Why is the Demon Venerable Like That?

A “Slapface” System bound itself to a host. It looked at the man’s weak body, his feeble internal energy, and his notorious reputation with great satisfaction. It told him that as long as he completed the tasks, he could reach the pinnacle of life and become the greatest person under Heaven.

The man fell silent for a few seconds before replying, “I have already been the greatest under Heaven.”

The System ran a quick background check and discovered, to its horror, that it had bound the wrong person. “How could I have bound the Child of the Plane who died young?”

To finish the mission as quickly as possible, the System tried to lure Lu Yuan with rewards, only to suffer through his relentless exploitation of bugs.

If you slay Monster A, you will gain 111 points of Cultivation. Lu Yuan replied, “I killed it in my past life.” The System numbly handed over the cultivation.

If you execute Evil Spirit B, you will gain 222 points of Reputation. Lu Yuan replied, “I killed it in my past life.” The System despairingly handed over the reputation.

Heartbroken, it pleaded, “You did not kill Demon Lord C in your last life, so can you put in some effort this time?” Lu Yuan tried to reason with this so-called System. He explained that the Demon Lord mentioned was his Junior Brother, and he could not possibly be a bad person.

The System rolled up its sleeves and presented a list of Demon Lord C’s “great achievements.” The System said, “Your Junior Brother slaughtered an entire village.” Lu Yuan replied, “Junior Brother must have had his reasons for doing that.”

The System said, “Your Junior Brother killed the version of you from the previous life.” Lu Yuan replied, “Junior Brother must have had his reasons for doing that.” The System said, “Your Junior Brother said you started a relationship with him only to abandon him.”

Lu Yuan replied, “Junior Brother must have had his reasons.” Wait, what?

Summary: He is the Child of the Plane, but he was bound to the wrong System.
