Blue Star Chapter 646: Duang (a bit late, sorry) Blue Star Chapter 646: Duang (a bit late, sorry) →: xuanshu

Powerful sword qi and sword intent spread wildly, as if a sharp object were pointed at the brow, sending a chilling dread through the area that deterred all ordinary visitors except sword cultivators.

"So, finally stopped hiding? Decided to bring your harem out for a stroll?" Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan maintained his sunny, warm smile and nodded.

"I knew you'd say things like 'transcend emotion' and 'all is empty,' but you've already stirred worldly desires."

Crowds flowed continuously; the air was thick with the scent of various foods. A line of sword cultivators waited outside "Wei Gong's Private Kitchen Restaurant," holding numbered tickets for entry.

These sword cultivators must be insane.

Since plunging into the Infinite Sword Formation, which had been reinforced and manifested as a real universe within the Wish Sea, people kept showing up at the guild's entrance, demanding to meet the "Supreme Sword Sect."

Most would have driven them off for disrupting business, but Ye Fan.

Organized an event: spend 1,000 meals at the restaurant, receive one chance to challenge the "Supreme Sword Sect."

"Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan giegie, you're a bit overheated today—your words are all fire."

Su Lin saw the long line and abandoned his idea of dining out.

"True, but I've prepared silverflower dew to cool your fire," Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan obediently said: "By order, tomorrow I'll be the group admin. For dangerous elements like you who corrupt female group members, I think special care is needed."

Su Lin looked at Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan in surprise and said: "You should take some anti-inflammatory medicine."

Today, Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan not only used softness to overcome hardness, but also showed active aggression—uncommon indeed.

"What can I do? Seeing you so happy makes me so angry my whole body is burning," Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan glared.

Li Huowang suddenly shouted: "Big Brother Xiao, you're on fire!"

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan froze, then saw flames roaring across his own body.

Had he gone mad from internal fire?!

"Big Brother Xiao, I was joking."

The flames flickered for an instant, then vanished like an illusion.

"..." Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan stared at Li Huowang. "I'm not Xiao Huowang. Do you want me to lose track of my own name too?"

"Just a joke—I saw you were in a bad mood just now, wanted to lighten the mood," Li Huowang grinned sheepishly.

He casually glanced at Su Lin's right hand hidden behind his back—the pure, radiant fire had already extinguished.

To cool your fire, Big Brother Xiao, hate me instead.

"Where did your endless fire domain family go sightseeing?" Su Lin asked. "Aren't you carrying bags for your beauties?"

"Everyone treats me like the fallen Emperor of Fire from the movie—either trying to reform me or staring at me with heartsick pity!"

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan felt despair whenever he mentioned this, as if a heavy gloom choked his chest; he barely managed to speak:

"Xun'er's father—my father-in-law—dared not even breathe loudly, urging me not to use lifeforms from the Fighting Spirit Continent to make pills, saying if all else fails, we could just imprison the Soul Clan to ease the crisis."

"Absolutely ridiculous—the few remaining Soul Clan members aren't enough... wait, no!"

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan slapped his own head, crashing into correction:

"I mean, your statements and explanations have absolutely no effect!"

"No matter how I explain, even Cai Lin and Xiao Xiao think I'm putting on a show—they say they'll stand by me no matter what."

Moved?

Of course I'm moved.

But why doesn't anyone believe my explanation? Why are they all hinting about when I regained my memories from before rebirth?

Yes, rebirth—not dimension-hopping.

They even specifically asked Su Lin and others if they were my enemies from before rebirth, whether they should watch out.

"I see," Su Lin's eyes revealed regret.

If I'd known, I wouldn't have gone looking for that annoying demon girl. Better to hide in history and go home with Young Brother Yan.

"Didn't White Zunzhe explain for you?" Yi Leina asked, puzzled.

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan looked as if he'd been hit by Ge Xiaolun—he fell silent for a long while, then pulled a memory stone from his robe and tossed it to Su Lin.

"That old man said he can testify—he's been beside me the whole time, proving I'm not like the movie, that I'm his good disciple, the boy Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan from Wutan City."

"That's great, isn't it?"

White Zunzhe was still quite serious.

"He also said, no matter how many lifeforms or worlds that movie Emperor of Fire consumed, those were past events—the future has changed, this is a new life!"

Got it. Case closed.

Su Lin stared at White Zunzhe in the memory stone—his face bruised and swollen, defending Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan while tenderly tossing Spirit Flame of Bone Cold to him—and resolved to find time to rewatch the historical replay.

"So you get to be romantic, while I've already been declared guilty!"

Though it was all concern and affection, Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan felt a twisted sense of being abandoned by everyone—all because of Lord Haotian's command: "Decay in All Directions."

Unlike those cultivators who had long fled or dropped out midway.

The relatives and friends of the chat group members had witnessed the entire collapse of the Wish Sea's myriad worlds, the destruction of immortal gods and angels.

"Even if I have ninety-nine problems, don't you have one fault?"

Cicadas chirped, fire laughed, people broke.

According to the Ten Thousand Worlds Communication Token forum, 95% of viewers believed the current Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan was not a good person.

"Besides, we're victims of the Death Mark too."

Su Lin said coldly: "This was all chosen by the Death Stone Gate."

"Amazing—the Death Mark even handles matchmaking?" Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan glanced at Yi Leina beside Su Lin, his lip twitching.

He wanted to refute but found no argument.

Previously, everyone thought Su Lin targeted Kleine; now everyone blames him for not targeting him hard enough—everyone still complains he never actually sewed Kleine's mouth shut.

"Mmm," Yi Leina swallowed her last bite of steamed bun. "Excuse me."

I have no connection with Miss Kelaien; I'm not controlled by any force of fate—at most.

"Earlier?"

She paused slightly, as if searching for the right words to describe it.

"Wasn't that photo already in existence before the movie was filmed?" Yi Leina looked at Su Lin, her lips curling into a faint smile. "Look, didn't you say last time that the blind date was trouble sent by some deity?"

"Maybe it was because of last time that I realized who the person in the photo was—but even without that incident, I would've found out someday in the future, maybe half a year, maybe a year, maybe ten years."

"I have the habit of sorting through old belongings; one day, I'll find the photo Li Mingfei gave me and realize the person in it is you."

"When I finally realize it, no matter when, I'll inevitably discover that I've grown fond of light—and thus recognize the possibility that I've grown fond of someone."

But by then, the distance between you and me might already be far greater.

Because she wasn't sure whether this guy would still keep coming to her to learn magic just to avoid work.

Even though Su Lin is usually as lazy as a dead fish, people do change.

"If I must say someone helped, it's only Li Mingfei."

If this feeling arose because of some destined fate, then Su Lin is undoubtedly the luckiest person.

After all, being loved by a beautiful girl whose radiance rivals the sun under the light of all heavens is an absurdly lucky thing.

And who is that beautiful girl?

That's right—it's me.

Yi Leina tilted her head seriously. "So this isn't a relationship forged by false fate."

It was also a small favor to Li Mingfei.

Watching the gray-haired witch, drunk with self-confidence, Su Lin, expressionless, suddenly felt a little numb.

Moved.

But couldn't bring himself to feel moved.

My first love is unfolding like this—coach, is something wrong?

"How exactly was that movie script written?" Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan sighed deeply.

"By the way, are you really sure this is fine? Even Zhong Lao's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array has become real."

Xing opened her mouth in delight. "Really? Then I really can become a Star God!"

"I'm not keen on being a stitched-together monster. Can't we optimize that Time River monster form?" Huiye said.

Su Lin scratched his ear, unconcerned. "I was the first to surrender."

Human joys and sorrows don't connect; Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan only found the place noisy.

"I'm going to buy materials and try using the Cosmic Origin for alchemy. Huowang, let's go."

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan waved his hand dejectedly, but after taking only a few steps, he noticed the others were still following him.

"What?"

"Just walking around together—we're worried you might break down."

Su Lin glanced at the pink-haired prophet who had been loitering nearby since earlier; more people were better—even if darkness suddenly fell and someone got slashed, the odds could be shared.

"Jinx," Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan said—referring to Su Lin.

Pedestrians flowed continuously, some in groups of three or five; Su Lin's group attracted no attention.

After Ye Fan obtained the complete Tiancheng, he could use his authority to do many things—like letting everyone in the group appear in Tiancheng, or making other unknown traders deliberately ignore the group members' presence.

Normally, you wouldn't need to wander around the regular merchandise area—you could consult the guide Huahua or use the Tiancheng Pass menu—but this place was different.

After discovering the Conceptual Deity who could "never lose a single coin," the most valuable items in the entire guild were placed here for bidding—every member's personal treasures.

All kinds of rare treasures, even the Cosmic Origin, were neatly arranged in dedicated areas, dazzling the eyes.

"Speaking of the Cosmic Origin, absorbing it is quite difficult, which is why I want to find another way," Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan said.

"It's a mixture of energy and laws. In Tony's terms, it should be called 'Cosmic Light Fragments.'"

Su Lin's gaze swept back and forth along the way:

"For someone like Shi Hao or Meng Qi, absorbing this stuff is just slightly harder than eating a meal; for ordinary people, you can use specific methods to force a piece into your body."

"But think about how long it would take one person to digest an entire galaxy—or even a portion of the universe?"

"No need to rush. Put it inside you—it'll serve as a hidden reserve energy source, so you won't need to consume ordinary resources for several future realms."

In short, it's like a super battery. It's not unreasonable for Yi Dong to call it dried meat—it's not just energy, but for cultivators, it also lets you comprehend the cosmic laws hidden within during absorption.

"About three units could guarantee a Great Emperor rank; even one unit might suffice for someone with talent."

"For me and Huozi, the quantity is too small to be of much use."

This isn't about being ordinary—it's that you can't expect Su Lin, who already possesses countless Creation Laws, or Li Huowang, who is the Dao of Heaven, to comprehend any further cosmic laws.

"Yi Dong says eating more builds strength; best if you can eat it like food," Li Huowang said.

"Don't tell such horror stories," Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan grimaced.

He was about to say something when he spotted a familiar figure nearby, scanning various people and objects with a blue cube.

"Sixwa. Liu Li Ge." Su Lin waved.

His eyes fixed on the slightly familiar blue cube in Han Li's hand—if he remembered right, it was the Super Value Detection Device he had drawn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what a coincidence," Han Li smiled faintly, yet with a touch of helplessness. "Xing, what are you doing?"

Faced with Xing tugging at his clothes and poking him with a baseball bat, Han Li looked utterly helpless.

San Yueqi hurried forward and pulled Xing back.

"Probably checking whether you're the real body or a paper doll," Su Lin said.

"Of course—" Han Li hadn't finished speaking when the Han Li before them burst into a paper doll form, the blue cube falling into the hands of a new Han Li who had just appeared behind them.

"It's a paper doll," the new Han Li said. "I'm testing the signal reception range of the Ten Thousand Worlds Knowledge Charm."

Li Huowang: "."

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan: "."

Su Lin: "."

This day finally arrived.

The Heavenly Court expanded its capital across all realms; Weigong Shilang worked year-round without rest.

The Death Marker evolved incorrectly; the Infinite Fire Domain cackled cackled cackled cackled.

Now, the Ancestor of Time and Taibai Jinxing have vanished.

Everyone has a bright future.

Han Li cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Su Lin, this artifact works well—thank you."

He raised two identical "Super Value Detection Devices."

"You took a picture?" Su Lin asked, puzzled. "Why are there two?"

Han Li superimposed and then separated the two blue cubes, demonstrating the method.

"Divided into parent and child units; used together, the child unit has identical effects."

Han Li praised: "They can be used simultaneously to compare numerical differences between two objects—whether detecting artifacts, pills, or other items, the effect is quite good."

"Besides basic values, it seems expandable to detect emotional and cognitive disparity between two individuals."

"It's a bit cumbersome to operate, but if used well, it can also detect whether a target harbors malice or affection toward you."

Su Lin only knew this device could detect any object's values—he hadn't discovered these functions, since back then, with a hundred items to test, he had no time to check each one, and if it felt boring, he just sold them off.

"You bought it yourself—what's there to thank for?"

Dammit, this seems fun—could be used for picking up bargains and quality control.

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan asked: "Can I try it?"

"Of course." Han Li handed the device over.

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan weighed it, then separated the parent-child system and aimed it at Su Lin.

Detection failed. We salute you, sir.

"." Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan instinctively stepped back half a pace, fell silent for a moment, then said: "Can you turn into a human, like when you went to the Star's universe?"

Su Lin took the device, glanced at it, then clasped his hands behind his back and smiled: "You're insulting me, aren't you?"

Li Huowang's face tightened, but unexpectedly, Su Lin used One Qi to Transform into Three Clear Ones, separating out the Supreme Pure Lord Haotian, the Grand Pure Shangdi, and the Jade Pure Tianfo.

"Try it."

Humanoid lifeform: Human

So ordinary it brought tears to the eyes.

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan glanced, aimed the parent unit at himself, then the child unit at himself too—he didn't want to compare himself with the guy who hangs around.

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan aimed the parent unit at Yi Leina and the child unit at Su Lin.

Current results (some data may fluctuate):

Gender comparison: Female/Male

Specific value comparison:

Overall evaluation: The two are suspected to be a human couple with mutual affection (this device's research team and Legendary Investigator Command Center assume no responsibility for emotional or personal issues detected).

"Xiao Huohuo"

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan smirked, silently shifted the device aimed at Yi Leina slightly, now pointing it at Taibai Jinxing and Su Lin.

Thought overlap index (0100), current value: Overall evaluation: Suspected to possess cloning-like cognitive traits.

While Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan was stunned, Su Lin narrowed his eyes and, the instant Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan reacted, snatched the device from his hand.

"You little brat," he tossed the blue cube, noticing its data reset the moment it left his grip. "I'll test it myself."

Su Lin aimed the device at Taibai Jinxing—when suddenly, a bald man appeared with a *duang* right before him.

Humanoid lifeform:???

Detection failed. Represents the entire human civilization saluting you, sir.

Fuck—!!!

Su Lin's heart tightened; his three incarnations instantly merged, glaring warily at the sudden bald Wu Ke before him.

"Lord!" The bald man clasped his hands together and prostrated: "Kain has finally found you!": xuanshu→New Book Recommendation: Professional Free Website Disclaimer: All content on this site is collected and produced by Xuanshu (xuanshu) from the internet; copyright belongs to the original authors and publishers.
