Chapter 33: Wish granted!

It's here!

It's finally here!

Gazing at the message sent by Su Haoming, Lin Yu couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Setting aside the magic-cultivation system, he had been so active in the group, carefully building relationships with the members—what was it all for?

Wasn't it just to travel to other worlds and see if the chat group could solve the problem of him being locked by his original universe?

Now, the kindness he had sown had finally yielded fruit; how could Lin Yu not feel overjoyed?

Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately gave a positive reply.

【Lin Yu: Of course!】

【Su Haoming: Then I'll prepare.】

Su Haoming switched to the 【Group Mall】 interface and purchased a Cross-Realm Invitation.

Afterward, he glanced at his cousin and the others who had already come ashore, quietly retreated, found an inconspicuous secret passage along the cave wall, and after turning into the deepest part of the passage, he sent the invitation to Lin Yu—

【Group member 'Su Haoming' has sent you a Cross-Realm Invitation. Do you accept?】

【Yes/No】

Lin Yu clicked 'Yes' without hesitation.

The next instant, a familiar silver portal erupted before his eyes.

But unlike the previous portals, this silver light was even more brilliant, and it faintly emitted a pulling force, as if Lin Yu would be directly dragged into the portal the moment he relaxed his mind.

Could it be... that this portal can break through the lock of the original universe?

Lin Yu hurriedly gave up resistance, gazing at the portal with full expectation.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Ten seconds passed, and Lin Yu still stood firmly in place.

His expression gradually darkened; this damn portal couldn't pull him at all!

As expected, one shouldn't hold any hope for the chat group...

Lin Yu shook his head, carefully took a step, and reached his hand toward the portal.

The moment his fingertips touched the silver light, the entire portal suddenly shook violently.

The silver light flickered incessantly, tearing open pitch-black cracks.

The next second, infinite silver light surged from the void, attempting to mend these spatial cracks.

... Can it hold?

Lin Yu hesitated, curled his fingers, and only poked his index finger into the portal.

In an instant, the silver light collapsed; the pitch-black cracks not only spread across the portal but even affected the surrounding space, causing the entire castle to tremble violently.

At the same time, Su Haoming, hiding in the cave's secret passage, widened his eyes, staring at the scene before him in terror.

He saw a three-meter-long pitch-black crack split open on the silver portal; what appeared in the crack was not the familiar castle, but a terrifying universe resembling hell.

There, there was no life, no planets; everywhere was filled with matter and energy capable of tearing through space-time, as if the core of an ignited star had expanded to the scale of an entire universe.

High temperature, high pressure, and high density turned the entire universe into a furnace compressed to the extreme; various microscopic particles collided crazily within the universe, like an endless particle storm, presenting a bizarre and shifting state of chaos.

To be honest, if not for the silver light shrouding the surface of the crack, isolating the energy and dimming the light, Su Haoming would have been blinded long ago.

These scorching and dense energies would have long since erupted from the crack, instantly destroying the Earth and even the entire solar system...

Su Haoming snapped out of his shock and hurriedly opened the chat group.

【Su Haoming: Lin Dage, what are you doing?!!】

【Su Haoming: Stop quickly!!!】

Seeing the string of exclamation marks in the group chat, Lin Yu sighed and silently withdrew his finger.

In an instant, the crack in the Tang Gui world completely mended, and the spatial collapse anomaly in the study dissipated along with it.

So it really doesn't work?

Lin Yu felt somewhat disappointed.

After a moment of thought, he cast his gaze toward the sacred scripture in his hand.

Since his external body couldn't pass through, a small tentacle of consciousness should be fine, right?

Thus, a moment later, a thick-covered book flew out from the portal before Su Haoming, landing on the ground with a thud.

The next instant, the silver light rapidly converged toward the center, and the entire portal suddenly closed, disappearing into the air.

"..."

Su Haoming slowly lowered his head, staring blankly at the sacred scripture on the ground, and couldn't help but ask in the chat group:

"Lin Dage, where are you?"

In the Frieren world, Lin Yu stood in the dilapidated study, the powerful barrier set up around him radiating magical light, constantly repairing the damage caused by the spatial crack just now.

Gazing at the spot where the portal had disappeared, Lin Yu sighed faintly.

Although this was partly because the chat group itself wasn't high-end enough, ultimately, it was because his own methods were insufficient; he possessed the great power to destroy an entire universe, yet he couldn't achieve the delicate control to not harm a single leaf or handle things with ease.

To solve this problem as soon as possible, Lin Yu still needed to enrich his knowledge and methods.

In this regard, although the chat group wasn't very reliable, it was indeed his greatest hope at the moment.

Whether it was the potential upgrade after completing stage tasks or the future addition of other new group members, it all meant nearly infinite possibilities for him...

Thinking this, Lin Yu shifted his attention to the sacred scripture in the Tang Gui world.

As the only container capable of holding his consciousness, in a sense, the sacred scripture was his avatar.

Even separated by an entire world, he could still clearly link with the consciousness on the sacred scripture; this was the only discovery worth feeling comforted about during this cross-realm attempt!

【Su Haoming: Lin Dage, where are you?】

【Lin Yu: Right in front of you.】

After sending this message, the sacred scripture on the ground slowly floated up and landed in Su Haoming's hand.

Su Haoming widened his eyes, staring at the book in his hand with uncertainty.

"... Lin Dage?"

Su Haoming probed cautiously.

The next second, the sacred scripture suddenly radiated a faint light, shrouding Su Haoming's body.

Su Haoming was startled and was about to ask when he suddenly heard extremely faint footsteps coming from outside the corner of the secret passage.

He frowned slightly, his figure hidden in the faint light, and turned to look at the entrance of the secret passage, only to see Lu Lingfeng and three Jin Wuwei sneaking over, their expressions vigilant as they scrutinized the end of the passage.

【Lin Yu: It must have been the commotion just now that startled them.】

【Lin Yu: Don't worry, I have already hidden your figure; they cannot see you.】

Sure enough, the four men led by Lu Lingfeng swept their gazes back and forth over him, but they simply couldn't discover his existence.

A moment later, the four exchanged glances and slowly retreated from the secret passage.

Su Haoming breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice: "What now?"

【Lin Yu: No rush, follow my instructions first.】

As the message was sent, the sacred scripture in Su Haoming's hand suddenly radiated light.

The blue light intertwined above the sacred scripture, turning into a floating indicator arrow.

Su Haoming nodded, followed the arrow's guidance out of the secret passage, and soon stopped at the base of the cave wall not far away.

"Is it here?"

The sacred scripture did not speak, but flew out on its own, radiating a faint light.

The next second, the ground surged, revealing a male corpse that had not yet completely decayed.

There's actually a corpse here?

Su Haoming looked surprised.

Immediately following, the sacred scripture flew into the corpse's hand; the corpse, which had been dead through and through, suddenly opened its eyes and nimbly climbed up from the ground.

"Ah?"

Su Haoming was startled, hurriedly took two steps back, and stared at him with uncertainty: "Lin Dage?"

Ignoring Su Haoming's greeting, the corpse—or rather, Lin Yu—lowered his head, opened the sacred scripture in his hand, and tapped it lightly.

In an instant, rich white light shrouded his entire body, causing the previously spread corpse spots to rapidly recede, the shriveled muscles to gradually become plump, and the full head of black hair to regain its luster.

The dirt and dust all over his body fell off with a rustle, revealing healthy and delicate skin, and the rugged facial features also changed, gradually twisting into the handsome face Su Haoming recognized.

In just a few seconds, the corpse from before had turned into a handsome young man.

Seeing this scene, Su Haoming was not as surprised as he had been just a moment ago.

After all, in his heart, Lin Yu was omnipotent.

As long as this face of Lin Yu appeared, everything became reasonable.

After possessing this body, Lin Yu looked at the tattered clothes on his body.

The next second, the fabric squirmed, unraveling and recombining on its own like a spirit snake.

In the blink of an eye, a perfectly intact brown garment was draped over him.

Lin Yu stretched his body, a hint of joy appearing on his face.

Although the method of crossing over was not ideal, this wisp of consciousness that had been smuggled over truly did not feel the lock of the original universe.

If nothing went wrong, he was completely free in this world; apart from the twenty-four-hour stay limit, there were no restrictions on his range of movement!

This could be considered a wish granted, right?

Lin Yu felt moved in his heart, then sent the sacred scripture in his hand upward.

The originally thick sacred scripture gradually shrank during its ascent, finally turning into a miniature book pendant, which was tied by a thread emerging from his collar and hung around his neck.

After doing all this, Lin Yu smiled and looked at Su Haoming.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
