Having no other choice, the light shadow had to tell the truth.
"Everyone in the world knows that the Dragon Clan disappeared from the Nine Desolate Continent tens of thousands of years ago. Actually, that's not the case."
"Our clan was brutally massacred by the Demon Clan and the Human Clan for some reasons. However, our souls have been wandering in the world, indestructible and never fading away, forever recalling the pain of the clan's extinction."
"When the Dragon Clan was exterminated, Han Ze was undergoing inheritance, so he managed to escape. He gathered our remaining souls and nourished them with secret techniques, allowing us to survive in the form of soul bodies."
"As for why we claim to be systems, it's because Han Ze noticed some extraterrestrial objects that call themselves systems. They are omnipotent and can even bring souls from other worlds through complex spaces to here."
"To conceal the fact that the Dragon Clan still exists in the form of soul bodies, Han Ze asked us to call ourselves systems to deceive the Heavenly Dao."
On the surface, Shen Qing still looked calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
No wonder when she was reborn and looked back on everything in her previous life, she didn't find any traces of other systems.
It was because her rebirth had changed the trajectory of this life, thus uncovering the truth hidden beneath the surface.
The Heavenly Dao in this world has its own operating rules. The Dragon Clan was born in accordance with the heaven and earth, but disappeared between the heaven and earth under the schemes of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan. Maybe this was allowed by the Heavenly Dao.
Perhaps it was because the Heavenly Dao had sensed something that it chose to turn a blind eye to the extinction of the Dragon Clan.
However, in order to continue to survive, the Dragon Clan came up with this method to deceive the Heavenly Dao.
After all, the Heavenly Dao can tolerate extraterrestrial objects but not the existence of the Dragon Clan.
Actually, Shen Qing couldn't really figure out according to what rules the Heavenly Dao operated. Sometimes she didn't agree with the actions of the Heavenly Dao either. But practitioners were supposed to go against the Heavenly Dao and fight against it in order to live as long as the heaven and earth and reach the same height as them.
So, regarding the Heavenly Dao's actions that sometimes threatened her, such as the thunder tribulation that could scorch people, Shen Qing never cared. Because as long as she was powerful enough, the laws of heaven and earth would no longer be able to restrict her.
After calming down for a while, Shen Qing endured the surging emotions and asked, "So, you members of the Dragon Clan parasitize in other people's minds in the form of systems and then let those so - called hosts complete your tasks according to Han Ze's instructions, right?"
The light shadow nodded repeatedly. "Yes! Han Ze said that only by doing so could the Dragon Clan reappear in the world. We are all trying to save our own clan."
Shen Qing and Li Xian glanced at each other. Although they couldn't be sure whether what the light shadow said was true or false, Shen Qing was inclined to believe it in her heart.
The mystery that had troubled her for so long was finally solved. There was only one system from another world, and the rest were all transformed from the Dragon Clan.
"Han Ze really went to great lengths to deceive the Heavenly Dao."
"So Han Ze spent so much time setting up such a grand plan. What's your next step? How exactly are you going to make the Dragon Clan reappear in the world?"
The light shadow paused, as if hesitating whether to say it or not. If it didn't say, it would die. If it did, it might also die.
After thinking for a moment, the light shadow said, "I can tell you, but you must let me out now. If not, I'll take this secret to my grave. It's not in vain for me to be a member of the Dragon Clan."
"Oh, then go and die."
Hearing this, Shen Qing turned around without mercy and walked away. Then she gave Li Xian a look.
Li Xian understood and immediately walked to the scarecrow again and injected a ray of spiritual power. The scarecrow's head lifted slightly, and its eyes regained the murderous look from before.
All five crystal stones glowed. Lin Yibai and the light shadow began to feel the burning pain of their souls again.
This time, when the formation was activated, Shen Qing didn't intend to stop it. So she leisurely took out some melon seeds and sat beside the formation with Li Xian. While watching the people inside suffer the burning pain, they cracked the melon seeds.
"Aaaaah! You won't even negotiate at all!! I think we can still talk this over."
Smoke had begun to appear from the soul of the light shadow, as if it was on fire.
It knew that Shen Qing was serious this time and immediately relented, saying that they could discuss conditions.
Shen Qing spat out the melon - seed shell. "It's too late... Pfft... I was being nice to you just now... Pfft... You should have cooperated... Pfft... Making me seem like I have a really good temper..."
Li Xian also chimed in as if she thought the matter wasn't big enough. "You're just being pushy... Pfft... Look at the situation you're in! Still trying to threaten others... Pfft..."
The sound of the two of them cracking melon seeds came one after another, irritating the light shadow. It angrily rammed into the formation but was always bounced back.
"Stop struggling... Pfft... This Ten - Thousand - Doom Formation has twenty - eight layers of barriers. No matter how hard you ram, you won't be able to break through."
Shen Qing somewhat admired the senior who had been heartbroken by the scumbag senior brother. The method of drawing the formation was passed down from ancient times and had been modified by great experts generation after generation to become what it was today.
But that senior was able to modify this Ten - Thousand - Doom Formation in a short period of time, making it difficult for those trapped in the formation to break free easily and also convenient for the person who activated the formation.
If that senior were still alive, he or she should have become a remarkable formation expert by now.
Hearing the ramming sound of the light shadow beside her, Lin Yibai showed a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, her soul was being burned. This pain, which was even more profound than physical torture, had made her lie on the ground unable to move.
She hated Shen Qing! She loathed Shen Qing!
But she was trapped in the formation by Shen Qing and was facing the situation of being killed by her again.
She had been praised too highly by Ji Chengming and was too arrogant. She thought she could successfully take revenge, but in the end, she was just a clown.
She really hated!
"Shen Qing, why are you always so lucky? I was almost successful before, but you always managed to escape."
"My diary was also destroyed by you, right? When did you notice my plan? And how did you know there was a system in my body..."
Hearing Lin Yibai's voice full of unwillingness, Shen Qing saw that she was on the verge of death but still glaring at her unwillingly.
Shen Qing didn't want to reveal her secrets. She just glanced at Lin Yibai indifferently and said, "If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place."
Lin Yibai was so angry that she laughed at Shen Qing's words. There was a system in her body. How could it be summed up by such a simple sentence?
She originally thought that there was also a system in Shen Qing's body. But judging from the current situation, Shen Qing didn't have one. She even suspected whether Shen Qing was a transmigrator like her, but it seemed not.
Was Shen Qing's luck so powerful? So powerful that even with her cheat, she couldn't defeat Shen Qing?
"Shen Qing, you are really a person favored by the Heavenly Dao. I shouldn't have gone against you. If I hadn't targeted you at the beginning and instead focused on pursuing others, maybe I wouldn't have ended up like this."
Seeing that Lin Yibai still didn't repent even when death was approaching, Shen Qing sneered.
