Chapter 1349: Chapter 1343: Leisurely in the Mortal World (Grand Finale) _4
"Mother, I’ll explain later."
With a thought, Shi Xiaole brought five people to the air above Nine Heavens Mountain, where a vast expanse of supreme life and death energy surged toward the Life and Death Pool behind Divine Sword Villa.
The heavens and the earth thundered continuously, as if something inconceivable was happening.
Inside the Life and Death Pool, figures that had long vanished into the mists of history slowly rose to their feet.
They were the Three Divine Generals, Shui Wuling, Su Yanru, Xi Xianglei, Xia Yunxi, Ren Mengzhen, Zhu Ling, Qu Wuyan, Yao Yuxuan, Zhang Xiangfeng, Gui Zhihang... including those Shi Xuanzhong’s avatar knew, such as Ling Jingsi, Sentimental Demon Concubine, and so on. There were also a horse and an eagle; they were Qingfeng and Gold Thunder.
All of them looked around in confusion, but gradually, as their thoughts returned, they seemed to realize something, their expressions turning inexplicably excited.
The disturbance here seemed to have provoked the wrath of the heavens.
But with a gentle sweep of Shi Xiaole’s hand, a force not of this world, from the cracks of the endless void, flowed toward Nine Heavens Mountain, forming a layer of power, taking Nine Heavens Mountain into an unknown cloud-depth.
At that moment, the heavens finally dissipated their thunderous anger.
Shi Xuanzhong, however, looked at Shi Xiaole with worry, for his son’s strength had already reached the Broken Void Level, which made it difficult for him to stay in this universe for long.
"Father, don’t worry."
Shi Xiaole smiled, and in an instant, the power of his two soul-fragmented bodies was sealed away. His aura began to fall, until he returned to the Semi-Broken Level, and then he walked out from the endless void.
Shi Xiaole’s "Soul Fragmentation Technique," more mysterious and unpredictable than Qi Muchu’s, had reached the point where he could use it at will. As such, as long as he didn’t deliberately display it, he would never be rejected by this universe.
Shi Xiaole looked down at the crowd that was slowly growing livelier on Nine Heavens Mountain, a sincere smile of joy on his face.
From now on, as long as they didn’t leave this place, they would live forever, until the end of this universe.
Nine Heavens Mountain was vast, and with Shi Xiaole’s abilities, he could expand it slowly; there was no need to worry about boredom. Moreover, perhaps in the future, he might find a way to free everyone from Nine Heavens Mountain—who knows?
...
Shi Xiaole had finally fulfilled his longstanding wish, reviving all his friends and family, living days as beautiful as he imagined. But there was always one thing that lingered in his mind.
The system!
What exactly was the system in his mind?
There is always a reason for everything. The system could not have been born without a cause, so who created it? Shi Xiaole had a guess, but it needed verification.
Until one day.
Suddenly feeling something, he climbed Moral Mount again and entered that stone chamber.
"Young man, you really do have a way of infuriating me, to think you could have broken through the void long ago, yet you stubbornly stayed in this small pond. Do you think that’s worthy of your talent?"
A beam of light fell from the middle, and the projection of that Broken Level power once again appeared.
"Senior, didn’t you run out of energy left in this world long ago?"
Shi Xiaole said with an almost smile. He was acutely aware of the fluctuations in the world, and he had sensed an unusual force of rule, which brought him here.
The man snorted and said, "Enough with the nonsense, when are you coming up?"
Although he was a Broken Level powerhouse, it had cost him considerably to project himself into this world again, and he could not stay for long, hence the urgency.
"Why such a rush, senior?"
Shi Xiaole asked.
Knowing that Shi Xiaole would not agree without a clear explanation that day, the man had to say, "You can’t fool me with your crafty thoughts! I know what you’re after! Hmph! The thing in your brain is what I planted there!"
Shi Xiaole’s expression did not change, and he remained silent.
"The so-called system is nothing more than a form, think of it as a kind of mobile treasury. Tens of thousands of years ago, when I was bored, I collected some secret manuscripts from different worlds and, while the other overseers were not paying attention, I picked a few suitable candidates and implanted it into their brains—you’re one of them."
As he spoke of this, the old man let out a sneaky chuckle.
Overseers are not supposed to interfere with the operation of the universe, so he could only abduct people from other universes. After all, the punishment would fall on the heads of the other overseers, and it wouldn’t be severe; at most, they’d get struck by lightning a few times!
"Why?"
Shi Xiaole continued to ask.
From the first meeting, he had vaguely guessed that the mystery of the system was related to this man. (Chapter 1310)
"Heh heh, I just wanted to see, how far a genius could go with enough resources. Now it seems that only you have reached the expectation, while the rest have become indistinguishable from the masses. Indeed, willpower is the most critical," the man said.
Shi Xiaole turned to leave.
"Hey, wait, all right, the reason I wanted to cultivate you was for you to take my place! Boy, once you break through the void, you will become the controller of this universe, and then, holding the reins of heaven and earth, every word, every action will become law. Wouldn’t that be delightful?"
The man tried his best to tempt him, his mouth curling into a smile: "Do you think this lucrative job would fall to your lot if I hadn’t done it for too long and didn’t have a carefree nature, wanting to see other universes?"
Shi Xiaole stopped in his tracks and said with a laugh, "If that’s the case, such a good deal should remain with you, senior. Farewell." He stepped away.
He was not that foolish.
If it was as good as the other party claimed, why was it so difficult for him even to enter this universe? Perhaps being the overseer was real, but the process was surely not a pleasant one.
What can be more carefree and joyful than wandering hand in hand with his beloved wives, or enjoying drinks and merriment with friends and family?
"Damn it! You ungrateful brat, after all the cultivation I’ve wasted on you, you stand right there, hey, hey, everything is negotiable, I can agree to your..."
A tirade of curses followed from behind.
Shi Xiaole walked out of the stone chamber, looked at the brilliant sun in the sky, the clouds turning into gold, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Beautiful!
