"It wasn't judged as death by the Reincarnation space."

"Because we are still our past selves, merely granted grace by my Lord, joining the glorious evolution!"

"To ask the Dao in the morning, one may die at night—but I never imagined we could still survive in this world; from now on, we shall spare no effort in serving my Lord."

"With this, even SS-class Reincarnation tasks, we have the confidence to complete!"

Watching the 'Soul-Sweeping Squad'—well, the original members of the Soul-Sweeping Squad had gathered, and they all departed together via the Reincarnation space's teleportation; all eyes turned once more to Su Lin.

"You're incredible," Lu Mingfei sincerely remarked: "Have you considered becoming a charming villain?"

The moment Lu Mingfei finished speaking, he felt two forces simultaneously press down on his shoulders.

"Huh?"

He turned around—it was Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan and Meng Qi.

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan: "Don't make such dangerous jokes."

Meng Qi: "If he becomes a villain, I'll send you to a world using the Cause of All Results."

Su Lin had no interest in joining this group of lunatics' conversation; instead, he inexplicably exchanged for a 1000-point whetstone and gently sharpened his blade upon it.

Later, I'll attach a Light-tier divine art and add some blessings—it'll have special efficacy against Chaotic beings.

"They say this world has already plunged into the abyss, but after the Sky-Mending is complete, it should still be safe," Meng Qi voiced his doubt: "What do you plan to do with Bodhi?"

"In Lord Haotian's memories, Bodhi was the Buddha sect's backup plan; leaving him alone won't matter," Su Lin set down his battle armor's blade and drew out the Azure Jade Void Sword to maintain it:

"Only after obtaining those memories did I realize the Soul-Sweeping Squad's mission could never be completed."

"Even if we had come to this world with malice, the Nine Tripods would have detonated immediately—this entire universe would have triggered Heaven-Earth Coexistence, and not a single Reincarnation traveler would have escaped."

Bodhi acquiring the Ksitigarbha Buddha's relics was also a trap set by these great beings—even a two-birds-one-stone scheme.

If the world remains peaceful, Bodhi will become the key to the Buddha sect's revival.

If the world is beyond salvation, Bodhi will betray at the critical moment, confuse and detain the Reincarnation travelers, giving the Nine Tripods time to unleash their power to destroy the Three Realms and Six Paths.

These people are truly ruthless—ruthless in a cunning, underhanded way.

The reason Lord Haotian lowered his guard was because of 'Yi Donglai'.

Yes, Yi Donglai.

"I'll take these Titans back with me," Yi Donglai said, holding a plastic bucket originally meant for latex paint: "I turned those Titans into koi fish—I plan to keep them as ornamental fish in the New Kangning Sanatorium. I'm about to resign from Bai Ta Prison to become its director."

Su Lin nodded: "Do as you please."

Lord Haotian examined Zhen Yuanzi's memories and deduced that if his side had harbored malice, such power would never have delayed until their return from beyond the heavens—it would have already turned the mortal realm upside down.

"Grilled fish," Zhao Shuangdian handed over a skewer: "Try it."

Wu Qi said: "Tastes good."

Each Confused Siming held a skewer of grilled fish, eating with great relish—it made one worry whether Yi Donglai's koi would vanish in the middle of the night.

"Don't let Shi Hao see this," Su Lin shoved the grilled fish into Ye Fan's hands.

Eating it benefits cultivation—provided you can swallow it.

"Senior Su Lin," Song Shuhang asked: "Senior Kuang Dao Kuangdao Sanlang asked me to inquire—can the reward be exchanged for passage to the world you just created with that technique?"

Shhh—!

"What?!"

Everyone spun around instantly; their stares made Song Shuhang feel uneasy.

"Is his brain," Su Lin pointed to his head: "been cracked?"

Song Shuhang chuckled bitterly: "He thinks it's a Cthulhu-style hidden instance."

On the path of self-destruction, he holds absolute, reverent admiration for Kuang Dao Kuangdao Sanlang.

Hidden instance?

Yes, it's a hidden instance—but the kind you enter once and never escape.

"Using my ultimate move is exhausting," Su Lin said weakly: "I've no strength left to use it again—if I had a light on my chest, it'd be blinking 'Ding-doo—Ding-doo—' with warnings now."

Lu Mingfei stared blankly: "Where did you even get this from, Ultraman?"

"Is that your ultimate move, Senior Su Lin?" Song Shuhang was surprised; the 1.9-meter giant even shrank his neck slightly: "I thought it was some one-time god-tier power-up."

"I never used any god-tier power-up. My achievements today come entirely from my own effort," Su Lin studied the mist of history, weighed his longsword, and considered whether to unleash Sword-Opening the Source Gate.

Song Shuhang silently glanced at Su Lin's battle armor and abandoned asking when this robe had been newly released.

"By the way, Senior Su Lin," Song Shuhang asked: "The players are all curious—was there any completion reward for this simulated universe test? Could you reveal anything?"

The player base has grown larger; now seventeen Jie-Xian senior elders have joined, along with several newly ascended Immortals.

They camp daily near the villa compound where Senior Bai Zunzhe lives, waiting for the latest updates from Song Shuhang.

Without exaggeration, any faction that dares to cause trouble here must crawl away after getting slapped several times across the Jiang Nan University District.

It's gotten so bad that Song Shuhang has to sneak out every time he needs to trigger a storyline.

"The reward? Of course, look for it in the Heavenly Court," Su Lin began, then his voice choked off: "Heavenly Court—"

Heavenly Court—Lord Haotian—Su Lin

Things of the Heavenly Court—Lord Haotian's belongings—Su Lin's personal property

"Look for the Heavenly Court?"

"Look for Heaven—"

Su Lin slapped his own forehead and rubbed his eyes hard for several seconds.

Fuck!!!

These are all my things?!

Once he realized the true nature of this, Su Lin froze in place, stunned for several long seconds.

He put down his hand, looked at Song Shuhang, and said: "What do you think of the five-spirit-stone discount coupon for the Ninefold Jin Dan?"

Song Shuhang opened his mouth: "Should be fine."

Before coming here, Senior Su Lin said the reward for clearing this instance would be rich.

But Song Shuhang hadn't yet had time to relay the message to others when the enthusiastic cultivators had already rushed in.

Now the situation is this: whenever the simulation universe's launch is mentioned, even without rewards, a group of cultivators will charge forward—Su Lin points, they strike.

Organization and discipline are handled by professional seniors.

"Forget it, let them return to Simulation Universe 2.0 first," Su Lin said. "I'll gather some demon-immortal, human-immortal, and Buddhist cultivation techniques from this world, then distribute them randomly via shadow-recording stones to players' mailboxes—let them pick one from three."

The Fourth Catastrophe Simulator is still embedded in the source; players' account data is all preserved, making operations much simpler.

"Got it!" Song Shuhang nodded.

Senior Su Lin was as generous as ever; if Su Lin hadn't shown any intention of founding a "Fourth Catastrophe" sect, many cultivators would have seriously pledged their lives to him.

In fact, several Void-Transcending Immortals and Mystery Saints already had this idea—they'd quietly asked Song Shuhang whether they could sell their entire sects and power bases together.

"But… do you feel okay? You look exhausted," Song Shuhang asked with concern.

Su Lin looked like a swordsman staring into the void, occasionally gulping down spirit springs and holy fruits.

Su Lin looked at Han Li: "Liu Li Ge, did you bring the small green bottle? Let me have a sip."

"I left it with White Friend," Han Li said.

"Then forget it," Su Lin shook his head, took a small sip of Drunken Immortal Wine: "The Heaven River Robe's consumption is immense; maintaining the Dao-Tian Fa-Di technique drains the spirit."

Too many things to consider when using this technique—after all, the battlefield is full of allies; if my Immortal cultivation hadn't improved enough to control a wide-area defense, I wouldn't dare try it.

"Your technique is too extreme," Ye Fan held his grilled fish without taking a bite—after all, it had once been humanoid: "I have no mental image at all, just a vague sense of what happened."

"If you still remembered what happened, I'd have to use the Resurrection Washing Machine to scrub your memories clean. As for power—it's decent," Su Lin thought, then said: "If I used my true body, I could make an even bigger commotion—but I couldn't control the aftermath."

"Don't even think about blowing yourself up—life is beautiful. If you have any problems, tell me, brother. There's no obstacle you can't overcome," Meng Qi said seriously.

He wasn't worried about Su Lin—he was worried about the myriad worlds.

Su Lin would almost certainly revive by other means, but what would happen to other worlds if they were caught in the blast? He dared not imagine.

"If you're bored, help me sort through this pile of documents and kick that old man out—I can't even look at this pile without wanting to self-destruct," Su Lin pointed at the memorial scrolls on the desk and the smiling, silent Taibai Jinxing beside them.

This Heavenly Court truly maintains cosmic order—even when Heaven was incomplete, it managed everything from the Three Realms' reincarnation to heavenly punishment and rain-bringing.

To prevent immortals and gods from favoring their descendants and creating endless generational lineages and factions, it even forbade celestial beings from feeling emotion.

Its core principle: serve all living beings.

"Great Heaven Emperor! Don't waste time—go find Jiang Ziya yourself!"

Tai Gongwang ran over, hair disheveled, clothes torn; the immortal gods who had been pawing at him froze the moment they saw Su Lin and Meng Qi.

"Don't you have anything better to do?" Su Lin said coldly, recalling the scene from memory: "If you're idle, go down to the mortal realm to undergo trials and fix the chaos in the Three Realms!"

Instantly, the playful immortal gods stiffened their necks and hurriedly withdrew.

That's the vibe!

That's exactly the vibe!

Still the same vibe!

Taibai Jinxing nodded inwardly, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"Great Heaven Emperor," Tai Gongwang tidied his attire slightly, looked at Meng Qi, and said: "Last time you were in the Immortal Realm, it was early spring—now three months have passed! Many matters await your return!"

Meng Qi's amused expression froze on his face. He looked at Su Lin: "Let's self-destruct together?"

Su Lin nodded: "Countdown: 1091."

Star asked: "What about the middle number?"

"Is that the point?!" Meng Qi finally chickened out: "Forget it—I've got a family."

"Actually, you don't need to act like this," Su Lin waved his hand, sighing lightly:

"The primordial creation Law forcibly activated is entirely different from one fully mastered and used—this technique has been tested many times in the Moon World."

"It's like a man straining to lift a rock and throw it versus a bald man radiating invincibility hurling one—the range and effect are worlds apart."

Fortunately, Weigong Shilang isn't here.

Meng Qi shook his head.

What matters isn't the power—it's Su Lin's terrifying Law, the kind even Fortune-Heaven would flee from; the side effects from his rank and multiple primordial creation Laws cannot be described by ordinary standards.

He now understood why Su Lin deliberately maintained this state.

"Good thing the skill's range is small," Li Huowang grinned: "Doctor Yi's face looked bad earlier—he probably feared getting caught off guard."

"The worlds are so far apart—do you think I can make the entire void see it?" Su Lin smiled helplessly, stretched his neck, and walked toward the nightmare etched into his DNA:

"To forge steel, one must be strong oneself; cultivation is not yet complete—I still must strive. My radiance is still far from truly terrifying the myriad worlds."

"Why are you all so scared? What's the big deal?"

Though he disliked handling official duties, and didn't care whether he was Heaven Emperor or not, he still helped with this small favor.

"Your idea is a bit dangerous," Meng Qi realized he'd gone too far—Su Lin wasn't incapable of control. He planned to have Tai Gongwang leave first, then return to the Reincarnation space before heading back to the Immortal Realm.

"Your thinking is a bit dangerous." Meng Qi realized he had gone too far—Su Lin wasn't incapable of control; he planned to let Tai Gongwang leave first, then return to the Cycle Space before heading to the Immortal Realm.

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"Senior Su Lin, don't you have another technique? Back when I dream-entered and saw you and Su Tuoni, Su Tuoni reached ultimate transcendence," Song Shuhang suddenly remembered how he'd fused his artifacts and Song Muto:

"Though our paths differ, Su Tuoni and you are the same person—the connection still exists, as shown by my dream-entering talent."

"If you face an enemy you can't handle, why not merge and unleash this technique together?"

"Ultimate transcendence ignores time and dimension—it's truly unique across all realms, supremely dazzling!"

"Permanent? Maybe not—but briefly," Su Lin paused, chin in hand, muttering to himself: "Like Goku and Vegeta's fusion in Dragon Ball?"

"Eternity is avoided, but for a short time," Su Lin said, stroking his chin and freezing in place, muttering to himself: "Like the fusion state of Sun Wukong and Vegeta in the Dragon Balls?"

Can it be done? I don't know.

Who knows what kind of overlapping overcharge summoning might occur, conjuring up a new summon.

Besides, sacrificing Su Tuoni isn't a problem, but if I end up sacrificing myself, that'd be troublesome.

If I really can't figure it out, I'll just push my own limits.

Su Lin didn't take Song Shuhang's words seriously; he just buried himself in processing the mountain-high memorials, from the aquatic clans of the Four Seas to the Ten Yama Kings.

"Shuhang."

Song Shuhang was about to leave when he found his feet weighed down as if bound by hundreds of tons, and someone was calling him from behind.

"Senior Ye Fan, what's wrong?"

Tap tap tap

Ye Fan tapped Song Shuhang's shoulder three times and smiled: "Come find me tonight—I'll help you lay the foundation."

"But I have something to do tonight," Song Shuhang remembered he had to return to push the main storyline; the Six Cultivators' Tomb and Lord Chu were waiting for him.

"No problem, I'll come find you," Ye Fan gave Song Shuhang a half-smile and walked out.

Song Shuhang was baffled—Senior, even if you come find me, I still won't have time.

"Young friend Shuhang, right?" Shi Hao walked in carrying the bloodstained Great Luo Sword Embryo, several golden-winged great roc feathers still clinging to it; he too tapped Song Shuhang's shoulder three times:

"No wonder you're the fastest cultivator to transcend—your foundation is solid. Tonight I'll help you train."

He finished speaking and left just as urgently.

At this moment, Song Shuhang received several messages from the chat group.

Meng Qi: "Where are you?"

Meng Qi: "I'm at your doorstep now."

Meng Qi: "Let's talk."

What? Song Shuhang was confused—Senior Meng Qi, aren't you right here?
