"You mean to say, although the system's host is a villain and exists as my exact opposite, this host actually wants to follow the original plot. This, in turn, causes those original heroines to develop a rebellious psychology and destroy the original plot."
"In other words."
"The heroines are actually my true enemies."
"And instead, this villain, whom I initially thought was the most evil, is actually the one who most wants to follow the original plot and most wants me to win?"
"Which means..."
"To some extent, this host of the system is actually in the same camp as me?"
Ye Shu asked with a bewildered look on his face.
Although Xiaobai's explanation was convoluted, with his world-shocking intellect, he fully understood it all in just a few short seconds.
"But why?"
"Why would the system get itself a traitor?"
Ye Shu frowned, unable to make sense of it no matter how hard he thought. It completely defied logic.
Xiaobai spread her small hands somewhat helplessly. "Although I don't know why the system designed the host this way, this is the reality. It can only be attributed to the exertion of an invisible giant hand."
Hearing this, Ye Shu's mouth twitched.
"Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier?"
"And here I was worrying for so long! After all this time, the other side wants me to win even more than I do?"
"Did I not tell you?" Xiaobai stared at him with wide eyes.
"Did you tell me?" Ye Shu asked in return.
At this, Xiaobai put her hands on her hips and snorted, "I told you way back in the first chapter."
She imitated a tone from a long time ago:
"Because the system is too cunning. They deliberately make their host very cowardly, forcing him to follow the so-called original plot and turning him into a cuck, thereby arousing the heroines' sympathy and making them bully you."
Word for word, without a single change.
"It's your own fault for not paying attention and missing it. Why are you blaming this Heavenly Dao?"
"No, Hajibai, you rascal." Ye Shu laughed out of sheer anger. "If I forgot, couldn't you remind me?"
He had already figured out Xiaobai's underlying code.
This idiot.
She always waited until he first noticed an anomaly and asked about it before she would grumble and squeeze out extremely crucial and useful information from her already impoverished brain, like squeezing toothpaste. Sometimes he even suspected that she had only just learned these things herself, not much earlier than he did.
"In short, there's a high probability that this Su Xiao is on my side?"
Ye Shu took a deep breath and made an extremely shocking decision. "Do you think it's possible that, since his goal is the same as mine, I could instigate him to defect?"
"How does the saying go again?"
"When fellow townsmen meet, their eyes brim with tears."
Xiaobai stroked her chin and nodded. "According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, it seems that is indeed the case."
"Then there's no problem." Ye Shu smiled relaxedly.
He looked across the arena at Su Xiao and softly probed, "Odd changes, even stays the same; for the sign, look at the quadrant?"
"Bakayaro!"
"The Heavenly King covers the earthly tiger, the pagoda suppresses the river demon."
"The Golden Monkey wrathfully swings his massive cudgel, and the jade-like firmament is cleared of dust for ten thousand miles."
"Mishi mishi, I am not trash."
Opposite him, Su Xiao frowned.
What the hell was this male lead doing? Why did he suddenly start acting crazy?
In his field of vision, he could only see Ye Shu opening his mouth.
What he heard in his ears was a continuous string of bleeps, like the censored swearing from villains in TV shows from his past life.
Was this bro performing beatbox over there?
"Hehe, how truly foolish."
The system watched this scene and sneered inwardly. It could already implant memories; wasn't adding an information shield for the host a piece of cake?
As for the host not resisting or whatever.
It didn't matter.
The result of this grand tournament didn't matter.
Sometimes victory lies far beyond the tournament; one can defeat their opponent outside the tournament as well.
Its killing move was still yet to come.
"Jiejiejie... Child of Destiny, just take your time and enjoy the series of traps this system has arranged for you." The system let out a sinister laugh in its mind.
It had long since laid down an inescapable net.
The All-Peak Tournament was merely a prelude.
The true heroine...
Was still yet to come!
On the arena stage, when the secret codes didn't match, Ye Shu frowned.
As expected, it still wouldn't work?
He knew it; the system couldn't possibly leave a loophole for him to exploit so easily. It definitely had precautions in place.
But since he already knew the other party also wanted to follow the plot.
The more he hesitated, the more passive he would become.
With this thought in mind, Ye Shu finally made his move.
He slowly raised his right hand. Dots of light resembling stars slowly rose around him, and the spiritual energy from outside the venue spontaneously converged. At the same time, within the small world of Ye Shu's dantian, night fell. Stars connected into lines, ultimately transforming into a Sword Immortal with fluttering robes.
At this moment, Ye Shu's imposing aura completely changed.
He grasped a shattered longsword in his hand that sparkled brightly, with spiritual light flowing through the gaps between the fragments.
"Are they finally going to fight?"
The originally drowsy audience immediately perked up, their eyes shining, afraid of missing even a single detail.
"Are you sure the other side just wants to clock out?"
Ye Shu confirmed once again.
"Yes." Xiaobai nodded.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Ye Shu no longer had any scruples. He fiercely circulated the Cosmic Stars, going all out the moment he struck.
Supreme Surge, Divine Stride!
Swish—
In the blink of an eye, Ye Shu's figure suddenly appeared right in front of Su Xiao. The longsword in his hand carried the force of ten thousand thunderbolts as he viciously slashed downward.
Fast, far too fast.
It was so fast that apart from the elders and peak masters, not a single disciple could react to this sword strike.
A trace of excitement flashed in Su Xiao's eyes.
"Is it finally here?"
According to the original plot, he was supposed to be slashed off the stage with a single sword strike, unable to rise again, ending up with the title of a keyboard warrior.
Very good! Just like this!
Su Xiao neither dodged nor evaded. He tightly gripped the longsword in his hand without mobilizing even a single trace of spiritual energy, taking the blow head-on just like that.
Clang!
An earth-shattering boom rang out.
The vast sword intent arrived in an instant, bringing with it a berserk spiritual pressure that wreaked havoc inside Su Xiao's body. It was completely unavoidable and inescapable.
In just this moment, Su Xiao felt Ye Shu's immense power.
If he had gone all out, there was a high probability that he could only fight Ye Shu to a draw.
He could only say that the male lead was indeed worthy of his title; he was simply fierce.
One had to know that he had been strengthened by the system and was currently at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Yet how much time had the Ye Shu in front of him gone through? From the third level of Qi Condensation to the mid-stage of the Golden Core, had it even been a year?
Pfft—
Su Xiao violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yet he was exceptionally happy.
The stupid system didn't expect this, did it? Your granddaddy didn't even use any spiritual energy! What use is your strengthening? You still want your granddaddy to work for nothing? Keep dreaming!
Hahahahaha!
Su Xiao laughed wildly in his heart, and even the look he gave Ye Shu carried a bit of gratitude.
Following that, he turned his head to look at the spectator stands.
If he remembered correctly, the next part was his Master, Mu Yunxi, forcefully intervening to save him, but he would still be left with lingering ailments and a damaged foundation.
Come on! We're just waiting on you!
Stop causing trouble, Master!
Whether Su Xiao's wishes worked or not, a heaven-piercing sword light truly flashed from the distant spectator stands.
However, it wasn't aimed at Su Xiao.
But instead... it was Ye Shu!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
