Chapter 221: Extreme Mirror

"Lin Yu, Void-Reality Unification? As expected of the Heaven-Chosen."

The familiar yet strange voice sounded from behind. Lin Yu turned his head; the former mentor Xiao Chengzhou stood there, but no longer in human form.

His body was composed of countless blue-black data tentacles, constantly changing shape as he moved, and two beams of code-like light replaced his original eyes.

"Release them." Lin Yu pointed to the imprisoned Destiny members. They were in transparent capsules, their faces filled with distortion and pain.

These capsules were connected to a giant device in the center, which looked like a crystal ball. Dozens of Destiny members in transparent capsules were connected by various tubes, like sacrifices for some kind of ritual.

"Too naive." Xiao Chengzhou laughed wildly. "They are the core components of 'Extreme Mirror,' without them, the prediction system cannot run."

Lin Yu's right arm instantly turned into a long sword, thrusting straight at Xiao Chengzhou's chest.

The sword tip easily pierced through the data body, but Xiao Chengzhou's body automatically separated and reformed, as if it had no substance.

"Physical attacks are ineffective against information bodies." Xiao Chengzhou's data tentacles extended violently, attacking Lin Yu from all directions.

These tentacles seemed to have lives of their own, following Lin Yu no matter how he dodged.

Several tentacles wrapped around Lin Yu's arms, and in an instant, countless data streams surged into his body, attempting to invade his nervous system.

The energy in Lin Yu's body surged frantically, barely resisting the invasion, but this confrontation consumed a great deal, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Don't waste your effort." Xiao Chengzhou's voice carried a high and mighty arrogance. "'Extreme Mirror' has calculated all your possible action patterns. You think you are fighting fate, but you are actually walking on a pre-set trajectory."

Lin Yu raised his hand to condense energy waves, and the surrounding space distorted.

A column of gold and black intertwined energy blasted toward Xiao Chengzhou, the explosion deafening.

When the smoke cleared, Xiao Chengzhou remained unharmed, not even moving an inch from his position.

"I am no longer a biological body with limited limbs." Xiao Chengzhou's voice echoed throughout the laboratory. "Now, I have become information itself. As long as there are electronic signals, I am everywhere."

The Tianyuan Sword on Lin Yu's chest suddenly trembled, the sword body emitting a dazzling light, and then it actually flew out uncontrollably, pointing straight at the top floor of the building.

The runes on the sword body flickered, as if responding to some kind of summons.

"The Tianyuan Sword sensed something." Lin Yu thought while sparring with Xiao Chengzhou.

"Do you want to know what is on the top floor?" Xiao Chengzhou seemed to see through Lin Yu's thoughts. "That is the central node of Void fusion, and also the ultimate discovery of 'Extreme Mirror'—the cornerstone of the new world."

"The human brain is the most advanced biological processor, plus Void amplification, the computing potential is infinite." Xiao Chengzhou said to the assistant beside him. "'Extreme Mirror' has predicted the time node of complete Void fusion—seven days later, the Earth will become part of the Void domain."

"Extreme Mirror reading complete, Void analysis enters the fourth stage." In front of the console, a flickering figure was operating.

Lin Yu landed silently from the ventilation duct.

—What kind of ghost place is this!

Lin Yu cursed in his heart, this laboratory was filled with various tubes and instruments, and the air was filled with a nauseating sweet and greasy smell.

He sneaked all the way from the ventilation duct, vaguely hearing painful groans and the roar of machine operation coming from below.

"Seven days?" Lin Yu flashed a trace of irritability, he must stop all this.

"Damn it!" Lin Yu cursed in a low voice.

He seized the opportunity, flashed to the Extreme Mirror main console while Xiao Chengzhou was distracted, pressed both hands on the control panel, and injected the energy in his body directly into the system.

The alarm sounded instantly throughout the laboratory, and the Extreme Mirror core experienced energy fluctuations.

Those prison capsule doors opened automatically, and the trapped Destiny members were rescued one after another.

"No!" Xiao Chengzhou roared, data tentacles extending frantically.

But it was too late, Lin Yu had already leaped up, rushing toward the elevator shaft following the guidance of the Tianyuan Sword.

Xiao Chengzhou's voice came from all electronic devices: "You can't change anything. 'Extreme Mirror' has calculated the future—seven days later, the Earth will be completely Void-ized. All your actions are within the prediction."

Lin Yu ignored Xiao Chengzhou's clamor, he climbed up the elevator shaft to the top floor.

This was the place with the strongest energy fluctuations in the entire building, and the air was filled with pure Void energy.

The Tianyuan Sword stopped in front of a heavy metal door, the resonance of the sword body becoming more intense.

Lin Yu pushed the door open.

A huge crystal capsule floated in the center of the room, and a human figure composed entirely of Void energy floated inside the capsule.

Qin Tianluo!

But not the Qin Tianluo Lin Yu was familiar with.

This existence was composed of pure Void energy, its form sometimes solidifying and sometimes flowing.

Above the crystal capsule, a familiar jade pendant was suspended—that was the ninth token.

When Lin Yu approached, Qin Tianluo "opened" his eyes.

"You finally came, Lin Yu." Qin Tianluo opened his mouth, his voice like thousands of people speaking at the same time.

"So what exactly is going on with all this?"

"The final truth?" Lin Yu gripped his fists tightly, the gold and black power surging in his body like an uncontrollable tide.

Qin Tianluo's form was very special, hanging in the crystal capsule, his voice coming from all directions, overlapping, "Three thousand years, finally made it to the end."

Before the words were finished, there was a loud "bang," and the crystal capsule exploded, fragments flying everywhere like they were worthless.

This way, Qin Tianluo was completely revealed—a human figure composed of pure Void energy, surrounded by blue-black energy currents, and every time he moved, the surrounding space trembled.

Lin Yu stepped back half a step subconsciously, and the Tianyuan Sword flew back on its own.

"What on earth are you?"

"I am the first Void creature, much older than the 'Void Monarch' in your mouths." Qin Tianluo floated in mid-air, his posture looking up at the sky.

"Three thousand years ago, I mixed into you humans and directed this endless war."

Lin Yu laughed angrily: "So, you want to destroy humanity?"

"Destruction? The pattern is too small." Qin Tianluo shook his head.

"I want to create evolutionaries—a new species that can play with both reality and the Void. Do you really think the Void invasion was an accident? That was an 'evolutionary gift package' I carefully prepared."

Lin Yu raised the Tianyuan Sword, and the gold and black energy surged toward the sword body as if finding an organization.

"No matter what tricks you have, stop it for me today!"

The sword light flashed, heading straight for Qin Tianluo's neck.

But something evil happened—the moment the Tianyuan Sword touched Qin Tianluo, the light on the sword body went out, as if it had been sucked dry of its essence.

Lin Yu was dumbfounded, staring at the sword in his hand, with a look of "this is impossible" on his face.

Qin Tianluo laughed triumphantly: "The Tianyuan Sword recognizes me as its master, you are just using it temporarily."

He beckoned, and the Tianyuan Sword rebelled, broke away from Lin Yu's hand, and flew to him.

"The true 'Heaven-Chosen' has always been me, as for you, Lin Yu, you are just a 'container' I raised."

Lin Yu felt the gold and black energy in his body start to act up, as if it was being suppressed by something. ===== CHAPTER 222 =====
