Feng Yuanning didn't believe the system's assurances: "Are you planning to get rid of me after reaching the maximum level?"
She won't be fooled. Is she stupid to gamble her life on a possibility?
The system replied: "No, the system will never harm the host."
"...After all, we've worked together for such a long time, can't you just tell me the answer directly? You said before that after completing the system test, you'll have the chance to become an immortal. Is that a lie?"
“Indeed, the host has already started cultivating immortality.
Feng Yuanning: “…”
"As for the answer the host wants, it's not that the system chose the host, but that the host chose the system. Does the host still remember his obsession?"
Feng Yuanning was slightly startled, and thought: "My obsession? What obsession do I have?"
If you were to say what her biggest obsession was before she traveled through time, it would probably be that one day she wouldn't have to work overtime, wouldn't have to struggle with endless coding, and could just stay at home and play games leisurely.
Her favorite game types are, of course, various business development games.
But what kind of obsession is this? At best, it can only be said to be her life ideal.
The system said: "Management game."
"Okay. Then why can't the martial arts world be controlled?"
"I cannot answer this question. Please continue to practice diligently, or take shortcuts by completing tasks to unlock the hidden memories."
Feng Yuanning fell into deep thought. Since the mission wasn't mandatory and there were other solutions, could it be that the system truly had no intention of harming her? But what extraordinary hidden memories could she, an ordinary, working class person, possess?
She was so curious that she was scratching her head.
So, should I practice on my own or take shortcuts?
Feng Yuanning really couldn't make up his mind, so he could only browse the system interface first.
She opened the hotel management interface, only to see that the hotel's 3D map hadn't changed.
Afterwards, she entered the Dimension Gate management interface. Sure enough, after taking control of the apocalyptic world, she was now able to search for a new world.
She immediately searched for the new world, and soon found a new world XX3315.
"What type of world is this?"
"To answer the host, I can only roughly determine that it is a world of immortal heroes. Please explore the specific situation on your own."
Feng Yuanning nodded, stood up and left the room.
As soon as she came out, she felt something was wrong, but after looking around, she felt that nothing seemed to be wrong.
She shook her head in confusion and walked forward. Unexpectedly, after taking just one step, she walked out of the corridor.
Feng Yuanning was stunned. "Could this be the infinite folding space? What exactly does it do? It can't just shorten the distance, right?"
The system replied: "Host, with the infinite folding space, the store's facilities will no longer be limited by space. No matter how many guests you want to accommodate, you can do so."
"So, no matter how many guests there are, the inn can accommodate them?"
"yes."
Feng Yuanning walked into the elevator. The elevator was working normally, but after entering the lobby, something abnormal happened again.
Obviously, the area of the lobby has not changed, and there are indeed quite a few people gathered in the store, but it does not look crowded. The whole space gives people a strong sense of dislocation.
Feng Yuanning stopped in front of the elevator.
At this moment, at the hotel entrance, the guests trapped in the apocalypse are returning one after another. They walk to the front desk in confusion and gather in front of the cash register to sign up for the competition.
The competition was to be held tomorrow, so as soon as they came back, they rushed to sign up.
"What the hell is going on? There are changes in the hotel again?"
"It's really confusing. I was clearly at the front door just now, so how did I end up at the front desk after just one step?"
"The owner is as amazing as ever, it's truly magical."
Some guests walked around curiously, sometimes appearing at the gate, sometimes at the front desk, sometimes at the vending machine, and sometimes at the entrance to the courtyard.
Some people were discussing the changes in the hotel, while others were discussing the end of the world.
"The critical point shouldn't be that low, right? I think it's probably because the owner took action personally that the apocalypse ended so quickly."
"Who knows? Maybe it's that low?"
"They say the Master of Light can save the world, but what's the result? Doesn't the owner still have to do it himself?"
"At the beginning, we were indeed too lazy, so the progress was slow. The owner must have been very disappointed, so he took matters into his own hands. This is our fault."
"Shopkeeper, you're here. Was it you who released that golden halo?"
Feng Yuanning came back to his senses, nodded, and looked around at everyone hesitantly.
Or, should she really find a Level 5 to challenge? She really wanted to know what hidden memories she had.
At this moment, the three fifth-level masters were present, namely Luo Xiaofeng, Xuanyi Hou, and Yu Tianyi. These three people have always been respectful to her, perhaps they are trustworthy.
"Shop owner, so the end of the world was really ended by you personally?" The guests showed admiration on their faces.
Feng Yuanning nodded. Although she had borrowed external objects, it was indeed she who ended the apocalypse, and she even took considerable risks for it.
After she gave her reply, she was immediately greeted with a series of flattery. Instead of praising her to the sky, it gave her goose bumps.
Feng Yuanning could no longer bear it and could only change the subject: "Luo Xiaofeng, are you willing to fight me?"
As soon as she said that, she immediately regretted it and wanted to slap herself to death.
Before she knew it, she had spoken out what she had been thinking about.
The lobby fell silent for a moment.
Luo Xiaofeng's expression changed slightly, and she asked in fear and trepidation, "Shopkeeper, did I do something wrong?"
Feng Yuanning was so angry that he wanted to beat himself to death, but he gritted his teeth and pretended to be expressionless: "No, you're fine."
Seeing her calm expression, Luo Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much for your kindness, shop owner. Thank you for your guidance."
Since the owner had this attitude, it was obvious that she just wanted to give her some advice.
This is not a bad thing, but a good thing.
The guests all looked at him with envy and jealousy.
"..." Feng Yuanning tried his best to remain calm and walked out of the hotel. When he was about to walk down the steps of the gatehouse, he hesitated, wondering how to regret it.
If she really goes out, it will be her first time to walk out of the hotel and truly enter this martial arts world.
How could she not hesitate, how could she not be nervous? Once she stepped out, there would be no turning back.
Luo Xiaofeng followed her out, but left the hotel building before her, and other guests also followed out to join in the fun.
Feng Yuanning felt as if he was being burned on the fire. He spoke out his inner thoughts in a moment of haste, and the result was that he would not be able to escape from the consequences.
Wait, the system only lets her fight against a fifth-level strongman, but it doesn’t say that a fifth-level strongman cannot suppress his own realm when fighting against her, right?
Perhaps, she could use her identity as a shop owner to test whether Luo Xiaofeng would agree to this condition and help her exploit the loopholes in the system.
Thinking of this, Feng Yuanning relaxed a little, subconsciously took a step forward, and walked out of the hotel.
Then she froze.
She vaguely felt that something seemed to be pulling at her body, a pull coming from deep within her blood.
She couldn't help but look up, and saw that the sky was blue and there was nothing unusual.
Could it be that the system hadn't deceived her? Was there really a hidden plot behind her?
Feng Yuanning lowered his head and walked towards a nearby open space in deep thought.
After standing still, I heard Luo Xiaofeng across from me say, "Shopkeeper, shall we start now?"
Feng Yuanning nodded, hesitant in her heart, should she trust the system? She vaguely felt that perhaps she should trust the system.
Yes, believe it.
"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry." As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xiaofeng swung his sword with a serious expression.
She didn't dare to be careless and didn't dare to let the owner down. She used all her strength to strike the sword, just to perform better in front of the owner.
But she didn't know—
Feng Yuanning's strength was far inferior to hers. For a moment, he was hit by the sword before he even had time to move.
Then, in full view of everyone, she turned into a drop of colorful blood, shot into the sky, disappeared into the void, and was never seen again.
Guests: “?!!”
Luo Xiaofeng was so scared that she dropped her sword, and the shop owner turned into a drop of blood. What was going on?
Everyone looked towards the Xianyuan Hotel not far away, and saw that the twenty-story building was still standing there, without any changes because of the owner.
…
In the void.
A huge corpse was floating there. It had lost one leg and no heart in its chest. Its body was covered with scars, but the torn wounds did not bleed.
This corpse seems like it will decay and disappear at any time, but there is a world living on this corpse, constantly absorbing the remaining power in the corpse.
At this moment, a drop of blood suddenly appeared nearby. The next moment, the corpse turned into thousands of ashes and melted into the drop of blood. Immediately, the blood drop turned into a human form, which was exactly the appearance of Feng Yuanning.
Feng Yuanning closed his eyes for a long time, then frowned and opened his eyes, his expression becoming very ugly.
The system prompt sounded in her mind: "Congratulations to the host for completing the task. The hidden memory has now been unlocked."
Feng Yuanning: “…”
Still pretending? Still installing a system? It wasn't a system at all, but an innate spiritual treasure that had long been recognized as the master by her soul.
During this period of time, it has been having a lot of fun disguised as a system and taking advantage of other people's money.
She glanced at the small world inside Lingbao - its secret source of goods.
In the small world, the puppets were working diligently, producing a variety of products and taking care of large tracts of spiritual fields. In the warehouses, all kinds of things were piled up like mountains.
Most of these warehouses contained her past collections. She had roamed the Three Thousand Worlds for many years, enjoying collecting and studying all kinds of things. Unexpectedly, this had become her source of goods and a repository of prizes.
As for the corpse just now, it was the corpse of her previous life, and the world it inhabited was the world of martial arts.
The martial arts world evolved from her corpse, and everything in this world came from her.
However, for some unknown reason, the martial arts world had not yet fully evolved, and her previous life's corpse had survived for several thousand years, allowing it to contribute its remaining power to her reincarnation.
Ah, that’s not right. This can’t be considered a reincarnation. The reason why she is alive now is because after her previous death, she preserved a remnant soul, and was reborn with this drop of her own blood.
The power contained in her blood essence was pitifully small, so she even degenerated into a weak baby and grew up as an orphan.
Because the body is too weak, the soul can only be sealed, so naturally there is no memory, just like reincarnation.
But in fact, this is naturally not reincarnation. She is still herself, which is why she can feel the connection in her blood and perfectly inherit her previous power.
Feng Yuanning began to question the "system": "Tell me, why do you do this?"
"Master, don't you like playing management games?"
Feng Yuanning rolled his eyes. "Is that what I'm asking? I'm asking you, why are you helping the Heavenly Dao and ruining my corpse?"
Of course she knew that although it seemed like it was being too generous to her, it was indeed catering to her needs. At least during this period of time, she had a lot of fun.
"Master, the story is this: after your death, your corpse was supposed to transform into a new world, but during this time, a consciousness was born. Although this consciousness was confused, it also had a strong desire to survive. Naturally, it did not want to be transformed into nutrients, and instead has been suppressing the way of heaven. I simply gave it a push, facilitating the demise of this consciousness. The upgrade of the world was incidental and beyond my control. If I hadn't done this, with your current strength, it would be impossible to reclaim your power. As for this martial arts world, I am ready to take control of it at any time. However, this world is yours after all. Do you want to reclaim your power?"
"Take back the power? Forget it, I don't want to destroy the world." Feng Yuan would rather not do such a cruel thing.
"But if those people come to our door..."
Feng Yuanning shook his head. "Thousands of years have passed. Their attention has long since shifted, and the limelight has faded. Besides, even in my prime, I was no match for them. Why would I need to recover?"
During these thousands of years, those people kept pursuing her, so she could only hide quietly. Only when the storm had passed did she finally dare to revive.
As for the reason why those people hunted her, it was of course because she was in possession of a treasure.
The source of the "system" was indeed provided by her in the past, but its function of assisting cultivation has always existed. What it has revealed so far is just the tip of the iceberg, which is why it has attracted so much covetousness.
Fortunately, the storm has passed now. As long as she stays calm for a while, there's no need to worry about not being able to recover her strength. Maybe she will even be able to reach a higher level soon.
"Master, since you don't intend to take back your power, can you allow me to control this martial arts world?"
"Whatever you want."
"Okay, master. As long as I control more and more worlds, there will be fewer and fewer people who can hurt you in my home turf." For it, the invincible aura is actually called absolute defense. As long as it has enough energy, the absolute defense will not be broken before the energy is consumed.
"But the prerequisite is that there is enough energy. That's why you couldn't help me before, so I was hunted to death." Feng Yuanning took a deep breath, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Why did you rarely communicate with me before? Why didn't you tell me the truth?"
"Master, even if I told you, how could you believe me so easily if your memory hasn't recovered? Besides, you've been hiding for years, your mind is clouded. Ultimately, you need to muster up the courage to step out of your comfort zone before you can finally break through. Furthermore, once your identity is exposed, the laws of the martial arts world will not let you go. This kind of unnecessary trouble is best avoided."
Feng Yuanning: “…”
I'm so angry, this isn't Heaven's will, this is robbery, right?!
In fact, after losing the nourishment of her corpse, the world can still gradually become stronger, but not so quickly.
It might take thousands or even tens of thousands of years for it to make even a slight improvement. Of course, if it's unlucky and the creatures in the world mess around, it might slowly decline.
"Master, don't be angry. Heaven's way is Heaven's way. Heaven's way is ruthless and only cares about profit. The creatures in this world still respect you very much."
Feng Yuanning finally calmed down a bit: "Don't you want to control this world? Go ahead~"
The guests who flatter her are quite cute, even though they are too corny and always give her goosebumps.
"Master, just as you agreed, I have already taken control of this world. Do you want to go back to the hotel now?"
"Of course I have to go back and develop the Xianxia world as soon as possible."
Feng Yuanning happily returned to Xianyuan Hotel. Due to the difference in the speed of time, she just happened to catch up with the official competition in the hotel.
