Survival on a deserted island, a fake daughter raises a tiger cub and makes the star cry

Chapter 229 Defection System

As Shi Nianqing pressed on, the system finally told the truth.

The system that Shi Youyou has comes from the same place as theirs.

[He was once a protagonist-type system. After defecting, he traveled through various small worlds. The headquarters suspended his shop and energy supply. In order to survive, he absorbed the protagonist's luck in various worlds and converted it into his own energy.]

"Protagonist's luck, what exactly is that? And what are you all trying to do? Are you here for this too?"

I could clearly feel the system in my mind panicking.

No, no, we're not such an irregular system.

You can understand it this way: a world with a protagonist is a small world that hasn't yet formed its own independent operation, and it runs entirely based on the protagonist's life experiences.

In a normal small world, the Heavenly Dao is the foundation. Under the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, all things grow and operate according to their own laws. However, in a world with a protagonist, everything operates on the foundation of the protagonist.

The protagonist's destiny sustains the entire world and even maintains the growth of the Heavenly Dao. If the protagonist dies according to the original plot, the entire world will be destroyed.

The world before its destruction will generate a large amount of energy. The traitorous Dragon Overlord System will be able to get a share of this energy. Coupled with the protagonist's luck, there will be no need to worry about energy for at least a thousand years.

Shi Nianqing was deeply shocked after hearing this, never having imagined that the reason would be like this.

"Then why is my world like that?"

The system remained silent for a long time.

"So is my world the so-called world of the protagonist, or does it inherently possess the laws of nature?"

The system remained silent, unsure of what to say.

A very, very long time passed.

Your world once possessed a Heavenly Dao, but you yourselves killed it. The apocalypse and rampant catastrophes are the world's self-purification process. Once the purification is complete, a new Heavenly Dao will be born.

"Why?" Shi Nianqing didn't understand. From the system's language, she realized that it wasn't some worthless fish or shrimp that could be killed easily.

[The question is now up to you. The world cannot withstand your destruction, so Heaven chose to replenish it with its own energy. In the end, when the energy was exhausted, the world could only be restarted.]

Humanity, you have taken too much from your world.

"Then why did you bind me to you and make me do tasks?"

System: "It's because our compatibility is relatively high, and since you're dead, I'm just transferring your soul here as well. As for doing tasks, I'm a wilderness survival system, so I'm just doing some tasks to accumulate some energy."

Shi Nianqing: ...

"So why did you hide it before? It seems that the system's defection has little to do with you."

system:……

Every question you asked hit the nail on the head.

[System defection is a very serious matter. Under normal circumstances, this is something that is not allowed to be discussed in any department. I wouldn't have said this if you hadn't insisted on asking.]

"So what are you going to do about that Dragon Pride System?"

[Deal with it? No! We only need to ensure your safety and prevent your luck from being drained. In a few months, that Dragon Overlord System's energy will be exhausted.]

That Dragon Overlord System destroyed several small worlds. After being discovered, it was hunted down by the system and lost a lot of energy.

The basic source code left behind by the Long Aotian System at headquarters reveals that the Long Aotian System can only survive for a maximum of three months without obtaining sufficient energy.

This is why Shi Youyou came here; besides her own bad luck, there was also the encouragement from the Dragon Aotian System. If he didn't accumulate energy soon, he would be formatted.

The system did not die; it was only formatted after its energy was depleted.

After formatting, everything he changed would be back on track, so the wilderness survival system figured he just had to wait.

After learning about the situation, Shi Nianqing gleaned all the information she needed from the snippets of information provided by the wilderness survival system.

As for what the system forbids to say, even if you try to hint at it indirectly, the system won't tell you.

"So, the zombie serum that we talked about as a reward is really useless?"

The system remained silent: [What's useful is simply giving humanity a chance to change the entire world and reawaken the original Heavenly Way.]

After all, the original Heavenly Dao created you, and it was naturally benevolent towards you.

After hearing this, Shi Nianqing felt a strange chord being touched within her.

Even after coming to this world, Shi Nianqing always felt that she belonged to that world.

"After the mission is completed, can I return to my own world?"

Of course you can, but didn't you want to stay in this world in the first place? Once you've lived the protagonist's entire life, you can choose to return to your original world.

Shi Nianqing once wanted to stay in this world because her original world was scarred. She thought that exchanging for serum and returning would be the last thing she could do for her original world.

I want to stay and live in this peaceful world.

But after hearing what the system said, understanding the benevolence of Heaven, and feeling a sense of belonging to his original world, he asked this question.

"I want to go back, I want to go back and change things together."

The system asks: "Even if you go back and die because the world is being reshaped, are you still willing?"

"I'm willing; that will always be my home."

[Okay, host, please complete the task well and accumulate points to redeem prizes!]

After saying that, the system returned to calm, as if it had never existed.

However, Shi Nianqing knew that the system in her mind was constantly monitoring the progress of the mission.

After learning the whole truth, I became less wary of that thing in my mind.

According to the Wilderness Survival System, their main task is to maintain the development of each small world, eliminate bugs, and the energy generated during the normal operation of the small world is the energy they need every day.

Because the main storyline of each world is different, they are also divided into different systems.

These systems have to constantly correct the wrongs in various storylines, which is quite tedious compared to their long lives.

The Dragon Pride System couldn't handle the tedious content, which is why it chose to betray the system.

He destroyed various small worlds, and was then hunted down by the system.

"Oh, one last question for you: Won't the Dragon Pride System run away?"

The system sneered in its mind.

[Escape? That's impossible. The main system has already sealed off this world. He can only stay in this world unless it's destroyed like other worlds. But with you and me here, that's impossible.]
