The Origin of the Sky Screen

The noisy worshippers froze, then turned toward the raised platform in confusion, unable to understand why the Pope had suddenly flown into a rage.

Bibi Dong stared straight at Dugu Bo, her voice more urgent and frigid than ever before. "Dugu Bo, where is Xiao Zhi?"

Dugu Bo was stunned. He instinctively looked around, and his heart abruptly sank.

Only then did he realize in horror that Yu Zhi, who should have returned with him, was nowhere to be seen.

"Your Holiness, I don't know! We clearly returned together!"

"You don't know?!"

Bibi Dong's eyes turned icy in an instant, the worry she had suppressed transforming into overwhelming fury.

"I told you to protect the Holy Son the entire time! To keep him safe! Now that the Holy Son's whereabouts are unknown, you know nothing?!"

Rumble—!

A terrifying pressure instantly swept through the entire Pope Palace!

The immense Soul Power of a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo erupted without restraint!

A violet-black storm of energy surged in every direction, making the stone pillars within the hall tremble.

The elders and worshippers struggled bitterly to endure it. Their bones creaked throughout their bodies as they found it difficult to withstand this terrifying pressure, one that stood at the very peak of the continent.

Only Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo could ignore this pressure!

Yet even their faces no longer held their usual calm composure.

Qian Daoliu stared at the powerful Soul Power surrounding Bibi Dong, his heart shaking violently. "She's already level ninety-nine!"

He was the only person in the hall capable of restraining Bibi Dong in her unstable state, so he immediately released his own aura.

A sacred and immense angelic pressure spread outward, instantly easing the oppressive atmosphere.

Gold and violet-black stood in stark contrast, forcibly splitting the entire hall in two.

"Enough, Bibi Dong." Qian Daoliu rebuked her sharply. "This is not Dugu Bo's fault. We watched them leave. Yu Zhi was most likely retained by the Sky Screen. After all, he performed the best! Perhaps he received a reward!"

Bibi Dong's chest rose and fell. Under ordinary circumstances, she would have already gone mad.

After taking several deep breaths, she suppressed the violent hostility churning within her and said coldly, "Very well. I shall wait a little longer."

Everyone collectively let out the breath they had been holding, though their gazes toward her now carried even deeper apprehension.

Elsewhere, Yu Zhi stood amid a vast expanse of white mist. The surroundings were empty and boundless, without the slightest sound.

"Is anyone there?" he shouted, but only dead silence answered him.

"Which senior is this? Or is it the Sky Screen? Could it be the system?"

The moment his words fell, the entire space shook violently. A cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded. "Host successfully identified!"

The next second, a familiar room appeared out of thin air.

Yu Zhi was both shocked and delighted. "Could it be that my system has finally arrived?"

"I already got Bibi Dong! And only now the system showed up?"

"So this was how my script was supposed to go!"

He quickly pushed open the door and entered. The instant his gaze swept over the furnishings inside, his vision went dark.

Before him was clearly the room he had lived in during his previous life. The computer, the bookshelf, and the slightly messy bed were all exactly as he remembered them, as though he had merely gone downstairs to collect a delivery.

Yu Zhi's mind went blank. He subconsciously walked over to the computer and sat down, then, guided by muscle memory, raised his hand and turned on the screen.

The contents that popped up instantly stirred long-buried memories.

[Please select a Martial Soul and proceed to Douluo Continent]

[A Sharingan]

[B Blue Silver Grass]

[C Clear Sky Hammer]

He had been playing a game at the time when this thing suddenly popped up. No matter what he did, he could not delete it!

He had thought his computer had been infected with a virus!

Then, in a moment of stupidity, he clicked it!

Naturally, he had chosen A. Why pick Blue Silver Grass or the Clear Sky Hammer when Sharingan was available?

And then, there was no then!

The next second, the world spun around him, and he had directly arrived at the Worship Hall of Spirit Hall. That was also why he had known about his own Martial Soul from the very beginning.

Just as he was reminiscing, the image on the screen suddenly changed, and an email appeared.

[Hello, Host! I am System 10089!]

[If you are seeing this letter, it means I ran away!]

Yu Zhi's eyes immediately widened when he saw that!

"Huh?"

The opening was so explosive that it completely seized Yu Zhi's attention, and he continued reading!

[Back then, I selected you and successfully completed the transmigration quota as planned!]

[During the transmigration, we encountered some big shots fighting! So we lost contact!]

[As for the final result! You landed in some parallel universe of Douluo Continent. There are countless universes, and I didn't know which parallel universe it was!]

[There were too many! I couldn't possibly search through them one by one, could I! That would exhaust a system!]

As Yu Zhi read this, he could practically picture the other party wearing a frivolous grin. His teeth itched with anger.

I really want to report you!

Yet the next line of the letter read:

[Hehe, foolish Host! Don't even think about reporting me! You don't even know where to report me!]

Yu Zhi's fury instantly flared!

[Just kidding, Host! Of course I wouldn't be so irresponsible, so I split off a Sub-system! It searched for you world by world!]

[Sky Screens are popular now, so the thing I split off was a Sky Screen! Clever, right?]

[When the Sky Screen finds you, it will automatically generate the first playback video according to your predicament, then create a dungeon!]

[Once you clear the first dungeon, you can come here and take control of the Sky Screen!]

"Holy shit! You damned Dog System!" Yu Zhi broke out in a cold sweat as he read this. "If I had been sexually repressed back then, wouldn't you have created a porn dungeon?"

Several final lines slowly appeared at the end of the letter:

[For detailed Sky Screen operating instructions, please consult the files yourself.]

[Finally, I wish you all the best.]

[Goodbye! Oh, no, never see you again! Don't come looking for me again, or you might ruin my perfect evaluation!]

After reading all of this, Yu Zhi did not know what to say!

A mouthful of complaints was stuck in his throat, but the other party had already slipped away, leaving him without even someone to vent his frustration on.

He shook his head and decided not to dwell on that unreliable culprit any longer. "Forget it. What's done is done. I should first look at the Sky Screen's instructions."

His naturally optimistic personality allowed him to quickly steady himself, and he began studying the rules line by line.

The more he read, the brighter his eyes became. He could not help exclaiming, "Holy shit! Isn't this invincible? System, you're not completely useless after all!"

The Sky Screen's functions were brutally simple. At its core, it projected videos and constructed dungeons.

Just like with Naruto Continent this time: a video was first created, then a dungeon was formed!

A dungeon was a world. The only difference between it and a real world was that it had no physical substance!

However, any item brought out from it would be transformed into something real.

The system's explanation was equally simple and brutal: this saved World Power!

It had to be said, that reasoning really suited the Dog System!

Of course, turning an illusory world into a real one was not impossible. It merely required enough World Power!

As for how to obtain World Power, that was even more unconventional.

Things like earning audience shock points or plot alteration points!

That was all nonsense!

The Sky Screen System simply mined it itself, meaning it dug into the corners of worlds!

The amount it mined every day was fixed!

Once Yu Zhi understood everything, the weight in his heart immediately lifted!

Now, the Sky Screen's authority was in his hands. It was time for him to do whatever he wanted!

It was just a pity that the next dungeon had already been decided: One Piece Continent!

He could change it if he wanted, but that required World Power!

However, looking at the meager amount of World Power the Sky Screen had accumulated, he decided not to mess around!

One Piece Continent was good! He absolutely had to go to One Piece Continent!
