The System Is Really a Jerk

[Please confirm whether you wish to give up the ability to control all the waters under heaven and extinguish Sun Fire]

The system didn't answer right away. Instead, it presented him with a choice.

But Kunpeng, who had been about to confirm his decision just moments ago, suddenly came to his senses.

What was this reward?

Control all the waters under heaven?

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

He knew that this path, if followed to its end, could lead to sainthood.

Of course, Primordial Qi was indispensable. Without it, all of this would be pointless.

But at least now there was hope. Even if he obtained Primordial Qi, he hadn't been very confident in his chances.

And now, wasn't this opportunity right in front of him?

Besides, once he controlled all the waters, he could surely find some kind of water capable of extinguishing True Sun Fire.

Given all that, Kunpeng no longer hesitated.

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

Tongtian: "You're a crafty one, aren't you? Where'd that determination to extinguish True Sun Fire go?"

Kunpeng: "..."

He'd thought it would be some ordinary reward, like an increase in cultivation or some other such thing.

But who could have guessed the system would offer something this good?

He'd be a fool to turn it down.

Meanwhile, an even more devious smile appeared on Qin Feng's face.

Since Kunpeng had gained the ability to control all the waters under heaven, that meant Qin Feng had gained it too.

He just needed some time to assimilate it.

He now had plenty of treasures on hand, but many of them were unusable.

For example, the golden pill he'd obtained earlier, which could replace one Kalpa's worth of cultivation.

Or the one percent of Power of Creation, and now, thanks to the Chat Group's upgrade, the ability to control all the waters under heaven.

All Qin Feng lacked now was time.

Since he had to answer three questions every day, the time he had to himself was extremely limited.

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

So Qin Feng hadn't tried to assimilate the ability yet. Besides, he had only just reached his current level of cultivation and hadn't been through many battles.

That could easily leave his foundation unstable.

That was why he still hadn't broken through. But if he got the chance to fight, that would be even better.

In other words, Qin Feng might take part in the upcoming war between the Witch and Demon Races, fighting on the outskirts.

[Question two: Does the Asura Race exist? If so, where did it come from?]

As soon as the system asked the question, the chat fell silent once again.

Everyone's mind raced as they tried to think it through.

But no matter how thoroughly they searched their memories, none of them could find the words "Asura Race" in them.

More importantly, they had noticed the second half of the question.

If it existed, where did it come from?

That meant the race might or might not exist. That was the challenge.

Qin Feng could only shake his head helplessly at the question.

As far as he remembered, the Asura Race should exist.

But he didn't know whether it existed at this point in the timeline.

The system's question was just too vicious. It was obviously trying to make them get the answer wrong.

Still, he liked it.

Anything the system learned from the others belonged to Qin Feng, the group owner.

Those powerful figures didn't care about these little things anyway, so if Qin Feng could get something for free, all the better.

The three-minute answering period soon passed, but no one buzzed in.

[If no one answers before time runs out, everyone will receive one punishment]

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

The ten of them had been prepared for the system to randomly select one of them to answer.

But none of them had expected the system to give them no chance at all, punishing all ten of them at once.

More importantly, losing a thousand years of life wasn't a big deal to them, but having their origin weakened by one ten-thousandth—

That was a disaster.

They were all Quasi-Saints. One ten-thousandth of their origin was an enormous amount.

But the ten of them weren't the only ones in a bad mood. Qin Feng was too.

The system had just sent him a notification.

[The punishment for this question is not applied directly to the host. It is meant to provide enough power to upgrade this group]

So that was it. The system had deliberately made things difficult for them to get enough power to upgrade the chat group.

As expected of a system that had turned evil. When it came to screwing people over, no one could beat it.

Even those ten powerful figures couldn't figure out why the system hadn't let them answer this time.

[Now, question three: If two people comprehend the same Great Dao, what will happen?]

[Congratulations, Houtu. You answered first]

The system had barely finished asking before the prompt announcing the first answer appeared.

It was Houtu, who hadn't said much in the group for a long time.

No one had expected Houtu to answer so quickly.

Even Kunpeng and Zhen Yuanzi, who were relatively weaker, were still thinking over the question.

Houtu: "If two people cultivate the same Great Dao at the same time, they will inevitably fight over it. The stronger one will inherit the Great Dao, while the other will be swallowed up."

The others nodded slightly after hearing her answer.

Although they weren't particularly willing to admit it, Houtu's answer seemed to fit what they remembered.

[Incorrect answer]

Houtu: "How can that be? This is clearly the right answer. Group owner, if you say it's wrong, then explain what the correct answer is."

Zhen Yuanzi: "That's right, group owner. We may not be as powerful, but we've heard the same thing."

The ten powerful figures in the group all chimed in. At that moment, even Qin Feng, the group owner, could only look helpless.

To be honest, his cultivation wasn't high enough to reach that level. How could he possibly know the answer?

All he could do now was stay quiet and wait for the system to explain.

Fortunately, the system didn't make him wait long.

[Correct answer: The first part is entirely correct. The mistake is in the latter part. After the dispute begins, one person must die for the contest over the Great Dao to end; the loser will not simply be swallowed up.]
