161: Life Choice System

[Ding, reminding Host, the emotion lottery system has refreshed. A new System has arrived. Please check it, Host.]

[life choice system.]

[Host is now facing the first major life choice. Please make a selection.]

[Option 1: In this era of great conflict, the Demon God Clan is about to invade Tianyuan. This is a precursor to the apocalypse. Host continues to hide in the Taichu Holy Land, eating, sleeping, cultivating, and reading books, entering the Tianqi Continent to lead a flat-lying lifestyle. No matter the blood and gore outside, what does it have to do with me? Reward: Title "Ninja Turtle," Reward: Indestructible Vajra Body.]

"Damn."

"System, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? The first half was fine, but what's with the second half? Ninja Turtle? Who are you trying to insult?"

"Is it wrong for me to like lying flat? You're forcing me not to choose this option."

Li Changsheng decided. Ninja Turtle it is. Who told him he liked lying flat? Besides, this Indestructible Vajra Body isn't bad either; at least his defense would be invincible.

But he should check the other options first.

[Option 2: Leave the Primordial Immortal Sect, stop the descent of the Demon Gods, and kill them. For every Demon God killed, you receive one reward opportunity. Additionally, Reward: Title "Supreme Life," and obtain the Method for Condensing Immortal Slaying Sword Intent.]

Holy crap.

Li Changsheng suddenly jumped up.

"System, you really are doing this on purpose."

Option 1 was indeed quite tempting. Aside from that unacceptable Ninja Turtle title, everything else was to his liking. Yet, Option 2 was just too damn good.

He possessed the immortal slaying sword.

And he could use it.

However.

This immortal slaying sword was not like the nine-nine soul scattering gourd or the Five Elements Flags.

Those were passive Innate Spirit Treasures that could be used.

But this immortal slaying sword was an active innate supreme treasure. If he tried to use it now, not only would he fail to unleash even one percent of its power, but it would also instantly drain all the energy in his body, making it hard to even move.

But if he cultivated this Method for Condensing Immortal Slaying Sword Intent, he could condense the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent in advance. When using the sword, he could substitute it with the Sword Intent.

Furthermore, according to the hints he received...

...he could also convert the Slaughter Power within his body into Immortal Slaying Sword Intent.

At this moment, he had a full two million strands of Slaughter Power, which could be converted into over two hundred strands of Immortal Slaying Sword Intent.

Even if he went all out, a hundred or so strands of Immortal Slaying Sword Intent could unleash one percent of the sword's full power. A single strand would be one-ten-thousandth of its power.

This was the mortal realm.

Even one-ten-thousandth of its power would be enough to completely destroy the Tianyuan World.

Unless it was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would lose a layer of skin, if not die, when facing one-ten-thousandth of the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent.

"System, you win."

Li Changsheng sighed.

His days of lying flat were over.

That's fine too.

Come to think of it, he had been in this Tianyuan World for many years and hadn't gone out to see the world yet.

Might as well go out for a stroll.

Anyway, it was only for a year. Once the year was up and the new System refreshed, he could just come back and lie flat again. Besides, with the Demon God invasion, the Tianyuan World was bound to be filled with blood and gore. If he ignored worldly affairs, how could he lie flat in peace? Since that was the case, he might as well take a trip and crush the Demon Gods' arrogance, letting them know that Li Changsheng existed in the Tianyuan World.

That way, he could lie flat even better when he returned.

"I choose Option 2."

[Congratulations to Host for making a choice. The Method for Condensing Immortal Slaying Sword Intent has been distributed.]

Three days passed in a flash.

Li Changsheng had completely converted the Slaughter Power in his body into Immortal Slaying Sword Intent, exactly over two hundred strands.

Setting everything else aside, with just this Immortal Slaying Sword Intent, he could be invincible across the world.

One strand of Immortal Slaying Sword Intent was one-ten-thousandth of the sword's intent and was irreversible. Unlike Slaughter Power, which would still exist.

But this time, he was going out specifically to kill, so he could just replenish it.

Early in the morning.

Li Changsheng gathered Ji Lingyue, Zhang Wangu, and Shang Li to announce the news.

"What? Senior Brother, you want to travel the world?" Ji Lingyue was dumbfounded.

Li Changsheng said irritably, "What's with that expression? What, you think I shouldn't go travel the world?"

Ji Lingyue quickly shook her head. "Senior Brother, you misunderstand. I didn't mean that. I meant—pfft."

"Forget it, I'll stop pretending. What I meant was, why would you suddenly decide to go travel the world? Isn't it better to just lie flat, Senior Brother? I think it's best if you stay and lie flat."

Zhang Wangu and Shang Li actually nodded in unison.

They clearly agreed with Ji Lingyue's words.

This made Li Changsheng so angry that his expression became awkward. He snorted, "You guys are looking down on me! Fine, if you say I'm not qualified to travel the world, then I'll show you. As for the duration, let's set it for one year."

"I called you here for two purposes. First, to tell you this news. Second, to ask if any of you are willing to travel the world with me."

To his surprise, all three shook their heads together. Ji Lingyue sighed, "Senior Brother, I'd better stay and Cultivate. My cultivation is too low; going out would only make me a burden to you."

"Hmm, that makes sense," Li Changsheng nodded.

His gaze turned to Zhang Wangu and Shang Li.

Zhang Wangu said, "Kid, don't look at me. I've lived for thousands of years and seen it all. I'd better work hard on my cultivation. I'm about to face the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation soon. Speaking of which, it's thanks to you; otherwise, I would have needed another hundred years, and I wouldn't even know if I could pass it smoothly."

Zhang Wangu felt heartfelt gratitude toward Li Changsheng.

"Back then, you said you would ensure I passed the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."

Li Changsheng waved his hand. "That's easy."

In the next moment.

A great emperor magic treasure appeared before Zhang Wangu's eyes.

This was the Vajra Pestle, a treasure refined through both Buddhist and Daoist methods, obtained from the emotion lottery.

Its greatest function was defense, capable of casting a protective golden light to withstand heavenly thunder.

Zhang Wangu took the Vajra Pestle and immediately realized its power. Overjoyed, he said excitedly, "Thank you, My Lord."

Li Changsheng waved his hand. "Don't thank me. Like I said, this is what I promised."

"Shang Li, what about you? Do you want to come with me?" Li Changsheng turned to Shang Li.

Shang Li gave a wry smile and shook his head. "My Lord, I think I'll pass as well."

Li Changsheng was speechless. "Fine, a bunch of ungrateful things. If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll go by myself. Farewell."

With that, he headed down the mountain alone with his sword.

Watching Li Changsheng's departing figure, Zhang Wangu and Shang Li looked at each other and asked, "Are we really not going?"

Zhang Wangu shook his head. "Don't look at me. I'm really not going."

Shang Li took a deep breath and said, "Alright then, I'm not going either."

"Forget it, I'm going back to reading."

This was something one could never tire of reading. The more carefully one read, the more one became hooked, and the more benefits one gained.
