Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 235 The Eastern Immortal Realm is a Free Gift

Qiu Ci finally looked up from the sea of ​​books. The Eastern Immortal Realm? That Mu Xi?
Unexpectedly, instead of confronting him, he came to her doorstep. She frowned, thought for a moment, and then had someone take him to the main hall of the Immortal Venerable Pavilion. She then slipped away herself, ready to see what this person was up to.

If they don't have any bad intentions, that's fine. But if they do, she wouldn't mind acquiring another Eastern Immortal Realm ahead of time.

Although the buildings of the Immortal Venerable Pavilion were almost completely destroyed, with the presence of the psionic machines, Qiu Ci could simply use a thought to replicate them exactly as they were, except that the exterior walls were uniformly turned blue. More than half of the current buildings of the Immortal Venerable Pavilion were created by the psionic machines.

It can be said that she is invincible in the Immortal Venerable Pavilion, and there is no need to worry about Mu Xi playing any tricks.

Not long after Qiu Ci returned to the main hall, a celestial attendant led in a somewhat familiar-looking person—it was Mu Xi, whom she had met once before. However, compared to the look of complete disregard she had received upon their first meeting, Mu Xi now wore a smile, though her eyes held a hint of…fear?
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Chu, on ascending to the position of Immortal Venerable!" The other party greeted him warmly as soon as he entered the hall, as if the previous discord had never happened.

Is this... a plea for peace?
Qiu Ci was somewhat surprised, not expecting this person to be so sensible. Just as she was about to speak, a familiar electronic voice suddenly rang out again in her mind.

[Ding! Target detected. Mission issued: Host, please conquer this person as soon as possible. Successful conquest requires reaching 100% favorability! Target's current favorability: -50. Host, please begin action immediately. Failure to conquer will result in elimination!]

Qiu Ci's lips twitched, and she suddenly had an urge to drag that system out and beat it up. "Dog, what kind of system are you today?"

Ever since the day the data suddenly went haywire, the dog system has been on a path of constant erratic behavior, malfunctioning every now and then, and each time it malfunctions with a different system. Today it's the Conquest of the Heavens System, tomorrow it's the Palace Intrigue Counterattack System, and the day after it's the Daily Sign-in System. It's so unpredictable that Qiu Ci is starting to wonder if she has opened a system factory in her sea of ​​consciousness.

[Ding! This system is a romance strategy system. Please, Master, carefully pursue your target.]

"Strategy guide?" She inexplicably thought of Miao Jia from back then, who also seemed to have some kind of strategy guide system. "When did you learn those pirated human trafficking tricks?" What happened to the proper system?

The electronic voice in my mind seemed to pause for a moment, followed by a buzzing sound of electricity, before continuing.

This system is legal and compliant, and has a legitimate trademark. Please do not slander this system.

"Then why did you ask me to 'conquer' this guy who's hostile towards her?"

[Host, please conquer this area as soon as possible, or you will be eliminated!]

"..." No, you're giving me too much credit, aren't you?

Qiu Ci was immediately furious. She understood that the dog system was experiencing data corruption, but she wouldn't allow her dog to go astray.

"Fellow Daoist Chu?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Mu Xi's smile froze, as if she was desperately trying to hold back something.

Qiu Ci then came to her senses, glanced at the other party, and went straight to the point, "Immortal Venerable Mu Xi came to my Western Immortal Realm, is it really just to congratulate me on my ascension to the throne?"

Mu Xi's smile froze even more, seemingly not expecting her to be so direct. He could only reply, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you misunderstand. I was just curious. You just returned from the Ninth Heaven. Besides letting you take over the Western Immortal Realm, did the Emperor give you any other instructions? If any of them involve our Eastern Immortal Realm, I will definitely cooperate."

Qiu Ci glanced at him with some surprise. Did he think that her conquest of the Western Immortal Realm was at the behest of the Main God? And that she would also target the Eastern Immortal Realm, so he took the initiative to concede defeat? He really was quite adaptable.

Just as she was about to respond, the electronic voice in her mind rang out again.

[Beep! Host, please activate the strategy guide as soon as possible, otherwise punishment will be initiated!]

"Dog, that's enough!" Qiu Ci retorted angrily.

[Beep! Host has refused to complete the mission. Annihilation punishment will be activated soon...] "..." You try annihilating someone if you dare.

Qiu Ci's lips twitched, too lazy to pay attention to the erratic system, and continued to look at Mu Xi, saying, "If I want the entire Eastern Immortal Realm, will Immortal Venerable Mu cooperate?"

Mu Xi's face immediately darkened, and he put away his smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chu is joking."

"I'm not joking with you." Qiu Ci said seriously. She didn't turn around and go to the Eastern Immortal Realm directly because she didn't have time to deal with him. Did he really think she was letting him go?
"Hmph!" Mu Xi immediately dropped his pretense, gritting his teeth and glaring at her, "Fellow Daoist Chu is still young, it's best not to be too arrogant. Don't think that just because you have the Emperor's support, you can dominate the entire Immortal Realm. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew." What he truly feared was the Emperor, and he didn't believe she really had the ability to deal with him.

"Really?" Then let me show you whether you can do it or not.

[Beep~~~~~~~~Target being eliminated!]

Just as she was about to get up and activate the psionic machine, the dog system suddenly emitted a long beep, which made her head ache. She reflexively wanted to cover her ears, but the next moment she heard a muffled thud next to her.

Mu Xi, who had just been furious, suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground, all life force vanishing in an instant.

what's the situation? !

She was startled, but after a moment she saw a wisp of a ghostly spirit drifting out of the body on the ground; it was Mu Xi's soul.

[Beep! Annihilation complete!]

Autumn Farewell: "..."

Mu Xi: "..."

This is... gone?
"No, let me calm down..." Qiu Ci rubbed her temples, and after a while said to Gouzi, "So... what you mean by 'annihilation' is annihilating the target?"

"What else?" the dog system replied matter-of-factly. "If I don't eliminate the target, am I supposed to eliminate the host I chose? Ridiculous!" Its tone was full of "Are you stupid?"

"..." That makes so much sense, she was speechless.

Subconsciously releasing his divine sense, he took a closer look at the motionless person on the ground. Indeed, there was no sign of life; the person had been completely wiped out.

Instead, the floating soul beside it looked completely bewildered, as if it hadn't yet realized it was dead. It stared blankly at the body on the ground for a long while before it seemed to remember something and frantically tried to crawl back, but the body on the ground had lost all its life force and couldn't go back at all.

"How could this be?!" The wandering spirit Mu Xi's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was filled with ghostly energy. He glared at Qiu Ci beside him. "What did you do to me?!"

"..." What's it to me?

Qiu Ci felt wronged. Seeing that Mu Xi's ghost was becoming more and more agitated and showing signs of turning into a vengeful ghost, she did not hesitate any longer and summoned the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, kicking it into it.

Although the process was somewhat speechless, but...

Dongxian Realm (get√)

I spent four busy days back in my hometown, and finally got it all sorted out.
