Chapter 425: Happiness?

“Ding, what’s this nonsense about replacing you?”

“Beep, let’s swap and let me do what my sister doesn’t want to do.”

“Ding, do you even know what that is?”

“Beep, sis, what is it?”

“Ding, getting beaten up. Do you want to get beaten up?”

“Beep… No beating! No beating!”

Listening to the lively banter in his head, Lu Ye wore a faint smile on his face.

“What are you thinking about? Why do you look so happy?” Lin Chuyue asked curiously.

Lu Ye was taken aback.

“Happy?” Lu Ye quizzically repeated the word.

“Yeah, silly! So happy!”

Lu Ye turned to the Drunken Sword Daoist, who nodded in agreement, “Absolutely happy!”

That kind of smile could only belong to someone who was truly happy.

Lu Ye…

His eyes shimmered with a hint of daze.

It turns out that even after experiencing such severe betrayal, despite having a past life filled with misfortune, one can still possess happiness.

Happiness can reveal itself unexpectedly, almost casually.

Happiness isn’t that hard to find.

The key is meeting the right people.

“I thought of something nice. Everyone has moments of happiness, right?” Lu Ye chuckled.

“Yeah! Who doesn’t have happy moments? I feel really happy right now!”

Lin Chuyue nearly burst into a joyful shout.

One could only describe their reactions as extremely childish.

The three returned to the No Return Cave.

“You two, I’m heading into the No Return Cave now. You can go back to Heavenly Gate Star. If I manage to come out of the cave, I’ll return to Heavenly Gate Star. If not, well, I guess I’ll have ascended to the Sixth Heaven. Don’t worry about me; I’m very confident!” Lu Ye told them.

Lin Chuyue looked a bit worried.

“So many have gone in and never come out. Are you sure you can do it?”

“Of course! In my last life, I was a Celestial Lord!”

Lu Ye didn’t waste any more words. He waved his hand, and his figure turned into a streak of light, rushing into the No Return Cave.

“Take care, Master!”

“Be careful!”

The darkness swallowed Lu Ye, and when light reappeared, he found himself in a gray passage.

Lu Ye first observed his surroundings. Everything was gray, a color associated with Chaos, and there was also an aura of the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign’s Dao.

In this passage, there was only forward and backward, with no up or down, let alone any exits.

Lu Ye remained calm, gently placing his hand on the gray passage, quietly sensing.

Tsk, just as expected from the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign, this passage resists all external forces. If one tries to force their way in, the entire passage could collapse, sending them randomly away.

Of course, Lu Ye’s strength was still far from being able to touch this passage’s level.

His figure turned into a streak of light, flying swiftly in one direction of the passage.

A day later, a fork appeared before him.

Lu Ye could come in, of course, because he had his means, and he was quite confident in them!

“System, start deducing the end of the passage!”

“Ding, deducing started!”

The system began its deduction.

“Beep…”

“Little Heavenly Dao, start deducing the end of the passage!”

“Beep, deducing started!”

Little Heavenly Dao looked quite satisfied.

Both sides were deducing together, it was as if the whole Heavenly Dao was helping Lu Ye pierce through the fog to find the answer.

The power of the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign was astonishing, and the ability to escape was unparalleled.

But can one really be hidden under the full power of the Heavenly Dao’s deduction?

Lu Ye didn’t know the answer, but he would know soon enough if all goes well.

Time passed second by second.

The longer it took, the clearer Lu Ye understood that the chances of success for this deduction were increasing.

Because if it really couldn’t succeed, the system would definitely announce failure for a question like this that had no second option.

Just like if Lu Ye asked the system to deduce the whereabouts of the Darkness Origin, and it couldn’t figure it out, it would directly announce failure.

Similarly, if he asked the system to deduce what Shangguan Huanling was thinking, it would also end in failure.

Sure enough, three hours later.

“Ding, deduction successful!”

At that moment, a shape resembling an arrow appeared in Lu Ye’s mind, and he instinctively knew the direction he needed to go.

This is the joy of having a system!

“Beep, I deduced this together with my sister,” Little Heavenly Dao proclaimed like a proud child.

“Yes, both you and sister are the best.”

“Ding, this guy is really good at hiding! They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but this guy has over thirty disguise points, each one a major trick.” The system said.

Lu Ye was slightly startled; this guy is really up to no good!

One would need to be cautious.

“Is the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign dead?” Lu Ye asked.

“Ding, unknown!”

“Deduce!”

The system…

“Beep…”

Little Heavenly Dao seemed eager for more fun, reminding Lu Ye again.

The system was already desensitized to the deductions, but the Heavenly Dao was still full of curiosity, just itching to try.

“You deduce too!”

“Beep, starting deduction!”

Lu Ye was really delighted; this life was so different from the last. In the previous life, using the system to deduce anything about Celestial Lords was really a costly affair.

Who knows how many resources the system would have absorbed to start a deduction back then.

Now it was much better!

The power of the Heavenly Dao, while not limitless, allowed Lu Ye to use it freely!

“Ding, not dead!”

“Beep, close to death!”

The two replied to Lu Ye, who was slightly taken aback; the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign hadn’t died yet? Wasn’t it said that he was severely injured by the Demon Ancestor, his Dao shattered and on the verge of being completely wiped out?

Lu Ye lightly furrowed his brow.

A Celestial Lord, even if close to death, was not someone he could afford to provoke.

But was this “close to death” mere sparks from a dying flame, or did it mean he was nearing exhaustion but could still elevate himself to new heights?

To know the answer, it was simple—continue deducing.

The system seemed prepared, as a glow emitted from the celestial pattern on Lu Ye’s forehead, and a hazy image appeared before him.

It was a thatched hut, with a skeletal figure sitting cross-legged. In its hand, a heart beat in its bony palm.

Lu Ye?

His focus was completely on that beating heart.

This heart is…

A Saint’s heart???

Lu Ye’s eyes widened instantly, what the heck?!

A Saint’s heart, how did it end up here?

No, how on earth did a Saint’s heart come out?

Even though Lu Ye was a Celestial Lord in his last life, he couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine at this moment.

Because this fact was just too outrageous.

If this Saint’s heart is real, it’s no wonder the Demon Ancestor relentlessly hunted the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign. If this gets out, it won’t just be the Demon Ancestor on the hunt; every Celestial Lord and Emperor in the world would come after the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign. This would drive everyone mad.

Saint’s heart…
