Chapter 640

"Vital signs confirmed. Welcome back, God of the Abyss."

Su Lin squinted, checking if his account had been logged in abnormally—where had his massive GuYueFangYuan ID gone?

Could it have been refined by the God of the Abyss?

Thinking carefully, that spammer from First Heaven had altered the Origin into an identical counterpart named 'Su Lin'—so, rounding off, the logic that Su Lin is the God of the Abyss holds.

"What are you looking at?" Meng Qi asked.

"Nothing," Su Lin said, changing his ID again.

His seventh sense, Alaya Consciousness, told him not to tell anyone about this—otherwise they'd again start accusing him of "opening" things or calling him a cheater.

Compared to that, what matters now is

"Did you open it?" Su Lin asked.

Yuanshi Tianzun Meng Qi in the Dimension of Latitude, Dalaotian, raised a question mark, asking with a puzzled expression: "Isn't that normal?"

"Heh~ Hehehehe," the Fallen Flame Emperor in the Infinite Fire Realm chuckled lowly, then crossed his arms and said: "My power is slowly returning—not much, but enough."

Lord Donghuang Tai Yi, Lord of the Zodiac Stars surrounded by countless stars, was staring blankly; hearing the words from the neighboring world, he sighed helplessly and shook his head.

Li Huowang stared at the blood-red Daoist robe appearing on his body—the one he hadn't worn in ages—and felt his scalp itch; he spoke from inside the bronze coffin:

"Big Brother Su, give me some psychological therapy later—I'm losing track again."

Don't even say you can't tell—I'm about to lose track myself.

Various world domains overlapped, within which the group members appeared as characters within the story.

Soon after, flashes of light appeared one after another; Zhong Li and others returned in their original forms, holding manga volumes with different titles.

"Is this a story?" Zhong Li pondered, stroking his chin uncertainly: "Inside this story, I feel as if I control the entire cosmos."

The manga in his hand was titled "Legendary Deity: Lord Donghuang"—classic American art style, except the cover showed Zhong Li holding the Lord Donghuang Bell in one hand and a twisted, abstract sun in the other.

This was the gift of gratitude from the Above All Things.

Modeled after the Reincarnation Space mission "I Am Legendary," it compiled the history the group had created in the Marvel world into a special limited edition.

"A simulated multiverse."

Teacher Yan Sen didn't much like the art style above, so he changed it to ink-wash painting:

"We can enter this world, and we can manifest its contents into reality—reality will adjust itself; if our power is sufficient, we may even permanently solidify its elements into reality."

"When the time is right, you all can do as I have done."

He raised his hand to show the group his manga story; the pages fluttered like wind-blown paper, and as they turned with a rustling sound, streams of law-light wove out from within the manga and were absorbed into Teacher Yan Sen's body.

"Hmm, good," Teacher Yan Sen said, a faint smile on his lips, clearly pleased:

"It has completed my understanding of the multiverse framework; combined with my prior grasp of multiverse concepts, my realm and cultivation have risen again."

"This harvest has been rich indeed—time to celebrate."

In his eyes blazed brilliant light, as if an infinite-potential universe was being born, then instantly extinguished under his will.

Time flowed, space changed; Teacher Yan Sen, who had walked through ten thousand eons, shattered the virtual story and reshaped it anew—within the Reincarnation Space, supreme power began to spread.

Did he just refine it?!

Su Lin: "..."

Shi Hao: "..."

Meng Qi: "..."

This wasn't some self-indulgent projection manga—it was a single artifact combining attack, defense, and cultivation, serving as a certification for reaching a certain realm, and each person's manga details were unique.

No wonder such a being, standing atop the omniverse, gave such a precious keepsake.

No wonder Loki warned never to lose this collector's edition manga.

Realizing this, some began trembling—but they still turned to look at the "hero" who made this happen.

"Create a multiverse for me to play with," Su Lin said to his avatar, the Skyborne Dharma Form.

The avatar stood still, motionless.

"Give Zhou Mingrui a good beating," Su Lin pointed at Zhou Mingrui.

Zhou Mingrui: "?"

As he flipped through the Cthulhu-style manga, he looked up—a fist the size of a sandbag halted three centimeters from his forehead; violent wind surged after it, shaking his lips and cheeks.

Under Zhou Mingrui's dazed gaze, the Skyborne Dharma Form slowly retracted its fist, and behind him, Gehrman, who had been ready to pull the trigger, also holstered his revolver.

Just like the Law of Aggregation of Unusual Characteristics, it seemed that Stand Users truly did attract each other.

【Statistics Complete: Exposed the Lie of the God of Stories, Loki; Defeated the Fictional Multiverse Devourer; Comprehensive Rating: SSS】

Main Quest Three: I Am Legendary (Completed)

Comprehensive Reward: The team received a total of one billion Reincarnation points; each member received one SSS-grade medal; Reincarnation points have been distributed to each member's account according to legendary influence rate.

Now beginning personal reward tally.】

The cold voice of the Black Ball came through.

This time, however, the reward tally was noticeably slower than before—but now wasn't the time to focus on that; the key point is...

"How much are you taking out?" Ye Fan's voice came from beneath the gauze.

Their newly founded main deity space—the fusion of Main God Space, Reincarnation Paradise, and Six Paths Reincarnation—had a large crowd of eager Reincarnation seekers waiting for mission rewards.

Even if you gave players nothing but a limited-edition stone, they'd risk their lives repeatedly to complete your mission.

Across all worlds, no race is more cost-effective and doesn't violate labor laws.

If there were a virtual reality game called "Blood and Sweat Factory Simulator," they'd play twenty-four hours a day just to win the performance championship.

Probably, maybe, Maybe.

"1/10 is too little, 1/2 is too much."

The Chinese have always favored moderation, so everyone decided to allocate 1/5 to players with special contributions, and replicate the Roundabout Space exchange list, adding a 7% handling fee before listing it on the Universal Knowledge Token.

"That… wasn't it said we could use Su Lin's sourcing channels?" Song Shuhang raised his hand and asked.

"The server is under maintenance. Please try again after maintenance ends." Su Lin smiled.

"Huh?" Song Shuhang sighed: "Then when will maintenance end?"

"Just kidding." Su Lin turned to Meng Qi and said: "For public display items, increase pricing by 10% over Roundabout Space's equivalent as import tax."

Most low-tier products have substitutes in Roundabout Space; Su Lin has some unique items, but for higher-tier ones, cultivators likely cannot afford them.

So to avoid wasting their points, Su Lin hopes cultivators think carefully before acting.

By the way

If exchanging, perhaps I should consider buying some Jin Kela to replenish nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for this body.

Search: Healing

"."

Sorry for the disturbance.

After exchanging some Consumables for Hui Liyi for this month's sales champion Lu Mingfei, Su Lin rubbed his temples and closed the exchange list.

"Have you considered appearing in the future in a feminized Odin form? The viewership ratings would surely rise."

"Get lost."

Due to "Going Science: The Vanished Niu Niu," Lu Mingfei had become socially dead and was somewhat self-destructive; though Huai Shi, also a cowherd, had grown accustomed to it and was still wearing women's clothing without changing.

Su Lin glanced at Zhou Mingrui, then gave Huai Shi a slight nod.

"Zhou Ge…" Huai Shi walked beside Zhou Mingrui and said: "The old one gone, the new one comes… no, that once there was a sincere love…"

Never mind.

Su Lin rolled his eyes and approached Asathos, the Lord, who might or might not have truly conquered Nyaa-ko.

Logically speaking, aside from this reason, he had no idea why Nyaa-ko had helped his side at the critical moment.

"Come to think of it, it's strange—I still don't feel any affection for her, but I'm deeply grateful for everything she's done for me." Zhou Mingrui's face softened with a gentle smile: "She's a good person."

Getting quite sophisticated, learning to cheat.

Probably hasn't been affected by any emotional trauma.

Looks like we don't need to send Lu Mingfei, Huai Zhi, or A Meng to comfort this heartbroken guy in Kleine's dream world after all.

What a pity… no, how lucky to have a friend like me.

"Go back, drink a warm glass of milk, and get a good night's sleep." Su Lin patted his shoulder.

Zhou Mingrui nodded, exchanged some items, then selected return with the manga in hand.

Yet he found it odd—the veteran team leader had given him a meaningful smile as he left.

"Good night."

Another morning.

Waking up, Zhou Mingrui found daylight already bright, streaming through the curtains onto the bed.

His mind was foggy; he felt as if he'd had a long, long dream. After habitually lingering in bed for a few minutes, he regained clarity and slowly sat up.

Suddenly remembering some trivial details, he sharply turned to the still-on computer, where a pop-up window appeared:

——【Do you understand the meaning of life? Do you truly want to live? Yes or No】

Zhou Mingrui's Adam's apple moved; then, trembling, he reached for the mouse and clicked…

The red X on the advertisement.

This dream was utterly ridiculous—being a Roundabout Walker in Marvel, guarded by several beauties, then having his first kiss stolen by a white-haired beauty transformed into a Kamen Rider.

Obviously, you shouldn't scroll videos or play games before sleeping.

Lying back on the pillow, blocking the sunlight with his arm, he lingered in bed for a few more minutes before shaking off the vivid, suggestive chaos of his dreams.

He unconsciously glanced at his right hand—empty, no Roundabout Wristwatch.

Should've spent all the money in the dream—even donated it to charity.

"Actually, it wasn't bad."

Zhou Mingrui chuckled bitterly; he always felt incredibly at ease with his dream teammates, even though a few rookies kept forcing him to eat Devil Chili Wings and Devil Chili Water.

Drip-dong~

His phone, placed beside him with a gorilla logo, vibrated with a water-drop chime. Zhou Mingrui picked up the Gorilla King phone and checked the message.

"."

Sweat slowly beaded on his forehead.

Today is Monday, a workday.

Damn!

Zhou Mingrui bolted upright, rushed to the bathroom for a quick wash, grabbed his briefcase, and headed for the door.

As he left, he glanced at the poster stuck on his wall…

A cold-faced girl in a black evening gown, black hair, golden eyes, frozen mid-performance, sweat glistening on stage.

The new-generation idol who debuted to save Nidhogg Group's entertainment industry—a legendary top-tier sensation, the Witch of Calamity.

"How could you possibly be a boy?"

Boom—

The theft-proof door closed.

Zhou Mingrui checked the time; since he was already late, he might as well go downstairs to Wei Master's Home Cooking for a bowl of tofu pudding and steamed buns.

At this hour, there probably weren't many people left.

Just thinking of the scent—more reliable than any alarm clock, awakening his appetite—made his steps down the stairs quicker.

Tap-tap-tap.

【Due to organizing my sister's wedding, temporarily closed to visit family in Germany】

A sheet of A4 paper was stuck to the steel roller shutter.

No wonder I didn't wake up on time this morning—it's all your fault, Master Wei.

Zhou Mingrui sighed, walked two steps, then turned and walked back, staring at the excuse and feeling something was off.

Whatever.

He picked up his phone and ordered a ride-hailing car; before the driver arrived, he bought a loaf of bread and a carton of milk for breakfast from the neighboring shop.

"Grim Street, Gustav Group."

The driver wore a mask and had no habit of making small talk.

That was fine—he could eat this breakfast, which cost him his entire day's salary, in peace, while scrolling through WeChat, developed by Ye Zhetian Capital Group.

Though it was a top-tier sweatshop, the software was decent.

Ding-dong.

【. Li Jiatu: Today's risqué image!】

Here we go again.

This Crown Prince of Nidhogg Group does nothing but share pornographic two-dimensional images with me.

Earlier, entertainment headlines and newspapers claimed this Crown Prince had sexually exploited the popular idol, the Witch of Calamity—but after interacting with him, I'm certain he's just a herbivorous keyboard warrior.

I've subtly probed him about it before, but he always refuses to discuss it, citing internal corporate secrets.

【. Li Jiatu: This one's not bad either!】

Skipped the risqué images.

Along the way, he picked up his phone and checked today's news.

What: Dan Alliance's external wound powder detected aphrodisiac components.

What: A mysterious church had someone ringing bells and playing mahjong late at night, with eerie laughter.

What: Tai Chu Group has once again acquired another company.

Tai Chu Group?

Zhou Mingrui paid and got out of the car, gazing at the massive structure across from his company—he had not a single good impression of that group.

Back then, I was there.

I saw a pure and beautiful girl.

More unforgettable than the stars—but that girl walked into the men's restroom.
