I am a female swordsman.

To ordinary people, it was thunder, dark clouds, and a raging wind!

But in the Yellow Springs, those are all Liang Yue's swords.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Liang Yue's imagination ran wild, filled with a sense of superiority and ambition regarding her sword. While other swordsmen were still focused on fighting and confined to their weapons, Liang Yue was already contemplating whether her sword could become a part of nature, transforming anything she could casually pick up into a sword!

boom!!

The lightning sword crashed down with a thunderous roar. The bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, spread from the ink-black clouds in the sky like the roots of a plant, heading straight for the Yellow Springs on the earth!

Anyone who dares to unleash other sword intents within the sword domain will be annihilated with lightning speed!

'so close! '

The moment the lightning coalesced, alarm bells rang wildly in Huang Quan's heart. This unconscious counterattack from the sword domain forced Huang Quan to retract her sword intent to avoid annihilation. She moved at high speed across this open area like an arrow released from a bow.

Even the fiercest winds couldn't stop its relentless speed!

'Just as I suspected, the Sword Domain's unconscious counterattack stemmed from a disturbance to my sword intent. If I completely withdraw my sword intent, the Sword Domain will have no target. However, if I don't maintain my sword intent within the Sword Domain, I won't be able to see the true situation, and like the first time, I won't even know how I died!'

The lightning struck the earth, but instead of causing the devastation expected in nature, it completely disappeared into the ground. Like mercury dripping back into a pool of mercury, it didn't even cause a ripple.

It seems to be just a harmless illusion.

However, Huang Quan was very clear that the immense sword intent contained within the thunder was enough to destroy her at her peak a dozen times over.

It's been a long time!

The thrill of struggling on the brink of death! Even as a thought form, Huang Quan continues to struggle just like his original self. Respect to all warriors who dare to challenge fate and death!

Perhaps it was Huang Quan's reaction that made the Sword Domain realize that this intruder was no ordinary person. Before Huang Quan could rejoice for long, the swirling black clouds above her head suddenly became exceptionally bright. It was a purple glow from the inside out, a pool of lightning that illuminated even the thick clouds, because it contained so much thunder!

My heart skipped a beat!

Huang Quan stopped her speeding journey, her face filled with complex emotions as she looked up at the Thunder Pool above her, which seemed poised to fall at any moment. She was speechless at the power of the [Divine Sword].

'Think! Is there any other way to get through this...? If not... then think carefully. It must be that the precision of the sword intent's release and release wasn't controlled well, which led to such a terrifying pursuit.' The unstable sword intent was simply too conspicuous in this unimaginably orderly sword domain.

Let's use this death as an example!

The resounding sword intent, which had not yet fully subsided, erupted from his body! Its unyielding spirit declared war on the sky!

The next moment, a torrent of lightning crashed down like a waterfall!

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Sword Domain, a refined-looking man who had been dozing off stirred, but did not open his eyes and remained asleep. However, from his somewhat helpless expression, it was clear that he had not fallen asleep.

Chapter Fourteen: Forging True Gold in the Flames

"Grass!!"

Regaining her senses from the deathly silence, Huang Quan cursed in agony. The pain of being baptized by the lightning was far beyond what ordinary people could endure. In that instant, every inch of her skin and nerves was enveloped in intense burning agony. The death of a thought entity must be extremely gruesome; Huang Quan could roughly imagine the horrific sight of its body turning into a charred corpse in an instant.

His entire body was twitching unnaturally.

The lingering pain did not gradually fade with time; on the contrary, as the memories of the underworld deepened, similar burning marks appeared on the body.

Although these marks quickly faded, Huang Quan realized that even if the injuries to the thought body wouldn't be brought back, if she kept believing that she had really suffered such injuries, she might end up hurting herself.

You must clearly distinguish between the state of your thought body and your physical body, otherwise you might get confused and end up being driven to your death by your own consciousness!

I endured the excruciating pain of having my flesh torn out!

'What's going on this time...?'

While enduring the pain, Huang Quan had a slightly different feeling. How to put it... although the lingering pain in her body continued to torment her, her mental will was not as severely depleted as it had been the previous two times, to the point that she had to recuperate through a death-like slumber.

What's the situation?

Does physical injury somehow lessen the emotional damage?

As Huang Quan pondered the intensifying pain he was experiencing, his thoughts became fragmented and disjointed. The images flashing through his mind were details from his third struggle within the sword domain. Thinking about these details amidst the burning and stinging sensation throughout his body, the excruciating pain gradually subsided.

However, Huang Quan, who was already deep in thought, did not notice.

'It was that bolt of lightning!'

It was as if a lightning sword flashed through her mind, and an image emerged from the many fragments: at the last moment, when facing the torrent of lightning, she relied on her unyielding grit to drive her piercing sword intent toward the lightning pool!

Huang Quan seemed to have grasped something obscure!

It is about the mastery of sword intent!

However, she couldn't clearly articulate what she had grasped. This stifling and resentful feeling made Huang Quan suddenly stand up. She paced back and forth, her fingers tapping unconsciously. Huang Quan seemed to be in a trance; at this moment, she resembled a swordsman obsessed with his sword.

"No, I have to go again!"

Since the mental strain is minimal, minor physical burns will heal Huang Quan in no time. As long as he can manage, the more the better.

………………

The fourth time, Huang Quan entered the Sword Domain, calmed her mind, and slightly aroused her own sword intent. She was immediately ravaged by thunder, gale, and heavenly fire.

Death loomed, and there was no way to escape! Unable to withstand multiple attacks, Huang Quan lost his life in the sword domain, just like before.

………………

In the consciousness space, after the death of her thought entity, Huang Quan found that her energy expenditure had returned to normal! Almost without pausing, Huang Quan rushed into the sword domain again! It was as if this sword domain, which could easily take her life, hid some peerless treasure waiting for her to discover!

………………

For the tenth time, facing the raging heavenly fire, Huang Quan drew his sword for the first time within Liang Yue's sword domain, fearlessly slashing at the invincible heavenly fire.

Amidst the raging flames, Huang Quan smiled, sword raised. "Even if the one who wants to kill me is incredibly powerful, he can never break my resolve to draw my sword. My sword intent is beyond question!"

The thought then died!

………………

Returning to her original form, having faced death seven times in a row at her limit, the immense mental pressure that had accumulated finally reached its breaking point for Huang Quan. She needed a good night's sleep to heal her emotional wounds through deep rest. She had found a way to die in the Sword Domain for an extended period while quickly returning to it.

The method was obtained through ten deaths.

With no one to offer help, she endured death time and again, exploring the completely unknown methods with unimaginable perseverance. Huang Quan's performance could only be described as outstanding, and the system, having witnessed her rapid growth firsthand, felt a mixture of worry and relief.

The host, Huang Quan, is still unaware of the agreements made in higher dimensions.

The Great Thousand Worlds, that absolutely impartial sphere of light, shows no mercy. If the transformation fails to occur when the time limit is reached, it will be forced to hand over the host to the Great Thousand Worlds under pressure.

The struggles in higher dimensions are invisible yet utterly brutal. To place your hopes on others, or to pin your hopes on your opponent's foolish mistakes, is tantamount to suicide. Before the deadline arrives, strive with all your might to grow stronger, and face the vast universe—a universe that even countless higher-dimensional beings tremble before—with an infinite future of possibilities.

How powerful is [Da Qian]?

The system was unaware that even its predecessor, an existence that had participated in the high-dimensional war zone death battle, was easily crushed by [Da Qian].

As one of the fragments, the system remained active in the leisure area afterward.

In the war zone, who is unaware of the fearsome reputation of [Daqian]? There are very few who can contend with the original time-traveling monster. Even the civilization that recently experienced a leap in the timeline, the Multidimensional Republic, may not necessarily be able to defeat [Daqian] in all timelines.

Transformation! We must complete this transformation!!

The pressure on the system is far heavier than that on Huang Quan. Sometimes, the more you know, the more powerless you feel. Of course, the system will eventually reveal this pressure to Huang Quan, letting her know the cruelty of higher dimensions. Although the multidimensional world seems infinitely vast, the number of worlds capable of giving birth to infinite possibilities is gradually decreasing.

The world is becoming homogenized and reduced in dimensionality.

The living environment for time-traveling monsters has begun to deteriorate. Although there are dreamers like Huang Quan who are boldly opening up new chapters, the number of time-traveling monsters is increasing while the number of infinitely possible worlds is decreasing!

In order to survive, some things can be compromised.

But some things cannot be compromised, even at the cost of death. As one of the largest fragments of its predecessor, the system inherited its predecessor's tenacity—a tenacity that would never be abandoned, even in the face of death. While resting in the underworld, the system had already begun meticulously selecting the new world after the transitional world.

Although this world is a transitional one, there's still a lot to discover if you delve deeper...

However, the system had explored the world of "Divine Comedy" too deeply, leaving a considerable shadow over it. It truly had no intention of delving further into this world; it would let things take their natural course.

Chapter Fifteen: The Essence of Humanity

"Mitis, get this document ready for me!"

"Ok!"

After a while.

"Mitis, where's yesterday's plan?" "Okay, here you go right away."... "Mitis, where's the document I asked you to work on?" "Soon!"... "The quantities on the report don't match the actual quantities?" "Wait, let me see."... "Mitis, Master Agamemnon is looking for you." "I'll be right there!"

High-intensity work and being bossed around are very unpleasant experiences.

I feel terrible!!!

Midis was almost exhausted. Before Monday, these damned colleagues were like they were on stimulants, dumping all sorts of work on her, the office worker in the management office. Logically speaking, shouldn't she be very relaxed as an office worker? Why does everyone have to bother her?

He slumped in the chair like a salted fish.

Midis was exhausted. If her resentment could be turned into a killing sword, she could probably happily slaughter everyone in the company right now! Fortunately, it was almost time to leave work. As long as she could get through this most difficult half hour, she would be free on Monday!

I wonder how Xiao Huangquan is doing...

"Mitis, this document should be ready by today, right?" Suddenly, a smiling red-haired woman appeared behind Mitis, her tone unusually gentle, holding a thick stack of documents in her hands.

Undoubtedly, at this moment, Natalia was no different from a demon in Mitis's eyes.

"Wait, wait... Supervisor, I want to leave work..."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mytis!"

Natalia winked mischievously, and the pure and lovely red-haired girl, who was like an angel, suddenly reached out and gently brushed the silver-white hair behind Midis's ear.

"Master! Supervisor!" Midis was at a loss when suddenly harassed by her supervisor.

"Eek~~ And how many times have I told you, call me Natalia when it's just you and me~~" The warm breath from her red lips flushed Mitis's face, and she dazedly nodded or shook her head. Natalia looked at the adorable creature and couldn't help but let out a crisp, bell-like laugh, then picked up her bag and strode away.

Natalia, head of the management department at Kanina Bread Company.

She is gentle, generous, kind, and lovely, with an angelic smile always on her face. However… this is just a facade Natalia uses to deceive others; the real Natalia is a severely corrupted, madwoman. Hair is a taboo subject for Natalia, and apart from that, she seems to have an extraordinary… fondness for silver hair and red eyes.

Midis didn't want to mess with her!

Overtime, overtime! Today is another day of overtime. Midis looked unusually dejected, but for a fleeting moment, all her dejection and dissatisfaction vanished, replaced by composure and calm. A person's temperament may seem mysterious, but the elegance revealed in their every gesture, posture, and movement is undeniably real.

At this moment, Mitis's aura was extremely obscure, like a mountain shrouded in mist, inspiring awe while simultaneously demanding caution.

"This world must be at peace."
