    Chapter 65: Steady Loyal Dog x Dual-Souled Genius 01

    System Space.

    The red-robed man, holding the cat-like System, casually stroked the sleek little kitty in his hand, his indifferent gaze sweeping towards a certain spacetime.

    It was the novel world where Liang Jue had just been reborn.

    The abused male protagonist, who should have been plunged into despair and death once again, had broken free from the world’s shackles and embarked on a new life, a long road that belonged to Liang Jue.

    System 143 asked in confusion: [Why do you still use the sky-screen to help him rekindle his faith? Our mission has already been perfectly completed.]

    It was supposed to take its host to a new mission world, but the host stopped it and instead gifted the reborn version of Liang Jue in the parallel spacetime with an opportunity.

    Changli lowered his eyes, meeting System 143’s questioning round cat pupils, “I just wanted him to know what the path I chose was like.”

    “I want to tell him that even in despair, life can be found.”

    Since Liang Jue had gained the opportunity to be reborn, he should seize the opportunity to soar upwards, rather than become an unknown lonely ghost in some desolate mountain.

    System 143 still didn’t quite understand, [Even so, can he really defy fate?]

    In the character information it received, Liang Jue was a typical tragic character, exuding an indescribable sorrow from birth to death.

    His birth mother resented him, and his birth father hated him.

    Everyone around him left him, eventually forcing him onto that dead end.

    Changli touched the System’s head, his gaze drifting indifferently into the distance.

    “…He can.”

    “Liang Jue has never been weak.”

    A cold palace prince who could live to adulthood, evade the Rebellion of the Eight Princes, and ascend the throne was definitely not a fool, and could even be called intelligent.

    Moreover, the Liang Dynasty that Liang Jue had inherited was already riddled with internal and external problems, teetering on the brink of collapse. If Liang Jue’s imperial brothers had been in his place, they probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on for even three years before losing the country, but Liang Jue had held on for a full ten years.

    Ten years of time, Liang Jue had devoted countless efforts.

    Even though Liang Jue ultimately committed suicide in despair, it couldn’t prove that he was an incompetent ruler. It could only show that Liang Jue was completely disappointed in that world.

    Despair could destroy a person more thoroughly than suffering.

    What’s more, after Liang Jue’s suicide, the Liang Dynasty fell apart, and rebel kings emerged everywhere. At that time, the Liang Dynasty was in true darkness.

    This last Liang Emperor, whose posthumous title was Min (meaning “to pity” or “to sympathize”), was not without ability, but lost to fate, lost to that drag of an abused male protagonist identity.

    Now, Liang Jue would no longer be bound by the male protagonist halo, and would walk a brand new path.

    Emperor Jing was both Liang Jue’s example and guide.

    System 143 grabbed its ears blankly, nodding as if it understood.

    [Oh, if you say he can, then he can, I guess.]

    Its host had better judgment than it did, and it believed that its host’s judgment wouldn’t be wrong.

    The cat system, having tossed aside the previous matter of the live sky-screen and Liang Jue himself, asked excitedly: [Host, are we starting a new mission now?]

    Changli nodded slightly, “Yes, pick a mission, let’s switch worlds and continue.”

    System 143 quickly rummaged through the pile of weighty tasks that the main system had stuffed at it, and picked out one with a higher points reward.

    [Host, this mission has two wish fulfillers.]

    It told its beautiful host the mission content of the two wish fulfillers one by one.

    [Wish Mission 1: Study at the Josel Military Academy and become the strongest mecha pilot in the Hua’an Empire.]

    [Wish Mission 2: First, find out the cause of the original body’s death and avenge the original owner; second, concentrate on cultivating the Dao, and don’t tarnish the reputation of a Daoist prodigy.]

    “I see, let’s go.” Changli responded with a faint expression, and in the next second, he disappeared directly from the system space to begin a new mission.

    *

    Interstellar World 6932.

    The handsome man lying on the hospital bed regained the breath of a living person at the moment of his death, and his tightly closed eyelids trembled unconsciously.

    He looked at the surrounding environment and closed his eyes again.

    System 143 quickly transmitted all the memories of the two wish fulfillers into its host’s brain.

    [Host, you should accept the original owner’s memory first, ha~]

    The complete memories of the two wish fulfillers were shown in Changli’s mind like a movie.

    The first wish fulfiller was the owner of this body.

    His name was Noah, he was twenty years old this year, and he was a student from the Kelan Kexi planet who was about to graduate from the local secondary academy and enter the Josel Military Academy.

    The direction he chose was the mecha pilot major.

    What this kid dreamed of was becoming the most outstanding mecha pilot in the Hua’an Empire he was in.

    However, his dream-fulfilling road was cut off abruptly at the age of twenty, so there was the first wish mission.

    After reading the memory of the first wish fulfiller, Changli carefully flipped through Noah’s memory again, and found four doubts in this memory.

    The first point was that Noah seemed to have had a serious illness before the age of seven, and he lost all his memories. He only had memories of living and studying on Kelan Kexi Star after the age of seven.

    The second point was that Noah’s family situation was very strange. His mother died early, but he had no memory of it, indicating that his mother most likely died before he was seven years old, and there were secrets hidden in that missing memory.

    Noah did have a father, but his father was away from home for work all year round. However, his father never skimped on his daily expenses, and many things were bought at great expense on Kelan Kexi Star.

    Therefore, Noah’s father’s identity must be extraordinary, and he was very likely to be in a high position, but he had to raise his son on an alien planet for some reason.

    The third point was that the neighbors near Noah’s residence seemed to be the most normal local people of Kelan Kexi planet, but they were actually arranged by someone to protect Noah, the silly kid who was addicted to mecha research.

    This someone should be Noah’s father.

    However, with the limited information currently available, Changli could not analyze Noah’s father’s identity.

    The fourth point was, how did Noah die?

    According to Noah’s memory, he lived as usual and went to sleep as usual, but he never woke up, and there were no fatal injuries on his body.

    Then, who killed this unknown aspiring mecha pilot under heavy guard?

    Could it be Noah’s father’s enemy?

    With a question mark in his heart, Changli continued to flip through the memory of the second wish fulfiller.

    This person’s name was Lin Qingning, a transmigrator who had returned his soul, and the world he lived in was called Blue Star, and the era he was in was called the Republic of China.

    To put it bluntly, Lin Qingning was a young Taoist priest who lived in the Republic of China.

    The social environment he was in was during the Anti-Japanese War.

    In the twentieth year of the Republic of China, the nineteen-year-old Lin Qingning followed his master, uncle, and senior brothers down the mountain to fight the war, leaving only the young disciple who was not yet eighteen years old to guard the mountain gate.

    This group of Taoist disciples who cared about the country used their actions to practice the saying, “In prosperous times, close the door to thank pilgrims; in troubled times, carry the sword down the mountain to save the common people.”

    Lin Qingning was not the first Taoist priest to die in battle, nor was he the last.

    He died in the autumn of the 21st year of the Republic of China at the young age of twenty.

    He didn’t see the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, nor did he see the establishment of the new government, and he didn’t wait for the day when the prosperous world would come and return to the Taoist temple.

    The red flag was flying, a prosperous China.

    Although Lin Qingning didn’t see it with his own eyes, he saw it from the past history of the Hua’an Empire, and also knew the final result of that war.

    The predecessor of the Hua’an Empire was the New China after the Republic of China where Lin Qingning was located.

    Lin Qingning, who had traveled to future generations after his death, had no regrets.

    No longer concerned about the past, he began to think about who killed the dead body he had occupied, and at least he had to avenge the other party in order to end the cause and effect.

    At the same time, he did not forget to continue practicing Taoism.

    It was a pity that he didn’t have time to find the murderer who killed Noah, and he couldn’t concentrate on enlightenment, so he died again, with the same unknown cause of death as Noah.

    And he only traveled for less than a month.

    This unexpected death made him die again before he could take action.

    Lin Qingning, who felt that he had occupied Noah’s body for more than half a month, was unwilling to owe people cause and effect, so he was reluctant to be reincarnated, and therefore had the second wish mission. Of course, he was also a little unwilling to have his Taoist path cut off.

    In his previous life, he abandoned Taoism for the sake of national righteousness and eventually died in battle, which could be justified, but this time he was gone before he had time to cultivate.

    He felt that Noah was wronged, and he was wronged too!
