Netherworld Retrograde

'Damn it.'

At the moment when the suspected system light screen appeared.

Li Ye instantly realized that he might have fallen into the trap of Deceit Dao.

After all, as a Great Spiritual Ability User and Deceit Chosen One, Li Ye was well aware of the bizarre and incredible nature of such systems.

Randomly issuing tasks that once completed can conjure rewards from the Void Realm.

Directly enhancing spiritual energy, strengthening the physique, even issuing tangible equipment?

This is too defying of the natural order.

But upon careful consideration, it totally doesn't hold water!

If there truly was such a risk-free and profitable venture, the Chaos Evil Gods would have long mass-produced armies of Divine Chosen by crazily "issuing tasks" and flattened the universe, instead of laboriously orchestrating corruption.

Even the blessings from the Evil Gods require the Divine Chosen to first offer sacrifices that align with their tastes, or make some earth-shattering events that fulfill their teachings.

Hence, the more one understands the Void Realm, the more one can negate the existence of such a 'system.'

Unless the system's power surpasses even that of the Chaos Gods.

But what such a mighty existence, that could even be said to be above all gods.

Would seek me out, with idle intent?

Therefore, Li Ye believes this to be Deceit Dao's conspiracy.

This scenery directly working on the retina is also not difficult for Li Ye, a Deceit Chosen One, to replicate.

All it requires is to pre-arrange the corresponding ritual array, and then properly induce mental suggestions and sensory interference on the target.

As for those seemingly miraculous "system functions" and "task rewards," the source is even simpler; they are either concocted by the caster based on their intelligence library, with the data possibly fabricated.

Or it's achieved by temporarily activating the target's own potential, or simply giving a Chaos Blessing, making them mistakenly believe it's system enhancement, essentially still extracting wool from the sheep.

Of course, each profession has its specialization, as Li Ye, who freeloaded his way up to Deceit Chosen One. He's of grassroots origin.

He hasn't sufficiently studied many forbidden knowledge, and might not be able to execute naturally.

Unexpectedly, even as a Divine Chosen under the gaze of the Master of Transformation, you still end up encountering Deceit Dao's 'scamming package.'

Betraying their own kind, truly with the damn style of Deceit Dao!

Of course, this might be due to Li Ye not activating the Deceitful God's Chosen Mask.

After all, activating the mask would trigger the Curse of Misfortune and Dragon and Tiger.

Thus, when killing Lou Su, he only used the Deceitful God's Chosen Mask for an instant to erase a portion of their last words, promptly taking it off after use.

Continuing to use the mask would likely attract all the enemies. Now in such little time has the Deceit Dao's package arrived.

'Alright, alright, trying to scam me? I'll trace the source along the network once inside!'

Li Ye thought, now as long as he activates the Deceitful Face Mask, he can directly tear off this 'system panel' disguise. But considering it might alert the snake in the grass, he plans to mull over it a bit more.

'But, we've only just entered the core, and we've been targeted already? This response is too quick. Has a corresponding 'system' appeared for the Little Mad King as well?' Li Ye thought as he glanced around, unable to see the Little Mad King who was originally by his side, surrounded only by tumultuous darkness, as though a giant creature was surging.

The next moment, the system panel in front of Li Ye fluctuated rapidly.

[High energy... anomaly... detected]

[Activating countermeasure]

Li Ye frowned, is this a staged performance of disguise?

Yet the next moment, he felt a terrifying pressure overwhelming, as if a gigantic mechanical construct like a star was gazing at him, crimson light turning his vision bloody red.

Simultaneously, a strong sense of rejection surged, making Li Ye feel like he was about to be ejected from this space.

Is it refusing Li Ye entrance to the core?

Li Ye was surprised, witnessing another force erupt, a black flame spanning across the Star Sea, directly crashing into the star-like construct.

Compared to the size of the construct, the black flame seemed exceedingly small but had already attracted the construct's attention. The enormous construct silently turned toward the black flame, a data flood almost drowning the entire Star Sea surging.

Between breaths, the scene vanished, the repelling feeling entirely dissipating, and Li Ye felt his feet touching the ground.

As the red light before his eyes faded, Li Ye rubbed his eyes and saw the scene clearly.

It was a room of unfamiliar style, equipped with a bed, chairs, and a small bookshelf.

Simultaneously, the original 'token' in Li Ye's hand transformed.

The once effaced words began to appear clearly. Strangely, Li Ye understood their meaning even without activating the Deceitful Face Mask.

In simple terms, it was a... detailed identity card?

Complete with corresponding information and code.

Even, the picture and name on it had changed to Li Ye.

This made Li Ye frown, unexpectedly, this Land of Opportunity could directly read Li Ye's true name and appearance.

In such a case, if those enemies manage to check the information, they might lock onto him directly.

Of course, it's possible there could be others with the same name, but those folks from the Forbidden Zone might prefer to kill mistakenly rather than let go, right?

"From the start, it made me a bit passive." Li Ye thought, continuing to examine the details.

[Name: Li Ye]

[Position Type: Civilian]

[Affiliation: Law City Third Strike Team Logistics Support and Civilian]

[Permission: Second Class]

"Is this my identity in the Land of Opportunity? Civilian, huh? Luckily, I took out Lou Su outside, otherwise revealing identity in here and venturing to kill someone could very well lead to other troubles." Li Ye felt somewhat fortunate.

As for Law City and work, already being legally identified, Li Ye is not worried about extracting information.

The current problem is, to quickly reunite with the Little Mad King.

Based on Lou Su's words, she and Li Ye should soon meet after entering the core.

Or, perhaps due to the identity Lou Su held, she was not far from Li Ye. And Lou Su's token ended up in the Little Mad King's hands likely not being too far as well.

Afterward, Li Ye inspected the room, fetching some clothes of peculiar style from the wardrobe.

He certainly couldn't go out wearing armor or a cloak, and after changing into somewhat ill-fitting clothes.

Li Ye confirmed that only the picture and name had changed, the rest should remain unchanged.

Thus interacting with others would be a major issue, since he lacks memories of this original identity.

As Li Ye opened the window to gaze outside, he saw a city of simple design, with people walking within it.

Hmm, confirming, it is indeed human civilization.

Though the style is peculiar, with some pedestrians clad in white robes, others wearing battle skirts and armor.

Simultaneously, the 'system light screen' before his eyes appeared again.

Providing information of those in his sight.
