The Slaughter System's Embarrassment and Bargaining

"Boom!"

In the distant void, the Blade of Slaughter and the Sword of Cause and Effect collided with a deafening roar.

The burst of brilliant light was like a blazing sun reappearing in the world, and the surrounding void shattered in response.

At that very moment, the Slaughter System suddenly sensed the approaching sword of negative energy and cried out in alarm:

"Oh no! There's another attack coming from behind!"

It immediately conjured two killing blades in front of Ye Chen, with the power of the Slaughter Principle swirling around the blades.

Then, with a chilling aura of slaughtering the world, it swiftly met the attack like lightning.

"Boom!"

The void shattered once more, and violent energy swept in all directions. Even Ye Chen, who was far away, was blasted away by the aftershocks.

He felt a sweet taste in his throat, and blood gushed out. Gazing at the terrifying sight of the shattered void in the distance, his face was filled with shock and disbelief.

If he had been closer, he would probably be dead.

"System, you have to think of something! If this keeps up, I'm going to die!"

The Slaughter System responded, "Host, rest assured, I have concealed the secrets of Tianji and severed causality. The Fairness System will never be able to find our trace again."

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then angrily questioned, "Didn't you claim to be the strongest system in all the heavens and myriad realms?"

How could it be so easily locked down by the Fairness System and then attacked by it?

Non-Self hadn't been relatively far away, I would probably be dead by now!

The Slaughter System coldly replied, "The Fairness System is bound to countless hosts, with entangled and complex cause-and-effect relationships, making it extremely difficult to track and even easier to detect."

Ye Chen had already realized that this Slaughter System was far less powerful than it had boasted.

If it were truly invincible, how could it be that because the other side has many hosts, not only could it not find the true form of the Fairness System, but it would also be hunted down by others following its trajectory?

But he didn't dare say those words aloud; right now, he was entirely protected by the Slaughter System.

Without the system, not only will the Heavenly Dao notice, but there will also be no Cultivation Resources available for the system. Who knows when it will be possible to return to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

It can be said that he can only rely on the Slaughter System now, and he and the system are in the same boat.

However, we can't just let it go like this; some compensation is necessary.

Thinking of this, he sternly shouted again, "I almost lost my life because of your mistake this time. You must make it up to me!"

The Slaughter System, realizing its invincible image in Ye Chen's mind had been damaged, immediately tried to salvage the situation:

"Ding! Due to the system's carelessness, the host was nearly killed. Compensation is hereby granted."

The Slaughter Points you owe can be repaid later. New Slaughter Points earned later can be used to redeem resources in the System Store first.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and a smile instantly bloomed on his face.

In this way, there's no need to repay the debt first; all the newly acquired Slaughter Points can be used to exchange for Cultivation Resources.

This way, you can recover your cultivation level faster, and the higher your cultivation level, the easier it will be to obtain Slaughter Points.

He immediately grinned and laughed, "Haha, thank you, system! Once my cultivation level improves, I'll soon be able to pay back the Slaughter Points I owe you!"

"Let me see how many Slaughter Points you owe right now."

But when his gaze fell on the negative 152.3 billion Slaughter Points, the smile on his face instantly froze, followed by a furious roar:

"System, get out here! You were only in debt for a little over 10 billion before, but now you've suddenly increased it by over 140 billion."

That's outrageous! You're blatantly trying to scam me!

The Slaughter System's voice remained calm and composed. "This system has not tricked the host."

You previously stated that if I found the entity of the Fairness System and destroyed it, you would bear all the Slaughter Points consumed;

In addition, resisting two powerful attacks from the Fairness System and concealing the Tianji and severing cause and effect also consumed a large number of Slaughter Points.

Ye Chen instantly recalled what he had said before, as well as the terrifying attack he had just witnessed.

If the Slaughter System hadn't intervened, he would have already perished. Theoretically speaking, the system didn't really trick him.

But he wouldn't give up so easily. He agreed to bear all the costs back then because he believed that the Slaughter System could destroy the Fairness System.

But now, not only did the other party fail to destroy the Fairness System, but they also nearly killed him and left him with a huge debt. The fault originally lay with the Slaughter System; he was the victim.

Thinking of this, he angrily shouted, "System, don't try to argue!"

You claim to be the strongest system in all the heavens and myriad realms, capable of easily finding and destroying the true form of the Fairness System.

I agreed to bear all the costs precisely because I trusted you.

But now, not only have you failed to eliminate the Fairness System, you've almost killed me and left me with a huge debt. Isn't that your fault?

The Slaughter System fell silent, feeling awkward even as a system life form.

Ye Chen actually took his boast to heart.

But this time, they ran into the tough spot of the Fairness System, and it all went wrong.

It really couldn't bear to part with Ye Chen, such a useful tool; otherwise, it would have wanted to abandon him and find a new host by now.

At this moment, in order to salvage its image in Ye Chen's eyes, it could only offer further compensation:

"Ding! Due to a system malfunction that caused injury to the host, you are hereby granted a Creation Pill on credit to aid in your recovery."

Ye Chen was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting that the Slaughter System would actually be willing to provide compensation. Although the Creation Pill was obtained on credit, it was exactly what he urgently needed at the moment.

But he was not satisfied with that and immediately said, "System, your compensation is completely insincere!"

The Creation Pill was bought on credit, and now you have to repay it with Slaughter Points later. What kind of compensation is that?

Unless you give me another billion Slaughter Points on credit.

Upon hearing this, the Slaughter System fell silent again, silently weighing the pros and cons:

Ye Chen's cultivation level is currently too low, making it difficult for him to obtain Slaughter Points. Only by improving his cultivation level can he obtain Slaughter Points more quickly and repay his debts.

Giving him some Slaughter Points on credit right now would actually be in my best interest, but the fact that he asked for 1 billion is just too much.

"Host, this system has decided to extend you credit of 5 million Slaughter Points as compensation."

A glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes; he hadn't expected the system to actually relent.

Although it was only 5 million, it was a good start for negotiating.

He immediately pressed his advantage. "System, 5 million is too little, it's not enough for me to reach a higher level."

Think about it, once I reach a higher level, I'll gain more Slaughter Points faster, and naturally, I'll be able to pay off my debts more quickly. This is a huge benefit for you.

"Okay, I don't need the 1 billion anymore, just give me 100 million Slaughter Points!"

The Slaughter System replied decisively, "Host, I can only give you a maximum credit line of 20 million, that's all."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen understood that this was already the bottom line of the Slaughter System, and that it was wise to stop while he was ahead.

If things really get out of hand, it won't do him any good, since he still needs the Cultivation Resources from the Slaughter System to become stronger.

Now that he has these 20 million Slaughter Points, it's enough to help him get through this difficult period. From now on, he only needs to hunt living beings to continuously obtain Slaughter Points.

"Okay, 20 million it is, I agree."

He immediately redeemed a Spring-Returning Pill from the System Store, instead of the more expensive Creation Pill.

With his current cultivation level and injuries, a single Spring-Returning Pill would be enough to heal him; there's no need to waste more Slaughter Points to buy Creation Pill.

Slaughter Points are limited now, so save them if you can.

After taking the pill, he dared not delay for a moment and quickly retreated.

Those two earth-shattering collisions were so powerful that they must have alerted the experts from all around.
