Regarding the system within him, Liang Yi always found it to be elusive and unpredictable.

Liang Yi believed that there was no such thing as free help in the world, nor such a thing as a free lunch.

Where this system came from and why it attached itself to him, Liang Yi had no idea. However, since the system had appeared in him, it must have some purpose.

But even with Liang Yi's current realm, trying to investigate this vague and elusive system still yielded no results; he couldn't detect any abnormal presence.

Whether it was the enhancement of his realm or his Daoist skills, it seemed as though the experience emerged out of thin air. Moreover, this experience didn't conflict with him at all; it was as if he had cultivated it himself.

This completely irrational wonder far surpassed Liang Yi's current knowledge and was something he fundamentally couldn't comprehend.

After helping Liang Yi through the initial stages, the presence of the system began to decrease in a way that Liang Yi noticeably felt.

If it weren't for some major event requiring the issuing of tasks, the system almost never showed itself.

And the need for the system to issue tasks involved extremely powerful cultivators, just like with this case of the White Tiger Envoy.

"Indifferent to the World Origin created by rules, but craving the masterless World Origin, huh?"

Liang Yi pinched his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

From the system's recent behaviors, it doesn't seem to not need the World Origin; on the contrary, it seems to need it very much.

"But it had no interest in the previous World Origins, so it must not be unwilling, but unable."

Liang Yi's eyes brightened; he was beginning to understand.

The previous World Origins must have had some problems unknown to him, which is why the system didn't target them.

The biggest characteristic of the World Origins in the White Tiger Envoy's ring is that they are masterless and usable by anyone, unlike the World Origin in Liang Yi's right hand, which only he can use.

The system cannot target World Origins that already have a master; it can only absorb masterless World Origins.

After checking his body and absorbing a large amount of World Origin – although nearly 90% was absorbed by the system – Liang Yi still gained many benefits.

His realm advanced significantly, jumping two levels, and he was now almost at the middle stage of the Seventh Realm.

Additionally, his mind became extremely clear, his thinking speed dramatically increased, almost as if he had entered a state of Daoist Enlightenment. Merely recalling some Daoist Skills he had learned could deepen his understanding of them.

The last and biggest benefit was another upgrade to the system privileges!

The most tangible benefit was that the proportion of experience he could collect from players had increased. Although the increase was small, the basis of the massive number of players meant that the extra experience Liang Yi could gain would be an incredibly formidable figure.

This also gave Liang Yi a clear path for enhancement, which was through masterless World Origins.

"Masterless World Origins—I haven't heard of such a thing for a long time. I'll ask the master when he returns if he knows about it."

Liang Yi scratched his head, wishing he could immediately find a barrel of World Origin to feed the system.

Regardless of the system's purpose in merging with him, at least now he had to rely on the system to rapidly enhance his realm, hoping to reach a level that could protect anyone before the situation in the war became irreversible.

Now that his master was already at the Great Perfection of the Ninth Realm, he should have a deep understanding of World Origins and might help obtain some.

The masterless World Origins were completely absorbed, while the few groups belonging solely to Liang Yi remained untouched.

Liang Yi looked at the pitiful little White Tiger at his feet, thought for a moment, then threw one of the previously eaten groups to it to keep it busy.

If the White Tiger could grow up sooner, it could also help with the war sooner.

Watching the World Origin that Liang Yi tossed, the White Tiger leapt up, tightly embraced it and landed steadily, affectionately rubbed Liang Yi's leg in thanks, then lay down to absorb it.

Liang Yi clapped his hands, ready to retract his Divine Sense after examining the ring once more.

But at that moment, Liang Yi suddenly paused, a book of dull yellow ancient-looking leather, yet in pristine condition, it looked extremely well-preserved, appeared in his hand.

"What is this?"

Just as Liang Yi's Divine Sense was about to leave the ring, he accidentally noticed this leather book lying behind the World Origin, hidden in the dark.

With no Spirit Light surrounding it, nor any malevolent aura, just an ordinary, simple looking book lying within a small Array.

The Array was but a common one used by cultivators to preserve items, at most a Ninth Grade.

Such an ordinary item appearing here seemed rather extraordinary.

Liang Yi carefully inspected it back and forth several times and discovered that it really was just a leather book as ordinary as any, used by common folk to send their children to learn in schools.

After confirming there were no issues, Liang Yi then held his breath and slowly opened the leather book in his hands, eager to explore its mysteries.

"Diary?"

When Yu Liangyi saw the densely packed handwriting inside the notebook, he was stunned because it recorded some events from the childhood of the White Tiger Envoy.

The handwriting in the notebook was very childish, slanted and ugly, and the recorded events were all ordinary trivial matters.

Yu Liangyi silently found a chair to sit down, while the White Tiger shifted its body, obediently lying down beside Yu Liangyi's feet.

Time slowly passed with the sound of Yu Liangyi turning the pages.

"Slap!"

When the last page was turned over, Yu Liangyi closed the notebook in his hands, closed his eyes, and leaned back against the chair to relax.

He did not use Divine Sense to scan through it directly. Instead, he relied on his naked eyes to slowly flip through Bai Sheng's diary, as if looking through time and space to witness a completely different Bai Sheng.

A person's character is inseparable from everything they experience in childhood, and Yu Liangyi has always believed this.

When Bai Sheng first appeared before him, he was a cultivator walking the Slaughter Dao. Yu Liangyi did not care why he chose this path; he just needed to know that he was an enemy.

But now, by a stroke of fate, he got the diary that, although useless, was still treasured by Bai Sheng as something even more precious than the World Origin. This gave Yu Liangyi some understanding of Bai Sheng's childhood.

When his parents were swept away by the aftermath caused by two fighting cultivators while working in the fields, their modest property was also taken over by snide relatives.

Having wandered for years and seen all the coldness of the world, witnessing the darkest depths of human hearts.

Bai Sheng, who had only attended school for two or three days, started to keep records in the diary to affirm his will to survive, chronicling his experiences over the years.

Later, due to lack of space in the diary, he only noted down significant events, all the way until he was discovered by the Devouring Spirit Sect as a candidate to bear the White Tiger Authority, which marked the end.

Yu Liangyi read every word from beginning to end, witnessing how a pure and confused young boy was gradually twisted by the cruel world.

Orphaned and despised by relatives, the initially trusting Bai Sheng experienced his first betrayal early in his wandering life.

Subsequently, Bai Sheng tried to save money to report to the government, hoping for justice, but ended up being swindled by the government officer who colluded with his relatives, took his money, beat him half to death, and threw him into a foul ditch.

The resilient Bai Sheng survived and fled to other lands, hoping to gain power and return for revenge.

While Bai Sheng knelt countless times seeking entry onto the Immortal Path and hoping to gain power for revenge, he was noticed by an evil cultivator.

This fake apprenticeship was an excuse to steal the abundant Primordial Yang Qi within Bai Sheng's body.

Only when Bai Sheng, nearly turned into a Spirit Pill, luckily escaped, did he completely despair.

While healing from severe injuries in a dilapidated temple, Bai Sheng saw a scholarly-looking man attempting to drug and assault his female companion amidst a storm. What remained of Bai Sheng's conscience spurred him to help her.

However, due to his injuries, he passed out midway, and this scholar turned the situation around, casting himself as a hero, which the woman believed after waking up, rather than Bai Sheng.

The imprisoned Bai Sheng, sent into the depths of despair in the darkness, thought only of death as a release.

But an elder of the Devouring Spirit Sect, disguised and hidden in that city, accidentally saw Bai Sheng in prison, discovered his qualification to bear the White Tiger Authority, and after reporting to the Sect Hierarch, rescued him and brought him into the Devouring Spirit Sect.

And thus the thoroughly warped Bai Sheng stepped onto the path of cultivation, and after gaining power, gradually became the White Tiger Envoy known to Yu Liangyi.

"It's a pity..."

Yu Liangyi inwardly expressed regret, as from the diary alone, he could see several moments where Bai Sheng was at a turning point. If someone had offered help at any of those times, Bai Sheng's life trajectory could have changed.

Yu Liangyi believed all these events were true, although he was unclear how many years ago they had occurred.

Yu Liangyi did not know what eventually happened to those who had once humiliated Bai Sheng, but by the time Bai Sheng joined the Devouring Spirit Sect, he had already completely fallen. From that entire page of scribbled "kill" characters, Yu Liangyi could sense a twist of killing intent.

Yu Liangyi sighed, stood up, and held the leather-bound notebook while standing on the edge of a cliff.

With a flicker of Spiritual Power, the notebook spontaneously combusted in his hands, illuminating Yu Liangyi's expressionless face.

Amid the dancing winds on the cliff's edge, the notebook burned into mere remnants in mere moments and was casually tossed off the cliff by Yu Liangyi.

Watching the sparking flames fall like fireflies, Yu Liangyi suddenly realized why Bai Sheng had previously failed to break through to Great Perfection in the Eighth Realm and was counter-attacked by killing intent and resentful souls.

It must have been due to this inner demon!

Even if Bai Sheng had taken his revenge years ago, even though he had vented his hatred towards the world through endless slaughter over the years, the experiences of his youth were like a fine, hidden poison thorn lodged in Bai Sheng's heart.

Usually causing no symptoms, but when Bai Sheng attempted to break through to the Ninth Realm and faced the Heart Inquiry, this poison thorn revealed itself, manifesting as a mental demon that backfired!

People who are pitiable have aspects that are detestable, and those who are detestable have their own tragic sorrows.
