1043: Origin of the system
Regarding Five Finger Mountain or the Sky-Mending Stone, after seeing those things, their names almost instantly appeared in Ye Tian's mind.
This was part of No. 1's memory.
In its cognition, those things were given those names.
Due to the increase in strength, the fragmented memory continued. Amidst the brilliant sky, No. 1 System erupted with full power, rushing towards the gap in the broken sky.
The Sky-Mending Stones behind were also following closely.
Because of these Sky-Mending Stones, the dark deep space Universe behind them was illuminated.
The existences that had been pursuing No. 1 System from beginning to end also revealed their true forms!
That was a dense expanse of surging Black Shadows.
The shape of each Black Shadow was different, but they all belonged to the same category, and each one exuded an aura of boundless terror!
Compared to them, the System seemed exceptionally small.
Each of these guys was stronger than No. 1 System. In a normal pursuit, sending out hundreds or thousands would already be considered highly Pay attention to, but sending out billions of them didn't seem like a pursuit; instead, it was as if No. 1 System had taken their home, causing them to pursue so frantically.
Of course, the so-called 'home' in Ye Tian's eyes was just a rough outline of an object.
No. 1 System itself must have taken something extremely important to those existences behind it, causing them to pursue it for so long without giving up!
“Buzz~”
In the memory, No. 1 System successfully passed through the gap in the broken sky!
The Sky-Mending Stones behind immediately filled the gap.
The moment the sky, measured in light-years, was completely formed, the boundless Black Shadow army behind instantly crashed into it!
No. 1 System, which had already passed through the gap, could see in its rearview perspective that the entire sky trembled violently under the impact of the Black Shadow army!
The rippling shockwaves, in the silent void, crushed the surrounding stars one by one!
"Did it stop them?" Ye Tian's words, following the thoughts of No. 1 System in the memory, blurted out.
"No, not yet!"
In the memory scene, there was still a Black Shadow with a powerful aura in the area behind, following closely!
Although only one remained, this guy still had the strength to annihilate No. 1 System!
The monotonous chase drama welcomed its second generation.
After passing through the celestial body of the sky completed by the Sky-Mending Stone, the surrounding void that No. 1 System could see was still pitch black!
However, in the pitch-black Universe, the circulating aura had evolved from the mainstream spiritual energy of the East towards another kind of power...
It's unknown how much time passed.
At a certain moment, a faint, almost imperceptible song came from the void of this empty Universe!
The sound of this singing caused a moment of blankness in No. 1 System's memory.
And after this moment of blankness, Ye Tian discovered that No. 1 System had not been caught by the Black Shadow behind that was relentlessly pursuing it.
The other party was also clearly affected by this song!
What other dangers were there in this pitch-black Universe?
Ye Tian's breathing became sharp.
Then, from the memory scene fed back by No. 1 System, he saw a vast ocean in the distance within the pitch-black Universe!
This ocean was absolutely countless times larger than any ocean Ye Tian had ever seen!
And within that vast ocean, there seemed to be a terrifying demon with a horrifying appearance!
"Siren's Song."
Another key piece of information was transmitted by No. 1 System.
"Greek mythology?" Ye Tian slightly focused.
If these scenes hadn't been transmitted from No. 1 System's memory, he couldn't have imagined that there was a place in the original World where Eastern and Western mythologies merged.
Although the two sides seemed to be separated by a Universe through that sky...
No. 1 System flew away again.
During this process, Ye Tian could notice, from the scene fed back by No. 1 System, the Black Shadow pursuing it from behind and its yearning for that ocean!
This state.
It was like encountering a highly desired delicacy during work.
This Black Shadow, that ocean was on its menu, or rather, the existences in Greek legends were on its menu!
Not long after, Ye Tian saw it for sure.
This Black Shadow directly split into two; one half continued to pursue No. 1 System, and the other half rushed towards that boundless ocean!
And as this operation of the Black Shadow concluded, Ye Tian suddenly seemed to think of something and pulled his memory back to the scene when No. 1 System had just broken through the sky.
Reviewing it again, Ye Tian could clearly see.
The Black Shadows blocked by the sky, after being blocked, did not choose to crash to open a gap.
Instead, they all lay on the sky and frantically gnawed at it!
They were like locusts in the Universe!
No, compared to locusts, they were countless times more terrifying!
Recalling the memory scene of Five Finger Mountain again.
This time, under Ye Tian's focused attention, he immediately discovered that in the scene, after No. 1 System had gone far away, Five Finger Mountain was also coveted by the Black Shadow army!
...
"What exactly are these guys?" Ye Tian muttered to himself, somewhat concerned.
In short, after seeing those guys, he also faintly felt a sense of crisis.
As one of the Black Shadows behind split in half to devour that ocean, the other half continued to pursue No. 1 System.
The third generation of the pursuit began.
It seemed that the crossing of the sky had consumed too much energy.
Ye Tian's tracing of No. 1 System's memory had a discontinuity from this point onwards.
When the memory reappeared, No. 1 System in the scene had already appeared on a vast land.
And in front of No. 1 System, hundreds of existences, holding magic wands, who were known to be the strongest in this World with just a slight perception, collectively mobilized their magic power.
A magnificent and vast Array Formation pattern began to rise from the ground and the sky!
Between these patterns, the single pursuing Black Shadow had already been firmly bound by chains!
As the Array Formation took shape, the Black Shadow could only roar frantically, but it could not struggle or escape!
The dark light membrane receded, and the true appearance of this Black Shadow was also revealed in the sunlight.
This was a terrifying Dark Demon, ten thousand meters tall, with two horns on its head, two huge fleshy wings on its back, and muscles as solid as mountains all over its body!
The Dark Demon's skin was dark green and black, with streaks of electrical patterns flowing on its surface. It was unknown how much lightning power capable of annihilating all living beings was contained within its body!
It was also at this moment that Ye Tian realized that No. 1 System was not appearing in its main body in the current area.
It was currently residing in a Host.
And this Host was also the Teacher of those hundred supreme Magicians.
"Our race cannot be killed." The imprisoned Dark Demon's tone was heavy, and its dark pupils locked onto No. 1 System's Host: "Offer the Crossing Law early, and our race will grant you assimilation!"
"Karma, time, space, life, death, Devour... Countless existences and races that mastered Laws died because of you, and our race was also devoured by you. System command: escape, survive, grow, seek revenge."
A mechanical voice of reply, after tens of thousands of years, came from No. 1 System's mouth.
"Our race is the Jie, the inevitable Jie. Anything you do is meaningless!"
The Dark King spoke with a muffled voice.
And regarding this, No. 1 System did not continue to reply.
Ye Tian could see that No. 1 System used the power it had collected to activate the Law and construct a Crossing Gate.
After crossing this gate, everything outside the gate suddenly changed.
Next to it were a bookshelf or two, and a few famous quotes hung on the wall. This was an old bookstore.
After flying out of the bookstore, in No. 1 System's field of vision, there were ordinary people walking their lives, a bustling City, and streets filled with traffic.
"This is your origin?" As the scene before Ye Tian's eyes gradually faded, he gained a general understanding of No. 1 System's arrival.
Being pursued, it fled to Blue Star, bound a Host, and developed.
Later, it met him...
"Crossing Law." Looking at his palm, Ye Tian just realized that the System's inherent crossing ability was materialized from the power of Law.
During the escape, No. 1 System must have also used this power of Law; otherwise, it would have been impossible to maintain a safe distance while being pursued by those powerful existences.
Sitting in the chair and pondering for a while, Ye Tian glanced at the sky outside the window: "No. 1 System, the first stop in this World was a bookstore."
"Could it be that it itself crossed out of a book?"
This idea was mainly inferred from the scenes in No. 1 System's memory.
In this way, Ye Tian became quite curious about that book.
However, finding a book in the entire World was not a small project.
Fortunately, there were some landmark buildings related to that bookstore in the memory.
According to the information in the memory, a spatial gate appeared in front of Ye Tian. After stepping into it, he arrived on a street with people coming and going.
Slightly turning his head, an old bookstore appeared before him.
This was the place.
After seeing this bookstore, Ye Tian was slightly surprised.
The bookstore had already been sealed with a Seal.
Stepping forward, Ye Tian directly entered the bookstore.
A thick layer of dust covered this small bookstore tightly.
There were a total of four bookshelves inside the bookstore, and the books on the shelves were basically covered by dust, forgotten by the world.
After walking around among the four bookshelves, according to the layout of the famous quotes on the wall, Ye Tian stopped in front of one bookshelf.
On this bookshelf, a book instantly attracted Ye Tian's attention!
"Magic Continent."
In a self-muttering voice, Ye Tian took out the book.
With his current strength, he could clearly sense the residual power of No. 1 System on it!
No. 1 System used the Crossing Law from here to come to Blue Star!
Of course.
Because No. 1 System had a missing memory segment, Ye Tian didn't know if, behind this book, it was still connected to that vaster Universe.
Normally, it was unlikely that such a situation would occur.
If this book truly connected those worlds, its name shouldn't be Magic Continent.
After seeing this book, Ye Tian had a general idea of the things he had seen in No. 1 System's memory.
Things like Five Finger Mountain, the Sky-Mending Stone mending the sky, or the Siren's Song, could all be seen as books that were separated!
Finding the corresponding book would allow him to enter those worlds!
This book, Magic Continent, was the most typical example.
If his guess was correct, on the World within this book, there remained a terrifying existence sealed by the strong individuals organized by No. 1 System!
As for whether that terrifying existence was half a unit of Black Shadow or a quarter unit of Black Shadow, it remained unknown due to the missing memory.
"If they are all books, then is my World also a book?" Looking at the ordinary street outside the window, Ye Tian then looked at the book Magic Continent in his hand, and had a vague notion of the concept of the entire Universe.
