Emperor System? Get Lost!

The term "Great Thunderclap Monastery" sounds familiar to many netizens.

Some foreign netizens even excitedly started spamming the words "Journey to the West" in the live stream chat.

"Lieutenant Colonel Ye, hurry up and search to see if the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is inside!"

"Lieutenant Colonel? Isn't it Major?"

"When the anchors first arrived on Mars, the rank insignia on their shoulders changed. Did no one notice?"

"Holy crap... it really is!"

"I want to see what the Altar Cleanser looks like. Is he a pig-headed monster or a handsome young man named Tianpeng?"

"The Altar Cleanser? Is he a deity of China?"

"I already said Marshal Tian Peng, so of course it's Second Senior Brother! Are you illiterate?"

"After all, they are foreigners, so please be a little understanding."

During their trip to the Great Thunderclap Monastery, the group did not see the long-awaited Zhu Bajie and Son Goku, but instead encountered "Crocodile Ancestor," a figure not recorded in any legendary tales.

The opponent appeared with an aura of terror, and some timid viewers in the live stream were so frightened that they disconnected.

This time, after breaking the seal and returning to the human world, Crocodile Ancestor chose the wrong target.

Tenten, Zoro, and Rui Mengmeng managed to seize the opportunity to make their move.

After countless interdimensional conquests, the three Reincarnator were no longer the limited-sighted natives of the previous world.

In the blink of an eye, the Crocodile Ancestor, who had been cursed for eight lifetimes, was beaten into a pile of mangled flesh.

Even its soul was destroyed by Deidara's "Spirit Particle Annihilation Bomb," preventing it from escaping.

Ye Fan and his group's experiences on Mars were considered incredibly exciting and full of climaxes by netizens around the world.

However, in Wang Yan's eyes, these experiences, which differed from the original trajectory of his destiny, seemed to lack a certain flavor.

Overall, it's just a change in the combat process.

What was originally a nerve-wracking and nerve-wracking game has turned into a one-sided crushing defeat.

With the help of the seven Reincarnator, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Liu Yiyi, Zhou Yi ransacked the Great Thunderclap Monastery, leaving not a single tile behind, taking everything with them.

Afterwards, the group entered the Bronze Ancient Coffin again without any incident.

Inside the pitch-black coffin, everyone waited in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Fan felt a ray of light suddenly appear before his eyes.

What lay before me was no longer the dimness of the Ancient Yinghuo Star and the desolate, blood-red landscape.

A fresh breeze wafts in, carrying the scent of earth and the fragrance of flowers and grass. The atmosphere of nature fills the surroundings, and outside lies a bright world brimming with vitality.

The group quickly stepped out of the giant bronze coffin.

What I saw before me was magnificent and beautiful.

At this moment, they are standing on the top of a mountain that is neither too high nor too low, where they can look out at the scenery ahead.

In the distance are rolling, beautiful mountain peaks, covered with lush trees.

Near the mountaintop are strangely shaped rocks and ancient, vigorous trees, as thick as buckets and coiled like dragons, along with lush green grass and fragrant wildflowers, full of vitality and life.

Compared to the darkness and desolation of Mars, this place is undoubtedly a peaceful and serene Pure Land.

Boom!

As soon as everyone left, the Bronze Ancient Coffin and the corpses of the Nine Black Dragons slid into the mirror-like abyss.

Everything seemed to have been pre-programmed.

Ye Fan wanted to ask the photographer Heavenly Emperor Ye if he had any instructions, but the other party seemed not to hear him and did not respond at all.

"This level of professionalism is quite high."

The newly promoted lieutenant colonel couldn't help but silently complain to himself.

To be honest, he only discovered his promotion through the live stream.

Although he was in an extremely unfamiliar environment, and everything around him made him wonder if he had returned to the Cretaceous Period, Ye Fan's innate composure allowed him to calm down.

There are at least seven mysterious "Reincarnator" in his team, so safety doesn't seem to be a concern.

With this in mind, Ye Fan began to explore the scene.

He discovered a pile of boulders on the mountaintop, along with several ancient, vigorous trees and a few old vines as thick as buckets. Among the intertwined vines, a half-broken stone tablet lay there, with obvious signs of artificial polishing.

"As you can see, this stone tablet is clearly not a natural formation."

"We suspect that there are traces of civilization on this planet."

"And..."

Ye Fan stroked the inscription on the stone tablet, his brow furrowing slightly. "The writing system they used is directly inherited from the Chinese writing system."

"If I'm not mistaken, these three words mean..."

"Ancient Forbidden Zone".

Ancient Forbidden Zone?

What's the meaning?

Netizens around the world have been using their imaginations to try and figure out the true meaning behind it.

Some people began to marvel at how good the signal was in the live stream; they could even broadcast live from another world.

Some argue that Ye Fan and his companions' journey cannot be described as "time travel," as they are still within this universe.

Ye Fan merely watched the online arguments and debates without getting involved.

He simply and quietly fulfilled his "duty"—doing what a travel anchor should do.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but there are flowers, grass, vines, and trees here. It looks vibrant on the surface, but if you look closely, you'll find many strange things..."

Ye Fan's gentle voice rang out. "There are no animals around. In this huge mountain, you can't hear a single bird's call or a beast's roar, and you can't see any trace of ants or insects."

The silence was so profound it was almost deathly still, making one wonder if they had stumbled into a horror movie set.

The audience felt as if they were there, and got goosebumps all over.

Attentive netizens also noticed these.

Indeed, just as Ye Fan said—there were no cicadas chirping on the ancient trees, no grasshoppers on the grass, and no birds flying in the sky; there was only Silencio.

Just as Ye Fan was about to speak, a golden light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The intense light was so bright that Ye Fan could barely open his eyes.

A moment later, he vaguely felt the light fade away, but then a mechanical notification sound suddenly rang in his ears.

"The Emperor Cultivation System has found a suitable host."

"Should we initiate soul binding immediately?"

"If it is not bound within ten seconds, the system will automatically destroy itself and at the same time destroy the souls of all those who know about it."

Ye Fan squinted and saw that the other party had given two options.

"Yes".

Does it make any difference whether I choose it or not?

Lieutenant Colonel Ye snorted coldly.

Just as he was about to click "confirm" to see what tricks the other party had up their sleeve, photographer Heavenly Emperor Ye suddenly appeared beside him.

"The Great Emperor System?"

The photographer scoffed, "Interesting. I've never encountered anything like this before."

"Is this considered an opportunity after the Protagonist Halo has been upgraded?"

Heavenly Emperor Ye chuckled, placed his left hand on Ye Fan's brow, and gently pulled out a golden ball of light.

This golden sphere is clearly the core of the so-called Emperor Cultivation System.

It was held in the hands of photographer Heavenly Emperor Ye, like Nezumi encountering a cat, struggling desperately and trying to escape, but to no avail.

"Someone installed a backdoor in this thing."

Photographer Heavenly Emperor Ye nearly shaped the system orb in his hand into an oval, explaining with a cold laugh, "It will provide a lot of help with your cultivation, allowing your realm to rise rapidly, but..."

"Once your cultivation reaches the Lifetime of Great Emperor, and you become an unparalleled being, your essence, energy, spirit, and everything else will be completely plundered by it! You will become an empty shell and die a miserable death."

At this point, a strange look suddenly appeared on Heavenly Emperor Ye's face.

"No wonder Senior Yan gave me this."

As he spoke, photographer Heavenly Emperor Ye pulled something out of thin air...
