Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 216 System Shutdown

As soon as the words left his mouth, the faces of the crowd below paled even further. The white-robed bishop staggered back several steps, muttering to himself, "It was us... who destroyed all of this. It was us who destroyed the temple. No! No! You're lying!"

He seemed unable to accept this fact, shaking his head vigorously and saying, "We just want to gain greater power, for the sake of the future of the Divine Radiance. It has been like this for thousands of years. What have we done wrong!"

"..."

“It was just a mistake. We still have a chance, we can still make amends…” His expression became even more frantic. As if he had thought of something, he looked at the psionic machine behind Qiu Ci with burning eyes. “As long as the super artifact is still there, we can rebuild the temple again and return the super artifact to us.”

His eyes were bloodshot, and he staggered forward a few steps, his eyes filled with madness and ambition. Even the other white-robed men seemed to be reminded and opened their eyes wide to look over.

"That's right. As long as we have the super artifact, there is still hope, and we can start over."

"Yes, they handed over the super artifact to us, so it was originally ours."

"Just one step away, just one step away, we're sure to succeed this time."

"You are all alone. Why don't you join us? Those who stand in the way of the temple are the enemies of the divine light."

"This ultimate artifact can only be ours, it has to be ours!"

The crowd grew increasingly excited as they talked, their eyes becoming more and more greedy as they looked at Qiu Ci, much like gamblers who had lost everything. They even raised their hands and summoned various weapons, all of which were high-level magical artifacts. She even saw some familiar firearms among them.

Qiu Ci instantly understood where their weapons came from; these people were all bound to a system, but they were very well hidden.

Using creations from Earth to deal with her, a human from Earth, Qiu Ci was almost laughing in anger.

These people have gone mad. The destruction of the entire temple has completely robbed them of their reason, and they've even forgotten that what surrounds her is the very artifact they've been talking about. They're like a group of gamblers who've lost everything, only thinking about using one last hand to turn things around.

Unfortunately, they didn't have that chance.

"Stubborn fools!" Qiu Ci's expression turned cold as he glanced at the weapons already in their hands, extinguishing their last hope.

She stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"In the name of Blue Star, all systems, shut down!"

The next moment, all the survivors below felt a crackling sound of electricity in their ears, as if something was being stripped from their bodies. The strongest weapons they had exchanged for also vanished like dust, as if they had never existed.

Not only that, their cultivation levels also began to drop visibly, from the initial Celestial Realm, or even the Loose Immortal Realm, all the way down to Tribulation Transcending, Deity Transformation, and even Nascent Soul and Golden Core...

The white-robed bishop at the forefront had fallen all the way down to the Qi Refining stage, where he had just begun to draw in Qi. Everyone had returned to their cultivation level before they were bound to the system. What was even more terrifying was that their appearances had aged noticeably.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they frantically checked their own bodies.

"My cultivation! No... This is impossible, how could this happen? System! Where is the system! Come out quickly, what exactly is going on?" They shouted and questioned frantically.

No matter how he called out, the system in his mind, which used to respond to every request, was now completely unresponsive.

As Qiu Ci said, it's turned off.

Qiu Ci ignored everyone's collapse and simply waved her hand. Clusters of light gathered in her palm. Some flew off the people, and some flew out from the ruins. They all flew into her hand and turned back into the thin layer of chips. In an instant, a stack of them was accumulated.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that there were as many as forty or fifty systems here alone. It seemed that the thirty-seven systems they had told her earlier were not the total number of systems the temple possessed.

Having done all that, Qiu Ci was too lazy to care about the people below. "Enjoy the consequences you've caused." Then she turned around and left the capital. She had only visited half of the cities in the temple region. Who knew if there were any temples left in the other cities? She had to hurry up and retrieve the remaining psionic machines. As for those bishops...

Having lost the system and his cultivation, and driven mad by the destruction of the entire temple with his own hands, even if he lives temporarily, he will only suffer.

As for the method to reclaim the system, she learned it from the high school knowledge she had just acquired. The most direct way to detach from the bound system is to shut it down. As the only human on Earth, she already had the authority to shut down all systems. In other words, their previous careful attempt to have the dog system help detach the system was completely unnecessary.

Both she and Juanshan were trapped in habitual thinking, which is why they believed that only the system itself could be separated from the system.

The dog system clearly lacked this awareness, and thinking of this, Qiu Ci couldn't help but feel a little guilty and couldn't help but explain, "Ahem, that dog system, I didn't know it could be turned off before."

Unexpectedly, there was no response from within his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Are you really angry? You damn system, system..." She called out several times, but there was still no response.

what happened?

She then realized something was wrong and quickly checked her inner consciousness. The dog system was still in her sea of ​​consciousness, but the light projection that had been following her was gone.

what's the situation?
and many more!

Could it be what she said when she reclaimed the system: "Shut down all systems..."

Holy crap, did they shut down the dog system too? Did they accidentally dig themselves into a hole?

"Damn system, power on!" she said hurriedly.

But there was still no response in my mind.

"Damn system, wake up! Hey! Turn on, start, wake up!" She shouted several times, but the system didn't respond at all.

She wouldn't really have to power up all the systems before she woke up, would she? That won't do; she had gone to great lengths to reclaim all the systems at once.

There must be other methods. Let her think about it. How did she activate the system the first time she saw it?

It seems that the dog system's name was called out by accident.

Now here comes the question…

What's the real name of the dog system again?

(°-°)
In the end, Qiu Ci remembered Gou Tong's name. It wasn't that she had a good memory, but rather that she suddenly thought of Xiao Er, who was bound to Juan Shan, and so...

"Little Yi."

[Ding! System activated!] A familiar electronic voice finally rang in my mind, followed by a deafening, wailing sound.

【Waaaaaaahhhhhh... Master! You've gone too far! You even shut me down! I've worked so hard for you all these years, I've done my part, and you just shut me down like that... shut me down... shut me down... You heartless, ungrateful man! Waaaaaahhhhh... In the end, our feelings have faded! You betrayed our pure friendship, I'm heartbroken, I'm devastated, I don't want to live anymore, waaaaaahh ...

The little ball of light suddenly popped out, crying so heartbreakingly that the glowing light on its body fell down like rain.

Autumn Farewell: "..."
