In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 536 What are you babbling about? Watch me activate the Immortal Execution Sword!

"This is truly a remarkable achievement."

Upon hearing Xuan Yi Tianjun's introduction, Su Yuan expressed his heartfelt admiration.

He paused, then asked expectantly:

"Then can the Immortal Execution Sword be launched at any time to the vicinity of the weak point of the cosmic boundary, thus deterring the Boundless Calamity Venerable?"

Xuan Yi Tianjun nodded, and then said:

"However, before the Zhuxian Sword is launched, we need to discuss carefully who will be the sword wielder."

“Su Yuan, although we have great faith in your abilities, being a Swordholder is not something that can be done simply by having the ability.”

"Even a mortal can activate the Immortal Execution Sword in an instant, so what is truly important for becoming the sword wielder is a person with a firm Dao heart who dares to press the button that destroys the cultivation civilization."

Wu Luo Tianjun nodded in agreement:

“Indeed, not just anyone can be the sword bearer. Su Yuan, you should think it over carefully.”

"The psychological and moral pressure required to unleash the Immortal Execution Sword is simply too great. It is no exaggeration to say that a qualified sword wielder is basically a super demon with self-destructive tendencies."

After listening silently to the reminders from his two elders, Su Yuan fell into deep thought.

I know you're all rambling on for my own good, but after listening to your advice, I feel like I'm more suited to be the Swordholder.

I do not have a strong tendency toward self-destruction.

But after I unleash the Immortal Execution Sword and pierce through the cosmic barrier, there are generous mission rewards!

If I hadn't suspected the dog system was faulty, I would have activated it the moment I gained control of the Zhuxian Sword.

However, Su Yuan didn't voice these thoughts. Instead, he put on an expression of deep agreement and asked:
"Senior Xuan Yi, may I ask how exactly are the Sword Bearers selected? What are the selection criteria?"

Xuan Yi Tianjun organized his thoughts and said:

"We have already prepared a thorough selection process for this."

"Simply put, it means first selecting suitable candidates from the vast population of Earth, and then gathering them at Taixu University."

"At Taixu University, there is a simplified version of Taixu Illusion Realm that Chu Lanxi has just built. The qualified participants will face various extreme situations in virtual reality and make corresponding choices."

"Among thousands of qualified candidates, only the one who receives the highest score and is recognized by all the judges can become the official Swordholder."

Su Yuan nodded and said casually:

"With so many qualified candidates, I'm sure you don't need me. Senior Xuanyi, please include me too, so I can try my luck in the exam."

"By the way, when does the final selection begin?"

Xuan Yi Tianjun had no doubts and said:

"If you want to give it a try, then give it a try. As for the selection time, it's actually set for this afternoon."

"During the construction of the Zhuxian Sword, we have completed a large-scale open selection process, choosing a total of 1,229 qualified candidates."

Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Launching the Immortal-Slaying Sword to create a deterrent against the Boundless Calamity Venerable is something that should be done as quickly as possible.

"Senior Xuan Yi, are there any acquaintances among these qualified candidates?"

Su Yuan asked another question out of curiosity.

“You should know Xuan Haoran, Leng Qianliu and Mortis, but apart from these three, none of your other friends were selected.”

"You know, although you are an evil demon, most of the cadres in the Yuan Cult are still good people."

Xuan Yi Tianjun replied.

Su Yuan: "..."

You're trying to find ways to harass me, aren't you!
Hmph, once I become the sole qualified candidate, I'll see how I slap you all in the face. Wait... doesn't Cheng's ability to stand out from a bunch of potential demons further prove that Xuan Yi Tianjun was right?
Ugh! So annoying!
Su Yuan pursed his lips, and after visiting the Divine Craftsman Palace with the two Heavenly Lords, seeing that it was almost time, he went to Taixu University with them.

Xuan Yi Tianjun and Wu Luo Tianjun, along with the Nascent Soul cultivators on Blue Star, were all judges for this selection of suitable candidates.

On the square of Taixu University, 1,230 entry pods were neatly arranged. In front of the judges' seats at the edge of the square, there was a large virtual screen that allowed the judges to see the performance of each qualified candidate in the virtual illusion in real time.

The judges were mostly people Su Yuan knew.

There are three demon lords from the Yu Xuan World, Gui Yuan, and several members of the Ten Heavenly Lords of Blue Star.

The only person who was somewhat unfamiliar to Su Yuan was the recently returned Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Observation Pavilion.

He was a middle-aged man with deep, silver eyes.

However, Su Yuan was not entirely unfamiliar with him, as his son, Xuan Haoran, worked for the Yuan Sect.

Once all the judges had arrived, and with a command from Wuluo Tianjun, all the qualified candidates entered the entry pod, officially beginning the selection process.

after an hour.

After watching the candidates' performance in virtual reality and looking at the computer-printed report cards, the judges fell silent.

Among the 1,230 qualified candidates, Su Yuan's performance can be described as far ahead.

The criteria for judging the results of this selection are actually very simple.

First, using the personality data of Wuliang Jiezun provided by Guiyuan, a model of Wuliang Jiezun was created to simulate his choices in various situations.

The eligible ones, on the other hand, must make a timely choice when the immeasurable calamity lord attacks: either deter, remain silent, or directly break through the cosmic barrier and fight to the death.

Only by making the right choice will the Boundless Calamity Venerable hesitate to act against the Blue Star Federation.

However, if the sword wielder is too weak or if the Boundless Calamity Venerable sees through his true nature, then he will not hesitate to launch a thunderous attack on Blue Star.

In the vast majority of qualified individuals' records, the probability that Wuliang Jiezun ignored the threat of the Zhuxian Sword and directly destroyed Blue Star is over 80%.

Even for the other group of qualified individuals with better performance, the probability can only be reduced to around 68% at most.

But Su Yuan is different.

Su Yuan's achievements can be described as outstanding.

If he were to become the Swordholder, the probability that the Boundless Calamity Venerable would disregard all threats and destroy Blue Star would be... 0%!

This sounds like a very good result.

But in addition to this 0% probability, there is another scoring criterion.

That is the probability that a qualified individual might recklessly unleash the Immortal Slaughtering Sword under extreme circumstances.

The vast majority of qualified individuals have a success rate of 30% to 50% in this area.

And what about Su Yuan?

The probability of him activating the Immortal Execution Sword is 100%!

If things go wrong, he will not hesitate to press the button to destroy the world, without any mercy or hesitation.

Even if the Boundless Tribulation Venerable in the simulated assessment were incredibly fast, he couldn't outpace Su Yuan's speed in pressing the button.

As for those less extreme situations, will Su Yuan act accordingly?

Yes! He will!

This kid doesn't seem to care about destroying the world at all!

Rather, it's more accurate to say there's a sense of impatience in it!
"Su Yuan's condition has worsened again."

After staring at Su Yuan's report card for a long, long time, Wu Luo Tianjun finally sighed helplessly.
