Campus Novel Blue Star: 77nt Blue Star Literature / This Chapter: 5383:

"According to the information interference from the cosmic debris, characterized by its massive scale and fusion of countless cosmic forces." Meng Qi glanced sideways, then withdrew his gaze.

"Pulling all realms and worlds into it." Xiao Yan forced a stiff smile:

"Why does this sound like something we just experienced? You agree, right, Ye City Lord?"

"Don't ask me about this, Ximen Chuīyán."

Ye Fan looked puzzled and said: "It sounds so terrifying and dangerous—how would I, a peak Transformation Dragon cultivator, know anything about it?"

"By general reason, indeed."

Everyone weighed their own interests and disadvantages, then occasionally stole glances toward Su Lin's direction, still uneasy.

"Do you know anything else about your Heavenly Dao? " Meng Qi kept smiling, probing: "For instance, does it have any side businesses abroad, like a 'Lord of the Six Realms Reincarnation'?"

"I'm suing you for defamation," Su Lin said expressionlessly.

How dare these things link the Abyss—a place whose name alone sounds evil—to their own Heavenly Dao? On what grounds?

"Think about it—like on my side, Lu Ya or other great beings—who could guess what their secret identities are?" Meng Qi racked his brains, trying his best to sound rational:

"Why not go back and ask? If there's any familial tie or profit-sharing connection, that's a massive inheritance."

"If my kid had the time to mess with this, I'd make him drag your place over first as a neighbor," Su Lin grinned.

"I meant your Heavenly Dao—well, it's basically the same." Meng Qi remembered how this guy usually treated the Heavenly Dao and dropped the topic.

It was clearly the Heavenly Dao favoring him, yet this guy turned a piece of Creation Gold into a snack, so intimate they sometimes couldn't tell who was parent and who was child.

Ge Xiaolun thought for a moment and said: "This 'Abyss Plan' sounds dangerous, but it's actually not safe at all."

With a sharp slap, he staggered two steps, clutching his head and turning around.

"Aowu! Dragon Grandpa thought you had some brilliant insight." The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon retracted its freshly groomed tail and cursed: "What nonsense are you spouting to Dragon Grandpa?!"

"Damn it." Ge Xiaolun felt he might have a mild concussion; he hissed in pain and said: "Big Dragon, I'm just a lowly grunt—do you really expect me to save all realms and worlds?"

"I haven't even sorted out my own side yet—this matter is definitely only for a few top bosses inside."

This reckless eel nearly sent him back to the respawn pool for a hot spring soak.

The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon stroked his whiskers and nodded: "Aowu… That's right. This righteous mission of saving all worlds from suffering naturally belongs to Your Majesty, the Sovereign of All Realms."

"When you get back, make sure dragon liver, dragon meat, and dragon tendons are the first dishes at the Peach Banquet—skip the phoenix marrow."

Su Lin said to Li Changshou, whose physical body was somewhere unknown, participating in a remote video conference: "No, from now on, just turn the Peach Banquet into a full Dragon Banquet."

A group member, perched atop the food chain and who had been livestreaming survival in the Great Wasteland since childhood, instinctively licked his lips; his spiritual sense swept over the dazed Purple-Gold Divine Dragon, then he suddenly frowned.

"Here, take this drop of true dragon blood from Ge Gu," Shi Hao tossed out a crimson drop: "Train hard—your cultivation has fallen behind; strengthen your five viscera, six bowels, and blood qi."

"Aow?! I haven't been a dragon for years." The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon instantly convulsed, hastily shifting into human form, his roguishly handsome face now drooping with despair, showing no joy at the gift.

Ever since he woke up from his last drunken stupor and found his entire body coated in cumin and other seasonings, he had kept his distance from Shi Hao.

This isn't a weasel feeding chickens—

—is he not fat enough?

"If you don't want dragon brain, use it for foil-wrapped brain stew," Su Lin pointed to his head and said:

"Save the damn all realms—we're discussing what exactly? Come on, Great Yuanshi Tianzun, tell him what we're discussing."

Meng Qi spoke solemnly: "Karmic entanglements are hard to resolve. When I ascend to the Other Shore, if my realms reign supreme, then all worlds shall have a glimmer of hope."

A pure, radiant halo shone behind his head, glowing brilliantly—like a Yuanshi Tianzun descending to save the suffering.

"Speak plainly."

Su Lin sneered.

"Tactical retreat."

Meng Qi dismissed the phenomenon and sighed: "This Reincarnation space is harsher than the Six Realms—staying as a Reincarnation traveler might attract unnecessary troubles and karmic entanglements."

According to Cain's account, the intelligence he knew, and every SS-class squad's hidden missions, were merely the entry-level link in this vast chain.

By this logic, only SS-class squads possessing a world as their base can truly stabilize themselves in the Reincarnation space—and even then, only barely.

In this state, unless someone hacks the system, it's better to follow the Thirty-Six Stratagems and flee first.

This rogue dragon must have gotten too full of himself—if he'd used his brain for even a second to consider what Liu Li Ge would do right now, he'd never have said this.

"Besides, we're not the partners of justice."

"That… I want to become a partner of justice."

Weigong Shilang raised his hand.

"We're not Uncle Sam from the World Police Department—we don't need to enforce laws across regions," Su Lin said.

"Sorry, God, Uncle Sam's right here," Su Su Tuoni Stark raised his hand: "But I also think superheroes have limits—they can't handle everything."

Su Lin took a breath and said: "I meant the DC version—the old guy with the star-spangled flag."

One wonders if, in the future, the group's nationalities, professions, and species will rival America's 97 genders—perhaps saying one sentence might get you flagged on the "All-Realm Universal Forum" for offending someone.

"Okay, I know that comic character designated a national symbol by Congress in 1961," Stark hesitated, cautiously asking:

"So you're also DC's God?"

Triggered a keyword, right?

"With my radiant image, do you think I could possibly be linked to any dark multiverse places?"

Su Lin withdrew his gaze from Stark and looked at everyone: "So you should all think carefully—whether you still wish to go to that place."

After Su Lin finished speaking, silence returned to the room. Even though their earlier words had lightened the mood, making the matter seem insignificant, the stakes ran deep—each must decide for themselves.

Including Su Lin, due to the special invitation, every team member had one free chance to exit the Reincarnation space—but they must choose before the second mission begins.

"We can't just ignore it—we must monitor it, and ideally gather more inside information," Meng Qi knew well the importance of nipping problems in the bud.

Although current information suggests the Void possesses infinite dimensions and infinite scale, with infinite worlds in every dimensional layer,

Never mind whether the Reincarnation space's grand blueprint can succeed or what purpose spreading the Abyss serves—at least for now, there's no need to worry about things beyond the scope of our current strength.

The only thing requiring careful consideration is the balance between gain and risk, and so-called "information dissemination."

The Abyss's information spreads to the worlds where the Reincarnation teams appear, meaning that Reincarnators resemble beacons or anchors?

If so, should our team later advance to SS rank, would we become accomplices aiding evil?

"But the items available for exchange there truly offer tempting rewards."

Opportunities and benefits also carry the value of adventure.

"Gentlemen, I won't be participating in missions for now—I've already left your team," Su Su Tuoni Stark said first. "I need to return and prepare for Ultron's creation, or the Time Authority will notice that Avengers Season 2 has no actors."

"But I won't abandon the business there, so I'll find a way to control the points later."

"Hmm, that's true—controlling points. That's a method I heard about, but I haven't tried it yet."

No brilliant scientist could refuse such a treasury—its knowledge, technology, and artifacts blending styles from different worlds could greatly aid him.

For instance, he is bulk-buying adamantium from the Reincarnation space to build a suit of anti-Hulk armor he can actually use.

I hope this thing shows some respect and keeps my armor from being torn apart like cardboard by the Hulk.

"What rank is our team?" Shi Hao asked.

"Thanks to a cowboy who didn't show up," Su Lin scanned the group, sensing something off—no matter how afraid this guy was of being held accountable, he shouldn't be absent during serious matters:

"Our team directly completed the A-rank advancement task from the Beginner Stage and is now S-rank."

"We still have some time left," Meng Qi thought and said, "We can continue observing for now."

"Same." Shi Hao nodded.

Li Huowang lifted his eyes and said, "I don't care."

Then, Su Lin and the others turned their gazes toward Han Li.

Our team currently has only seven people; the other group members left the Reincarnation space after entering via their smartwatches.

"Perhaps we could test whether paper dolls can receive signals?" Han Li said.

At that moment, Meng Qi noticed Han Li was looking at him.

You're treating me as a signal satellite, are you?

"Alright, the rest can think slowly—we a few can prepare to proceed." Su Lin said.

As for how to leave later, there's no need to worry at all.

As Su Lin had previously tried, to leave the Reincarnation space, you must die utterly at the root and then be resurrected—not by reversing time or using resurrection artifacts, but by complete erasure.

It's simple, but I don't know if the Reincarnators' control will deepen as our team's rank rises.

Su Lin gazed at Cain, who had remained silent since earlier, took a Ten-Thousand-Worlds Communication Talisman from Meng Qi, and handed it to him, instructing:

"After you return, act normally as a Reincarnator, raise your team's rank, and don't contact me or seek me out while in the Reincarnation space—just collect any information about the Reincarnation space."

"Try using this to send messages in the world outside the Reincarnation space."

"The rest isn't important. When the time is right, go speak with that Demon Duke."

There's only one such worker team in the Reincarnation space—if it disappears, no one will be left to scout ahead.

【Divine Words: You return to the Reincarnation, strive forward, fulfill My will; do not speak of Me, do not behold Me; the Abyss cannot escape My palm, all beings cannot evade My gaze; this is a trial, and when the time is ripe, guide the fallen demons to bathe in light and submit to you.】

"Use half the refund to buy resources in Tiancheng to upgrade the team. That's it." Su Lin gestured to Cain, signaling he could leave.

Cain knelt on one knee as if hearing holy hymns, tears streaming down his face and dripping to the ground: "I shall never betray Your grace, Your forgiveness—even if Your realm has long been interfered with by heretics, one day I shall surely spread Your glory throughout the Reincarnation and even the ruins of all worlds."

In an instant, his figure collapsed like a sandcastle, dissolving into the air and vanishing.

Su Lin wore a strange expression—since Reincarnation points and medals are so important, don't spend your entire fortune just on access passes.

"Your pricing only exploits the honest and the rich," Su Lin glanced at Ye Fan, only to see him and the others suddenly look enlightened, no longer conflicted as before.

"So you're planning to target the Reincarnation space," Ye Fan waved his hand and walked out. "Remember to notify me before you make off with the cash."

Zhong Li pondered a moment and said, "But isn't this method too extreme?"

Who's targeting the Reincarnation space?!

Even our own Heavenly Dao cannot pull the Abyss region where the Reincarnation space resides—do you really think I, Su, am utterly unattached and invincible? Are you some reckless fool?

"But honestly, we should go restock."

Watching the others gradually disperse, Su Lin snapped back to attention and looked at Song Shuhang, who had looked drowsy since the beginning, as if he'd been "cultivating" for ages, and asked:

"Shuhang, where's White Zunzhe? Either White One or White Two is fine."

Song Shuhang jolted awake, exclaiming: "Ah oh—they met at Water Mirror Peak. I forgot to tell you, Master Su. Sorry."

Song Shuhang felt he should join a queue at the "Imagination Clinic" to check his mental health and sleep quality.

Lately he's had nightmares constantly—dreaming he's being trained by a senior whose voice is familiar but whose face he can't see; waking up exhausted, as if he'd done fifty thousand sets of cardio and fifty thousand sets of strength training.

The strangest part is the dream-within-a-dream: the mirror figure who once knelt before him, bleeding, now stares at him with a sinister grin these past few days.

"Shuhang? Go take a nap."

"Sorry."

Song Shuhang apologized again and decided to go now—when he came before, the queue had included the Gu Yuan Clan Chief, Mr. Walter, and Henghuo Zunzhe; going now should be about the same.

"Liu Li Ge, lend me this toy." Su Lin put away the detection device and looked at the others who had accompanied him. "I'm returning to Water Mirror Peak. What about you?"

"I'll go play games at yours," Xing blinked. "Push the plot."

Yi Leina thought and said, "I'll come find you after my other fifteen selves return."

"My Qilin Divine Herb does a backflip," Su Lin gave a thumbs-up, serious.

"Go die." Yi Leina waved her hand to shoo him off.

When the others had left, she looked at the figure clinging to her, chin resting on her right shoulder—Huiye of Penglai Mountain.

"Aren't you going to play games with Xing?"

"I have a secret thought I very much wish to tell you."

"Eeeh—!"

Yi Leina shivered, as if startled by Kaguya's recent whisper: "Aren't you paired with Bai Mao in Gensokyo? Don't come to me."

"I was just about to tell you—Bai Mao's popularity myth has been shattered," said Hōrai-san Kaguya with a careless smile, shaking her head slightly before suddenly growing serious.

"Seiho may seem harmless, but her popularity is rising steadily and is nearly surpassing mine—she's got the little sister vibe, the otaku appeal, the lack of defenses. Men, these fickle creatures, might easily be swayed by these traits."

Huh? Is this girl trying to trick me again?

"What are you trying to say?"

"Watch out for Shōbō Yusei."

This otaku has water in her brain.
