Observing these top figures in action allowed Lin Qianxing to glimpse some higher-level secrets.

That power was unmistakably the manifestation of a certain will.

This will was so strong that it distorted the rules of reality, thus altering reality itself.

So, even when he faced the Tainted God, he pushed his energy level to the utmost extreme but still couldn’t inflict effective damage.

The reason lies here.

His power did not contain his own will.

Or perhaps, even if it did, it was far too sparse and feeble.

He needed a qualitative transformation into a will force strong enough to distort reality to battle an opponent like the Tainted God.

Lin Qianxuan recalled the key points Gatling told him and started searching within himself for his resolve.

Reflecting on his original intent, he simply wanted to live well.

After some thought, Lin Qianxuan found this obsession too broad; he needed something more specific.

For example, becoming the strongest.

Or perhaps, guarding his homeland.

He mused for a long time, and Lin Qianxuan was lost in thought for a long time.

He carefully observed the several top figures, gleaning insights into their will cores.

Jiang Mengli’s core is “protection.”

She didn’t plan to proceed alone but planned to use her power to protect those who followed, so they could move forward together.

Li Xi’s core seemed to be “peace.”

His power gave Lin Qianxuan a feeling of extreme restraint, carrying a sense of prohibition against all.

Gatling’s was similar to Jiang Mengli’s, yet different; his was “guardianship.”

Simply guarding his homeland, his people, and his own life.

Aleksey, the bald one, was more straightforward; just pure “combat.”

He pursued ever-increasing power, desiring increasingly stronger battles to feel excitement.

Zainab’s core was “freedom.”

Giving a feeling of ethereal unrestrainedness.

Mariano’s core was “seeking knowledge.”

Just pure curiosity was his core strength.

To become a strong figure at this level, one must have unshakable conviction.

Lin Qianxuan searched for his own resolve.

He hasn’t fought many battles.

Though his experiences since childhood were rich, he hadn’t undergone much rigorous training.

He didn’t seem to have a conviction that nearly overflowed.

Become wealthy, rise above others?

He thought of this initially, but after working, found that beyond fulfilling his life’s needs, money didn’t mean much to him.

As for power, he’d been a guild president in games, managing dozens of people, but he found it boring—lots of scheming and deliberating over equipment distribution.

In the Qingling World, he experienced absolute dictatorship, which wasn’t his pursuit.

Thinking deeply, Lin Qianxuan suddenly recalled his experiences repeatedly exploring the future within games.

Initially, Takamaki Qingji, with just a glance, frightened him to the point of trembling all over and breaking into a cold sweat.

Later, the Tainted God effortlessly dictated his life, several times walking him to the edge of life and death.

Lin Qianxuan, thinking of this, felt fearful and unwilling.

He seemed to catch onto something.

Pursuing stronger power?

No, more accurately!

Controlling destiny!

He needs the power to control his own destiny and future!!

Bang~!

Deep within his consciousness, a crimson blaze rose, the scorching heat incinerated everything, consuming all.

Several top figures repairing the world array subconsciously shifted their attention to Lin Qianxuan not far away, with eyes showing varying degrees of surprise.

Despite still being very weak, without a doubt, this was the same level of power as theirs.

The True Flame within Lin Qianxuan’s consciousness burned briefly, soon extinguishing; his will, essence, and spirit were not yet sufficient to sustain its lasting flame.

Coming to his senses, Lin Qianxuan felt especially exhausted mentally.

Like the feeling of pulling all-nighters and working three days straight when he was still an ordinary person.

No, even worse than that.

Lin Qianxuan couldn’t hold on any longer and fell asleep directly.

Jiang Mengli waved her hand, a light enveloping Lin Qianxuan, taking him away from this place.

….

….

When Lin Qianxuan awoke, he had already returned to the Otherworld Bureau.

The Profound Dragon Battle Armor on him had been removed.

He recalled briefly and vaguely remembered what he had done.

The feeling of mental exhaustion still lingered slightly.

The aftereffects are quite significant.

For now, Lin Qianxuan felt hesitant to attempt simulating or using high-level power.

Picking up his phone, Lin Qianxuan contacted Zhang Heng.

“Xiao Lin, you’re awake?”

“Director Zhang, did Director Jiang bring me back? How long did I sleep?”

“Hmm, you did well on this mission; you’ve been asleep for more than a day.”

“Did Director Jiang leave?”

“No, you can go see her, she seems to have something she wants to say to you.”

“Okay, I’ll go now.”

…

Ending the call, Lin Qianxuan immediately got up to find Jiang Mengli.

She’s also a busy person, if you’re not careful, she’ll just disappear.

Miss this chance, and who knows when you’ll find her again.

Familiar with the route to Jiang Mengli’s residence, Lin Qianxuan received an invitation to enter, and soon found Jiang Mengli playing a swiping game on a tablet in the courtyard.

“Sit.” Jiang Mengli said to Lin Qianxuan without looking up.

“Jiang… sister, thank you for your help before.” Lin Qianxuan started.

He originally wanted to address her with a title, but seeing Jiang Mengli frown, he had no choice but to change it.

Calling her sister felt really awkward.

Especially considering that the person in front of him might be a hundred years old, and she’s your boss.

“It seems you’ve recovered well, but with your current foundation, you can’t fully grasp True Intent. It’s best not to trigger it casually,” said Jiang Mengli.

“Is that thing called True Intent?” Lin Qianxuan asked in confusion.

“In the Spirit Qi World, it’s commonly called True Intent. We also have terms like ‘Reason’ or ‘Law’, ‘Rules’, ‘Dao Principle’ here, but no matter what it’s called, its essence is the same,” Jiang Mengli explained. “It is the manifestation of one’s own powerful will.”

“I understand now.”

Lin Qianxuan nodded as if he had some realization.

“I have transferred my Town Guardian privileges to you, henceforth, you can enter the Human Dao Space, and use some of the Human Dao’s functions to assist your cultivation. The incantation to enter the Human Dao Space is ‘Earth’s Mightiest Jiang Mengli Sister’, you just need to shout it out loud. You can ask the Human Dao how to use it when the time comes,” said Jiang Mengli with a straight face.

Lin Qianxuan was still pondering the front part, but when he heard the incantation ‘Earth’s Mightiest Jiang Mengli Sister’, he almost couldn’t hold it in.

Yet Jiang Mengli remained deadpan, with no change in expression at all.

This boss has a bit of a mischievous streak.

Lin Qianxuan wanted to ask if he could change it, but feared Jiang Mengli might change it to something even more embarrassing to say.

“Thank you, Sister Jiang.”

Lin Qianxuan thanked her.

Jiang Mengli put down the tablet, looked coldly at Lin Qianxuan, and said, “It’s Sister, not Sister Jiang, and you can’t add ‘you’.”

Being looked at like that made Lin Qianxuan’s skin crawl.

He quickly nodded and said, “Understood!”

Only then did Jiang Mengli withdraw her gaze and continue playing the game.

Lin Qianxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He realized that Jiang Mengli seemed to be a bit obsessive about age and titles.

Thinking it over, was it because she cultivated too long in the Otherworld but still felt young at heart, while her actual age was quite old, leading to this peculiarity?

It seemed she only acted this way in front of him and Chen Long’Er.

Lin Qianxuan had once seen Zhang Heng directly call her Director Jiang.

She didn’t seem to care so much about titles then.

Could it be an influence of the Dragon Bloodline?

Speaking of which, Jiang Mengli’s mentor should be the Dragon Head, right?

Dragon Head also possesses the Dragon Bloodline!

Lin Qianxuan felt like he had figured something out.

“If there’s nothing else, you can leave now, don’t interrupt my gaming,” Jiang Mengli said.

“Sister Jiang… Sister, I recently planted some spirit plants, they’re not anything special, just a token of appreciation, hope you… you don’t mind.”

As Lin Qianxuan spoke, he took out five Thunder Lingzhi from the Qiankun Space of the Myriad Phenomena.

Looking at the large Lingzhi with electric arcs, Jiang Mengli’s expression finally changed slightly.

“Has the cultivation of spirit plants at this level become feasible? Your bloodline growth rate is much faster than Chen Long’Er’s, by comparison, she seems like that ‘buy one get one free’…,” Jiang Mengli quipped, then said, “I’ll accept these, you can cultivate in peace, with me here, I can still hold up the sky.”

With that, she waved her hand to collect the items, using some unknown space treasure.

Lin Qianxuan bid farewell, not disturbing her game any longer, and turned to leave.

Instead of leaving the Otherworld Bureau directly, he planned to greet Chen Long’Er after she finished work before heading out.

Returning to his bedroom along the way, Lin Qianxuan felt he might be able to travel again.

Calculating, about two or three months should have passed in the Qingling World.

He definitely planned to make a trip, but not just yet, maybe later.

In the bedroom, after closing the door tight, Lin Qianxuan pursed his lips.

The incantation was indeed a bit too embarrassing!

“Earth’s Mightiest Jiang Mengli Sister!”

Lin Qianxuan shouted the phrase in his normal accent, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mengli in the courtyard lightly curled her lips, a hint of mischief in her smile.

Back then, none of her pranks on the Dragon Head ever succeeded; the other party always reacted with the exasperated look of a father, effortlessly revealing her plans, leaving her perpetually dissatisfied.

Currently, this Dragon Bloodline isn’t that formidable yet, she could play around more.

Though it seemed she wouldn’t be able to for much longer.

The growth speed was absurdly rapid.

At first meeting, he was just a super-soldier.

Now he’s at the level of an elite monster.

The bloodline Divine Power is about to awaken.

In no time, he might turn into a real little dragon.

Then it wouldn’t be fun anymore.

Fortunately, there are two Dragon Bloodlines.

If she can’t play with this one, there’s another.

Combined, she can enjoy for quite a while.

“Happy.” Jiang Mengli raised her eyebrows and whispered.

Then, hugging her tablet, she disappeared from the spot, heading toward the Spirit Qi World.
