Chapter 691: The System Chooses

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment Shen Ying and the others entered the River of Forgetfulness, they saw white cracks appearing all around the system in front of them. It looked like it was breaking through the system. Chef’s chest tightened. Suddenly, all the source power gathered around the system, blocking its way.

Yi Qing waved his hand and caused a huge nomological force to surge toward the system, engulfing it. It became tighter and tighter, and threatened to control the system. The green codes around the system’s body began to swirl. The light became dimmer as the system looked to be more unstable. A clear electronic voice was heard.

[Di di, emergency situation. Identity exposed. Heavenly Dao attacking! Heavenly Dao attacking…] [

[Di di, activating self-protection. Back-up energy in use.]

[Activating back-up energy…]

“Ah!” An ear-piercing scream was emitted from inside the system. The black primary soul which had been covered by the green light from the system was now struggling. “001, what are you doing? It hurts! Let me go, let me go…”

Before “Shu Yi” could finish speaking, the entire black soul disappeared. The system began to glow green once again, as if it had re-activated its energy. Immediately, it broke through the suppressive nomological force. There was a loud crack. The system escaped through the hole in the River of Forgetfulness.

“Chef, what are you doing? Lonemoon asked, shocked. “Why didn’t you block it?”

Yi Qing frowned, not saying anything. Instead, he turned to Shen Ying questioningly. “Master, why did you…” The system had swallowed the ghost and increased its own energy by ten times, but its power was still nothing compared to Yi Qing’s. Shen Ying was the one who pulled Yi Qing back.

“Mm,” Shen Ying responded. She did not say more. Instead,she retrieved a familiar blue box and patted it. It was the parenting system from before. “Hey, stop playing Tenant Tycoon for a second. Direct me.”

[Arlight, Boss!] The blue box flew up. The pack of poker cards on the screen immediately switched to a familiar cartoon eye. {Signal confirmed. The target is heading toward Plane Coordinate SBSBSB155.24 – a wasteland.]

Shen Ying caught the parenting system in her hand once again and raised her hand to open the plane gate. She turned to the two of them and said, “Hurry, let’s go to its old cave!”

The two of them: “….” They exchanged a puzzled look.

( ̄△̄;)

It was then that they remembered. The 001 was only a supplementary system. There was something behind it, but they did not know yet what it was. Was Shen Ying trying to capture both of them at once? But when did this parenting system become so powerful? 001 had already escaped the plane, yet this parenting system was still able to track it down. It did not seem like the same system as before, which got stuck every time it tried to do something

But Shen Ying was already going through the plane passage. The two of them exchanged one more look. Then, they fixed the hole in the plane and followed Shen Ying’s lead. In a blink of an eye, everything around them became dark. They found themselves in absolute nothingness. There was nothing around them at all. Even the ground beneath their feet had disappeared.

“This is… the Chaos Void?” Lonemoon stared into space. This was the first time he was seeing the legendary Chaos Void. In the past, even when he left his own plane, he would only pass through the space between the planes. The Chaos Void was entirely outside any plane. It had no boundaries. No one knew just how big the void was. What’s more, there was nothing inside. Even the concepts of space and time meant nothing in this void. It was not just an empty land.

Lonemoon instinctively looked down at his own palm. Was he dreaming? Logically, their powers came from their own planes. Why did he feel like he was even more powerful in this void?

Before he could give it any further thought, the parenting system’s light flashed. It gave a reminder, “Reporting to Boss! An invader has been spotted 500m in front.”

They focused their gazes and found a white light flashing in front of them. A ball of green from a familiar system was rushing out of that white light It seemed to have just arrived here after breaking out of the plane. It was a surprise that the system was even slower than them.

Yi Qing moved quickly. He conjured a seal to hide the three people and one system.

The moment that system emerged, it headed toward its right. The three of them exchanged looks, then followed its lead very quietly. The parenting system led the entire group confidently.

[The “bad system” in front has taken a right turn 200m ahead… The “bad system” in front has knocked into some stones 300m ahead, please avoid… The “bad system” in front has sped up…]

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

“Shen Ying…” Lonemoon could not help but ask, “Since when did the parenting system have a GPS installed? Did you intend to let 001 out of the plane from the beginning?” It was no wonder that she did not seem anxious at all.

“That’s right,” Shen Ying took a bite out of her fruit and nodded. “Installing the GPS into the parenting system just makes everything easier. Otherwise, that system might take our plane as some rabbit’s hole.” Rather than allowing the system to create holes all over the plane, it would make much more sense to let it go once and for all.”

“Well…” Lonemoon wanted to ask more questions.

“It’s gone!” Yi Qing suddenly halted. He looked in front, confused.

Lonemoon paused and looked up. Indeed, the 001 system that had been in front of them the entire time had disappeared. All that was left was darkness.

“What happened?” How did it disappear? They were following it so closely. They weren’t even 500m away from it – it’s not possible that they lost it!

“I don’t know either. It disappeared all of a sudden.” Chef shook his head.

Even the parenting system was beginning to sound anxious.

[Boss, target disappeared! Target disappeared!]

“It didn’t disappear!” Shen Ying responded, frowning. She took one step forward and raised her right hand. She lightly moved her hand, as if touching something. The blackness gave way like a current on hitting a stone. The scene in front of them changed completely.

The other two watched closely, sucking in a deep breath.

What… is this?

After the ripples faded, they saw something huge floating in front of them. Green beams of light were shooting out of it in all directions, forming a cage around it. There were talismans with codes on them all around the cage. The thing had several hands waving around, each one wriggling in one direction. Faintly, they could see souls of various colours in each hand. They were gathering toward the palms.

That thing was incredibly huge. In fact, it was so huge that they could not exactly tell its size. They could not tell the parts of the body from one another. On the one hand, it looks like a plane tree, yet it did not have the aura of any source. A couple of systems that resembled 001 were leaning against the thing, not far away from where the hands were wriggling. After releasing the primary souls that they captured into the thing’s palms, the systems would turn and leave.

Looking around, Lonemoon realised there were countless little systems. They almost looked like a colony of ants, working in an anthill.
