Chapter 571 Clear Division of System Labor
Tianjian Continent, where the old city once stood.
Chu Yuan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Jin Yu, standing in front of him, nodding and bowing like a little brother.
"What, have you resolved your matter?"
Chu Yuan spoke up, asking a question.
"All resolved, all resolved. I just sensed the anomaly here and guessed it was Senior, so I hurried over."
Jin Yu replied respectfully.
He didn't dare mention the incidents he encountered in the Divinity Continent.
In his view, those incidents were too embarrassing.
He was too ashamed to even speak of them.
Chased around like a dog.
He could only say that everything was resolved.
"Hmm, the commotion here was indeed caused by me. The city is gone, and the humans here have lost their protection. Ultimately, this matter is related to me. Could you possibly arrange for these humans on my behalf?"
Chu Yuan asked softly.
"Arrange for these humans?"
Jin Yu turned to glance at the humans, most of whom were Mortals with only a few Cultivators among them, their Cultivation Levels as weak as whatever.
Basically, they were all Mortals.
The combat strength of the Human Race on Tianjian Continent had long been depleted.
These people were merely clinging to life.
To provide protection...
That was indeed somewhat troublesome.
However, it was a task assigned by the Senior.
Even if it was troublesome, he had to accept it.
"All right! Senior, I will do everything in my power to protect them!"
Jin Yu nodded, agreeing to the task.
"Good, since you've agreed, I will not let your agreement be in vain. Let's say I owe you a favor. If you ever need anything, and I am still around, you can contact me."
Chu Yuan promised with a satisfied smile.
If he could turn his fortunes around with the help of the System,
and become a true big shot in the future,
giving Jin Yu a little lift wouldn't be out of the question.
"Then, I thank you, Senior!"
Jin Yu's face brightened, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
"If there's nothing else, you may take the humans and leave. I still have other matters to attend to here,"
Chu Yuan said, waving his hand.
"Okay, then Senior, I will now..."
Jin Yu had not finished speaking.
His gaze suddenly shifted to Li Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged behind Chu Yuan, and he paused in surprise.
"Senior, who is this person?"
Jin Yu asked with a hint of curiosity.
"This is my Disciple, named Li Cheng. Right, take my Disciple with you as well, and ensure his protection. Can you guarantee the safety of my Disciple?"
Chu Yuan spoke up as if he had just remembered Li Cheng, speaking rapidly.
He certainly couldn't keep watch over him all the time.
After all, he still needed to continue searching for Disciples.
Being taught by the System and being granted Realms for free is a rare opportunity.
Gathering more Realms would certainly be best.
"This is your Disciple?"
Jin Yu looked at Li Cheng cautiously, trying to discern what made Chu Yuan's Disciple so extraordinary.
But no matter how much he looked, he couldn't see anything special.
This person...
seemed like an utterly ordinary Mortal.
"Stop looking, he's just an ordinary person now, but as my Disciple, he will surely become the strongest in the future,"
Chu Yuan said, catching the look in Jin Yu's eyes and couldn't help but make a boastful remark.
It was a bit of a proud boast.
He intended for his Disciple to improve, but in front of others, it was necessary to boast a little.
After all, there was nothing to fear in praising his Disciple if the Disciple wasn't going to succeed anyway.
Upon hearing this, Jin Yu gave Li Cheng a deep look, without the slightest doubt about Chu Yuan's words.
Seeing this scene.
Chu Yuan immediately had Jin Yu take action, leading the remaining members of the Human Race and Li Cheng away.
He also needed to tidy up, ready to leave as well.
Jin Yu nodded in agreement, directly manifesting his true form of the Golden-Winged Dapeng, seizing the Human Race members and Li Cheng and flying towards the territory of the Golden-winged Dapeng clan.
Chu Yuan watched silently as Jin Yu left.
Before leaving, he used the System to probe again, scanning Li Cheng one more time, wanting to confirm whether Li Cheng was indeed beyond saving.
Chu Yuan stood there, gaze fixed on a deep blue screen in front of him.
[Probing target: Li Cheng]
[Race: ???]
[Cultivation Levels: ???]
[Physique: Destiny's Body (His actual city body carries great causality and fortune; as the city takes form, it naturally carries destiny, impervious to tens of thousands of calamities, untouched by all laws)]
[Background: Body of Great Causality]
[Assessment: This disciple stands out from the ordinary, with remarkable talent. He possesses great causality; neither heaven nor earth can destroy him. He has an extremely high chance of becoming successful. The host is advised not to take him as a pupil.]
Chu Yuan: "?"
Is the System playing me, or is it really playing me?
This System probing says he'll be successful.
The teaching mode over there says he's a lost cause.
Has the System developed schizophrenia? Or is the division of labor clear-cut?
Chu Yuan took a deep breath and silently called out to the teaching mode on the other side, hoping it could give him an explanation.
With his call,
a screen of the System suddenly flickered into existence.
[Please, host, do not doubt the System's teaching mode, you can rest assured about the System's actions.]
[Regarding the questions posed by the host, all originate from the System's probing. According to the teaching mode's testing, the System's probing is not accurate. Please do not believe the nonsense of other modes.]
He had actually hit the nail on the head.
This System has a clear division of labor, with the teaching mode having its way of functioning, and probing having another.
Could it be that when drawing conclusions, other modes are also operating?
Chu Yuan's mouth twitched, unsure of how to comment on his own System.
It was like the left hand talking smack about the right foot?
"Truly bizarre."
Chu Yuan muttered, shutting down the System.
He had intended to fly away into the sky.
But suddenly it occurred to him that with the System being so odd, he might as well try the Divination Tube.
Thinking so, Chu Yuan took out his Divination Tube.
He posed his question to the Firmament.
Soon, a divination slip flew out.
Chu Yuan extended his hand to beckon, and the divination slip was pulled to him through the air.
'In the sky lies Zhao'an City, not of the mortal realm'
Chu Yuan: "?"
What does this mean?
Chu Yuan was totally confused, feeling that Li Cheng's background seemed immensely significant.
The Divination Tube offered a phrase.
It was rather vague,
but not difficult to discern.
It seemed to say that Li Cheng's origins were remarkably significant.
Coupled with the System's probing, it also mentioned some great causality associated with Li Cheng.
From this information, it was easy to conclude that Li Cheng was no simple character.
Yet the System's teaching mode, insisted on guaranteeing that this disciple was doomed to failure.
And the teaching mode made sense too.
It aimed to fundamentally bring about failure, with a high chance of doing so.
So...
Let's still trust the teaching mode then.
The teaching mode just appeared and should be somewhat reliable.
Chu Yuan touched his chin, only to grasp at air, for an ethereal body has no chin.
He shook his head.
He pushed down the myriad thoughts crowding his mind.
With a move, he flew towards the Firmament, his speed incredibly fast, and in an instant, he had vanished into the horizon…
