1: This system is a bit cold.

In the dark wilderness, Lin Mu stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Lao Mo, you go on ahead. Don't mind me."

"Master, you saved my life. If we die, we die together."

Lin Mu said with a complex expression:

"To think that I, Lin Mu, started from scratch and built a business empire with my own efforts, yet I trusted the wrong person."

After speaking, Lin Mu coughed again.

"Master, you just trusted that Lu Ziming too much."

"Alas, it's no use talking about it now."

Just then, a noisy commotion came from behind.

"They haven't gone far. They're just ahead. We need to see them alive or find their bodies."

Lin Mu turned to look at the people Lu Ziming had sent and shook his head.

"If there's a next life, I will never trust anyone so easily again."

Lao Mo said anxiously:

"Master, you go first. I'll stay and delay them."

Lin Mu grabbed Lao Mo's hand and said breathlessly:

"We said we'd die together. How could I leave you alone?"

With that, Lin Mu and Lao Mo supported each other and walked towards a cliff.

They exchanged a smile and jumped down together.

Suddenly!

"Ding... Detecting... condition for host's ten deaths has been met. Host Lin Mu has experienced ten lives as a good person who met an unfortunate end. Activating the Heavenly Dao Longevity System now!"

"System? I'm not dead?"

Lin Mu was currently in a state of spiritual consciousness projection.

He could clearly see his body floating in a dark void.

The mechanical voice sounded again.

"The host's main body is already dead. This is a spiritual consciousness body simulated by the system."

Lin Mu tried to communicate with the system using his spiritual consciousness.

"So I'm already dead? What is the Heavenly Dao Longevity System?"

"The Heavenly Dao Longevity System selects eligible hosts across all realms and bestows upon them the ability of eternal life."

Lin Mu asked in confusion:

"Why choose me?"

The system's emotionless voice sounded in Lin Mu's ear again.

"The host does not need to ask further. The host has one extra right to revive one person. Do you wish to use it?"

Lin Mu thought of Lao Mo and quickly said, "Use it immediately."

"Please recall the appearance and name of the person to be revived in your mind."

Lin Mu immediately visualized Lao Mo's appearance in his mind.

"The revived person, Lao Mo."

"Beginning revival."

"Revival successful."

Lin Mu heard the system's voice, his spiritual consciousness scanned his surroundings, but he did not find Lao Mo's figure.

"System, where is Lao Mo?"

"The person revived by the host will also be granted some special abilities by the system. The revived person has been teleported to the virtual space."

"Only when the host is teleported to the virtual space will the revived person awaken."

"Teleport now?"

Lin Mu said without hesitation, "Teleport."

"Please prepare, teleportation will begin in one minute."

A moment later, the system's voice sounded again.

"Teleportation countdown 10, 9... 3, 2, 1."

As time ran out, a dizzying sensation came over him. When he opened his eyes again, the light was somewhat dazzling. Lin Mu slowly blinked a few times before his eyes adjusted to the brightness.

This was a vast, white three-dimensional space, with no other color besides white.

Lin Mu looked left and right and found Lao Mo not far away.

"Lao Mo!"

Lin Mu shouted loudly towards Lao Mo!

As if hearing Lin Mu's voice, Lao Mo slowly opened his eyes, his face filled with confusion.

Then, seeing Lin Mu's figure, he asked blankly.

"Master, where are we?"

Lin Mu looked at Lao Mo, his expression somewhat excited as he said, "When we jumped off the cliff, the system was activated, and now we've been teleported to a mysterious space."

"System?"

Lao Mo was somewhat disbelieving.

Lin Mu said, "I know you find it hard to believe, but it was indeed the system that revived us."

Just then, the system's voice sounded again, but this time it was externalized, and both of them could hear it.

"Host and sub-body have both been revived. Does the host wish to begin the second round of Ten Lives Reincarnation?"

"Sub-body? Second reincarnation? What is that?"

"The person revived by the host will become the host's sub-body. The sub-body will experience reincarnation together with the host."

"After the reincarnation ends, both the host and the sub-body will receive system rewards."

"Important note: In this reincarnation, the host will retain ten lives' memories and will die with a villainous persona."

"Does the host confirm to begin experiencing reincarnation now?"

Lin Mu pondered to himself: "Since it's hard to be a good person, then from now on, I, Lin Mu, will be a thorough villain."

"System, start the reincarnation."

"Virtual Great World construction complete. Beginning reincarnation now."

In the first life, Lin Mu was a tyrant of an imperial dynasty, and Lao Mo was the chief eunuch. They died under the chaotic blades of the rebel army.

In the second life, Lin Mu was a Demonic Sect Leader, and Lao Mo was his protector. They died in the encirclement and suppression by the righteous alliance.

In the third life, both Lin Mu and Lao Mo were notorious bandits, slain by a young master undergoing training.

In the fourth life, Lin Mu was a corrupt merchant in a county, and Lao Mo was a great corrupt official. Their family was raided and exterminated by an imperial inspector... This continued until the tenth life. In this life, which was a high-martial world, Lin Mu and Lao Mo were both elders of the Myriad Devil Sect, a demonic cultivation sect.

They had cultivated for a hundred years, stepping over countless corpses, and were on the verge of achieving physical sainthood.

However, they were refined alive by several fellow elders, led by the Vice Sect Master, who set up a Soul-Locking Great Formation.

Their flesh, blood, and spiritual souls were refined into a boundary breaking pill.

Unexpectedly, in their last life, they didn't die at the hands of righteous people, but rather at the hands of fellow sect members, who were also villains.

As Lin Mu and Lao Mo perished, the ten lives of reincarnation ended!

They were once again transported back to the white virtual space.

The system's voice sounded again.

"Congratulations, Host, for completing ten lives of reincarnation. System rewards are now being distributed."

"Rewarding Host with the Eternal Undying Body."

"Eternal Undying Body: Immune to fire and water, impervious to all magic, unaffected by all attacks and formation restraints."

"Rewarding Sub-body with eternal life, limitless spiritual power that can be freely controlled, and issuing the form-shifting whip, which can transform into any shape."

"Reward distribution complete!"

As soon as the system's voice ended,

Lin Mu and Lao Mo both felt as if an endless stream of life essence was flowing within their bodies.

Their original spiritual consciousness bodies actually condensed into physical forms.

Lin Mu's aged face visibly regressed, returning to youth.

In just a moment, he transformed into the youthful appearance of someone in his early twenties.

At this moment, with his high nose bridge, deep eyes, jade-like complexion, it would be no exaggeration to say he was as handsome as Pan An and as elegant as Song Yu.

Although Lao Mo still looked elderly,

his spirit and energy were completely different. In his hand, he held a black whip, about three feet long, the form-shifting whip.

Both were lost in thought for a long while before the system's voice sounded again.

"The system's final mission: the Nine Underworlds Continent Heavenly Dao Mission."

"Find nine heavenly dao stones to repair the damaged Heavenly Dao of the Nine Underworlds Continent."

"Upon completion of the mission, the eye of the heavenly dao will be activated, granting the opportunity to ascend and become a god."

"Nine Underworlds Continent? Ascend and become a god?"

Both of them looked shocked.

Lin Mu couldn't help but think, "If I can truly become a god, I must find a way to return to Blue Star. I will make those who harmed me pay the price."

Suddenly, the system's mechanical voice sounded once again.

"There are currently no existences on the Nine Underworlds Continent that can threaten you. Please rest assured, Host."

"Do you accept the mission and wish to be immediately teleported to the Nine Underworlds Continent?"

Lin Mu said without hesitation, "Teleport immediately."

The chance to become a god—who could resist such a temptation?

"The system will teleport the host to the Nine Underworlds Continent. Host and sub-body, please prepare. Teleportation beginning."

"I still have a question..."

"Mission has been issued. Host, please prepare for teleportation. Teleportation countdown 10, 9, 8..."
