“My original plan was for you to retrieve the Divine Fire in the Heavenly Book World, and then use the Canghai Academy's teleportation array to directly enter your 'real world,' but Mu Yan…”

"What's up with her?"

“Three hundred years, that’s too long,” Lin Yueyan said softly. “She was maneuvering between me and the Heavenly Court, trying to delay her ascension, but she was eventually discovered.”

Xu Ze gripped the mouse tightly, feeling a fire rising within him:

"And now?"

"Don't worry," Lin Yueyan said. "I've used the Heavenly Book's last trump card to temporarily seal time, so she won't be in any danger."

She looked at Xu Ze, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"But you must also hurry. If you enter the 'lower realm' again, remember not to go to the Central Continent. You must reach the 'Ascension Realm' in this last bit of time."

After listening, Xu Ze fell silent.

This fourth instance seems to have become the key to victory or defeat, so crucial.

This seemingly limitless "do it again" doesn't actually offer as much room for error as one might imagine.

Did he break free from the shackles of fate, or is he still following the same old path?

Both on and off screen remained silent.

After a long silence, Lin Yueyan suddenly spoke:

"Actually, I have already calculated a way to win by analyzing the thirty-six stars in the star chart."

Xu Ze raised his head, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes:

"What method?"

Lin Yueyan did not answer directly, but instead asked:

"Senior brother, how many of your magical treasures have you retrieved?"

Xu Ze was slightly taken aback, then began to read through the items on the system interface one by one:

"Immortal Concealment Talisman, Small Green Bottle, Flame-Slaying Sword, three fragments of the Primordial Cauldron, one page of the Heavenly Book..."

"Not enough," Lin Yueyan shook her head. "It's far from enough."

She raised her hand, her fingertips tracing lines in the air.

A faint starlight emerged from the star map, coalescing into a blurry image before her.

It was a vast wasteland, the sky was as dark as lead, and the earth was cracked like a net.

Countless monsters ran and fought across the wasteland, their blood staining every inch of the land.

In the deepest part of the wasteland, a black mountain peak pierces the sky, and at its summit, a faint light shimmers.

"This is the Savage Demon Realm," Lin Yueyan said. "This is your next destination."

Xu Ze stared at the image.

What's there?

"The remaining fragments of the Primordial Cauldron you have, and..."

Lin Yueyan paused.

"And her too."

In the scene, a figure slowly emerges.

It was a woman, clad in fiery red armor, holding a long spear, standing proudly atop the black mountain peak.

She was surrounded by blazing flames, which resonated faintly with the Primordial Divine Fire within Xu Ze's body.

Xu Ze's pupils contracted slightly. This woman had called him this morning.

"Su Yunshang?"

“It’s her.” Lin Yueyan nodded. “She is the ‘Dragon Blood Holy Body’ you’ve always heard about. She is regarded as an empress in the Dragon Clan and is titled ‘Jinghong’.”

“In your last reincarnation, you ‘killed an emperor to prove your Dao,’ causing countless demons to bow down in submission. But this time, you cannot do that. You must use other means and methods.”

Xu Ze took a deep breath and nodded thoughtfully:

"I understand."

Lin Yueyan looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Senior brother, you must win this time!"

Xu Ze did not answer.

He simply watched the scene quietly, watching the figure surrounded by flames.

Currently, I have accumulated a large number of [points] and [anchor points], and I must make the most of them in this crucial [Wilderness Demon Realm] dungeon.

Suddenly, the image distorted.

Lin Yueyan's expression changed slightly.

"Time's up," she said urgently. "They're about to find out..."

Before he could finish speaking, another figure appeared on the screen.

It was a woman, dressed in a long, dark gold dress, with an unparalleled face and an elegant demeanor.

She appeared out of nowhere, standing beside Lin Yueyan, her eyes filled with shock.

Mu Yan.

Xu Ze was stunned.

"This……"

Mu Yan stared wide-eyed at Xu Ze outside the screen and at everything in this "real world," her face filled with disbelief.

"There really is another world?!"

She murmured, her voice tinged with a hint of daze.

Lin Yueyan looked at her, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Do you believe me now?"

Mu Yan did not answer.

She just stared intently at the screen, at the man she longed for day and night.

"Xu Ze..."

Xu Ze looked at her, a thousand words welling up in his heart, but he didn't know where to begin.

In the real world, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Xu Ze instinctively turned his head and subconsciously whispered a warning:

"Who?!"

But when he saw who it was, he was stunned.

It turned out to be the president of Yuntian Group, the woman who had been trying so hard to please him all along, Su Yunshang.

She appeared in the office at some point, standing right behind him, her beautiful eyes quietly fixed on the screen.

"you……"

Xu Ze was about to speak when Su Yunshang raised her hand to interrupt him.

She stepped forward and nodded slightly to the two people on the screen.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Her voice was calm, but beneath that calm lay a complex emotion that was hard to describe.

Mu Yan looked at her, her brows furrowing slightly.

"You are……"

“Su Yunshang,” she said, “or rather, you are more familiar with my other name, Jinghong.”

Lin Yueyan's pupils contracted slightly; she hadn't expected to meet her so soon.

"The Dragon Empress?"

"Exactly."

Su Yunshang smiled slightly, a smile that carried a hint of pride and a hint of bitterness.

"You didn't expect that, did you? I'm also a person of this world."

"However, after I transmigrated, I initially lost my memory. It wasn't until I advanced to the 'Emperor Level,' which is the 'Great Ascension' realm for you human cultivators, that I regained my memory."

Looking at the woman in front of her, dressed in black stockings and a bodycon skirt, exuding intellectual beauty, Mu Yan fell silent.

She stared at Su Yunshang for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"Alright, alright, it was you."

Su Yunshang did not respond to her gaze, but turned to Xu Ze instead.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to cause trouble."

Xu Ze looked at her, his eyes scrutinizing her.

"So what do you want to do?"

This woman helped him a lot.

But since he didn't have the same intimate relationship with Ding Wan and Xiao Bai, he remained wary.

“Cooperation,” Su Yunshang said. “I will cooperate with you.”

She walked to the computer, looked at the two people on the screen, and slowly said:

“I know the situation in the Wild Demon Realm better than you do. It used to be my territory, but it was later requisitioned by the Heavenly Court and turned into a prison.”

She paused, then continued:

"I can tell you about the terrain, the distribution of the monsters, and who the guardian of each level is. Even..."

Su Yunshang looked at Xu Ze, the corners of her lips slightly upturned:
