"I'm not uncomfortable at all. No one has any secrets from me. Never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway. Let's get down to business."
The young man threw away the empty bag of potato chips. The bag fell to the ground and instantly turned into dust, disappearing without a trace.
"Since you want to know who I am, I'll tell you so you won't overthink it."
The young man stood up, and a powerful aura rose from his body, causing Hao Yun to instantly fall to the ground.
What's going on? What's wrong with me?
Hao Yun was filled with questions, and his body trembled uncontrollably as an inexplicable fear engulfed him.
Chapter 127 Illusion
"Ahem, sorry, I think I overdid it a bit."
The young man gave an awkward smile, and his imposing aura instantly dissipated.
After getting up from the ground, Hao Yun had mixed feelings. He wasn't exactly angry, but he also felt a little uncomfortable.
"My name is Xu. I should be considered the first demon god to be born. When I was born, the world was like this, there was nothing, just emptiness."
"Because I was bored, I created the chaotic world."
The surrounding scenery changed, and a new substance appeared, though Hao Yun couldn't quite describe it.
"After creating the chaotic world, I was so tired that I took a nap. When I woke up, three thousand demon gods were born in this world, and at the same time, a big, dumb guy appeared, who is what you call Pangu."
"That guy is definitely out of his mind!"
At this point, the young man became somewhat agitated, and even the surrounding space began to shake. Hao Yun almost collapsed again, but fortunately, the young man managed to regain his composure in time.
"Sorry, I got a little emotional. I get angry just thinking about that big oaf! He's always talking about creating the world and changing the heavens, he just keeps going on and on, there's no way to communicate with him."
"How could I let him destroy the chaotic world that I had painstakingly created? So I wanted to talk to him, but who would have thought that he would pull out an axe and hit me."
"If I hadn't created the world and was in a weakened state, how could he have succeeded in ambushing me?"
"Because of his actions, he incurred the displeasure of all the demon gods. No matter what others said, he pretended not to hear them and eventually even fought with the other demon gods."
"As you know from the end, he took an axe and killed all the demons and gods, and then created the primordial world. However, his creation of the world failed. Only thirty percent of the chaotic world I created has turned into the primordial world."
The young man kept talking to himself, giving Hao Yun no chance to interject, which made him wonder if all three thousand demon gods were like this.
"Hey! What I'm about to tell you are all secrets that no one else knows. Since you don't like to hear them, don't blame me for not warning you later when you suffer the consequences."
"No, I quite like hearing about it. So what happened after the creation of the world?"
The person in front of him was a big shot, a figure from the same era as Pangu. Hao Yun immediately straightened his attitude and expressed that he really enjoyed listening.
"As you know from the beginning, the great war between the dragon, phoenix, and qilin, and the three races, was all orchestrated by the Demon Ancestor Rahu. He was one of the fallen demon gods, but he was lucky enough to be reborn with a wisp of his soul remaining."
"Of course, Hongjun was also reborn with him. He was a cunning old fox who lay low for many years, eventually killing Luo Hou and becoming the first saint."
"However, it seems that the shadow left by Pangu was too great. After he became a saint, he was afraid that others would surpass him, so he made up his mind to merge with the Heavenly Dao."
At this point, Xu burst into laughter, as if he had thought of something funny.
Hao Yun, who was completely baffled, had no idea what was so funny, but in front of the big shot, he still had to smile and keep up the smile. After all, it was a miracle that someone who knew so many secrets was still alive.
"That old schemer Hongjun never expected that the Heavenly Dao would trick him. All three thousand demon gods have left their marks on the Heavenly Dao. It won't be long before they are reborn and return."
"In order to prevent these demons from returning, Hongjun began to devise a plan to secretly erase the marks left by the demons."
"The so-called Hongjun preaching, the great war between the demon race and the witch race, and the Investiture of the Gods war were all his doing."
"However, the truth will eventually come out. You should know that among the three thousand demon gods, Hongjun was not the only one who survived. There was also Yangmei Ancestor, who realized that Hongjun was going to get him, so he exposed the matter."
"By the way, didn't you get a fragment of his body? That's a valuable item; it contains his insights into the laws of time."
"In order to resist Hongjun, many saints self-destructed together, directly destroying the primordial world and returning everything to nothingness."
After listening to Xu's explanation, Hao Yun frowned slightly and looked up at him.
"Curious why I didn't participate in the war?"
He gave a forced laugh but didn't explain, because he was too ashamed. Back then, Pangu had ambushed him and almost killed him with an axe.
He was seriously injured and still recovering when he realized that everyone was going to fight Hongjun to the death. It was too late to stop them.
After the great war, almost everything, including Hongjun and everything on the primordial continent, perished, leaving only fragments of the continent. These fragments were collected by Xu and transformed into the world we know today.
"You'll find out about this later. As for now, I'm the boss, and you're the employee. Right now, you're just working for me."
Working? Hao Yun didn't quite understand.
"That's right, it's just a job. The reason I called you here is to upgrade your system and explain your future work."
"The explosion of the Primordial Continent caused the three thousand Great Worlds and countless Small Worlds attached to the Primordial World to break free of control. Your current task is to bring these worlds back."
How do I find it?
Hao Yun was still in a daze, his mind filled with the secret history Xu had mentioned earlier.
"It's simple. With the system I install for you, you can continue to travel the world and provide me with your location."
Despite Xu's simple explanation, Hao Yun felt there was a trap involved. This was evident from the tasks previously assigned by the system; Xu was clearly unreliable.
"Ahem! I can hear what you're thinking."
Hao Yun slapped his forehead. This was really too uncomfortable. Even if he was unhappy, he couldn't secretly curse him.
"Have you found all the worlds I traveled through before?"
“That’s right, as long as you provide your location, I can find you.”
Hao Yun had a sudden thought and remembered something. The system allowed him to stay in the other world for thirty days each time he transmigrated. In other words, as long as he stayed in the other world for thirty days, the void could locate him.
"You're wrong, it's not as easy as you think."
He shrugged and continued.
"If it's a minor world, I can basically locate you once you arrive. But it's different for middle and major worlds. Over the years, these worlds have developed their own Heavenly Dao wills and simply don't want me to find them."
"Why?"
"Of course I'm afraid of death. If I'm brought back to this world, the will of Heaven will be devoured by the Heavenly Dao of that world. If it were you, would you want to be brought back?"
Uh! No, I'm not willing. After all, no one wants to die.
"Then why don't you go?"
"Because I am too strong, the Heavenly Dao of the other side will sense my presence and will hide after discovering my existence."
This explanation was so powerful that Hao Yun was speechless.
"Then why don't you find more people to search the world?"
"We searched, but those bastards never came back. They're all stuck in some other world and won't come out!"
Holy crap! There's such a thing? That's too outrageous.
"Don't even think about it. The system has been improved and the bugs have been fixed."
Chapter 128 System Update
Hao Yun expressed his regret that BIG was fixed, but he could understand the thoughts of those time travelers.
After all, once you've stayed in one world for a long time, you simply don't want to leave. Plus, you have a cheat code that allows you to easily obtain both money and power.
Why come back when you're having such a great time? It's such a hassle.
"The system update is complete. From now on, you will receive a certain number of points after each world recycling event. These points can be exchanged for items in the shop. As for the reward option, I have already canceled it."
"Any other questions? If not, we'll take you back."
Before Hao Yun could answer, Xu continued.
"Since there are no problems, let's go."
In a flash, Hao Yun was thrown back into the main world—yes, thrown out, tossed out like trash by the phantom.
After calming himself down, Hao Yun silently raised his middle finger.
Opening the system, it's no different from before, except for the addition of a shopping mall option. The items in the mall are divided into three main categories.
Magical artifacts, cultivation techniques, and miscellaneous items.
The items displayed at the top are the most expensive, and each one requires over 100 million points.
In the shop, Hao Yun found the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, priced at 100,000 points, and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques, priced at 300,000 points.
This shows just how worthless these two techniques are in the eyes of the big shots.
Hao Yun really wanted to complain. Why did you make it so complicated? Everything is yours. If I need something, you can just give it to me directly.
After closing the online store, Hao Yun unexpectedly discovered a new call function at the bottom of the system interface. Of course, there was only one person in the contacts: Xu.
As for the note, it's just two words: Boss.
"Even if I am a transmigrator working for someone else, I don't have to be so obvious about it."
Muttering to himself, Hao Yun clicked on the communication button. He really did have something to ask Xu. Before, he had been the one doing all the talking, and Hao Yun, who was completely confused, couldn't keep up and forgot to ask many questions.
"You just got back and you already need to see me?"
A vague voice appeared in his mind, and Hao Yun asked the question directly.
"What's with that danger prediction? Where did the unidentified creatures that appeared before come from?"
"I had almost forgotten about this. They were spies sent from another world, with the same goal as me: to collect information about the world and make their own world stronger."
"Can't it be blocked?"
"Why should I block them? They're offering me a gift, should I just turn them away?"
This explanation sounds reasonable at first glance, but Hao Yun is not happy about it. What if a powerful opponent comes along and he fights with them? He estimates that if he exerts even a little force, Earth-kun will be killed.
Previously, Hao Yun Jinxian's strength was enough to easily destroy this planet, let alone now.
"Blocking it is fine, one million points. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
