"The Heavens…" Ye Tian Yun was shocked.
Wang Yao was revealing a lot of things. And many things were hard to believe.
"Yes, and it was the Emblem System who had suggested me the name." Wang Yao smiled.
Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes, "So, are you saying that the whole God' Legion was nothing but a sacrificial lamb for the Heavens to feast upon?"
Wang Yao let out a sigh, "Indeed."
Ye Tian Yun, "So, when you got to know that the System was scheming all this time, you came back in time?"
Wang Yao lightly nodded his head, "Yeah, but I was too late. I don't know how, but the Emblem System already knew about my interference. It changed the original plan and chose another host. And that was you."
"Why would it choose me?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "I was never planning to make an organization or a group."
Wang Yao smiled, "Well, the System was suffering a loss, but it had no better options."
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "It had a better option. The fourteen-year-old you who is currently in some city."
Wang Yao smiled, "I thought of that too, and that was why I spied on myself for a long time before confirming it was not me. Then I went to a different timeline and observed different people with who I had relations."
"In the end, only you stood out the most. As soon as I saw you that day, I felt the presence of the System."
"And from then on, I have observed you. However, the Heavenly Constraints around me increased a lot in the past few months, even though I wasn't planning to interfere yet. When you entered this city, I even invited the God's Legion members."
"Not because I wanted them to see how I killed you once again, but because I wanted to see if they could feel the system or not. Fortunately, none of them could."
"But during the assassination, due to the Heavenly Constraints, I was waiting for you to kill Xiao Ming before making a move, but fate had different plans, and I was able to interfere before you could even get to Xiao Ming. I think this happened after your friend, Jun Xie died."
Ye Tian Yun closed his eyes at the mention of Jun Xie and let out a sigh.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why is your cultivation so low then? Aren't you supposed to be above the Saint Realm?"
"It's the Heavenly Constraints. They have limited my cultivation."
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "If you had killed me, what would have happened to the future?"
Wang Yao shrugged, "No one knows. The timeline had already deviated a lot. I am afraid the original one doesn't even exist anymore."
"How can that be?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Didn't you say you send back the God's Legion members who came here with you?"
Wang Yao nodded, and with an expressionless face, he replied, "I did say that."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Doesn't that mean the future God's Legion doesn't exist anymore!?"
Wang Yao nodded, "They do not exist anymore."
"Ye Tian Yun, a timeline is a delicate thing. One of the reasons I brought them here was that I wanted to talk to them one last time. Your actions had already damaged the future. Things were getting troublesome. So I brought them here."
"And you didn't even tell them that they would die once they got back to the future?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.
Wang Yao let out a sigh, "I… couldn't bring myself to say anything."
Ye Tian Yun smirked but didn't say anything.
After a long silence, he said, "So you came from the future because you wanted to get back the System and relive your life."
Wang Yao shook his head, "That's only half true. I returned from the future to get back the System, but I had no plans to relive my life. I planned to go back to the destroyed timeline after taking the System from you, and end this once for all."
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh, "Alas, this is not possible anymore."
Wang Yao nodded, "I didn't get the system. Now, Ye Tian Yun, as promised, I answered your questions; tell me the name of the next host."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "What if I tell you and then kill you? Did you really not think of such a possibility?"
Wang Yao shrugged, "I did. But there was never an option for me."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "True. Alright, the next host of the Emblem System is you."
Wang Yao frowned, "What? But I didn't get the sys- wait! Wang Yao got the System!"
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Indeed, he did. And a new cycle has begun. If my calculations are right, a few days later, me and Butler Liu will visit your house. And that is where our first encounter will happen."
"Remember you told me how you got the system a few days before we first met…? Well, now we know."
Wang Yao's eyes opened wide, "It came from you….."
Ye Tian Yun smiled and nodded, "Indeed, it did. The only thing that bugs me is how were you the Previous Host if you got the system after me?"
Wang Yao thought for a moment and replied, "I think only the System knows the answer."
Ye Tian Yun let out a long breath, "I guess with the Emblem System against me, the difficulty just increased."
Then glancing at Wang Yao, he asked, "Will you now go and take the System from yourself?"
Wang Yao shook his head, "I can't. I can't take it from myself."
"What about me?" Ye Tian Yun asked, "Technically, I am the Previous Host right now."
Wang Yao shook his head, "It's not like that. The cycle is complicated. Only the System knows the exact answers. We can only try to comprehend it."
"There's nothing to lose in trying," Ye Tian Yun smiled, "I will give it a try when I meet the younger you in the next few days."
