Can the Great Expansion Pearl do the same?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, sorry,” Lu Mingfei apologized while piling food into his bowl: “I needed a medium, and your pearl has temporal-spatial interference properties with excellent mass, so I used it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, do you have any alcohol?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have a sip?” Su Lin placed several bottles of beer on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li couldn’t stand the taste of this “horse urine,” waved it off, and pulled out his own medicinal liquor; the others each took a bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least bring the real thing—why bring a projection?” Lu Mingfei complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelaien  stared curiously at the beer in his hand—the cold sensation from his palm told him this was a projection? If he remembered correctly, once he reached Sequence 3, he’d gain a similar ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, you,” Su Lin grumbled. “Just tasting it is good enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cap flew off; Lu Mingfei picked up the bottle and took a long swig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haah, how many years since I last had this?” Lu Mingfei set down the bottle, sighing: “The last time I drank beer was last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re really here, aren’t you?” Xiao Yan said, exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, because I can’t remember how long ago it was,” Lu Mingfei laughed heartily: “Maybe 790,000 years ago?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kind of ancient beverage has been out of stock in the Milky Way for a long time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn,” Su Lin blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About that pearl…” Lu Mingfei rubbed his messy hair, glancing at his own sleeping form nearby: “Let him pay for it later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m broke right now—no money, no life to give.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got so many cultivation techniques, resources, and treasures,” Su Lin said, intrigued; according to Lu Mingfei, all those strange parallel worlds they’d seen were arranged by him alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap-tap-tap—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei tapped his own head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Empty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I gave it all to him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin glanced at Lu Mingfei, whose drool dripped from his lips, and suddenly felt like he’d eaten several lemons: “So when he wakes up, he’ll just fly straight up and shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun, wielding the Chaotic Invincible Hand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!” The white shirt, messy-haired Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hands: “I wouldn’t dare call myself the Chaotic Invincible Hand—not with you beside me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin looked at Ye Fan, calm and detached, and realized—this one was truly invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, everyone had taken flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment, the Dao Palace Sacred Body was desperately seeking the Four Extremes Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next, the Transcendent Beyond Sacrifice had returned to their past self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin pulled out the system contract and cautiously addressed the ancient Lu Mingfei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if you get him to sign this? Then the Great Expansion Pearl is forgiven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan glanced at the contract, a faint smile appearing on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing on this Su Lin’s person… it was walking this very path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei took the contract, scanned it quickly, and nodded: “I’ll accept on his behalf. When he wakes up, you find a way to make him sign. If he refuses, use some force—I know my own nature; I get itchy if I don’t get punished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I even beat him…?” Su Lin muttered awkwardly: “Have you seen One Punch Man? Won’t he just break his own limits the moment he wakes up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, burp—!” Lu Mingfei belched, glancing sideways at his other self with a hint of envy: “Everything I have isn’t that easy to absorb. Without him cultivating, and without external interference… let me think…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, it’ll take about fifteen hundred years to fully assimilate all of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In cultivation terms, naturally refining the Dao Fruit requires fifteen hundred years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li and Su Lin fell silent. Fifteen hundred years… how long would it take traditional cultivators like them to reach that level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei explained to everyone, then raised his bottle toward Ye Fan, seated calmly by the lakeside: “Brother Ye, I toast you—thank you for giving me this chance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glug-glug-glug\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can still back out if you regret it,” Ye Fan said, watching Lu Mingfei gulp down the beer: “You’ve come this far in cultivation—it’s not easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei set down the bottle; it clinked sharply against the stone table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, that wasn’t cultivation,” Lu Mingfei gave a self-deprecating grin: “My brother gave me all his powers—I’ve lived on thanks to the dragon blood’s near-immortality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As he said, I seized the power and authority of the world,” Lu Mingfei’s eyes flickered with memory—how long ago was that? But he remembered it clearly: “Everyone was gone… I lived alone in mansions and villas, with champagne and sports cars, every top figure in the world bowing to me, heh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Utterly boring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every weekend I threw champagne pool parties like Caesar, beautiful girls in bikinis surrounding me, fawning, desperate to seduce me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelaien  wondered how much money that must have cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it got meaningless. After a few months, I got tired and went back home, becoming a shut-in. Thankfully, my uncle, aunt, and that chubby cousin who shared my brother’s name were still alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But they were just ordinary people…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were too weak to withstand the high-concentration dragon blood enhancement. Two hundred years later, I was alone again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first separation hurt—I reset time again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second time, the third time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until my uncle noticed something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, human entertainment simply couldn’t keep up with my consumption—I even went into hiding, becoming a pro esports player for a while. Any game, I could top the rankings effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve seen Sword Art Online, right? They developed similar tech—I dropped everything and happily played for about three hundred years,” Lu Mingfei described the era’s technology: just put on a helmet, lie down, and enter a whole new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the finest delicacy grows tiresome after too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After enjoying everything the world had to offer, Lu Mingfei one night saw humanity’s Mars colonization plan and decided to find new amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Learning, learning makes me happy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through endless years, having infinite life, he grew tired of mere material pleasures and began seeking spiritual fulfillment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning, accumulating, analyzing, evolving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human knowledge, half-dragon knowledge, dragon knowledge—he was already at the pinnacle of the world; everything he desired lay before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was the one thing he had in abundance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so… a figure stepped forward from ahead of the age.\u003C\u002Fp>",1198,"2026-06-20T04:17:29.700Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c1a039abb5b3153d9f4320fb24d48c390d28010bb8af5f71620a5511d147e577","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-55","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-53",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
