Chapter 85 Penglai Participates
System: [You've convinced me, I agree.]
"Yeah." Ruan Wei laughed when she heard it. "Why do I feel like you've become much smarter after this breakdown?"
The electronic voice paused, as if expressing a sense of silence: […Alright. So you think the modern you doesn't exist?]
Ruan Wei shook her head. "There aren't enough samples, so we can't analyze the results."
"This isn't the first time Chi Jin has seen me, and it won't be the last time I see him."
She said slowly, "I understand myself. So, no matter in the past, present, or future, people like me will always find a way out of a situation where death is inevitable."
Given the chaotic timeline currently known, she can only trust herself.
The self who went to so much trouble in the previous life.
What she sees and hears should be meaningful.
System: [So you decided to wait and see?]
"Right," Ruan Wei said simply, "Since there's nothing we can do, we might as well go with the flow."
"Tell me, what else have you discovered?"
As soon as the words fell.
[It's a bit complicated to explain, so let me show you.]
Ruan Wei suddenly felt a tremor deep in his sea of consciousness. The source of the system sound was covered by thick black fog. It was always the place where the fog condensed, but suddenly a black shadow flashed.
Ruan Wei's pupils shrank slightly.
From the depths of her sea of consciousness, a young man walked out.
The young man was about the same height as Wu Yu, with red hair and watery eyes. His red hair reached his shoulders, his skin was fair, and he was wearing a white robe. His round eyes were full of calmness.
He put on a stern face, put his hands behind his back, walked slowly to Ruan Wei, and nodded slightly at her.
"?"
ah?
Silence permeates the space.
Ruan Wei's phone was down for a moment before he said in disbelief, "Help?"
The boy nodded, but didn't speak. The electronic voice continued to ring in Ruan Wei's ears: [Hmm.]
After discovering the ultimate command, I, um... according to the saying in the cultivation world, I transformed. The system doesn't have a transformation function.
The boy frowned: [Besides, this look is not what I set.]
[I seem to...have always looked like this.]
Ruan Wei listened quietly, and after the system paused, she said, "Are you saying this is the original you?"
The system is version 2.0.
Then what was this original boy like?
The young man nodded, and after a long pause, he raised his watery eyes and looked directly at Ruan Wei:
[Based on your speculation, I agree that there is only one you in this world. And my ultimate command tells me that the reason I transformed from a humanoid into a system is most likely related to you.]
[Ruan Wei, I may be a human, a demon beast, or a spirit... In short, I am not a robot.]
I used to think that humans were wasting their lives searching for the truth, but after I transformed, I began to understand why you seek the truth.
The young man was extremely sincere and his expression was no longer stiff.
His electronic voice seemed to have a bit of a boyish voice:
I want to know about my past.
[Ruan Wei, please help me, I will always stand by your side.]
When you have a desire for knowledge.
It is no longer it, but he.
He cannot leave Ruan Wei's body, and as Ruan Wei's strength grows, he may even be blocked by Ruan Wei forever.
This is Ruan Wei's life, but his death.
Finding the system's past was no easy task. He and Ruan Wei both knew that stuffing a soul into a mechanical creation couldn't be a pleasant experience.
They both knew:
High probability.
Ruan Wei himself is the instigator, accomplice, promoter, or anything else.
The emergence of that ultimate instruction proves that the system is a system.
She can't get away with it.
But when Ruan Wei realized that there was only one self from the beginning to the end, the system no longer had a say.
She was no longer afraid that the system would send her back to the real world. In fact, Ruan Wei was only frightened for a few days at the beginning.
Then she discovered that the system had no energy left.
It even needs to sleep to keep functioning.
As early as four years ago, Ruan Wei no longer took its words to heart and began to concentrate on exploring her origins and destination.
As for today's negotiations——
Ruan Wei certainly understood why the system took the initiative to reveal everything.
After being together for such a long time, the two of them have a certain understanding of each other.
The system knows.
It was only a matter of time before Ruan Wei discovered the truth.
Between active confession and passive discovery, even a fool would know which to choose.
Therefore, the system wants to break the deadlock.
He could only take the initiative to seek cooperation with Ruan Wei, after all, he was the one who asked for something now.
The system directly revealed its ultimate instruction to Ruan Wei, which meant: I know my current situation is related to you, but if you help me find my past, I will still stand on your side.
The young man looked at Ruan Wei eagerly, his big almond-shaped eyes looked quite cute.
Seeing that Ruan Wei hadn't responded, the system became anxious: [I'm serious. As long as you help me, everything will be over.]
"The memory you just saw was discovered in the database along with the Ultimate Command after I transformed. I consulted with you immediately; that's a testament to my sincerity."
"And now I know why my energy has been dwindling over the past few years. It's because of you. You thought it was just a memory, but now you know you've been constantly traveling back in time."
The system's expression of loyalty is very sincere.
At least Ruan Wei gradually let down her guard and began to carefully examine the young boy in front of her.
Help him.
Ruan Wei will not get any benefits.
Ruan Wei pondered for a long time before slowly nodding:
"Can."
But, don't help him.
I might feel guilty later.
ah!
She is such a kind person~
-
Ruan Wei made an agreement with the system.
Ruan Wei will try her best to find the system's past. In exchange, the system must put her first.
Except for the main plot of saving the world, nothing can be changed.
System: [From now on, I will not interfere with any of your decisions. But you must promise that, while everything can change, saving the world is still what you must do.]
"I understand you. Ruan Wei, you can no longer bear to leave your Master, Uncle, and your fellow disciples behind."
Ruan Wei, "Okay."
She looked at the pointer deep in her sea of consciousness, and it stopped steadily at 70%.
Ruan Wei understood that her ultimate goal and the system's ultimate goal were the same.
For the common people.
So far.
Ruan Wei's sea of consciousness finally became hers to rule.
Oh my god, at least I won’t be called a pervert by the system anymore!
-
The monk's time passes in the blink of an eye.
One year has passed.
The Wanjian Sect is very lively today.
The Wanjian Sect was founded atop the highest peak in Tongzhou. The layers of mountains were usually quiet, with only the chirping of birds to be heard, but on this day, they were bustling with activity. The vendors at the foot of the mountain formed a continuous wave of people. In the air, all sorts of flying boats, magical instruments, and individuals wielding swords whizzed past, whistling against the wind.
Looking at the colorful streams of light in the sky, a wandering cultivator sighed, "Another batch of talented people has emerged!"
Someone on the side echoed: "Yes, every time there is a century-long competition, many people become famous at a young age, and their road to fame is smooth and unobstructed from then on."
Another cultivator came over, his face full of gossip. "Oh right! Have you all heard? This year, the ten major sects are gathering together! Penglai, do you know the Penglai Immortal Sect on Tianwai Fairy Island? They're participating this year too!"
"What?! Penglai Immortal Sect? Fellow Daoist, is this information reliable? They haven't participated in the Ten Directions Competition for hundreds of years!"
Penglai participates in the competition?!
This is big news. What the hell are the Tongzhou tabloids doing? They don’t even report this!
The Tongzhou tabloids have been really slack this year.
Nothing new can keep up with what’s hot.
The man swore solemnly, "Of course it's reliable. This is what my aunt's great-uncle's niece's cousin said himself. He is an inner disciple of the Wanjian Sect. The first match of the Ten Directions Competition is always held in the Wanjian Sect. They have prepared nine residences this year!"
Someone noticed: "Wow! There are ten flags at the foot of the mountain too! It looks like it's real."
"I also heard that one of the contestants from the Penglai Immortal Sect is the younger sister of Ruan Ruanzhi, the head of the Ruan family! I think, her name is... Ruan Wei?"
"I know that too! Didn't the Ruan family's Patriarch and his sister help their father get justice last year? The previous one, Ruan He, was interrogated by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and imprisoned in the Soul Locking Prison."
There are many people who focus on appearance: "There were rumors before that Ruan Wei is extremely beautiful, comparable to Liu Duzheng of the Wanjian Sect."
He was simply courting death by talking about Liu Duzheng at the foot of the Wanjian Sect mountain.
Someone in the crowd immediately cursed, "Bullshit! Do you think anyone can be compared to Fairy Liu?!"
"That's right! Fairy Liu is recognized as the most beautiful woman!"
Some people admire it, and naturally some people mock it:
"What did I think it was? The universally recognized number one beauty? People have many preferences, and there are all kinds of beauties. You, the Wanjian Sect bootlickers, have been paid, right? Why are you flattering someone like this?!"
"Let's not even mention the Hehuan Sect. Even Mu Sheng from the Kunyin Sect and Jiang Rongrong from the Wangxi Valley, which one of them is inferior to Liu Duzheng?!"
The crowd was outraged.
There will be pushing and shoving when they argue with each other.
"Shut up!"
A female cultivator in a purple skirt gracefully leaped down, swung her sword, and the phantom purple sword energy directly split the crowd on both sides.
