"Little thing, your master cultivates immortality, but you don't." Elder Fu looked at Bai Lan as if teasing her. "Little girl, where did you pick up such a clever puppet with a few intelligences?"
The system, hands on hips, retorted, "What are you talking about! Couldn't it be that I picked up Bai Lan?"
"His intelligence is comparable to that of a human, but he has no spiritual power whatsoever. I'm afraid he couldn't even withstand a fireball from Qi Refining stage cultivator..." Elder Fu shook his head.
"You old man, talking to you is so boring." The system ignored Elder Fu and turned to Bai Lan, beginning a one-on-one communication with her. "Host, I think the old man surnamed Fu is right. In a place like the cultivation world, a system like me that can't even withstand a fireball is too dangerous! Why don't you modify me?"
"Oh? Why do you suddenly want to improve?" Bai Lan raised an eyebrow.
The system angrily pointed to Luan Yin in the distance. "Take Luan Yin for example, he's so respectful to you, but the moment you don't listen, he starts yelling at me. If this continues, things won't be good!"
With the system's capabilities, Bai Lan didn't believe he would be bullied by Luan Yin; he could even handle Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"How do you want to modify it? Tell me in detail." Bai Lan didn't refuse, but continued to ask.
"Hmm... it should at least be made more durable, and it would be even better if it could use spiritual power..."
"It's very simple." After saying that, Bai Lan took out a pill with her hand. " The Five Flower Pill, this was originally Bai Ling's fortuitous opportunity, which can help people without Spirit Root to rebuild their Spirit Root. I have carefully studied the ingredients of this pill... Compared to a pill, the Five Flower Pill is more like a seed."
"The host means that the Five Flower Pill can help me develop Spirit Root!? This pill is so magical? It even works on intelligent machines?" The system was shocked.
"It's worth a try, but..." After saying that, Bai Lan put away the pills and looked at the system: "Before that, I need to know all the information about you."
Those who benefit from her are mostly people whose souls have been taken away, thus making them absolutely loyal to her.
However, she could not take away the system's soul. Even if the system was so weak that a single Fireball Technique could take it away, Bai Lan would not allow even the slightest unstable element to exist around her.
Her initial reason for binding herself to the system was to use its power to go to a world with spiritual energy where she could cultivate.
Where did these systems come from? Who created them? What is their purpose in saving this world? These systems have been mentioned before.
"Haha, host, why did you suddenly ask about this?" The system scratched its head, its eyes darting away.
"I should say I've wanted to ask these questions for a long time, but my intuition tells me that you've never intentionally hidden your origins." Bai Lan slowly walked around the system, her tone puzzled. "From what I know of you, you're a system that's very content with the status quo, you have no ambition, and you don't want to work hard."
The system swallowed hard.
In the very beginning, the system was like a new employee, enthusiastically urging her to complete the tasks. But this enthusiasm faded after a few months, and it began to give up.
Even when the system was undergoing tribulation in the Human Realm, it was initially very diligent in being a strategist for only two or three years before it started to slack off.
This kid is definitely not the type to strive to improve himself.
The system was both flustered and embarrassed. "..."
"If you were pursuing power, even if you couldn't use spiritual power, you would have devoted yourself to studying the talismans and puppets of the cultivation world from the very beginning, instead of thinking about eating, drinking and having fun all day long. The fact that you only brought up the idea of changing yourself now must be because something happened in the middle that changed your mind."
The system sighed deeply, collapsing to the ground like a deflated balloon. "Host, how do you know everything...?"
"I know everything I should know."
There's no need to say that to him!
"..." The system remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "Because the host has changed the way of doing tasks, the superior system recently issued me new instructions, requiring me to fully cooperate with your pace, cooperate with you to eliminate the Child of Destiny of this world, and even... become the Child of Destiny of this world."
"Oh? Is that all? But you seem to always do it this way."
"That's what the new instructions say, but..." The system suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and without saying a word, it silently sent a confidential document to Bai Lan.
The secret document contained only a few words that summarized the system's fundamental purpose in coming to this world.
The system will select a suitable host, use its abilities to help the host cultivate, thereby getting closer to the Child of Destiny of this world, gaining the Child of Destiny's favor, and making the Child of Destiny fall hopelessly in love with the host.
All of the above are consistent with the system's original mission.
But the next few lines are rather intriguing: stealing the destiny of the Child of Destiny and controlling the origin of this world...
Bai Lan suddenly felt a little tired.
The cultivation world is devoid of truth, goodness, and beauty. Even the motives behind the world-saving system are so terrifying. It's truly heartbreaking.
Logically speaking, hosts who follow the system to complete tasks will receive a large number of rewards from the system, thereby rapidly improving their strength and cultivation.
Everything the host possesses is granted by the system; conversely, the system can easily seize all of the host's power, or even manipulate the host in return.
