Chapter 642

Ahead, not far off.

That man was chatting with his 'female lead'—former female lead—about methods to destroy the happiness of his counterpart; after various attempts and discussions, the red-haired witch finally gave the answer.

"I cannot open the gate to the Far Shore of Ultimate Law," Farah said: "Maybe they're mating inside like monkeys in heat?"

"Shit this fucking bastard!!" Su Lin's face darkened as he summoned the Azure Celestial Manifestation and punched his doppelgänger again and again, like beating a punching bag.

"If there's any way to destroy that guy's happiness, even if I must achieve ultimate transcendence, I—"

He, who had been throwing a childlike tantrum to vent his emotions, turned and glanced at himself, took a deep breath, and suddenly calmed down.

Yi Leina bit her straw between her teeth, casually averted her gaze, and looked aside—where the man's other 'former female lead' was staring at her.

"."

This kind of thing is first come, first served.

But how to put it—Yi Leina always felt the child's gaze was incredibly complex; those hollow eyes weren't focused on Su Lin but on her.

Even if you stare at me like that, I won't give her back to you.

"Never mind, thanks this time," Su Lin waved the Universal Knowledge Token in his hand at Farah: "If that guy comes back, let me know."

Farah nodded slightly, then paused and asked: "Do you still have my Library fragment?"

Library?

Su Lin froze, then remembered that the ability 【Library Series—Ability Log】 had been recorded in Su Tuoni's 'Future Diary' as a crucial 'foreshadowing'—using it would trigger an attack from Farah.

Thank heaven and earth, he wouldn't have to be drenched in a forbidden spell at the Nascent Soul stage over a decade later.

But my Nascent Soul is pretty strong, so maybe I don't need to worry?

Su Lin said with some embarrassment: "It was a one-time use item—I already used it."

"Is that so?" Farah's tone held regret: "That was a collection of knowledge from the Far Shore of Ultimate Law. I wanted to study the fragment in your possession. Since it's consumed, forget it."

"Knowledge of the Far Shore of Ultimate Law..." Su Lin murmured.

Su Tuoni had said that, in the truest sense, only Farah existed as the sole life of the Far Shore of Ultimate Law—transcending the cycle of life and death, reaching the ultimate realm; it should have been a library encompassing infinite knowledge, and Farah was the librarian born from that library, tasked with organizing and recording new knowledge.

"Wait a moment."

Su Lin closed his eyes and entered his already dilapidated spiritual world, taking hold of the book floating within.

It already recorded many 'Mind Control Immunity,' 'Elemental Immunity,' 'Spatial Explosion Immunity,'—and other Marvel Universe ability immunities, enabling him to nullify those superpowers the next time he encountered them.

But with the First Azure Celestial Manifestation as the origin of the Omniverse, he could already nullify most Marvel Universe abilities by default.

Not exactly useless, but the cost—

"The Ability Log is gone, but the Ability Immunity Log remains," Su Lin opened his eyes and returned to reality, holding in his hand a sphere of crimson magical energy.

He handed the glow to Farah, then added: "Lend it to you for study—remember to return it."

"."

The crimson glow was absorbed by Farah; she stared at the book in her hand, standing frozen for a long time, her expression filled with deep confusion and bewilderment.

It was part of the current Library—her new research direction, still unfinished.

"Fascinating," Farah tucked the book away.

"We're leaving," Su Lin took Yi Leina's hand and walked away; after all, the person had already been delivered to this Earth.

"Are you really Yi Leina?" Luo Xiaoying asked at that moment: "The Gray Witch?"

"I am Yi Leina, and I am indeed the Gray Witch," Yi Leina gave the same answer as before.

She had answered this question several times already, but this time she noticed the phone wallpaper in Luo Xiaoying's hand—a two-dimensional girl with gray hair and a soft pointed magic hat.

Last time she'd heard, the girl had once cosplayed Yi Leina—only someone who truly liked a character would do such a roleplay, right?

A question flashed through her mind.

Do you, like this man, also like me?

It felt as if continuing to think would make this relationship impossibly complicated; Yi Leina's lips twitched twice, yet those dimming eyes could not forget.

——'I really am a terrifyingly charming, sin-laden witch.'

"Still, I'd like to ask beforehand," Yi Leina said warily to the man ahead, who still held her hand and had returned to Shuijing Peak:

"You're clinging to me like this—aren't you in heat?"

"Didn't you say you wanted me to be your God?" Su Lin glanced at her, teasing: "You've already activated your charm skill—now you're saying this?"

The embarrassing words had indeed come from her.

Back then, she'd been influenced by the Light of Possibility from the Eternal Queen, viewing from a higher-dimensional perspective, skipping the event's progression, and seeing this guy's broken body plummeting from beyond the universe; though she'd been furious then—

"Maybe it's my future self," Yi Leina sighed.

She'd originally planned to go home, but Su Lin had kept her by his side, claiming he needed her; recalling how he'd suddenly calmed down just now—

"Wait!" Yi Leina realized a possibility, her cheeks flushing crimson; she hurriedly tried to reason with Su Lin, who was rummaging through drawers, searching for something essential.

"I'm not ready for that kind of thing yet—if you absolutely must, I allow you to use a historical projection first."

"These fruits and local specialties can be given to your parents."

They spoke almost simultaneously.

Su Lin: "."

Yi Leina: "."

Worst fear: sudden silence.

Yi Leina, hands covering her eyes, slowly parted her fingers and stared at Su Lin ahead, clutching the gifts, mouth agape.

"Alright, thank you."

She calmly and politely took the box from his hands, intending to pretend nothing had happened and leave.

But just before leaving, she caught Su Lin glancing at her with a mischievous smirk—

Then he plunged his hand into thin air and pulled out a witch with soft gray hair, sapphire eyes, a decorative brooch on her chest, looking younger—likely from two years ago—yet still impossibly beautiful.

Who exactly is that person?

That's right—it's me.

It's me.

Me.

"Stop right now!!!"

In the fireplace, the firewood burned overnight had turned to ash.

Morning sunlight streamed through the glass window into the quiet living room, where a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression sat on the sofa, fingers interlocked beneath his forehead, his toes tapping incessantly, until finally—

"What's your job? What's your annual income? Have you bought a house?"

These questions murmured from his lips.

Opposite him, Su Lin sat upright, expression stern and serious, answering each question precisely.

"Ugh." Yi Leina seemed unable to bear watching this scene.

When she came to her senses, she realized—fearing he might truly lose control—she had already brought that worthless man home with her.

Didn't this guy even say his job was president, his annual income was infinite gems, and his house was in Heaven's Palace?

"It seems he took my previous advice to heart," Victoria walked over with a teapot, a smile on her lips, her tone slightly surprised: "But this progress is astonishingly fast~"

Hidden at the corner between the staircase and the living room, Yi Leina, who had been eavesdropping, twitched her eyebrows and involuntarily shifted her gaze aside:

"Hehe… Mom, what are you talking about?"

And if we're counting progress, thousands of years have already passed.

"After observing him last time, he's clearly an excellent candidate~ I was worried you'd be too slow and another girl would snatch him away."

Victoria nodded in satisfaction: "When I met your father, I made my decision as swiftly as lightning, then seized him at the speed of light~!"

Stop praising him!

That guy can hear every word clearly—his grin is barely contained!!!

Yi Leina clenched her fist, swung it toward the worthless man who was sneaking glances at her, and muttered under her breath, irritated:

"You're completely wrong—he's got a terrible personality, enjoys others' misfortune, and constantly says one thing but means another."

"Those things don't really matter," Victoria gazed at Yi Leina and smiled: "You've always been this way since childhood—once you set your mind on something, you push through to the end."

"For us, as long as you can travel happily as you always have, send us letters occasionally, share the sad and joyful stories from your journeys, and return to us refreshed and full of spirit."

"As long as our most important daughter finds happiness and joy, that's enough."

"Yi Leina, do you like him?"

Yi Leina's expression stiffened—this question—

"He likes me twice as much," Yi Leina flicked her hair and declared firmly.

"Really?" Victoria paused, startled. She brushed past Yi Leina's side and burst into a delighted laugh: "To hear my daughter say something like that—how impressive."

"You two gentlemen, come have some tea together."

"Yes, Mom," Yi Leina slowly stepped forward, following behind.

"Yes, Mom," Su Lin replied with a smile.

Yi Leina's father and mother both froze.

"You won't take away my beloved only daughter!"

Yi Leina's father suddenly covered his eyes, wiping away tears: "I haven't agreed yet! Don't talk to me about my daughter getting married now!"

"Dad, I'm still at home, and no one mentioned marriage."

Yi Leina glared at the worthless man, who had finally revealed his true nature, and said: "Look what you've done?!"

Compared to Yi Leina's aching head and her devastated father, Victoria clapped her hands and smiled: "Then we can't pretend we didn't hear that~ Dad, go change your clothes."

Huh?

The other three turned to Yi Leina's mother, all slightly bewildered.

"At this point, we must meet Su Lin's parents."

Huh?

Victoria narrowed her eyes, gazing at the dazed Su Lin: "You're not joking, are you?"

Gulp

Su Lin's Adam's apple moved.

Su Lin stood dazed in front of his own door—the children's bicycle left by the neighbor in the hallway was gone.

It was said the neighbor's daughter-in-law had given birth to a child who didn't resemble her husband; after a DNA test confirmed it was the ex-boyfriend's from before the arranged meeting, the son and daughter-in-law divorced, and the court awarded the bicycle to the daughter-in-law as joint property.

He remembered his final day before rebirth, and the last time he'd met the Heavenly Emperor Liu Ruyan—suddenly, an overwhelming terror enveloped his heart.

"The third dimension is terrifying," Su Lin muttered, pulling out his keys to unlock the door.

Su's father was still watching TV in the living room, mimicking the TV program's "Qi Cultivation Breathing Method for the Elderly"—he was no longer surprised by Su Lin's sudden returns or departures.

Previously, Old Liu's daughter had entered the Jixia Academy, but after several months, she failed the tests and was expelled.

Old Liu, face flushed with shame, tears streaming, brought gifts to beg for help, hoping Su Lin would forgive past grievances and find a way for Liu Ruyan in the West.

He immediately called and claimed the user was out of service area, saying even he couldn't find Su Lin, thus easily brushing it off.

"Back?"

"Back."

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

Su Lin sighed.

Just now had been like sitting on pins and needles—he'd rather return to the Divine Throne of the Abyssal God and re-fight the First Celestial Sky for the future than face Yi Leina's mother.

Even the future 【Deep God】 was burned up— a future without a future is not the future I want.

"Since you're a cultivator, you won't starve anyway—save your money, I'm not ordering takeout for you."

"Let's go eat at that same restaurant later," Su Lin said.

"Why spend money and effort on that?" Su's father grumbled; cultivation was even more addictive than fishing.

"I," Su Lin said, "my girlfriend's parents are coming."

"So what?" Su's father stopped mid-movement, suddenly turning to Su Lin with shock: "Which girlfriend's parents?!"

Su Lin: "?"

Looking at his father's expression, Su Lin could only rub his temples.

"The one… who brought your granddaughter…"

Su's father's face visibly paled, as if plunged into memories of the past.

Boom—

In the instant when emotion and body unified, as spirit and mind merged, qi gathered from all around.

"You're not…?!" Su Lin widened his eyes.

Huh—ha—

Su's father, seated cross-legged on the chair, jolted violently, leaping to the ground in one motion—his essence, energy, and spirit surged through his meridians, his qi channels cycling endlessly.

"Your mother!!"

Su's father rushed into the bedroom, interrupting Su's mother's cultivation: "I told you they'd make it!"

"Cough! You scared me so bad I couldn't catch my breath—what's made it?!" Su's mother asked.

After a while

Another wave of qi surged forth; Su's mother and father stepped out of the bedroom, their aura no longer concealed.

Foundation Establishment realm?!

Su Lin: "…"

So excited they broke through—they've both gone mad.

Latitude Realm, Great Luo Heaven.

Meng Qi's Cup of Cause and Effect flickered dimly; around him, darkness deepened, the chaos of primordial void reappeared—he sat cross-legged in empty space, eyes closed, the King's Absolute Blade guarding his side, wreathed in violet lightning.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, seized a fleeting thread of cause and effect, and hurled a Universal Awareness Rune toward infinite heights, into a world shrouded in gray mist.

Moments later.

"Done." A faint smile curled his lips; using the Universal Awareness Sphere as a backend permission, he pulled up a series of images.

There—Zhou Mingrui and Lu Mingfei?

Meng Qi stirred his thoughts—then suddenly, he saw a woman, breathtakingly beautiful, with icy eyes and a strange familiarity, picking up the Universal Awareness Rune.

"No!"

An inexplicable, overwhelming terror struck; Meng Qi flung the Universal Awareness Sphere outward.

Hum—

A blinding white light, tearing through all things, pierced heaven and earth.

The moment of the universe's birth—the original color—the Genesis of Light!
