be recycled and meet the system first.
Even though he had died so many times, he was still afraid. He prayed that he would die immediately without suffering too much pain.
The dagger pierced into the heart cleanly and neatly, and blood flowed from Fan Zhiyi's mouth.
"Yi Zhifan!" Zhuang Yujing opened his eyes wide and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Jin Wu.
Fan Zhiyi closed his eyes, his hands loosened, and his head fell heavily on Bing Nandong's shoulder. Bing Nandong closed his eyes and did not open them. Two lines of tears fell first.
***
Fan Zhiyi's bet was right. He really saw the system in Baibai's form. It was a small square display screen with a black background and green codes sliding quickly.
Before Bai Bai's electronic voice could announce anything, Fan Zhiyi spoke first, "I want to see the main system. Bai Bai, there's still a way to save this world."
"..." This time Bai Bai was silent for only a moment, then said, "Connecting the host to the main system."
Not long after, Baibai's electronic voice changed its tone: "Fan Zhiyi, System Baibai, mission failed."
"It hasn't failed yet." Fan Zhiyi stared squarely at the system in front of him. The main system was indeed different, communicating with him through a white electronic screen. Just by looking at each other, Fan Zhiyi felt an invisible pressure. "The thunder hasn't fallen, the ghost gate hasn't fully opened, and Bing Nandong hasn't gone crazy. How could I have failed? Since my death, I have only been traveling through one world, completing one mission, back and forth, over and over again. The system and I have consumed a lot of energy, which shows that this world is still relatively important. Things have developed to this point. As long as the system is willing to help, there is still a possibility of preservation."
The electronic screen opposite made a rustling sound. Fan Zhiyi looked at it. He remembered Bai Bai saying that there was a main control room. Now, maybe there was something else locking onto him through this electronic screen.
Fan Zhiyi continued, "What you're thinking is, isn't it, to let Bingnandong and Guimen fight and destroy each other, so that the system will eventually benefit and eliminate these two out-of-control troubles? But can you guarantee that both Bingnandong and Guimen will perish in the battle? Suppose Bingnandong survives and Guimen disappears. Then, after absorbing all the ghost energy, Bingnandong's power will be stronger than Guimen's. Can you guess what Bingnandong will do next? Suppose Guimen stays and Bingnandong is swallowed by Guimen, then Guimen will be beyond the reach of the system's detection. Would you let it continue to grow without worry? Therefore, under these conditions, Bingnandong and Guimen must both be kept alive to keep each other in check."
Countless lines of code flashed across the electronic screen, and Fan Zhiyi heard the other party reply, "Please explain the mutual constraints."
"First, most of the ghosts in the Ghost Gate are now temporarily subservient to Bing Nandong. We only need a valve to control the opening and closing of the Ghost Gate, so that the Ghost Gate will not saturate and expand, causing the ghosts inside to pour out all at once, and the world to fall into chaos. Secondly, Bing Nandong will not absorb countless ghost energy to eliminate the Ghost Gate, causing his power to become excessive and out of control. And to keep the Ghost Gate unblocked, an observer is needed, and this person is none other than Bing Nandong. Because of his physical condition and the practice of dispelling ghost energy, he can often enter the Ghost Gate and manage and eliminate ghosts."
Fan Zhiyi continued, "So, now we only need one valve. I think if the system is willing to help, this valve won't be difficult."
“Why should the system act as a valve?”
"As a being like the Way of Heaven, the system must be extremely powerful. If no entity was willing to accept the system before because it couldn't interfere too much with the world's development, then now there happens to be a suitable candidate. That is the tree spirit that Zhuang Yujing brought back to Jiuwanli. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."
This tree spirit was also something Fan Zhiyi suddenly thought of. The tree spirit followed Zhuang Yujing out of the illusion. Logically speaking, its existence itself should be mysterious, transcendent, and powerful.
Fan Zhiyi advised, "I suppose even the system can't just arbitrarily decide whether a world should be abandoned. Now that we have a solution that satisfies both sides, why are you still hesitating? If you think no system is willing to take on this important task, I recommend Bai Bai." Fan Zhiyi raised an eyebrow. This damn system had tricked him so many times, it was finally his turn. "Bai Bai and I have been partners for so long, he must be very familiar with this world. Besides, this mission was originally meant to be completed by Bai Bai and me."
"Please allow the system to discuss this."
Before the system finished speaking, Fan Zhiyi added, "Then please hurry up. Bing Nandong and I have an agreement. If the thunder doesn't dissipate within an hour and a half, everyone in this world will start a rebellion, including Bing Nandong!"
Immediately, the electronic screen in front of Fan Zhiyi went black.
Fan Zhiyi sighed. He was extremely nervous, fearing that the regulations he listed would not be able to convince the system.
Now we are just waiting for an answer. For the sake of interests, the main system will probably agree. But in this way, Baibai will have to stay in this world for a very long time, and may never be able to leave. Their system should also have performance, and no system is willing to waste time like this. It will take some effort to persuade Baibai.
