Chapter 1078: Chapter 780: Secret Assistance

Lu Xiao and Shen Li quickly arrived. Seeing Shen Tang heavily injured, their anger and distress reached the extreme, and they immediately charged into battle against Zong Gao and Mansa.

The battle of five top-tier powerhouses turned the entire space into ruins!

As the two Great Saint Seats of the Divine Hall, Zong Gao and Mansa’s powers are naturally formidable, having broken through the Primordial Beast Tier when they were seated years ago.

However, facing three beastmen of the same tier, especially three Mad Beasts, victory is far from guaranteed.

As her Beast Husband comrades fought bloodily ahead, Shen Tang wasted no time, quickly using her Healing Ability to treat her injuries.

Shen Tang desperately wanted to rush forward to help, but the battle in front was clearly beyond her interference.

Her current task was to protect herself well and not become a burden, allowing them to fight without worry.

At this moment, Shen Tang increasingly longed for strength, bitterly despising her current weakness.

If she could become stronger, break through the Breaking Yuan Rank, she wouldn’t be like an ant to be toyed with by the Divine Hall, powerless to fight back.

Even though she was barely over twenty and had reached a height unattainable by countless beastmen in a lifetime, she still felt unsatisfied, urgently yearning to become stronger, much stronger!

[Host, cultivation can’t be rushed! The power of the Divine Hall isn’t something a few individuals can contend with alone. As long as we can escape, there will be plenty of opportunities!] The System appeared, noticing the chaotic fluctuation of the Host’s aura, even emitting wisps of black smoke, quickly advising.

Ahhhh, in those Overbearing Demon Venerable’s Fierce Love cultivation novels it had seen, this was a clear sign of demon possession for the host.

Of course, here, it’s that her Spiritual Consciousness Sea is being ravaged!

This situation generally occurs only in male beastmen, rarely in females.

Shen Tang heard the System’s voice and snapped back, "System, is that you?"

[Yes, Host, I’ve returned! I forgot to remind you, the energy magnetic field in the Divine Hall severely interferes with me! Upon entering the Divine Hall, I was forced into slumber. If that "me" spoke to you then, it must have been fake.]

"Ah, no wonder I found you a bit strange back then, it must have been an illusion," Shen Tang asked, "How did you awaken again?"

[Hehe, the great creator fitted me with an infinite growth System! As long as there are enough points, I can undergo unlimited upgrades and updates! The Host successfully completed the main quest, earning me lots of extra System data, so no matter what we face, I am unafraid. I will always be at the Host’s side!] The System puffed out its little chest proudly.

Shen Tang had long suspected some relation between the Main System and the Divine Hall, and now it seemed true.

Hearing the System’s words, she was naturally delighted but also a bit puzzled, "Your creator... didn’t the Main System create you?"

[Of course not~ Although I belonged to the Main System when the factory shipped me, and all data is shared with the Main System, my creator isn’t the Main System, but...] The System paused suddenly.

It knows it wasn’t created by the Main System, but it doesn’t know who its creator is.

The System lacked consciousness before creation, only upon successfully binding to a host did it truly gain memory, developing a self-personality.

Shen Tang became even more curious.

According to the System, it should differ from other ordinary task systems, possessing powerful self-updating capabilities, and even single-handedly resisting the Main System’s control! Its creator is truly remarkable!

Unexpectedly, her System is quite strong!

"By the way, have you been bound to other hosts before?"

[The Host is my one and only master, I wholly belong to the Host!] The System declared its allegiance loyally and added an explanation, [While task systems unbind from old hosts after completing tasks, bind to new ones, and erase old host memories, the binding history enters the System archive.]

[I hadn’t encountered any hosts before the Host, I’m a brand new, unactivated little system~ Hehe!]

Shen Tang’s mouth twitched subtly, "...Even if you’ve been bound to other hosts, it doesn’t bother me. I wouldn’t despise you."

[Hmph, no! Only the Host is my sole master!]

The System stated firmly, scratching its head, hesitatingly added, [Strangely enough, something seems to have told me that the Host is who I should bind to, why I exist.]

Shen Tang felt a slight thump in her heart upon hearing this, but there was no time to dwell as the battlefield was already in a heated phase.

Even though Xiao Jin and the others held their ground, prolonged fighting would be futile.

The more time passes, the greater the danger. When other Divine Hall powerhouses arrive, escape will be impossible.

She quickly used spiritual power to transfer her words, urging them to return immediately.

Xiao Jin, Lu Xiao, Shen Li also knew prolonged fighting wasn’t wise, seeing Shen Tang safe now extinguished their anger, yet leaving the battlefield proved difficult.

While attacking, they deliberately aimed many attacks at the entrance seal.

The seal gradually formed cracks.

Shen Li, fearing Shen Tang’s concern, let a tail transform into a mini version of the Little Fox, flying into her embrace.

Shen Tang hugged the beautiful, soft Little Fox, blinking wide-eyed, "Brother Li? Your tail..."

How can he split himself?

Are you the fox version of Luo Xiaohui?

The Little Fox’s fluffy, downy tail gently brushed against her arm and face. It spoke with a melodious, lazy voice, "Don’t worry, this isn’t a severed tail. After advancing to Breaking Yuan Rank Beastman, I also learned the ability to clone."

"The Ten-tail isn’t the flesh of my main body. It’s more like an external entity formed from energy manifestation, capable of leaving the body independently and briefly transforming into a clone."

Shen Tang let out a breath, lightly stroking the fluffy Little Fox in her arms, seemingly able to smell his comforting fragrance, her tense expression relaxed.

She gently said, "That’s wonderful, I thought something had happened to you all. Just seeing you all fine makes me happy... By the way, where had you all disappeared to earlier?"

The Little Fox spoke solemnly, "Afraid it’s much like your ordeal. Upon entering what seemed to be the exit, we thought we’d left successfully... But the Fox Clan also excels in the Illusion Technique, so I quickly realized it was merely a meticulously crafted Illusion Realm."

"Then we encountered the ’you’ generated by the Illusion Realm, further confirming something had probably happened to you, so we followed a trace of origin power I left with you, trying to find a way over."

"But the Divine Hall doesn’t want us to succeed. Between the three of us, the Divine Hall desires you more."

The Little Fox raised his small face to look at the female in front of him, the enchanting fox eyes showing worry, "On our way over, we encountered a giant labyrinth constructed of energy, full of threats, making it hard to find the exit."

Though their strength could forcefully break through the labyrinth, doing so would also take time.

The other party aimed to delay.

After Shen Tang was taken, even if Shen Li and the others found a way over, retrieving her would likely be impossible.

"However..." Shen Li paused, uncertainly, "Strangely, when we were trapped in the labyrinth, we suddenly felt a faint unfamiliar presence."

"Initially, we thought it was a Divine Hall assassin, but ’it’ didn’t attack us but inadvertently guided us to follow ’it,’ successfully leaving the labyrinth."

"That presence suddenly appeared, then disappeared once we left, as though... guiding us to find you."

"Without ’it,’ we might not have reached you so quickly, nor saved you in time."

What could be said, it felt like someone secretly assisting.

Yet, this is the Divine Hall.

Here, let alone friends, countless people want them dead. How could someone possibly help secretly?

Perhaps it’s just a coincidence?
