“Yes, you’re right,” Wu Qiu No. 2 said. He couldn’t refute it. No matter how fast he controlled it or how much power he controlled, the source was the system in front of him. To this all-powerful spatial heavenly Dao administrator, what he had done was completely meaningless.
"However, you cannot interfere in our affairs. As the ruler of the Heavenly Dao, you naturally cannot interfere with what is under the Heavenly Dao. If I want to kill him, you won't stop me, right?"
Wu Qiu No. 2 spoke again. These words startled Wu Qiu. He had been bewildered by the Heavenly Dao administrator before, but since the system controlled many worlds, including Teyvat, it wasn't surprising that it managed the Heavenly Dao.
But what kind of nonsense is this "cannot interfere" policy? Wu Qiu wanted to complain. The other person was already stronger than him, and he finally had a chance to turn the tables, but the other person couldn't handle it and resorted to cheating. The worst part is that they didn't even ban his account. Isn't that infuriating?
Now that he has a powerful backer, he was just about to stand up and show off, and then tell Wu Qiu that he couldn't make a move. But not only did the other party get away with cheating, but they also banned his own powerful account.
Wu Qiu felt wronged and really wanted to talk to the author, saying, "What kind of garbage is this? Even the referees at this year's Olympics weren't as blind as you!"
cough cough...
"So, I'm not here to stop you, I'm here to advise you."
The system spoke, confirming Wu Qiu No. 2's words. Wu Qiu No. 2's eyes also calmed down, and with a wave of his hand, a huge greatsword shining with blue stars appeared in his hand.
Do you think I'll give up?
The system, Wu Qiu No. 2, spoke calmly, "Perhaps I can't make you give up, but why don't you go out and find the answer yourself?"
Wu Qiu No. 2 was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and finally leaped high into the air and disappeared in front of Wu Qiu.
"Hey! Where did he go?"
Wu Qiu spoke. The system replied, "He went out."
"What! No! Ying-jie and the others..."
"Don't worry." The system interrupted Wu Qiu. "Although he is different from you, you are still the same person. Your original intentions towards those around you will not change, so he will not hurt anyone."
Meanwhile, outside, the light emanating from Wu Qiu vanished, and True Monarch Xueyue Zhuyang retracted his shield. Looking at Wu Qiu before him, he remained seated, showing no sign of waking.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Ying asked. True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang shook his head, "I have never seen anything like this before. Whether it is the Great Sage Subduing Demons or myself, the current situation has completely exceeded our expectations. What happens next is up to him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qiu's tightly closed eyes twitched, and then he slowly opened them.
"woke up!"
Paimon exclaimed in surprise, but Ying remained highly vigilant and immediately sensed something was wrong when she saw Wu Qiu wake up.
"Don't act impulsively."
But it was too late. Shuangxue, who had just recovered somewhat, ran over immediately. With a joyful smile on her face, she reached out to hug Wu Qiu's arm.
"Brother Qiu, you..."
But she stopped abruptly, her words abruptly cut off. Looking into Wu Qiu's cold and unfamiliar eyes, Shuangxue dared not approach him any closer.
Turning his head to look at Shuangxue, Wu Qiu seemed to pause for a moment before forcing a gentle smile and saying, "Xiaoxue."
But Shuangxue remained standing not far from him, and did not move because of his words. Seeing this, Wu Qiu stepped forward and reached out, wanting to stroke Shuangxue's head as he remembered her doing.
However, when Wu Qiu's hand touched Shuangxue's head, Shuangxue trembled, raised her head, broke free from his hand, and took a slight step back.
Shaking her head as she backed away, Shuangxue said with a hint of fear, "No, your hands, your eyes, I only saw learning and imitation. You are not him, not..."
Chapter 182: Get out.
Frost and Snow's reaction stunned Wu Qiu No. 2. Looking at Frost and Snow's eyes filled with fear and dread, Wu Qiu No. 2 felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Your presence will only frighten Xiaoxue."
Wu Qiu's words echoed in his ears, and now, the current situation seemed to foreshadow everything. Everything was just as Wu Qiu had said; his appearance would only frighten the people he cared about.
But he was unwilling to give up. He raised his head, using all his strength to imitate Wu Qiu from his memories, and while imitating him, he spoke, "Xiao Xue, don't be afraid, it's me, I'm Wu Qiu, I won't..."
Seeing Wu Qiu No. 2 about to approach again, Shuangxue slapped his outstretched hand away. This time, he took a big step back, shaking his head even more firmly, "Don't come any closer! Don't be like Brother Qiu anymore. You are not him, never will be. Brother Qiu's eyes are gentle, but yours are terrifying."
As she spoke, Shuangxue retreated to the group's side, while Ying stepped forward and pointed at him with Fenghen, asking, "How is Xiao Qiuzi?"
Wu Qiu No. 2 was somewhat dazed, staring blankly at Ying in front of him. Finally, he spoke, seemingly with a hint of pleading, "Sister Ying, please don't be hostile towards me, okay?"
Ying didn't answer, but her voice became much more serious as she asked, "How is Xiao Qiuzi?"
"I am!"
Suddenly, a fierce glint flashed in Wu Qiu No. 2's eyes. He then shouted loudly, the air currents from his voice easily visible in the air.
"Why? Why would you all rather accept that good-for-nothing than me? We are one, with the same memories, the same experiences, the same past. Everything he can give you, I can do too. I can do better than him."
"I can protect the people I want to protect, and I can go with you to the places you want to go. Finally, Sister Ying, I won't hide behind you; I can stand in front of you, I..."
"Enough!" Ying's sharp shout cut off Wu Qiu No. 2's words. Looking at Wu Qiu in front of her, Ying's eyes were complicated. She shook her head at him and said, "No, you can never replace Xiao Qiuzi."
Wu Qiu II was completely dumbfounded; he felt like he was about to collapse. He didn't understand. He was also Wu Qiu, and he was the closest to perfect consciousness, capable of doing everything perfectly. Compared to that useless person, he was far, far stronger, so why would everyone choose that useless person?
"why?"
Wu Qiu No. 2 still asked the question, which he had asked many times before, and now he wanted to know the answer.
"Because Akiko is our partner, he will never let me draw my weapon against him. When facing him, I can let go of everything and greet my partner."
As Ying looked at Wu Qiu No. 2, she said, "And you, you are the enemy I need to draw Fenghen to protect my partner, the enemy who wants to take Xiao Qiuzi away from me."
"Perhaps you are right, Xiao Qiuzi is far inferior to you. He has many bad habits, is unreliable, and sometimes just causes trouble."
"But I can see his efforts and changes even more. Rather than becoming you, I would rather see him keep moving forward in his efforts, even if he fails in the end."
Lifting the Wind Trace and looking at the stone inlaid on it, Ying finally spoke slowly, "As long as I am still by his side, this sword will stand in front of him and protect him forever. This is the vow I made when I received the Wind Trace."
After hearing Ying's words, Wu Qiu No. 2 remained silent for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, Wu Qiu No. 2 finally looked at his own hands and slowly spoke, "Is that so?"
She raised her head and said, "My existence will hurt you, won't it?"
No one spoke, but Wu Qiu No. 2 already understood. Everyone thought he would fly into a rage, but they were wrong, terribly wrong.
Wu Qiu No. 2 smiled knowingly, as if relieved. Looking at everyone, he gave a genuine smile—the only one he ever showed—and said, "I understand, thank you."
He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes again. Meanwhile, Wu Qiu was dragging the system around, yelling at it.
"System! System! Think of something quick! Let me go out and fight him to the death!"
The system ignored Wu Qiu's movements, which were being pulled longer and shorter by him, but its body itself did not move. It just looked at him and asked, "How are you going to break free?"
"In novels, when the protagonist is possessed, it's always a struggle between souls for control of the body, and the protagonist eventually succeeds through relentless effort. Although I'm not a soul, it's pretty close."
"I tried so many times, I almost vomited the shit, but it didn't work. So system, you have to help me. Even if you don't help me fight him, at least help me send him up to compete."
The system shook its head. "It's no use. The gap between you is too big. There's no way you can compete."
Wu Qiu didn't give up, and was about to say something when he suddenly saw Wu Qiu No. 2 return. He was startled at first, then shouted, "You dare to come back? Why did True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang confiscate you?!"
"And another thing! What did you do to Sister Ying and the others? Let me tell you, if you dare to mess around, I, I, I, I will use the system to beat you to death!"
Ignoring Wu Qiu's powerless rage, Wu Qiu No. 2 walked straight up to him. Wu Qiu, unfazed, simply stared at him, his eyes wide open.
"You go out."
It was a very simple sentence. Before the words even left his mouth, Wu Qiu, without even thinking, yelled, "Are you fucking talking to your mother?! You want me to... to leave? You want me to leave? Go where?"
Wu Qiu didn't understand. The system, however, spoke up, "Have you figured it out?"
Wu Qiu No. 2 nodded and smiled bitterly, "After all, it was the expected outcome. Hearing them say it themselves, although I'm still a little unwilling, I can accept it."
"No, what do you mean?" Wu Qiu felt like he was an alien; he couldn't understand what they were saying.
"You're telling me to leave, which means you're giving up control of your body?"
Wu Qiu tried asking Wu Qiu No. 2. Wu Qiu No. 2 nodded. He seemed quite relaxed now, although his expression still looked a bit disdainful towards Wu Qiu, but it was much better than before.
"Then where are you going?" Wu Qiu wasn't in a hurry to be happy. He wasn't stupid. This guy's personality changed too quickly; there might be a trap.
"I'll sleep here, and keep an eye on you."
"Spy on me?" Wu Qiu was completely bewildered. Wu Qiu No. 2 nodded. "You piece of trash, remember this: it's not that you won, it's that I don't want to fight anymore. If you ever dare to do anything to betray Sister Ying and the others, I will awaken from my slumber, regain control of my body, and you will disappear forever, even if Sister Ying and the others are heartbroken."
Wu Qiu finally realized what was happening and, for the first time, found the guy in front of him quite agreeable. Grinning, Wu Qiu said with a confident smile, "Don't worry, that day will never come. Besides, I'll surpass you very soon, and then you won't be able to escape even if you wanted to."
"Then I'll look forward to it." After Wu Qiu No. 2 finished speaking, Wu Qiu immediately felt the presence of his body. Wu Qiu No. 2 relinquished control of his body, and Wu Qiu was able to easily leave.
But just as Wu Qiu was about to leave, Wu Qiu No. 2's voice rang out again, "Wait a minute."
Wu Qiu turned around and said, "Hey, you're not going to back out after all this, are you?"
Wu Qiu No. 2 shook his head. "No, I'm just telling you that if you reach your limit, call me. We've never been two separate people..."
Chapter 183: The Replacement
"Will do."
Watching Wu Qiu No. 2 slowly disappear, Wu Qiu smiled knowingly. At this moment, they were like two old friends, looking at each other without any hostility in their eyes.
At this moment, Wu Qiu suddenly felt that having a number two inside him might not be such a bad thing.
"Oh, by the way, at the end, please give me a name. And a reminder, don't use the same last name as you."
Suddenly, Wu Qiu No. 2 spoke up. Wu Qiu was taken aback, then thought about it and realized that he couldn't keep calling him No. 2, but what did he mean by not having the same surname as him?
However, it didn't really matter. Although neither of them considered the other a different person, a basic distinction still needed to be maintained. Wu Qiu No. 2 was clearly unhappy with Wu Qiu himself; this different surname was perhaps his last act of defiance.
"How about welcoming winter?"
After thinking for a while, Wu Qiu spoke. Wu Qiu No. 2 raised a hand to his chin, "Spring drizzle, summer sun. Autumn wind blowing through maple leaves, ushering in the snowy winter, not bad, I like this name very much."
With a slight smile, she looked at Wu Qiu and spoke with admiration for the first time, "I never expected you to have such a brain."
Wu Qiu shook her head. "No, you're overinterpreting it. I just said it casually."
“I thought so too.” Wu Qiu No. 2, no, Ying Dong, regained her aloofness and watched as Wu Qiu’s body rapidly disappeared. Finally, when only his face remained, two words floated from his mouth: “Thank you.”
Wu Qiu II disappeared, but Wu Qiu could still sense his presence. He would no longer hinder him, but he would live forever within him, coexisting with him.
"Alright, I'm off too, system, bye-bye."
After saying that, Wu Qiu was about to leave when the system suddenly pulled him back, saying, "Wait a minute, something's come up."
"What's the matter?"
Wu Qiu turned around and looked at the system with a displeased expression. He had known for a long time that this system was always messing with him.
But the system had indeed helped him just now. Besides, he really couldn't beat it, so although he seemed unwilling, Wu Qiu didn't dare to do anything reckless.
"You know that girl named Noelle, right?"
Wu Qiu was taken aback. "Noelle? Why is the system mentioning her?"
