Tragically, they didn't even realize that they were no longer their true selves.
The thought that when they eat, sleep, and even share a room with their wives, the person they're with isn't actually themselves...
This scene truly chilled me to the bone; the fruits of their life's labor were ultimately seized by you.
Ultimately, this so-called "luck" is merely a cover-up for the soul of each new host.
When the host you bound to completes the final task, that is, when your soul is completely harvested by you...
The rest of the body was actually manipulated by you, am I wrong?
It is precisely because I discovered such a horrifying truth that I am even more determined to break away from you.
This kind of life, where others plunder and possess it, is a thousand times more terrifying than death.
The system's expression visibly froze.
"Therefore, in the subsequent lifetimes, I have always been thinking about how to break free from your control."
By the ninth incarnation, I had finally figured out how to get rid of you, and even, given the chance, to kill you off as well.
Of course, at the beginning, everything proceeds and performs according to the trajectory you set, with the aim of numbing your will.
Only the obsession with the Nine Netherworlds and the unexpected incident in the snowy ice plains—every step is proceeding according to your pre-planned script.
Aside from minor differences, everything else remains unchanged from previous lives.
It wasn't until another twenty years later, when I once again stood atop the highest peak to face my final destiny, that I finally got the chance to reveal your weakness.
The moment you begin to apply the laws of time reversal is when you are most relaxed, because your focus is entirely on setting up the time vortex.
That was also the period when my strength was at its weakest. The moment the countdown began was the best time for me to eliminate you. Unfortunately, in the end, my strength was just a fraction too weak to crush you instantly.
But I also successfully broke free from your control and absorbed half of the power that belonged to you, or rather, that should have been mine.
"Well, you probably didn't expect that while you were scheming against me, I had already been plotting how to get rid of you for lifetimes ago?"
The system's expression immediately twisted: "Impossible. I've detected your emotional changes. You've truly fallen in love with Yu Xiyan. The ending of your previous life was just an accident."
Shen Zhao shrugged: "Who doesn't love a beautiful woman? Besides, Yu Xiyan isn't ugly. I've never said I didn't fall in love with Yu Xiyan, but it was more of a persistent longing for someone I couldn't have."
Actually, ever since Lin Feng appeared in his second life, I've never had any hope for Yu Xiyan.
After all, I'm not going to be foolish enough to waste so much time and energy on a woman who doesn't love me.
Isn't that surprising?
Why did I still vomit blood when I learned that Raymond Lam and Yu Xiyan were being intimate at the villa?
I still feel lonely when I see them walking by the lake.
When I see her and Raymond Lam behaving very intimately in front of me, I still feel extremely suppressed and angry.
Even in the end, he began to actively distance himself from Yu Xiyan, yet he had no choice but to help him remove the Myriad Paths Slave Seal.
Sorry, but that so-called "nine lifetimes of simp" persona is all an act for you; it's all performed according to the script you envisioned.
If you had thought about it carefully back then, you would have realized that I was reborn with my memories intact. How could all the steps be almost exactly the same as in my previous life?
After all, what idiot would actually vomit blood nine times in a row while standing outside a secluded courtyard in the same situation?
What idiot would watch his woman get branded with slave marks nine times without taking any precautions beforehand?
It's just that you thought you were in control and treated me like a tool, without considering these details. Actually, if I really wanted to win over Yu Xiyan...
Why didn't I just kill Lin Feng from the very beginning of my rebirth? I could even force myself on her and no one would dare to say anything, right?
Furthermore, Yu Xiyan, the tool you arranged, unintentionally helped me a great deal. She thought that by suppressing my desires, she could control me.
Little did I know that this was exactly what I had been hoping for, so I decided to play along and let them manipulate me, thus giving me enough time and energy to plot how to target you.
After all, once I'm caught up in a sweet romance, I'm not even sure if I'll still have the focused energy to plan this whole scheme.
I endured humiliation, suppressed my emotions, and abandoned my dignity, but my purpose from beginning to end remained the same:
That is, they want to find a way to break free from your control and are unwilling to become part of your system like other hosts!
As for the "simp" persona and the disgrace, I don't care at all. All of that will be resolved once I win you over.
Because I firmly believe that money can be earned back, wounds can be healed, and dignity can be regained.
If the soul is gone, then everything can never be redeemed.
Regardless of wealth or social status, a person's destiny should always be in their own hands.
Even someone as transcendent as you cannot dictate my life or control my will!
The system remained silent for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, it slowly said, "In other words, you have been plotting against this system from the very beginning, while this system has been kept in the dark by you all along."
"Your escape from this system in your previous life wasn't a coincidence; it was a scheme you orchestrated for nine lifetimes to eliminate me?"
Shen Zhao gave a thumbs-up, then slowly pointed to the ground: "That's right, you who think you can control other people's fates and lives..."
Who would have thought that one day their own host would scheme against them so drastically?
"Host!!!"
The system roared angrily.
