Lin Qianxuan felt that this was just a simulation; otherwise, in reality, he probably would have found it hard to speak up.

After hearing the game character’s words, Jiang Mengli’s image froze for a long time.

Lin Qianxuan was certain it wasn’t a pause state.

Because her eyes gradually widened significantly.

[Jiang Mengli (looking at you incredulously): Gather your thoughts, don’t be disturbed by external evils. I have a Taiyi Spirit Pill here that can help you heal.]

This was considered as saving him some face, given how much effort he put in and the injuries he suffered.

It was quite tactful.

If it were a bit more blunt, it might have been, “Is your brain broken?”

Lin Qianxuan was a bit speechless at this moment.

It felt like he couldn’t complete this strategy mission!

There wasn’t a strong emotional foundation between them, Jiang Mengli had a resolved nature, not easily swayed by external influences. He himself found it hard to act…

To forcibly攻略 would mean risking his life, using all methods, and reaching even sixty percent affinity would be the limit.

To achieve one hundred percent, they needed common goals and ideals, to make her believe they could live and die together, elevate their emotions, and truly connect from the heart.

[Lin Qianxuan (taking the elixir and consuming it): Hmm.]

Then silence fell between the two of them.

Lin Qianxuan had a premonition; the time for their separation was near.

Or rather, the first play-through was about to end.

The game character was in a poor state, almost without the strength to fight again.

Jiang Mengli still had a trump card, but her injuries weren’t healed either.

Her injuries were much more severe than those of the game character, left by a true Immortal Monarch wielding an Immortal Artifact in a sneak attack, causing a Great Dao injury.

Because of this wound’s suppression, even with breakthroughs, she still couldn’t easily wield her own Great Dao Rules.

She had to gradually eliminate the wound’s influence before she could use her own Great Dao Rules and return to the True Immortal realm.

Before this, if she used her Great Dao Rules, she couldn’t prevent the Great Dao wound from harming her, meaning once she unleashed all her power, it was self-harm or even suicide!

Moreover, this was exactly the result those Immortal Monarchs wanted to see.

They hoped to see Jiang Mengli completely lose all resistance, appearing before them without any threat.

[Jiang Mengli (looking at you): I don’t have an Immortal Artifact, but I have plenty of Immortal Gold. I’ve put them in this Treasure Bottle along with some things I’ve accumulated over the years; keep them well. Your talent is exceptional, but even if you break through to the Great Dao Realm, don’t easily seek revenge for me. At least have the power to oppress this world before you come. In the meantime, protect Earth well…]

As Jiang Mengli spoke, she placed an exquisite porcelain bottle in front of the game character.

She appeared calm, as if accepting her fate as usual.

Lin Qianxuan gritted his teeth, deciding to try once more

[Lin Qianxuan (proposing): Sister Jiang, if…..]

[Jiang Mengli (calmly looking at you, interrupting your words): I can roughly guess how you share my talent, but that’s not what I want. Nevertheless, I’m grateful to you. Your appearance has made my long monotonous days much more enjoyable. You need not blame yourself for not saving me; there is nothing immortal or indestructible. I accept this outcome.]

As she spoke about accepting this outcome, her expression was calm.

But Lin Qianxuan knew she wasn’t that kind of person.

Although he hadn’t known her for long, he understood her character quite well.

Every time, she was striving to resist, always proclaiming that man can conquer nature.

An absolutely passionate person.

When she found out about Chen Long’Er’s incident, she said she’d wipe out the Longsi Family, and she did, not even sparing a cockroach.

Would she accept her fate?

Lin Qianxuan didn’t believe it.

Perhaps she didn’t believe it herself.

She said those words just to comfort Lin Qianxuan.

At this moment, a streak of Escape Light appeared across the sky, carrying endless might. A figure occupied the void, a True Thought scanning and watching the two.

Jiang Mengli looked at the game character and showed a smile.

[Jiang Mengli (smiling): Lin Qianxuan, say the command to enter the Human Dao space for me again.]

[Lin Qianxuan (laughing): The strongest on Earth, Sister Jiang Mengli!]

[Jiang Mengli (laughing): Happy!!]

The next moment, Jiang Mengli turned and disappeared.

At the same time, the entire space was enveloped in a silvery Profound Light, with only Jiang Mengli herself shining in golden light.

“Boom~!”

Endless might radiated from Jiang Mengli. Her whole Great Dao was completely released without reservation, she had returned to the Great Dao True Immortal realm.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Artifact Spirit of the Immortal Artifact also awakened. Faced with such an opponent, the Immortal Artifact dared not slacken in the slightest.

The Artifact seemed like a clock and struck suddenly at Jiang Mengli.

Jiang Mengli’s response was simple: she lifted her hand and delivered a palm strike.

“Dong~! Boom~! Crack, crack, crack~!”

The clock cracked!

The sound waves and aftershocks spread, obliterating vast heavens and earth with their collision.

[Zhong Liang (panic-stricken): My clock!!]

[Jiang Mengli (laughing heartily): Come all of you; I know you’re lurking in the shadows. I want to see what tricks you all have!!]

When Jiang Mengli’s voice fell, numerous figures appeared across the sky, all True Immortals, with Great Dao True Intents that were immense and terrifying. At a glance, there were no less than a hundred, and there were even some imperceptible from the game character’s perspective.

Lin Qianxuan initially thought there would be only a dozen or twenty at most.

Who knew there’d be over a hundred vying for it!

Truly an enemy against the world?

[Jiang Mengli (fierce-eyed): Come fight!]

With a shout, Jiang Mengli transformed into Spiritual Light, randomly choosing an Immortal Monarch to attack.

Her Great Dao manifested, displaying Divine Power with a bit of Golden Light blooming above the Nine Heavens, easily shattering millions of miles of clouds and mists.

Afterward, Lin Qianxuan could no longer perceive any commotion.

They had reached the heavens above to engage in battle.

The game character at this level wasn’t even qualified to watch.

Lin Qianxuan waited quietly for the result.

He hoped that Jiang Mengli could display supreme talent and counterattack hundreds of Immortal Monarchs with a wounded body.

But he knew that this was just a beautiful fantasy.

Don’t even mention counterattacking hundreds of Immortal Monarchs.

Even if she wanted to pull one Immortal Monarch down, she’d have to see if other Immortal Monarchs intervened.

At a certain moment while Lin Qianxuan was waiting for the result, suddenly, a silver-white Profound Light on the screen illuminated ten directions, blinding and dazzling like a supernova explosion.

Although this light was very bright, it felt to him like the last glow before dusk, brimming with heroism and tragedy.

[String of Destiny severed… Destiny Restart in progress… Restart successful!]

…

Failed!

This was originally a dead end.

And the only way to break the situation was not something Jiang Mengli was willing to cooperate with.

Failure was inevitable.

Jiang Mengli was not someone who would choose to compromise her pride just to survive.

Besides, even if she did reluctantly enter a romance with him, with such a mindset, it’s absolutely impossible to achieve a one hundred percent connection rate.

Lin Qianxuan pondered how to solve the problem.

Tell Jiang Mengli in advance?

No, telling her wouldn’t help avoid it.

At this moment, Jiang Mengli had probably already opened the hidden treasures left by the Dragon’s head, and the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade had been passively refined by her.

So now she’s still stalling for time, looking for a chance to break through.

Then tell her in advance that she’ll be ambushed during the breakthrough?

Lin Qianxuan decided to give it a try.

So he began inputting the corresponding information into his True Flame, preparing to inform his future self.

After inputting the information, he looked at the computer.

The next moment, the game screen changed.

It showed the scene of the Human Dao giving him that porcelain bottle.

[You contacted the Human Dao in advance to inform Jiang Mengli of the possibility of being ambushed during her breakthrough. She believed your prediction, so she changed her breakthrough location and set up defenses, but her defense attracted even more ferocious attacks. Under these attacks amidst the Celestial Tribulation of her breakthrough, she found it difficult to resist and perished. The Human Dao handed over what she left behind, along with her last words, to you…]

[String of Destiny severed… Destiny Restart in progress… Restart successful!]

….

“I knew it!”

Lin Qianxuan’s mouth twitched, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

Previously, he had tried to cleverly use momentum to change the heroine’s destiny, but it always ended in failure.

The grand momentum of destiny is difficult to alter through external forces.

The only way that String of Destiny allows him to change fate is by actively participating in the grand momentum himself and connecting the heroine’s fate with his own through heartfelt interaction, to obtain her destiny’s support, and then use this power to alter the predetermined destiny.

He basically wasted a playing opportunity.

It was already hard to play, and now he had one less chance, making it worse.

Drinking a sip of tea, Lin Qianxuan began to think seriously.

He realized that his subjective initiative was still insufficient.

His attitude towards Jiang Mengli was still problematic.

He didn’t genuinely want to conquer her heart.

This was the biggest problem!

It was because of this reason that he made such a low-level mistake, attempting to bypass the rules of String of Destiny by borrowing momentum, instead of truly thinking about how to conquer her.

This was obviously wrong.

Jiang Mengli’s identity was special; she was Chen Long’Er’s teacher and helped him a lot, taking care of him like an elder. He couldn’t bring himself to have wicked thoughts towards her, so much so that he was quite repulsed by the idea of conquest.

But this won’t do!

To save her, he couldn’t have such thoughts and mindsets.

He must face Jiang Mengli as a woman who attracts him.

White hair, golden eyes, older, beautiful, rich lady, funny mature woman? And she was Chen Long’Er’s mentor too…..

Thinking of this, Lin Qianxuan suddenly blushed slightly.

He thought of some inappropriate scenarios.

Truthfully, he did have thoughts about Jiang Mengli, but he always suppressed them.

However, this time, he might need to pick up those miscellaneous thoughts and let them spread.

“Alright, with sisters here, what’s wrong with a mentor-student relationship?” Lin Qianxuan, being accustomed to his own insensitivity, easily crossed another moral threshold, got his mental preparation done, and looked at the screen with a more determined gaze. He murmured, “Sister Jiang, sorry, but this time I really have to offend you!”

Lin Qianxuan began formulating a strategy for conquering in his mind.

Jiang Mengli has a weakness, a very apparent one, and that is the Dragon Bloodline!

The impression the Dragon head left on her was too profound, too significant, too important, making her mindset towards it very peculiar.

Aspiration, longing, respect?

Perhaps a little of each.

With a slight turn, these emotions could all be affection.

Coincidentally, he also possessed the Dragon Bloodline, so as long as he played his role well, it would be easy to project that image before the wounded Jiang Mengli.

Then she would undoubtedly be moved.

And what is the characteristic of the Dragon head?

An existence with unparalleled wisdom and perception, and combat power strong enough to defy the heavens.

The latter should be more important.

In other words, as long as the game character can fight well, Jiang Mengli will be very tempted.

In the first playthrough, the game character gained connection points from fighting continuously with her.

And the easier the defeat over powerful enemies, the more goodwill Jiang Mengli would give.

So, the key to the initial conquest should be easily defeating those besieging opponents, perfectly playing an invincible Dragon Bloodline!
