Chapter 723 - 719: A Dream From the Main God

An Dongyang knew there was nothing he could do about Old Nine’s situation, but in his heart, he began to harbor a grudge against Leng Yuan.

He decided to orchestrate a grand scheme to ensure Leng Yuan could never recover.

Leng Yuan still didn’t know what had happened in the County Town.

That night, after he fell asleep with his wife in his arms,

the two of them met again in a dreamscape.

The dreamscape seemed to be illuminated by moonlight, allowing Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao to see each other clearly. They could also see for about ten meters around them, but anything beyond that distance was just a blur.

Just as the two were feeling bewildered, a layer of white mist drifted in from the distance.

The sight was familiar to them both.

The next moment, a silver-haired man appeared before them. He stood more than ten meters away, and aside from his silver hair and white robes, his other features were indistinct.

Gu Jiaojiao understood.

They had been summoned by the Main God.

"Main God, we’ve been looking for a suitable person to deal with the System, but we haven’t found anyone yet."

The Main God’s voice was laced with urgency. "The System is using Xu Wenwan to absorb the luck of many people. The rules that govern this world have already been broken. You must find a way to weaken the System’s energy as soon as possible. Otherwise, this world will likely collapse long before the System is even caught."

Originally, this world operated normally according to its own set of rules. However, the System’s intrusion, along with Gu Jiaojiao and Xu Wenwan’s transmigration into the story, had already altered those rules.

Now, the System was using Xu Wenwan to absorb the luck of dozens of people. The resulting changes in their destinies would eventually become the trigger for the world’s collapse.

A single butterfly can trigger a hurricane; imagine the power wielded by dozens of people whose fates have been altered.

Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan exchanged a grave look. "Is there any way to control the System, even temporarily?"

There were people plagued by bad luck, but minor misfortune was useless against the System. They needed to find someone who was exceptionally unlucky—a person almost as rare as the purple aura surrounding Leng Yuan.

If they couldn’t find such a person, they would be powerless against the System even if they ran into it.

The Main God was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "No."

"However, you could have your husband parade around in front of the System. The purple aura he possesses is what the System desires most. When it sees the aura, it will likely focus all its efforts on obtaining it, ignoring everyone else’s luck."

It was like someone who has tasted a five-star meal. They can still eat regular food, but it will always seem to be lacking something. If presented with both a five-star meal and a plate of plain, even unappetizing food, anyone would choose the five-star meal.

Hearing this, Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but speak up. "You said we had to deal with the System. But now the System is bonded to Xu Wenwan. If my husband goes parading around in front of her, what happens if she takes a liking to him? We’d be sacrificing his male beauty! That’ll cost extra."

The Main God stared speechlessly at Gu Jiaojiao, who was haggling like a notorious skinflint. "If the world collapses, you’ll disappear along with it. What good will his ’male beauty’ be then?"

The Main God grumbled but ultimately relented.

"As long as you complete your mission, I will bind you two in a love that spans ten lifetimes. In the future, no matter who or what you are reincarnated as, you will only ever choose each other."

Gu Jiaojiao immediately made a promise.

"Rest assured, Main God. We’ll pick up the pace."

The Main God: ...

’This was the first time a human had ever left him speechless.’

He didn’t linger and quickly departed.

Back in the real world, however, Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan found they could no longer sleep.

"It looks like the System is getting desperate, absorbing all that luck. Why don’t you take a trip to the County Town tomorrow?"
