Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

After calming down for a while, Hongyun left with Zhen Yuanzi, still stubbornly insisting on the way: "I never expected that doing a good deed like helping someone would make someone hold such a grudge!"

"You don't need to do this to help others achieve their goals!" Zhen Yuanzi said irritably. He had been quite angry for some time but hadn't said anything. Now that Hongyun had offended Yuanfeng, she had learned her lesson, so he no longer needed to dissuade her.

"How do you know it's unnecessary..." Hongyun was still somewhat unconvinced.

"Are you still going to play this game? Until the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin all want to kill you?" Zhen Yuanzi chuckled and raised an eyebrow as he asked.

Zhen Yuanzi knew Hongyun's temper perfectly well. Even if he was truly frightened and planned to go back into seclusion, he still needed to put on a tough front. Therefore, he didn't think Hongyun would dare to continue causing trouble.

"We're both born from the same source, so how come her magical power is so high?" Hongyun was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only sigh.

Hongyun had considered what would happen if he were discovered by Zulong or Yuanfeng, but he was always quite confident in his magical power, thinking that if he couldn't win, he could just run away, and if all else failed, he still had Zhenyuanzi's Earth Book. He never expected that Yuanfeng's magical power was so high that he almost lost his life on the spot, while Zhenyuanzi couldn't even enter the barrier.

Zhen Yuanzi sighed: "I told you to cultivate diligently, but you wouldn't listen. If you encounter a true master, you'll only be able to sit and wait for your death."

Hongyun was truly frightened, and without Zhen Yuanzi carrying her, she followed him back to Wanshou Mountain.

Once inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun finally breathed a sigh of relief: "How come everyone else encounters countless opportunities and romantic encounters while traveling through the prehistoric world, but I just had to slink back like this?"

Why can't he share some of the opportunities and domineering spirit of those transmigrators? From the time he transmigrated until now, every enemy he has encountered has been a formidable foe, from ferocious beasts to phoenixes, none of whom he can defeat.

Zhen Yuanzi smiled helplessly: "How do you know what others are like? Besides, even if others travel through the prehistoric world, they most likely won't get involved in as much trouble and grudges as you have!"

Hongyun sighed. Could it be that she lacked that domineering spirit? Why did the plot of the "cool" novels have nothing to do with her except for time travel?

This system is useless!

"Ding! The host is useless; don't blame the system. This system's shop has everything. If the host has the ability, they can become a saint at any time."

Hongyun remained completely unmoved. Becoming a saint? With his current level of anger and moral failings, he was lucky if he could even pay off his debts.

"Have you paid off your debts yet?"

[Ding! Host's current anger level is 253,455 points, and their immorality level is -150 points.]

Hongyun sighed deeply again: "I almost lost my life, and I still haven't paid off my debts."

"Ding! The host is indeed useless!" The system solemnly rebuked Hongyun.

Hongyun lay on the couch and sighed again.

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled at Hongyun's spineless behavior, stopped lecturing her, and simply left.

Hongyun quickly looked over: "Zhen Yuanzi, Zhen Yuanzi!"

Zhen Yuanzi stopped and turned around: "What is it?"

"The Earth Book Barrier is open!" Hongyun smiled ingratiatingly, afraid that Yuanfeng might want to kill him at any moment, or that Zulong might come seeking revenge after learning about his dragon-eating.

Zhen Yuanzi rolled his eyes at him. Now that he knows fear, how could he eat with such gusto! However, just as Hongyun had said, he took out the Earth Book and set up a barrier in front of Hongyun to put her at ease.
