Bai Chanyi's words made Yu Zhibo's pupils contract, but what surprised him even more was the change in the system.
After the system panel erupted with a burst of brilliant light, it began to slowly converge and hide, changing from its original azure blue to a black with a deep, dark luster.
At least in terms of prestige, it was much higher than the original blue.
The changes had not stopped. At this moment, Yu Zhibo's consciousness had transformed into an incredibly real world, with howling cold winds and wailing ghosts, accompanied by flashing black lightning. It was a scene of doomsday.
"What's going on?"
Yu Zhibo watched the system's changes with disbelief.
In front of him, Bai Chanyi's red lips curved slightly, her gaze lost focus, as if in a daze, but in reality, she was staring at the scene in Yu Zhibo's mind.
"You have some discernment!" she said indifferently.
In the sea of consciousness, the panel transformed by the system suddenly dissipated into a dense black mist, merging into the entire world of consciousness.
"My system... is gone?"
Just as Yu Zhibo thought the system had detached, suddenly, all the black mist rolled back towards the sky, then condensed into a colossal black stone tablet, one hundred thousand feet high. It exuded the aura of time, and was inscribed with profound and obscure runes. Each one was meaningless, yet they were like black holes, containing great fear.
The moment the giant black stone tablet formed, it directly fell from the sky, crashing into the void ground that had automatically evolved in the sea of consciousness, standing firmly upon it.
"Roar~"
A beastly roar, seemingly from the depths of the soul, echoed throughout the entire world of consciousness. Yu Zhibo's consciousness "looked" towards the sky and saw a ferocious beast with a single horn tearing through the sky, leaping onto the top of the giant tablet.
This ferocious beast was entirely black, with a long torso and a wasp-like waist. Its feet were like black, scaled chicken claws, and a faint glow flowed across its body. Its pair of dark golden eyes were filled with sinister phenomena, and what was particularly eye-catching was the single horn on its head, covered in golden patterns, its tip disappearing into the unknown void.
"Is this... Teemo?" Yu Zhibo's mouth widened slightly.
Although this giant beast was very different from the Teemo in his memory, Yu Zhibo still recognized it at a glance, and his heart was stirred by immense waves.
The giant beast was too powerful, exceeding his comprehension. Was this still the Teemo he remembered who only said "giligili~"?
Sensing Yu Zhibo's gaze, a human-like color appeared in the beast's dark golden pupils. It winked at Yu Zhibo, then its emotions were once again withdrawn.
As if by instinct, it opened its massive mouth and bit down on the top of the black stone tablet.
"Crack!"
Its sharp teeth deeply embedded into the stone tablet. With an influx of radiant energy, the stone tablet changed again.
On the surface of the tablet, traditional Chinese characters began to appear:

"Damn it!"
After reading the messages on the system panel, Yu Zhibo couldn't help but gasp.
"This is so sudden, why are they suddenly giving me the task of saving all living beings?"
Yu Zhibo was speechless.
The Reincarnation Lord, an ancient deity said to control a portion of the Heavenly Dao's authority, was once so powerful, yet still ended up being scattered by the immortals and having reincarnation destroyed. Now, he was just a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, how could he bear such a heavy responsibility?
Was this system not trying to trick him?
The system's "spirit" looked too much like a evolved Teemo. He had reason to suspect that this spirit was the future Teemo.
At this moment, he wished he could summon Teemo and beat him up: How could you be so detrimental to your master?
No wonder Teemo's aptitude was mediocre, and his origin was just a small creature in a fragment of space in the borderlands, yet he could always keep up with his cultivation progress. It turned out he had the system covering for him.
Yu Zhibo looked up at the beast coiled on the stone tablet, like a statue. Except for the pupils and the golden patterns on its horn, everything else was black. It should be the "Black Si" that Bai Chanyi mentioned.
But why did they choose him as the reserve for the Reincarnation Lord? Just because he had the Sharingan?
As he was wondering, black light flowed on the stone tablet, drifting in mid-air, forming a line of new text:
[Reply to Host: It is not because you have the Sharingan that you became the Reincarnation Lord's reserve, but rather because you are the Reincarnation Lord's reserve that you possess the Sharingan!]
Yu Zhibo: "..." The information was too much, and he didn't know where to start complaining.
He sighed and withdrew his consciousness from the world where the system was located, returning to Bai Chanyi's presence.
For him now, compared to the system, Bai Chanyi, who was at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, was more trustworthy.
"You're out?" Bai Chanyi smiled and looked at him.
Compared to Bai Chanyi in her weaker days, the current Bai Chanyi was not only extremely powerful and exuded a mature aura, but what was even more unignorable was the vast wisdom contained in her wine-red eyes.
It was as if she could see through everything.
Yu Zhibo nodded solemnly, "I want to ask, did you come from the future or the past? And what kind of existence was the 'me' at that time?"
Bai Chanyi's expression gradually became serious.
—
At the same time, in the Demon Realm.
Compared to the scenic mountains and clear waters of the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, composed of nine layers of demon abysses, undoubtedly had a much darker atmosphere.
A scarlet blood moon hung in the sky all year round, casting a dark red glow on the dark land, making it look even more sinister.
There were nine layers to the demon abyss. The first layer was where all demon creatures not within the Demon Realm could temporarily arrive after crossing ninety-nine demon steps. The demonic energy here was relatively thin, and there were many demon plants with various effects.
Further up were the second and third layers of the demon abyss, which could only be reached by those with Heavenly Demon bloodlines after crossing ninety-nine demon steps.
The higher the layer of the demon abyss, the greater the demonic creation contained within it, and the stronger the demons residing within.
At this moment, in the eighth layer of the demon abyss, after Bai Chanyi appeared and forcibly annihilated a wisp of Chen Kuhe's will projection, a mountain formed by countless intertwined tentacles covered in barbs began to tremble violently.
Boom!
A tentacle whipped out in a fit of rage, smashing fiercely onto the black earth. Instantly, the ground cracked open, and demonic creatures whose levels could rival human Mahayana stage cultivators all exploded into a mist of blood under the dissipation of that terrifying aura.
"Who! Stole my prey?"
A beautiful yet ferocious human face appeared amidst the parting tentacles, its eyes filled with venom.
