[Please confirm if you wish to forfeit the ability to control all waters under heaven and extinguish the Sun Fire]

The System did not reply immediately, instead presenting a choice.

However, Kunpeng, who had been ready to confirm, suddenly realized something.

What was this reward?

Control over all waters under heaven?

Wasn't that equivalent to comprehending the Great Dao of Water?

He knew that walking this path to its end could lead to becoming a Saint.

Of course, Primordial Qi was indispensable; without it, all this would be in vain.

But at least this offered a glimmer of hope. Originally, even after obtaining Primordial Qi, he hadn't been very confident.

Now, wasn't this opportunity presenting itself?

What's more, after controlling all waters, he would surely be able to find some water that could extinguish the True Sun Fire.

Under these circumstances, Kunpeng no longer hesitated.

Kunpeng: "No need to change the reward. I'll accept this one."

Tongtian: "You sly dog. What happened to your ambition to extinguish the Sun Fire just moments ago?"

Kunpeng: "..."

He had initially thought it would be some ordinary reward, like an increase in cultivation or various other things.

But who could have imagined the System would reward something so incredible?

It would be foolish not to take it.

At the same time, a more cunning smile naturally appeared on Qin Feng's face.

Because Kunpeng had gained the ability to control all waters under heaven, it meant Qin Feng had also gained this ability.

He just needed some time to integrate it.

He had plenty of treasures in his hands now, but many of them were unusable.

For instance, the Golden Core he had previously obtained, which could substitute for a Kalpa's worth of cultivation time.

Or the one percent Power of Creation. Plus, with the Chat Group's upgrade this time, he had also acquired the ability to control all waters under heaven.

What Qin Feng was lacking now was simply time.

Because he had to answer three questions every day, the time he could dedicate was extremely limited.

And if his cultivation was interrupted, the consequences could be severe.

Therefore, Qin Feng had not attempted to integrate anything yet. Moreover, having just reached his current cultivation level without much combat experience, his foundation might be unstable.

This was why he hadn't broken through. But if an opportunity for combat arose, that would be ideal.

This meant that Qin Feng might also participate in some peripheral battles during the upcoming great war between the Witch and Demon Races.

[For the second question, please listen: Does the Asura race exist? If it exists, where did it come from?]

As the System posed this question, the group fell into silence once more.

Everyone's mind raced, thinking rapidly.

But they searched through all their memories and could not find the words "Asura" appearing in their minds.

More importantly, they noticed the latter half of the question.

If it exists, where did it come from?

This implied that the race might or might not exist, presenting them with a difficult problem.

Hearing this question, Qin Feng also shook his head helplessly.

In his memory, the Asura race should exist.

But he didn't know if it existed in the current timeline.

Therefore, the System's question was truly ruthless, clearly designed to make them answer incorrectly.

However, he liked it.

Anything the System saw from others would belong to Qin Feng, the group leader.

Anyway, these powerful figures didn't care about these minor things, so if Qin Feng could get them for free, that would be even better.

The three-minute rapid-fire round quickly ended, but still, no one had answered.

[If no one answers by the time limit, everyone will receive a punishment]

[Everyone's lifespan will be reduced by a thousand years, and their origin will be weakened by one ten-thousandth]

The original ten people had prepared themselves for the System to randomly select one of them to answer.

But they never expected that this time, the System would not give them any chance and instead directly imposed a collective punishment on all ten of them.

More importantly, a thousand years of reduced lifespan was nothing to them, but a ten-thousandth reduction in their origin.

This was practically a death sentence.

They were already at the Quasi-Saint cultivation level. To have their origin reduced by one ten-thousandth – what a massive number that was.

But these ten people weren't the only ones who became unhappy. Even Qin Feng felt the same.

Because the System had just given him a prompt as well.

[The penalty for this question is not directly given to the host, but rather to gather enough power to upgrade this group.]

Well, so it turned out the System was deliberately making things difficult for these people just to gain enough power to upgrade this chat group.

As expected of the System after its corruption. When it came to screwing people over, no one could outdo the System.

These ten great figures never understood why the System didn't give them a chance to answer this time.

[Next question, the third question: If two people simultaneously comprehend one of the Great Daos, what will happen?]

[Congratulations to Houtu for successfully answering.]

The prompt for the System's question had just appeared.

Houtu, who hadn't spoken much in the group for a long time.

No one expected Houtu to be the one to answer so quickly this time.

Even Kunpeng and Zhen Yuanzi, who were weaker, were still pondering the question in their minds.

Houtu: "If someone simultaneously cultivates two Great Daos, a struggle will inevitably ensue. The stronger individual will inherit the Great Dao, while the other will be lost in the sea of people."

Upon hearing this answer, everyone nodded slightly.

Although they were reluctant to admit it, Houtu's statement seemed to align with their memories.

[Incorrect Answer]

Houtu: "How is that possible? This is clearly the correct answer. If the group owner says this answer is wrong, then you explain what the correct answer is?"

Zhen Yuanzi: "Right, Group Owner. Although our strength is lower, we have heard this before."

The ten great figures in the group all chimed in. Even Qin Feng, the group owner, was full of helplessness. To be honest, his own cultivation hadn't reached that level yet, so how could he possibly know the answer?

Now, he could only feign silence and wait for the System to explain.

Fortunately, the System didn't make him wait too long.

[Explanation of the Correct Answer: Everything stated previously is not wrong, but the mistake lies in the latter part. After a dispute arises, one person will inevitably die, and only then will the contention for that Great Dao end, rather than the other person being lost in the sea of people.]
