OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time!-Chapter 457 - 433: Friend or Foe

Xuan Mie.

Black Abyss.

Li Ye.

Shi Nian silently repeated these three names in her mind.

Although it was her first time hearing these names, including the man who claimed to be Qian Ji, she felt an inexplicably familiar sensation.

It was as if she was supposed to know them.

"The system of Li Ye is formless and invisible, embodying his own Dao," Qian Ji continued nonchalantly, unaware of Shi Nian's contemplations, "To break this system, one must shatter his Dao. Otherwise, these systems are indestructible. However, as far as I know, you have already destroyed two of his systems, yet his Dao remains largely unaffected. I am curious, how did you manage to do it?"

Shi Nian raised her eyebrows.

In her mind, the little system had gone wildly berserk.

"How did I do it? Of course, with the little system! These mere systems are all trash before me,"

the little system boasted, hands on hips, laughing heartily.

Shi Nian, however, began to ponder.

Previously.

When the little system devoured that system, Shi Nian didn't find it too strange.

After all, she had never thought those systems were all that powerful.

But now.

Seeing this unfathomable man expressing curiosity, Shi Nian couldn't help but speculate.

These systems represented the Dao of a once Divine being.

Under normal circumstances, they indeed are indestructible.

But the little system destroyed them effortlessly.

It is well known.

If it is a Dao, then only a Dao of equal caliber can contend with it.

Shi Nian suddenly realized.

If those systems were created by Li Ye, then what about the little system?

Who created the little system?

If the little system was able to devour systems, it must also carry a powerful Dao within itself.

Who was it, who embedded their own grand Dao to create a being like the little system?

This seemed intentional, creating an adversary for Li Ye.

No, that's not right.

The little system is much more powerful than those systems.

Those systems need to resort to forceful, low-end tactics to empower their Hosts. The system must plunder power from others to make the Host powerful.

But the little system is different.

Its power seems endless and does not require plundering others; it can become incredibly powerful in a very short time.

Where does the little system's power come from?

Shi Nian did not respond to Qian Ji, but suddenly asked, "Since those three are betrayers of the Divine, are there Divines that have not betrayed?"

Qian Ji smiled slightly, "Among the nine great Divines of the Divine Realm, only those three are betrayers. But the other Divines have been implicated and are now undergoing Tribulation in the Human World."

Shi Nian nodded.

She had a vague idea in her mind.

To counteract a Divine, only another Divine is capable.

If Xuan Mie, Black Abyss, and Li Ye could strategize such a grand scheme.

What about the other Divines?

Do they not have any preparations? Have they not left any contingency?

Just by the numbers, they still outnumber those three.

The little system's stance is obviously different from those three betrayers.

Although the little system itself is somewhat muddled and may not have a very clear understanding, Shi Nian has realized that the very existence of the little system might be a contingency prepared jointly by other Divines to counteract those three.

Seeing Qian Ji's bewildered appearance, if he is not pretending, then he truly does not know about the existence of the little system.

This proves.

He was excluded from the plan.

In Shi Nian's mind, a camp diagram flashed like lightning. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Nine Divines.

Xuan Mie, Black Abyss, Li Ye, these three are the traitors.

Among the remaining six, Qian Ji is temporarily considered a Neutral.

Among those five Divines who haven't shown their faces, there must be one or several, possibly even all, involved in the plan of creating 'Xiao Tong'.

They exiled Xiao Tong to a minor world, perfectly avoiding the eyes and ears of those three traitors in the Immortal World, and then through Xiao Tong's power, they looked for someone who could break the stalemate.

What Shi Nian does not understand now is.

Why the chosen breaker of the stalemate would be herself.

Before, in a technologically small world with scarce Spiritual Power, she was just an utterly ordinary person.

After coming to the Cultivation World, she was not a person with great ambitions, just someone who wanted to lazily scrape by.

Why would Xiao Tong choose her?

This, Shi Nian did not understand.

Xiao Tong himself probably did not understand either.

Perhaps.

This is purely coincidental.

Or perhaps, those Divines have a deeper layer of considerations.

Shi Nian suddenly fell into deep thought.

Qian Ji did not urge her, he just quietly watched Shi Nian by her side.

As if just watching her was enough.

Finally, Shi Nian lifted her head, she seemed to have figured out certain things, or perhaps she simply became too lazy to think further.

She asked, "So, senior, you're telling me all this, is it related to the favor you want from me?"

Qian Ji smiled slightly: "Indeed it is related. In fact, for ten thousand years, I have been trying to find ways to stop the schemes of those three. But the whereabouts of the other Divines are unknown, and I alone cannot confront those three directly. Now, I've discovered that you are not afraid of Demonic Qi and have a way to deal with the system; I believe you are probably my best ally. The Space Tower is in your possession, right? So now, the first favor I need from you is to make a trip to the Demon World and eradicate the Demon Clan's top combat forces."

Shi Nian narrowed her eyes.

Those three traitorous Divines indeed caused great chaos under heaven, and if there was a chance, Shi Nian also intended to stir up some trouble for them. Moreover, she needed the head of the peak Demon Emperor to break through to the Immortal Venerate Realm.

This proposal of cooperation from Qian Ji was originally a win-win.

Shi Nian did not immediately agree.

The reason is simple.

Qian Ji, he does not know about Xiao Tong's existence.

If Xiao Tong is a contingency left by other Divines to counter those traitorous Divines.

If Qian Ji does not know, it means only that he was excluded.

If he's indeed committed, as he says, to stopping those three.

Why would he be excluded then?

Though Qian Ji's smile appeared harmless, the vigilance in Shi Nian's heart did not lessen at all.

This man's intentions might not just be about stopping those three traitors.

He might be a Neutral, but perhaps... also a deeper hidden traitor!

If this person indeed has such deep schemes, she needs to be even more cautious.

Such dealings with danger, had it been the previous Shi Nian, she would have definitely run away at once.

But this time.

She cannot run.

The soul shard of her Junior Master is on this person!

Even if she needs to run, she must first get the soul shard of the Junior Master.

After all, his current proposal is also beneficial for her.

Shi Nian thought for a moment and then agreed, "Fine, I will go with you. I just hope that once everything is settled, you will deliver the Junior Master's soul shard as promised."

The corners of Qian Ji's lips immediately revealed a smile: "Naturally. As long as you help me with three favors, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

Shi Nian nodded: "The Demon World, do we set off now?"
