Wu.\" Su Lin scribbled with a ballpoint pen on a crumpled piece of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he kicked open the door of the luxury hotel’s conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through information gathered by the Lu Mingfei’s nanny squad, he had learned in advance that tonight was a gathering of the Wu family’s half-breeds, all insiders, with hotel staff replaced by their own people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, this hotel was already their own property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored the golden eyes that flickered on all around the hundreds-of-square-meter conference hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin checked his phone, then strolled slowly toward a middle-aged man, 1.8 meters tall, slightly built, with a crew cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Supreme One sent me to deliver a message,\" Su Lin said to the man, disregarding the hostile half-breeds around him. \"Submit, or be destroyed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Supreme One? Hmph... Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man laughed lightly, as if hearing something absurd. \"I thought someone had come to crash the party—turns out it’s a lunatic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he gave a signal to someone behind Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several half-breeds closed in around Su Lin; no matter if he was insane, they wouldn’t let him leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many guests watching, the Wu family’s honor was at stake—if they handled this poorly, the joke would circulate in the circle for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-breeds watching from the sidelines included handsome youths, elegant women, petite girls—all ages, all somewhat related to the Wu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon blood gave them superior talent and longer lifespans than ordinary humans. Laws and morals constrained them, but only conditionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the half-breed circle had its own unwritten rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some timid half-breeds turned away, unwilling to witness bloodshed; others gleamed with bloodthirsty eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Speech—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin closed his eyes, then opened them again. The half-breeds around him froze. His eyes were unlike their proud symbol—the Golden Eyes—pure white-gold, utterly emotionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment their gazes met those eyes, a sense of holiness, greatness, and supreme authority surged in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few who had been ready to attack collapsed instantly; only one had slightly stronger willpower, but his legs trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with their backs to Su Lin didn’t know what had happened—only that several Wu family half-breeds had suddenly collapsed. Someone tensed and edged toward the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d only come for socializing; they had no desire to get caught in a half-breed battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, they lost even the chance to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if a video had been fast-forwarded, one instant the guests’ senses were still in the hotel’s hall, the next, the crystal chandeliers, the wool carpets—all turned pure white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-breeds stared, dumbfounded. Everything had vanished. They stood in a flawless white space, the only discordant colors within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Trait: Kingdom of Light\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin stood at the center of the crowd, draped in a robe woven from particles of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wu family patriarch, suppressing his terror, channeled his battle lust and killing intent into motion, drawing a simple ancient dagger from his waist and slashing at Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From either side of the crowd, two figures surged forward—one old, one young. The elder, past eighty, wore a white martial arts robe like a grandfather practicing Tai Chi in the park; his gaze was icy, his speed even faster than the middle-aged man’s. In his hand, lightning coalesced into a whip, cracking through the air with explosive force toward Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl, about sixteen or seventeen, with a ponytail and still youthful features, her golden eyes blazing, gripped a Tang sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three weren’t the only ones to act—but they reacted fastest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clatter\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like chains dragging across the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could react—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless chains, solidified from light, pierced through every half-breed’s body, whether they intended to fight or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad,\" Su Lin surveyed them coldly, addressing the few suspended before him, motionless. \"You’re the most talented among this group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin smiled as he watched the half-breeds, pierced and bound by light-chains appearing from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they’d been the most hostile, their bloodline quality was decent—including the one who hadn’t collapsed when he first locked eyes with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To still harbor defiance against his fully suppressed divinity? That qualified them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After testing this Divine Trait on the first half-breed family, Su Lin found it far more durable than expected—no cracks or damage had appeared; in his perception, it remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he’d been using too little power, he speculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when he visited next time, he’d use his ultimate move immediately—no wasting time with slow negotiations. Eliminate first, then talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" Wu Zhongcheng’s voice trembled slightly, but he forced himself to remain composed as he demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not a half-breed,\" Wu Haoran stared fixedly at Su Lin’s eyes, even as the white-gold gaze made him tremble and instinctively want to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In nearly a century of life, he’d participated in multiple dragon-slaying battles, even alongside comrades, successfully killing a revived Second-Generation Dragon in the Himalayas—a symphony of sacrifice and courage. Thirty-seven fought; fewer than half survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he swore: every dragon and half-breed he’d ever encountered paled beside this man’s pressure. That Second-Generation Dragon would have groveled before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he be one of the Four Dragon Kings? His family had members studying at the Cassell Academy—they knew the rumors of Dragon King revivals and human victories against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Supreme One sent me to deliver a message,\" Su Lin repeated his opening line. \"Submit, or be destroyed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this Supreme One?\" Wu Haoran asked, unable to believe this man was merely a messenger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Black King Nidhogg. Or... you can think of him that way.\" Su Lin still didn’t know what Lu Mingfei truly was—only that the future Lu Mingfei arrogantly called himself the Supreme One. It didn’t matter. He was the pinnacle of power in this world. He did as he pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... .\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal. There always had to be a moment of acceptance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[1, 2, 3...] Su Lin counted silently, guessing how long before someone would speak first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has He... returned to this world?\" Wu family patriarch felt his tongue stiffening; fear forced him to expend all his strength just to keep standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[17]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin said nothing, only continued watching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which Dragon King are you?\" Wu Zhongcheng urgently wanted more information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? I’m not a dragon. Not a half-breed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin lifted his suppression. The light-chains offered these half-breeds some protection—no need to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celestial music sounded. Divine might surged like an ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Kingdom formed. The God of Light descended.\u003C\u002Fp>",1098,"2026-06-20T04:17:29.700Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3c07d187c97dd6719a39c6fb4afdcabe1e1e95eee6f73d9dbf8cf02cab127cc6","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-69","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-67",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
