System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

The secret place in the cave where Xu Zhoujiao is currently located is where Taishang Laojun usually attains enlightenment and practices.

Deep in the cave, there is a thousand-year-old spring that is constantly bubbling out water. The mysterious ancient spring exudes an irresistible spiritual energy that fills the entire cave.

Whenever the breeze blows, you can feel the fresh and warm aura brushing against your skin.

It will take away all the fatigue and distractions in your body, and make your mind clean and peaceful as never before.

If you look closer, you can see a group of silver fish and shrimps swimming in the center of the clear spring.

Next to the ancient spring, there is an ancient vine. The emerald green leaves look lush and green under the nourishment of spiritual energy. The fruits hidden under the leaves are shining with a lustrous luster.

It seems that each one contains the mystery of life.

Under the shade of the ancient vines, various treasures of heaven and earth are planted, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

"Wow~"

A huge sound of water came from the cave entrance, which made Xu Zhoujiao tilt her head and look sideways.

It turned out to be the tortoise that had carried water from Wanxi Lake for Taishang Laojun. At this moment, it was shuttling through the turbulent waterfall.

The head of the divine turtle was slightly raised, with its two sleepy eyes half open and half closed, which seemed to contain infinite wisdom and vicissitudes.

It seems to be able to see into the essence of all things in the world.

When the divine turtle floated in front of Xu Zhoujiao, she could finally see the true appearance of this thousand-year-old divine turtle.

The tortoise is huge, with mottled green lines on its shell. Under the refraction of the sunlight beads on the top of the cave, the tortoise shell looks like a huge piece of jade.

The divine turtle looked at Xu Zhoujiao in front of him, with an inexplicable joy in his eyes.

It swung its thick limbs and made a "whoosh~" sound towards her.

Sitting cross-legged on the boulder, Taishang Laojun looked at the excited and happy divine turtle and asked it softly, "Did you lead all the Wanxi water in the Tushita Palace back to the lake?"

The divine turtle nodded its huge head towards Laozi.

After answering Laozi's question, the divine turtle circled around Xuzhou Jiao and finally landed in front of her.

He called out to her softly a few times.

Strangely enough, Xu Zhoujiao, who had never seen the divine turtle before, actually understood what the divine turtle meant for the first time:

It is inviting you to sit on its back.

Just like when I was a child, it carried me and played in the Yaochi Lake.

Yaochi? Divine turtle? Playing?

Why do these things, which are clearly not related to me, give me an inexplicable sense of familiarity under the gaze of the divine turtle?

It's as if they really happened!

Feeling incredible, Xu Zhoujiao looked at the pair of round green eyes of the divine turtle.

In the eyes of the divine turtle, she saw a little girl with pigtails.

The little girl lay on the back of the tortoise, holding its shell and complaining to it: Today, I was punished by Emperor Haotian to write three large characters because I played a trick on Taibai Jinxing's mount...

Three long articles, each one is so difficult to write...

The tortoise tilted its head and looked at the little girl lying on its back with tender eyes. In order to make her happy, it carried the little girl to every fun place in the divine world.

The little girl laughed so hard that she couldn't stop.

When Xu Zhoujiao saw the little girl's cheering face, a look of astonishment flashed across her face: How could this little girl look exactly like her?

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the warm and cheerful scenes, puzzled. She seemed to be shrouded in layers of fog, and the unknown confusion and bewilderment tightly wrapped her up.

At this moment, she especially hopes that there is someone who can lead her out of this fog.

"Woo~"

Seeing Xuzhou Jiao not moving, the divine tortoise asked her softly: "Little dear, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy?"

Is it because Turtle has grown old that you don’t remember him anymore?

Perhaps he felt Xu Zhoujiao's anxiety and uneasiness.

The divine tortoise rang softly a few times towards the ancient spring, and the silver fish that were originally at the bottom of the spring jumped out of the water one after another.

In the cave, he circled around Xuzhou Jiao.

Feeling the divine turtle's care for her, Xu Zhoujiao leaned against the divine turtle and sat down. Under the divine turtle's gentle gaze, she gently pressed her face against the divine turtle's shell.

Just like the little girl in the picture.

Taishang Laojun looked at the scene before him, which happened many years later, and felt both relieved and melancholy.

He looked at the divine tortoise's eyes, which were as beautiful as turquoise, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

Silly turtle, Xiaoguai's return to the divine world this time means that your time in this world is running out.

With your protection for her, you must be reluctant to let her jump into the Hongmeng Cauldron alone...

But that’s fine too.

From now on, you no longer need to stay alone in this secret cave, reminiscing about your past with her.

You can stay with the little darling you care about for a long time.

Xu Zhoujiao, lying on the turtle's back, looked at the divine turtle in front of her that seemed both familiar and unfamiliar to her, and the doubts in her heart grew bigger and bigger.

She turned her gaze to Taishang Laojun who was sitting opposite her.

Hopefully, he can tell himself the answer.

"Laojun, I used to live in the God Realm, right? The little girl held by the divine turtle is my former self, right?"

Taishang Laojun looked at Xuzhou Jiao's anxious eyes, flicked the whisk in his hand, and said softly: "All the laws of fate in this world cannot escape the cause and effect."

"My dear, everything you are going through now is both your calamity and your fate."

"Since you have already learned the truth about the death of Yu Qiang and the other two ancient gods from Master Erlang."

"Then tell Laojun."

"Now, do you think that the God Realm's prohibition of the gods from interfering with the system is too heartless?"

Xuzhou Jiao looked into Laojun's inquiring eyes and said frankly:

"I once had a brief thought of complaining about the gods' inaction."

“But then, I understood.”

"If a civilization wants to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, it can only make up for its own shortcomings and achieve self-strengthening through self-help."

“If they continue to rely on God’s help, even if the Gods protect them and help them overcome all difficulties, in the end, they will still be swallowed up by the torrent of time!”

"I can't live long in this world!"

After listening to Xuzhou Jiao's analysis, Taishang Laojun laughed heartily. While stroking his beard, he praised Xuzhou Jiao repeatedly:

"Children who grow up in my God Realm are naturally perceptive!"

"The path you are walking on now is exactly what you must go through. Only after going through layers of polishing, you will be able to get rid of the dross and occupy a place in these three thousand civilizations with a new attitude. From now on, you will be cared for by the gods for a long time!"

"Just like the civilization that Dian Mu showed you!"

"That civilization once experienced an era of invasion by powerful nations. The people struggled for a hundred years under the oppression of powerful enemies. During these hundred years, countless pioneers shed their blood just to lead their people to stand up again."

"They fought bravely and fearlessly to save themselves."

"During this process, they were questioned and betrayed by their own people, and were chased, intercepted, and strangled by powerful enemies. But even so, they never gave up their beliefs."

"Because, compared to not being understood, there is more support and advocacy behind them."

"After going through transformation again and again."

"They were indestructible and eventually transformed into a red force."

"This red force, relying on its own tenacious will, drove away the invading enemy and won the respect and awe of other civilizations!"

As Xu Zhoujiao listened to Laozi's retelling, that peaceful and free civilization reappeared in her mind.

I was filled with awe in my heart.

No wonder Dianmu said that their current prosperity was achieved through the efforts of several generations.

During these hundred years, those pioneers must have endured hardships and oppression that ordinary people could not imagine. But even so, they did not stop their steps of resistance. They persisted, and walked down with bloody footprints step by step.

Taishang Laojun looked at Xuzhou Jiao who was deeply touched, and told her earnestly: "My dear, only when you stand up on your own will the foreign races be afraid of you."

"This is the most important reason why the God Realm issued the ban!"

"If even you fail to hold on to this path, in order to protect other civilizations from being implicated by you, the God Realm can only activate the World Destruction Array and erase all traces of you in this world."

"My goodness, do you know why?"

Under the guidance of Taishang Laojun, Xu Zhoujiao, who had already gained great enlightenment, replied in a clear voice: "Because a cowardly race, no matter which civilization it exists in, will be a burden to the God Realm!"

"Because they are inherently lazy and afraid of death, they cannot be saved!"

Hear this.

Taishang Laojun looked at Xuzhou Jiao with a look full of satisfaction: "Well said, you are worthy of being taken in by Emperor Haotian."

"Even though I grew up in the mortal world, I have lived up to the teachings of the Three Pure Ones!"

"What Laojun means is: I was reincarnated from the God Realm to the General's Mansion?"

Xuzhou Jiao knew something about the coming of gods to the world.

For example, the thirteen children she saved who were eaten alive by Shi Jun, and E Ji whose fate she personally changed.

They are all pillars sent by the gods to the human world.

But she never imagined that such a thing would happen to her!

She always thought:

I am just simple and I just have better opportunities!

Xu Zhoujiao, who thought she was just a mortal, was completely overturned in her cognition by the following words of Taishang Laojun.

"You should know that every once in a while, the God Realm will send a few God Generals and Immortal Lords to sneak into the human world. They are either there to assist wise rulers or to help the people and save the world!"

"I have done this, and so has Emperor Haotian!"

"It's the same with you now!"

"The only difference is your identity as the Chosen One."

"You are the leader of that group of gods and immortals. At the same time, you are also the only one who escaped from the system's database!"
