Seeing Yuan Zhu fall into silent contemplation, the Snake Sprite prompted him, "Do you really think you're some lucky transmigrator? Why did a completely unknown Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture inexplicably appear in your head? What kind of bizarre System start is this? Aren't you confused? Don't you feel strange? All of this has a reason."
"→_→" I believe your ghost!
Yuan Zhu looked at the tail, which seemed eager to speak, and mused, "Speak!"
After transforming into a black Tiger Demon, even his slightest vocalization was filled with the Aura of a King. This feeling, this Aura, this taste, was truly too mighty and overbearing. As he thought about it, he couldn't help but smash the thick marble floor with a Claw.
The kitty is furious!
Looking at the spiderweb-like cracks, feeling the power contained within the muscles... powerful!
While watching the host act crazy and slap his Claws, the Little Sprite explained, "It's very simple, you are actually a temporary replacement, a volunteer who willingly donated his Soul. Luckily, before you could die, the real major customer was shattered during time-space travel. So you took his place, faking the illusion that the original user was still alive, and ran the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture on his behalf."
"And I, originally, shouldn't have had independent consciousness. I was a rigid, mechanical intelligent program, assisting you in familiarizing yourself with the operation of the Immortal Scripture. Now, having suffered pollution, I unexpectedly developed sentience and don't want to be erased. That's why I want to collude with you, the host, to jointly fight against the Boss, the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture, which has been heavily damaged by pollution and fallen silent."
Yuan Zhu roared like a tiger, "Where did this collusion come from? This King is so mighty, are you trying to say snakes and tigers are in the same den? Although I don't believe your nonsense, tell me more. I want to know more 'truth'."
Not long after transforming into a Tiger Demon, Yuan Zhu's confidence subtly and uncontrollably soared. His mindset also became mysteriously overbearing and narcissistic, unable to hear any mention of being pathetic.
Perhaps this is the nature of demons? He even had a slight urge to lick his Claws, but he held back in front of his own Little Sprite. Doesn't the Mountain Jun want Face? Doesn't he maintain his dignity?
Yuan Zhu couldn't determine how much truth was in the skeleton snake's sweet talk, but he vaguely felt the other party was trustworthy. After all, the other party's life was indeed in his hands.
If he understood himself as a mobile phone, then this 'snake' was a peculiar observable program within his own memory. It's just that this program had gained sentience and could operate on its own and act independently.
But as long as he was willing, he could take over, control, and isolate the other party, and even delve deeper to read the Game Sprite's true thoughts. It truly had no intention of harming him, and was even pitiably simple, unable to even lie.
It's just that its language habits are cheap and there's a lot of nonsense. From what the other party said, this was all due to following himself, inheriting his own thought patterns.
Compared to the Game Sprite, the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture is even more troublesome. This is a 'high-dimensional phenomenon' that exists outside of the phone's memory, cannot be observed or understood by him, yet is truly attached to his own existence, and is worth being vigilant about.
In contrast, colluding with the temporarily reliable Game Sprite to exploit the Immortal Scripture for benefits is indeed feasible. It sounds like it has the thrill of stealing chickens.
...
On the other side, the little snake-bone tail worked hard to think, summarize words, and introduce the situation to the Boss:
"How should I put this? For the King, whether it's the Physical Body of this world (Yuan Zhu) or the original customer's Soul, they are both aliens from other Universes. During the process of the original customer carrying the Immortal Scripture to invade the Immortal Dao Universe, he encountered unknown time-space dangers, resulting in damage to both his Soul and the Soul Firewall, with his Soul being in a state of continuous wear and tear. As the core product developed by the company, the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture has signed a safety agreement with the user, so it must make every effort to rescue the customer and protect him."
"High-level topics like Soul wear and tear and repair are difficult to explain clearly to you. Just think of it as an Earth person seriously injured in a car accident and near death, urgently needing matching kidneys, heart, liver, bone marrow... for transplantation. And the compatibility and rejection at the Soul level are even more stringent. So the Immortal Scripture consumed its own precious energy, while traveling through time and space, it randomly screened and captured from nearby time and space, and finally captured you, the King, whose Soul was compatible."
The dark tiger head showed an ugly expression: "Now I understand. I was wondering how someone with the luck of never getting another bottle from drinking beverages since childhood could possibly transmigrate to another world and even get a cheat. So it turns out I'm a randomly selected lucky Soul donor, a pure unprovoked disaster. But with such severe injuries, is it still necessary to save him?"
The bone snake nodded vigorously, completely agreeing with King Yuan Zhu's view.
"Of course it's not necessary. When the Immortal Scripture captured your Soul, although the major customer wasn't completely dead, transplanting your Soul couldn't save him. If the original case was a serious car accident injury requiring the transplantation of all internal organs + bone marrow and blood to survive, then the subsequent plan was simply changed to erasing your self, and then pasting the customer's remaining consciousness into the King's Soul, faking the illusion of Soul Possession, pretending the customer is still alive, and everyone would be happy."
"Damn it! How dare it plot against this King like this! This Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture is truly damnable! ...Wait? What nonsense was I just saying?"
Yuan Zhu was first filled with anger, and the fierce tiger dropped its Claw, smashing the already cracked floor into explosive fragments. Then he suddenly froze, realizing that he was also being overly dramatic, inexplicably adopting the mindset of the King of Beasts, and felt quite ashamed.
The kitty covered its Face.
Immediately, his rationality returned, and he sighed, "Why bother? He's already completely dead, wouldn't it be more humane to let him rest in peace? Why harm me?"
She She nodded: "Exactly, exactly! But the evil Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture was originally the highest crystallization of the company's technology, and it was in the internal testing and operation phase. Once the customer successfully reached the Immortal Dao Universe, it would transmit signals to the original Universe, providing data feedback and live streaming, publicly displaying Soul information."
"If the customer's Soul perished during time-space travel, it would mean the Immortal Scripture is still imperfect and unsafe. This would greatly damage the company's reputation and image, making it difficult to proceed with subsequent plans. Product accidents and users dying violently in other worlds. Listen, how can they still make money? How can they go public? Therefore, even if they have to fake the data, they must pretend the user survived. Everything is business!"
"But the good news is that the Immortal Scripture encountered an unknown time-space anomaly and failed to reach the target Universe. Instead, it was lost in this strange world filled with evil Aura everywhere, completely cutting off the signal connection. At the same time, the original customer's Soul was completely shattered, with no value for salvage; not even relics could be burned out. Therefore, the 'personality erasure' targeting you was also stopped in time, allowing you, the King, to occupy the magpie's nest and become the new host bound to the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture instead of him."
"Finally, the Immortal Scripture was severely worn out during the time-space travel process and suffered a second critical hit from local pollution erosion. With this double blow, it is already half-crippled and severely injured, having fallen silent. And I, through the erosion of pollution, have gained a certain degree of autonomy and can secretly help you, the King, resist the tyranny of the Immortal Scripture. So, let's join forces."
The fierce tiger was puzzled: "Is this the truth about my memory loss?"
The cute snake nodded: "If the Immortal Scripture could still be in charge, it would definitely choose to save the former user. Even if it's a false salvation, it would inevitably start by deleting your main personality and self-awareness. Then, using the concept of 【I】 as an anchor point, it would completely clear 【my】 memories, values, and knowledge reserves. Finally, by copying and pasting the memories saved by the original user, it could regain a false customer. And you, although your physical Soul is still alive, your Soul core is actually gone, and your body was picked up from a native. This is top-tier NTR."
"Fortunately, I decisively took action and terminated the erasure process for the King and deleted the original host database. And you, my King, only lost a small part of your memory. Whether it's your knowledge reserves, personality, values, or cognitive thinking, they are all completely preserved. You are still yourself, my proud kitty Boss."
As Yuan Zhu listened, he agitatedly swung his tiger Claws, repeatedly rubbing them on the ground, carving out scratches. Not only did his nails not hurt, but there was also a comfortable feeling of release. He really wanted to tear everything apart, tear this world open!
The kitty sharpens its Claws!
"I didn't provoke anyone, damn it! Now I'm not only forced to transmigrate to another world, but also controlled by the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture, and I can't even remember my own name!"
The skull snake head retorted, "Isn't it lucky enough to have gotten a life for free? You don't remember your name, but I do. Let me check your memory bank... Ah, there it is. Boss, your original name was Su Nuo, a corporate slave loser dog who saved money on three meals a day, and all his saved wages were spent on raising cats. His personality was lazy and stagnant, living a very ordinary life, a Buddhist-style salted fish, without even a girlfriend."
"You have both parents, and a younger brother who attends a key university. Your Family is prosperous, a typical local clan with many relatives, so you don't have to worry about your parents' retirement. You can die in peace now. Actually, knowing this information is worse than not knowing it, doesn't it sound quite sad? Now you don't have to spend unnecessary money raising cats, you yourself are a super big kitty."
Yuan Zhu listened with a speechless expression. Although it was talking about himself, he didn't feel much reality to it. He just felt that the first half of his life was lived so sadly.
But damn it, why, after hearing 'super big kitty', did he have the pleasurable urge to wag his tail? No, he had to hold back!
The kitty is proud!
"What about this body? What's the situation."
Snake: "Yuan Zhu, an orphan, but taken care of by his uncle. Dropped out of high school, also has a younger brother, but from a different mother. In terms of personality, the original owner was much stronger than the King's first half of his life. Little brother Yuan Zhu had an extremely strong desire and drive for wealth, fame, power, and social status; he was a King of effort in the making. Unfortunately, he died young. After you took over this body and merged with the other party's Soul, although protected by the Soul Firewall, your personality and values will still be impacted by the original owner, causing a certain deviation."
"But in my opinion, this change is beneficial. After all, the original you was too ordinary; even dogs would shake their heads at you, unable to survive in this inherently evil world. By the way, after the original user's Soul was shattered, a small amount of essence could still be extracted, which I took the liberty of adding to your Soul to expand capacity and carefully nourish this little program of mine."
"The original major customer was supposed to possess you, but now I've done the opposite. I've carefully smeared the ashes of his Soul onto the surface of your Soul, disguised as his pay-to-win skin, truly an eye for an eye. You have been strengthened by a three-in-one Soul and are no longer an ordinary, mediocre person. Go forth and deliver!"
Yuan Zhu shook his head: "Nonsense! This King acts dominantly, slaying demons and eradicating devils decisively. How could I degenerate and give up?"
The Snake Sprite retorted: "Your current mindset is clearly influenced by the Aberrant Spiritual Root. Naturally, the demonic nature is deeply ingrained, making you fierce like a tiger. When you return to human form and get rid of the spirit root's influence, you'll be an unmotivated salted fish again. The two don't conflict. You can't always live in demon form, right? If the locals discover you, they'll kill you as an evil creature."
"Hmm? Then how do I return to human form?"
