this infinite world

— Slaps in the face always come so quickly.

When Yang Yun and Chu Hao crossed endless dimensions, easily piercing the barrier between the two main god spaces as if tearing a thin sheet of paper, the members of the Celestial Team instantly fell into a strange state of cognitive collapse.

Seeing me is like seeing a god.

If anyone had not understood what the "giant tree" and "light" described by the divine will were, they would have no doubts after seeing Yang Yun with their own eyes... The moment the mortal eyes saw the true god, all the imaginations of "greatness" in the hearts of the members of the God Team were completely reshaped at this moment.

Like an ant suddenly facing the majestic Mount Everest, or a nightingale catching a glimpse of a roc soaring in the sky, the difference in status stemming from the very essence of life makes every observer tremble and shudder involuntarily, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance, wishing they could simply prostrate themselves in submission...

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a questioning voice, seemingly coming from the heavens, startled the group of Celestial Team members who were about to succumb to the vast Holy Path. A gentle voice followed: "Sorry, I seem to have used a little too much force... Okay, this should be fine."

As soon as the words fell, the Celestial Team's vision cleared. Where were the towering trees and the blazing green light? There was only an ordinary young man, no different from any other, nodding and greeting them... Far from being arrogant like a saint, he appeared exceptionally approachable.

Is this the majesty of a sage?

At that moment, all the members of the Celestial Team, including Ling Xin and Xiao Niaoren, had the same thought.

If they didn't have a clear idea of ​​what the so-called "saint" was capable of, seeing Yang Yun casually tear through the void and physically "link" the main god space of the Northern Ice Continent team and the main god space of the Heavenly God team, then even someone as bold as Zhang Heng and as carefree as Xiao Niaoren wouldn't dare to utter a single word... Nonsense, if even this supposedly absolutely safe main god space could be invaded, what strength did they have to fight against this great god?

The shock that the members of the Celestial Team felt when they first saw the true face of the Sage was indescribable... Although the other party was quite friendly at the moment, anyone who had experienced that feeling would never dare to treat him as an equal.

Is this something we can handle? Where is the Supreme God? Help us!

But when the members of the God Team saw Yang Yun swagger into the God Space, and the large ball of light that usually hovered in the void still didn't react at all, their hearts turned to despair... If even the God didn't react, what could they do?

Tired? Let's just destroy it already. You all have this powerful figure protecting you, so why were you pretending to be weak while secretly being strong?
At this moment, this was the thought in the mind of more than one member of the Celestial Team.

When they first entered the Lord of the Rings world, the Celestials basically didn't take the Arctic team seriously, not even Ling Xin. He valued Chu Hao's intellect and strategy, not the Arctic team's overall strength. They thought the Arctic team was weak, but it turned out to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the kind that can transform into a Decepticon... Goodness, no wonder they didn't wipe us out in the Lord of the Rings world. So they were going to follow the trail and come after us, taking down our entire team along with the "chief god"?

Of course, the members of the Celestial Team were unaware that Yang Yun hadn't initially contacted the Northern Ice Continent Team, but rather had suddenly intervened halfway through the team battle. In fact, his initial target wasn't Chu Hao, but rather Ling Xin... At this moment, seeing the young man who bore at least a 70% resemblance to Zheng Zha, and whose facial features and aura vaguely reminded one of Chu Xuan, Yang Yun smiled slightly.

"Hello, Ling Xin." Facing Ling Xin, whom he had only seen in books before but never in person, and who was now replaced as the protagonist by Chu Hao, Yang Yun felt a pang of regret. Looking at this young man whose fate had changed so drastically and who had become the captain of the Celestial Team in Yang Yun's timeline, he didn't say much, but said directly, "I've come here to take you back to the real world... of course, your 'real world'."

"Reality……"

Although Ling Xin had made many contingency plans in his mind, he was still slightly taken aback when he heard Yang Yun's words, which were definitely not what he had expected. He then thought of many things, such as the occurrence of the meme effect, the remains of the saint codenamed "Thaumiel-01" in the rebel organization, and why Yang Yun was able to come to the God Space... But in the end, he still didn't say anything, and just nodded silently and replied, "I understand."

"Well, before that, I think you should have someone to see and something to say."

As he spoke, Yang Yun turned to the side and revealed the only member of the North Ice Continent team who had followed him through the teleportation screen. It was Chu Hao, who had a complicated relationship with Ling Xin, the captain of the Heavenly God Team. The moment their eyes met, an extremely subtle atmosphere immediately filled the space between them.

That one glance felt like an eternity.

"Chu Hao..."

“Lingxin…”

"Alright, everyone else doesn't need to stay here. Go do what you're supposed to do."

Just days after their life-or-death battle, the two, who should never have met again, gazed deeply into each other's eyes. It seemed like a melodramatic scene was about to unfold when Yang Yun's voice suddenly broke the atmosphere in the main square of the Celestial Team: "Whether you go back to your room or find somewhere else to stay, don't get in the way here."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Niaoren, who had been feeling extremely uneasy, dashed to his room, leading the rest of the Celestial Team to breathe a sigh of relief. They all returned to their rooms as quickly as possible, not daring to look at the main God Square again...

What a joke! Even if the melon smells delicious, you still need to be alive to eat it. It seems I escaped with my life today, but if I dared to stay here any longer, I'd probably be skinned alive by the captain, if not dead...

"Wait, miss..."

But as the other members of the Celestial Team returned to their rooms and closed their doors, Tianyi, with the shortest legs, was the last to leave. However, just as this mental controller of the Celestial Team grasped the doorknob, about to return to her room, Yang Yun's words drifted from behind her—

"Have we met somewhere before?" (End of Chapter)
