Chapter 579

Zack stopped and, reluctantly, obeyed the order, pulling up the unconscious Dugu Lang and leaving together with him.

【Ding, defeated a Golden Time Dimension energy user, earned one Grand Spin opportunity!】

【Use it?】

【Yes/No】

"Yes!"

A system voice sounded in his ear, and Lin Yu made his decision without hesitation.

【Ding, congratulations, host! Received ~ Cultivation method: Xiantian Gong!】

"Huh? Xiantian Gong?"

Lin Yu's expression froze upon hearing the reward—he never expected the Grand Spin would yield this particular thing, quite unexpectedly.

"Fine, Xiantian Gong is Xiantian Gong—even if it grants flight on a sword, I won't find it strange."

Lin Yu remained calm; since he'd already drawn it, he stopped overthinking.

Lin Yu closed his eyes tightly and began practicing Xiantian Gong. A golden halo slowly rose within his body, his skin glowing with luster, radiating intense heat.

Meanwhile, the surrounding energy seemed to find an outlet, rapidly converging into Lin Yu's body, pouring in endlessly.

Under this vast torrent of energy, Lin Yu felt his physical strength increasing; every part of his body absorbed power, his blood turning scalding hot, surging like molten lava.

This process took over ten minutes.

Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes, exhaling the stagnant air gathered in his chest. He clearly sensed his body had grown stronger—his strength, speed, and defense had all improved, especially his perception, now extraordinarily sharp.

Even his eyes, embedded with lightning, now glowed brighter than ever, like the brightest star in the night sky, impossible to look away from.

"I never thought Xiantian Gong could have such a miraculous effect?" Lin Yu's face beamed with smiles; though his combat index hadn't risen much, he knew Xiantian Gong was an exceptionally rare cultivation method.

"Time to go. Let whatever can suppress energy users stay here—things like this shouldn't exist at all." Lin Yu muttered to himself, then his figure flickered and vanished. When he reappeared in the Golden Time Dimension, the void rift vanished quietly behind him.

"Big Brother Yu, are you alright?"

As soon as Lin Yu reappeared, Wang Da Dong and Wang Yase rushed over to ask.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Da Dong." Lin Yu nodded lightly, then asked,

"Where are the Shadow Guards?"

"They saw Zack and Dugu Lang run off, so they all fled," Wang Yase added, "This time we won perfectly."

Lin Yu nodded slightly and said, "This battle? For us, it's merely the prologue."

"Da Dong, I've finished using your Longwen Ao."

Lin Yu handed the Longwen Ao back to Wang Da Dong. He had to admit—it was incredibly effective. The only thing left untested was Ding Ding Ding Xiaoyu's Ares Hand; he was curious whether the Ares Hand was as powerful as the Longwen Ao and Shi Zhong Sword.

Wang Da Dong held the Longwen Ao and sighed with slight regret: "We won another battle, but Duan Duan Changren isn't here—otherwise we could've grabbed a bite at his noodle stall."

"What, you're thinking about milk tea again?" Ding Ding Ding Xiaoyu teased, always ribbing Wang Da Dong about this.

"I don't want any of that stuff—go drink it yourselves if you want," Wang Da Dong shuddered involuntarily at the mention of milk tea; it was his nightmare, each thought of it bringing him unbearable pain.

Tian Hongguang chuckled and asked, "Da Dong, I heard King Arthur is your homeroom teacher? That's hilarious!"

"Hmm… yeah, it's kind of awkward," Wang Da Dong pinched his nose, his face full of helplessness.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Lei Kesi said after laughing, "Alright, enough fooling around—let's tell Xiu about today's events."

"I agree," Tian Hongguang nodded slightly, supporting Lei Kesi's suggestion.

..... 0...

"You guys go ahead—I've got something else to do, I'm leaving first," Lin Yu said, exasperated; he'd never cared much for the people from the Iron Time Dimension and had no interest in getting involved.

Watching Lin Yu's retreating back, Lei Kesi smiled lightly: "Big Brother Yu is truly unique."

Tian Hongguang said calmly: "Interesting. Very interesting."

Ding Ding Ding Xiaoyu also smiled: "It's normal for someone so young to have character—weren't we all passionate and bold in our youth?"

Wang Yase looked around and suggested, "Let's go—this place isn't safe to linger. Head to our Tulong Gang base?"

"Good idea, let's go," Lei Kesi and the others nodded in agreement, and the group set off toward the Tulong Gang's hideout.

Back home, Lin Yu lay on his bed but couldn't sleep, his mind replaying every detail of the battle.

He knew they'd won, but barely—if not for the Ghost Wolf Blade and Chaos Sword working with the Longwen Ao, the later situation might have been uncontrollable.

Especially after entering the void rift—he only achieved overwhelming victory by relying on the Golden Time Dimension's guardian artifact; otherwise, the outcome would've been uncertain.

【445】 Final State

"Now in the Golden Time Dimension, we must watch out for the Demoness and the Wind Dragon—Huaguo Village and the Exile Lands are key. Other minor players don't matter."

"As for the Golden Penman, will he release the Golden Pen?"

Lin Yu pondered silently; his greatest concern was the Golden Penman—after all, the man was a formidable presence with bizarre abilities. In some ways, the Golden Penman was even harder to comprehend than the Divine Travelers.

"Enough. Don't overthink it—just go to sleep."

Lin Yu closed his eyes, forcing himself to sleep. He knew overthinking solved nothing; the more he thought, the more time he wasted—better to hurry and rest.

Deep in the night, a white business car slowly pulled into the courtyard of a luxurious villa. Lan Tian stepped out, expressionless, and walked straight toward the villa.

Tuikai the door—the interior was brightly lit; by the window sat a figure clad in a black robe, seemingly lost in thought.

Lan Tian approached, stood still for a moment, then moved slowly to the figure's side and whispered in a low, somber tone: "Boss."

The figure stirred slightly, turned its head toward Lan Tian, and asked calmly: "Have you confirmed it?"

"All birth records confirm Lin Yu truly belongs to the Golden Time Dimension."

Lan Tian replied humbly, raising his eyes to the figure, then added: "We also found that aside from his birth information, Lin Yu has no other records—so sparse it's unbelievable. The most complete data comes from Bage High School."

"Hmm?"

The figure frowned and said, "This is truly strange."

Lan Tian hesitated, then said carefully, "Boss, what if we bring Lin Yu in and question him?"

"What do you think?" The figure's gaze was colder than ice, sending a chill through Lan Tian's entire body; he immediately fell silent and lowered his head.

The figure stared at Lan Tian for a long while, then said calmly, "Ignore him. Keep watching him, and assign others to follow him secretly—don't let him notice. He's no longer an ordinary person."

"Mm." Lan Tian nodded.

"Go back," the figure waved his hand.

Lan Tian bowed and turned to leave the room.

"Good…"

Watching Lan Tian's figure vanish at the door, the man murmured, "Two Guardians have appeared in the Golden Time-Space? That's somewhat interesting."

"But what I care more about is what state you'll ultimately become."

He slowly rubbed the ring on his left thumb's thumb, gazing deeply outward, as if his eyes could pierce through the glass to distant places, whispering softly, "Then perhaps there's a chance to accomplish it!"

"Yue, has the day come?" he suddenly asked behind him.

Immediately, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, dressed in red, appeared suddenly. She bowed deeply and replied gently, "Mr., have you forgotten what date it is today?"

The figure said calmly, "I remember. Tell him to come to the Golden Time-Space immediately."

Yue laughed lightly and said, "I've already told him."

"Alright, go do your thing."

Yue vanished in a blink. The figure slowly straightened, opened his arms, and gazed far toward the horizon, as if his sight could pierce through countless mountains and rivers to reach the unseen realm.

The next day, morning.

Lin Yu was woken by a doorbell. He shuffled sleepily off the bed, rubbed his eyes, opened the door, and saw three people outside. He blinked in surprise: "Why did you all suddenly show up?"

If it had been Wang Da Dong and the others, Lin Yu wouldn't have been surprised—but it was Xiao Pingguo and the rest, which caught him off guard, since they had little connection to him…

Gu Zhi's expression was solemn and sincere: "Wang Da Dong's matter has been settled. It was a frame-up. For what happened last time, we apologize to you."

"Your apologies should go to Wang Da Dong—why are you telling me this?" Lin Yu shrugged, not taking Xiao Pingguo and the others seriously. The matter was resolved; that was enough.

Liu Chen looked at Lin Yu calmly and sincerely: "We came here specifically today to thank you for helping us last time."

Lin Yu smiled: "No need. I saved you only because it was convenient. Now that the investigation is clear, there's no need to say more."

As Lin Yu spoke, Taiyang was about to reply when a rough shout cut him off.

"Lin Yu! Lin Yu! Where are you? Old Man has something to tell you!" Hei Long's voice came from the stairs. Lin Yu leaned out and saw Hei Long panting heavily, beads of sweat covering his forehead, clearly frantic.

Gu Zhi, Liu Chen, and the others turned pale. Hei Long was another Ye Si Ti—their faces were identical. They mistook Hei Long for Ye Si Ti.

Gu Zhi and Liu Chen quickly stepped in front of Taiyang, wary: "Why are you still here? What do you want?"

Hei Long blinked, then realized, confused: "What are these three up to?"
