HAGLTP Chapter 71

With the help of the divine, Mo Yi’s advancement in the system was rapid, gradually approaching the top 1 position, and then long occupying this place.

Under their deliberate manipulation, the main system’s encroachment on other worlds began to slow down, but it did not suspect Mo Yi.

The sub-system residing in Mo Yi had already been cracked, and the data returned was all normal.

No matter how you looked at it, he appeared to be the most outstanding pawn in completing the mission.

Finally, they found an opportunity to infiltrate the main system’s world.

Unlike ordinary worlds, the main system’s world is composed of many small worlds linked together, each world interconnected, sharing the rules and powers of the fast-travel worlds beyond the original world rules.

In the void of darkness, small worlds were connected by root-like structures, which were extending outward, drawing from other worlds, as if an ugly parasite was laying eggs.

“Mm?” The observing deity suddenly made a sound of interest.

“What did you discover?”

“You mentioned that your world is a fast-travel world, right?”

“Yes, is there something wrong with that?”

“It is a fast-travel world, but it is different from ordinary fast-travel.”

At this point, the deity’s ethereal form appeared in the air, pointing at several worlds connected by roots.

“They possess similar powers of rules.”

It switched sides: “Moreover, they all resemble a part of the main system’s world.”

Mo Yi followed its gesture and indeed found worlds that looked very similar, but the world belonging to the main system was vibrant, while those being drained of power appeared decayed and dispirited.

“Why is that?”

“Do you remember when we entered a world where the protagonist was a novelist? In that world, there was the concept of fan fiction, which was quite popular.”

The deity brought Mo Yi to hover above several entangled worlds.

Looking down, the rules of these worlds were very similar, but there were distinctions in strength, like a complete world and its replica.

Most surprisingly, even after absorbing so many similar worlds, the small worlds of the main system were still not the strongest in terms of rule power.

Mo Yi seemed to understand: “The main system’s world is a fan fiction fast-travel world, and each of its worlds is based on originally independent novels, so the power of the rules is not as strong as the originals.”

“So, in order to strengthen itself, its first choice is the original works of each world and other fan fictions.”

“Exactly.” The deity nodded, expressing approval for its servant’s intelligence, thus saving itself the trouble of explaining.

Mo Yi looked at those fan fiction worlds that had mostly turned to scorched earth, as well as the precarious original worlds, and couldn’t help but frown.

“But if that’s the case, it has almost drained the power of the originals, and even absorbed quite a few fan fiction worlds; each small world is almost equivalent to a complete world.”

“Not quite, it has also extended its tendrils toward more unrelated worlds. Although the rules are different, the absorbed power is still strengthening these worlds, making them stronger than ordinary worlds.”

And it wasn’t just one small world like this; all the main system worlds had been enhanced in the same way.

In other words, to eliminate the main system, one would need to contend with the rule powers of over a dozen worlds.

Mo Yi originally thought that finding a strong pillar from another world would be enough to counter the main system, but now the main system’s strength exceeded his original expectations.

He even felt a bit regretful for wishing to the seemingly reckless yet actually easy-going deity.

He shouldn’t have dragged it into the mire.

A cold finger lifted his chin, and Mo Yi raised his head, his gaze colliding with those jewel-like deep green eyes.

“My loyal servant, what’s wrong with you? Why do you once again show such a guilty expression?” The deity floated in the air, tilting its head to observe him, and after a long journey, there was a hint of human warmth in its demeanor.

“Are you regretting letting me fulfill your wish?” The deity’s exquisite face leaned closer, seemingly wanting to capture Mo Yi’s expression at this moment.

Mo Yi’s heart raced uncontrollably, as if he were once again submerged in an endless deep sea, struggling in confusion, unable to find a place to support himself.

He clearly knew that the deity’s perception of the world did not rely on sight; the sudden closeness was merely a playful whim, wanting to see him flustered and uneasy.

Yet he still couldn’t control his heartbeat.

A smile appeared on the deity’s face as it maliciously leaned closer to its helpless servant, gently blowing a breath into his ear.

Mo Yi instinctively tensed up, almost trembling.

In an instant, it felt as if a spark had brightly and fervently crossed his heart.

However, at that moment, he did not understand what this feeling was called.

Before Mo Yi could clarify the feeling that had suddenly crossed his mind, the deity, having had enough fun teasing its servant, released its hand and resumed observing the main system world, which resembled some kind of disgusting parasite eggs.

A wisp of green mist emanated from the deity’s fingertips, quietly drifting toward the small worlds below.

Soon, it clearly saw that these small worlds seemed to have an invisible shell on their surface, resisting the intrusion of the mist with all their might.

“The defenses are quite thorough; no wonder they are often involved in breaking and entering.”

Having experienced many worlds with Mo Yi, the deity’s vocabulary had also expanded, even mastering legal terms like breaking and entering.

“It seems we need to use another method.” The deity lightly tapped its chin with its fingertip, mimicking a human gesture of thought, completely unconcerned that its sharp nails looked capable of piercing skin.

Facing a powerful enemy, its eyes were filled with the joy of finding treasure.

As a deity with a strong curiosity, it was actually very eager to explore and challenge the unknown, but in the original world, everything was too familiar to it, to the point of boredom.

Fortunately, this amusing servant had suddenly intruded into its world.

And brought it a vast playground.

Thinking of this, the deity raised its hand and stroked Mo Yi’s hair.

At this moment, the two were outside the main system world, and Mo Yi rarely revealed his true self. As the protagonist of the plot, the author who created the world seemed to have poured all flattering words onto him, sketching out a face that was unforgettable once seen.

Cool and reserved, with measured demeanor, he stood among the stars without losing an ounce of grace.

Unfortunately, at this moment, he was being skillfully patted on the head by the deity.

With a helpless glance at the deity, who was lost in thought, Mo Yi silently sighed in his heart, allowing the other party to act.

“I have an idea, but it requires your cooperation.” The deity broke free from its thoughts, playfully using its fingers to smooth out Mo Yi’s somewhat messy hair.

“What do you want me to do?”

“I want the main system to discover your betrayal.” The deity gazed at its servant, observing his reaction.

Mo Yi was somewhat surprised but did not show any disappointment or fear; he simply continued to ask, “What does this have to do with your plan?”

The deity toyed with the silky black hair at its fingertips: “You are the protagonist in its world, and also a very powerful pawn. Even if you are tempted by the power of another world to betray, it would not easily kill you.”

“I will control the degree to ensure it discovers it without being overly enraged.”

“In my predicted future, there is an eighty percent chance it will punish you by making you an observer, forcing you, who originally wanted to betray, to become its accomplice and endure the torment of guilt.”

Mo Yi: “What about the other twenty percent?”

“To make you a cannon fodder, tormenting your consciousness through repeated involuntary deaths. Or completely erase your memory, reprogram your way of thinking, turning you into a well-behaved puppet.”

“Or it might directly erase you.”

“That sounds really dangerous.” Mo Yi said this, yet there was no expression of resistance on his face.

“Aren’t you afraid?” The deity inquired of its servant.

Mo Yi gazed into those inhuman green eyes and respectfully replied, “I am your servant, so I should fully support my master’s plan.”

“Even if I might treat you as a discarded piece?”

“It is a greedy fellow that will prefer methods with greater benefits, even punishing betrayers. So I trust your deduction.”

The deity seemed very pleased with his answer, rewarding him by patting Mo Yi’s head again, continuing to speak of its plan.

“The strongest fortress often begins to crumble from within.”

“I will take advantage of its capture of you to enter the system in the guise of an actor. At that time, I will lock my memories to avoid being discovered.”

“And you need to quietly guide me, allowing me to perceive everything.”

“Does this mean I have earned your trust?” Mo Yi’s lips curled into a faint smile.

“Do not presume to understand the will of the divine, my humble servant.” The deity ruffled its own hair, which it had just tidied.

In the temple filled with green mist.

The deity opened its eyes.

In the next moment, Cui Yunjin’s body appeared in the temple. The mist enveloped him entirely, roughly pulling Mo Yi, who was hidden within, out of the shell.

“My servant, you are doing well…” The deity’s voice seemed to be laced with frost.

Having fun with the upper hand, huh?

Having entered a world where the protagonist was the author, the deity, well-read and familiar with various CP modes, quickly found the most suitable description for the previous situation.
