Normally, you only need to hold it to receive information from parallel worlds; inputting energy activates the external playback mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where the hell did you get this stuff?” Xiao Yan stared, dumbfounded: “Can I trade my grandpa in the ring for your power-up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disgraceful disciple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan took a slap on the head and nearly lost his balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ow, Master, you’ve misunderstood!” Xiao Yan hurriedly covered his head: “There are so many grandpas—I never meant you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few seconds, a scene appeared in the sky before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a sky of yellow sand, a figure cloaked in black stepped forward, one foot after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s my parallel self?” Xiao Yan’s eyes sparkled with curiosity—what was his parallel self like? Did it match the story in the book? Where was he in the plot now? The Black Corner Domain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man in white brocade robes flew in, wings sprouting from his back, blocking Xiao Yan’s path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Dou Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Dog Yun Leng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My parallel self is this unlucky? Has his location been discovered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guardian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Leng retracted his qi-formed wings and bowed respectfully before the Xiao Yan before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By order of the Yunshan Sect Master, I’ve come to assist the Guardian in collecting the Strange Flames.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehehe…” The black-robed Xiao Yan chuckled lowly: “Do you think I need your help?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Th-this… I dare not.” Yun Leng lowered his head even further, his submission and awe unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan watched this scene, and countless llamas stampeded through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li teased: “So this is… Soul Hall Xiao Yan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shirou, that guy looks like a villain,” Illya tugged at Emiya Shirou’s sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehehe,” Ye Fan laughed mockingly, mimicking perfectly: “Guardian Xiao, what grandeur you command.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan fell silent for two seconds, then shifted his intent—the scene changed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, in a bamboo grove, Xiao Yan walked hand-in-hand with a young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After I leave, I don’t know how long it’ll be before I return,” Xiao Yan said, voice heavy. “Xiao Yixian, are you truly not bothered that I still love another girl?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yixian said nothing, but embraced…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just as it was getting good, why cut it? Keep going!” Lu Mingfei muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene flickered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehehe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cut again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirty years east of the river…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cut!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yun Yun, I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Switch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath a waterfall, the Xiao Yan in the scene let the water pound his body, his muscular frame clearly visible to all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou qi formed a thin armor over his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan exhaled in relief—finally, something normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t my parallel self have even one decent version?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the scene, Xiao Yan sat in quiet meditation, surrounded by birdsong and floral fragrance, nature in harmonious unity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Change the channel—this is boring,” Su Lin teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan’s face darkened; the novelty had worn off. His parallel self wasn’t worth watching anyway, and now he’d exposed all his private affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever. It’s a parallel world—none of my business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, as long as I’m thick-skinned, what does it have to do with my world’s Xiao Yan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what do you think is worth watching?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan’s voice spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan froze—I didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his head up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery in the scene was fading to gray and white, but the projected Xiao Yan still retained color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a Strange Flame bloomed, then two, then many—various heavenly flames surrounded the other Xiao Yan like stars circling the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything changed. No waterfall, no nature, no training boy remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden clouds hung high in the heavens; a towering figure stood amidst auspicious radiance, wild, overwhelming spiritual power visible to the naked eye, flowing like molten lava down gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young brother, you haven’t answered me—what do you want to see?” The towering figure spoke, voice calm and gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn…” Su Lin instantly understood—this was the future Lord of the Infinite Flame Realm, the Supreme Master Xiao Yan…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even across worlds and time, he felt the oppressive presence of a higher-dimensional life—perfect, flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shouldn’t be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to see how pampered Xiao Yan was these past three years, and how juicy his romance was.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You think I’ll back down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please—I’m super brave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiao Yan in the scene’s expression changed instantly—he clearly hadn’t expected Su Lin to be this bold; his wide eyes looked as if he’d seen something utterly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he vanished from the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Expansion Pearl’s display flickered like an old TV with bad signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The future Xiao Yan reappeared, his eyelid twitching, smiling without warmth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What romance?
