229: Chapter 229 System, Ancient Emperor?

In an instant, a phantom of the Camel Demon Lion stood tall, reaching for the heavens, shattering illusions and gathering demons, its majestic presence awe-inspiring to heaven and earth!

"Although I am a System, I should always maintain an aloof persona to complete this game that is destined to have no end."

"But who told you, as the host, to be so unexpectedly incompetent?"

From deep within Gu Qingge's Sea of Consciousness, the "System" instantly switched to battle mode.

The words spoken here were thunderous, as if suppressing the brilliance of the sun and moon!

With the "System's" appearance, its Aura spread out, instantly intimidating the few people who were sharpening their blades.

"This... is this the Aura of an Ancient Emperor?!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could a junior as humble as an ant possess such a powerful existence as an assistant?"

"Fight or flee, what do you all think?"

Seeing the dismal reaction of the people opposite, as if they had been swept away by a flood, Gu Qingge's expression revealed a mix of shock, joy, and suspicion.

He was shocked because he had never imagined in his wildest dreams that the "System" possessed such overwhelming combat power.

He was joyful because, at the very least, he had temporarily overcome this crisis and would not fall into the hands of this group of vicious people.

Otherwise, the outcome would be imaginable.

He was suspicious because the other party had been pretending to be the System for so long; his secrets had likely already been thoroughly probed.

If it harbored any ill intentions, he would be in a hopeless situation with no power to resist.

He did not believe that the power he had briefly summoned through his Heavenly Demon Emperor Body, which did not belong to him at all, could contend with a semi-complete Emperor Realm powerhouse.

Moreover, he had a feeling.

This lion Soul was far stronger than the "Emperor Dan" from whom he had originally obtained his Legacy!

"Do you still wish to put up meaningless resistance?"

The lion Soul ignored Gu Qingge's thoughts and doubts, looked at the people around, frowned slightly, and let out a cold snort.

The next second, without any skill wind-up, it started directly with a skill as if it were a basic attack.

"Demonic Martial Arts Suppress the World!"

The phantom of the demonic lion exuded an Aura of endless sinking years, suppressing with majestic power, surging like violent waves, sweeping across the eight wildernesses!

"Oh-ho-ho-ho..."

In this moment of crisis, there was a faint look of melancholy in the eyes of the Blood Corpse Maiden.

At this moment, she was frozen like a cold, picturesque peerless True Immortal, descending into the mortal world, sinking into the three thousand emotional paths of greed, anger, ignorance, and delusion.

"Bastard, when did this ghost woman learn the Chaotic Prison Demonic Technique?" the Venerable You in the distance said in shock and anger.

This was because he knew that once the Blood Corpse Maiden's Chaotic Prison Demonic Technique was activated, it would not distinguish between friend or foe; everyone would be within the range of the Chaotic Prison Soul Suppression.

"Retreat!"

But when he wanted to exert his Spiritual Qi to the fullest, he found that the others had already scattered and fled.

Even the Blood Corpse Maiden, who had clearly used her ultimate move just now with the intent to bury all living beings and perish together, was no exception.

That wave was not a full-force attack to kill the enemy.

It was clearly meant to stir up the muddy waters, providing sufficient cover for her escape.

Even Sword Saint Canglan, who was controlling Li He's body, was no exception, only regretting that Li He's parents hadn't given him two extra legs.

After all, in the current chaos, being targeted by an Ancient Emperor meant certain death.

The Emperor's prestige cannot be touched; to touch it is to die!

The Emperor's momentum cannot be insulted; to insult it is to perish!

Even if it was just a remnant Soul.

As long as one breath remained, it was the most powerful existence among the three thousand continents.

Clearly, these people had made the wisest choice at the first Opportunity.

But coming here was already the most unwise journey of their lives.

"Are you afraid of me?"

The lion Soul did not hesitate much and went straight to intercept one person in the extreme north.

"What the f*ck..."

"There are so many people here, why do you have to keep your eyes on me!"

Venerable You's eyes widened, his appearance looking exactly like a clown on stage.

Where was the Venerable You who stood tall, with a momentum as wild as a tornado and as grand as the long river of time?

Facing the restraint of the lion Soul, he was almost scared to the point of peeing his pants.

Had he known that exploring this Secret Realm could be so dangerous, even if he were given a hundred times the courage, he would never have set foot in it.

The Emperor Realm was an insurmountable chasm.

Even at the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, compared to the former, one was still a weakling who could hardly reach that level.

"I, I am willing to surrender and become your most loyal subordinate, oh no, slave!" Venerable You begged incessantly.

"To be honest, I appreciate ants who know the current circumstances."

"If it were back in the day, I would have placed a slave brand on you to make you a sycophantic cannon fodder that could be driven."

"It is a pity that times have changed."

The lion Soul opened its bloody mouth, and with one breath, the powerful Venerable You was swallowed directly into its Soul body and refined in an instant.

After finishing all this, the lion Soul did not continue to hunt down the others, but instead turned into a ray of blood light and hid back in Gu Qingge's Sea of Consciousness.

"Are you not curious why I didn't kill them all here?" the System's voice sounded again.

"Not curious," Gu Qingge said without any hesitation.

"Tch, incompetent host."

Invisibly, it watched Gu Qingge's comical appearance, where he showed no fear on the surface but was incredibly terrified underneath.

In an instant, a phantom Soul figure in a dragon-patterned blood robe appeared.

Although the specific features could not be seen, everything was tightly covered by that robe.

But this was the System itself.

"My title back then was the Blood Sea Emperor."

"My real name is Camel Demon Lion."

"You may respectfully address me as—Elder Lion."

"The title Elder Lion is too inconsistent with your temperament. I have drifted for half my life, only regretting that I have not met a wise master. If you do not abandon me now..."

The next second, Gu Qingge directly performed a sliding kneel and approached, emphasizing the ability to bend and stretch.

"What, using a halberd to imitate the ancients and specifically stab your foster father? Besides... Hmph!"

"I have never owed anyone anything in my life. Since I have emerged now, I naturally have my own intentions."

Since the other party was a native of another world, yet happened to understand the so-called System product.

Then there was only one possibility...

Soul-searching.

In other words, this remnant Soul had definitely, by chance, performed Soul-searching on those transmigrators who carried the 'unlucky' attribute, viewing their memories.

Hiss—!

At this thought, Gu Qingge felt a chill shooting up his back.

If the other party had ill intentions towards him, wouldn't he be the next prey to suffer?

"Elder Lion, I agree."

"I haven't said what I want to do yet, and you agree? You don't need to hold out until the beauty trap?"

"No need!" Gu Qingge said firmly.

There is a saying in Blue Star: those who know the current circumstances are heroes, while those who do not are buried underground as ginseng.

He, a hero of the current era, how could he not comply?

Gu Qingge had a question in his heart: how did Elder Lion think of disguising himself as the System?

As if seeing through Gu Qingge's little thoughts, Camel Demon Lion cleared his throat, transforming into a mentor to answer his questions.

"When I was young, I encountered a few strange people, or perhaps according to their words, they were extraterrestrial demons who had transmigrated their Souls to another world."

"They shouted about emperors and glory. When I heard the name contained 'Emperor' and they were unknown existences, how could I hesitate? I grabbed the person, and before I even had time to study them carefully, I instantly performed Soul-searching and refined them."

"And things like 'The Overbearing Saint Venerable fell in love with me, after we broke up, I want to take half his cultivation'."

"The heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing the river! This cultivation world is just a strange, chaotic, and weird circle."
