The Last Sentinel

Kuku—hoo!

Black mist emanated from the stone hut, spreading rapidly like stagnant water throughout the courtyard, gradually approaching Ye Feng and the scholar's feet.

Young Ye Feng calmly observed the scholar in front of him, wanting to see how he would react.

The scholar lowered his head, watching the surging black mist spreading from beneath his feet, lost in thought. The next moment, he clenched his fist and whispered, "Revenge! I will avenge my wife!"

Young Ye Feng said, "But you are no match for her."

"Then let me die by her hand, so I can die alongside my wife, a pair of lovers destined to perish together!"

With his bright red eyes and thin arms, this seemingly useless scholar walked step by step into the dark hut.

Ye Feng sat there, holding a Mixue Ice Cream, pondering and observing.

In terms of Earth's combat strength, this female ghost is roughly equivalent to a spirit sitting at the same table as Nie Xiaoqian, and her combat power is comparable to Hua Xiaobai after being injected with Compound No. 5.

Although Ye Feng's strength dropped from a 2.0-level cosmic warrior due to the Red Hair Curse, he was still at the peak of a 1.0-level enhanced warrior.

Such a female ghost is nothing in front of Ye Feng; he could blow her away with a slightly louder breath.

Ye Feng didn't kill her, not out of kindness, but because he sensed that there was a powerful figure behind the female ghost. The scholar carrying the female ghost here was a test from an outside expert.

This is the first case Ye Feng has encountered in ten years.

But this will certainly not be the last time.

"ah--"

A piercing scream rang out, followed by a burst of blood as half a human body was thrown out and landed at Ye Feng's feet.

The scholar was in a terrible state; only half of his body remained, and a horrifying bloody bite mark marred his face as he stared intently in the direction of the house.

Ye Feng looked at the scholar and said, "Are you convinced?"

The scholar weakly replied, "I refuse!"

"Great, that's very energetic!"

Ye Feng stomped his foot, and a layer of visible golden ripples suddenly rose up from the ground. The next moment, the pale golden ripples bathed the scholar's broken body, and the scholar recovered completely and stood up again!

"This—" The scholar stared at his hands in astonishment, exclaiming incredulously, "How could this be!"

Ye Feng pointed in the direction of the cabin, "You're not convinced, are you? Then go for it!"

"I will avenge my wife!"

The scholar charged forward again, and the roars of the vengeful ghosts and the howls of the humans rose and fell in the room.

Two minutes later, a head rolled down to Ye Feng's feet.

Ye Feng looked at the scholar's head. "Are you convinced?"

The scholar's tongue was torn off, and he could only shake his neck angrily.

Ye Feng stomped his foot, and the scholar revived, stood up again, and rushed into the hut once more.

The mournful voice of the female ghost echoed, and the scholar was killed again, leaving only one hand crawling out.

"Are you convinced?"

The scholar raised his middle finger with his left hand.

Resurrected, let's go again!

Whether it's just a hand, a head, or a single hair.

The number of times the scholar was resurrected quickly reached four digits.

The female ghost's roar grew weaker and weaker, and gradually, she began to go mad.

After all, anyone would break down and lose their composure if they saw an enemy with an infinite respawn cheat.

Even Sentinel Ye Feng almost committed suicide when he was repeatedly resurrected by the fake humans and blocked at the door.

Finally, the door to the hut was broken open, and the head of a female ghost, emanating a gray, malevolent aura, came into view.

The scholar, now only half a body, opened his mouth, biting the female ghost's head, and wriggled to the opposite side of Ye Feng. With a sudden spit, he spat out the female ghost's head, which fell to the ground.

The scholar looked at Ye Feng and said, "You must be from my hometown!"

Ye Feng said, "The title 'Stray Dog' above your head has lost its luster. It seems you're one of the few transmigrators who can skillfully use your title to defend yourself!"

"Yes," the scholar said. "I have known for a long time that the title of 'Stray Dog' can ward off enemies, and I have actively used this title to do a lot of things in the other world, gaining a good reputation and status, and even a happy family. If it weren't for this calamity of the Fire Star, I might have continued indefinitely."

Ye Feng said, "Enough with the nonsense. Since you've come here, it means there was a problem with your cheat system when you transmigrated. State your wish!"

The scholar thought for a moment and said, "I want my wife to be resurrected."

Ye Feng blinked. "Dude, your wife died out there, not here. Here, I can resurrect your wife an endless stream, but out there, I don't have that authority!"

The scholar said, "If you can bring my wife back to life, I'm willing to stand in jail here in your place."

Ye Feng laughed. "You'll take my place in jail? What a joke! How could you possibly stand in jail for me? The primal will here only recognizes me."

The scholar's eyes swept over the vast manor. "If I remember correctly, this used to be a huge conference hall, octagonal in shape like a pyramid, with about 100,000 seats. Outside the conference hall was a huge modern city, with..."

Ye Feng interrupted the scholar, "You've been to the club before?"

The scholar said, "Could you revive me first? I'm too weak right now, and I'm afraid I'll have a hard time answering your questions."

Ye Feng snapped his fingers, and the scholar stood before him unharmed.

The scholar poured himself a cup of tea. "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Gongsun, and my given name is Sheng. I don't have a system. It's not that the previous sentinel didn't give me one, but that I chose not to have one. I just want to live a peaceful and ordinary life."

Ye Feng looked at the scholar curiously. "You don't want the system? Why?"

The scholar said, "Before I transmigrated, I was a firefighter. I died in a fire. Sentinel Lin Qilin took pity on me and sent my soul to another world, hoping to give me a second life. But when I saw that I was going to possess an innocent child, I resolutely refused and chose to destroy my own soul and spirit."

"When Sentinel Lin Qilin saw this, he resurrected me. The place where I was resurrected was right here. At that time, this place was still a fertile primeval forest."

"Lin Qilin did some ideological work on me, telling me to honestly go and reincarnate instead of staying at the club and freeloading."

"I said I wanted to die, but Lin Qilin was not happy. He said that if I died, it would make him look incompetent and a failure."

"So, we just stayed in this stalemate."

"I'm probably the time traveler who's stayed at the club the longest, besides Lin Qilin."

"I followed Lin Qilin to polish the stones in the mountains and forests, first to build the primitive society, then to the agricultural society, and finally to the industrial age."

"I followed the Sentinels and witnessed the club reach its peak."

Ye Feng asked, "And then what happened? Why was the club destroyed?"

Gongsun Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. At the moment when the club reached its peak, Lin Qilin said that our fate should also end. He forcibly threw me into another world and made me reincarnate and start anew."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng asked, "You're very familiar with Lin Qilin?"

"Quite familiar." Gongsun Sheng's star-like eyes gleamed. "Just like these transmigrators you see now who didn't get the system, back then Lin Qilin deliberately didn't give them the system."

Ye Feng was taken aback. "Deliberately not sending the system? What does that mean?"

Gongsun Shengdao said, "Lin Qilin is playing a game of chess. He knows he can't change the overall situation, so he deliberately doesn't issue systems to transmigrators in those important node anchor universes. This way, when the next Sentinel takes over, he will inevitably have to issue systems to transmigrators without them. At that time, the next generation of Sentinels will also know about the node anchor universes of these transmigrators without systems. The next generation of Sentinels can then connect these anchors, know the layout of all the heavens and myriad worlds, and turn the tables on all the heavens and myriad worlds!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

What a Lin Qilin!

What a clever scheme!

What a convenient system that doesn't issue notifications!

Intentionally making mistakes to leave important coordinates for the next generation of sentinels!

Sentry can die.

But the journey home must be completed!
