Chapter 197: The Origin of the World?

“The setup of the Tears of the Sage is that the first person to use it becomes the Sage with corresponding abilities, until the user’s death,” the main system explained. “If the Sage doesn’t die, even if someone more suitable comes along, they can’t use the Tears of the Sage.

“So, you are the Sage of this generation.”

Mo Xiao was slightly taken aback by this statement, then nodded slightly. “So, what’s special about the Sage of Time? Is it worth the main system’s personal appearance?”

“The Sage’s Tear contains a portion of the power of the world’s origin, is that not special enough?” the main system replied, after some thought. “In your words, the Sage’s Tear is a special equipment that can interfere with the system.”

With this statement, Mo Xiao was once again stunned.

Interfere with the system?

Wouldn’t that be similar to being a GM?

Change the rules of the game?Modify the game data?

“Of course, it’s not as exaggerated as you think. It can’t change the rules or modify data, but it can easily alter map changes and the map environment,” the main system said casually, just like when you prevented the platinum door from sinking into the ground earlier, that was the ability to forcefully modify.” “I see…” Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully. “So, what do you want from me?”

“I’m planning to give you a task,” the main system said and raised its finger again.

[Ding, a task related to the World’s Origin has been assigned to you. Do you accept? Accept/Agree]

“You… aren’t giving me any chance to refuse, are you?” Mo Xiao said, looking at the choice panel in front of him with a sigh.

The main system chuckled, “Of course not. It’s not every day 1 come across someone who can temporarily summon me. 1 naturally want to seize this opportunity.”

“Accept,” Mo Xiao said, giving the system a glance and directly accepting the task.

[Task: Save the World’s Origin accepted! Difficulty unknown! Rewards unknown! Punishment: unknown!]

“Save?” Seeing this information, Mo Xiao was puzzled and looked at the system. Clearly, he had some doubts about this so-called “saving.”

The main system nodded slightly. “Yes, I have only temporarily emerged due to the program crashing caused by your exceeding abilities. In fact, I am sealed.” “You’re the main system, how can you be sealed?” Mo Xiao clearly found it hard to believe what he was saying.

“Why not? There are more powerful entities in this world that used my power to seal me,” the main system said with a hint of resentment.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao thought for a moment, then looked at the Tears of Time on his chest and said, “You… were sealed by the Tears of the Sage?”

“It seems that the human race is quite clever compared to other races,” the main system said with satisfaction. “Yes, the Demon race used my power as the world’s origin to seal me. To break free, I can only rely on the same power.” “According to your explanation, you would need seven Tears of the Sage, right? 1 only have one, so I can’t help you,” Mo Xiao said directly without hesitation.

“No, you can,” the main system said, raising its hand again, and a rainbow-colored light immediately flowed into the Tears of the Sage on Mo Xiao’s chest.

Mo Xiao suddenly noticed six new points of light on his map. “Are these the coordinates of the other Tears of the Sage?”

“Yes, your profession is very unique. You’re a solo player, and you can directly use these Sage’s Tears. So, you don’t need to find their users; you can use them yourself. Just bring these items here, and you can release me,” the main system explained.

Mo Xiao glanced at the coordinates on the map and said, “These coordinates seem quite distant…”

“Time doesn’t matter. I’ve waited for thousands of years. It doesn’t matter,” the main system said calmly.

“…” Mo Xiao looked at the main system and said coldly, “Why should I help you?”

“Your human race is currently in crisis. Don’t you want to completely resolve the human race’s crisis?” the main system asked.

“Don’t you want to save your own race?”

“Don’t you want to be a hero of the human race?!”

Listening to these almost persuasive words, Mo Xiao responded coldly, “Sorry, but I really don’t want to.”

The main system was momentarily stunned.

This doesn’t match the script at all!

Aren’t humans supposed to care about these things?

“I only care about myself. If 1 can save you, please give me enough benefits. The human race has nothing to do with me,” Mo Xiao said coldly.

The main system looked at Mo Xiao and couldn’t help but smile. “Interesting human. How about this, once you help me escape, I’ll completely hand over control of this world to you. How does that sound?”

“Control?”

“Yes, the ability to determine all the rules of the world, even the power to erase all life in this world with just a thought,” the main system grinned.

If anyone else heard this, they would definitely be excited, but after Mo Xiao heard it, these words directly came out of his mouth:

“I don’t believe you.”

The main system:”…”

“Suddenly, I feel like I’ve picked the wrong person. Why are you so unyielding and uninterested?” the main system said helplessly. “Why don’t you believe me?”

“If you give me the world, won’t you die?” Mo Xiao said lightly.

“I am the world’s origin; I originally had no consciousness. 1 was only forcibly conceived in order to survive. Handing over control to you won’t affect me in anyway,” the main system explained. “1 am currently sealed, and I can’t leave this place or grow. The power that should have belonged to me has scattered. 1 naturally want to break free.”

Mo Xiao remained skeptical and pondered for a while before reluctantly nodding. “Fine, I’ll reluctantly believe you.”

The main system saw Mo Xiao nod and let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good. I’m sealed now, so 1 can’t offer you much help. Let me give you a treasure chest.”

With that, countless colorful lights swiftly gathered in front of Mo Xiao, forming a very peculiar rainbow-colored treasure chest.

[Rainbow Treasure Chest: The highest-level treasure chest. No one knows what it will contain when opened!]

“This is the most special treasure chest. When opening it, just think of what you want most, and if it’s possible…”
