2: Chapter 2 Is the True Young Master a Reborn Immortal Emperor? If I die, can I go back to being a Homelander?
"In this day and age, lying flat is the way to go!" Shen Yuan said indifferently.
"Ding, the Host makes sense!" The System spoke up, "However, this world is very dangerous!"
"How dangerous?" Shen Yuan asked.
"Ding, the true young master is a Reborn Immortal Emperor!" The System said calmly.
Shen Yuan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
What the hell?
I thought you were playing an urban setting with me, but instead, you bring in a Reborn Immortal Emperor?
"Ding, has the Host ever read those novels where... I've already undergone the tribulation, and the fake daughter is still competing for favor..." the System asked.
Shen Yuan suddenly realized, "I've read them, I understand!"
"And I'm the fake young master who's competing for favor to death..."
"The true young master is a Reborn Immortal Emperor!"
Shen Yuan looked up, looking like he was crying yet not crying, laughing yet not laughing, "Is this even an urban world anymore?"
"Ding, they say urban novels have the highest ceiling, haven't you heard of that?" the System said again.
Shen Yuan fell silent for a second.
That's right!
Urban novels have the highest ceiling...
Urban novels can develop into sci-fi, aiming for the stars and the sea!
They can also head toward immortal cultivation and fantasy, eventually even killing their way to the Primordial Era.
I feel like you, System, are trying to get me killed.
"Reborn Immortal Emperor... is this also a world of spiritual energy recovery?" Shen Yuan scratched his head.
"Ding, you could say that!"
"Ding, when suppressing the Child of Destiny, please take note, Host, you must not die!" The System said calmly.
Shen Yuan: "????"
"Ding, once the Host dies at the hands of the protagonist..."
"This System will have no choice but to send the Host back to the original Earth, which has no supernatural powers, and gift the Host with the cultivation of a Primary Human Immortal, along with ten billion as compensation!" the System said.
Shen Yuan, who was just about to lie flat, did a carp kip-up and jumped up.
What did you say!?
I was originally going to complain that if the System couldn't even protect me, what was the point of having it...
But that last sentence completely woke me up.
Die at the hands of the protagonist and return to Earth?
With ten billion as a gift!?
And the cultivation of a Primary Human Immortal!?
Damn!
If I go back, wouldn't I be able to be a Homelander?
I will display my power and be worshipped by the whole world!
I will become a god!
I can even go for a stroll in the starry sky when I'm bored...
When the UN General Assembly meets, I'll fall into it while heavily injured and point at the starry sky, shouting...
They are coming!
Then, I'll fake my death and go into seclusion.
Watching a bunch of ants in a panic, losing their moral bottom line, and seeing order collapse...
Slap!
Shen Yuan gave himself a slap without hesitation.
Why the hell am I so evil?
As a Villain, I really didn't choose the wrong path!
"Ding, so Host, are you ready to suppress or even kill the Child of Destiny?" the System asked calmly.
Shen Yuan fell into deep thought.
Here, I have trillions in assets.
But with a Reborn Immortal Emperor, I'll surely encounter Immortal Kings and Immortal Lords in the future!
Perhaps even ancient myths will emerge.
But after going back... I will be the only god.
A mere ten billion is no longer worth looking at!
Shen Yuan rubbed his chin, thinking frantically in his mind...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.
Why must I suppress the Child of Destiny?
Why can't I...
Hehehe!
After all, System...
If I can cooperate with the Child of Destiny, I can lie flat all the way!
If I can't cooperate, at worst I'll just die...
And return to Earth to become a god and ancestor!
However, there is a small problem.
"System, if I do something, you won't erase me, right?" Shen Yuan smiled slightly.
"Ding, no!"
"Even if the Host reveals the existence of the System, I won't!" The System said solemnly, "Systems that erase their Hosts are all wild, dark systems. I am a great, glorious, and righteous System!"
"Alright! Since that's the case, then I'll do it!" Shen Yuan slapped his thigh, "System... your newbie gift pack is lackluster. One million? Do you think I'm short on such pocket change?"
System: "..."
Shen Yuan: "Can you change it?"
"Ding, yes!"
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Heaven-Opening Creation Technique!"
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the cultivation of the peak of Qi Refining!" the System said calmly.
Shen Yuan immediately felt a terrifying power boiling within his body, and some memories appeared in his mind.
That power was as easy to control as his own arm.
Shen Yuan opened his eyes, beaming.
Others' cultivation comes from bitter practice and is unstable!
My power comes from the System's stat points and is incredibly solid!
"System, you can detect the location of the Child of Destiny, right?" Shen Yuan licked his lips.
"Ding, currently limited, I can only detect the Child of Destiny within five kilometers!" the System said, "I can only confirm the identity of the Child of Destiny, not other information!"
"That means the true young master is pretty close to me... That makes sense. Since they were deliberately swapped, he must be watching from nearby..."
"Name, age, gender, occupation!" Shen Yuan said indifferently, "I'll go find him myself!"
"Ding, alright!" the System said directly.
After receiving the information, Shen Yuan went downstairs, pushed the door open, and walked out.
In the villa's living room, the old butler was reading a book... "On the Self-Cultivation of an Overbearing CEO!"
"Uncle Gou!" Shen Yuan yawned.
"Young Master!" Uncle Gou stood up.
"Uncle Gou, prepare the car, I'm going out!"
"Also, arrange those eight Bodyguards who are 1.9 meters tall and muscular for me!"
Shen Yuan yawned, then asked curiously, "Uncle Gou, what is your real name?"
In the Original Owner's memory, he only knew to call him Uncle Gou since childhood.
Yet he never knew Uncle Gou's real name.
Therefore, Shen Yuan was very curious.
Uncle Gou looked stunned. Why are you going out so late at night? There's no party or anything.
Just as he was about to ask, he fell silent.
My silence is deafening.
If you don't ask for my name, we are still good friends.
"Young Master, don't ask!" Uncle Gou coughed, "Young Master, where do you plan to go?"
Shen Yuan: "..."
What does that mean? You're telling me not to ask... or is it that your name is Gou Mowen!?
"Just arrange it, I have some business to take care of!" Shen Yuan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'm not going to bully men or women!"
Uncle Gou went out, and Shen Yuan stretched, then followed him out.
Very quickly, four Bodyguards followed Shen Yuan into the Rolls-Royce!
The remaining four got into another Mercedes G-Wagon.
Very quickly... Shen Yuan arrived near... Modu University!
He wanted to go to the snack street behind Modu University.
It's just that there was no place to park...
So... he had to get out of the car.
"If I don't know the way, I'll just use the Unscrupulous Map!" Shen Yuan opened the Unscrupulous Map and turned on the walking navigation...
After walking for a while...
Shen Yuan: "????"
Is there any normal path? First, you want me to climb over a railing, and then enter the school??
Fine, that's reasonable!
Then you want me to crawl through a small grove?
Do you know how many pairs of lovers I've startled?
Miss, take my advice: a man who isn't even willing to pay for a room and makes you go into a small grove with him should be kicked to the curb early.
After crawling through the small grove...
Damn it, you want me to climb a wall!?
And who the hell built a platform with bricks?
Are college students so blatant about climbing walls?
Eight Bodyguards: "..."
Young Master, do you have some kind of serious illness?
The group of nine climbed over the wall... and then arrived in front of a dead-end alley.
According to the Unscrupulous Map, as long as they crossed this dead-end alley, they would reach the restaurant where the true young master was working.
Shen Yuan suddenly stopped, as noisy sounds came from ahead, accompanied by a girl's scream.
"Yo, isn't this the great beauty of our class, Chu Yiyi?"
"I've been chasing you for so long, and you won't even pay attention to me... How about you hang out with me tonight? Bro guarantees you'll be comfortable!"
"It's late at night, how lonely it is to be alone!"
