Chapter 132 The Celestial Artifact Mirror

Chapter 132 The Celestial Artifact Mirror

When Lou Yuqing was wrapped in the black thread, she resisted fiercely, but it was no use, and she was instantly trapped in the black cocoon.

From the outside, it might look a bit like a ball of yarn?

Lou Yuqing tried to find some humor in her predicament, quickly clearing her mind of all distractions and focusing on her current situation.

Her hands and feet were tightly bound, rendering her immobile. Her vision was completely black, and when she tried to extend her consciousness, it was bounced back.

Fortunately, the black lines haven't caused any harm so far. She thought she would be swallowed up, but she wasn't, which gave her a little sense of security.

Let's go back to the beginning. How did she get to this place? Was it the deer that did it? No, it meant her no harm, and perhaps it didn't even know what had happened.

She rarely left the sect, except for the time when she was sent to collect offerings, where she helped eliminate the spies of the Black Demon Cult.

Could they be members of the Black Demon Cult? Are they looking for someone to vent their anger because the Demon Tide Plan was thwarted?

No, if it were them, they could have killed her long ago.

Lou Yuqing pondered deeply, her expression troubled.

She was a kind-hearted, easygoing person, with neither enemies nor adversaries...

Suddenly, Lou Yuqing paused, muttering to herself, "They might be after the system, since the previous bad luck caused it to crash."

Just then, she felt a burning sensation, which seemed to be fire approaching the black cocoon.

In addition to black, she also saw red, which made her happy but also aroused her vigilance.

Through the tiny hole burned into the black cocoon by the flames, she saw a white space, with a ball of multicolored light floating in mid-air, expanding and contracting erratically.

Lou Yuqing was stunned for a moment; she seemed to see facial features in the ball of light.

The flames spread along the cave entrance, like a large net, burning the black cocoon to ashes.

Lou Yuqing felt a sense of lightness over her body and regained her freedom, but she did not leave this space. Her eyes swept over the ball of light with apprehension, trying to find some clues.

Should we attack it?

It's best not to.

Lou Yuqing's pupils contracted, and she reflexively wanted to cast a spell. Her consciousness detected the familiarity of the voice before her body could react, and she asked incredulously, "You're the system?"

The ball of light drifted over, and the mechanical voice softened.

It's me.

However, I prefer you to call me Tianjian (Heavenly Mirror).

Heaven's judgment?

Isn't this a gossip-eating system?

Lou Yuqing opened her mouth, wanting to ask a series of questions, but finally asked the one she cared about most first: "Can you hear my thoughts?"

Don't be afraid. Only in this space can I temporarily prevent you from hearing your previous thoughts.

Lou Yuqing said sternly, "Not now!"

Follow your will

The ball of light nodded in a human-like manner.

Lou Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that it had some sense.

The next moment, the ball of light uttered something astonishing.

Actually, having your true feelings heard is something you're used to; you don't need to make a fuss about it.

Lou Yuqing: "..."

"Can I take this literally and mean that you think someone often hears what I'm thinking?" she asked, taking a deep breath.

【Yes】

Its voice is light and lively; it makes you want to punch it.

Lou Yuqing remained expressionless: "You're behind this?"

While you're observing the drama unfolding within the system, they'll hear your inner thoughts being broadcast.

The system panel slowly unfolded, revealing the hidden text at the bottom.

—List of onlookers.

Lou Yuqing: "..."

She suddenly realized that everyone's reactions were so strange, and it wasn't a coincidence, but rather that everyone was cooperating with her.

The society is dead, and the fists are hardened.

"You stopped them from speaking?" she gritted her teeth.

Otherwise, if so many people hear your thoughts, someone will inevitably ask questions.

She believed the system definitely had the power to silence her.

You changed the fate of many people, and they are all grateful to you. Without you, things would have been terribly worse.

As the light and sound rang out, a series of images filled the entire space, depicting the original fate of everyone.

Lou Yuqing's gaze froze instantly.

Elder Kui Tu went to the Netherworld Sea to pick Netherworld Flowers for his disciples, but unfortunately perished; Captain Kui's Dao heart was shattered and he became a cripple because of his vampire family; the sect leader's daughter, Song Li, died in the Snake Cave and her identity was replaced by a fake heiress.

Shi Xiuxiu was exploited and drained of her life by a scumbag boyfriend, leaving her childless; Nangong Wen was tricked to death by the young city lord of Tianxing City; Chen Mujian was hunted down to death by his own second uncle; Nangong Ying was poisoned by a Gu curse and fell into the demonic path.

Ruan Qingzhu and Yuan Shenxing died in the explosion of the Thunderfire Pearl, perishing together with the spirit beast dealer. Who would have thought that they would now have a beautiful marriage?

Elder Shi Hua and the Medical Saint secretly love each other, but unfortunately, the former is severely weakened by the death of her natal spirit beast, while the latter loses his hands and spirit after being destroyed while working undercover.

Elder Hongyan and Elder Wushuang were a pair of star-crossed lovers. The former held onto the hope that her Daoist partner would eventually return, but little did she know that the latter had quietly died near her mountain peak.

Many people have also experienced positive changes in their lives because of her voice, and no longer have regrets.

Lou Yuqing fell silent. The system knew how to comfort people, and the shame in her heart gradually dissipated.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked in return, "Your purpose is to save them?"

Since binding herself to the system, she naturally accepted its existence without much suspicion, as if subconsciously she felt it was benevolent.

Looking back now, it seems a bit unbelievable.

The ball of light flickered, giving a reply.

I'm here to save this world.

Lou Yuqing slowly typed a question mark: "?"

Although it's a bit complicated to explain, I have to tell you the truth, since you are the temporary master of the Heavenly Mirror, and we will need your help in the future.

First of all, I want to apologize for misleading you about your memories and feelings.

Because you are the one prophesied by Heaven to save us from the crisis, I have to put on a disguise to avoid being discovered by that guy.

The ball of light sighed.

Lou Yuqing felt her brain explode, and the fog in the depths of her memory completely dissipated, presenting all the scenes from the time she could remember until now.

She clutched her aching head, her face a jumble of emotions—happy for the original owner's happiness, sad for the original owner's sadness, angry for the original owner's anger…

At this moment, she is the original owner of this body.

Or rather, she was the original owner of this body!

Lou Yuqing suddenly opened her eyes: "Tianjian, I am her, right?"

The ball of light bobbing up and down indicates affirmation.

So, she was the one who lost both parents, she was the one who was scared to death by a tiger, and she was the one who was engaged to the Nan family... No, she doesn't remember any of that!

The Lou family and the Nan family had long since severed ties. How could the Nan family suddenly come to propose an engagement? Had her previous memories become disordered?

Lou Yuqing sensed something was amiss, suppressed her urge to punch the system, and bombarded her with questions: "I have no engagement with the Nan family, so why did Nan Gan come to annul the engagement? Did that bad luck affect you? What do you mean by 'temporary master'? Are you sure I can avert this crisis?"

Lou Yuqing was very self-aware. Although she was not weak, she was not strong either, unless she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage or even the higher Divine Transformation stage one day.

【You have many questions, but they all relate to that guy. First, let me formally introduce myself. I am the spirit of the Celestial Artifact Mirror.】

It's not a high-tech product, but a spirit within a device?

Lou Yuqing was somewhat taken aback, but upon closer reflection, it made perfect sense, as the system's intelligence had always been very high.

[Immortal artifacts are born in a higher plane of the human realm. You will arrive in that world after your ascension. All treasures of the immortal artifact level possess the power of laws.]

The rule, yet another knowledge point that exceeds the limit.

Lou Yuqing silently noted it down, without interrupting Tianjian's explanation.

I possess two major laws: retrospection and prophecy. I know the past and foresee the future. Strictly speaking, this belongs to a branch of the laws of time.

Using the power of laws to list everyone's secrets is, in a way, a waste of talent, Lou Yuqing thought to herself.

In a great battle, my original body was shattered into seventeen fragments scattered across various lower realms, one of which fell into your plane.

If even a fragment is this powerful, how strong must the original body be?

Lou Yuqing seemed to be deep in thought; the power of the laws was even more unfathomable than she had imagined.

Through deduction, I attempted to return to the upper realm, but inadvertently discovered a despicable individual stealing my destiny. If this is allowed to succeed, the world will ultimately be destroyed.

Perhaps feeling that words were not convincing enough, Tianjian manifested a scene that resembled the end of the world.

A vast expanse of black demonic energy swirled in the sky, while blood-red raindrops dripped from the clouds, each drop corroding a small pit upon hitting the ground.

Everywhere you look, there are collapsed buildings, palaces turned into ruins, pavilions turned into fragments, and corpses dressed in blue robes appear in every corner.

Lou Yuqing's heart skipped a beat. It was the attire of the disciples of the Wendao Sect. Their bodies were eerily shriveled, like skeletons covered in skin, as if their flesh and blood had been drained.

Under the relentless scouring of the blood rain, the corpses became pitted and uneven, like tattered rag dolls.

The Hall of Law Enforcement, the Hall of External Affairs, the Hall of Contribution, the Spirit Beast Garden, the Spirit Plant Garden, the Medical Hall, the Dining Hall... all these places have vanished, leaving only broken corpses.

She saw many familiar faces, including Sect Leader Qingxuzi and everyone else, whether they were Nascent Soul elders or Qi Refining disciples, they were all dead.

Senior sister is dead, Captain Wei is dead.

Master is dead, and Ling Yunxiao is dead too.

Their bodies were washed away by the rain of blood, and they were not even properly buried after they died.

Impossible! No way!

Lou Yuqing seemed to be greatly stimulated and raised her hand to release an attack spell, but when the lightning passed through the light screen, she suddenly realized that it was just an illusion.

"Will the future really be like this?" Her throat tightened, and her bloodshot eyes stared at the ball of light.

Tianjian removed the light screen and calmly said.

The invaders of Wendao Sect were from the Demon Realm of the higher plane. Their strength was suppressed by the power of the plane, but they could almost crush cultivators of the lower plane at the same level.

The Wendao Sect is the base from which the demon realm descends, namely the Spirit Descent Tower. After slaughtering the sect's cultivators, their influence will spread in a circular pattern across the entire continent.

Lou Yuqing's emotions, which had been suppressed to the extreme, rebounded and made her extremely calm: "Then destroy the Spirit Summoning Tower so that they cannot descend to the mortal realm!"

It's too late. That guy has been planning this for a long time, and his goal is to open the passage to the Demon Realm.

[If that guy weren't inherently weak, he wouldn't have resorted to such roundabout schemes to secretly absorb the fortune of the Wendao Sect.]

Although I used you to spread my thoughts and prevent the Wendao Sect's fortune from dissipating, this also attracted its attention, and it attacked me with its power of misfortune.

It thinks I'm dead now, but I'm just lying low for now.

The Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm are irreconcilable enemies. I cannot allow that guy to pry open the passage and give the Demon Realm the opportunity to invade the lower planes belonging to the Celestial Realm.

"Who is that guy?"

Tianjian had previously stated that he needed her help.

She figured it was about dealing with the other person, though she didn't know how she could help.

The ball of light nodded in satisfaction.

A phantom figure appeared, wearing a dark blue robe and with scorched hair.

Lou Yuqing exclaimed in shock, "It's him!"

The mysterious person who stole Yuan Shenxing's luck!

Suddenly, the clues connected.

The system's initial reluctance to display his information was not due to ignorance of his background, but rather a deliberate concealment to avoid alerting him.

No, it's not a person.
