206: The guesswork behind the system

Lin Chuping couldn't ignore what the System said.

As the saying goes, great people don't bother with trifles.

But another saying goes, success or failure is determined by details.

Just by the System's evasive manner, he knew it was lying.

Or rather, the System had only revealed part of the truth before.

And the point he truly cared about had been hidden.

Shift!

Lin Chuping had been too smooth since his Transmigration to another world.

When he first arrived in this world, the Dao of the gods was already in decline, and demons were rampant.

Because of the System, Lin Chuping naturally became the only god in this place.

Receiving incense offerings from people and helping them dispel disasters.

He happily counted the incense value, expanding his jurisdiction step by step, improving his strength, full of ambition, and sharpening his blade.

To this day, Great Yan is already completely under his jurisdiction, stably contributing 1 million incense value to him every day.

He has also initially brought the Netherworld and the Ten Thousand Mountains into his jurisdiction.

Progress has been rapid, and the future looks bright.

But now, his good luck seems to have come to an end.

Lin Chuping had a feeling that he really couldn't defeat this thing this time.

Even if he Cultivated for another year, it would be the same.

Lin Chuping got up and walked out of the temple; whenever he was annoyed, he wanted to smoke a couple of puffs.

Unfortunately, there was no tobacco here.

Under the moonlight, his shadow was stretched long, and a faint golden halo could vaguely be seen surrounding it.

"System,"

"You said this Little Sky Demon was 'let in', so the purpose of letting it in... is it related to me?"

The System's light screen flickered a few times, finally displaying a line of small text:

"Host's authority is insufficient to obtain this information."

Lin Chuping chuckled softly.

"Then it is related."

Lin Chuping stood on the stone steps in front of the temple, the night wind blowing his robes.

He gazed in the direction of the distant Ten Thousand Mountains, where an ominous, faint blue light was flickering.

"System, do you know what I hate most?"

He asked suddenly, his voice very light, yet carrying an undeniable chill.

The System's light screen appeared cautiously.

"Host...?"

"I hate this feeling of being manipulated."

Lin Chuping's fingers unconsciously rubbed the jade pendant at his waist.

"Three years ago, when I first came to this world, I swore to control my own destiny."

Under the moonlight, his eyes were dark and unreadable: "But now, I don't even know who my opponent is."

The System was silent for a moment: "Host, some things... might not be what you think."

"Have you ever considered that they might not be your opponents, but teammates?"

"System, what are you talking about? Ever since I grew up, I've never imagined such a good thing happening again."

In the adult world, there is no kindness without reason.

Something free inevitably comes with a greater price.

"Host, you can treat slaying the Little Sky Demon as a test. The Little Sky Demon is still dormant; if the Host hacks at it a few more times, it will always be useful."

The System felt a bit guilty. By saying this, it was practically showing its cards, and it wondered if the Host would understand its painstaking efforts.

Suppressing an existence like the Little Sky Demon was indeed a bit beyond the Host's current capabilities, but since those existences had let the Little Sky Demon in, it indicated that things were about to spiral out of control.

Its Host's current growth rate was no longer sufficient; he needed to be pushed to grow unnaturally fast.

Pitiable, lamentable.

Lin Chuping didn't notice the System's strange attitude; instead, he carefully weighed every word the System said.

This foolish System probably didn't realize it had inadvertently revealed so much information.

Based on the System's answers, Lin Chuping reasonably suspected that a group of so-called "teammates" were resisting the Extraterrestrial Demons, and he might have become an observation subject for these existences.

These existences would also periodically test his strength.
