Huo Yuhao looked indifferent, his face expressionless.
Whether he had rolled nine Sacred Cups in a row or watched the system spirit slit his own throat, he felt nothing.
None of it stirred any feeling in him.
After all, he had just gambled with his life!
Although his mother had taught him from childhood to treat others kindly and never do evil, that system spirit had clearly been an evil man.
Before meeting him, the spirit had already killed four hundred and thirty-seven people. Without such heaven-defying luck, Huo Yuhao probably would have died at his hands too.
Nine Sacred Cup results in consecutive throws-Huo Yuhao could not imagine anyone else managing that.
He had eliminated one menace, at least!
Still, this Three Harms System was certainly novel. After that system spirit died, Huo Yuhao had become completely bound to the system.
Although the system spirit had vanished, the system still possessed consciousness and could answer some of Huo Yuhao's most basic questions, such as what it was, what it could do, and who the three harms were.
Huo Yuhao learned that the Three Harms System was actually a very simple system. It could accomplish some utterly inconceivable things and was more advanced and mysterious than this world's martial souls.
In the system's own words, finding it was like picking up a ghost.
Then there was the fact that every world had different three harms. Having just finished assimilating, it had locked onto this world's three harms.
Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Tang Hao.
The names sounded familiar to Huo Yuhao, as though he had heard them somewhere before, but he could not recall where just then.
"Then, system, how do I kill these three harms? Where do I go to kill them? Are they gone after I kill them once?"
The moment Huo Yuhao asked his questions, the system's voice rang out.
"Of course not, Master. How could you only kill these three harms once? This system will open a teleportation passage for you and transport you to the spaces where the three harms exist across different timelines. You only need to successfully kill the three harms in that timeline to complete the mission and receive rewards."
So that was how it worked?
Huo Yuhao sank into thought again, deeply shaken by what the system had just said.
He could kill these three harms endlessly, which meant he could obtain endless rewards. But all this talk of different timelines left him bewildered. After all, he was only an eleven-year-old child.
"System, could you explain it in detail? And when you say the three harms in different timelines, does that mean these three harms really exist?"
"Yes, Master. These three harms really exist. One has already become a God King of your world, another is a god of your world, and the last one has kicked the bucket."
"Tang San, the foremost of these three harms, actually isn't from your world. Like me, he came from another world."
"He is an outsider. Originally, Douluo Star's future did not include him, so the instant he transmigrated into this world, the worldline split into hundreds of millions of branches: some where he lived, some where he died, some where he fell on hard times, some where he prospered..."
"This system aims to help its host travel into those parallel timelines and kill him, giving the universe one more world without Tang San."
"This system is a very righteous system."
Huo Yuhao: See if I believe that!
"When I was assimilating with your world just now, I reached a very simple agreement with your world's plane will: to help her purge other worlds that contain Tang San! Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang are merely included along the way."
"Because Tang Hao's existence made Tang San's transmigration possible, the timelines you travel to will span a very broad range, Master."
"From Tang Hao's birth to your present time, anything is possible. Your destination will be random."
"You may kill any of the three harms at will, in no particular order. Every time you kill one, you will receive a special reward.
"These rewards come from the myriad worlds across the heavens and drop at random. They can greatly increase your chances of clearing the mission, Master. If a divine artifact drops, you'll be invincible on the spot."
"Once you have successfully killed all three harms, you can slit your throat to return to this body. This system will then calculate your rewards based on your performance."
"Master, would you like to begin your first mission to eliminate the three harms now? Before you begin, you can try a Sacred Cup throw."
"Before the mission begins, Master can lower its difficulty by rolling Sacred Cups. Each Sacred Cup lowers the difficulty by ten percent, and you may throw a total of nine times."
"Of course, the first mission is a special introductory round, so you may make your throws in your own world. After that, Master will only be able to make them in other worlds."
Huo Yuhao's heart lurched. Though weak, he was no fool. Clearly, the system already knew about his heaven-defying luck. It knew that his luck in this world was so outrageous that he could roll as many Sacred Cups as he wanted.
"All right, start the first mission now. I want to roll Sacred Cups!"
As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, a pair of divination blocks identical to the ones from before appeared in his hands.
"Lord Guan above, my name is Huo Yuhao. I am eleven years old and live on the mountain behind the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Please grant me your blessing."
Then Huo Yuhao tossed them lightly.
One yin, one yang.
Sacred Cup!
Nine repetitions, nine Sacred Cups.
"Thank you, Lord Guan."
Huo Yuhao did not know who Lord Guan was, but Lord Guan had indeed blessed him, so Huo Yuhao decided to enshrine him and make offerings from now on!
"Congratulations, Master, on rolling nine Sacred Cups. Mission difficulty has been reduced by ninety percent. You will receive a permanent item: the complete text of Douluo Continent 1."
It contained a complete account of how Tang San had come to this world, from his humble beginnings to his eventual ascension to godhood.
"As well as biographies of the other two harms. Once you understand them, you will gain the greatest cheat of all: a plot cheat.
"At the same time, this system will conceal you from heavenly divination, preventing Tang San in the Divine Realm from sensing your existence.
"These are the two permanent benefits provided by the ninety-percent difficulty reduction.
"Then you will be reborn into an extremely powerful family and possess an extremely powerful martial soul.
"Of course, you are permitted to bring your spirit eyes martial soul with you, so regardless of the difficulty, you will either be a genius with twin martial souls or a genius whose spirit eyes martial soul has mutated into an exceptional mutated martial soul."
As Huo Yuhao looked at the book that had materialized, his breathing quickened and his heart raced.
This was simply unbelievable. The system had actually compiled the true experiences of the three harms into a novel for him to read.
After all, he would be traveling to various periods in the lives of the three harms. If he knew the plot in advance, he could plan everything and complete the missions perfectly.
As expected of the tremendous benefits brought by nine Sacred Cups.
With this alone, Huo Yuhao no longer had any worries about the missions.
He would eliminate the three harms and make those rewards drop!
