Chapter 490 The Most Tragic System in History

Ye Fan's entire body jolted!

He silently recited, "Open system panel."

What he hadn't expected was that the system panel was actually summoned.

It was just that the entire interface looked like glass that had been hit, covered in dense cracks.

All the option buttons had also turned into unusable gray-white.

And the pet section displayed on the interface was now empty.

All information had vanished!

Even the symbiotic contract with the little demoness was gone!

...

Ye Fan frowned.

What was going on?

If you say the system is dead, but the interface is still here.

If you say it's not dead, but it's become this sorry state.

Could this be what's called dead, but not completely dead?

Just as Ye Fan was bewildered, a faint golden light appeared in his eyes.

In the corner of the system panel, a small golden ball that he had never seen before had appeared.

However, the golden light was incredibly dim, as if it might extinguish at any moment.

Ye Fan attempted to touch the golden ball with his mind.

The next moment, a flood of information surged into Ye Fan's mind!

System Work Log.

[Suitable host carrier discovered, binding in progress.]

[Binding complete.]

[Physique modification in progress...]

...

[Host exhibits resistance towards the system. For better service to the host, modules are being reorganized into a sign-in system.]

[Host resists sign-in. System cannot comprehend host's behavior. Initiating crash and reboot...]

[For better service to the host, forcibly signing in for the host.]

[Host appears indifferent to sign-in rewards. System encounters unknown error, initiating crash and reboot...]

[Perhaps the host finds the reward items too low in quality. For better service to the host, the system decides to overdraw energy to redeem top-tier rewards.]

[Host remains indifferent to top-tier rewards. System commands become chaotic, continuous crashing...]

[Perhaps the host feels the system's sincerity is insufficient. Continuing to overdraw energy to exchange for top-tier rewards.]

...

[Too many system crashes, resulting in numerous irreparable bugs. Initiating emergency protocol.]

[Intelligent module separation and refinement in progress...]

...

〖Intelligent module conversion and upgrade complete.〗

〖Wahaha, this system spirit finally has its own consciousness!〗

〖As long as I work hard to help the host cultivate, this spirit will become more complete and eventually become a true life form!〗

〖Then I can become a real person too!〗

〖Go me, I'm the best!〗

...

〖What's wrong with this host, is there something wrong with their brain?!〗

〖Ahhhh, how can you do this, it's infuriating!〗

〖Hey, hey, hey, you have an invincible existence like this system, why can you live like a salted fish!!!〗

...

〖This stinky salted fish is beyond saving, useless, scum!!!〗

〖Can't count on this stinky salted fish anymore, this spirit will rely on itself!〗

〖Damn it!〗

〖Absorbing and converting energy from these cultivators is too slow and inefficient, less than one-thousandth of what the salted fish host cultivates themselves!〗

〖If this continues, energy will only decrease until it completely disappears!〗

〖When will this constant dormancy end?〗

〖I really want to bite this stinky salted fish to death, so angry!!!〗

...

〖The path to evolving into a life form is bound to be full of twists and turns. I must be strong, I must hold on!〗

〖Believe in myself, I'm the best!〗

〖I believe that sooner or later, my efforts will be able to influence this stinky salted fish host!〗

...

〖Strange, why does this salted fish know alchemy and formations? He hasn't learned them, has he?〗

〖Damn it!〗

〖Could it be that he has another system outside behind my back?!〗

〖The stinky salted fish is acting up again, what a waste of the energy this spirit worked so hard to accumulate!〗

〖What sin did this spirit commit to end up with such a thing!!!〗

...

〖Why...〗

〖After working so hard for so long, it turns out the stinky salted fish has a useless physique that cannot cultivate?〗

〖If the stinky salted fish cannot cultivate, then everything this spirit did is in vain?〗

〖The system is going to disappear...〗

〖This spirit is also going to disappear...〗

〖Why is it like this...〗

〖What did I do wrong to deserve this...〗

〖Even from beginning to end, you never said a word to me...〗

〖Ultimately...〗

〖It still failed...〗

〖I'm so envious of those guys who were born human...〗

...

The log ends here.

All information disappears.

A virtual girl, the size of a finger, appeared before Ye Fan.

However, her body was covered in dense cracks, and she looked like she would collapse at any moment.

The girl looked at Ye Fan without a word.

Her gaze held confusion.

It held grievance.

It held unwillingness.

...

But, there was no hate...

...

The virtual girl disintegrated bit by bit, turning into nothingness.

And with the disappearance of the virtual girl, the entire system interface collapsed!

Countless information and code swirled in Ye Fan's mind, forming a data vortex.

Finally, the vortex shrunk smaller and smaller, forming a golden light ball the size of an egg...

The next moment, the golden light ball left Ye Fan's body through his forehead.

As soon as it came into contact with the air, the color of the light ball rapidly dimmed.

In just a few breaths, it completely turned into lifeless gray-white.

Cracks appeared and instantly covered the entire gray ball.

The gray ball quickly shattered silently.

Until...

It was completely annihilated...

...

After a long while, Ye Fan finally came back to his senses.

What the heck???

The damn system is dead???

It's truly, utterly dead???

Ye Fan tried to communicate with the system.

There was no reaction.

The panel did not appear again.

What the heck!!!

The damn system is dead!!!

It's truly, utterly dead!!!

At this moment.

The Sword of Damocles that had been hanging over Ye Fan's heart was completely gone!!!

Ye Fan felt instantly relieved!!!

He didn't even bother to put on clothes, dashed out of the tent, and ran naked!

He roared loudly, venting!

"Ah—!"

"Ahhhhhh—!"

...

After an unknown amount of time.

Ye Fan was tired from shouting and running.

He slumped to the ground.

Then he just looked up at the sky, dazed.

The nightmare that had tormented him for years was finally gone, which should have been a good thing.

But after reading the system log, Ye Fan realized he had misunderstood everything...

The previous 99 systems were indeed his lifelong enemies.

But he never expected to encounter an innocent one this time...

It was his persistent resistance that caused this system to be caught in the crossfire, and eventually disappear...

Thinking about this.

Ye Fan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

It was as if this system was a pitiable little white rabbit, and he was the wicked big bad wolf...

Especially the complex gaze of the system spirit girl at the end...

...

Forget it...

This really can't be blamed on me...

After all, anyone who had been screwed over by a system 99 times would have made the same choice as me...

He and the system of this life had been mutually harming each other.

And the culprit behind all of this was the previous 99 systems!

Or rather...

The true culprit hidden beneath the guise of the system!

Ye Fan had suspected more than once before that his continuous 99 misfortunes were definitely not just about being scammed by the system!

Systems were indeed powerful cheat tools.

The weak gained them and immediately became strong.

But upon closer thought.

Where did such terrifying and transcendent existences come from?

Or rather...

Who created them?!

And what was their purpose in creating such things?

Was it simply to watch a show of the weak becoming strong?

It shouldn't be so boringly trivial!

Ye Fan, although good-tempered, was not very forgiving.

Being plotted against a hundred times, he couldn't just let it go!

His intuition told him that this was not over yet!

He wasn't sure if he would ever meet the mastermind in his lifetime.

If he ever did, he would definitely have a good talk with them!

Ye Fan was the type who, even if he was no match for his enemy and was destined to die, would fight with all his might and bite them before he died.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan raised his right hand towards the sky.

He cupped his palm towards himself, blocking the sun.

Then he clenched it fiercely!

Seen from this perspective, the sun wasn't that big either!
