Chunibyo in Cultivation World

The System was extremely expectant at this moment.

After all, it had played a part in this success, hadn’t it? Moreover, this was also a chance to show Li Tianwei its true power—so it wouldn’t appear useless, right?

After a simple scan over Li Tianwei, the System already knew what sort of transformation his body had undergone.

Another divine ability had emerged—and it was even one involving causality! That was a great divine ability! Just thinking about it made the System thrilled.

That Li Tianwei could comprehend such a divine power with its assistance—didn’t that make it seem even more powerful? If the System had a nose at this moment, it might have tilted upward so high it would touch the sky.

【Host, host……】

Seeing that Li Tianwei didn’t respond for a long time, the System thought he was overwhelmed by excitement, and hurriedly called out again.

As for Li Tianwei, after sensing the divine ability he had comprehended through the baptism and the changes in his body, he fell silent for a while before slowly speaking.

“Chicken ribs. This divine ability and power are rather useless.”

Li Tianwei’s words were completely different from what the System had expected.

Upon hearing him say “chicken ribs” and “useless divine ability,” the System felt as though a flock of crows had flown over its head, cawing relentlessly.

“The power of cause and effect, discerning evil, discerning deceit—what’s the use of that? Could it be that I wouldn’t be able to tell otherwise?”

Li Tianwei sighed deeply, his face full of pity, yet he spoke with utter confidence.

“These so-called ‘causalities’—could it be they wish to lead me away from my own will?”

That was indeed what Li Tianwei thought.

He truly felt indifferent toward this divine power.

【……】

The System immediately fell silent.

It had never expected Li Tianwei to react like this.

In that instant, it realized it had underestimated the depth of Li Tianwei’s chuunibyou.

At the same time, the System recalled something else—during Li Tianwei’s earlier delusional fantasies, he had once imagined that whatever he saw, he could see through to the answer.

As for the process—well, others would simply prove it for him.

And now, seeing Li Tianwei’s current attitude, the System couldn’t help but think—

【Could it be… everything he imagined was actually true?】

But the moment this thought arose, the System immediately snapped out of it.

How could it possibly believe… this kind of Li Tianwei?

Was that right? Was it? Of course not!

Yet compared to that trivial matter, the System was now more lost than ever.

It had abandoned the previous blessing of Heaven and Earth just to aid Li Tianwei—

—but it seemed the effect wasn’t that great, and it was even despised for it.

【Could it be… I really am a worthless, garbage System?】

At this moment, the System couldn’t help falling into self-doubt.

It had wanted Li Tianwei to recognize his own situation clearly, yet in the end, it was itself that needed to awaken to reality.

【My data must be glitched… and the Heavenly Grace I spent earlier—what does that even count for now? If I bring it up, that guy Li Tianwei will probably just think I’m even more pathetic.】

The System was tangled in confusion, its data streams flickering chaotically.

Meanwhile, Li Tianwei was calmly organizing what he had gained this time.

“This ability to glimpse at the origin still has some use… but my realm has improved too quickly. I’m almost at Golden Core already. This is even shorter than my Hundred-Day Foundation.”

“As expected, I’m still too powerful.”

Li Tianwei sighed in emotion.

Though he found the Heavenly Eye rather “chicken-ribbed,” it wasn’t entirely useless.

As for “causality” and such things—he had delved so deeply into natural sciences, sociology, and cosmology that he had long since grasped those concepts.

With his knowledge alone, he could discern such patterns.

Moreover, this divine ability only revealed the causal lines within this world.

It was still far too narrow.

“To perceive the laws, to understand the changes—causality naturally reveals itself. I reap the fruit they sow the cause.”

Li Tianwei muttered softly.

The sky, too, calmed after his transformation was complete.

Not far away, the group waiting for him had stopped to rest a few dozen meters off.

“Uncle Liu, do you think he’ll really help us? Can he do it?”

A sallow-faced young man spoke in a hoarse voice.

From the sound of it, he was probably not yet twenty, yet his face was filled with exhaustion and weakness—like someone who had already stepped into middle age.

“Ah… he’s so insistent, what else can we do? We can’t even protect ourselves.”

“Perhaps he’ll end up just like those other Immortal Masters before him.”

“The Blood Fiend Sect has existed for nearly ten thousand years. If it could be destroyed, it would’ve been long ago.”

Liu Qi sighed softly.

“We’d best deliver what the Blood Fiend Sect demands first. Otherwise, we’ll end up like Xikan Village.”

With just a few simple words, the group sank into heavy silence.

No one knew better than those living on this land just how terrifying the demonic cultivators and the Blood Fiend Sect truly were.

All they wanted now was to finish this delivery and leave Panshan City as quickly as possible—lest they die here.

Before long, as they chatted idly, Li Tianwei slowly approached.

Seeing him arrive, Liu Qi immediately stepped forward and asked,

“Immortal Master, can we depart now?”

“Mm, we can go. You all head in first.”

Li Tianwei had naturally overheard their conversation, but he felt nothing toward it.

He did not seek others’ trust—he only believed in himself.

“Yes, Immortal Master.”

Liu Qi’s face lit up in relief at Li Tianwei’s words.

After all, in Liu Qi’s view, although he didn’t know exactly how powerful these Immortal Masters were, he understood well how formidable the Blood Fiend Sect was.

If they were to become involved with Li Tianwei, the Blood Fiend Sect would surely not let them go—and might even target their village.

It wouldn’t be the first time something like that happened.

Soon, under Liu Qi’s direction, the group set off toward Panshan City.

Li Tianwei stood still, gazing at the entire city.

Everything lay clearly within his Heavenly Eye.

What a dense concentration of sin!

Even from such a distance, Li Tianwei could almost hear the wails coming from within.

A faint killing intent surfaced from his body, quickly spreading outward.

He formed a hand seal, rose into the air, and flew toward Panshan City.

At that very moment within the city, Qin Yueying slowly lifted her head, looking toward the outside world.

As an evil demon, she was far more sensitive to the changes of Heaven and Earth than humans were especially now, as the entire Demonic Sect Territory was being constantly transformed by them, its dense demonic aura and grievance energy interweaving together.

Once chaos began, this place would become the great base of all evil demons.

Thus, the moment Li Tianwei had activated the Heavenly Eye and used the Resentment Channeling Curse to link Heaven and Earth, Qin Yueying had sensed that strange fluctuation of grievance and worldly thoughts.

Obviously, in a certain direction, the resentment energy was rapidly surging—as if some great demon had emerged.

Even Qin Yueying, who commanded the Filthy Resentful Aura, had not expected that one day, she would feel shock from a riot of resentment.

“What great demon has appeared… or did some demonic cultivator just break through?”

Qin Yueying pondered with a trace of confusion, sifting through her memories of the powerful figures in the western region of Panshan City—

—but found that none of them matched.
