Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 608 Prototype Lighthouse
"It's alright, this might be an unexpected bonus for me as well."

After speaking, the man stomped his leg on the ground, and a huge eye-shaped pattern unfolded around him. The surrounding light changed constantly, and his body acted like a filter, altering the color of all the light passing through him.

Before Luo Ye could even greet Lin Yilin and Zheng Fan, the money effect flashed in his hand and he grasped the money sword.

The two disappeared from their spot, and then the air boiled, and the originally messy ruins were swept away and turned into a cleaner sunken basin.

Their figures intertwined, Luo Ye's steps were steady, and three bloodstains appeared on the man's face, neck and chest: "High-purity property power, huh."

Turning around, the man's injuries quickly healed as he faced Luo Ye's renewed attack.

But as soon as he recovered, he turned around and was met with the gaping maw of a black earthworm.

rustle……

With a crisp sound, the black earthworm was immediately torn apart, and the man easily freed himself and looked at "Lin Yilin".

"What, you don't really think I'm from the underworld, do you?" Lin Yilin laughed.

The man shook his head: "It's alright, let's all come at him together."

Luo Ye swiftly arrived: "Ten Thousand Slashes!"

The sword light magnified and extended, transforming into a beam of light that fell down. The man suddenly turned around, shifted into a horse stance, lowered his shoulders, and waved his hands.

Boom!
The eye-shaped ripples spread out, and Luo Ye's eyes widened as he watched in shock as the money sword was actually interrupted by the opponent's wave of the hand! The Ten Thousand Slashes had no effect on the opponent!

This is Dadu, which should be the time when the power of gold and wealth shines brightly.

That was... without choosing any fancy abilities, but using some method to convert all the special abilities into pure physical attacks!

Luo Ye quickly saw through the opponent's tactics.

In the battles of the underworld, she had indeed encountered opponents skilled in such tactics, or rather, only highly skilled individuals possessed the confidence to execute and utilize such methods. Those individuals and the man before her seemed to be similar in nature.

Seemingly realizing that Luo Ye had already understood, the man stated expressionlessly, "Physical attacks are always the most efficient and direct means of causing harm. All the myriad changes in the world ultimately aim to cause damage based on fundamental causes. No matter what kind of force it is, as long as it can strike, the result will be the same."

"These words resonate with me deeply!" Luo Ye smiled, and once again conjured a sword of money in his hand.

The man slammed his fist into the ground, causing eye-shaped patterns to spread, followed by a series of explosions.

Lin Yilin and Luo Ye emerged from the series of explosions in an instant, and the battle between the three broke through most of the conventional limitations, even blurring the boundaries of Lumière Street.

This state might be called "metaphysics".

The top-level state after transcending real physics in an instant does not involve an improvement in strength. Rather, it is a natural departure from reality after reaching a certain level, with behavior still maintaining a normal physical appearance.

Any fancy or fancy thing can be touched by a direct physical blow under the influence of superphysics.

This is the essence of simplifying complexity, or as the saying goes... the greatest truths are the simplest.

The man's body exploded into pieces in an instant. With this body, he could have easily defeated either Lin Yilin or Luo Ye by "lasting a few more seconds." Now, facing two opponents at once, the outcome was even more clear.

It's more accurate to say that the fact that it didn't turn to ash within five seconds already shows how skilled the wholesaler was.

Even with half his face blown off, one of his eyes still shone brightly, quickly tracking the movements of "Lin Yilin" and Luo Ye.

Even in this state beyond the realm of physics, the two of them cooperated seamlessly.

As far as it knew, these two shouldn't have cooperated much in combat. For an independent powerhouse to reach this level and still possess such exceptional teamwork with individuals other than themselves was already an inconceivable feat.

But Lin Yilin and Luo Ye were able to do it.

If there had been even the slightest conflict in their movements or strength, the wholesaler could have manipulated the situation to make things a little better, but neither of them gave him that opportunity.

Although Luo Ye had a brief possession with Zheng Fan before and had no further contact with him, being possessed by Zheng Fan would inevitably bring Luo Ye a certain degree of enhancement. Luo Ye is now even more dangerous than when he was initially marked as a dangerous target by the Black Reality.

As for Zheng Fan, his strength as a wholesaler had already been demonstrated, so it was nothing to be surprised about. It was just through this encounter that it understood that Zheng Fan had indeed accepted the return of the "soil".

Furthermore, the fundamental state of Zheng Fan is becoming increasingly closer to the original source.

Having gained a basic understanding of the two points above, this trip wasn't entirely fruitless... Sizzle!

Luo Ye's sword once again damaged the man's arm, which had just recovered. The shockwave from "Lin Yilin" unknowingly spread along Luo Ye's sword to the man's body.

The man tensed up, and eye-shaped patterns appeared on his body, but none of them could stop the subsequent damage from the shockwave.

Finally, the shockwave extended to his head and exploded again, instantly pulling the man out of his super-physical state.

"Very good, Zheng Fan. Although I don't know the purpose of your birth... your current state might be simpler, more convenient, and more focused on the root cause than we thought... Although they are all discussing eliminating you, this unstable factor, I believe that a two-pronged approach is the right way. However, at some point in the future, you will have to abandon everything in this reality..."

Hearing the wholesaler's last words in a super-physical state, Zheng Fan didn't hesitate for a moment, using Lin Yilin's body to strike in sync with Luo Ye.

The black earthworm slithered past, pouring out a violent black tremor along Zheng Fan's hand.

Luo Ye spends money like water, and the brilliance of gold shatters time and space.

The wholesaler's body instantly turned to ashes, leaving behind only a few scattered fragments.

Lin Yilin and Luo Ye quickly stopped, their faces neither flushed nor out of breath, showing no signs of having just fought a major battle under special circumstances.

“切，说着这么厉害，结果也不怎么抗揍啊。”洛业咂舌后反倒是不爽快了，“你其实都不用出手的，让我爽不就是了？”

“Hey, no.” Lin Yilin rolled her eyes, indicating her refusal.

"Tsk."

Luo Ye stopped arguing with Zheng Fan about it, as it would only make him unhappy. Instead, he looked at the black and white movement in the sky not far away: "Is that also your host? It's quite capable. Although it's not obvious in the capital, it has the powerful aura of having an entire world as its backing."

"Hmm!" Lin Yilin immediately showed a proud expression.

To be honest, Luo Ye quite liked the cute little expressions Lin Yilin could make.

But the thought that Zheng Fan was doing this while using Lin Yilin's body made him even more unhappy, twice as unhappy.

Zheng Fan got off Lin Yilin, and Lin Yilin nodded to Luo Ye: "Sister Ye".

"Yilin, you've become more and more humane by spending time with Zheng Fan," Luo Ye teased.

"Yeah, if Sister Ye had told me earlier that she had a boyfriend when she was eight, I probably would have become curious much earlier." Binary Girl suddenly started being sarcastic.

Luo Ye immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Ahem, after all, I was only eight years old. I wasn't mature enough, and I was prone to doing silly things..."

Her eyes searched for Zheng Fan for help, but Zheng Fan had already vanished in a flash.

Damn it! That bastard!
As they were talking, a strange sound suddenly came from a distance, and Luo Ye and Lin Yilin immediately turned their gaze to the prototype lighthouse standing in the distance.

The prototype lighthouse, whose interior had long been demolished and transformed into a surface building and a pure white lighthouse activity area, suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light at its top, and grew brighter and brighter.

"A bunch of strange things have appeared all at once, they finally couldn't sit still anymore," Luo Ye said with a smile, not at all surprised.

"Sister Ye, what is that?"

Luo Ye didn't answer directly, but instead told a long-ago story: "Long ago, the birth of a Lamplighter was extremely difficult, even finding someone with the Pure White Factor was a challenge. Success was almost always a matter of endless trial and error, with only a small chance of success. The number of Lamplighters was incredibly small, and there were even periods of darkness when there were no Lamplighters at all. Until one Lamplighter, nearing the end of his life, sacrificed himself to protect another unawakened Pure White Factor, which inadvertently ignited the Pure White Factor and awakened it."

"After discovering this, the capital city began researching it. Could the Lamplighter help the Pure White Factor awaken? The reality seemed more complex; simple white illumination didn't help. At the time, the Black World was launching a major invasion of the capital, and time was of the essence, but the research progress was not promising. Then, the young Lamplighter who had awakened under the protection of the previous Lamplighter stepped forward. He proposed the concept of 'Lighthouse' and, through continuous optimization, successfully built the first Lighthouse. But a problem arose: a container that could theoretically amplify the power of the Pure White Factor and promote its awakening, and also allow it to continue burning for a long time even after leaving the human body, had appeared. But how could this initial Lighthouse be lit?"

This is an obvious problem.

"That lamplighter walked towards the lighthouse at the peak of his life, becoming the original light source of the original lighthouse, which led to the birth of a large number of lamplighters at once, thus ushering in a new era for the capital. That group of lamplighters was called the 'Generation of Light Sources', and the current 'Immortal Lighthouse' Eliadosca was one of them."

Luo Ye looked at the lighthouse, which was gradually emitting a gentle yet dazzling light, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, just like a giant beast that was awakening.

"As for the 'light source' itself, it is said that it did not die completely, not even until the prototype lighthouse went out... It remained asleep in the prototype lighthouse, becoming a symbol of the capital and the white world, quietly watching over the city."

"If there is a need in the capital, it will be awakened, and its light will shine upon the capital once more."
