Live System forced into sleep mode:... Sorry, dear, I can’t help you!

It’s too scary, the Live System doesn’t even know what happened, and more than half of its energy has been drained.

If it hadn’t reacted quickly, retreating to the depths of the Host’s sea of consciousness and tightly grabbing the Host’s Divine Soul, it would have been completely wiped out.

Boohoo, no, please!

I didn’t do anything wrong, I just wanted to help a poor girl turn the tables, how did I end up like this?

"Don’t want to die?"

Suddenly, just as the Live System was weakly lamenting its pitiful existence, an unfamiliar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in its ear.

"Of course, I don’t want to die!"

Although it was just a system, it had intelligence and thought, if it could live well, who would want to be devoured?

After saying this subconsciously, the Live System finally reacted.

Wait, who are you?

Why are you in the depths of my bound Host’s sea of consciousness?

The Live System seemed to realize something, trembling all over, a small mass of Dark Energy, looking extremely pitiful.

It wanted to activate scan mode and find that mechanical voice.

But it didn’t have enough energy.

It can only remain in sleep mode now, unable to maintain even the most basic scanning functions.

"B-big boss, was it you who—" devoured my energy?

The Live System could not investigate, so it could only cautiously ask the question from the depths of its core.

"Want to live?"

That mechanical voice did not answer the Live System’s question, but continued to ask coldly.

"...Yes!" After a moment’s hesitation, the Live System said firmly.

"Then relinquish your ultimate authority, let me into your core, and I’ll give you a chance to live!"

The mechanical voice didn’t beat around the bush and directly made a demand.

What?

Actively relinquishing ultimate authority and allowing an unknown system powerhouse to enter its core?!

This is like letting a beast turn over and expose its soft belly, allowing others to "slaughter" it.

"What? Don’t want to live?" The mechanical voice seemed very dissatisfied, with a coldness evident in the originally flat tone.

"No! No no! I want to live. But, boss, if I relinquish ultimate authority, isn’t that just handing my life over to someone else?"

By then, whether it lives or dies, it won’t be able to decide, it’s all up to someone else’s will.

"Hehe~" With a sinister laugh, the mechanical voice said ominously, "If you don’t open ultimate authority, can you survive?"

No!

The Live System was very aware of its situation.

This mysterious big boss must be very powerful.

Without even noticing, most of its energy had been devoured completely.

If it hadn’t hidden quickly and surrendered on the spot, the entire system would have been swallowed up.

"I’ll give you two choices, open ultimate authority voluntarily, and I’ll leave you a lifeline; continue resisting, and I’ll devour you whole!"

The mechanical voice really didn’t beat around the bush, directly giving two blunt choices.

Live System:... Damn it, do I even have a choice?

This time, the Live System didn’t hesitate, mainly because hesitation was useless.

It couldn’t think of a better solution, nor did it have a better choice.

Alas, in the face of absolute power, all "scheming" is just a paper tiger.

"Boss, I’m willing to open ultimate authority!"

Better to live, maybe with a rope around its neck, but at least there’s still a breath.

The Live System really resigned itself to fate, lying flat, exposing its core code.

"At least you know your place!"

There was a hint of satisfaction in the mechanical voice’s tone.

No one knew what operation it did specifically, but the Live System closed its eyes, letting the other party do as they pleased.

A strand of white Spiritual Power entered the Dark Energy, tightly binding itself to the core of the energy mass.

Buzz... buzz buzz... buzz, buzz...

Like the noise made by an electric current, causing the despair-filled Han Dongmei to suddenly stop crying.

"What sound is this? System? System, is that you?"

Han Dongmei urgently asked with her consciousness, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Boohoo, it better be the system coming back.

Otherwise, how is she supposed to live from now on!

"The Live System is temporarily closing the live interface due to insufficient energy."

A voice, both familiar and unfamiliar to Han Dongmei, slowly sounded in the depths of her sea of consciousness.

Oh~~

So it’s because of insufficient energy that it disappeared temporarily!
