This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered

Chapter 948 - 713: He Who Adapts Is Wise

A light orb whose true form was indistinguishable began to expand, appearing in Liang Yi's field of vision, occupying nearly half of his Sea of Consciousness.

The light orb was devoid of any imposing force, just like an ordinary lamp, merely emitting light.

Yet Liang Yi knew deep down, this light orb is the System that had existed within him ever since his transmigration!

"You still discovered it, huh." An indistinct voice, with hints of laughter, sounded softly like a gentle breeze.

Dimly discernible, Liang Yi vaguely saw a humanoid outline in the light orb, unclear in detail, seemingly just a "concept" of an outline without a tangible form.

"I know you have many questions to ask, go ahead, I will speak without reserve." The humanoid outline sat cheerfully within the light orb, yet Liang Yi sensed a gaze upon him.

"Does experience represent Origin Power, and the System represents Authority?" Liang Yi did not waste words, merely glanced over it briefly, then proceeded to ask.

He didn't have much time to linger on this matter now.

"Snap, exactly correct." The humanoid outline snapped its fingers in approval.

Seeing the outline's reaction, Liang Yi remained silent for a moment before asking the question crucial to him now:

"So, how can I ascend to the Tenth Realm?"

"Hahaha, don't you already know the answer in your heart? Why still ask me?" The outline laughed heartily, not answering Liang Yi's question, instead asking in curiosity.

Liang Yi's eyes were as deep as a cold pool, voice like biting cold wind: he could guess the method, but needed to confirm the consequences.

"The System is Authority, experience is Origin, but the System is given by you. If I merge it with the experience to ascend to the Tenth Realm, can I completely free myself from your control afterwards?"

"No." The outline's response was simple and strong.

Liang Yi's chest heaved once, then suppressed his inner rage. He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch!

Orange Grandpa once said Heavenly Origin came to help Mystical Mechanism for the World Origin, choosing him as the "Savior" to appear here.

Initially, Liang Yi believed it sincerely, but the closer he got to the Tenth Realm, the more questions surfaced, as the System's current displayed power indicated that even if not a direct opponent of Abyss Will, cooperation with the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao could fully defeat Abyss Will!

In this way, regardless of Liang Yi's existence, it doesn't matter!

Yet Heavenly Origin Heavenly Dao painstakingly sent him over, projected players, a complete exertion tasking.

Therefore, their purpose likely isn't to acquire Origin from Mystic Mechanism or Abyss but rather to target him!

Liang Yi disliked conspiracy theories. If Heavenly Origin Heavenly Dao had other intentions, he could completely disregard it; his mundane, stagnant life turned colorful because of them.

Upon coming to this world, he met his master, his senior brother, and most importantly, his younger sister.

Their help transformed him from a worthless discard with no cultivation ability to a Cultivator standing at the peak of the Mystical Mechanism Continent, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao.

These, deep down, made Liang Yi very grateful, in comparison Liang Yi doesn't mind paying something.

Yet the purpose of the other party now seems far from simple, even involving himself, causing Liang Yi wariness.

"So your purpose is fundamentally me, right?" Liang Yi's resonating words echoed in the Divine Sense space.

"Hoo, you're smarter than I imagined, smarter than most transmigrators I've met." After a long time, the outline representing Heavenly Origin Heavenly Dao looked deeply at Liang Yi, slowly breathed a sigh before openly admitting;

"Correct, not only you, those 'transmigrators' I sent out, all are my targets."

Upon the guess being verified, Liang Yi's fists clenched tightly; this was the answer he least wished to receive.

"So now, what do you plan to do?" The outline shadow supported its head with one hand, looking towards Liang Yi. "That cat is temporarily wielding Authority to enter the Tenth Realm, but won't last long. Su Youyi's talent is indeed astounding; if she can ascend to the Tenth Realm, given two years killing the current Gongsun Bai'an wouldn't be an issue, but now she's not a match for Gongsun Bai'an."

The implication of the outline's words is one: not wanting to fall into his trap means one can't break the game, but to break the game, Liang Yi must step into the Tenth Realm, so naturally falls into his plan.

"I think I haven't wronged you, right? Mystical Mechanism needed help, so I came. Without my intervention, the Mystical Mechanism Continent would have already been swallowed during the Second Epoch, unable to persist to the Third Epoch."

The outline's words once again verified Liang Yi's inner suspicion, confirming Heavenly Origin did indeed take action.

You should know Liang Yi always had one question; the First Epoch being the most powerful epoch, each of the Three Immortals of the Taoist Sect was impressive; if they were determined to no longer involve themselves with Mystical Mechanism, each would have a full chance of ascending to the Tenth Realm.

Even such an epoch ultimately paid the price of epoch extinction to seal Abyss Will and Abyss Continent.

However, the immortality shattered, the Eighth Realm being already the pinnacle of the Second Realm, faced the stronger Abyss Will after unsealing?

The answer revealed today, the efforts of the Second Epoch's Mystical Mechanism Cultivators were indeed crucial, but the most key was Heavenly Origin's covert intervention, thus capable of resealing Abyss unnoticed.

"If I'm not mistaken, the realms post-Tenth Realm are all related to Origin Power, right?" Liang Yi didn't respond to Heavenly Origin's question but instead counter-asked.

"You're clever." Heavenly Origin looked deeply at Liang Yi and implicitly acknowledged Liang Yi's speculation.

"So transmigrators are merely tools to help you collect Origin Power?" Liang Yi directly exposed.

The realms beyond the Tenth Realm involve Origin Power, yet Heavenly Origin forsakes readily available interests to instead painstakingly nurture transmigrators; this undoubtedly indicates transmigrators can aid him in obtaining greater interests.

Heavenly Origin fell silent; it's been years since anyone saw through his schemes.

In former times those transmigrators wouldn't even fathom his true intentions let alone his existence, truly believing transmigration was mere good luck.

Only truly great wise individuals recognize his existence, and those who see through his original intentions, across several epochs merely a handful.

And dealing with these individuals, Heavenly Origin has his own unique approach.

"You won." Heavenly Origin speaking to the calm-faced Liang Yi, after a while slowly said.

"The System inside you is the players' coordinates in this world, the System manifests only when players' projections appear here, so the System is Authority power." Heavenly Origin explained.

"You're a true smart person and genius, future achievements are limitless. Although I am nurturing you all, I do not wish to become enemies with those who may become true powerful individuals in the future; nobody can predict your future achievements, and I am not foolish."

Recognizing the timing is wise, he initially hoped Liang Yi would be wise.

Yet Liang Yi shows no fear, instead even threatening him to be "wise".

In weighing benefits, Heavenly Origin eventually decided to take a step back; befriending a future top powerhouse rather than enmity, this decision requires no contemplation.

Heavenly Origin shrugged: "I will retain the System's Authority. You can ascend assuredly; I won't meddle in it."

With that, Heavenly Origin flicked a finger towards Liang Yi, and a mysterious rule force descended before him.

This is what existed within him, aiding him to overcome countless challenges: the System!
