He has been reincarnated through countless worlds, adorned with billions of mythological terms!

The instant the nine rushing figures made contact with the light—

stopped.

It's as if time has been paused.

Then, they began to dissipate.

Starting from the fingertips, from the very tip, like dandelions scattered by the wind, they gradually transform into tiny specks of light—warm golden, pure, and without any impurities.

Fingers dissipated into specks of light, palms dissipated into specks of light, arms dissipated into specks of light, shoulders, chest, head... the entire body, from the outside to the inside, from the extremities to the core, peeled away layer by layer into countless specks of light flying everywhere.

Like autumn leaves pierced by sunlight, like fireflies dancing in the night sky in summer, like countless tiny rays of light refracted by sunlight through the mist after the first rain in spring.

There were no screams, no wails, no sound at all.

They didn't even have time to feel the pain before they turned into light.

The second hunter opened its mouth:

"you……"

He didn't finish speaking.

It also turned into light.

The third, the fourth, the fifth... all nine figures transformed into warm golden specks of light in less than three seconds, slowly dissipating in the night breeze.

There was no blood, no corpse, and no filth left behind.

Only streaks of brilliant golden light disappeared into the air.

Yun Yi withdrew his right hand.

The point of light hovered around him for a few seconds, as if reluctant to leave, before gradually drifting away into the night sky, towards the half-moon, and finally disappearing into the boundless darkness.

The garden returned to quiet.

In the distance, another truck drove by at night on the highway, its headlights sweeping across the horizon.

"Let's go."

Yun Yi turned around and looked at his two older sisters behind him.

Yun Jin held Yun Yao and stood motionless.

She simply looked at Yun Yi—at his golden eyes, at the warm golden light surrounding him, and at his bare feet standing unharmed on the gravel ground.

"sister."

Yun Yi called out.

Yun Jin finally came to her senses.

She looked down at Yun Yao in her arms—she had fallen asleep sometime earlier, her little face buried in her sister's shoulder, breathing evenly, with a trace of drool at the corner of her mouth.

Perhaps she had fallen asleep before Yun Yi made his move, or perhaps some force had swayed her into a peaceful sleep when that warm golden light shone.

In short, she saw nothing.

That would be best.

"Let's go back."

Yun Jin nodded, her voice a little hoarse but her tone still steady, "You...don't you need to deal with these ordinary people?"

"Did they...see everything?"

"No need, they'll forget everything."

Done.

Yunyi turned his head to look behind the flower bed.

Those ordinary people who had been reformed and restored were still standing there: some looked around blankly, some squatted on the ground holding their heads, and some sobbed softly.

The middle-aged man in the plaid shirt had already stood up, but his legs were still trembling, and he was holding tightly to a lamppost to keep from falling.

An elderly woman in floral pajamas sat on the floor, her hands clasped together, her lips moving as if she were chanting something.

"You can leave now."

Yun Yi's voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

The middle-aged man in the plaid shirt was the first to react, loosening his grip on the lamppost and staggering toward the garden exit.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Yun Yi—under the streetlight, the barefoot child standing on the gravel was surrounded by a faint warm golden halo; the moon-white divine robe fluttered gently in the night wind, and the patterns of newly sprouted buds on the hem shimmered in the moonlight.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth as if to say something, but instead bent down and bowed deeply.

Then he turned around and staggered away.

The others also stood up one after another, supporting each other as they walked toward the garden exit.

About two minutes later, the garden returned to its usual quiet.

The only sounds were the wind rustling through the leaves and the occasional car passing by on the distant highway.

Yun Yi stared in the direction the ordinary people had gone and remained silent for a moment.

Then he turned and walked towards the villa.

Yun Jin followed behind, carrying the sleeping Yun Yao in her arms.

After walking a few steps, Yun Yi suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Yun Jin asked.

Yun Yi remained silent.

He stood there, his gaze passing through the garden wall, across the low buildings in the distance, and into the deeper night sky.

There was nothing in the night sky.

The clouds moved slowly, the moonlight appeared and disappeared intermittently, and a few dim stars twinkled through the gaps in the clouds.

Everything seems normal.

But something's not right.

That feeling started a few seconds ago.

It felt like something was rapidly approaching.

From the sky.

Yun Yi raised his head.

Our gaze transcends the clouds, the atmosphere, and all barriers, both visible and invisible—

Then he saw it.

Three points of light.

It fell vertically from the highest point of the sky, leaving three thin trails that drew three straight white lines in the atmosphere.

It wasn't a shooting star.

It's not a meteorite.

The trail was so precise that every white line remained perfectly straight without the slightest deviation.

A burst of golden light exploded in Yun Yi's eyes. Xi Sheng Yuan Tong's vision was pushed to its limit, his gaze piercing through the clouds and atmosphere, revealing the true nature of those points of light—

Metal casing.

Streamlined projectile body.

Three tail fins.

Nuclear warheads.

Three.

It is falling into this area at supersonic speed.

Yun Yi's brain completed all the calculations in a fraction of a second: ballistic trajectory, impact coordinates, blast radius, shock wave radius, and radiation coverage area.

The landing point—was right beneath his feet.

Three nuclear bombs were detonated simultaneously within a radius of three kilometers, with enough yield to cover the entire city.

Radioactive dust will cover several cities within hours, and millions of civilians will die from radiation sickness, cancer, and genetic mutations in the coming years or even decades.

Yun Yi's pupils became extremely faint at that moment, so faint that they were almost entirely covered by a gilded background.

who is it?

Are they the hunters?

Or is he one of the other five authorized users, just like him?

do not know.

But he knew that at that moment—the real killing move was hanging over his head.

It seems that as long as it's a modern world, it's ultimately destined to be hit by a nuclear bomb.

Yun Yi closed his eyes briefly.

Then open your eyes.

"sister."

His voice was so calm, unlike that of someone about to face a nuclear explosion. "Go inside. Don't look back, don't stop, and don't look at anything you hear."

"Take Sister Yao back to the basement and lock the door."

Yun Jin opened her mouth, as if to say something.

But after seeing Yun Yi's expression, she swallowed all her words.

She picked up Yun Yao, turned around, and walked towards the villa.

They walked very fast.

She didn't know what had happened—but she didn't want to distract her brother.

Yun Yi stood still and watched her walk into the villa.

The moment the door closed, he turned around, looked up, and gazed at the three approaching points of light in the sky.

The trails grew longer and longer, the points of light grew brighter and brighter, like three falling meteors, dragging their death tails as they hurtled toward the earth.

Distance: 120 kilometers.

Speed: Mach 15.

Time remaining: Approximately 23 seconds.
