This villain has become a ghost

Qiu Shuangwan stood there in a daze, her head propped up. She was a little confused by the sudden shocking news. Her mind was a mess and she was at a loss as to what to do. She wondered what on earth this system was.

Nangong Wanqing was trying her best to control her emotions.

The system was silent for a long time.

Only Nangong Mingzhu's spirit came up to Yue Liuyun and said to her thoughtfully, "When I was still the Fourth Prince, I went to Fanyun Temple. There was a young abbot in the temple named... Jingtan."

The late emperor was wary of the princess's achievements at court and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. Later, the princess asked to go to Fanyun Temple to practice asceticism, and she stayed away from court from then on.

"When I met her that year, her situation was not good. She was fighting those who came to assassinate her. I helped her deal with those assassins and saved the monk named Jingtan."

"I remember that she called the little monk 'Atan' at that time."

I see.

These few short sentences contain so much information.

It is known that Jing Tan is the system, and the system is Jing Tan. Nangong Wanqing met, got to know, and became acquainted with him at Fanyun Temple... Whether they fell in love is another profound and complicated matter...

So why did Jingtan become the system it became later?

Yue Liuyun couldn't figure it out. He frowned and rubbed his temples. Then he realized another question and said thoughtfully, "Back then, weren't you and the princess supposed to be enemies? How could you actually... save someone?"

"Oh, you mean that," Nangong Mingzhu curled his lips nonchalantly, his beautiful eyes full of calmness, and said lazily, "Of course I should save him. Why not?"

His eyes curved, and his pupils were like the water in an autumn pond, deep as ink. His tone was gentle, but the words he said were frightening.

He said slowly, "Guess...how did the late emperor die?"

The late emperor...

In the original book, the late emperor died of a serious illness. He contracted hemoptysis at the age of forty and his body became increasingly weak.

Seriously ill...

Yue Liuyun suddenly raised his eyes, a thought flashing through his mind, and he said with a half-smile, "...So, this is the work of you and the eldest princess?"

"How clever," he chuckled and praised. Then, he put on a calm expression, his tone a little sharper, and said slowly, "Putting aside other things for now, we can still reach an agreement on killing the late emperor."

Yue Liuyun nodded.

See what you can do.

It was as if the person he killed was not his own father.

The two siblings teamed up to kill their father, and then turned against each other to fight for the throne. It was a heartwarming scene of a loving father and a filial son, and a friendly sister and a respectful brother. It was so touching.

Qiu Shuangwan listened to Yue Liuyun talking to himself in confusion. What hostile relationship, what saving people, what kind of tricks... he didn't understand a single word.

He tugged at Yue Liuyun's sleeve and asked curiously, "What are you talking about with the tyrant?"

Yue Liuyun roughly told him the key points in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Shuangwan’s eyes widened and her mouth opened into an “O” shape.

However, there are still many questions piling up in the minds of the two, especially Yue Liuyun. When she can't figure it out... she feels very uneasy.

So, she coughed lightly, interrupting the atmosphere of Jing Tan and Nangong Wan Qing's long-awaited reunion, and said, "System?"

[…Still there.] The young man Jingtan’s voice sounded a little muffled at this moment, and he was obviously in a very low mood.

Yue Liuyun did not say anything, but instead turned his gaze to Nangong Wanqing.

Nangong Wanqing had sorted out her emotions and calmed down again. After receiving her gaze, she nodded slightly.

She knew what Yue Liuyun wanted to ask.

Nangong Wanqing took a deep breath and asked slowly, "Atan, why did you become a system? Are you willing to reveal this?"

The light and shadow in the room intertwined, and three people and one soul gathered together with solemn expressions.

After a long while, Jing Tan seemed to smile bitterly and said softly:

[There's nothing to hide. I'm hesitant only because... I feel sorry for you.]

"For all these years, I've been watching you, but I couldn't tell you that I was still alive. I also didn't tell you that becoming a system...is actually a good thing."

Yue Liuyun had a feeling that what he was going to say next might be very important, so he listened attentively. Qiu Shuangwan also rubbed his hands nervously.

After being trapped in this world for twenty-five years, Nangong Wanqing also wanted to know what the truth was. She clenched her fists tightly and sat upright.

Only Nangong Mingzhu, who could not hear the system's words, looked lazy, with his arms crossed carelessly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jing Tan's tone became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

[Do you know—Eight Hundred Paths of Reincarnation, Three Thousand Worlds?]

Upon hearing this, several people's pupils constricted as they carefully pondered the meaning of his words.

They didn't need to think too much, as the system slowly told them everything, which almost overturned their cognition.

Jingtan Road...

[Eight hundred reincarnations, three thousand worlds.]

This is just one world.

Each of the three thousand worlds has a ruler.

The Ruler controls the operation of the world's order, is the heir to the will of heaven, and has always protected every world.

The previous system was the appointed ruler of this world.】

He has been in this world for a long time, and has witnessed the sufferings of the world, the sufferings of the people, the drifting of catkins in wind and rain, the floating of duckweed in troubled times... countless hardships and changes.

Fortunately, the sky cleared the way and someone swept away the chaotic world. With thunder-like means and decisive killing spirit, he unified the entire dynasty and named it "Daying".

However, he exhausted all his efforts and died young, leaving only 39 tribes on the border that were not recovered and unified, and they became the present-day Chiyu tribe.

After the unification of the dynasty, the ideal era of great harmony did not come. Instead, it became increasingly corrupt, the rulers were extremely licentious, and the people continued to suffer.

The previous system originally believed that with the gradual development of the times and the change of dynasties, there would always be a prosperous scene where the people could live and work in peace and contentment. This was the natural law of historical development.

However, the will passed down to him by destiny is... the fortune of this world is gradually fading, and a prosperous era will become increasingly unrealistic.

[The previous system was simply unbelievable.

This world...will literally stagnate.

He knew the rulers of other worlds and knew that there was a world with the same dynasty system.

Also with the development and changes of the times, that world has produced many brave heroes and a prosperous fortune.

Especially the Chinese people. As the long river of history slowly flows, dynasties change, and a new era is ushered in. Whether it is thoughts, concepts, or technology... they are beyond the reach of this world.

Yue Liuyun murmured to himself, "It's... our world, our country?"

"That's right," Jing Tan thought for a moment, then said solemnly, "Actually... you're very smart. All your thoughts and guesses are correct."

Although he never showed up, he had been observing Yue Liuyun and found that she was more outstanding than he had imagined.
