Moreover, the system says that maintaining the main storyline is its supreme mission, so in the end, won't it still be turned into something inhuman by its own precious disciple?
But at this moment, Xiao Yuhan was worried. After all, she didn't know how the system was connected to her. If it died, would she also die?
Without understanding this point, Xiao Yuhan dared not act rashly, and he also had no way of knowing whether "it" was more dangerous than the system.
However, there was one thing Xiao Yuhan could not tolerate: "it" wanted him to hand over Bai Yao. Xiao Yuhan was unwilling to do this no matter what, so he temporarily gave up the idea.
At this moment, the system answered Xiao Yuhan's question: "Because you are the only transmigrator who has experienced the main storyline, the world restart can only erase the traces of the past host as a transmigrator, and cannot truly restore the timeline. Therefore, as a crucial character in the main storyline, you must have so many restrictions, and this remains the case now. If Bai Yao cannot successfully become the empress, the system will promptly kill the host, erase your traces of transmigration, and find a new host in the subsequent timeline to advance the main storyline."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan grew increasingly panicked and asked, "What would happen to this world if I died?"
"What has already happened cannot be changed, but your information as a time traveler will be erased. In other words, even if a later host thinks you are a time traveler, they will absolutely not be able to find any substantial evidence!"
Xiao Yuhan snorted softly. His heart had begun to change. At this moment, what he cared about most was restraining his inner monologue, because the system could read his inner monologue and emotions, but it could not read his thoughts.
However, to deal with the system, it was crucial to prevent it from knowing his thoughts. Given the current situation, Xiao Yuhan had already begun to consider finding a way out.
Right now, he didn't dwell on these matters too much. Instead, he looked at his senior brother, the sect leader, and senior sister Shen, and asked, "Senior brother and sister, can you guess their purpose?"
At this moment, Ye Qingyun's expression turned grim. "I think it's related to the core of the sect's protective formation. Just now, Su Li seemed somewhat wary of the sect's protective formation, and their purpose in coming here was to probe the core of the formation. I think it's related to that."
“Speaking of Lingsu City and the array core of my Heavenly Sword Sect, I remembered something. Senior Brother, what is a spiritual vein?” Xiao Yuhan suddenly asked.
Ye Qingyun was taken aback, then thought for a moment and, unwilling to keep it from his junior brother, said, "Spirit veins are the source of spiritual energy in the world, so places near spirit veins are rich in spiritual energy and suitable for establishing immortal sects. The array eye built on a spirit vein has unparalleled power. This is a very important secret, so junior brother and sister must not spread it."
Xiao Yuhan pressed on, "Of course! But senior brother, I still have to say, this matter concerning Su Li is probably not over yet, we need to be careful!"
At this moment, Ye Qingyun nodded thoughtfully. The two brothers exchanged a glance, seemingly noticing that Shen Huairu had not spoken, and then turned to look at her together.
Shen Huairu stared at the portrait in his hand, looking somewhat dazed. As if noticing their gazes, he put the portrait away, got up, and made an excuse to leave.
Xiao Yuhan stared at Shen Huairu's departing figure, as if remembering something, and murmured, "I'll talk to the people of the Great Yan Dynasty about this matter. Senior Sister didn't hurt anyone, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Remember to take the news of your senior sister's rescue to your senior brother Liu!"
Xiao Yuhan nodded thoughtfully, as if thinking about something. After a moment, she asked, "Is Senior Sister alright?"
Ye Qingyun knew his fellow disciples well and murmured, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"The relationship between Senior Sister and Li Wenruo is somewhat different."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyun shook his head. "Junior brother, don't get the wrong idea. If we really want to talk about their relationship, the best way to describe it is as 'a gentleman's friendship is as light as water.' They are confidants and close friends."
Xiao Yuhan disagreed. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Strictly speaking, Li Wenruo is already dead. He has experienced almost all kinds of hardships in the world. When his family was wiped out, he jumped into the Blood Spirit Abyss, yet he still thought of giving his senior sister an answer. He forgot his past but did not forget to send this portrait to his senior sister. Is this not love?"
"Perhaps this is Li Wenruo's cultivation?"
What do you mean by that?
Ye Qingyun sighed, then slowly walked into his master's room, staring at the portrait of Su Li on the wall. "Junior brother, do you believe that everyone is born to fulfill a certain mission?"
"I don't believe it! This sounds like the kind of nonsense monks in temples use to fool people!"
“Hey! Junior brother, you even know about Buddhism? That’s right, this is what Lianhua Temple in Youyun Prefecture uses to fool people. But I remember once when I visited an old monk, he said something that made me think for a long time. He said that some Western sects divide people into four classes from high to low: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan frowned, thinking to himself, "Isn't this the ideology of the religions of India?" He immediately said, "That's why I hate monks the most. They're hypocritical. I know what you're saying, senior brother. Brahmins are monks, Kshatriyas are nobles, Vaishyas are commoners, and Shudras are slaves. So their Buddha divides people into classes, yet still advocates equality for all beings."
Ye Qingyun turned to look at Xiao Yuhan and smiled slightly. "Actually, I'm also annoyed by those monks, but what that old monk said last time really resonated with me. He said that Buddhism doesn't divide people into four classes, but rather into four levels of existence. The fourth level is 'Shudra,' which you can interpret as slaves. What are slaves? They don't know what they should do, nor do they have the ability to do it. But if they possess either of these two qualities, they become the third level, 'Vaishya,' which you can interpret as commoners. They are ordinary people. Some people clearly know what they should do, but they don't have the ability to do it. Some people have the ability to do it, but they don't know what to do. And among these people, there are gradually those who possess both qualities, who are the second level, 'Kshatriyas.' But among those who stand on the second level, many of the things they want to do and can do are not necessarily correct. Thus, the first level, 'Brahmins,' which you can interpret as monks, arises. They clearly know what is correct and lead the way to correctness. Although this has the suspicion of Buddhism glorifying itself, this old monk's explanation is not without reason. This is also a realm of cultivating the mind."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan couldn't bear to listen anymore, thinking to himself, "Senior brother, how come you, a Taoist sect leader, are studying Buddhism?"
"What does all this have to do with the mission my senior brother mentioned?"
Ye Qingyun turned to look at Xiao Yuhan, “Some people can only stand on a certain level in their entire lives and cannot break free. So their mission in this life is on that level. Just like Li Wenruo, his mission is destined to be on the first level. He will spend his whole life working on that thing until he completes it. That is his mission, and his mission is to guide Junior Sister Shen on the path!”
