As Lin Yuan passed through the final layer of the Light Net, it felt as if he had slipped through a layer of cling film, the ease of it almost surreal. "Is this it? I expected something more like a heavenly net, but this is even less formidable than the infrared alarm at my apartment complex," he scoffed inwardly.
The Core Area was as vast as a sports arena, dominated by a massive metallic device that resembled a giant top. Its surface shimmered with an eerie blue light, distorting the surrounding air and emitting a crackling sound. A powerful Spiritual Energy Fluctuation hit him like a wave, making Lin Yuan's head buzz. "Wow, this thing looks more impressive than Old Wang's pressure cooker that's been in use for twenty years!" He stroked his chin, activating his Guan Qi Abilities, squinting at the contraption as if appraising an antique.
Lingqi cascaded down from the top of the device like a waterfall, pooling on a circular platform at its base. In the center of the platform was a swirling black vortex that spun incessantly, as if intent on devouring everything in its vicinity. The Lingqi was so dense that Lin Yuan felt that even breathing it in could enhance his cultivation. "If I could use this for alchemy, wouldn't I be able to brew some miraculous elixir?" he mused while circulating his own Lingqi to withstand the onslaught of energy.
"Could this... be the legendary time-space portal?" Lin Yuan swallowed hard, feeling as though he were dreaming. He rubbed his eyes vigorously to confirm he wasn't imagining things. "If this is real, then I could go anywhere! Want to grab skewers on Mars? Enjoy osmanthus flowers on the moon? Soak in hot springs in Andromeda..." His imagination began to run wild.
Just then, the screen in the center of the device flickered to life, revealing the familiar face of Nan Gong Xuan. Dressed in a white lab coat, she wore a slight smirk. "Well, well, if it isn't our delivery boy! What brings you here? Delivering takeout to me?" Her tone dripped with sarcasm, as if she were observing a hapless mouse caught in a trap.
"Nan Gong Xuan, what are you up to? What is this thing?" Lin Yuan pointed at the enormous device with a hint of wariness in his voice. He hadn't forgotten how close he had come to being incapacitated by her Kuwahari Pressure Point Technique last time.
"It's nothing much; just a passageway connecting parallel worlds," Nan Gong Xuan replied suddenly serious, as if announcing something that could change the world. "I'm about to activate it and explore an entirely new world—a future full of infinite possibilities."
"Parallel worlds? You can't be serious! Do you think you're Doraemon or something? You can't just travel through time and space!" Lin Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief; he felt her thought process was more convoluted than Old Wang's plumbing. "Do you have any idea how dangerous this is? What if you end up in a world full of Godzillas? You'll be squashed into a pancake!"
"Danger? Ha! That's exactly what I'm after!" A glint of fervor flashed in Nan Gong Xuan's eyes, reminiscent of an extreme sports enthusiast. "Only in danger can one find true strength! A peaceful life leads to decay; only by challenging limits can one break through oneself!"
"You're playing with fire! Do you even realize what consequences this could bring? If you open Pandora's Box and unleash something bizarre, will you take responsibility?" Lin Yuan tried to reason with her, but it felt like talking to a brick wall.
"Consequences? Of course I know!" Her tone turned icy, like an ancient block of ice that never melts. "But I don't care! For my goals and ideals, I would sacrifice everything—even if it means destroying the world!"
"What is your goal that makes you willing to risk everything?" Lin Yuan pressed on, feeling an unsettling sense of foreboding deep within him.
"My goal..." Nan Gong Xuan paused, then spoke each word slowly, as if they were bombs detonating in Lin Yuan's ears. "Is to become the ruler of this world! I want to control everything, I want to change everything, I want this world to operate according to my will!"
"You've gone mad! You've completely lost it!" Lin Yuan felt as if he were watching a sci-fi horror film, with Nan Gong Xuan as the deranged villain. "Who do you think you are? God? Wanting to control the world? You should take a good look at yourself!"
"Mad? Perhaps." A strange smile appeared on Nan Gong Xuan's face, reminiscent of a patient emerging from a mental hospital. "But only a madman can change the world! Those who follow the rules will forever live in the shadows of others! And I am destined to become the legend of this era!"
She reached out and pressed a red button, and the black vortex at the bottom of the device began to spin faster. The surrounding Spiritual Energy Fluctuation intensified, causing the entire laboratory to shake and emit a thunderous roar, like a giant beast about to awaken.
"This is bad! She's about to activate the device!" Lin Yuan's heart tightened; he knew he had to stop her, or the consequences would be unimaginable. He took a deep breath, channeling all his Lingqi, preparing for a desperate fight.
He immediately activated the Time Manipulator, and a visible wave of energy spread from him, making time seem to freeze. The dust in the air hung motionless, suspended in space. He dashed toward the control panel at the center of the device, moving like lightning.
"Think you can stop me? Not that easy!" Nan Gong Xuan's voice suddenly echoed in Lin Yuan's ear, laced with mockery, as if she were playing with her prey like a cat with a mouse.
Lin Yuan turned abruptly, only to find that Nan Gong Xuan had somehow appeared behind him, holding a glimmering dagger. The blade shimmered with an eerie blue Lingqi, exuding a chilling aura of death.
"You..." Before Lin Yuan could react, Nan Gong Xuan's dagger had already pierced his chest.
The intense pain made Lin Yuan's vision go dark; he felt his life force rapidly draining away.
Nan Gong Xuan let out a cold laugh as she withdrew the dagger, and Lin Yuan's body collapsed helplessly onto the ground.
"Goodbye, delivery boy," Nan Gong Xuan's voice was icy and merciless. "I wish you luck in another world."
She pressed the red button again, and the black vortex at the bottom of the device instantly expanded, engulfing the entire laboratory.
Time-Space Distortion, everything descended into chaos...
Lin Yuan's consciousness gradually blurred; he felt as if he were falling into an endless abyss...
