Listening to the intermittent sounds of the system program, Zhou Xingdou fell into deep thought. Even the system itself restricted the program that was unintentionally created from revealing this person's name.
That basically confirms that this is no longer speculation, and there is a high probability that his rebirth was done by this person.
According to the system program, the system's appearance on him is also related to this person, which means that everything about him was arranged by this person.
Or am I merely a pawn in this person's game?
The thought made Zhou Xingdou's heart skip a beat.
But this only fueled Stephen Chow's curiosity about this person, since daydreaming is meaningless, as is fear.
Whether someone is good or bad, friend or foe, can only be determined by knowing who that person is.
However, what surprised Zhou Xingdou was the attitude of the system program. Even though it was the system itself that restricted what it could say, it still tried to find ways to circumvent the system's restrictions and tell him. This always seemed abnormal.
However, regardless of whether it was unusual or not, Stephen Chow's curiosity had been piqued, and it was impossible for it to end there.
As the system stated, this person is someone they know, which directly reduces the pool of potential victims to an extremely small number.
Zhou Xingdou didn't even need the system program to answer yes or no to confirm; several figures and names immediately flashed through his mind.
Finally, a majestic and warm figure appeared in Zhou Xingdou's mind, causing the other figures to instantly crumble, and making Zhou Xingdou feel that there was no need to guess anymore.
To rebirth oneself and have the system choose one's way, while potentially using Stephen Chow as a pawn, comes at a great cost.
The matter of rebirth can be summed up in just two words, but actually doing it is almost impossible.
Because Stephen Chow wasn't reborn in the future, but rather returned to the past with his future consciousness, this can't be explained in just a few words.
Moreover, even the Heavenly Dao cannot know about such a rebirth, and believes it is absolutely impossible for this person to occur. Even if this person has extraordinary strength, he will have to pay a huge price.
He also has his own system, which feeds on destiny and fortune, and is known as the strongest in all the heavens. All other cheat codes seem to be nourishment in front of him.
Even though it hasn't yet achieved its full potential, Zhou Xingdou wouldn't trade it for a high-level world. It's hard to understand why this incredible thing would choose him.
Even if this being is so powerful that he doesn't need the system's assistance, if Zhou Xingdou were to do it, he would leave it to his own descendants rather than to outsiders.
Therefore, the person who gave him a second chance at life and made the system choose him is self-evident.
Zhou Xingdou's face showed an expression of utter incomprehension. His silvery-white eyes, filled with a purple aura, were now filled with bitterness and confusion. He murmured to himself as he spoke:
"Why go through all this trouble? Why didn't you tell me? Why do so many things without letting me know..."
At that moment, Zhou Xingdou's gaze also turned north:
"Why is that?...Grandpa?"
The system program also spoke at this moment:
[Ding! It seems the host has already guessed, so I won't say any more.]
Yes, only Zhou Xingdou's closest relatives could do such a thing. The only person with the power to do so is probably his grandfather, Zhou Wuji, the head of the Zhou family, whom no one can see through.
Although Zhou Xingdou initially felt that the system program's words could not be completely trusted, and that it was just a speculation, he has now chosen to believe it completely.
Because there is no better answer. If there really is such a person, then it can only be Zhou Xingdou's grandfather, Zhou Wuji.
But then more questions arose in Stephen Chow's mind.
If one can defy the laws of nature and the long river of time to be reborn, then why must one go through that death?
Lin Fan is merely a chosen one; how could he possibly surpass the Heavenly Dao? His grandfather, on the other hand, possessed the power to allow him to be reborn without the Heavenly Dao's knowledge.
Then why should I die at Lin Fan's hands? Even if Heaven itself wanted me dead, my grandfather would never do it if he intervened.
Then why do I need to be reborn?
Why let yourself experience death? Is it less costly to be reborn than to save yourself?
But how is that possible?
Moreover, why did the Zhou family go into seclusion and sever ties with him in his previous life?
And why did you choose to live in seclusion?
Could there be something in Chu Yuan that would force the Zhou family to abandon their young master and go into seclusion?
Moreover, his grandfather is so powerful, what is the point of everything he does now? He's been scheming and plotting without ever stopping, is it all just playing house in the end?
As Stephen Chow once said, when you pursue a question, even if you get the answer, you will also get more inexplicable questions.
This is exactly what happened to Stephen Chow now. He got the answer he wanted, but the questions that could be explained or had already been explained were completely overturned.
Moreover, even more new problems arose, leaving Stephen Chow in a state of utter confusion, his mind filled with countless questions.
This made Zhou Xingdou almost want to return to the Zhou family immediately and ask his grandfather Zhou Wuji in person why all this was happening.
Zhou Xingdou's concern for these issues has surpassed everything else; now, Xuanjizi, Yun Jinzhi, the Great Calamity... and everything else are irrelevant.
It could even be described as insignificant.
He just wanted to know why all this was happening. If he had such great power, why did he have to die and come back to life? Was everything he had planned and schemed for just a joke?
Was every step I took anticipated by my grandfather? Was even my death in my previous life caused by him?
Zhou Xingdou's words also prompted a response from the system program. After bypassing the rebirth's response, the system program's voice returned to normal:
[Ding! As the host suspected, based on some information from the Heavenly Dao, the Zhou family's power has already surpassed the scope of the Primordial World. However, in the Heavenly Dao's understanding, it believes that the Zhou family will not attack it, nor will it threaten its world domination. On the contrary, it will help it solve some problems. I cannot understand or explain why this is the case.]
Zhou Xingdou could no longer sit still. He rose from the quiet room, his usual calm and indifference gone. He no longer cared about asking any other questions, nor did he bother to check the new features of the system.
He had only one thought in his mind: to return to the Zhou family, find his grandfather Zhou Wuji, and get all the answers he had to say.
But just as Zhou Xingdou pushed open the dusty door of the meditation room, intending to summon Fahai to immediately go to the Tai Shi Dao Domain and to the Zhou family, a familiar figure, but one that should not be there, appeared in front of Zhou Xingdou's door.
Upon seeing Zhou Xingdou appear, the familiar figure exclaimed excitedly:
"Young Master! You've finally emerged from seclusion!"
Zhou Xingdou also stopped in his tracks, looked at the figure in front of him, and his pupils suddenly widened in surprise:
"Old Chen? Why are you here if you're not at the Zhou family's house?"
