158: The cultivation system is a trap!

Looking at the words "Come to the Desolate God Realm to meet your death" on the System light screen.

Shen Pan's spirit was lifted.

"Could it be that the sorrow of no light also thinks this Lu Zhisheng is too big a threat, just like the Lord of the Abyss?"

"And needs to be nipped in the bud?"

However, based on the several pieces of information given by the System, the sorrow of no light shouldn't be that kind of person, right?

Then the problem must lie with this plot protagonist!

"Not bad, this is what a qualified protagonist should be like!"

He knew that this protagonist who liked Loli Succubi could definitely dig up something big!

However, the plot provided by the System still left Shen Pan a bit confused.

It took half a year to reach the Ninth Tier Peak; is that speed fast?

Being so slow, is there a need to be alert and on guard?!

If this counts as fast, then what about him, who has been awakened for less than a month and is already at the Eighth Tier?

What does that make a newcomer who barely possesses Epic combat power?

So Shen Pan continued reading.

[When this announcement spread throughout Blue Star, everyone fell silent.]

[Especially your teachers and Classmates; the looks they gave you became even more strange, filled with fear.]

[Two consecutive Otherworld Demon Gods of the Mythic Rank both want to kill or Seal you.]

[It shows that there really are some problems with you!]

[Your life took a turn for the worse; not only were you cut off by your Family at light speed, but you were also forbidden from leaving the Imperial Capital by the Martial Administration Bureau!]

[Soon, several councilors from the Blue Star Council contacted you privately, wanting you to reveal your secrets.]

[They promised they could fight for a chance for you to live.]

[But your heart was full of confusion because you had no idea what they were talking about.]

[You can just extract spiritual power from an unknown space without limit; could that be wrong?]

[Just as you were falling into despair, feeling like giving up and not wanting the Seed of Spiritual Power anymore...]

[...the Seed of Spiritual Power inside you suddenly began to tremble, and streams of incredibly pure spiritual power continuously poured into your body.]

[In the blink of an eye, you broke through to the Epic Rank and were still continuously improving!]

[The surging spiritual power tide instantly attracted the attention of the entire Imperial Capital!]

[But you felt yourself transforming into a cocoon, as if another consciousness in your mind was about to break out of its shell!]

[In that split second, your vacant eyes saw things you hadn't noticed before.]

[You saw an illusory pipe.]

[This pipe seemed to extend from an infinitely high unknown space, connecting all the way to the Seed of Spiritual Power inside your body.]

[It was pumping spiritual power into you every moment, constantly pushing you toward the Legendary Rank!]

[You seemed to understand something.]

[Why the Prodigies who awakened the Seed of Spiritual Power can level up quickly without Cultivation Techniques or resources, completely regardless of the environment.]

[It turns out all of you...]

[Everyone who has awakened a Seed of Spiritual Power is a potential source of danger, a living seedbed!]

[Your intuition tells you that letting this cocoon hatch will bring disaster to Blue Star!]

[Mission: Actively embrace death and do not let yourself involve Blue Star!]

[Reward: One upgrade point, one skill point, Enhanced Seed of Spiritual Power (hidden dangers removed)]

After reading the plot provided by the System, Shen Pan's pupils suddenly constricted, and a huge wave of shock rose in his heart.

He was somewhat stunned by that terrifying truth!

"The Cultivation System of the Fourth Transcendence Awakening is a trap!!!"

"Looking at it this way, normally Awakening a Seed of Spiritual Power is indeed a Heaven-Defying change of fate for ordinary people, with no harm in the short term."

"But there will also be a very few individual cases where the awakened Seed of Spiritual Power is different and can easily lose control and turn into a monster!"

Then the question arises: why do the sorrow of no light and the Lord of the Abyss, who learned the news...

...both want to kill the protagonist?

It couldn't be that the monsters these out-of-control Seed of Spiritual Power holders turn into are very strong...

...or will attract some terrifying existence...

...leading to the total destruction of Blue Star and the worlds near Blue Star, right?

"It's not impossible..."

And this mission wants him to embrace death—to make him commit suicide?

Suicide is out of the question, so he could only find another way.

Seeing Shen Pan fall silent after seeing the notice sent by the school...

...Ruan Qingshu gently pushed his chest, her dark eyes revealing concern and worry.

"Shen Pan?"

She felt that Shen Pan was like Ruolai; sometimes he would suddenly freeze in place and daze for a few seconds.

Could this be the legendary couple's resemblance?

Dammit, she definitely won't admit defeat!

"It's nothing. Qingshu, mobilize the power within your body."

Shen Pan's eyes were calm as he prepared to try and exploit a bug.

"The power in my body... the Power of Death?"

Ruan Qingshu, with her eyebrows slightly raised, did as she was told.

She also nudged her other sleeping self, asking her to pay some rent.

She let her Power of Death receive a boost, spreading throughout her body until it almost became physical!

The next instant.

Shen Pan, who also used the Power of Death to counteract the negative effects, gave her a hug.

???

The bewildered Ruan Qingshu subconsciously looked up and closed her eyes.

After realizing this was the Imperial Capital Academy, her face flushed red with shame, and she pressed herself tightly against Shen Pan's chest.

She wasn't like Ruolai; she didn't have the ability to hide herself!

Meanwhile, Shen Pan looked at the System's completion notification with a "just as I thought" look in his eyes.

Ruan Qingshu = Underworld Emperor = symbol of death.

He hugged Qingshu—how could that not count as embracing death?

One of the best things about this System...

...is that it's very easy to complete difficult missions by exploiting bugs!

[Back then, you went up to the rooftop prepared to commit suicide with a heart full of despair and humiliation.]

[Only then did you awaken this unique Seed of Spiritual Power, changing your life.]

[And now, because of it, you choose death once again!]

[Just an instant before you self-destructed, an endless expanse of black and white instantly enveloped the entire Imperial Capital.]

[Everything lost its color, and all was brought to a standstill.]

[To your surprise, you found...]

[...that the consciousness in your mind trying to fight you for your body had also fallen into silence!]

["Which councilor made a move?"]

[Just as you thought you might still be saved, an incredibly indifferent and emotionless voice rang in your heart.]

["So this is the Fallen Immortal Clan recorded in the Abyss..."]

[An existence whose face could not be seen and whose form could not be remembered appeared in the sky above the Imperial Capital.]

[It was just an illusory projection, and this projection was slowly looking toward you.]

[You died, not even dust remained, completely disappearing.]

[From then on, no one on Blue Star would remember you, because your existence was completely erased.]

[Mission complete. Issuing rewards: one upgrade point, one skill point, Enhanced Seed of Spiritual Power (hidden dangers removed)]

"The first protagonist's role is finished..."

To actually erase all traces directly.

This sorrow of no light is just too cautious!

But thinking of the rewards this protagonist had provided him, Shen Pan sighed in his heart:

"May you be reincarnated as your favorite Loli Succubus in your next life!"
