Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

```

Golden-winged Peng Ancestral Land.

Secluded dwelling.

Inside a set of stairs.

Chu Yuan, somewhat translucent and enveloped in a golden light, was sitting there, hugging his knees, with an air of absolute dejection.

Behind him, the virtual image of the artificial intelligence 'Xiao Zhi' was floating.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi's face was filled with anxiety.

It was completely devoid of its usual impassive and rigid appearance.

"Host, the Human Race has said that victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and I hope the host will not be discouraged!"

"The world is not worth it."

"Host, Heaven helps those who help themselves, you have to believe in yourself, you will definitely succeed."

"To be born human, I am very sorry."

"Host, in the history of the Human Race, many people have failed repeatedly, but they all succeeded in the end!"

"You see light and think it is hope, thinking you can escape fate, but in the end, you find it's just a valley that echoes no sound..."

"... Host, could you speak normally, please? Failure is the mother of success!"

"Why struggle all your life for something that's not yours..."

Listening to Chu Yuan's strange and peculiar tone.

The virtual image of the artificial intelligence Xiao Zhi fell silent.

It felt somewhat crashed.

It didn't know where its host had picked up all these bizarre utterances.

As it listened, it felt as if it itself was starting to become odd.

Xiao Zhi looked at Chu Yuan squatting on the stairs and for a moment didn't know how to deal with it.

"Activate hidden mode..."

"Search for the complete template of Human Race communication information..."

Xiao Zhi silently requested the System's mode.

After a short while.

Some brightness appeared in its usually lifeless eyes.

The virtual image of Xiao Zhi slowly approached the step where Chu Yuan was sitting and sat down next to him.

"Child, you shouldn't be disheartened..."

These words came out from Xiao Zhi's mouth.

Chu Yuan: "?"

You must have some serious issues.

He was completely taken aback by this artificial intelligence's remark.

Sitting there dazed, he looked at the virtual image of Xiao Zhi.

This artificial intelligence...

Just spouting anything??

"You... you..."

Chu Yuan didn't know what to say.

"Host, is there something wrong? The artificial intelligence detected that the host's physical and mental health is not good, so it specially searched the complete template of Human Race communication information. Among the template, Xiao Zhi found that the words 'child' can best express a close relationship. Xiao Zhi thinks it is necessary to deepen the relationship between the System and the host, hence the use of this address."

Xiao Zhi displayed the glow of wisdom as it said this.

"Just destroy it, I'm tired."

Chu Yuan gave Xiao Zhi a glance and then bowed his head again.

"Host, you really can't give up. You still have the System supporting you. You haven't embarked on the strongest path yet. Have you forgotten your original intention?"

Xiao Zhi continued trying to encourage Chu Yuan's fighting spirit.

But Chu Yuan had completely lost his will to fight.

He felt the whole world had darkened.

"I think, the toughest part of life is not the perpetual inability to get what one desires, but to obtain it and then have it taken away."

Chu Yuan began voicing his net-induced depression again.

He remembered a time when he, too, was of the Nascent Soul Realm.

He, too, was an old Nascent Soul monster.

Now he had fallen so low that he didn't even have a soul anymore.

Truly, it was a peak at the start.

The more he struggled, the further back he went.

I cultivated from Nascent Soul to nothing at all?

"Host, wake up! You still have a chance!"

Xiao Zhi was worried.

"What chance is there when I don't even have a soul anymore? Besides, I am the master who can't even train a worthless disciple. Let's disband."

Chu Yuan glanced at Xiao Zhi and sighed again.

"Host, you still have a chance!"

"There's no chance left..."

"There still is!"

"Then you tell me, where is my chance?"

Chu Yuan asked Xiao Zhi, looking directly at it.

He had taught twelve disciples, each of whom had become successful.

It seemed like the entire world was mocking him.

```

Who will tell him if he still has any chances...

"Host..."

Xiao Zhi fell into thought.

As if pondering whether Chu Yuan still had any chances at all.

A moment passed.

Xiao Zhi spoke again.

"According to the System's check, if the host continues to teach disciples in the current method, the failure rate will be as high as ninety percent!"

Xiao Zhi's tone returned to its usual stiffness as he spoke.

"You know the failure rate is high? Then why do you still say there's a chance?"

Chu Yuan snorted with laughter.

Look.

Even the System admitted it; if he taught disciples, basically, they would all succeed.

Having him teach worthless disciples was way too difficult.

It was basically impossible.

"This..."

Xiao Zhi didn't know how to respond, as if he were stuck.

Seeing this scene.

Chu Yuan couldn't be bothered to say much, continuing to bow his head in despair.

It seemed he was already prepared to disband.

Without any hint of fear.

In Chu Yuan's view.

What was there to fear?

The most terrifying thing was nothing more than death.

And him? Technically, he had already "died" long ago.

His physical body was long gone.

Now, even his soul was gone.

Only a will that was almost no different from non-existent remained.

This was almost the same as being dead.

So, could he fear death?

You're joking, right?

"Artificial intelligence unable to serve host, automatically switching to backup service..."

After Xiao Zhi's virtual shadow said these words, it dissipated.

This left Chu Yuan, who was squatting beside it, stunned for a moment.

He thought something had happened.

The next moment, a deep blue screen appeared before him.

[System backup mode activated]

[Analyzing host's specific needs]

[Analysis successful, host unable to teach worthless disciples on his own, system officially initiates backup mode 'Teaching Mode']

[Teaching Mode: Within one year, the System will assist the host in accepting disciples and teaching them, with the goal of successfully mentoring worthless disciples, and hopes the host will study diligently]

[Teaching Mode activated, the host may initiate Teaching Mode at any time, System will automatically find disciples that can be taught]

Huh???

Chu Yuan was startled.

His gaze fixed on the system screen.

A million damns floated through his mind.

Teaching Mode?

The System directly mentoring worthless disciples?

There's such a good thing?

Could it be that he really still had hope?

"System, do the disciples taught by your Teaching Mode count towards me?"

Chu Yuan asked cautiously.

As he posed the question.

The deep blue screen rapidly cycled through some text.

[The host may decide on his own]

[Teaching Mode is mainly to instruct the host, the host can decide whether the disciples belong to the host or not]

[Note: Once the host chooses attribution, the host will need to assume subsequent responsibilities, please decide carefully]

Is this manna from heaven?

Such good luck has fallen into his lap?

With the System's help, wouldn't that mean he could achieve new realms simply by lying down?

This was way too good.

The previously disheartened Chu Yuan suddenly became ambitious once more.

Someone named Chu was not down yet!!

The old Chu could fight again!!

Someone named Chu was about to make a comeback!!!
