I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 502 Enhanced Plus Version

"Cough, don't get excited." Emperor Rende waved his hand. "That was an accident. I didn't know at the time that binding the system would get me struck by lightning."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liuzheng looked at him suspiciously: "I entered the palace at the age of twelve, but I have never seen you before. Why would you give me the system?"

Given her luck in her previous life—she couldn't even open a free bottle, and after being reborn, she had to sell herself to pay taxes for her family—how could such a windfall happen to her?
It was definitely a conspiracy!
"It was an accident," Emperor Rende said, indicating there was no conspiracy. "The system was something I prepared for Xiao Qi."

???

Chu Liuzheng: "What do you mean? I stole the tyrant's... no, the emperor's system?"

"The system chose you on its own initiative." Emperor Rende was somewhat annoyed when he mentioned this. He had risked his life to get this good thing for his son, only to have it benefit an outsider.

Uh... now we're not exactly outsiders anymore.

He said, "Your soul's energy is more compatible with the system."

Chu Liuzheng: "..."

[Am I really that gossipy, being compatible with the gossip system?]

She acquired the system shortly after being transferred to work in the Changchun Palace Library.

It was a bright, sunny day with a clear blue sky without a single cloud. The Empress invited the Emperor over, hoping he would arrange a good marriage for her niece.

In the library, Chu Liuzheng, having finished his work, stole a moment to lean against the second-floor window and read a travelogue. He wanted to peek out when the emperor came out to catch a glimpse of his appearance and see if he was indeed as the legendary god descended to earth.

A loud shout rang out: "Move to the Wenhua Hall!"

She immediately put down her book, carefully climbed up from the window, and peered down through her eyes.

Under the sunlight, the young man in the black robe was tall and slender with fair skin. His exact features were not clear due to the angle, but he had a full forehead, a straight nose, and a three-dimensional face. Judging from his bone structure alone, he was quite handsome.

Just as Chu Liuzheng was about to change his position to see if he could get a clear view of the emperor's face, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, and dark clouds surged in, instantly blotting out the sun.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, blue-purple arcs of electricity tore through the sky like dragons, and torrential rain poured down.

Chu Liuzheng no longer cared about the emperor and hurriedly ran to close the wide-open window. If rainwater got in and soaked some valuables, she couldn't afford to pay for them even if she sold them!

The rain came too suddenly, and the thunder and lightning were so powerful that they halted the emperor's journey.

"boom!"

Another thunderclap, arcs of lightning tearing through the sky, struck directly at the top of the library. A piece of the stone-carved Pixiu fell, nearly hitting the emperor and his entourage who were passing by.

Everyone instinctively looked up and saw another bolt of lightning, like a sharp arrow, pierce through the rain, strangely curving in the air before shooting towards the jade-like hand resting on the window sash.

A sharp pain shot through him, and the owner of the hand instantly fainted.

Two days later, Chu Liuzheng woke up and everyone said that he was very lucky to be struck by lightning but was not charred or burned and was able to wake up completely.

Chu Liuzheng also felt that she was quite lucky. Not only did she not get struck by lightning, she also got a gossip system with countless big and small gossips on it, so she no longer had to worry about not being able to get any gossip.

At the time, she thought that God had struck the wrong person with lightning, and that the system was God's compensation for her. She never expected that it was all the work of the sphinx in front of her.

She stared at the sphinx and asked, "Are you telling me all this so I'll return the system to the emperor?"

Emperor Rende waved his hand: "That's not the case. Since the system has chosen you, it cannot be changed. Moreover, it is because of you that the system has changed, which has also brought me some benefits."

Chu Liuzheng: ? ? ?

She said bluntly, "Could you explain more clearly?" "The system I chose for Xiao Qi allows people to see some things that have already happened in their dreams, mostly fragments. It can't be like what you have now, where you can not only check at any time, but also effortlessly see all the gossip in the world." Emperor Rende sighed, his gaze towards Chu Liuzheng quite meaningful.

Chu Liuzheng: "..."

[What this means is that the system this person created for their son was a basic version with many limitations, but after binding with me, it mutated and upgraded to an enhanced plus version.]

Emperor Rende: "That's one way to understand it."

Chu Liuzheng: "..."

Forgot that this sphinx could hear her thoughts.

"Listen to whether my understanding is correct." Chu Liuzheng changed his knee posture and said, "After you passed away, you learned from somewhere that the Sheng Kingdom would face destruction in your son Jingfan's generation. So you devised a system for your son Jingfan, hoping to remind him of things he was being misled by his subordinates or the evil things that had already happened through fragments of his dreams, so that he would be vigilant and send people to investigate, so as to eliminate the root of the disaster and ensure the peace of the Sheng Kingdom."

Emperor Rende nodded: "That's roughly it."

"Then you..." Chu Liuzheng pointed to the sphinx in front of him, "It shouldn't be that you don't have enough points to buy the skin, right?"

"Smart girl." Emperor Rende gave her a knowing look but didn't say anything. A system like this wasn't something you could get so easily; you'd naturally have to pay a price.

He sighed softly, "I originally thought that fate was beyond our control, and that the system falling into your hands meant that the Great Sheng Dynasty's destiny had come to an end. I didn't expect you to do so well, girl..."

"Hey, wait a minute before you praise me." Chu Liuzheng pointed to himself, "Tell me first, what have I done?"

Emperor Rende looked at her and said, "Girl, one should be humble."

Chu Liuzheng: "...I don't want to hear you praise me. Apart from using the system to gossip and have fun, I really haven't done anything else."

Emperor Rende did not believe it and began to recount all the things Chu Liuzheng had done, such as saving the eldest princess, thwarting the Western Xia's conspiracy, and capturing Yin Lanci. He had single-handedly turned the tide of the entire situation.

Chu Liuzheng hurriedly waved his hand, "It really wasn't her!"

She's just a bystander watching for fun; she doesn't have that kind of ability.

Seeing that she looked serious and not like she was faking it, Emperor Rende frowned, and a colorful vortex suddenly appeared at the tip of his tail, sucking it in.

"Hey!" Chu Liuzheng pointed at his tail and reminded him, "It's swallowed."

"It's alright." Emperor Rende closed his eyes, and a layer of colorful halo rose around his body, somewhat similar to the vortex of light from which he had emerged.

Chu Liuzheng's eyes felt dizzy; she seemed to see a sea of ​​"0"s and "1"s, like watching some kind of science fiction movie. She quickly closed her eyes, forming a preliminary guess about the sphinx in front of her, waiting for confirmation.

As the halo dissipated, Emperor Rende opened his eyes, his gaze towards Chu Liuzheng filled with complex emotions.

Chu Liuzheng: ? ? ?

Emperor Rende: "Indeed, it has little to do with you."

"Right? I told you I didn't do anything." Chu Liuzheng exhaled, looking at him curiously. "You're not human anymore, are you?"

Emperor Rende nodded.

"Then you..." Chu Liuzheng was about to ask something else when the ground where he was sitting suddenly began to shake, and the vortex of light reappeared, sucking half of Emperor Rende into it in the blink of an eye.

Emperor Rende only had time to wave his claw at Chu Liuzheng before he was completely sucked in, without even having time to say a word.
