After Long Shiyan crossed over to this bewildering world, she was always used as a tool to constantly finish task after task to protect the world from Long Aotian. As a tool, she had no personal objectives, only more tasks, which soon became her new goal.
But, would she still have a purpose after this mission was completed? No! She was still being used so much to the point she didn’t know what her next assignments would be.
Therefore, she was really anxious.
The system read her mood and said, “Well, it’s useless to take advantage of you now. Listen to me as I slowly explain why! The reason why you crossed over into this world was actually very simple. I was the one who let you come. There had been dozens of people who have already crossed over during this period of time, but they failed before the main plot had even begun. You are the only one who was able to complete the missions up till this point.”
Long Shiyan frowned.
“Let me start from the history of this world! Although this was also recorded in the original story, what was written in the original book was not complete.” System Qian Qian was immersed in her memories. “In the boundless primal chaos, there was no life until one day, a god came. Here, he used his powers to create the several worlds, including the god realm, the angel god realm, the underworld, the dragon god realm, and the human world.
Among them, the god realm was the highest-leveled plane, the underworld contained the spirits of the deceased, the angel realm was a pure and holy land, and the dragon god realm was home to many dragons. Meanwhile, the human world was a plane that connected these realms. Similar to the Fengling Continent, there are countless planes created by the gods. As long as a human being cultivates to the God-level, they have the opportunity to enter the high-level planes to cultivate.”
“I know about all of this.” Long Shiyan interrupted her words. “I just want to know the key points.”
“Hey, don’t rush me!” System Qian Qian glanced at her. “Out of countless realms, this world is in the center. The Father God is the greatest existence there is who created people like me. My true name is ‘Boundary.’ I was originally the other will of the world and the current will of the world’s twin. We used to be a pair, but the will of the world was brainwashed by Long Aotian’s master. Now, it’s called ‘World.’
We used to think that this place was the only world, but it wasn’t. We were too nearsighted. In addition to the high-level god realms outside our own, there is a higher plane called the Highest Realm where the True Gods lived in. Father God simply found True Gods to be difficult to deal with.
Therefore, Father God ran outside of that plane to create a new world just to absorb the power of this new world. Among them, there are also many gods like the Father God who ran around the primal chaos to create their own worlds in order to enhance their own realms. Father God’s strength has been growing rapidly.
One day, he suddenly predicted that a man called Long Aotian would appear in his world. Long Aotian had the primal chaos inheritance, which allowed him to absorb the power of women and the world. Unfortunately, Father God had to sleep during this period of time. While his consciousness is active, he could not intervene with the world.
He predicted that Long Aotian will absorb his power in the future and replace his position. Moreover, after some investigation, he also discovered that Long Aotian was the dark figure’s puppet.”
“Could it be that the dark figure behind everything was the old man who saved Long Aotian at the end of the original book?” Long Shiyan frowned.
“Yes.” System Qian Qian nodded. “That old man is on equal footing with the Father God. They are both high gods. That crafty old man came up with a scheme to make Long Aotian go around to collect women until he found the one who could make the Red Yin Demon Star resurface.”
The hand that was stroking Zi Linglong’s hair paused.
The system then said, “Because Long Aotian’s strength is based on the absorption of cultivation through intercourse, his harem of beauties would be around three thousand in number. Furthermore, the Red Yin Demon Star is actually a very beautiful woman with a lot of energy he could absorb from. Therefore, Long Aotian was unconsciously attracted to the Red Yin Demon Star and pursued her.
However, the Red Yin Demon Star has a lonely personality. No one has ever made her yield to them. Even if Long Aotian had the primal chaos inheritance, he didn’t have enough strength to see her. Moreover, the Red Yin Demon Star possesses a strong desire to be included in the harem. Sooner or later, she would cause turmoil within the harem.
So, no matter what happens, the Red Yin Demon Star will eventually destroy the world. And the black figure behind everything will sit and watch over Long Aotian, the Red Yin Demon Star, and the Creation God of the world fighting each other. Meanwhile, the black figure would gain profits while staying out of the conflict.
I don’t know how many times that this old man has implemented this plan, but the success rate is nearly one hundred percent. He would perfectly use the newly born Red Yin Demon Star and his own puppet to implement the plan to seize the other god’s power. As long as this is successful, he will remove Long Aotian’s memory away again, reincarnate him, and repeat the process.”
After listening to this, Long Shiyan suddenly understood. No wonder why Long Aotian told her, “Maybe you don’t believe me, but I am indeed helping you, wait, that’s not all! I’m helping myself because I want to live the life I want to live.” For someone like Long Aotian, who advocated freedom, being brainwashed and imprisoned was unacceptable!
Did he want her to help him to break this curse? However, how would that be possible?
“You should roughly understand his worldviews by now!” System Qian Qian looked at her and continued, “Basically, the Father God had predicted the details of the future. Then, he personally wrote a book and then divided the will of the world into me and ‘World.’ He made me become a system to find someone with the ability to stop Long Aotian. Unfortunately, every time I found a suitable person, that person was killed before the plot even began. Moreover, the previous candidates were killed by the man we know as the new Long Aotian.”
“When you left for a period of time, he began to make his move. On that day, he commanded his troops to kill you. It was unfortunate that you were not there at that time. Instead of you, the Long family was completely destroyed. ”
When Long Shiyan heard that, she was shocked. She said, “Do you mean that the new Long Aotian was the one who killed my beloved ones?!”
“Yes.”
Long Shiyan gritted her teeth. “Where is he now?”
The system replied, “He was defeated by Long Aotian. I don’t know if he is dead or alive. But you can also ask Long Aotian, who is now in the chaotic outer space trying to avoid being discovered by his master and the God of Creation. If you can get rid of his long-lasting imprisonment, he might tell you.”
“You say that like it’s easy!” Long Shiyan glanced at her. “You want us to defeat a True God. Are you kidding me?” Although she didn’t know how high of a level those gods were. One of them created this very world. This was enough to cause her, a mortal, to tremble in fear. Unless…
She lowered her head and gazed upon Zi Linglong.
The system quickly caught her line of sight and said, “You guessed it right. There is only one way to do it, which is to let Zi Linglong awaken. After awakening, she could defeat the current Father God and the other True God.”
“Linglong is that strong?”
“Of course.” System Qian Qian nodded solemnly. “I heard from the Father God that the Red Yin Demon Star was originally one of the most powerful ancient seven gods within the highest plane. Because of the god’s unsociable character, she had no friends. After the god was suppressed by the other six gods, she turned into a red giant star as her soul never entered the cycle of reincarnation. The red giant star was sealed by the ancient six gods, but after the downfall of those gods, the seal gradually loosened. Furthermore, the seal unraveled just a tiny bit and a part of it escaped. The gods couldn’t fix the seal, so they could only add a layer to the original seal.”
Long Shiyan said, “So you mean that once the seal is lifted, the Creation God and the rest will be annihilated?”
“It’s true. But the seal is not something we can break. We only have to allow Zi Linglong to absorb the red godly stone so she could attain the power of the red giant star and defeat the Father God and the other True God.”
System Qian Qian paused before saying, “After absorbing the power of the Red Yin Demon Star, Zi Linglong’s strength will nearly be equivalent to the Father God’s. Although her strength might be a little worse, there should be no problem for the current Father God and the other True God. After they fought, the two swallowed each other and became one person, causing their strength to drop by a lot.”
Long Shiyan lifted her head and glanced at her. “Do you mean that the enemy decreased from two to one?” Letting them mutually hurt each other wasn’t bad at all.
“It’s not wrong.” System Qian Qian unhurriedly answered, “The Father God and the other True God discovered that you had successfully solved the issue with Long Aotian, so they wanted me to eliminate you. This was also because you have been influencing the lonely Zi Linglong, causing unexpected changes in her.”
“And then yesterday, the Red Yin Demon Star was acting abnormally once again. When the Father God was trying to seal the red giant star, he was suddenly attacked by the True God, resulting in his body being destroyed. Then, his soul invaded the body of the True God, resulting in the current predicament. It could be said that I don’t know whether he’s currently the other True God or the Father God. But regardless of which one he is now, I don’t want him to hurt you.”
“Thank you!” After listening to the system, Long Shiyan once again thanked her. The system did not listen to her father’s words to eliminate her, but rather, she returned to their world. This was great as the system rescued her from being killed.
“You better thank me.” The system curled her lips.
Long Shiyan looked at her appearance and inwardly laughed. “What should we do now?”
“Of course, you need to find the red godly stone.” What! The system was not the one who spoke, but instead, the statue seated on the main position did. This voice alarmed the duo.
After calming down, they didn’t need to guess to know who it was.
Long Shiyan asked, “Had you already expected for this day to arrive since long ago? Furthermore, you want to reject the Father God’s rule?”
The enormous statue spoke, “He is not our Father God anymore. The ancient gods of the previous generation are all dead. The rest of us gods are just his tools to fuel his power. Because of him, there is no way for us to become a higher entity. This is also the case with your system. She is alone and helpless, yet she is willing to give up her life to assist you.”
Long Shiyan turned towards the system, seeing her crossing her arms across her chest, turning her head away, and showing awkward appearance. Long Shiyan didn’t think too much about her and went straight to asking more questions. “You said that we need to find the red godly stone, but where is it?”
“In the Tower of Babel.” The voice did not come from a human and was similar to the system’s; it came from the Radiant God.
“But if you wish to enter the Tower of Babel, you need the key to the tower.” The Radiant God suddenly paused. The statue’s head turned to exchange looks with the system. “Light Boundary, do you have it?” Both the system and the Radiant God sounded the same.
