She became a god

The novel "Asking the Way" once topped a certain chart and was a favorite among countless readers.

Unlike harem novels where every character is pushed into the next relationship, or single-female-lead novels where the romance is based on a thesis defense, or novels labeled as having no romantic pairing but still having ambiguous relationships with male and female supporting characters!

"Ask Tao" is a male-centric cultivation novel from beginning to end. The protagonist levels up and fights monsters along the way, eventually breaking through the void and ascending to become a god.

Compared to the typical storyline of a useless male protagonist being looked down upon by his family and having his engagement broken off, none of these exist in "Ask Tao".

The male protagonist of "Ask the Way," Lin Jingchuan, is known as the happiest person in a certain orphanage in terms of family background, without exception.

The male protagonist's biological mother died giving birth to him, but her dying words were that she had no regrets.

Although the male protagonist's biological father is old-fashioned, he takes good things from his private treasury to subsidize the male protagonist.

The male protagonist's older brother never felt that his younger brother was a disgrace or a burden, and whenever he had free time, he would travel around seeking medical treatment for the male protagonist.

The male lead's second sister has protected him since childhood and is dedicated to saving money to treat his illness.

Although the male protagonist has a happy family background, he cannot escape the trope of "family members being sacrificed to the heavens, granting boundless power".

The novel begins with the male protagonist's second sister arranging a marriage for the family. The male protagonist, deeply disturbed, accidentally enters the Chaoyang Secret Realm and inadvertently obtains the inheritance of the Chaoyang True Scripture, transforming himself from a useless spiritual root into a genius.

The male protagonist cultivated diligently, but he started cultivating too late, so he naturally failed to enter the top three in the Yu Ya Grand Ceremony.

After entering the secret realm, no one was willing to team up with him. Alone, he relied on the Morning Sun True Scripture to protect himself and also obtained many rare and precious materials, but missed the Nine-Flower Snow Lotus.

After the protagonist returns home from the dungeon, he finds his entire clan has been brutally murdered, and his only remaining relative is his married sister.

He and his sister were investigating the murderer who wiped out their family. Just as they found a clue, his sister was injured and needed the Nine-Flower Heart Sutra to refine the Nine-Flower Snow Lotus into the Nine-Flower Golden Elixir to save her life.

The male protagonist pleaded in vain and could only watch helplessly as his sister died tragically.

After such a brutal sacrificial scene, the male protagonist undergoes a drastic personality change, transforming from a sunny and cheerful young man into a sinister and insane killing machine.

On his path of revenge, the first thing the protagonist does is kill Fairy You Tan and a second-generation celestial being.

When killing Fairy You Tan, the male protagonist said, "You made me watch the sun set on the icy plains, so I will send you to the Yellow Springs."

This sentence was one of the key moments in the book "Seeking the Way," and Ye Qingzhou remembered it vividly.

In the illusion, the male protagonist sees his second sister getting married. In reality, he can only watch his second sister die because Fairy You Tan refuses to lend out the Nine Hua Heart Sutra, so he hates Fairy You Tan to the core.

The reason that the second-generation celestial being was resented was because he possessed the Nine-Flower Snow Lotus but refused to lend it, and even took the opportunity to humiliate the male protagonist.

That book has too many male characters, and even more of them are killed by the male protagonist.

The reason why I have a deep memory of Fairy You Tan is because she was the first woman the male protagonist killed, and she overturned the stereotype that the male protagonist "only pursues beautiful women and never kills them".

Back in the day, Ye Qingzhou used to write eloquently in the comments section, praising the male lead Lin Jingchuan in various ways.

But now, Ye Qingzhou glanced at Lin Jingchuan. Perhaps because he hadn't yet experienced the script of the sacrificial ceremony, the young man, having broken through the illusion, was somewhat frightened, but smiled because of his victory, like a very lively little puppy.

Ye Qingzhou felt that her personality might indeed be a bit unique. She didn't like sunny and cheerful protagonists in books, nor did she like crazy and obsessive protagonists. She only liked aloof and unattainable protagonists.

What attracted her most about Lin Jingchuan in the original novel was his ruthless, taciturn, and domineering image after the sacrificial ceremony script; perhaps she really does have a bit of a simp potential.

"Ding! The Simp System has been activated. Please bind to it immediately!"

Who is speaking?

On the field, Wen Xichun and Di Zixuan were fighting, while the other cultivators were watching.

So, like countless other time travelers, she also has a system?

But why is she bound to a "simp system"?

"Hello, host! I am the 'Simp System' 011. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. In this vast world, every world and every era has its chosen ones."

Many people destined for greatness often face many hardships, experiencing all the bitterness of life, and despite overcoming numerous obstacles to reach the top, they end up alone.

The stories of these chosen ones were written into novels and released to other dimensions, generating countless responses from readers.

This system is constructed from the reader's mental power, and its purpose is to act as a devoted follower of the chosen one, offering comfort and altering the plot of tragic stories.

"why me?"

"System detection shows that the host was once a loyal reader of a series of novels in this world, and the host has the potential to be a simp, so you will definitely be able to complete the mission excellently!"

Ye Qingzhou: ? ? ?

What benefit would it bring me?

"For each chosen chosen one as a target, the host can share a certain percentage of their cultivation and also view the chosen one's favorability towards the host. Favorability is on a 100-point scale. The host can share half of the chosen one's cultivation based on their favorability. When the chosen one's favorability reaches 100, the host can share 50% of their cultivation."

In addition, the system releases main and side quests, and the host receives points for completing them. These points can then be used to redeem items in the in-game store.

"What aspects does 'favorability' refer to? What items are available in the shop? Are there penalties for failing a mission? What are the penalties?"

The system paused for a moment, then said, "Affection refers to emotions including love..."

"So other kinds of feelings are okay too, right?"

"In principle, the host's understanding is not a problem."

That's good. Ye Qingzhou doesn't want to become one of the sacrificial NPCs!

Ye Qingzhou's calm demeanor made the system somewhat uneasy. It knew that it needed to show some sincerity to get the other party to agree.

"Host, the points mall has top-grade black bamboo and top-grade purple bamboo seedlings. They have strong reproductive capabilities, a sweet taste, and are rich in spiritual energy, making them especially suitable for your little panda clan. They can be redeemed for just 10 points. If the host is willing to bind, the system will immediately give the host 20 points and a newbie gift pack."

These conditions!

Ye Qingzhou was somewhat tempted, but she firmly believed in the principle of consistency between reward and punishment. "What about the punishment?"

"If the host accepts a mission and the mission fails, the host will revert to their original form, which may take anywhere from a week to several years."

Only now did Ye Qingzhou truly take the "licking dog system" seriously. If it weren't something from outer space, how could it know her secrets?

It's perfectly normal for demons to revert to their original forms, but the "lickspittle system" has designated this as punishment, which means it must be extremely aware of its own situation.

Apart from her mother, father, and master, she never revealed a single word to anyone else.

Is the "simp system" truly so powerful that it can see through everything, or was her arrival in this world inherently related to it?

"I agree."

"Host Ye Qingzhou."

Gender: Female.

Cultivation level: Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Magical artifacts: Lotus Leaf White Jade Hairpin (Mid-grade Xuan level), 32 Bone-Eating Nails (Upper-grade Xuan level), Nine-section Palace Silk (Supreme-grade Xuan level), and the Mirror of Love and Lust (Lower-grade Earth level).

Spells: Fragment of the Formless Divine Technique (Supreme Profound Rank), Frost Bamboo Heart Sutra (Middle Earth Rank), Xuanji Ci (Upper Earth Rank), Heaven-Reaching Technique (Heaven Rank ???).

Does the Heavenly Art not have specific ranks?

Ye Qingzhou was somewhat surprised by this, but also felt it was reasonable.

How can a technique that reaches the heavens be judged by rank?

"Host's target for romance is bound to Lin Jingchuan. Confirm?"

"Yes."

"The target's current favorability level is detected to be 30. A side quest has been issued: Obtain the Nine-Flower Heart Sutra. The countdown is three months from now. Please accept and complete the quest in time."

If Ye Qingzhou remembered correctly, the Nine-Flower Heart Sutra was one of the top three prizes in the Yu Ya Grand Ceremony.

In the original story, Ye Mengwan obtained the Nine Hua Heart Sutra by exchanging a wisp of Red Lotus Karmic Fire with a fellow Daoist.

Now, Ye Qingzhou has two paths before him: one is to rank in the top three and choose the Nine Hua Heart Sutra as the prize; the other is to exchange it with a fellow Daoist who has obtained the Nine Hua Heart Sutra.

Ye Qingzhou never does business that might result in a loss, so she chose option one.

Sigh! Even the excellent bear can't stay low-key after all!
