Do you understand how dangerous this world is now? One careless step, and you could be invaded by these Evil Demons, turning neither human nor ghost.
Seeing Li Tianwei's solemn expression, the system's tone turned flippant, as if saying, See? This world is dangerous. The slightest problem could leave you dead in the streets.
This world was just that dangerous. Host, you'd better stay cautious and stop being so reckless. You only had one life.
Having gone through its previous two hosts, the system had once believed that, with the system's supreme power, carrying a host to greatness would be easy as pie. In the end, it failed twice, and both worlds collapsed.
Now, the system had chosen to develop in obscurity and lie low.
Yet just as the system's words came out, Li Tianwei seemed not to have heard them. His previously solemn face suddenly broke into a radiant smile, as though he had realized something.
"I knew it! I couldn't possibly have transmigrated here for no reason. So I was meant to purge this world's Evil Demons. That is why I came here!"
Li Tianwei wore a smile, becoming extraordinarily excited. He felt not the slightest fear because of the system's words.
The system, having received Li Tianwei's thoughts, was utterly dumbfounded.
It had not expected Li Tianwei to feel no fear. Instead, he had once again decided that he was a savior sent down from heaven.
He was sheer arrogance, recklessness, and self-righteousness. In the system's eyes, if the seven deadly sins stood before it, Li Tianwei would absolutely be the very incarnation of pride.
Shameless beyond measure.
The system nearly lost control of itself again, but Li Tianwei was the host it had chosen itself.
The system regretted it. It was frustrated, but there was nothing it could do.
And when it had chosen him, it had valued his steadiness, rationality, and good social connections.
Who could have imagined that beneath such an outward appearance, this fellow's heart would be so filthy, so arrogant, so chuunibyou?
But since it had already chosen him, it truly did not want Li Tianwei to end up like its previous two hosts.
He had to be cautious—cautious enough to lie low.
If protagonists really existed, how could so many worlds have vanished? They would have long since been completely saved beneath those protagonists' protection.
As a system that had visited quite a few worlds, it understood this very clearly.
Thinking this, the system decided it should flatter him a little. That way, Li Tianwei might listen more obediently.
With a clap of its hands, the system had already formed a plan.
Host, you are right. If the Outer Realm Demons were allowed to ravage the land, this heaven and earth would find it difficult to remain well.
That was why you transmigrated here—you are the savior of heaven and earth.
In order to make Li Tianwei more obedient and develop in obscurity, the system could not care about so much anymore. For once, it did not speak against Li Tianwei and instead flattered him.
As for Li Tianwei, hearing those words stirred no reaction in him at all. Wasn't it only natural? Hadn't he transmigrated here to purge these things and carry the system to greatness?
"System, you still have some use. At the very least, I hadn't even noticed that things like Evil Demons existed."
Li Tianwei rarely praised the system.
Hearing Li Tianwei's praise, the system froze.
Not really!
It immediately replied with some embarrassment, but quickly regained its senses. Absolutely not—Li Tianwei was PUA-ing it. It absolutely could not be like this.
By the time it came back to itself, Li Tianwei was lowering his head in deep thought.
After all, it had spent some time with Li Tianwei. Whether it was that Fission Qi Gathering Method, using the Explosive Secret Method to glimpse higher realms, or facing Corrupting Grudge Qi, he had worn this same contemplative expression.
Without question, his earth-shattering wisdom was about to cause trouble again.
Not good.
The system immediately realized that Li Tianwei was about to stir up trouble.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Li Tianwei had already made his calculations and formed his plan.
According to the intelligence and information from the system, the Evil Demons had already eroded a considerable portion of this world's laws and cultivators.
If that was the case, did that mean the present Lingxu Sacred Land had also been eroded?
Thinking this, Li Tianwei had already made up his mind.
With his own sect being eroded by Evil Demons, how could he, the protagonist, possibly stand by with folded arms?
"It must be purged. Purged."
"Evil Demons."
Li Tianwei shouted inwardly, but a problem arose: how was he supposed to identify the Evil Demons?
According to the system's information, after these Evil Demons invaded cultivators, they retained the person's memories and personality, becoming completely identical to who they had been before.
Unless such an Evil Demon took action, it would not reveal itself.
Host, don't even think about purging the Sacred Land. There are Evil Demons occupying Nascent Soul Stage cultivators here, five whole major realms above you. Can you be a little more cautious and stop courting death?
Having received Li Tianwei's thoughts, the system panicked and immediately tried to dissuade him.
It truly could not imagine anyone being so reckless. He was genuinely chuunibyou enough to think himself invincible beneath heaven!
The system ranted furiously in its mind.
Hearing the system's words, Li Tianwei also turned somewhat serious.
"So what if he is at the Nascent Soul Stage? It's simple. I just need to reach the Nascent Soul Stage myself."
Li Tianwei looked proud and confident, as though reaching the Nascent Soul Stage was something he could grasp in the palm of his hand.
As for the system, hearing Li Tianwei's words, it nearly laughed aloud.
A Pseudo-Spirit Root breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage? Did he truly think that accidentally achieving Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days meant he could really compare with a Heaven Spirit Root?
The later one progressed with a Pseudo-Spirit Root, the more one had to balance the spiritual power of every attribute within the spirit root. To control that balance, one could only continuously absorb spiritual qi until every attribute reached the threshold required for a breakthrough. The spiritual qi needed was hundreds of times that required by superior spirit roots.
Host, but you are only at the Foundation Establishment Realm right now.
The system reminded him.
"Of course I know that. I'm not an idiot. Fighting above my realm may be standard equipment for me, but for now, I can just kill some Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Evil Demons!"
"Once I reach the Nascent Soul Stage, won't it be easy as turning over my hand?"
Li Tianwei said to the system with an expression as though he were looking at an idiot.
The system met Li Tianwei's gaze and, for a moment, did not know how to respond. It even truly began to feel as though it were the idiot.
Li Tianwei was indeed arrogance taken to the extreme, but his mind was still rather clear.
Still, this would not do. He had to remain clear-headed, cautious, and prudent at all times—that was the royal road.
The system felt that this might be a good opportunity.
Although a Nascent Soul Stage elder of the Lingxu Sacred Land had been eroded, there were still Tribulation Transcending Stage cultivators within the Lingxu Sacred Land. That Evil Demon had no ability to stir up trouble.
Even if it dared to act, how could a Tribulation Transcending Stage cultivator possibly fail to notice?
So the Lingxu Sacred Land was still safe.
Then, if Li Tianwei suffered a setback within the Lingxu Sacred Land, would that not be the perfect chance for him to recognize his own problems?
I really am smart. As expected of a system.
The system could not help thinking this, but as that thought emerged, it suddenly woke with a start.
Pah, pah, pah! How had it started learning from Li Tianwei? It was a system. It had to be cautious and could not be reckless, though it really was very smart.
The system spat repeatedly.
With this plan in mind, the system began flattering Li Tianwei again and again. In its mind, it could already see Li Tianwei becoming increasingly cautious, ascending step by step, purging the Outer Realm Demons, and then it receiving the blessings bestowed by the world and successfully becoming official.
