When system cheat becomes rampant!

He looked at Xiang Beifei with much gentler eyes, "What is your name?"

Daoist Qingde was his junior brother, and in a way, he was also Xiang Beifei's grandmaster.

"Xiang Beifei."

Xiang Beifei wrote his name in mid-air.

"That's an interesting name," Daoist Qingyang smiled.

"Then, Daoist Qingde... what did Grandfather do to me?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"He didn't tell you?"

"He had an accident, I don't know why, though he had already stepped into the Immortal Realm, he still lost his memory," Xiang Beifei said.

"Memory loss?"

Daoist Qingyang furrowed his brows, appearing to ponder the beginning and end of the matter, then shook his head and said, "I do not know of future events, I can only speculate that some existence in the Edge Corner Airspace helped Daoist Qingde, allowing you to intervene in this world in a special way, preserving the Human Race. This led to the paradoxical result where the Human Race was already extinct, unable to continue, yet there is your existence, returning to the past to prolong the Human Race."

But Xiang Beifei still could not understand the process.

Daoist Qingyang shifted his gaze toward the north, his eyes clouded with a mist, murmuring, "He probably still hoped that the Human Race would continue."

"Who is he?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Daoist Qingyang started coughing violently, his complexion grew paler, the vitality in his body gradually fading away, enveloped by a layer of Yin energy, a consequence of burning Yang.

"He is an existence we all look up to."

The Yin energy around him grew heavier, and his voice weakened further.

Xiang Beifei's expression became solemn.

Daoist Qingyang, being a cultivator of the Immortal Realm, possessed terrifying strength. What kind of existence could it be that even such a person looked up to?

Regaining his composure, Daoist Qingyang asked, "Why is your cultivation only at the late stage of orifice transforming?"

"I have only been cultivating for less than three years."

"But your strength shouldn't be limited to this," Daoist Qingyang shook his head.

"I don't know how to step into the Heavenly Connection, Grandfather once told me that Heavenly Connection is meeting heaven and earth, to comprehend the laws between heaven and earth, to find one's own path, but I can't understand it," Xiang Beifei said.

"You don't need to comprehend the Dao," Daoist Qingyang spoke.

"But Grandfather said..."

"Haven't you wondered what a Dao embryo is?" Daoist Qingyang said calmly.

Xiang Beifei hesitated, he indeed had a vague guess in his heart.

"Is it the system that every person from Jiuzhou has?"

That was the only explanation.

If Jiuzhou is the continuation of the Hanxia Human Race, then the Dao embryo that Daoist Qingde took must act on humans in a very special way.

"I don't know what this 'system' you speak of is, perhaps the junior brother modified the Dao embryo, letting the Dao embryo exist in another way, allowing everyone to possess a Dao embryo, giving everyone the ability to protect themselves—however, I can be fairly certain of one thing, you can intervene in everyone's system, can you?" Daoist Qingyang spoke.

Xiang Beifei's eyes brightened.

"Yes." He didn't deny it.

"That's it then," Daoist Qingyang coughed again, his chest heaving continuously, and said, "A Taoist Body can control all Dao embryos. So you don't need to comprehend the Dao…"

Daoist Qingyang coughed violently again, coughing for a long time before slowly saying, "Because you yourself are the Dao."

Xiang Beifei was slightly taken aback!

"You will understand."

Daoist Qingyang looked at Xiang Beifei kindly, as if looking at his own child, his eyes filled with satisfaction and gratitude, yet his aura was nearly that of a lamp running out of oil.

"Where does the Dao embryo come from?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"It comes from Edge Corner Airspace. The Human Race is a race favored by the heavens, which gave us the capital to cultivate, but it has also aroused the envy of the Yi Tribe. The Human Race is declining, having had most of their Dao embryos taken away by them, transforming the Dao embryos into their own power..."

Daoist Qingyang looked at the ruins before him and said, "You will find that many races try hard to resemble Humans, because the Human body structure is the most suitable among all for cultivation. The Moon God Race originally didn't look human, but they can disguise themselves as humans because they use the Netherworld Water to devour Humans, relying on the Human body to cultivate—the same goes for the Demon Tentacle Race."

"Today, countless Humans are being killed, countless Dao embryos taken away. Even if I were to kill all the people, I could not reclaim the Dao embryos. Those Dao embryos have all been sacrificed to the Netherworld River, and they will still return..."

Daoist Qingyang looked at Xiang Beifei and said, "But you can control all Dao embryos, including those of the Yi Tribe. Once you enter Heavenly Connection, you will understand how to deal with those Yi Tribes, just like managing those systems. Make good use of this ability."

Daoist Qingyang was coughing, and he had completely lost his complexion, "I can't hold on any longer. I've sealed the last bit of my life force in a stone ring, always waiting for your arrival. Be careful, I killed the Demon King, but the Eternal Night Demon King has made a pact with the Netherworld. Even if it's severely weakened, it will be resurrected and target Jiuzhou again to seize the Dao embryos of the Human Race. To completely kill the Eternal Night Demon King, the Netherworld must be destroyed..."

The voice of Daoist Qingyang grew weaker and weaker, and the scenery around began to shake.

He strained to point his finger; a ray of light flowed from his fingertip towards Xiang Beifei, entering his mind.

"Child, these are Burning Yang and Burning Yin, two completely different Cultivation Techniques. I am not a Taoist Body; fully unleashing either Burning Yang or Burning Yin will backfire on me, but you are different. How you should cultivate, you will have to explore it yourself. You are the grandchild of Daoist Qingde and my junior; consider this a meeting gift from me, and thank you for saving mankind. If possible, please take my remains to the place where you grew up, to see it one last time."

"Senior, I will bring you back to Jiuzhou!" Xiang Beifei said.

"Thank you..."

The voice of Daoist Qingyang gradually faded away, followed by everything around him aging rapidly, and various strange lights flowed like shooting stars, the sky changing continuously, numerous shadows wandering around.

By the time Xiang Beifei regained his senses, he was still standing on the Floating Immortal Isles.

But differently, there were two pale moons hanging in the sky.

He had returned from the past, back in the wilderness outside the domain, back to the desert after more than three thousand years.

Xiang Beifei silently looked at the skeletal remains of Daoist Qingyang, a wave of sorrow suddenly emerging in his heart.

Daoist Qingyang said Xiang Beifei was key to the continuation of the Human Race, but Xiang Beifei knew well that it was Daoist Qingyang who had single-handedly saved the entire Hanxia Human Race from calamity.

To preserve the hope of the Human Race, he stayed behind alone, transported all the humans away, unleashed Burning Yang, annihilated all enemies, and made it impossible for the Yi Tribe to pursue, yet exhausted his last ounce of life.

Xiang Beifei looked at the skeleton, then knelt down after a moment and performed a junior's bow to Daoist Qingyang.

In any case, Daoist Qingyang deserved this bow.

Inside the stone ring was a faint flame, flickering like a dying candle, almost about to go out.

It was the life force of Daoist Qingyang, now nearing its end.

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but extend a hand and attach his own Spiritual Power to it, in an attempt to guide that flickering flame from Daoist Qingyang, then he took out the stone tower from the Wei Constellation.

Each layer of this tower pulsated with flames; although he hadn't entirely figured out the tower, he realized it had its special properties that could ensure the flame's longevity. He decided to store the remaining life force of Daoist Qingyang back in the tower to see if it could protect this weak flame.

Unable to save Daoist Qingyang, he could only hope that Daoist Qingyang's life force could continue burning in a special way.

This time, when he touched the stone ring embedded in Daoist Qingyang's skeleton again, the ring didn't react; he wasn't transported to the past again. Daoist Qingyang had been maintaining the last bit of energy on this stone ring, and as the life force disappeared, the power of the ring also exhausted.

Xiang Beifei removed the stone ring, looking at this jade-white skeleton, and carefully collected it.

He would take Daoist Qingyang's remains back to Jiuzhou, bury Daoist Qingyang at the highest place in Jiuzhou, letting him see how the civilization of Hanxia continued in Jiuzhou, as a comfort to him in his old age.
