wake
Strange voices came and went around me.
"Hey, it's moving, the fingers are moving!"
"The eyes are moving too! Is he waking up?"
"Well, that's hard to say. Didn't he move his fingers last time? But he still didn't wake up?"
......
It’s so noisy, how can I sleep?
Xiao Ze wanted to open his mouth to curse this group of people, but found that his mouth was stiff and couldn't open.
There was also darkness in front of me.
He wanted to see how shameless this person was, insisting on talking around his bed.
His eyes rolled and Xiao Ze opened them tremblingly.
Suddenly, unfamiliar faces appeared before my eyes, and I leaned in closer to take a look.
Seeing that he woke up, a younger man shouted loudly: "He's awake, he's awake, he's really awake this time!" and ran out.
Xiao Ze was alert and wanted to stand up and step back, but he found that his body seemed to be rusted. He had to use a lot of strength to move a little bit.
After a while, the person who ran out brought back an old man with white eyebrows and beard, who looked kind and benevolent.
When the people around saw him coming, they all gave up their seats.
The old man sat by the bed, took Xiao Ze's pulse, and examined his body. He nodded and said, "There will be no big problem after you wake up."
Xiao Ze's heart was full of doubts. Finally, when he couldn't help but ask who these people were, a familiar person finally appeared.
The system, transformed into a child, walked in. Before Xiao Ze could be happy when he saw him, the system rushed over like a small cannonball: "Dad! You finally woke up! I missed you so much!"
Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?
When did I become a father?
Did I travel through time again?
This kid is really not a system?!
Seeing the child lying on Xiao Ze crying heart-wrenchingly, the people around were moved to tears: "Let's go out first and let these poor father and son have a good talk."
An old lady wiped her tears and led the way out.
Everyone also closed the door considerately.
Xiao Ze stood up with difficulty, looked at the child who looked like a system but might not be a system, and asked hesitantly: "I am your father?"
The system had just put away its trick when it heard Xiao Ze's words. It didn't have time to wipe the tears from its face. It knelt beside the bed, held Xiao Ze's head and shook it.
"Huh? I just changed my body, why did I lose my memory?"
Xiao Ze heard the muttering and suddenly realized it. He slapped the system's hand away from his head and said, "I don't have amnesia."
The system was skeptical: "Then who am I?"
"Heh," Xiao Ze sneered, "System."
The system was relieved.
"Tell me, how did I become your father? Also, what about that body change you just mentioned?"
"That's a long story."
"Then I'll make it short."
"Tsk." The system wrinkled its nose, very dissatisfied with Xiao Ze's attitude.
"You and the Soul Devouring Hall Master perished together, and I only saved your soul. Then I returned to the space station, spent all my wages, and went back to before your car accident. I brought your body back and placed your soul inside."
"It's just that your soul was seriously injured, so I found a place with abundant spiritual energy so that you can recover faster."
"Is this the place with abundant spiritual energy that you are looking for?" Xiao Ze asked.
"Well," the system said proudly, "I spent a long time searching for this safest and most suitable place for you. It even mentioned that you are my comatose old father, and the villagers here are taking good care of us."
Then he added angrily, "How else do you think you can get better so quickly? This is all thanks to me, okay?"
"Thank you." Xiao Ze's thanks were sincere this time.
He was already prepared to die when he self-destructed, but he didn't expect the system to try its best to save him.
"Hmph, I'm glad to know."
"So, is your mission complete? What does your Lord God say?"
At this point, the system revealed a confused expression: "The Lord God said before that I had caused a great disaster. Later, when I returned to the space to save you, he said that everything was destined. He also allowed me to stay in this world for another life."
Xiao Ze suddenly realized: "It is destiny that you and I meet, and it is also destiny that I meet him."
All these things are destined to happen.
The system still didn't understand. Wasn't his acquaintance with Xiao Ze due to a momentary oversight? What did it have to do with heaven?
Regardless of whether the system figured it out or not, Xiao Ze was eager to know about Su Qingjun's situation: "How is he?"
"Who? The protagonist? Oh, no, Jiang Xi?" asked the system.
Ignoring his change of words, Xiao Ze could only point out the name: "Su Qingjun, I'm asking how Su Qingjun is doing."
He still remembered Su Qingjun's anxious expression and sadness when he blew himself up.
"Ah, him." The system hesitated, nervously opened the door and looked outside, then looked around the room. Then it came to Xiao Ze and said in a low voice, "Don't be so loud. Set up a barrier first."
Only then did Xiao Ze feel his own cultivation level, which was at the early stage of Golden Core.
After the system replaced his body, it also retained most of his cultivation. It seemed that he would be too embarrassed to bully the system while it stayed in this world.
After setting up the barrier, the system was still worried. It still leaned against Xiao Ze and lowered its voice: "He is extremely scary now. The cultivators nowadays don't dare to call him by his name. They just say 'that person'."
Xiao Ze was really confused by him. Su Qingjun was a kind and gentle person who treated people gently and fairly. How could he make people so scared?
Wait, Xiao Ze suddenly realized a problem: "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Eight years," the system replied, as if it thought such a short period of coma was normal.
"Eight years! Didn't you say I recovered quickly?" Xiao Ze stood up in shock.
"Eight years has already gone by incredibly fast, alright. You self-destructed your golden elixir, your body was annihilated, and your soul was severely damaged. It's a miracle you're waking up!"
What the system said does make sense.
Xiao Ze only thought he was in a coma for a few months, or at most a year. He never expected that he would actually sleep for eight years.
Eight years is enough time for anyone to believe that they are completely dead.
Xiao Ze sat down somewhat helplessly: "So what exactly happened in these eight years?"
"Su Qingjun merged the four major sects into one. Although they are still divided into four locations, there is only one master, and that is him."
The battle with the Soul Devouring Hall back then was turned into defeat because of the mutual suspicion among the various sects. So Su Qingjun realized this and did this.
But isn’t that a good thing?
Understanding Xiao Ze's confused expression, the system continued to explain: "He wanted to merge, but the other sects definitely disagreed. He killed all those cultivators who disagreed. Tianxuan Sect, Yushou Sect, Hehuan Sect and Dafo Temple, blood flowed like a river. No one could stop him. In the end, everyone was scared and compromised."
Yes, every sect has its own idea of becoming the king, so how could they easily compromise with Su Qingjun?
It seems that this radical method is the only way to unite all the cultivators in the world today.
"All cultivators become disciples of the same sect. Su Qingjun said that the most important sect rule is mutual trust and support among disciples."
"At first, some cultivators refused to obey, so Su Qingjun would persuade them. If that didn't work, he would kill them. From then on, everyone began to fear him, and his name became a taboo that no one dared to mention."
"Are these stories something you saw with your own eyes, or are they stories passed down through word of mouth?"
"I've been taking care of you so much that I don't have time to see what Su Qingjun has done. I only heard what the villagers here said."
As expected, Xiao Ze thought to himself.
The Su Qingjun he knew would never kill a cultivator indiscriminately.
Even if it is for the purpose of merging the four major sects, they will only kill those leaders or elders who are considered to be black sheep when they have no other choice.
After all, what does the open and secret struggles between sects have to do with the cultivators below?
These rumors might be malicious slanders from those dissatisfied elders.
Whether Su Qingjun intervened or not, she couldn't explain it clearly.
Xiao Ze sighed and prepared to pack his bags, but after looking around the house, he remembered that he was just staying here temporarily, so what was there to pack?
The system noticed his strange behavior and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to find Su Qingjun."
The system instantly took a breath of cold air and grabbed Xiao Ze's sleeve: "Are you going to die?"
Although Su Qingjun is notorious now, the system at least knows that they are old acquaintances, so it won't be so scared.
"You're not thinking about going to Su Qingjun and joining him because you and he were fellow disciples and had a good relationship?" the system asked, while still holding his hand tightly.
Xiao Ze felt strange and wanted to tease the system again, "Yeah, my former good brother is so powerful now, I must go to him to get some credit!"
The system was so angry that it was about to jump up: "I went through so much trouble to save you, not to let you die!"
"To die? Why do you think so?"
The system pulled Xiao Ze back to sit beside the bed. "Jiang Xi, the original protagonist, was also impressed by Su Qingjun's prowess and wanted to take advantage of her. Do you know what happened to him in the end?"
Jiang Xi, speaking of it, Xiao Ze was really curious about how he was doing now. He had cheated him so many times in the past, so he couldn't be living a happy life now, right?
"What will be the outcome?" Xiao Ze asked.
"His golden core was directly shattered by Su Qingjun, and all his cultivation was destroyed. Tu Sihua wanted to avenge him, but was killed by Su Qingjun. Liang Cheng saw that his cultivation was completely lost, and soon he found a new lover. He has now become a useless person who can do nothing."
"Is this what you heard?" Xiao Ze asked doubtfully.
"How is this possible? This is the final ending shown in the book!" The system was angry that Xiao Ze didn't believe him.
"Does the book explain why Su Qingjun treated Jiang Xi this way?"
The system rubbed its head awkwardly before saying, "He scolded you."
"Scold me?" Xiao Ze couldn't believe it. How could he be involved with him again?
"Yeah. Jiang Xi called you a vixen for stealing Su Qingjun away from him. And..."
"What else did he do?"
"He also destroyed the house you built when you first arrived, and harassed Su Qingjun whenever he had the chance. At first, Liang Cheng and Tu Sihua protected him, and he managed to escape a few times. Later, Su Qingjun couldn't stand it anymore, so..."
Xiao Ze was shocked. Su Qingjun had such a good temper. If it were him, he would have destroyed his golden elixir the first time and thrown him far away so that he would never get in the way again.
And that idiot Tu Sihua, couldn't he see that Jiang Xi had been using him from beginning to end? He even went to assassinate Su Qingjun, and he paid the price for his stupidity.
"So, you're afraid that after I go there, Su Qingjun will destroy my golden elixir?"
The system nodded frantically. This was the cultivation level he had managed to preserve with great difficulty.
No matter what he said, it didn't make sense. The system just wouldn't let him go find Su Qingjun. He was really like a child who gave his father a headache.
"Then I can't not practice. Nowadays, the cultivation techniques are still kept in the collection of various sects. No matter what, I have to go. I don't want to be just a Jindan for the rest of my life."
The system was finally persuaded a little: "Then will you go to find Su Qingjun?"
"I can't find him even if I look for him. Think about it, he is the only supreme master in the world, and I am just a small cultivator. We have no connection at all."
"Okay then, I'll go with you."
"If we're together, I can't call you System anymore. You can just take my last name, Xiao Tong. You can still call me Dad, how about that?"
The system rolled its eyes: "Get lost!"
After a pause, he suddenly remembered something: "You can't call yourself Xiao Ze anymore?"
"Ah?" Xiao Ze was puzzled.
"After you destroyed the Soul Devouring Hall, the Tianxuan Sect announced your deeds to the world. Now you are a great hero. You also go out under the name Xiao Ze, which is too eye-catching. What's more, your body is not much different from before."
"Then what's my name?" Xiao Ze was a little helpless.
"Just call yourself Xiao Jue."
The two of them had their new names decided upon.
