The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

A game-changer?

Chi Miao had no choice but to sit up straight, produce a piece of paper in his hand, coughed lightly, and looked at Jiang Yue: "Please speak."

It's not that she's making a mountain out of a molehill, but what the Tantric practitioners call "revolutionary" is truly revolutionary!

If you don't listen carefully and don't take proper notes, you really won't understand, and you'll be doomed if you fail the course.

Moreover, given her past behavior, whoever inherits her skills will basically disappear without a chance to start over.

She's a top student at Miaohua Continent Cultivation University now, she can't afford to mess things up at this time.

Gou Shi System: "...Sister, you're so dramatic."

Jiang Yue also fell silent, suddenly realizing that she didn't understand Chi Miao that well either.

However, she kept her emotions hidden and quickly regained her composure, asking Chi Miao with a slight smile, "Do you remember you didn't have a mother?"

That sounds like an insult.

Chi Miao: "Actually, I don't have a father yet."

Let them scold her. She really doesn't have any relatives. She was an orphan in her previous life on Earth, and she's still an orphan after transmigrating to the cultivation world.

She's used to it.

Gou Shi System: "Miss, you're so cute—"

Jiang Yue was both amused and exasperated, thinking that this was truly a clown.

"So, I'm telling you now, you're not human?"

Chi Miao: "Why are you still cursing me? If I'm not human, what am I? Oh, I'm an immortal."

Jiang Yue: "You're not an immortal anymore."

Chi Miao choked up. She was neither human nor immortal?

"Then what am I?"

Jiang Yue: "You are the embryo of all things."

Chi Miao was stunned: "What is this thing?"

Jiang Yue: "The fetus of all things."

Chi Miao's CPU burned out again; she felt like her IQ was really not up to par.

The fetus of all things?

Isn't this a bit against common sense and ethical norms, a bit too lewd?

Chi Miao: "Is it what I think it means?"

Jiang Yue nodded affirmatively: "Yes."

Chi Miao was lost in thought; in just a few breaths, her face changed from red to orange to yellow to green to blue to purple—it was quite a spectacle.

She concluded with, "So, I'm a bastard?"

And there's a lot of variety involved.

Jiang Yue: "...Although the words are rough but the reasoning is sound, isn't your statement a bit too rough?"

Chi Miao: "Just tell me if it's right or not."

Jiang Yue: "It seems... that's a fair way to put it?"

Chi Miao was in despair. She had once longed for family love! And now you're telling her that everything in the world is her father and mother?!

Chi Miao: "Is it just me, or are all of us reincarnated beings like this?"

Jiang Yue: "You are the only one, unique, which is why you must take this step."

Chi Miao's expression froze. She turned around and silently began drawing circles on the ground, muttering to herself:

"I'm a bastard, I'm a bastard, I'm a bastard..."

It's obvious she's very withdrawn.

Jiang Yue's smile almost shattered her carefully constructed persona, so she quickly said, "Actually, if you don't mind, you can call me Mother!"

Chi Miao's mouth dropped open: "I'm already in such a miserable state, and you're still taking advantage of me?!"

I never knew you were this kind of person!

Jiang Yue was speechless. Sure enough, everyone who had seen Chi Miao in person was speechless. She used to be happy in the system's body, but now she had become the clown.

She pinched her temples, a slight headache forming. "How am I supposed to explain this? Hmm... do you remember what the little system said earlier, that our soul auras are exactly the same?"

Chi Miao nodded, looking both obedient and a little aggrieved, and said, "I remember."

Jiang Yue asked, "Do you know why?"

Chi Miao shook his head.

Jiang Yue pondered for a moment before explaining, "Because I split my soul in two, one is me, and the other is you."

Chi Miao pointed at herself: "Huh? So you're planning to absorb me today and become one with me?"

Jiang Yue smiled and shook her head: "I only occupy less than one-thousandth of the soul. Even if someone is to be absorbed, it will be you who absorbs me. You can rest assured about that."

"The crimson moon has long been washed away in the river of history. Now all that remains is you, and what I want to tell you is your background, and... what I did back then."

Chi Miao became focused, his eyes unusually serious.

"My...background?"

Jiang Yue nodded: "How should I put it? Let's start from when I almost ascended to immortality. You should have already witnessed the calamity befalling the people, right?"

Chi Miao was taken aback, then nodded.

Jiang Yue almost ascended to heaven? What does that mean?

Jiang Yue: "Tian Bei's method of becoming an immortal requires two things: first, reaching the pinnacle of the Dao; and second, sufficient spiritual power. I met these conditions a hundred years earlier than him, yet I cannot ascend. Do you know why?"

After a moment's thought, Chi Miao replied, "Because of the sins of the common people?"

Jiang Yue curled her lips, "Yes, because of the sins of the common people... her true form cannot come directly to Miaohua Continent, because Miaohua Continent, under her turmoil, can no longer contain the power of immortals."

"She wants to destroy us, but if she were to come down in person, Miaohua Continent would collapse. She can't bear to part with this piece of the pie. It is precisely because we have grasped her greed that we keep reincarnating in Miaohua Continent."

Chi Miao was stunned: "Miaohuazhou... a cake? She's making a fuss?"

Jiang Yue sat down on the ground with Chi Miao, propping her face up with one hand and saying with a smile, "Yes, she's caused all this trouble. Originally, the spiritual power of Miaohua Continent should have been among the top three in all cultivation planes, but she's ruined it like this. However, the other continents aren't much better off. Now she's helpless and can't get help from anyone."

"Who told her to be so greedy? No wonder, she wasn't born into a good family, what good could she possibly do?"

Chi Miao's jaw nearly dropped in shock, her eyes widening: "No... you mean she's... that kind of person?"

Jiang Yue nodded: "Yes, she is that one, um... to be precise, the one from this generation."

Chi Miao couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and blurted out, "Holy crap, she's the Heavenly Dao? Is this what the Heavenly Dao is like?!"

Jiang Yue raised one eyebrow: "This is what a lowly background looks like."

It took Chi Miao a while to calm herself down. "What do you mean by 'this generation'? Does the Way of Heaven have more than one generation?"

Jiang Yue nodded: "Yes, as far as we know... there are two generations of Heavenly Dao. The first generation of Heavenly Dao advocated for universal harmony, so it divided its own power into so-called immortal positions. And because of this... the power controlled by the first generation of Heavenly Dao weakened."

"This scourge of all living beings is someone who, after the creation of the world by the Heavenly Dao, gave rise to self-awareness among living beings and gradually developed negative emotions such as selfishness and greed. These negative emotions then gave birth to her, so... she is called the scourge of all living beings."

"Her existence is due to the evil thoughts that arise in the hearts of the people and the evil deeds they commit."

"And the reason she has the same face as us..."

Chi Miao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine: "Because...we are the original generation?"
