Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Simulated Space.

In the boundless chaos, only darkness pervaded all around, so thick one couldn't see their own fingers, while winds, fire, thunder, and lightning raged continuously.

Waves of terrifying aura roamed within the chaos.

Within this expanse of chaos,

a panda figure stood there, confusion filling its black eye patches.

Within the confusion was also fear,

fear born from chaos.

He was from an ancient era, and had indeed witnessed chaos.

He knew very well just how terrifying chaos could be.

For beings whose cultivation levels weren't sufficiently advanced, getting close to chaos could mean the loss of their very lives.

He couldn't understand why he had suddenly found himself within chaos.

The Panda Taotie suddenly remembered what Chu Yuan had just said to him.

Was he going to take him to a private space?

Could this be the private space Respected Master had mentioned?

What kind of space is this!

This is clearly chaos!

Just as Taotie was puzzled,

a voice came from afar.

"Disciple."

Taotie turned his head to look.

He could see a beam of light flying toward him from a distance.

The approach of this light caused the chaos to tremble violently.

Hum!!!

As the light came closer to Taotie, the intense brilliance directly dissipated all the winds, fire, thunder, and lightning that had been ravaging the chaos.

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

Taotie, quite frightened, whimpered loudly, covering his eyes with his front paws and only leaving a small crack to peek through.

Taotie carefully watched.

Seeing that the light dissipated to reveal the blurry figure that was unique to his Respected Master, Taotie finally realized that this was his Respected Master.

"Respected Master..."

Taotie whispered softly.

As he spoke, he felt something strange.

Why did he feel that something was off with this Respected Master?

An indescribable strangeness...

But he felt it was very strange.

"Disciple, don't be so afraid, your master isn't going to harm you."

'Chu Yuan's' voice was somewhat stiff, but he still tried hard to maintain a kind tone.

"Respected Master, where is this place?"

Taotie approached 'Chu Yuan' and asked.

"This is a space for teaching you cultivation, do you have any questions?"

'Chu Yuan' asked with a gesture.

Standing within this chaos, his figure was infinitely magnified.

Behind him shone a radiant light.

Like a supreme deity.

"Respected Master, whatever you need to teach, can't we go back? Why do it here..."

Taotie was truly frightened of this pandemonic space.

It was a deep-seated shadow in his memory.

"Teaching here will help you more, disciple, don't be afraid, with your master here, you will be protected."

'Chu Yuan' gently waved his hand, reassuring Taotie.

"Then Respected Master, what are you going to teach me?"

Taotie asked while rubbing his head.

"Do you know what the Great Dao is?"

This 'Chu Yuan' was undoubtedly the teaching mode of artificial intelligence.

At this moment, the artificial intelligence simulated Chu Yuan's tone and began teaching.

"I know a bit about that, Respected Master. To comprehend the Great Dao is the threshold to becoming a Quasi-Saint. The so-called Great Dao..."

Taotie indeed rattled on and on.

If it were the real Chu Yuan, he would have listened with a dumbfounded face, utterly at a loss.

Unfortunately, this was not the real Chu Yuan, but a teaching mode artificial intelligence.

The artificial intelligence listened quietly to Taotie's explanations.

After Taotie finished speaking, it slowly began to speak.

"Disciple, your understanding is acceptable, but not all of it is correct. Your understanding is too complicated. Do you understand?"

The artificial intelligence imitated Chu Yuan's tone, speaking indifferently.

"Huh? Respected Master, is it that complicated?"

Taotie touched his head, speaking very naively.

"It's overly complicated. Do you understand, 'Great Dao is the supreme simplicity'? What you understand may be useful for the Quasi-Saint realm you speak of, but what about beyond that? Hence, I suggest you…"

The artificial intelligence started to lecture as well.

The words it spoke were many times more complex than what Taotie had said.

In any case, it highlighted a point.

Great Dao is the supreme simplicity!

It made Taotie focus on one point.

And it also inquired about what Taotie liked to do.

Faced with this question, Taotie pondered for a long time before answering.

"Respected Master, I like... I like to eat?"

Taotie said the word with extreme caution.

The Iron-Eater Tribe, in terms of eating, is considered top-notch. They consume powerful energy-containing substances, incorporating the mighty energies into themselves.

But Taotie was different.

Taotie would eat anything, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

A notorious oddity.

This eating habit once made the members of the Iron-Eater Tribe incredulous.

"Then specialize in eating!"

The artificial intelligence decisively said.

"Can one specialize in eating?"

Taotie asked as such.

"Of course you can..."

The artificial intelligence began its endless chatter once again.

...

Outside.

Within the Dragon Carriage.

At this moment, Chu Yuan was staring dumbfounded at the endlessly babbling artificial intelligence and Taotie, who was being utterly befuddled.

He felt that the artificial intelligence's ability to bamboozle wasn't any better than his.

Why did this panda Taotie get bamboozled like this?

Chu Yuan was only startled for a moment before he quickly realized.

Clearly, the panda was just too foolish.

So foolish that it could easily be hoodwinked.

If that was the case, then it made sense.

He thought as much.

Their abilities to bamboozle were nearly identical.

Both were the same, just spouting gibberish that others couldn't understand.

How could such bamboozling create a failure?

Indeed, Taotie's intelligence wasn't high.

Had he known this, he would have just done it himself.

There was no need to rely on a teaching mode to handle it.

Chu Yuan shook his head, clicking his tongue in amazement.

As he thought about these things,

The projection in front of him had already ended.

The artificial intelligence stepped out of the Simulated Space and faced Chu Yuan, performing a very ancient etiquette.

"Host."

The artificial intelligence resumed its mechanical voice.

"That's the teaching done? Are you sure he's doomed to fail?"

Chu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, please do not doubt the system's professionalism. The teaching mode in this area has absolute authority," the artificial intelligence firmly said to Chu Yuan.

"Alright, alright, what do we do next?"

Chu Yuan waved his hand, utterly unconcerned.

"Please treat this disciple like a pet from now on, Host. There's no need to do much else. When the time comes, this disciple is destined to fail," the artificial intelligence said to Chu Yuan.

"Treat him like a pet?"

Chu Yuan was stunned for a second.

Is it that simple?

Treat him like a pet and that would lead to failure?

Chu Yuan looked at the artificial intelligence dubiously, but in the end, he chose to agree.

So far, this artificial intelligence had been quite reliable, so he might as well trust this teaching-mode artificial intelligence...
