"What did you say?" Ling Feng's golden eyes stared at the man in white robe.
System. This is his biggest secret.
The man in white robe raised his hand.
The surrounding space is distorted.
Myriad Realms Hall and hundreds of God King disappeared.
Only two people were left standing in the pure white space.
"This is 'Speech Domain'." The man in white robe took off his mask.
Revealing an ordinary middle-aged face.
"Our conversation..." "Will not be monitored by any being." "Including 'Him'."
Ling Feng holds the golden hammer tightly. "Who are you?" "How do you know the system?"
The man in white robe smiled. "Me?" "I am the previous 'Key'." "Or..." "It is the failed 'Key'."
A ball of light appeared in his palm.
In the light ball, the broken system interface is vaguely visible.
It's almost exactly the same as Ling Feng's system.
Just more broken.
"You..." Ling Feng's pupils contracted.
"Thirty thousand years ago." The man in white robe said slowly. "I also bound a 'Myriad Worlds Sign-In System'." "Same as you." "Invincible at the beginning, sweeping across the world."
He looked at Ling Feng. "But I'm luckier than you." "It took me eight thousand years..." "I reached the Half-Step God Emperor state."
"Half-Step God Emperor?" Ling Feng frowned. "Above God King?"
"Yes." The man in white robe nodded. "God King, God Emperor, Supreme God, Creation God." "These are the four divine realms recognized by the heavens."
"Then why did you..." Ling Feng looked at the broken system in his hand.
"Because I discovered the truth." The man in white robe's eyes dimmed. "The system..." "It's not a gift." "It's a cage."
He waved.
The ball of light exploded.
Countless images emerged.
In the picture, men in white robes are sweeping across the world. Devouring countless Divine Core. The system is constantly being upgraded.
Until one day.
When he broke through God Emperor.
The system prompt has changed:
[Detected 'Key' maturity 100%] [Start executing 'Harvesting Program']
The man in white robe's expression changed drastically. "What harvest?!"
[Answer: The system binder is 'Key'] ['Key''s mission is to swallow the energy of all heavens and worlds] [After maturity, it will be recycled by 'him'] [All cultivation, memory, existence of 'Key'...] [will become nutrients for 'him']
The man in white robe resisted wildly.
But it's no use.
The system began to swallow him back.
He tried everything he could and blew himself up to 90% of his cultivation level before forcibly cutting off the system connection.
From then on, the system was broken and his level dropped to Peak God King.
The screen ends.
Ling Feng was silent for a long time.
"So..." He looked up. "My system..." "Eventually it will eat me?"
"Yes." The man in white robe nodded. "But you have two advantages."
"First." "Your system version is higher than mine." "The functions are more complete." "This means that 'He' is more attentive to the cultivation of 'Key'." "The harvesting time may be longer."
"Second." "You haven't broken through God Emperor yet." "'Harvesting Program' is only triggered at the God Emperor level." "You still have time."
Ling Feng took a deep breath. "That 'He'..." "What on earth is it?"
The man in white robe shook his head. "I don't know." "I only feel a breath when the system is out of control..." "That breath..." "Beyond Creation God."
He looked at Ling Feng. "It may be an existence 'outside the heavens'." "It may also be..." "The creator of all worlds."
Ling Feng Clenched his fists.
"Tell me this..." "What do you want me to do?"
"Cooperation." The man in white robe said seriously. "I have been studying for thirty thousand years." "I have found a possible way to break the situation."
"What method?"
"Before He reaps..." "Become Him first."
The white-robed man's eyes were wild. "We take the initiative to devour the system!" "Reversely refine the mark left by 'His'!" "Then..." "As 'Key'..." "Seize 'His' authority!"
Ling Feng's pupils shrank.
"Are you crazy?" "You don't even know what 'He' is..." "You just want to devour 'Him' in turn?"
"That's why we have to cooperate." The man in white robe waved his hand.
A complex formation emerged in the pure white space.
In the center of the formation, there is a blood-colored rune suspended.
"This is 'Fate-Reversing Formation'." "It took me thirty thousand years of research to complete it." "As long as it is started when the system triggers harvesting..." "It can reverse the direction of devouring."
He looked at Ling Feng. "But the formation requires two 'Key's to be activated at the same time." "One is the main one, withstanding the backlash." "One is the auxiliary, providing energy."
"You want me to be cannon fodder?" Ling Feng sneered.
"No." The man in white robe shook his head. "I will be the main leader." "You assist." "Because..." He smiled bitterly. "My system is broken." "I cannot withstand the complete backlash." "But your system is intact..." "There is hope of survival."
Ling Feng stared at him. "Why should I trust you?"
"With this." The man in white robe took out a crystal.
Sealed in the crystal is a ray of... system aura.
Same origin as the system of Ling Feng...
"This is the System Fragment I stripped off back then." The man in white robe handed it to him. "You can let the system analyze it." "See if what I said is true or false."
Ling Feng took the crystal.
[Detected the same origin System Fragment] [Under analysis...] [Confirmation: The fragments come from 'Myriad Worlds Sign-In System Version 3.0' (destroyed)] [Fragment memory reading...] [Confirmation: What the white-robed man (codename: Pioneer) said is true] [Warning: There is a hidden command of 'Harvesting Program' in the system] [Trigger condition: Host breaks through the God Emperor Realm]
The system prompts that it is cold.
Ling Feng Silence.
It turns out... I am really just a "Key".
"Key" who was fattened and then slaughtered.
"Do you believe it now?" the man in white robe asked.
Ling Feng nodded. "I believe it." "But..." He raised his eyes. "I still refuse."
"Why?!" the man in white robe said anxiously. "This is the only chance!"
"Because I don't believe you." Ling Feng The golden hammer pointed at him. "You said you were the leader of the formation..." "But what if the formation is fraudulent?" "What if you want to seize my complete system?" "Thirty thousand years..." "Enough for you to lay any trap."
The white-robed man's expression froze.
"Ling Feng..." "I don't need to lie to you."
"It's necessary." Ling Feng grinned. "Because if it were me..." "I would do the same thing."
He activates Space Anchoring Talisman.
"Cooperation is possible." "But not now." "When I break through Peak God King..." "I will come to you again."
"When the time comes..." "Let's talk about who is in charge and who is in charge."
The talisman's light lit up.
"Wait!" the man in white robe said hurriedly. "When you break through Peak God King..." "'He' may pay attention in advance!" "At that time..."
"We'll talk about it later." Ling Feng interrupted him. "Farewell."
The space door opens.
He stepped in.
The man in white robe wanted to stop him.
But Ling Feng struck back.
"Bounty Reversal--Bounce!"
The confinement formation that the man in white robe secretly deployed just now... was all bounced back.
The man in white robe was trapped by his own formation.
"You..." He widened his eyes.
Ling Feng disappeared into the space door.
Pure white space collapses.
Myriad Realms Hall reappears.
Hundreds of God King are still in place.
When they saw the man in white robe trapped, they were shocked.
"Palace Master!"
The man in white robe breaks free from the formation.
He looked in the direction where Ling Feng disappeared. His eyes were complicated.
"So vigilant..." "As expected of the new generation 'Key'."
He waved his hand. "Send the order." "Cancel all rewards for Ling Feng." "From today on..." "Myriad Realms Hall will no longer be his enemy."
"Palace Master?!" Everyone God King was shocked. "But 'His' will..."
"I will explain to 'him' myself." The man in white robe turned around. "Now..." "Everyone is gone."
Everyone God King looked at each other in shock.
Eventually receded.
The man in white robe stood alone in front of the stone tablet.
He caressed the broken system light ball.
"Thirty thousand years of waiting..." "Finally waiting for a complete 'Key'."
"Ling Feng..." "You can't escape." "When you break through God Emperor..." "We... will meet again."
His figure faded away.
Douluo Continent.
Shrek ruins.
The space door opens.
Ling Feng walks out.
Liekong The three of them immediately came forward.
"How is it?" "Has Myriad Realms Hall been dismantled?"
Ling Feng shook his head. "It's not broken down." "But it's settled." "They won't cause any more trouble."
Shixu frowned. "Negotiated?" "You negotiate terms with them?"
"That's right." Ling Feng looked at the Time Secret Realm's light door. "How many more days are there?"
"Two days." Zai'e said. "There are still two hundred days in the secret realm." "They are practicing smoothly." "Dai Mubai has already touched the threshold of God Level."
Ling Feng nodded.
He sat down cross-legged.
"I want to retreat." "These two days..." "Don't let anyone disturb me."
The three of them looked at each other.
"Got it."
They backed away.
Set up a triple barrier.
Ling Feng Close your eyes.
"System." He thought silently in his mind. "I want to check 'Harvesting Program'."
[Insufficient permissions] [Harvesting Program is top secret] [Unlocking condition: Host reaches Peak God King]
"Sure enough..."
Ling Feng sneered.
"Then let me change the question." "System, what is your ultimate goal?"
[Assist the host to become the strongest in the world]
"Lying."
Ling Feng runs Soul Power. "Clear Sky Hammer--God-Refining Hammer!"
The golden hammer emerges.
He directly poured Soul Power into the system interface.
"Give me..." "Tell the truth!"
[Warning! The host is attacking System Core!] [Stop immediately! Otherwise Countermeasure Program will be triggered!]
"Counterattack?" Ling Feng grinned. "Come on." "Let me see..." "What can you do to me!"
He exploded with all his might.
Soul Power Crazy Impact System from God King Level.
The system interface begins to tremble.
[Countermeasure Program starts] [Start extracting host vitality]
Ling Feng felt that his vitality was rapidly passing away.
But he didn't let go.
"Continue!" "Let's see who can't hold on first!"
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Thirty minutes.
Ling Feng looks pale.
But the system interface... has a crack.
[Warning! System structure is damaged!] [Emergency repair in progress...]
At this moment.
A ray of information leaked out of the cracks.
Ling Feng Instant capture.
That is... a hidden record.
[Record number: 001] [Experimental subject: Pioneer (man in white robe)] [Status: Cultivation failed (early awakening)] [Processing plan: Give up recycling and change to observation]
[Record number: 002] [Experimental subject: Ling Feng (current host)] [Status: Under cultivation (excellent progress)] [Estimated harvest time: When God Emperor Realm breaks through] [Remarks: This 'Key' has extremely high potential, it is recommended to focus on cultivation]
Log this interruption.
The system repaired the crack.
Ling Feng takes back Soul Power.
He gasped for breath.
But in his eyes... there was fire.
"Experimental subject..." "Cultivation..."
"As expected..." "I'm just an experiment."
He clenched his fists.
"But..." "Experimental subjects also have their own ways of living."
"System." Ling Feng spoke again. "I want to redeem all the reputation."
[Current reputation: 11000 (after deducting the secret realm consumption)] [Redeemable list:] [1. God King Level Soul Skill×1 (10000 reputation)] [2. Time Acceleration Card(1:1000)×1(1000 reputation)] [3. Divine Core Fragment×10(1000 reputation)] [4...]
"Replace all with Time Acceleration Card."
[Exchange successfully] [Obtained: Time Acceleration Card(1:1000)×11] [Instructions for use: Can be used on any target, accelerates the time flow rate 1000 times, lasting 1 hour (outside time)]
Ling Feng Get up.
Go to the Time Secret Realm.
"Liekong." He said. "I want to enter the secret realm." "Set the time flow rate..." "Add it to the maximum."
"The biggest?" Liekong was stunned. "The secret realm is already 1:100..." "No matter how big it is, their bodies can't bear it."
"I have a way." Ling Feng took out Time Acceleration Card. "Use this."
He activates a card.
The light gate of the secret realm shook violently.
The flow rate of time... instantly soared to 1:1100!
"This..." Liekong was shocked. "How come you have the time treasure?!"
"Don't ask." Ling Feng stepped into the light door. "Guard the outside." "Wait for me to come out..."
He turned back. The golden light burned in his eyes.
"I will be..." "'Key', the first anti-kill system."
The light door is closed.
In the secret realm.
Three hundred days have passed and two hundred days have passed.
Shrek Seven Devils is practicing hard.
Dai Mubai is covered in golden light. He is only one step away from becoming a god...
Behind Tang San, the shadows of Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer alternate. The aura has reached the peak of Demigod.
Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Oscar... are all on the verge of breakthrough.
Ling Feng appears.
"Brother Ling Feng?" Xiao Wu was surprised. "Why did you come in?"
"Come to help you speed up." Ling Feng took out ten Time Acceleration Card. "Everyone sit down." "I want to activate a thousand times acceleration."
"A thousand times?!" Dai Mubai stared. "Then we don't have to stay here for... hundreds of years?!"
"There are only a few hours outside." Ling Feng activated the card. "Are you ready?" "Next..." "It's going to hurt."
The card explodes.
The torrent of time sweeps through the secret realm.
Seven people screamed at the same time.
Their bodies... began to disintegrate and reorganize under the flow of time a thousand times faster.
This is the ultimate pain.
But it's also... the ultimate opportunity.
Ling Feng sits cross-legged in the center.
He also endures the erosion of time.
"System." He whispered in his heart. "Since you want to cultivate 'Key'..." "Then..." "Cultivation to the end."
He runs all Soul Power.
The impact begins... Peak God King.
Time in the secret realm passes quickly.
One hundred days. Two hundred days. Three hundred days...
Outside world. Night falls and dawn comes.
Liekong The three of them were guarding outside the light door.
suddenly.
The light door vibrated violently.
"It's coming out!" Shixu shouted.
The light door exploded.
Eight figures walked out.
The leader. Ling Feng.
Behind him. Seven people... all surrounded by divine light!
Dai Mubai--War God Godhood! Tang San--Sea God Godhood! Xiao Wu--Forest God Godhood! Ning Rongrong--Nine-Colored Goddess Godhood! Zhu Zhuqing--God of Speed Godhood! Ma Hongjun--Phoenix God Godhood! Oscar--Food God Godhood!
Seven people. All become gods!
And Ling Feng...
The moment he stepped out of the light door.
The sky opened nine gaps.
Nine colors of divine thunder fall.
That's... God Emperor Tribulation!
"He..." Liekong's voice trembled. "He's going to break through God Emperor?!"
Ling Feng raised his head.
The golden hammer points to the sky.
"Come!" "Let me see..." "You 'Harvesting Program'..." "How strong you are!"
The nine-color divine thunder swallowed him up.
But in the lightning, his wild laughter could be heard.
"System!" "I know you are watching!" "If you have the ability..." "Come and harvest me now!"
Lightning exploded.
A phantom slowly rose from Ling Feng's body.
That's... the body of the system!
