"As expected of the famous River Crab Daoist, even though it is just an avatar manifested by Brother Yu through the Yu tool of 'System', it still has great power. Even the real body cannot see through the illusion."

Taiyi said with a sigh.

When Gu Jun, the old man, or rather River Crab Daoist, heard Taiyi's words, he just chuckled and said, "Taiyi, you don't need to test me."

"Although my true form does not reside in this world, I still possess the powers and means of that true form."

"You are currently in the Chaos Realm, so naturally you cannot discern the true nature of my avatar."

"But even my avatar cannot see through your level of understanding."

At this point, the River Crab Daoist smiled faintly.

Taiyi's little scheme was exposed, but he wasn't embarrassed at all.

Or rather, this was something he did intentionally.

They're all ancient foxes, why bother with ghost stories?

Just as the River Crab Daoist said, if Taiyi intended to hide it, how could the other party see through Taiyi's hidden thoughts?

Now that everyone has made their point clear, Taiyi is even more straightforward.

"May I ask, Brother Yu, what is the Great Yu Domain? Where does it come from? And why was I chosen as its successor?"

Taiyi spoke slowly.

"Taiyi, you have a lot of questions."

The River Crab Daoist sighed, seemingly somewhat helpless.

Immediately, he stated directly. "My name is River Crab Daoist, and my true form is a River Crab Divine Beast formed from the chaos of heaven and earth in the Hongmeng Dao Realm."

"This is easy to understand. Just like Taiyi, you are the origin of the Primordial Sun Star in the chaos."

"The River Crab Daoist is my pseudonym, but my more widely known name in the boundless Chaos Realm is ' Lord of Systems '."

Speaking of this, the River Crab Daoist looked at Taiyi with smiles.

Faced with Taiyi's shocked expression, his pupils constricting slightly, Taiyi hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding.

"That's right, just as you guessed. Since I am the system master, all the systems that are scattered throughout the infinite sub-worlds of the entire multiverse belong to my incarnations."

"Your Homebody Choice System is one of them."

"Of course, as a heavyweight being in the Primordial World, you are special. Therefore, even in the entire infinite Chaos Realm, my avatar is among the top in terms of power and importance."

"My true form is paying close attention to you."

"Especially after you successfully intercepted the sniper attack from the Primal Chaos Sovereign."

Looking at the smiling River Crab Daoist, Taiyi's expression shifted between light and dark, and for the first time, he was completely unsettled.

Simply put, the truth was too shocking and too subversive for him.

He never imagined that the system's background was so powerful and unbelievable.

"System Overlord, River Crab Divine Beast".

As Taiyi murmured these two titles, he Taiyi seemed to see an incomparably enormous and terrifying being occupying an unfathomable and mysterious realm.

The creature in question was clearly shaped like a River Crab Divine Beast.

As if sensing Taiyi's gaze from across realms, this enormous divine beast, whose full form could not be seen, suddenly fixed its deep eyes on Taiyi's vision, as if to greet him, and gently winked at Taiyi.

Taiyi chill run down his spine.

Good heavens, this great being, vanished in an instant.

Taiyi could no longer see any trace of the other party.

It's like a mosaic; the other party is openly occupying that spot, but Taiyi can't see it, touch it, know it, or hear it.

Dense, endless threads connect the heavens, and each vein follows a systemic incarnation, spreading throughout the universe.

Beneath the countless systems lies an endless number of hosts.

Following these threads, Taiyi saw countless hosts struggling to cross over into different worlds.

They included humans and beasts, plants and animals, and even strange beings that Taiyi couldn't describe.

Without exception, they all relied on the power of the system, or rather, the power of the River Crab Divine Beast, to stir up trouble in their world, seize a sliver of heavenly secrets, and prove their transcendence.

Among them, Taiyi vaguely saw himself.

It is located very far forward and is extremely large in size.

Even among the infinite and unfathomable threads of the system, the light cluster representing oneself is outstanding.

There are only a few dozen beings who can rival him.

Moreover, the territory where the River Crab Daoist River Crab Divine Beast Beast's true form resided gave Taiyi a sense of familiarity.

It seemed to possess the same aura as when the Primordial Primal Chaos Sovereign crossed realms to ambush him.

"That's right. My true body is located in an unknown place in the Primordial Hongmeng Dao Realm. Even the Primal Chaos Sovereign can't find my true body."

As if sensing Taiyi's thoughts, the River Crab Daoist smiled and generously said, "..."

Taiyi moment.

Even for beings like them, it would be very dangerous to easily expose their true forms.

However, this also shows that this Lord of Systems, the River Crab Divine Beast, truly doesn't consider himself an outsider.

He openly and honestly exposed his true form to Taiyi.

Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that the River Crab Daoist took the initiative, Taiyi thought that he would not have been able to see the other party's true form at all.

"As for why you were chosen as the successor, that's a long story, and it involves the very foundation of my existence."

The River Crab Daoist said leisurely.

Taiyi quickly replied, "If it involves the very foundation of Brother Yu's existence, there's no need to reveal it."

"Since we've chosen to be honest, it's only right that we know each other well. After all, I've watched you grow up. I can't let you suffer any losses."

To everyone's surprise, the River Crab Daoist burst into laughter and mocked Taiyi.

Taiyi seemed rather embarrassed.

Clearly, the other party believed that they were not someone who would suffer a loss.

"Although the Hongmeng Realm is a higher existence than the Chaos Realms, in essence, it is nothing special."

"Like the Primal Chaos Sovereign, I am Hongmeng Born Spirit nurtured by Heaven and Earth."

"The difference is that the Primal Chaos Sovereign proved it first, while I and the other Hongmeng Born Spirit were all relegated to the second place."

"Of course, 'certificate' is the term used in your world."

"In our eyes, the Primal Chaos Sovereign is only half a step into the truth."

The River Crab Daoist spoke eloquently.

"Half-step proof?"

Taiyi was somewhat puzzled.

"Just like the Sage in your Primordial World, they cannot truly transcend until they have fulfilled their vision of becoming saints."

"The path to Primal Chaos Sovereign is one of invincibility and supreme supremacy."

"Therefore, He does not allow any existence in the Hongmeng Realm that could threaten Him."

"I am like this, and so are you."

The River Crab Daoist looked at Taiyi meaningfully, and slowly...

Taiyi is numb.

Is it really that domineering?

Is there no room for other people in this big world?

However, thinking of the even more mad Ancestor Minghe in the Primordial Wilderness, Taiyi felt relieved.

In order to prove something, it's not surprising that all sorts of bizarre methods will appear.

It's all for the sake of transcendence.

However, everyone's understanding and way of transcending are different.

"Ever since the Primal Chaos Sovereign enlightenment, in order to carry out His path, He has begun a frenzied Slaughter of us, the inhabitants of the Hongmeng Realm."

"To date, the number of Hongmeng Born Spirit still alive is less than ten."

"I am one of them."

"After completely clearing out the Hongmeng Realm, He began to target the witnesses of the lower realms."

"That's why he attacked you from another realm when you were about to realize your mistake."
