We are still asleep within the Source Fortress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mingrui was right—but this process wouldn’t happen overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had time. With all the abilities of those Old Ones partially turned into semi-puppets, He could reboot this surface dream world and draw it back toward the Source Fortress!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Li Huowang and the others remained Qingxing , unfooled, He still had one last chance to struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick, undefined gray mist spread out; the entire world echoed with indescribable mutterings, dim and hazy, flickering with everything from the Fifth Era to the First Era—and even before the First Era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Error, decay, entropy—countless self-destructive factors forged order through Jizhi  madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underlying logic of this world was madness and chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless lights across the city were about to be extinguished; the disoriented darkness threw all moving beings and objects into confusion. The old dream was dissolving; a new dream would soon emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re not feeling well, don’t bother with this,” Zhou Mingrui instinctively reached into the air to grab something—his hand closed on nothing—so he merely mimed putting on a hat:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the truth I must face—even within dreams.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure began to fade, along with the cramped bathroom and the hospital beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t have time to play Inception with you,” Su Lin shook his head, pointing at the other:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got a manga. Li Huowang has one too.

Where the hell went wrong?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though no one chased him this time, he was still furious—he flipped over the nearby table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward Xiao Yan, who had just loosened his pants and relaxed—when suddenly something tripped him, sending him crashing to the ground, as familiar laughter echoed in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Red Center, you’re having another episode?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck the Zuowang Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huowang cursed instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuowang Dao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the hell did Zuowang Dao come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up—only to see a die embedded with a monocle lying on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huowang felt uneasy seeing this thing—every time he retrieved Red Center, he had to purge his memory multiple times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, he remembered: Loki had originally planned to give him a manga called “Legendary Psychopath,” but Red Center had taken it, claiming “we’re all family,” and swallowed it whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, he looked at the dice and remembered something: Loki had originally planned to give him a comic called \"Legendary Madman,\" which Hongzhong Li Huowang had taken, claiming they were all one team, and eventually swallowed it whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You idiot, Red Center!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray-white mist curled upward, filled with the shapes of nurses and guards—but then, deep crimson Daoist robes appeared on Li Huowang’s body, and a copper coin mask covered his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manga! Use the manga!” He drew his Zi Sui Sword and slashed through the approaching humanoid figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still need to control my avatar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuling watched Yilena brewing tea, Xing eagerly holding up a gray wig and colored contacts toward her, and Huiye giving a thumbs-up with a teasing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you all just get the hell out of here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuling’s background established her as living in the same neighborhood, same building, as Kelaien —neighbors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since she worked overtime daily, year-round, she lived at the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he had to work overtime every day, with no days off, he lived at the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray wig landed on Su Yuling’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly like me!” Xing’s eyes widened slightly, pupils contracting: “So the title ‘Queen of the Galactic Females’ truly belongs to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve never met anyone so shameless…” Su Yuling yanked off the wig and asked: “How did you find me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the dream’s gossip setup, we know each other,” Huiye said, holding a game controller, surrounded by countless stacked game worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if activating an Innate Realm: Infinite Gal Game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My own brewed tea, plus the newly released travel diary—ten million spirit stones, or equivalent currency,” Yilena placed the items on the table, then leapt instantly, wrapping her arms around Su Yuling’s neck and hanging from her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My own brewed tea, plus the newly released travel diary—ten million spirit stones or their equivalent in currency,\" Irene placed the items on the table, then leapt instantly, wrapping her arms around Su Yuling’s neck and hanging from her, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Say it again, using this form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Repeat after me: I forever love Yilena~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you put down the camera?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the house, gray-white mist spread, plunging the world into gloom and gloominess; some things collapsed and curled—but Huiye’s game world remained untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin sent a message in the chat group: “Just as you suspected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to Old Lu, bound like a dumpling and trampled under Lu Mingze’s foot: “Switch them to Hunters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It actually works? No wonder it’s a gift from Above All Things,” Meng Qi relaxed his brow and chuckled: “Then, all Legends, prepare yourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a manga titled “Primordial Heavenly Sovereign”—chaotic dark light surged, and the surrounding space shattered, reverting to its primordial, original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a comic titled \"Yuan Shi Tian Zun\" first; chaotic dim light surged forth, and the surrounding space shattered inch by inch, reverting to its primordial state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Shi Hao and Ye Fan, still seated in their wheelchairs and wrapped in bandages, also pulled out a comic book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the illusory multiverse, temporarily restored to his former state, Shi Hao—his back radiant with blinding light—held a celestial sword and gazed into the neighboring universe, suddenly finding it amusing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan, his body covered in red fur and tainted with ill omen, now only wished to go back to the film shoot and rewrite the script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve appeared in the Marvel universe in my normal form before—why depict me like this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Embed the illusory story world into Brother Asathos’s dream world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Sen smiled faintly, nodding in surprise: “That way, it could overwrite the original dream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than he noticed everyone else staring at him with complex expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s surnamed Zhou; you may call him Brother Ke,” Song Shu said, tugging at his lip. “Asathos isn’t to be taken literally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Brother Zhou.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Sen nodded and said, “But I’ve already assimilated my comic through cultivation. Let me think…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a surge of his aura, a black dot suddenly compressed in his palm; countless pure lights transformed into runes, surging into it. All heard a sharp, crisp *pop*—an explosion of creation, a primordial cataclysm—igniting in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadows and lights of countless worlds flickered dimly; countless laws blinked on and off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, in the hands of a black-robed man wearing an imperial crown, they were granted reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s create a multiverse,” Yan Sen turned to face them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Qi’s throat bobbed; his eyes turned black and white, watching as the man claimed every possible future stretching endlessly, while the River of Time and the River of Fate flowed beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not yet attained the Legend realm, nor crossed the Sea of Suffering to reach the Other Shore—but he could confirm: Yan Sen truly possessed traits of the legendary Other Shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Shore?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I owe you all thanks for generously sharing the cultivation methods of your worlds—I’ve borrowed insights from each,” Yan Sen explained with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Qi sensed an incomprehensible aura emanating from him—unrelated to any cultivation method he had ever revealed, not even remotely similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s forged his own Dao outright!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re really going that fast, huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Qi smiled. The realm he had only heard of in legends of the True World—still beyond his reach—had just appeared in this group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his current stage, even without Su Lin’s artifacts, addressing each other as “Brother” already carried a faint air of borrowed prestige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I must elevate my cultivation to truly deserve this title of “Brother,”’ Meng Qi scanned the surroundings: ‘But by exchanging knowledge and learning from one another, we’re all promising futures.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing others unfold their stories, Meng Qi closed his eyes, spinning Taiji in his palm. Chains brimming with the secrets of cause and effect spiraled out from the Wanjie Tongshi Talismans in everyone’s hands, linking all the story worlds together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, only one person remains.\u003C\u002Fp>",2310,"2026-06-20T04:17:33.470Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","10e955284b0dc68fc1ca09cca0d2e541674f0d967e6629754a8a93aa3df92757","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-652","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-650",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
