The noisy worshippers froze, then turned toward the platform in confusion, unable to understand why the Pope had suddenly flown into a rage.
Bibi Dong stared directly at Dugu Bo, her voice more urgent and frigid than ever. "Dugu Bo, where is Xiao Zhi?"
Dugu Bo froze at her words and instinctively looked around. His heart suddenly sank.
Only then did he realize in horror that Yu Zhi, who should have returned with him, was nowhere to be found.
"Your Holiness, I don't know! We clearly returned together!"
"You don't know?!"
Bibi Dong's eyes turned icy in an instant, her pent-up worry transforming into towering fury.
"I told you to protect the Holy Son the entire time! To keep him safe! And now the Holy Son's whereabouts are unknown, yet you know nothing?!"
Rumble—!
A terrifying pressure instantly swept through the entire Pope Palace!
The vast Soul Power of a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo erupted without reservation!
A violet-black energy storm surged in all directions, 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 peak of the continent.
Only Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo could ignore this pressure!
Yet even their faces had lost their usual composure.
Qian Daoliu gazed at the immense Soul Power surrounding Bibi Dong, his heart shaking violently. "She's already level ninety-nine!"
He was the only one in the hall capable of suppressing Bibi Dong in her unstable state, so he immediately unleashed his own aura.
A holy and majestic angelic pressure spread outward, and the oppressive atmosphere abruptly eased.
Gold and violet-black stood sharply divided, forcibly splitting the entire hall in two.
"Enough, Bibi Dong." Qian Daoliu rebuked her sternly. "Dugu Bo cannot be blamed for this. We watched them leave, and Yu Zhi was very likely kept behind by the Sky Screen. After all, he performed the best! He may even have received a reward!"
Bibi Dong's chest rose and fell. Under normal circumstances, she would have already gone mad.
After taking several deep breaths, she suppressed the surging hostility within her and said coldly, "Fine. I will wait a little longer."
Everyone let out their held breaths at once, but the way they looked at her now carried even deeper apprehension.
Elsewhere, Yu Zhi stood amid an endless expanse of white mist. The surroundings were empty and boundless, without the slightest sound.
"Is anyone there?" he shouted, but only deathly silence answered him.
"Which senior is this? Or the Sky Screen? Could it be the system?"
The moment his words fell, the entire space shook violently. A cold mechanical voice suddenly rang out. "Host successfully identified!"
The next second, a familiar room appeared out of thin air.
Yu Zhi was shocked and delighted. "Could it be that my system has finally arrived?"
"I've already won over Bibi Dong! And only now the system comes?"
"So this was how my script was supposed to go!"
He quickly pushed open the door and entered. When his gaze swept over the furnishings inside, his vision went dark.
This was clearly the room he had lived in during his previous life. The computer, the bookshelf, and even the slightly messy bed were exactly as he had left them, as though he had merely gone downstairs to collect a delivery.
Yu Zhi's mind went blank. He subconsciously sat down in front of the computer, then, driven by muscle memory, raised his hand and turned on the screen.
The contents that appeared on the interface instantly stirred 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 he had gotten a virus!
Then, in a moment of stupidity, he clicked it!
Of course, he chose A. With the Sharingan available, why would he choose Blue Silver Grass or the Clear Sky Hammer?
And then, there was no then!
The next second, the world spun around him, and he descended directly into 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 about the past, the screen abruptly changed, and an email appeared.
[Hello, Host! I am System 10089!] [When you see this letter, it means I've already run away!]
Yu Zhi's eyes widened at once when he saw this!
"Huh?"
The opening was so explosive that it completely seized Yu Zhi's attention, and he continued reading!
[Thinking back, I selected you and successfully completed the transmigration quota as planned!] [During the transmigration process, we ran into some big shots fighting! So we got separated!] [As for the final result! You landed in some parallel universe of Douluo, and there are countless universes, but I had no idea which parallel universe you were in!] [There were too many! I couldn't possibly search for you one world at a time, could I! That would be far too exhausting for a system!]
Reading this, Yu Zhi could practically picture the other party's carefree, irresponsible face in his mind. His teeth itched with anger.
I really want to report you!
The very next line of the letter read:
[Hehe, stupid Host! Don't even think about reporting me! You don't even know where to report me!]
Yu Zhi immediately exploded with rage!
[Just kidding, Host! Of course I wouldn't be so irresponsible, so I split off a Sub-system! It searched for you one world at a time!] [Sky Screens are popular these days, so the one I split off became a Sky Screen! Smart, right!] [When the Sky Screen finds you, it will automatically create the first playback video based on your predicament, then form a Dungeon!] [Once you clear the first Dungeon, you can come here and take control of the Sky Screen!]
"Fuck! You damned Dog System!" Yu Zhi broke out in a cold sweat as he read this. "If I'd been sexually repressed back then, wouldn't you have created a pornographic Dungeon?"
Several final lines slowly appeared at the bottom of the letter:
[For detailed Sky Screen operating procedures, please consult the files yourself.] [Lastly, I wish you all the best.] [Goodbye! Oh no, I mean, may we never meet again! Don't come looking for me again, or you might ruin my perfect evaluation!]
After reading everything, Yu Zhi did not know what to say!
A mouthful of complaints stuck in his throat, but the other party had long since slipped away, leaving him without even someone to vent at.
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 through the Sky Screen's instructions."
His naturally optimistic temperament allowed him to quickly adjust his mindset, and he began studying the rules line by line.
The more he read, the brighter his eyes became. He could not help exclaiming, "Fuck! Isn't this completely invincible? System, you're not that much of a dog after all!"
The Sky Screen's functions were simple and direct. Its core functions were projecting videos and constructing Dungeons.
Just like with Naruto Continent this time, it first formed a video, then created a Dungeon!
A Dungeon was a world. The only difference from a real world was that it had no physical substance!
However, as long as an item was brought out from it, it would be converted into something real.
The System's explanation was just as simple and direct: it saved World Power!
He had to admit, that reason suited the Dog System perfectly!
Of course, turning an illusory world into a real one was not impossible. It simply required enough World Power!
As for how to obtain World Power, that was even further from the usual routines.
Things like earning audience shock value or plot alteration points!
That was all bullshit!
The Sky Screen System relied entirely on mining by itself, in other words, digging into the corners of worlds!
The amount it mined each day was fixed!
After figuring everything out, Yu Zhi immediately felt a weight lift from his heart!
Now that control of the Sky Screen 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 set: One Piece Continent!
He could change it, but it would cost World Power!
But when he saw the pitifully small amount of World Power the Sky Screen had accumulated, he decided not to bother!
One Piece Continent was good! He absolutely had to go to One Piece Continent!
