Demon Sealing System Chu Yuan's Bold Idea

Since I’ve come all this way, it would be unreasonable not to do something.

Three days later, Jiang Che stepped out of the gate, refreshed and relaxed.

"Young Master, there’s someone outside calling himself Chu Yuan asking for you!"

Qiu Lin approached Jiang Che. He had now become the Dragon Palace’s steward and top enforcer. After Jiang Che gave him the essence blood of a true dragon and several other dragon treasures, his bloodline had become nearly indistinguishable from that of a pure-blooded dragon.

His true form was terrifyingly massive—a golden dragon stretching a full kilometer long, now barely qualified to serve as Jiang Che’s mount.

At least until Jiang Che conquered the Dragon Princess and became a true Dragon Rider, this guy could serve as a temporary means of transportation.

"Chu Yuan?" Jiang Che chuckled. "So now that you’ve caused trouble, you come looking for me? How ironic... the Chosen One seeking help from a villain like me? The Heavenly Dao must truly be blind."

Qiu Lin bowed slightly. "Young Master, Chu Yuan has been waiting outside for five days."

To him, Jiang Che was now his sole master, his loyalty absolute.

If not for Young Master Jiang, he would still be a lowly mixed-blood dragon descendant. But now... the purity of his dragon blood was enough to place him among the royal lineage of the dragon race!

"Fine, let him in."

Jiang Che stretched lazily.

Staying at home for three days had left him feeling stiff. After all, his mastery of the Time Law now allowed him to compress time tenfold within a domain.

In other words, those three days were equivalent to thirty full days in reality.

As the saying goes, time is like water in a sponge—squeeze hard enough, and you’ll always find more.

......

Thud!

The moment Chu Yuan saw Jiang Che, he dropped to his knees, his face a picture of misery.

"Young Master Jiang! Young Master Jiang! A disaster is upon us!"

Before arriving, Chu Yuan had clearly gone to great lengths with his appearance—his clothes were tattered, his face smeared with dirt.

"What’s the matter?" Jiang Che found it amusing, resting his chin on his hand.

"Young Master Jiang, I... I recently discovered a weakening seal in a secret realm, leaking dark energy. Suspecting a great demon was imprisoned within, I bravely sought to reinforce the seal, willing to sacrifice myself. But my skills were insufficient, and now the seal has completely shattered... I’m powerless to stop it!"

"The evil spirits inside may soon break through the dimensional barrier and invade the mortal realm. Young Master, your abilities are unparalleled. I beg you to intervene..."

Chu Yuan kowtowed before Jiang Che.

Jiang Che: "..."

I thought I had thick skin, but Chu Yuan here has just redefined shamelessness.

You bravely sought to sacrifice yourself?

I literally gave you the Ironhead System to push you forward, and the moment things went south, you turned tail and ran. And now you’re trying to glorify yourself?

"You caused this mess—you fix it. Maintaining stability in the mortal realm is already giving me a headache."

Jiang Che glared at Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan’s heart sank. As expected, his flimsy lies were nothing but a joke in Jiang Che’s eyes.

"Young Master Jiang!!! It’s my fault... I was greedy, lured by the evil spirit’s whispers, and accidentally broke the seal. Now this catastrophe looms... You... You..."

Chu Yuan was genuinely terrified. After returning, he had logged into the Nine Heavens Network to research these so-called "alien evil spirits," and what he found sent chills down his spine.

The annihilators of worlds, the source of darkness, the abyss that buried the ancient Celestial Court and its myriad immortals—they were the sworn enemies of the Nine Heavens!

And he had unleashed them. Did this mean his recklessness would bring ruin to the mortal realm and all existence across the Nine Heavens?

If that happened, no amount of deaths could atone for his sin!

"Young Master Jiang... surely you have a solution, right? The seal just broke... there must still be time... right?"

The more Chu Yuan thought about it, the more terrified and regretful he became.

"I don’t have time for this! Do you have any idea how much I deal with daily? I supply resources to countless cultivators across the mortal realm, mediate conflicts between the Nine Heavens and mortal cultivators—I’m exhausted!"

Jiang Che’s words plunged Chu Yuan into despair.

It was true. Without Jiang Che’s efforts, the mortal realm would have already descended into chaos. The Young Master was swamped with responsibilities—he shouldn’t be disturbed.

But the thought of those terrifying evil spirits ravaging the mortal realm filled him with dread.

"Useless! Absolutely useless!"

Jiang Che scoffed. This guy was the Chosen One?

I gave you the Ironhead System, and you’re still this cowardly?

"Ahem, well... there might still be a way." Jiang Che’s tone suddenly shifted.

"Huh? Wh-what way?!"

Chu Yuan scrambled up from the ground, hope flickering in his eyes.

"The System!" Jiang Che raised a single finger.

"The System? You mean... my Ironhead System?" Chu Yuan had never hidden his trump card from Jiang Che. After all, Systems were practically commonplace in the mortal realm now—95% of students in the Cultivation Academy had one, and even those without had recently started binding to Systems.

"Exactly. Coincidentally, one of my abilities is creating Systems. I have one here that lets you earn points by killing and absorbing evil spirits."

Jiang Che snapped his fingers.

Chu Yuan’s eyes widened, a surreal feeling washing over him, followed by a bone-deep chill.

"Cr-creating Systems?!"

This was insane! How could anyone make Systems?!

"Do you want it or not? Evil spirits are extradimensional entities—ordinary means can’t kill them, and you risk corruption if you try. This System is your only shot."

"Yes! Yes, I’ll take it!" Chu Yuan didn’t care anymore.

"The sins I’ve committed... I must take responsibility!" He knew this System likely had hidden pitfalls, but he had no choice.

"Good. Take this System, and if you cause more trouble in the future, don’t drag me into it." Jiang Che waved dismissively.

[Ding! The Demon-Sealing System has found a host. Would you like to bind?]

Hearing the familiar chime, Chu Yuan gulped.

"B-bind!"

[Ding! Binding successful!]

[Demon-Sealing System: Host can earn points by slaying evil spirits. The stronger the spirit, the higher the reward. Points can be exchanged for rewards in the System store.]

Chu Yuan glanced at the System interface and nearly choked in shock.

The layout of this Demon-Sealing System and his Ironhead System were... if not identical, then at least 90% similar!

It was like two college students presenting their graduation projects—one a library management system, the other a ticket-booking system—with the same damn framework.

[Could it be... that my Ironhead System was also...]

A bold idea sprang to life in Chu Yuan's mind!
