Chapter 777: System Upgrade Complete!
It was evening. Fiery clouds bled across the horizon, painting half the sky in shades of crimson and gold. The sunset's afterglow was a gorgeous, dreamlike spectacle.
Bai Bing, having just returned from a period of intense fighting within the Main God Reincarnation Game, had no intention of stopping to admire it.
Her delicate ears twitched, listening intently to something far away. A raging inferno began to ignite within her usually cold and indifferent eyes, a blaze even more intense than the fiery clouds that stained the heavens.
Her jade-like fists clenched so tightly the knuckles turned white. She bit down hard with silver teeth, and her full chest trembled violently with suppressed fury, making one worry if the fabric of her shirt could withstand the strain.
'Wu Shenyun!!!'
Bai Bing was incandescent with rage. She hadn't been this furious since the day the White Family's destruction had finally given her what she'd long desired. Even when Shen Anyu had humiliated her, even when he had made her kneel, she had never felt this incensed. In fact, she had found a strange sweetness in those moments.
But right now, Bai Bing's rage threatened to burst right through her clothes.
She was out fighting for her life in the dimensions of the Main God Reincarnation Game, and Wu Shenyun was actually raiding her home?!
Bai Bing had never cared much that Shen Anyu had other women. In her eyes, their strength wasn't worth her attention; they were as weak and insignificant as ants. Growing up in the White Family, a clan of assassins where the strong preyed on the weak, had instilled in her a mindset where strength was paramount. Liu Ruyan, Zhong Lingyin, Zhang Yaqian—she never considered any of them to be true rivals.
During her time in the world of Great Zheng, Bai Bing had no intention of simply surviving for three months by hiding amongst the rebels. Instead, she chose to seize the initiative, topple the regime of Great Zheng, and suppress all dissent with her overwhelming power to gain the greatest possible rewards.
When facing the White Family's pursuit, not only did she refuse to hide, but after breaking through to the world of a Land Immortal with Shen Anyu's help, she had charged straight back to slaughter them all.
If Shen Anyu hadn't appeared in time to become the light in her life, Bai Bing would have become even more reckless, carving a bloody path through everything to become the greatest villainess in the entire Main God Reincarnation Game.
The Southern Border Goddess, Wu Shenyun, a fellow Land Immortal, was the only one Bai Bing considered her greatest rival in love. Their relationship had always been fraught with tension.
They had even made a one-year pact, a challenge where Bai Bing was to face Wu Shenyun in a duel.
Now, having finally achieved the rank of Land Immortal, Bai Bing was in high spirits, ready to defeat Wu Shenyun and prove that she was the strongest woman by Shen Anyu's side. And yet, Wu Shenyun had actually taken advantage of her absence to raid her home?
With the hearing she had newly acquired as a Land Immortal, even a single leaf falling a thousand meters away was perfectly clear. The sounds coming from inside Jinxiu Mountain Villa's Villa No. 1—the sounds of Shen Anyu and Wu Shenyun—were impossible to miss.
Even the most subtle friction, the softest rustle of sheets, reached Bai Bing's ears with perfect clarity.
Pinpointing a location by sound was a basic skill for any martial artist. For an expert of Bai Bing's caliber, a brief moment of listening was all she needed to understand the entire situation inside that room.
Wu Shenyun was on top. She was actually riding on Shen Anyu.
Bai Bing took a deep, shuddering breath. Her fists remained clenched as she approached the villa, silent as a phantom. Like a vengeful spirit from a ghost story, her feet remained suspended in the air, allowing her to float silently just outside the window.
Through a gap in the not-fully-closed curtains, Bai Bing could clearly see the "cultivation" session unfolding within.
Wu Shenyun's eyes were squeezed shut, her lustrous hair a disheveled mess. She bit her lower lip, a look of deep reluctance etched onto her features, as if she were a proud elven queen being forced against her will. Yet, her body moved wildly, powerfully, atop Shen Anyu.
With a faint whoosh, Bai Bing's figure vanished. She couldn't bear to watch another second.
'Too much! This is truly too much! I was first!'A sudden, sharp sense of injustice washed over Bai Bing. She should have known better than to practice the Phoenix-Dragon Condensing Yuan Art. Before the cultivation method reached the stage of great success, she had to maintain her purity. And now, that slut Wu Shenyun had beaten her to the punch!'Hmph. She usually acts so cold and aloof, as if no one in the world is worthy of her notice, but she actually took the initiative to climb on top of Master. Detestable! Utterly detestable, you vixen!'
Bai Bing, who already disliked Wu Shenyun, now found her utterly loathsome.
She was not one to suffer in silence. With a flick of her wrist, Bai Bing sent a fallen leaf spinning through the air. It shot towards the window of Wu Shenyun's room like a bullet.
With a sharp crack, the window glass instantly shattered. The leaf, its momentum barely spent, precisely grazed a single strand of Wu Shenyun's hair, severing it.
Wu Shenyun's movements stopped abruptly. Her flushed, oval face instantly turned a shade of deep crimson. "Bai Bing is back!" she said in a flustered panic. "You need to get out, quickly!"
"What's the rush? There's no need to hurry," Shen Anyu said with a low chuckle, his voice laced with amusement.
Wu Shenyun lightly bit her red lips and shot Shen Anyu a strange, conflicted look. Then, she closed her phoenix eyes again, resuming her facade of someone being unwillingly humiliated.
It wasn't that she was shameless, but that Shen Anyu was simply too domineering.
Bai Bing's anger couldn't be blamed on her, could it?
"Shameless couple!" Bai Bing was stunned, frozen on the spot. Then, her pretty face flushed a furious red, a mixture of shame and rage. She spat the two words through gritted teeth before her figure flickered and vanished completely from Jinxiu Mountain Villa.
Shen Anyu remained engrossed in his cultivation, unable to extricate himself. It was several hours later when he finally emerged, an expression on his face that suggested he still wanted more.
Not long after, he descended into the underground secret room of Villa No. 1. This chamber was fortified with seven-to-eight-meter-thick plates of tungsten-titanium alloy, interspersed with a buffer layer. It was a fortress so secure that even a Land Immortal would find it difficult to penetrate, and conventional missiles would struggle to even leave a scratch.
Shen Anyu stood in the center of the room, his handsome face showing a rare expression of raw excitement and anticipation.
"The System upgrade is successful!"
Ever since devouring Ren Zhacheng's Goddess Future Diary System, his own Destiny Plunder System had entered an upgrade state. He had been unable to access the system store or draw prizes; the only function that remained was the prompt for plundering destiny value.
Shen Anyu was intensely curious about what new functions would be added after this upgrade.
The previous two upgrades had added a cashback function—which was better than nothing, though worldly wealth held little value for him—and then an investment rebate function, which had proven to be incredibly useful.
This time, Shen Anyu guessed that a Goddess Future Diary function would be added, effectively granting him the abilities of Ren Zhacheng's system.
One shouldn't underestimate Ren Zhacheng just because he had been so thoroughly played by Shen Anyu. That was only because Shen Anyu had targeted him from the very beginning, giving him no room to grow.
A system like the Goddess Future Diary System, one that could manipulate the future, would be terrifying once it matured. According to its background introduction, it could eventually even contain the diary of Nuwa herself—a prospect that could only be described as heaven-defying.
, Ren Zhacheng had started with powerful items like the Shrinking Pill and a Thunder Talisman, advantages that no mere tycoon-style system could ever hope to match.
As expected, when Shen Anyu looked at the Destiny Plunder System interface, he saw a new function: [Goddess Future Diary System]. It also contained two existing diaries: He Yiyi's and Ling Qingcheng's.
He gave them a brief look; there was no new content. He Yiyi had stopped updating, likely because she hadn't woken up yet. Ling Qingcheng's diary, however, was filled with her recent struggles and her complicated feelings about him, which made the corners of Shen Anyu's lips curve up involuntarily.
To acquire new Goddess Diaries, he still had to rely on draws. But the system now required him to use destiny value for those draws, which made his expression sour slightly. So, Ren Zhacheng could use money, but he had to use destiny value?
He had already planned to just use his immense wealth to overcome any difficulty.
What was a million for one draw? He'd just try ten thousand draws to test the waters.
"That's it? It cost me twenty million destiny value to devour, and you only returned eight million? System, did you get greedy?"
Shen Anyu's eyes narrowed dangerously. In his mind, the Destiny Plunder System seemed to tremble.
Then, Shen Anyu saw something new appear on the interface, and his eyes lit up.
