“A system that can transmigrate?” Shen Jing’s eyes darkened and she thought carefully for a while before replying, “I have seen systems with such functions but transmigration is more of an exaggeration. The most they can do is only project a part of their soul over.”

“Project?” Lonemoon faltered. “What does that mean?”

“They actually do not have the ability to transmigrate in themselves.” Shen Jing said in a low voice, “So they would search for some residual consciousness in the chaos that has yet to be completely absorbed. Then sense for the plane’s original source that is similar to the host’s from the chaos and project the part of the consciousness that they caught to that plane to steal the original source of other planes.”

“Their target is the plane’s original source?”

“You can put it that way.” Shen Jing continued, “Only their power is way too insignificant, the amount of original source that can be stolen is very limited, it’s even less than the amount for a complete soul. Besides, as this is an illegal invasion, this thing is very easily found by the authority, so it is highly difficult to bring away that small bit of original source, unless…”

“Unless the soul is willing!” Lonemoon blurted out, “What it wants to bring away is the primary soul of the person it is attached to!”

This also meant that there were actually three parts in that body right now. One was the soul that belonged to the body, one was the invading system and another was the residual consciousness that the system caught, used to fuse with the primary soul to make it easier to be brought away?

“That’s right!” Shen Jing nodded. “This thing is like a parasite of the plane, though it is simply projecting a part of a foreign consciousness to the plane, but illegal invasion still causes a certain disorder to the plane and leaves behind a crack where they invaded. So the spot where they enter are always extremely hidden.”

“It’s the River of Forgetfulness!” Yi Qing suddenly recalled the hole that suddenly appeared in Heavenly Palace’s River of Forgetfulness. “They entered through the original source of the River of Forgetfulness.”

“Everything makes sense now!” Shen Jing said, “There are lots of souls in the original source, it is difficult to realize when there is one more or one less, what’s more, the one that entered is just a similar part of a foreign consciousness.”

Both Lonemoon and Yi Qing’s face darkened. If it wasn’t because Roasted Chicken Gal suddenly fell and Little Shortie happened to be at Invincible Sect, such a small hole that even they did not sense would indeed be very hard to discover.

Besides, the reason why the system was able to trace back the time of the little world unnoticed, was because of the effect created when it broke through the plane. If it wasn’t because Rabbit happened to go pick Zuo Shuming up, they never would have been aware of the incidents in the Lower realm.

“Then how do we resolve this?” Shen Ying suddenly asked.

“Of course you kill it before it fuses with the soul of the plane.” Shen Jing answered like it was only natural and right. “If you don’t kill such parasites, are you going to keep it around for the new year celebrations?”

All three of them: “…” Seems like it’s too late.

“Don’t tell me you three have already let it fuse with the living being that it is attached to?” A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Jing’s face.

“Um… Sister Jing, we just that little little bit late.” The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched as he let out an embarrassed smile. “Are there any other solutions?”

The disdain on Shen Jing’s face grew even stronger as she sneered coldly. “You call yourselves managers? Is the plane’s consciousness blind?”

Three of them: “…” No personal attacks please, not everyone is a cheat!

“There’s no other way.” She gave each of them a look that said ‘you’ll be done sooner or later’ and went on, “It’s either you kill it together with that soul to get rid of the parasite and that foreign consciousness or wait until it has completely attained the acceptance of the possessed soul then leaves the host together with its primary soul to head to the next plane.”

“Leaves the host?” Shen Ying suddenly lifted her head, looking at the lighted screen before her. “Sister, you mean that when escaping from this plane, it will separate itself from the fused souls?”

Shen Jing turned back and glanced at her, the disdain in her eyes then eased a little. “That’s right, since it has decided to separate, it would certainly be fully prepared, you all only have the chance in that single moment to catch it.”

Lonemoon and Yi Qing were overjoyed and relief, it was great that it would separate. Actually, the troublesome thing was that they knew too little about that system, they totally didn’t know what other tricks it had. As for that foreign consciousness that fused into the primary soul, they would somehow find a way to separate them.

“Thank you, Sister Jing.” The three thanked her and received more nagging from Shen Jing before the call ended.

“Master, what should we do now?” Yi Qing turned to look at Shen Ying. “Wait till the moment when the invader leaves this plane?”

“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded and said, “We can speed it up!”

“What do you mean?” Lonemoon chimed in, how do they speed it up?

“Doesn’t that system have a mission?” She habitually pulled out a fruit and reminded.

Both of them paused for a moment, recalling the public broadcast of the system that they heard earlier. Seems like it sent a mission to exact revenge on Zuo Shuming to the consciousness.

“Wasn’t this mission issued because the invader wanted to get the acceptance of the owner to make it easier to draw the primary soul away?” It had invaded illegally, only when the primary soul was willing would it be able to bring this shred of primary soul away, this mission was the trade. He thought of something else and frowned. “Are you thinking of helping the invader deal with Two-Bucks Zuo, then let it separate as soon as possible so that we can capture it?”

Yi Qing also frowned subconsciously, naturally unwilling to do so. Let’s first put aside that Zuo Shuming wasn’t any villain, from their standpoint, no one wanted to turn around to give the invader a boost.

Shen Ying bit her fruit and looked up at them before questioning, “Why must we help it, can’t we wreak havoc?”

“Rubbish!” Lonemoon subconsciously rebutted. “For each day it doesn’t fulfill the owner’s aspirations, the primary soul would definitely be unwilling to leave with it. The invader naturally wouldn’t sep…” He stopped midway, as if struck with a sudden thought, his eyes widened. “You mean that we will obstruct it from completing the mission, cause internal conflict amongst them! The more the primary soul does not get what she wants…”

“The more it wouldn’t be willing to leave with the invader!” Yi Qing had also come to a realization. “By then the primary soul would naturally resist against the foreign consciousness and system, perhaps without even needing us to act, they would be separated.”

“That might not be.” Lonemoon shook his head and said in a low voice, “If then system can seek such a loophole to come in, it proves that it is very clear that it cannot remain in this plane for long.” In case it is discovered by the authority and manager. “So if it figures out that it wouldn’t be able to get the acceptance of the primary soul no matter what…”

“It will choose to leave this plane in advance!” Yi Qing looked delighted.

Lonemoon also sighed in relief. “Great! We shall do just that!”

Compared to helping the invader complete its mission, fighting it head on was more satisfying!

“About that…” Something came to Lonemoon’s mind. “What did Two-Bucks Zuo that naive fool do to her before he ascended? That it made the soul willing sell her primary soul to the invader to exact revenge on him. Logically, someone who could ascend into immortality and not be struck to death by thunder shouldn’t even any great villain.

Yi Qing faltered and calculated using his fingers, enlightening everyone a while later. “She was killed by Zuo Shuming in her previous life!”

“What?” Damn, they really had a feud.

Lonemoon also calculated subconsciously and his face darkened moments after.

That person died in Zuo Shuming’s hands in her previous life, but the number of lives that ended in her hands were countless, there were even her closest family, and that included, all the disciples in Gui Yi Sect.
