Xuan Mie made this point, and the three exchanged glances, finding it quite reasonable.
In the Lost Land, it simply meant that they could not monitor in real time.
But could a chosen piece really escape their control?
They didn’t believe Shi Nian would stay in the Lost Land forever.
Once she emerged, it would naturally be their time to reap the rewards.
"Let’s do that," the three reached a consensus.
Xuan Mie manipulated something, and two light orbs appeared in the palm of his hand; he directly threw the two orbs towards the Lost Land.
These two light orbs would autonomously seek suitable hosts.
Then, their guiding energy would lead them to Shi Nian.
In the past, they made a grave mistake before they knew Shi Nian’s identity.
That was always trying to oppose her.
In the minor worlds, those protagonists were basically on the opposite side to her.
But no matter how many protagonists there were, facing the real Heavenly Dao, they were no match. Latest content publıshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
So this time, they changed their strategy.
This time, the people they chose would try to get close to Shi Nian and become her dear friends!
They had studied the matter.
After reincarnating through Heavenly Dao, it seemed she lost her previous ruthless nature and instead became very emotional like humans.
That could be inferred from the descriptions of her given by the cultivators who came from the Lower Realm.
Having human emotions means having vulnerabilities!
If their chess piece could hitch a ride on this, perhaps they could help them complete the final step.
In the future, by absorbing the chess piece, they could ascend to godhood in one step, truly seizing back the Divine Position! Moreover, this Divine Position would be achieved with the help of Heavenly Dao itself; just thinking about it felt exhilarating.
The three of them had already begun to fantasize about a beautiful future, when the two light orbs were already flying towards the Lost Land.
In the direction Qing Yi and Lin Lei were advancing.
The two orbs smashed down suddenly, creating two large meteorite craters ahead.
Qing Yi and Lin Lei were both stunned.
"Don’t anyone move," Qing Yi quickly told her younger brothers and sisters to back away, then she and Lin Lei, in tacit understanding, each approached a crater, carefully investigating.
In the void, Shi Nian couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
What exactly are these two craters?
Has some kind-hearted person provided these two losers with a Golden Finger?
She already didn’t want to worry about these two losers anymore.
Qing Yi quickly made her way to the edge of the crater.
No sooner had she peered in, a streak of light instantly entered her body.
A mechanical voice echoed in Qing Yi’s mind.
"The Affinity System has been bound."
Shi Nian listening to the recount by Little System: "???"
Isn’t that Yin Yu’s system thing?
Wasn’t the system already absorbed?
It seems that this system is not the only one.
Shi Nian couldn’t help but raise her eyebrow again, this time, did this damn system choose Qing Yi as the host?
This also proves that her previous guess about there being multiple behind-the-scenes manipulators was absolutely correct.
Perhaps one of these behind-the-scenes manipulators made a move, possibly aiming to destroy Qing Yi, this child of destiny?
Imagine, with the help of the system, Qing Yi struggles to cultivate to the Supreme Realm, then suddenly, the person behind the scenes appears to harvest the fruit, turning Qing Yi into a complete tool-person.
"Little System. Can you control this system?" Shi Nian asked.
The little system haughtily declared, "Of course. In the system industry, every system that meets me must call me Big Boss!"
Shi Nian further inquired, "What if the person behind the scenes wants to retrieve the system and drain Qing Yi dry?"
The little system chuckled coldly, "When that time comes, I’ll just absorb that system, and we’ll see how it tries to drain Qing Yi dry! Host, just give the word, and I’ll absorb that thing right now."
Shi Nian’s gaze flickered, but then she smiled, "Absorb it now? What’s the rush? This is like someone rushing to cultivate a capable subordinate for me, I should be thanking them!"
This system will ultimately drain the host, but before the final step, it truly grants quite a few benefits.
How wonderful is this setting where you can become stronger just by brushing up on your affinity!
With this system, won’t Qing Yi’s strength increase at a much faster rate?
The system on Qing Yi’s end had just been bound.
Meanwhile, a change had also occurred where Lin Lei was.
He had just walked over when a red gas directly entered his body.
Whatever this thing was, it made the bloodlines in Lin Lei’s body boil.
This feeling was somewhat painful, and Lin Lei started cultivating uncontrollably in a seated position.
"Little system, what is this?" Shi Nian couldn’t help but ask.
The little system conducted a check and was once again at a loss for words.
"This gas is Original Demonic Energy! Once this Original Demonic Energy is fully absorbed, he will become a half-demon, half-human being! Half-demon, half-human, yet possessing the top talent of both the Demon Clan and Human Clan, merging the two will naturally result in an astonishing cultivation speed."
Original Demonic Energy.
This is yet another move by someone pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
And naturally, the reason why the two "Golden Fingers" appeared beside Lin Lei and Qing Yi was due to the entity that had encroached upon the Heavenly Dao.
The three great puppeteers behind the curtains have been assembled just like that.
They do possess some capacity.
Having Golden Fingers choose Qing Yi and Lin Lei is definitely most advantageous for them.
If nothing unexpected happens, these two are destined to become Immortal Venerate level experts in the future. Once they have cultivated up to that point, the puppeteer can appear and take away all their cultivation achievements via the Golden Fingers.
If they manage to pull it off, they could very well soar to the skies in one step.
It just so happens that all this has been stumbled upon by her.
And it just so happens, the little system is the nemesis of all other systems.
Although these puppeteers are enormously powerful, they seem to have not accounted for the existence of the little system.
That’s also quite normal.
The Immortal World and the Human World have their natural barriers. When she first destroyed the Heavenly Dao of the small world, she did it decisively and cleanly, without giving it any chance to flee or send a message.
So, although these individuals may have learned some things about her through various channels, those are merely what she has shown outwardly, while the existence of the little system has always been a secret from beginning to end.
Thinking of this, Shi Nian’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
If there is anyone who might have noticed something amiss, it would most definitely be the junior uncle.
If the junior uncle’s memories were read, that entity who summoned the junior uncle’s original body might sense something. But at most, it would just be some speculation, without any concrete evidence.
Moreover, Shi Nian always felt that the junior uncle’s original body was not associated with those backroom manipulators.
Though all of these may be opponents she has to face, opponents do differ from one another.
Those puppeteers behind the scenes had caused living beings to suffer and the world to fall into chaos; if she’s capable, Shi Nian does not intend to let them off.
That original body, if it agrees to let her take the junior uncle away, then their grudges could be considered settled, and there’s no need to fight to the death.
As Shi Nian pondered all this, Lin Lei had already temporarily absorbed the Original Magic Power, but a trace of fear still lingered on his face.
When that thing entered his body just now, he experienced extreme pain. If it weren’t for his relatively strong willpower, he would have probably been torn apart by it already.
"Little Stone, are you okay?"
"I’m fine." Lin Lei couldn’t help but shake his head.
He truly was fine now.
It felt extremely painful when he was absorbing it, but now he felt rather empowered.
But suddenly encountering such an event had thrown both Qing Yi and Lin Lei into a bit of a panic.
They subconsciously looked towards the void.
Shi Nian sighed, emerging from the void.
