The divine energy light pillar soaring into the sky lasted for an unknown amount of time, and Lin Qianxuan keenly noticed a subtle change in the mindset of the Muddy God.

He seemed a bit panicked.

“Mortal, I admit you have some skills. I admire you. How about this: I promise you, I will retreat to the Muddy Qi World and never invade your lands again…..”

Lin Qianxuan remained silent; he could actually feel that the Muddy God might indeed have some intention of retreating.

But, he still only trusted dead enemies.

So please, Muddy God, just go ahead and die!

After a while, the spiritual fluctuations of the Muddy God became intense. Visibly, his state began to waver.

“Your talent far exceeds my imagination. Perhaps you could take that step to enlightenment. If you are willing to stop now, I am willing to tell you the secret of enlightenment….”

“The divine soul of your Divine Machine is incomplete, and its functions are not powerful enough. I am willing to sacrifice half my divine soul for you to refine the Divine Machine… ahhh….”

“What do you want? We can cooperate. Now, with various realms converging, it is an unprecedented great opportunity. If… if… you spare me, you may have the chance to reach heights far beyond now… to stand at the peak of all realms is not without opportunity….”

Lin Qianxuan: “….”

At this moment, Lin Qianxuan only felt a bit tired, his entire body ached, and he had no intention of bothering with the Muddy God at all.

“Foolish ant!! I am a god spirit created by Heaven and Earth… ah ah… if you slay a god, you will suffer divine retribution…..”

The Muddy God’s turbid energy had already been drained, his thick qi and blood inside being used as a replacement energy.

Puff puff puff~!

The skin of the Muddy God’s body cracked, spewing dark purple blood mist, and his flesh began to shrivel.

In this process, he began cursing Lin Qianxuan.

He spewed all the dirtiest words he could think of.

He described Lin Qianxuan as the weakest weak turbid worm, the filthiest, most disgusting creature of chaos, and cursed that Lin Qianxuan would forever remain a mortal with no chance of enlightenment.

Well, compared to netizens, Lin Qianxuan felt he was actually quite civil in his cursing.

Back when living off the internet, the disdain of netizens was truly heart-piercing.

Over the years, he had gotten used to just letting insults roll off him.

The Muddy God’s cursing didn’t even excite him slightly, it even made him a bit sleepy.

Finally, the Muddy God’s defenses collapsed.

Tears ran down the corners of his eyes as he sobbed, “This stupid place, dumb place, rotten place….. I shouldn’t have come….Why, why do these kinds of monsters always appear…..”

The essence of the Muddy God’s flesh rapidly poured out, his voice gradually weakening until it disappeared.

The body of the Muddy God connected by chains seemed to be nothing but a layer of skin, devoid of any substance within.

Lin Qianxuan had a premonition that if this continued, the remaining essence of the Muddy God’s divine soul would be overdrawn and exhausted.

However, at this moment, the Emperor Sword in his hand transmitted an instinctive intention.

The essence of the Muddy God’s divine soul, it wanted it.

Lin Qianxuan finally understood why his in-game self didn’t kill the Muddy God all at once.

He was obviously trying to use the Muddy God’s divine soul to upgrade his weapon.

Fortunately, Everything doesn’t have the right to choose; the choice lies with Lin Qianxuan.

“Can you manage it? Don’t mess it up!”

Lin Qianxuan only asked Everything this one question.

Everything’s answer was simple.

[Yes].

It was that confident.

If it were a complete Muddy God, it absolutely couldn’t manage it.

But if it was just a divine soul, no matter how strong, it would still be destined to be swallowed in one bite.

Lin Qianxuan thought for a moment and decided to trust Everything once.

The Chain of Mutual Destruction began to collapse.

Crackling~! Puff!

The Muddy God’s skin fell freely from the sky.

Lin Qianxuan threw the Emperor Sword transformed by Everything towards that skin while he himself manipulated water to frantically flee into the distance.

In the game, the Muddy God’s primordial spirit had attacked him once; although he didn’t die, it was better not to get hit.

Boom~!

The primordial spirit of the Muddy God suddenly manifested.

“Destroy my body, then compensate me with your body!”

The Emperor Sword pierced the remaining skin of the Muddy God, while the Muddy God’s primordial spirit rushed out at great speed, heading directly for Lin Qianxuan.

In almost an instant, the Muddy God had already gotten close to Lin Qianxuan.

Although the Muddy God was now in primordial spirit state, and not at his peak, Lin Qianxuan was also severely injured, how could he possibly outrun him?

Then, the Muddy God’s primordial spirit raised a hand to strike.

Bang~!

Lin Qianxuan was hit and sent flying towards the ground.

His body made a large crater upon impact.

In the primordial spirit state, the power of this strike was much weaker, causing Lin Qianxuan severe pain all over his body, but it was not fatal.

Of course, the Muddy God definitely didn’t intend to completely destroy Lin Qianxuan’s body, as he still wanted to possess it.

“Hurry up!”

Lin Qianxuan shouted inside.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~!

Suddenly, a tremendous suction force emanated from the Emperor Sword, directed straight at the Muddy God’s primordial spirit.

“No… you….”

The Muddy God uttered his last two words before his primordial spirit was consumed by Everything.

A dark purple glow flickered on Everything, then returned to its original calm.

The Muddy God’s divine soul had already been completely digested by it.

Lin Qianxuan, with a thought, manipulated the water to flip himself onto the ground.

Looking up at the sky, the turbid smoke clouds were still dense, but he found his mood relaxed.

Scanning his surroundings with spiritual power, his entire body was in tatters, and his skull had several cracks.

His internal organs were also shattered beyond recognition.

Injured like this, he felt staying alive was a bloody miracle.

However, he still won!

“Hehe… Hoho…..”

He wanted to laugh, but his damaged organs made his laughter sound like a broken bellows, leaking and hoarse.

The victory was very fortunate.

From start to finish, every step was accompanied by a bit of luck.

Honestly, if the God of Mud wasn’t provoked, if he were someone who liked to go all out from the start without the habit of toying with his prey,

Lin Qianxuan would have died with dignity.

Of course, Lin Qianxuan preferred to live without dignity like this.

Even though he hadn’t done anything beyond his limits outside of games, he decided to remember this moment deeply.

In the future, when facing mortal enemies, he must always use his big move right away, making sure to eliminate them without giving a chance for a second strike.

Buzz~! Whoosh~!

As Lin Qianxuan’s mind moved, the realm buzzed for a moment, transforming from the Emperor Sword into a lotus, then whooshing back to his side. A massive amount of Spiritual Liquid was converted from within, pouring down onto Lin Qianxuan, directly submerging him in the Spirit Liquid Pool.

Nurtured by the Spiritual Liquid, Lin Qianxuan’s injuries stopped worsening.

His body also began mobilizing Divine Energy for repairs.

Coupled with the powerful self-healing ability from the Dragon Bloodline, Lin Qianxuan didn’t need to worry about dying.

Of course, being able to move would still take some time, and this period likely won’t be short.

With his whole body relaxed, he couldn’t help but close his eyes and directly fell asleep.

The realm also transformed into a ray of light entering Lin Qianxuan’s Purple Mansion.

“This… More than half of the Imperial City is gone? What kind of existence was Lin Qianxuan fighting against?”

“I’ve found Lin Qianxuan!!”

“Yue’Er, quick….”

“Sister, he still lives…..”

“Is this human skin? It doesn’t feel like a human! Could it be the enemy Lin Qianxuan fought against?”

….

Lin Qianxuan didn’t know how long he’d slept; he only vaguely heard the voices of the Gongsun sisters and the Rebel Army.

But he was too exhausted, his injuries too severe, so he didn’t respond at all.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a bed, his tattered clothes replaced, the filth washed off, and bandages tightly wrapped around him. A fragrant medicinal scent wafted from beneath his skin.

Not far away sat Gongsun Yue, lost in thought.

The moment she saw Lin Qianxuan wake up,

“You’re awake, sir? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Gongsun Yue asked, approaching him.

Lin Qianxuan tried to speak but managed only a hoarse breath, accompanied by a sharp pain in his chest.

More painful than when fighting the God of Mud.

He wondered if adrenaline had dulled his pain then.

“Sir, your pulmonary injuries are severe. It’s best not to speak for a while. I’ll ask, and you only need to blink.” Gongsun Yue said, “If yes, blink once; if no, blink twice…”

“Yue’Er, how long did I sleep?”

Lin Qianxuan extended his spiritual power outward, directly communicating with Gongsun Yue.

He initially thought this ability was common among cultivators who mastered external spiritual projection, later realizing it was unique to the Dragon Bloodline’s capacity to understand the languages of all beings.

Only the Dragon Bloodline could easily discern the meanings of other creatures’ spiritual power and communicate using their own.

“You can still talk like this?” Gongsun Yue was surprised before responding, “Sir, you’ve slept for nearly eleven hours.”

“Almost a day, huh?” Lin Qianxuan murmured to himself.

This wasn’t considered long, given his injuries; sleeping for ten to twenty days straight wouldn’t be impossible.

It merely proved how extraordinary the Dragon Bloodline was.

His injuries were far more exaggerated than those in the game.

In the game, he could move again after just a few hours.

“Yue’Er, are we inside the Qiankun Cauldron?” Lin Qianxuan asked.

“Sir, you’re currently in an inn within Wudu.” Gongsun Yue said.

“Could you please call Miss Ying? I have something to discuss with her.” Lin Qianxuan requested.

“Certainly, I’ll call my sister right away.”

Gongsun Yue nodded and quickly turned to leave.

As he watched Gongsun Yue’s departing figure, Lin Qianxuan felt no more guilt or moral questioning.

He believed he deserved to enjoy all this.

Having risked his life to save the world, what’s wrong with enjoying the company of two beauties?

If anyone had a problem, they should try it themselves?

He understood why, in the game’s future, he could be so liberated.

Someone who’s died once wouldn’t be entangled in worldly matters anymore.

Now he only wanted to enjoy life, not caring about other trivialities or giving them much thought.

Before long, Gongsun Ying led Gongsun Yue into his room swiftly.

It seemed others came too, but they didn’t enter; only Gongsun Ying walked in.

“Lin Qianxuan, are you alright?” Gongsun Ying approached, full of concern.

“Still here, not dead.” Lin Qianxuan forced a smile and, using his Spiritual Power, told Gongsun Ying, “Miss Ying, the battle’s over. I’ve killed the manipulator behind the Muddy Qi, and the Qiankun Cauldron can suppress the Muddy Qi’s eye…”

“Mm, mm, mm!”

Gongsun Ying nodded repeatedly, listening intently to Lin Qianxuan’s words, her eyes filling with tears.

“Miss Ying, come closer.” Lin Qianxuan said.

Gongsun Ying was puzzled but moved closer.

“Hold my hand.” Lin Qianxuan instructed.

Gongsun Ying extended her hand cautiously, gently clasping Lin Qianxuan’s.

Lin Qianxuan’s hand bones were fractured, heavily bandaged, yet he exerted effort to grip Gongsun Ying.

“From now on, always hold my hand, don’t let go…”

This time, Gongsun Ying neither avoided nor blushed, but nodded firmly.

After everything Lin Qianxuan sacrificed, it was time for her to respond.
