A higher-dimensional world!
Qi Xia leaned against the sycamore tree in the Eternal Little World, her fingertips twirling starlight as she murmured to herself:
"The ancient beings of the divine realm would never find this place, would they? This little world is even harder to find than a hidden quest!"
What are you hiding?
Nuwa's voice suddenly boomed, causing the leaves to fall in a rustling sound:
"The spiritual light and peach blossom fragrance of your little world can be clearly sensed even in the realm of gods! It's more perceptive than a pop-up ad; there's no escaping it!"
Qi Xia's hand trembled, scattering starlight across the ground, and he instantly stood up straight:
"Great Goddess Nuwa! Did the fragrance of my peach blossoms attract you here?"
Nuwa handed over the gleaming golden seal, her tone calm:
"I hereby appoint you as the God of Games. Ascend immediately, and don't dawdle."
"I'm creating this mini-world, not a game GM!"
Qi Xia hurriedly waved his hand:
"Managing the peach trees is worse than managing the players; the peaches they bear can be eaten as snacks!"
Nuwa raised an eyebrow and pointed to the peach grove, her tone threatening:
"If you don't agree, we'll just demolish the small world, uproot all the peach trees, and plant stones instead."
Qi Xia immediately cowered and snatched the golden seal, following behind while constantly looking back:
"Ascension! I'm ascending! But don't touch my peach grove!"
"The peach orchard is more important than my life; destroying the peach orchard is worse than killing me!"
Years later, Qi Xia squatted at the entrance of the Pangu Temple, eating a peach and throwing peach pits all over the ground.
Pangu patted him on the shoulder:
"Xiao Qi, can you do me a favor?"
Qi Xia spat out the peach pit and took a half step back, saying warily:
"Let's make it clear first, no moving stones! Last time I moved the Sky-Mending Stone, I almost broke my back, and I still have the aftereffects of moving stones!"
Pangu handed over the animal hide, his tone seductive:
"Help me design a cycle game to select an heir, and I'll add 100 points in the Divine Realm, enough to buy ten baskets of top-grade peach seedlings."
"make a deal!"
Qi Xia's eyes lit up, and she picked up her brush to start drawing, a mischievous smile playing on her lips:
The pen paused, and his smile became even more sly:
"The answer is hidden in my little world. If I find it, great job! If I don't, I'll just keep looping until I'm satisfied!"
The scene abruptly shifts to a lower-dimensional world.
Mo Jiuxiao jerked his wrist violently, the Reincarnation Mark on his wrist burning him so badly he gasped and grimaced in pain:
"This broken seal is incredibly hot, it's like it's going to roast me! Even a roasted sweet potato isn't this hot, it's almost cooking my skin!"
Su Chenbi approached carrying a medicine cup, her silver needle pouch jingling, her tone a mixture of disgust and concern:
"If it hurts, just yell. Don't pretend to be tough. No matter how well you pretend, your hand won't get better on its own!"
"Me, pretend?"
Mo Jiuxiao retorted, his neck stiff:
"Last time I dismantled all three of the system's clones until there wasn't even a fragment left!"
[Squeak—Hello, host!]
The system voice suddenly sounded sweet and cloying:
[A thoughtful system is now online, providing task announcements, emotional support, and elimination alerts – your satisfaction is guaranteed!]
Su Chenbi laughed so hard his shoulders shook:
"It seems the system is afraid you're bragging, so it quickly popped up to make its presence known, afraid you'll forget its 'deterrent power'!"
The system instantly turned cold:
"Time-limited mission: Assassinate the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. Countdown: 35 minutes. If the time limit is exceeded, the elimination program will be activated, and there will be no chance of resurrection."
Mo Jiuxiao's smile froze instantly. He let out a cold laugh, his tone full of sarcasm:
"The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley? His junior brother even tied me up yesterday to test his new drug 'Smiling Half-Step Madness,' which has made me walk a little unsteadily now!"
"You want me to kill his senior brother? Is this my way of avenging the 'straight leg injury'?"
"Warning! Host's emotions are fluctuating too much. Soothing program activated. Playing a divine lullaby. Do you wish to listen?"
The system said.
Mo Jiuxiao smashed the ancient tree open with a punch, and the runes inside the bark instantly lit up:
"Soothe me my foot! Last time I destroyed three of your clones, and now you've learned to plant landmines? You think I can't find them?"
"Failure to perform the mission will result in annihilation; there is no room for negotiation."
The system's mechanical voice was devoid of emotion.
Mo Jiuxiao roared and raised his hand to chop the runes, but Su Chenbi pressed down on his wrist pulse point:
"My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of broken code!"
Su Chenbi gently traced the Reincarnation Seal with her fingertips:
"Don't act impulsively."
Mo Jiuxiao's vision went black, and the scene flashed back—
As a boy, he knelt outside the alchemy room, clutching a moldy cake and roaring:
"This medicine can kill people, I won't try it! You can't treat human lives like this!"
Su Chenbi withdrew his hand, revealing a tattered page and a knotted rope in his palm:
"You saw the first life again? The fragment says that the reincarnator is missing a soul. This knot was tied to my hand by you in your first life. What you lack is the memory of the truth, not soul power."
The bell suddenly rang loudly, and the system screamed:
"10 seconds until the forbidden area opens! 10, 9, 8..."
Mo Jiuxiao's eyes narrowed, and he pulled Su Chenbi away:
"Let's go! Whether it's the truth or a trap, we have to find out this time!"
As the two stepped into the thick fog of the forbidden area, Su Chenbi suddenly grabbed him:
"Wait! There are words on the back of the torn page, which were previously hidden by the knot of straw rope!"
The blood-red lettering was glaring and eye-catching:
"In the ninth life, the 'Tears of the Anchor' broke the deadlock."
A faint light shimmered at her fingertips, and a single silver tear hung in her palm:
"This is the Tear of the Anchor Point, which has been hidden in my Reincarnation Seal without being discovered."
Mo Jiuxiao's mind lit up, and he instantly understood the key point:
"So all those nine reincarnations were foreshadowing! They're even more intricate than the system's plot, and they were hidden way too well!"
Su Chenbi lowered his voice and looked warily into the depths of the thick fog:
"He's here."
A mysterious figure emerged from the center of the rune, clutching a black fragment and sneering:
"Mo Jiuxiao, nine lifetimes have passed, and you're still so slow. You haven't even touched the edge of the truth."
Mo Jiuxiao drew his sword, its blade gleaming fiercely.
"Stop dawdling and get started. I still need to go back and eat some chive dumplings."
The mysterious man clapped three times, and the system's tone changed with an electric current:
"Anchor Tear detected... Verification failed! Initiating ultimate erasure procedure!"
The mysterious figure waved his hand, and a blinding beam of light crashed down—
Mo Jiuxiao's Samsara Seal on his wrist suddenly burst out with a strong light, instantly blocking the beam of light!
When the intense light shattered the beam, it brushed open the corner of the mysterious man's clothes, revealing the strikingly red character "齐" embroidered inside!
A blinding light enveloped the two, drawing them into a spatial rift, as a mysterious figure's mocking chuckle drifted over:
"Failed again. Try harder next time, don't keep me waiting too long!"
In the darkness, Su Chenbi gripped his hand tightly:
"It's okay, no matter how many times we reincarnate, I'll be with you."
Mo Jiuxiao's eyes gleamed with golden light as he laughed arrogantly:
"Next time it's my turn to strategize, and I'll see who's using us as pawns behind our backs!"
[Urgent System Alert! The host is attempting to overturn the table! This violates the rules of reincarnation and is about to be activated...]
Mo Jiuxiao interrupted it, turned to look at Su Chenbi, his eyes extremely serious:
"Just kidding. But next time, we need to find the person with the 'Qi' mark first; he's definitely the mastermind!"
Su Chenbi nodded and squeezed his hand back, conveying warmth:
"Okay, no matter where he's hiding, we'll find him."
The system was silent for two seconds before uttering a helpless complaint:
"...Host, can you please stop trying to cause trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just focus on completing the reincarnation mission? You're even more troublesome than the system!"
The next chapter is incredibly painful: The pain of rebuilding shattered bones is so intense it's like biting into wood!
