108: The system is the mastermind behind the scenes

Although everyone couldn't clearly see the mysterious person's appearance, it wasn't hard to guess the expression on his face from his arrogant words.

Lin Mu didn't mind the mysterious person's condescending tone.

He asked calmly, "Should I call you System, or should I call you Heavenly Dao?"

The mysterious person seemed to have anticipated Lin Mu's question.

He said frankly, "You can call me whatever you like. I am both the System and the Heavenly Dao."

Although Lin Mu had already guessed this in his heart, he was still slightly shocked at this moment.

Lin Mu had originally thought that after he transmigrated, he would be like other male protagonists in novels.

He would rely on the System to advance rapidly, eventually achieving great success and avenging himself.

Who knew that this damn System not only ignored him but also plotted against him behind his back?

This made Lin Mu wonder if those who also transmigrated and gained a System were likewise being manipulated by the System.

Perhaps every System was a huge conspiracy.

Otherwise, how could such a good thing just fall into one's lap for no reason?

Thinking of this, Lin Mu asked again, "Why did you choose me in the first place?"

The mysterious person pondered for a moment and said, "Rather than saying I chose you, it was more of a serendipitous encounter."

"You know now that I am the Heavenly Dao of this world."

"However, I am not a complete Heavenly Dao right now."

As soon as the mysterious person said this, everyone was stunned.

They stared blankly at the mysterious person in disbelief.

Some even pinched themselves until they felt a piercing pain, only then realizing this wasn't a dream.

He murmured to himself, "This is the Heavenly Dao? Heavens, I'm not dreaming. Does the Heavenly Dao really exist?"

As cultivators of the Nine Nether Continent, the Heavenly Dao was an existence like a supreme god in their hearts.

Cultivators also always liked to swear by the Heavenly Dao.

Now, a person claiming to be the Heavenly Dao appeared before them.

It was no wonder they were so shocked.

However, some cultivators also raised doubts, believing that this person was merely trying to act mysterious.

Regardless of everyone's comments, the mysterious person paid no attention.

He continued speaking to himself, "Originally, I had already cultivated to a realm where I could transcend this world."

"But, by coincidence, just as I was condensing my true Heavenly Dao body, I encountered a person from the God Realm who had intruded into this world."

"That person wanted to seize my divine body, and we erupted into a great battle."

"The final result was that my divine body was shattered, and that person was severely injured by me, his spirit separated from his body."

Lin Mu interrupted at this point, "So, the heavenly dao stone is your shattered divine body."

"And that person from the God Realm who fought against you is Wu Daoren (Nameless/Unprincipled Man)?"

The mysterious person spread his hands and nodded, "You guessed completely correctly."

Lin Mu frowned slightly and then said, "If that's the case, how did you two end up together again? Could it be that you have a common goal?"

The mysterious person seemed to be in a good mood; he patiently explained, "This is why I brought you all to this world."

"In that great battle, we both suffered heavy losses, leaving only our spiritual bodies."

"Finally, we reached a consensus to cooperate and find suitable vessels for us to possess."

"Originally in this world, we had already tried a few people. Although they were exceptionally talented, none of them were suitable in the end."

"So, we worked together to open a void passage and teleported you all from an unknown planet."

"Clearly, this decision was correct. Only those who do not belong to this world can perfectly merge with the Heavenly Dao body."

"And your attendant, Lao Mo, also perfectly matches Wu Daoren (Nameless/Unprincipled Man)'s original divine power."

Lin Mu said with a dark expression, "So, the purpose of having us search for the heavenly dao stone was to make us gradually merge?"

The mysterious person said indifferently, "That's right. The body I reshaped for you back then was actually just your original body modified by my Power of the Heavenly Dao."

"And Lao Mo's body was modified using Wu Daoren (Nameless/Unprincipled Man)'s original divine power."

"As for the heavenly dao stone, it was deliberately distributed by Wu Daoren (Nameless/Unprincipled Man) to various places."

"The purpose was to temper your compatibility with the body."

Lin Mu's expression was displeased as he asked in a deep voice, "So, all those who possess the heavenly dao stone are your pawns?"

"And today's events are also a trap you set to lure me here?"

The mysterious person said with some excitement, "Exactly. I can feel that you have perfectly merged with the Heavenly Dao divine body."

"Therefore, I had no choice but to end the heavenly dao stone mission early."

"Now, all nine heavenly dao stones have merged into the body."

"Once I possess it and completely refine all the heavenly dao stones, I will be able to fully recover my peak strength."

When the mysterious person said this, he looked at Lin Mu's body with greedy eyes.

Lin Mu seemed not to have noticed the mysterious person's gaze.

He said thoughtfully, "So, gathering the heavenly dao stones to summon the eye of the heavenly dao was also fake?"

The mysterious person paused upon hearing this, then suddenly realized something.

He chuckled lightly and shook his head, saying, "That was just something I said casually. Once I recover my true form, I can ascend to the God Realm out of thin air."

The mysterious person seemed a bit impatient.

He suddenly said with a cold tone, "Is there anything you regret not accomplishing? As a reward for you, I will complete it."

Lin Mu chuckled upon hearing this, "No need to trouble you. I have nothing to regret."

The mysterious person said, "In that case, then bid farewell to this world."

With that, he brought his middle and index fingers together, silently chanted a few incantations, then pointed at Lin Mu with a flick of his finger.

He shouted, "Freeze!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Mu suddenly felt as if his soul was bound in place by an invisible restraint.

Long Yuan, seeing this from the side, rarely showed a shocked expression.

Lin Mu, who had always been invincible, actually had his soul restrained.

Just as he was about to make a move, Wu Daoren (Nameless/Unprincipled Man) flashed and blocked his path.

The two immediately became entangled in battle.

After freezing Lin Mu's soul, the mysterious person smiled with satisfaction.

Then, after another spell, his body actually became transparent.

Once his body was completely transparent,

The mysterious person's body slowly approached Lin Mu.

Then, to everyone's shocked gazes, the mysterious person actually completely merged into Lin Mu's body.

Long Yuan, who was still entangled in battle with Wu Daoren (Nameless/Unprincipled Man) in the distance, was also helpless.

Although the Wu Daoren (Nameless/Unprincipled Man) in front of him was not as strong as him,

He also couldn't defeat him in a short amount of time.

Long Yuan could only look at Lin Mu with extreme anxiety.

Lin Mu was his only hope for revenge now, but this hope was almost slim.

Just as his thoughts were racing,

He saw the originally motionless Lin Mu actually start to move.

He saw him lower his head to look at his hands, then moved his limbs around.

Only then did he laugh with satisfaction, "This body is really good. Thousands of years of waiting, it's finally come true. Haha!"

Long Yuan's pupils widened; he clearly knew that the person speaking was no longer Lin Mu.

He sternly questioned, "What have you done to Young Master Lin? I advise you to leave his body, otherwise!"

"Lin Mu" laughed wildly, "Otherwise, what? What can you, a mere false god in the Dao One Realm, do to me?"

After he finished speaking, he casually struck the void, and Long Yuan, who was fighting Wu Daoren (Nameless/Unprincipled Man), was sent flying hundreds of meters.

However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.

The confident look on his face gradually turned ferocious.

He shouted in disbelief, "Impossible, how can your soul be so powerful?"

He screamed frantically, looking deranged, and finally, he let out a loud cry, "No! I'm not reconciled."

As this unwilling cry fell,

Lin Mu's body paused once again.
