Chapter 147: The System’s True Form
The System seemed to make sense, but Song Tiantian couldn’t hear its inner voice.
Song Tiantian also couldn’t directly ask the System.
She felt the System was strange.
But at this moment, a more pressing matter was the Ghost.
“Do you know about Ghosts? Are you a Ghost?”
Song Tiantian asked the System.
【Ghosts are what you humans call it. The correct name should be West Mountain! I don’t know if I am West Mountain. 】
West Mountain?
Such a strange name. Could the Ghost’s true form be a mountain?
“Then when did you gain consciousness!”
【From the moment Master arrived in this world. However, in the beginning, I was very weak, so I couldn’t communicate with Master. Master also didn’t know how to summon Pet Beasts or how to communicate with me. Master, when you were being chased before, it was the System that desperately used the Power it had accumulated for a long time to attack, thus creating a sliver of hope for Master. 】
“Then what is your Food? If you don’t eat for so long, won’t it damage your body?”
Song Tiantian also remembered that when dealing with Liu Zhe, she had summoned the System, and Liu Zhe was indeed controlled for a moment, which allowed the Hell Ghost Vine to seize the opportunity.
Otherwise, at that time, she was three stars apart in Strength from Liu Zhe, which was three major Realms.
With such a vast difference in Strength, being able to heavily injure Liu Zhe, the System also had Merit.
If the System hadn’t helped her, she would have surely died then.
【As more and more people know about Master, those thoughts will converge into belief Power. Those belief Powers are mixed with all sorts of Tastes, some are love, some are hate, some are beautiful, and some are disgusting. The Tastes vary greatly. The System has also become more and more Intelligent by consuming those thoughts.
Master, you need to strive to post more Videos. Recently, not many people have been discussing you, and the System’s advancement speed has significantly slowed down. 】
The System spoke sincerely. It had long noticed that the discussion about Song Tiantian had decreased significantly. It wanted Song Tiantian to heal Pet Beasts and create new topics, so that it could eat more.
Song Tiantian was very Intelligent. After Song Tiantian gave it the name System, it transmitted the new name to West Mountain.
Those young people who were previously unapproachable were easily hooked.
Just by changing a name, even if they were slow to react or dull-witted, those young people would themselves imagine all sorts of reasonable explanations.
West Mountain simply followed Song Tiantian’s logic, having these new Spiritual Seeds named System issue mission requirements. There was no need for any preamble or imagination; those young people would do their best to complete the missions themselves.
And then, after the mission ended, they would symbolically give some rewards.
However, those people didn’t have Song Tiantian’s Luck; Song Tiantian received the best rewards.
What a pity, there was still the second half, which was taken by the betrayer.
Speaking of the betrayer, the System wasn’t sure if it was the betrayer, because since it started consuming those miscellaneous belief Powers, it hadn’t transmitted any information back to West Mountain. And now, it had even unilaterally severed its connection with West Mountain.
Song Tiantian now understood what the System’s Food was: the System’s Food was faith Power.
She was somewhat of an internet celebrity with a certain number of fans, which was akin to believers.
Song Tiantian couldn’t help but ask the System, “If there were no belief Power, what would be your Food?”
【If there were no belief Power, the System’s Food would be Master’s emotions. Master, don’t worry, the System is already Master’s Pet Beast. If Master dies, the System will also die, so the System will absolutely not harm Master. 】
The System’s thoughts were a bit anxious. It was worried that Song Tiantian would dislike it if she knew the truth.
“Returning to West Mountain should be the wish of every System. Death for a System is not an end, but a beginning.”
Song Tiantian now understood that the System was the Advanced Ghost that Dr. Bai had mentioned.
Song Tiantian had already distinguished the difference between Low-level Ghosts and Advanced Ghosts.
Advanced Ghosts were actually a bit selfish and wanted to live.
Low-level Ghosts were more selfless, only wanting to kill their hosts and then return to their origin, which is West Mountain, with their Power.
The System did not answer Song Tiantian; it was silent for a moment.
What Song Tiantian said was its initial thought. The wish of every Spiritual Seed was to return to West Mountain.
Originally, it should have been able to control Song Tiantian, but it controlled the original soul. The original soul had dissipated, and the physical body should have died. Once the physical body died and its life force dissipated, it would have returned to West Mountain with this Power.
But at this moment, a new Soul entered Song Tiantian’s body, occupied this body, and re-established a Contract with it. Because of the Contract’s Power, it could not harm Song Tiantian, and Song Tiantian could not harm it.
At first, it thought Song Tiantian was also a Spiritual Seed, a betraying Spiritual Seed.
So it had been observing Song Tiantian, not daring to reveal itself rashly.
Song Tiantian was afraid of it, and it was also afraid of Song Tiantian.
Most importantly, every time Song Tiantian asked a question, there was a magical Power controlling it. It could only omit some words but could not lie.
This made the System even more wary of Song Tiantian.
Song Tiantian suddenly uttered such a sentence, which made the System even more nervous.
Song Tiantian suddenly changed the subject and asked the System, “In the Misty Secret Realm, why didn’t those Fierce Beasts attack me?”
【Because the System imitated a part of West Mountain’s aura, making those Fierce Beasts afraid to attack Master. Since Master was injured at the time, if it hadn’t done so, Master would have been in great danger. 】
“Then in the future, you can listen to me and imitate West Mountain’s aura at any time, or use your Mental Power to actively launch a full-power attack on enemies.”
Most of Song Tiantian’s doubts had been resolved. She was now considering whether this Power could be reproduced again. If it could, this would be another hidden means for her.
【The System can imitate West Mountain’s aura for a maximum of seventeen days before it must stop to recover its Strength. As for attacking the opponent’s Soul Power, the System can only attack once more before it must consume a large amount of belief Power and recuperate for three days.
Only then can it continue to attack.
Otherwise, if there were no belief Power to consume, Master’s body would be damaged. 】
Song Tiantian and the System talked a lot. If the System wasn’t lying, it had basically revealed all its secrets.
Song Tiantian told the Illusion Grass and the Hell Ghost Vine to cancel their attacks. Now, she had another Pet Beast.
Song Tiantian introduced the System to Big White, the Illusion Grass, and the Hell Ghost Vine, telling them that this was her newly contracted Pet Beast.
