Bai Lian's eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were full of heartache and self-blame.

He stretched out his hand, his movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing the most fragile thing in the world, and he gently patted the cub's back, his voice choking with a hint of sobs that were difficult to conceal:

"I'm sorry, baby. It's all my fault that I was too weak to help you. I also held you back and made you suffer so much. It's all my fault."

He looked at the little cub's face full of grievance and tears, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, so heavy that it was suffocating, and his eyes became redder due to the pain in his heart.

The little cub sobbed and shook his head to express his disapproval. The words in his mouth were broken into pieces, and the guilt in his heart finally found an outlet to vent:

"It's all my fault for saving that person. Otherwise, no one would be in trouble, our home wouldn't be gone, and Grandpa Tree wouldn't disappear..."

The crying voice was full of childish pain and self-blame.

For a long time, this guilt was like a heavy shackle, tightly binding his little heart.

He always felt that it was because he was too stupid that he was deceived by the bad guy, causing Qiangji Mountain to fall into a catastrophe. The once peaceful and peaceful valley was destroyed, and those vibrant lives were lost. This always made him blame himself.

"How can I blame Zizi! Zizi did nothing wrong in saving people. It was the fault of the ungrateful man who took advantage of Zizi's kindness and coveted Zizi."

"Being kind is innocent. Those who take advantage of others' kindness deserve to die."

"Is that so?" the little cub asked with tears in his eyes.

"Well, so we don't need to feel guilty. You did everything you could at the time. You don't owe anyone, any living being, anything."

...

After crying for a long time, the little cub gradually lost his strength and shyly struggled out of Bai Lian's warm embrace.

In the past, he had only shown his weakness in front of his father, but now he was crying so badly in front of Uncle Bai Lian, which made him feel uncomfortable. He raised his hand and scratched his nose awkwardly, sobbing softly, and tried to straighten his small body and sit up straight.

Then, he raised his head, looked at Bai Lian with curiosity and doubt, and asked crisply:

"Uncle, why are you here?"

After the little cub calmed down, he suddenly remembered that he was brought to this world by System 8517. So how did Uncle Bai Lian come?

While he was pondering secretly, he looked Bai Lian up and down, and only then did he realize that something was wrong.

Uncle Bai Lian, who he could only see in his memory in his previous life, now had a real body that he could touch. This sudden change made the little cub open his eyes wide, with surprise written all over his face.

At this time, the little cub who was talking to Bai Lian did not notice that from the moment Bai Lian appeared,

System 8517 just hid itself with a whoosh.

At this moment, 8517 was extremely panicked.

It never imagined that it would run into Bai Lian, who was blacklisted by the main system, in this world.

Looking back, Bai Lian's actions were a disaster for all systems. He had caused several worlds to collapse and restart during his mission, and the fate of countless people had been rewritten.

In order to save the situation, almost all the System Bureau members came out and took great efforts to sort out the disordered fate lines.

At that time, the fledgling 8517 was also pulled in to help, and encountered such a difficult situation on its first mission. Because the system was seriously understaffed at the time, one system had to bind to several hosts at the same time, and the massive amount of data processing work almost broke the data system of 8517. Data kept pouring out of it like a runaway kite.

After the mission was completed, 8517 soaked in the energy liquid of the System Maintenance Bureau for two full days and two nights before slowly recovering.

From then on, whenever Bai Lian's name was mentioned, the systems in the System Bureau with weaker psychological endurance would freeze instantly as if they were cast under a spell.

For a time, the name Bai Lian became a taboo that the systems avoided, and no one dared to mention it easily.

8517 couldn't figure it out. Didn't Bai Lian complete his mission long ago and was respectfully sent to enjoy his retirement life by the main system? How could he appear in this mission world?

Could this be Bai Lian's original world? But this didn't make sense. 8517 clearly remembered that the system data showed that Bai Lian's original world was the Dharma Ending Age when spiritual power was becoming increasingly scarce, which was completely different from the current feudal dynasty era.

8517's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the scene where the systems gathered together to gossip.

"I heard that Bai Lian worked so hard on the mission just to save someone." A system whispered mysteriously.

"Save a person? You must be kidding me." Another system was full of disdain.

"Everyone knows that the troublemaker host of this system bureau is the incarnation of a sacred mountain in a small world. To put it bluntly, he is just an emotionless stone spirit." But before the gossiping system could finish its words, it flew out like a stone shot out by a slingshot.

The next second, a pair of big feet appeared and crushed it. At that time, 8517 was hiding nearby and saw the scene clearly, and was so scared that he dared not breathe.

Fortunately, the system's body material was special, and the system that was crushed was later repaired. However, its appearance was no longer as round and cute as other systems. It became flat and oval, like an egg.

In addition, the main system that was repairing it accidentally painted it black, so from a distance it looked like a shiny black boiled egg.

At this moment, seeing Bai Lian's caring attitude towards the little cub, 8517 suddenly understood that Bai Lian did this to save the little cub. No wonder when it took over the little cub, the data transmission speed was much faster than that of other cubs. It was estimated that the main system had prepared this data in advance.

No wonder when it was carrying its cub across the barrier of time and space, it always felt like there were eyes secretly watching them.

8517 didn't want to become the laughing stock of other systems like the "black salted egg" system. So, it carefully hid its body.

"Baby, uncle has a gift for you." Bai Lian looked at the somewhat restrained little cub, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said gently.

"What gift?" Ming Jiang suddenly became alert. He looked at Bai Lian from left to right and from top to bottom like a rattle, but Bai Lian was clean and there was no sign of a gift.

Ming Jiang looked at Bai Lian awkwardly. Just as he was wondering,

Bai Lian spread out his palm, and a crystal clear stone appeared in his empty palm.

If you look closely at the stone, you will find that there is a different world inside it, as if it is a miniature ecological world, with mountains and rivers, lush flowers and plants, and many lively little animals running around and playing around.

"This is..." Ming Jiang looked at this familiar scene, and a strong premonition surged in his heart. His eyes instantly lit up like two bright stars, and a layer of tears appeared in his eyes. His voice trembled a little:

"Uncle Shadow!? What is this!?"

He was somewhat expectant, yet he couldn't believe it. He wanted to ask if this was the former Qiangji Mountain, but when the words came to his lips he hesitated.

Before Ming Jiang could ask, Bai Lian seemed to be able to see through his thoughts. He nodded heavily and said affirmatively:

"Yes! That's right, this is our Qiangji Mountain."
