The Collapse Begins in Changkong City

In another room of the Hyperion, Kiana, who had just woken up, was like a startled fawn, hurriedly asking the staff member next to her, "Where are my companions?"

Upon hearing this, the staff member calmly replied, "They are all resting now. You can see them once you've recovered."

Just then, a red-haired woman walked in from outside the door.

Upon seeing this person, Kiana felt a little nervous, wondering, "Why is this auntie coming over here?"

Kiana clenched her fists nervously, after all, she wasn't sure what this woman's stance was.

Seeing Kiana's wariness, the woman laughed and said, "Don't worry, you're safe now."

Kiana didn't lower her guard because of those words; on the contrary, she became even more vigilant. Himeko, seeing this, wasn't angry; instead, she spoke gently.

My name is Himeko Murata, you can also call me Himeko, so what's your name?

"My name is Kiana Kaslana. Who are you people? Why did you save us? And where are you taking me?" Kiana asked in quick succession.

Himeko smiled and said, "I am the captain of this warship, and I am now taking you to St. Freya Academy."

Kiana, upon hearing the word "academy," immediately waved her hands and said, "I don't want to go to St. Freya Academy! I don't want to study!"

"But all your companions have already agreed to go to St. Freya, are you really not going to consider it?"

Upon hearing that Mei and the others were going to that so-called St. Freya, Kiana quickly changed her tune:

"Since... since Mei and the others are going to St. Freya Academy, then I, this young lady, will have no choice but to reluctantly go there too!"

Just then, Himeko's phone rang.

Ding Ding Ding

"Hello, Theresa, what's up? Oh, I see." Himeko handed the phone to Kiana. "It's for you."

Kiana took the phone with some confusion and asked, "Hello, who is this?"

"Kiana, have you forgotten me? I'm your aunt Theresa!" Theresa said with some concern.

"Dad did say that I have an aunt, but are you really my aunt?" Kiana asked Theresa with some doubt.

"Of course I'm your aunt. Never mind, it's not easy to explain over the phone. Let's talk about it properly when you come to St. Freya."

"I made this call just to find out how you were doing, and now that I know you're alright, I'm finally relieved."

After saying that, Theresa hung up the phone.

In the protagonist's hospital room

Wang Tang noticed an upgrade button on the system interface and asked the system, "What is the use of this upgrade button?"

"The reason I have this upgrade button is because my background is strong enough; the person behind me gave it to me specifically."

Wang Tang asked in confusion, "Does your system even have such a thing as a background?"

The system replied, "Of course, there are many kinds of systems."

"For example, inventory systems, light curtain systems, and invincible starting systems, especially villain systems and those extreme systems."

"How so?" Wang Tang asked the system, puzzled.

"You've probably read villainous novels, right? The villains constantly plunder the protagonist's opportunities and luck, and then kill the protagonist when their luck runs out."

"After the villainous system has plundered all the luck, that world will be quickly destroyed."

"This angered the bigwigs in the system world."

"But most of the villain systems are mass-produced systems."

"These systems can only serve low-level worlds."

"Most of the famous worlds in the villain system don't even dare to enter."

"There was a villainous system that took a transmigrator to the Battle Through the Heavens world to plunder the protagonist's luck, but it was defeated by the Flame Emperor across time just as it was about to begin."

Wang Tang asked, "Then why is that?"

"Because many things have already happened, if you want to change them, the person involved will instantly discover you and then come across time and space to kill you. Unless you have power beyond everything, you can only wait to die."

"The protagonist of some worlds cannot be replaced unless you can bear all the consequences, otherwise you will die a terrible death."

Wang Tang said, "What about the extreme kind?"

The system said somewhat helplessly, "Then let me tell you the story of that extreme system."

"There was once a transmigrator who transmigrated to the fantasy sewer world of Douluo Continent. His system made him the Heavenly Dao of Douluo, and the system allowed him to devour a world that was more advanced than Douluo."

"While the Heavenly Dao of that world was asleep, he sent the Title Douluo of Douluo Continent to that world to cause trouble, and then he used the things given by the system to forcibly kill the Chosen One."

"By the time the Heavenly Dao of that world discovered this, it was already too late."

"Ultimately, that world was destroyed."

"His reward from the system was to become the Heavenly Dao of a primordial world."

"He kept killing transmigrators and systems. At the time, someone calculated that he had killed nearly a thousand systems and transmigrators."

"It can be said that a system sub-hall was directly ground out."

"Since both the system and the transmigrator were at the Great Dao level, the transmigrator thought himself invincible and became even more reckless."

"At that time, three big shots in the system world were furious and used their supernatural powers to pull him into the world they created. That system even self-destructed to forcibly send its host away."

"Because of some reasons, he wasn't hunted down. Instead, the transmigrator used the Great Dao Mirror to directly destroy dozens of top-tier Great Thousand Worlds and resurrect his system."

"They went directly to a weak system and wreaked havoc."

"In the end, that transmigrator and the system were completely killed conceptually by the system world and the transmigrator alliance because they had killed too many people. Even their existence in the river of time was completely erased before everyone's anger was appeased."

Wang Tang said, "I see. So what's the use of this function today?"

"You can choose either the inventory or the time travel function."

"I understand the inventory, but what about time travel? Does that mean I can travel back home?" Wang Tang asked.

The system replied emotionlessly, "Of course not."

"What's the use of this function? It allows you to travel to every world in the Tree Sea system."
