After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

The place where the sky meets the lake.

Shi Yan felt his heart start racing inexplicably after stepping into the "Great Void Secret Realm".

Clutching the [Sword Guide] that led her away, and holding Feng Manlou in her arms, she cautiously made her way deeper into the "Tai Xu Secret Realm".

Weird.

As a place where demons are forbidden, this place is far too beautiful and peaceful.

Shi Yan looked up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds.

Faintly visible... a dark chain can already be seen connecting the lake and the sky.

She quickened her pace.

Then--

More and more... more and more.

Countless dark chains connect the lake to the sky.

Each chain is imbued with negative emotions such as hatred, fear, and despair.

Shi Yan only tentatively touched it with his divine sense, and he felt as if he had lost a bit of his 'soul'.

Life has lost its light.

And ahead... these chains are getting denser and denser.

This also means that Shi Yan is getting closer and closer to her destination.

Suddenly... after bending down sideways to get around a slanted, dark chain, and then raising his head...

Suddenly, Shi Yan saw his goal.

Here... the sky and lake are incomparably close.

Shi Yan even felt that if he flew on his sword for just a short while, he could directly touch the dark, cloud-covered sky.

She looked up...

Looking at the end point where those chains converge.

The teacher saw it.

A frail girl with her eyes tightly closed, her shoulders, hands, and ankles easily pierced by dark chains.

Chains converged around her, forming a prison.

She was hung upside down in the sky.

The master finally understood.

The perspective I saw in my dream was probably from the girl's point of view.

That's why there's a sky as clear and bright as a mirror-like lake, and why there's an earth covered in dark clouds like the bottom of a lake.

In reality... everything is reversed.

Stopping in his tracks, Shi Yan cautiously examined the girl who was bound and pierced by countless dark chains, hanging upside down in the air.

After all... this is the "Tai Xu Secret Realm".

Shi Yan felt that he should be more careful.

But... looking at the girl's furrowed brows, she could almost feel the girl's helplessness.

The stark contrast between the fair-skinned, slender girl's body and the thick, dark chains created a powerful impression.

The girl's pitiful and pathetic state would move even Shi Yan.

Especially when you think about these chains... each chain is imbued with despair and resentment that would drive an ordinary person to the brink of collapse.

Shi Yan already felt terrible just from touching her with his divine sense, so what kind of torment would a girl who was bound by countless chains, or even had her body pierced through, suffer?

I dare not even think of what my teacher said.

She couldn't even quite understand it.

What kind of crime did that girl commit to deserve such extreme punishment and being locked up here?

unless...

Shi Yan looked up at her.

It was as if they sensed the arrival of their master.

The girl slightly opened her tightly closed eyes.

His heterochromatic golden-red eyes were filled with helplessness and pity.

unless...

She is that otherworldly demon.

"The teacher said..."

"Help me—"

Her lips didn't move, but the girl's weak voice seeped into Shi Yan's heart.

Its heterochromatic golden-red eyes gazed upwards.

In Shi Yan's view, it seemed as if they were looking down on him.

As a created world, it is a secret realm used to imprison demons.

The rules within the "Tai Xu Secret Realm" are not entirely the same as those in the outside world.

The teacher hesitated.

Unlike in a game, you can't open other people's character attribute panels and directly view their career history.

Shi Yan had no idea whether the other party was good or bad.

Is it good or evil?

Moreover... judging from the current situation.

To be chained to the center by so many chains, even to have her ankles, hands, and collarbone bound in such a brutal way...

The most likely possibility—

She is that otherworldly demon.

"Help...help me..." came the almost mournful voice.

Accompanied by the trembling of the dark chains.

The black, turbid liquid, visible to the naked eye, seemed to be falling due to 'gravity,' climbing up the chains little by little into the cloudy sky, and was finally injected into the girl's body.

She could still show a struggling expression on her face.

But her eyes seemed to have given up struggling.

There's a kind of emptiness that's almost numb.

Hearing the faint trembling of the dark chains and watching the girl struggle, Shi Yan felt a pang of pity.

She blindfolded Feng Manlou.

Shi Yan knew what that black, turbid liquid was.

That was an intense negative emotion that was almost tangible in this space.

despair.

hatred.

sad.

anger.

Countless negative emotions, of unknown origin, traveled along the chains, gradually turning the girl into a jet-black color.

"Who are you?" Holding Feng Manlou, Shi Yan flew towards the dark clouds and asked honestly.

She deftly bypassed the chains.

Walk among the dark chains, avoiding being tainted by the black emotions attached to them.

The teacher said he was prepared to keep a certain distance from the girls.

But... when she flew across the exact distance between the sky and the earth, she clearly felt the gravity suddenly reverse.

Shi Yan stumbled and nearly bumped into a dark chain.

Fortunately, Feng Manlou in his arms quickly blew a big breath toward the sky... no, it should be the muddy ground at the bottom of the lake, which barely managed to steady Shi Yan's body.

However... the gravity of this created world is quite realistic.

Her skirt fluttered, exposing the girl's slender, snow-white legs to the air.

Shi Yan quickly adjusted his posture.

Slowly, she flipped herself upside down in the air and looked down at the girl looking up at her.

A touching blush suddenly appeared on the girl's face.

Her pale face flushed crimson, making her look exceptionally alluring and adding a touch of vitality to the girl.

The two people looked at each other.

Speechless and choked with emotion.

Shi Yan simply straightened her skirt silently.

In a prison constructed of countless dark chains.

Even with chains piercing her shoulders, and it looked like any movement would be excruciating, the girl still tilted her head.

Ignore Shi Yan's actions of adjusting her skirt.

Because of the girl's shyness, Shi Yan lowered his guard a little.
