An Interesting World

Liu Bing hadn't expected Empress Nuwa to suddenly make him the same size as them, so he was still dumbfounded, standing on the card table.

"Alright, get down. You're not allowed on the card table here. You were really tiny just now, like a bacterium, even smaller than a bacterium. It was quite unpleasant to look at." Nuwa waved her hand dismissively, as if swatting a fly, telling Liu Bing to get off the table himself.

Liu Bing obediently got off the table immediately.

Once he was standing steadily, he finally had the chance to look around. He had been too small earlier to even see the whole table. Now that he could finally see Wa Huang Tian clearly, he felt a bit bewildered and disappointed.

It wasn't as grand and magnificent as he had imagined. Instead, it seemed smaller. Hmm, how to put it? Liu Bing felt that "miniature" was a suitable word to describe it.

He scanned his surroundings. As far as his eyes could see, there was only a small mahjong table and a small patch of flat ground. And on that patch of flat ground were piled all sorts of messy things.

Weren't these the supplies he had bought and stored in his System space before? Besides these, there was only boundless void. It was like a small isolated island in the void.

This was Wa Huang Tian? This place was too small, it didn't feel like a place humans could stay!

However, just as he was complaining inwardly, Nuwa explained, "This is just a small space I specially created for playing cards. The use of all magic is prohibited here to prevent anyone from cheating."

As Nuwa spoke, Houtu, Xuan Nu, and Sinu all looked at Nuwa with strange expressions.

Nuwa seemed to sense their gazes and immediately turned to glare at them, "What are those looks for?"

"Heh heh..." The three women responded with a tacit "heh heh" that conveyed everything.

"What do you mean by 'heh heh'? Are you saying I cheat? If I cheated, could I have lost fifty rounds in a row? Be careful, I'll sue you for slander!" Nuwa jumped up.

Houtu smiled faintly, "We didn't say anything. Besides, if you hadn't made such a big commotion when you won, this little guy wouldn't have appeared here."

Liu Bing was originally just watching the show when he unexpectedly heard the reason for his arrival. He subconsciously looked at Nuwa.

Nuwa seemed to sense Liu Bing's doubtful and bewildered gaze. She showed no embarrassment, but instead, the corners of her mouth curved up into a meaningful smile as she said, "That's right, your arrival here is indeed related to me. However, you're lucky to have come here, preventing you from being scammed to death. In fact, you should thank me."

Nuwa chuckled, and then a gun suddenly appeared in her hand, pointing at Liu Bing: "Say thank you."

Liu Bing's mouth twitched. This Empress Nuwa was not only malicious but also very playful. If she had also grown buck teeth, it would have been even more fitting. However, he still went along with Nuwa's joke and said, "Thank you."

"Very good, very polite. Also, don't imagine me with buck teeth, or I'll blast your teeth out." Nuwa nodded in satisfaction, then warned him.

Liu Bing quickly nodded, then continued to ask, "Empress Nuwa, so can you tell me why I was scammed to death? Is that System not a good thing?"

Compared to the System, Liu Bing trusted Nuwa more. After all, she was the Human Ancestor Saint Mother, not something the System could compare to. Moreover, Nuwa was stronger than the System; the System had already been dismantled.

Nuwa replied, "The System is certainly not a good thing. Systems don't do charity. You've probably heard the saying, 'Everything in the world is clearly priced.' When the System bestows favors upon you, it will also make you pay a corresponding price."

Liu Bing's heart tightened upon hearing this, a sense of foreboding washing over him. But he still held onto a sliver of hope: "Fortunately, I just bound with the System and haven't received any benefits yet."

Nuwa chuckled and continued, "Heh heh, naive. Do you think it only counts after you've truly enjoyed the System's benefits? In fact, from the moment you decided to bind with the System and responded to it, it has already begun to extract its price. And the moment you transmigrated, everything it paid has already received its corresponding reward."

Liu Bing's expression turned a bit grim. He had already paid the price? Then what was the price?

"Empress Nuwa, can you tell me what price I paid?" Liu Bing was terrified the price might be his soul, or his luck. Although he didn't think he had much luck, being an ordinary person, how could he have any? As for his soul, Liu Bing had no recourse, as he was just an ordinary person.

But even if he was an ordinary person with no luck, he was afraid his remaining luck would be paid as the price. Nowadays, how many couples broke up because of a single sentence like "I'm bad luck for you"? In the end, wasn't it because they feared their luck would be affected?

"Heh heh, the soul and luck of an ordinary person like you aren't worth much." Nuwa chuckled upon seeing Liu Bing's thoughts, then continued, "Actually, Systems usually use a person in a certain world as a base point, then break through the world's barriers to obtain the World Origin they desire."

"And you, you are a native of your world, an inseparable part of that world. The System taking you out of the world is equivalent to creating a small opening in an otherwise flawless world. Now, your world has likely become the System's hunting ground." Nuwa calmly delivered the news that made Liu Bing's entire body turn cold.

Binding with the System had actually brought disaster to his world. This almost made Liu Bing collapse. He immediately knelt before Nuwa and pleaded, "Empress Nuwa, can you help save my world?"

"No, we do not interfere in the affairs of other worlds." Nuwa refused directly, then added, "Also, don't go around kneeling and begging people. Humans should strive for self-improvement. If you want to save your world, then naturally, you, the one who caused all this, should save it yourself. Taking responsibility for your own mistakes is what you should do."

"Yes, I will save the world. Please send me back, Empress Nuwa." Liu Bing was completely dazed now, completely forgetting that he was just an ordinary person and would be cannon fodder if he went back.

"That's more like it. Self-reliance and self-improvement are the beliefs that humans should have. Then I will send you back now." Nuwa nodded in satisfaction, then, based on Liu Bing's karmic connection, directly located Liu Bing's world.

Upon seeing Liu Bing's world, Nuwa blinked. Liu Bing's world was quite interesting. It was a world even more barren than the End of Dharma World, an artificially created Spiritually Barren Land.

Such worlds were the least valuable. Nuwa even discerned that the world was specially crafted by someone to be an absolute prison for suppressing certain hostile targets.

Only special existences like Systems could travel through such a place. And the person who created this prison had also guarded against the System, directly carving out a large area of Void Land in the Sea of Realms and placing the small world at its center. The void isolated all external observation.

It was a pity that the creator was already dead. This Void Land slowly disappeared, and the small world was then exposed to the System's sight. So, it was still a matter of insufficient cultivation; otherwise, where would there be any hostile targets, where would there be death?

Nuwa glanced at Liu Bing. This time, she wasn't just glancing casually but looked directly at Liu Bing's past life and all his reincarnations. She even looked at all the reincarnations of the entire world and soon found something interesting.
