Chapter 458: Esteemed System Lord

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I supposed to do?

Lu Ye’s mouth spewed out a triple whammy of questions.

At this moment, he was completely lost, with no memories at all, like a newborn baby, as pure as a fresh sheet of paper.

He could speak, as talking was second nature to him,

Yin Qingcheng had left, and the Darkness Origin had long vanished without a trace.

His gaze could only wander to a massive phantom in the distance.

That was the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, who had been enjoying the show.

Lu Ye and the Great Sage locked eyes, and the Sage couldn’t help but crack a faint smile, yet didn’t utter a word.

“Do you know who I am?” Lu Ye couldn’t help but ask.

The Great Sage shook his head.

Lu Ye scratched his head.

He was a bit out of sorts since all his memories had disappeared.

Just then, a strange voice rang out in Lu Ye’s mind.

“Ding, tiny host, the esteemed System Lord is online. What is your wish? I can grant it!”

“Beep, slightly bigger host, the esteemed Little Heavenly Dao Lord is online. What is your desire? I can ask my big sister to fulfill it for you!”

Lu Ye understood.

This Little Heavenly Dao was not as powerful as the System.

He currently had no memories and couldn’t recall the System or Little Heavenly Dao.

But he could think.

“Esteemed System Lord, it seems like I’ve lost my memory. Do you know who I am?” Lu Ye asked.

“Ding, yes, your name is Lu Ye!”

“Lu Ye…”

Lu Ye muttered his name, feeling an indescribable familiarity. If all went well, that should indeed be his name.

“So I’ve lost my memory?” Lu Ye inquired.

“Ding, yes, but I can help you retrieve your memories, just call me ‘Sister’!”

Lu Ye fell silent.

Although he had lost his memory, at this moment, for some reason, he felt an urge to grab the owner of this voice and give them a good smack.

Not just any smack, but a thorough walloping on the backside.

This thought was completely unwarranted.

Lu Ye decided to listen to his inner feelings.

“Are you asking for a beating?” Lu Ye asked.

“Ding?”

“Beep!”

Seemingly, the System didn’t expect that Lu Ye, even in a state of amnesia, could have such thoughts.

Lu Ye immediately realized his words had an effect.

“Cut it out, just help me restore my memories!” Lu Ye said firmly.

“Ding, how annoying! So clever even after losing memory!”

“Beep, no wonder you are my host, impressive!”

Soon, memories began to flow into Lu Ye’s mind like a rushing river.

It was as if he was watching his own life unfold, witnessing scene after scene.

When the Compassionless Sage’s trial began, Lu Ye and the System had preemptively packaged his memories and handed them to the System for safekeeping—this was why Lu Ye felt so confident in this life.

However, entrusting one’s memories to another was an exceedingly risky move.

Others could tamper with your memories, leading to nightmarish consequences, as one might expect.

Lu Ye was well aware of this risk; if he could trust the System, it meant he had significant faith in it.

Sure enough, as the memories gradually emerged, the first ones to surface were those shared between him and the System, making Lu Ye feel a bit of a headache.

Because honestly, how did the perfectly fine System end up as such a stunning woman?

Too gorgeous, right?

Yet faced with the ethereal Shen Xitang, Lu Ye inexplicably had not made any moves to charm her, nor did he have her in his grasp?

How absurd was that?

It seemed like there were only two possibilities; the first being that he had become a eunuch.

Lu Ye couldn’t help but glance down, feeling something there; he should not be a eunuch.

So, that meant there was a second possibility—he already had a wife.

“I have a wife?” Lu Ye asked as he absorbed his memories.

“Ding, yes!”

Lu Ye nodded. So that was normal. It seemed he had really loved his wife; otherwise, why would he trust such a beautiful System without causing trouble? After all, he was a Saint!

“Ding, guess how many wives you have?”

At this moment, Lu Ye felt slightly bewildered, even doubting his own ears.

“How many wives? Shouldn’t it just be one?”

“Ding, you have eight!”

Lu Ye……

“For real?”

“Ding, of course!”

Lu Ye……

Eight wives……

Logically speaking, he should only have one wife, after all, the one-man-one-woman norm is deeply ingrained. Marrying eight? Come on, that’s breaking the law!

And then there’s the fact of having eight wives—this is wrong!

Not to mention cultivators, even regular folks know that nine is the limit. If he had eight wives, he definitely wouldn’t let someone as gorgeous as Shen Xitang slip through his fingers!

Lu Ye’s brow furrowed.

He wasn’t a eunuch.

So that meant……

“So, did those eight cheat on me?” Lu Ye asked.

He honestly couldn’t believe it; how pathetic was he to make all eight of his wives stray?

“Ding ding ding……”

The System suddenly burst into laughter, ringing like silver bells.

“Ding, I’m not messing with you anymore, let’s get back to transmitting memories.”

Lu Ye sighed in relief; thank goodness he wasn’t being cheated on. Otherwise, those eight wives would surely turn into eight deceased spouses.

This time, the memories being restored were those of his past life, fragmented but sufficient for Lu Ye to grasp the general idea.

“Why are the memories like this, instead of all at once?” Lu Ye asked.

“Ding, it was your own request.”

When Lu Ye had been hit by the energy attack from the Compassionless Sage, the conversation between him and the System also appeared in his mind.

“System, when it comes to memories, package the memories of those eight women separately. That way, I can choose which ones to keep and which to forget; some memories can just disappear entirely!”

“Ding, received!”

So right now, among Lu Ye’s existing memories, there weren’t too many about his eight ex-wives.

He could now choose which memories he wanted and which ones to discard.

Even though there weren’t many memories concerning those four ex-wives, Lu Ye still knew exactly who they were, as the shadows of those eight women had always been present in his past and current lives.

“Since Bai Qiulan, Chu Ling, and Jiang Die have entered the Emperor’s Banner, let’s restore the memories related to those three.”

The more memories restored, the better; after all, life should be complete, and so should memories.

Instantly, memories of the three ex-wives began to surface.

Lu Ye saw himself rescuing the mute Chu Ling, witnessing himself meddling in Bai Qiulan’s affairs, and noticing his attraction towards Jiang Die.

Damn, he kind of deserved it!

Yet thankfully, he had realized his mistakes and, while he didn’t directly take drastic actions against those who hadn’t provoked him, that was his way of correcting his errors.
