Where am I supposed to get a time machine to take you to the future?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin looked at Ye Fan—blackened, battered, just barely having crawled out of his own world after failing to break through to the Fourth Pole—with no small amount of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not quite a failure; he only made it halfway through the tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Am I really myself? He’s already reached the Sacrificial Dao realm—don’t you understand what a cultivation novel is?!” Ye Fan’s eyes turned red: “Even Xiao Yan’s future got a power-up hint—he possessed me just to give Lu Mingfei a chance?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the Black Emperor’s Emperor array patterns, his cultivation of the [Heavenly Forgetting] technique, and the foundational arts from Water Mirror Peak, he would already have been crushed by the primordial Dao diagram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Must he truly follow the old path, forcing the White-Robed Divine King Jiang Taixu to pay a terrible price to pave his way forward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Body’s path is severed; heaven and earth in the Shetian world no longer recognize the Holy Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder tribulations are easy to endure; the key is heaven’s recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heavenly Forgetting] is indeed an excellent art, close to the Dao of heaven and earth; when perfected, one holds the heart of heaven itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, precisely because he cultivated [Heavenly Forgetting], heaven hesitated between recognition and rejection, preventing him from being plunged into the abyss by the primordial Dao diagram and the thunder tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was fully activating [Heavenly Forgetting], uniting his heart with heaven’s, forgetting himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought you’d say something like ‘this is a trial,’ or ‘this is life’…” Su Lin didn’t know what to say—he couldn’t afford to speak carelessly; if the Sacrificial Dao above heard him, it’d be bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s a bastard.” Ye Fan went frantic, snatching up a spiritual fruit and biting into it; as the juice entered his body, the charred skin from the thunder tribulation began to scab faster: “Suck—! Have you ever read the description of the Sacrificial Dao above? I’m already at that realm—does it even matter if I cultivate or train now?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To hell with step-by-step progress—give me a cheat code! Does he have a masochistic streak?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was already the umpteenth complaint this month. Indeed, judging by the power displayed by the Sacrificial Dao above, each Ye Fan had already become “One”—whether he walked the original path or not, it had no effect on the future’s outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can hear my complaints, right?” Ye Fan stood and shouted toward the sky: “Quickly give me all the Nine Character Secrets, Emperor Scriptures, and Immortal Medicines!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Mirror Peak shifted its position automatically as an airplane sliced through the clouds above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh… what the hell.” Ye Fan sighed, tossed the fruit core onto the grass beside him, and sat back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin dared not speak or agree—he could only silently sip his tea. Who now remembered his glory just a few months ago when he first drew Water Mirror Peak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the glorious days of old…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, a sucking sensation arose; spiritual energy gathered toward that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi Condensation late stage.” Ye Fan said: “Two months?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About that.” Su Lin didn’t pay attention—who else but Lu Mingfei? Wei Gong Shilang had only just broken through to mid-stage, and Zhong Li had been locked in the Wangshu Pavilion for a full month, reading and researching since their last gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, does he know about the other version of himself?” Ye Fan asked—he’d only heard about it later from others; the future version of himself had left no memory behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only knows there’s a super powerful version of himself who left him an inheritance, and that all the parallel worlds were created by this senior. Su Lin, following the other Lu Mingfei’s instructions, didn’t explain clearly to this one:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’ll find out himself eventually. Knowing too much isn’t good—it’ll crush him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan nodded, pulled out a jade vial, and said: “I’ll go get some blood from him first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take care.” Su Lin waved, continuing to flip through the spellbook in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin hadn’t neglected his cultivation either; originally of mediocre constitution, he would have taken years to reach Foundation Establishment mid-stage—but his resources were more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d planted years-old spiritual plants and herbs across the back mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pills were provided by Xiao Yan and Han Li; Yao Lao had also refined many, most stored in the pavilion—anyone needing them just had to ask in the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he occasionally refined some himself, improving his alchemy proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li and Yao Lao made a perfect team—literally a mobile pill production line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin now spent his days reading to accumulate knowledge, and his nights exchanging for [Sand of Time] to cultivate; otherwise, his progress wouldn’t be this fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to break through to Foundation Establishment late stage; then he could consider stirring up trouble in the Dragon Clan world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the other Lu Mingfei had agreed before vanishing, and this Lu Mingfei had signed the contract too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only problem: be careful of the old bastards in the Dragon Clan world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one hides deeper than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too reckless, and you’ll capsize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin glanced at his system’s Manifestation Points: 5192 points\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting lower and lower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, [Sand of Time] is a time-based consumable item…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should start preparing some items for the Dragon Clan world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survival first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also needed to goad Lu Mingfei into causing trouble—that required careful planning; given Lu Mingfei’s personality, this would be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the final outcome was a Happy End, anything in between could be forgiven, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the [Taiyuan Escape Method] in his hand, Su Lin faintly heard a distant, pig-slaughtering scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One-fifth causal conversion rate—don’t ask for him to be flashy, just don’t let him miss key moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And don’t be like Xiao Yan, always arriving at the last second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue light flashed; Su Lin appeared at the training ground just as Kleine arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re punctual today.” Su Lin said, casually pulling a standard-issue pistol from history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two often trained combat techniques here; of course, Kleine’s experience usually gave him a high win rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve always been punctual.” Kleine, seeing the weapon in Su Lin’s hand, asked in surprise: “Didn’t you keep saying the era hasn’t changed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the bullet fired, it transformed into a blade of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kleine rolled aside; the blade of light grazed past him, kicking up stone chips and dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who told you this isn’t a sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1203,"2026-06-20T04:17:29.700Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2522fd337c3ca3ab76c874b85e9a7921e80de13abad34066ea26c90c614fed86","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-57","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-55",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
