The Behind-the-Scenes God About to Reappear

"Jingming, Zanzhu, Meichong, Qucha, Wuchu, Chengguang."

"Dadun, Xingjian, Taichong, Zhongfeng, Ligou, Zhongdu."

"Tongziliao, Tinghui, Shangguan, Jianyan, Xuanshou, Xuanli."

"Extreme Spring, Azure Spirit, Lesser Sea, Spiritual Path, Connecting Path"

"Shangyang, Erjian, Sanjian, Hegu, Yangxi, Pianli, Wenliu."

Huang Rong counted the acupoints through which the energy Li Lin had taught them traveled in her body. The acupoints through which the energy, which seemed to have existed since ancient times and was vast and boundless, all pulsed with light and transformed into silver specks the size of rice grains.

For a moment, her body Dotty like a sky full of stars, these stars echoing each other, and the feeling of secondary development of her meridians during the awakening of the Curse Technique flowed through her whole body.

New stars begin to shine.

My mind and spirit began to be captivated by it, and my consciousness soared high, as if it had transformed into an endless starry sky.

Until I heard a voice say, "Wake up."

When Huang Rong opened her eyes, the whole world seemed different.

The familiar Peach Blossom Island seemed to have transformed into another world. Not only were the layers and richness of colors multiplied, but the most captivating aspect was that at a glance, one could almost grasp the myriad forms of each petal fluttering in the gentle breeze of the morning light.

What's even more amazing is that even though she didn't exert any effort, her body floated lightly in mid-air, and her location would change with the slightest thought.

Using the technique of internal vision, the body, which was once like a small puddle, is now a bottomless abyss. Every acupoint and meridian has been transformed into a treasure with unlimited potential for development.

She had a feeling that even using just a fraction of the power she used to extinguish candlelight, with the added strength of her transformed acupoints, meridians, muscles, bones, and flesh, could reverse the waterfall and change the course of rivers.

The most amazing thing is that even though she already possesses strength a thousand times greater than before, this power to move mountains and lift cauldrons is still obediently confined within her small body. As her body moves, the clothes that should have been torn open remain perfectly intact on her body.

She seemed to possess an intuition, knowing without reason how much effort she needed to maintain in order to live as usual in this world that was now as fragile as glass to her, without expending any Mental Power, simply by following her instincts.

She looked at Yu Yan, who was also hanging in mid-air with her eyes open. The two looked at each other and instantly realized that they had both undergone the same earth-shattering changes.

"Now you can," Li Lin said. "By the way, only you know that my original name was Li Lin; they all called me Basil Granger."

"Basil Granger," Wang Yuyan called out the name, her pronunciation perfect.

They were not only physically modified, but their minds were also taught the most profound and mysterious martial arts knowledge, including language and customs.

A golden and white shadow flashed by, Huang Rong's lips lightly touched Li Lin's lips before leaving. She lowered her eyes and tugged at the gold ribbon that tied her hair. "I like this. Being so bold with someone you like."

"Rong'er, you—" Although Wang Yuyan verbally reprimanded Huang Rong for being too bold, she herself left a blur and appeared on Li Lin's body, burying his arm in her softness.

After a brief moment of tenderness.

Huang Rong walked towards the azure sea at the edge of the island. The sea split in two, revealing a road paved with neat, bluish-gray stone slabs and a stone gate before the three of them.

"How did a door suddenly appear out of nowhere?" Ariana was so startled that she jumped up from the sofa.

Only the old woman dressed in aged clothes, Mei, comforted him, saying, "Perhaps this is related to the new feature [Wizard Space] after the guild's upgrade."

Beatrix put down her makeup mirror and raised an eyebrow. "I don't care about any new features, I only care where the prince is."

"Could it be that he and that damned, hopeless prince!"

As soon as Li Lin opened the door, he found Beatrix throwing herself into his arms.

Huang Rong, standing behind him, wrinkled her nose slightly. After confirming that the Rakshasa ghost in Li Lin had no strange smell, she pushed Wang Yuyan out, saying, "You go first. As the owner of this room, I'll be the last to leave."

Beatrix, who was greedily inhaling the prince's scent, heard an unfamiliar voice, looked up with a sour face, and said, "Are you newcomers? You've already taken my prince as soon as you arrived?"

"Basil," Wang Yuyan, somewhat unaccustomed to calling Li Lin by that name, "Which country are you a prince from?"

"We've known Brother Lin for over a month now," Huang Rong retorted directly.

"Brother?" Ariana's ears turned red. "Call him Bucky or something—"

She thought it was too taboo.

Beatrix scoffed, "That's my nickname for the prince, and Basil is far greater than any so-called prince. He's the headmaster of the great institution of the School of Good and Evil, from which all the heroes and villains in fairy tales come."

"These heroes and villains also established their own kingdoms."

Wang Yuyan seemed to understand but not quite. Her eyes, which seemed to be filled with moisture, looked at Basil. "A term of endearment? Then can I continue to call you Young Master Li?"

Huang Rong wanted to get angry, but seeing Ariana's pitiful little face, she said irritably, "Your customs also include calling someone you like 'brother,' right?"

"That's because Ariana really does have a brother." A voice, slightly childlike yet carrying a hint of arrogance and menacing aura, rang out. Huang Rong looked over and saw a short, blonde girl who seemed much taller due to her imposing presence.

She is indeed very tall now, standing at the top of the high steps.

She swayed down the steps in her high heels, then added, "There are two more."

She extended her hand to Huang Rong, "Hello, I am Madison Montgomery, the first member of the group. You can just call me Madison."

Wang Yuyan, who was standing to the side, asked curiously, "What is your pet name for the young master?"

"A nickname?" Madison rolled her eyes, then turned her head and forced a less offensive smile onto her aggressive face. "Sweetheart, that's what I call her."

Huang Rong could tell that she was trying very hard to be friendly, so she took her hand and said, "Yu Yan is always like this. My name is Huang Rong, you can call me Rong'er."

Yu Yan nodded in agreement. "You can just call me Yu Yan, Madison."

Alas! Eeya!

The two voices coming from above made everyone in the lounge look up.

It is a white, spiral-shaped slide.

Bellatrix, at the very front, is gliding down from above with her right hand outstretched in a Superman flying pose.

Zoe, holding the fairy tale book that Basil had given her, slid down in a normal posture.

But the kinetic energy seemed to have no effect on the two of them. The moment they left the slide, they both hovered in mid-air, adjusted their posture, and floated down.

"Hello, I'm Zoe."

"I am Isabella, you can also call me Bellatrix."

The intelligent and perceptive Wang Yuyan, who had long noticed her friend's reservations about the girl named Bellatrix, spoke on her behalf, saying, "Bellatrix, aren't you like that Victoria?"

"I'm not a vampire," Bellatrix replied directly. "In my original destiny, I should have been, but I'm not now. Are you scared by Victoria?"

"As expected, I knew she still retained the wildness she had as a hunter."

Huang Rong shook her head, "It's not Yu Yan, it's me. When I first saw her, I thought she was a zombie. Plus, I'd never seen anyone with red hair and red eyes before, and her eyes were as red as roses."

"She's showing you a stunt," Madison said knowingly. "Apart from Bellatrix, Alice, and the others who are from the same world as her, she's been with every sweetheart woman."

"In my opinion, it's all in vain. Sweetheart won't distance herself from others because of her childish behavior."

"Just ignore it. Bellatrix was right just now. She's Beast for too long, and when she acts like a human, she does some inappropriate things."

Huang Rong nodded.

"By the way," Madison looked around in confusion, "Where's Sophie? Normally she would have already picked a fight with me."

"I'm studying the upgrade conditions."

Wang Yuyan was horrified to see a short girl with fluffy blonde hair get up from behind the sofa; she seemed to have been crouching behind it, eavesdropping.

"I wasn't eavesdropping," the short girl said again. "I was just curious why the world serial numbers in your background information are all the same, but the number of worlds marked in the guild, or Chat Group, is 6."

"Madison's world, my world, Bellatrix's world, Mei's world, plus your world, there should be 5."

She projected the club's control panel.

"Click the '+' sign in the upper right corner to see the upgrade requirements for a level 4 guild: [Number of official members: 9; Number of linked worlds: 7]"

"The number is correct, it is indeed 9 people now. But the number of linked worlds is now only one world away from 7."

"Also, how did you manage to know the prince for only a month?"

"Time will stand still only when the [Gate of Time] is opened and travel is made."

"You... you're really Sophie?" Madison couldn't believe that Sophie, whose mind was only focused on fashion design, makeup, and fairy tales, could speak so coherently. "Hmm, could it be that Lessie woman giving you advice behind the scenes again?"

Sophie didn't say anything, she just clenched her fists.

Beatrix sneered, "Looks like you guessed right. Hopeless must be trying to create a new persona in front of the newcomers. He forgot about his own brain."

Madison smiled dismissively. "No matter how good a persona is, it will crumble when everyone else stands up and stands firm, while she convulses and begs for mercy."

"I really don't understand. She's so healthy, how come she acts like a naive young girl who hasn't experienced anything yet?"

"Shut up!" Sophie snapped. "I'm the vice-captain!"

"I'm still the commander's woman," Madison replied, leaning against Basil and groping around.

Huang Rong and Wang Yuyan felt extremely uncomfortable. These barbarians were too bold; they could even talk about matters of the bedroom.

Basil coughed, careful not to frighten Rong'er and Yu Yan, "Give Sophie some face, it's like this, because of Rong'er and Yu Yan's world..."

He recounted the whole story.

"A world has actually split apart," Bellatrix exclaimed, "Because of time travel."

Madison shrugged. "That's also because of the addition of System Component. Just like in your world, for Rosalie's sake, Basil traveled back in time, controlled those guys who were about to commit violence, and then implanted fake memories into Rosalie."

Before Rosalie became a vampire, she was gang-raped by her fiancé and a group of friends, and then left on the snowy ground on a winter night.

He was discovered by Carlisle and turned into a vampire.

But Basil discovered that Rosalie was clearly a virgin.

Considering that Alice was able to foresee his arrival while he was protected by the system, he realized that he must have left traces in the past.

He was simply going with the flow.

Ariana's eyes lit up; she hadn't heard Madison mention this before. "Bucky, could you..."

Basil shook his head. "In Bellatrix's world, I was simply going with the flow. Going back in time, especially for a life form of my size, would have created an immeasurable butterfly effect simply by existing."

"And your mother doesn't want to be resurrected either. The afterlife is wonderful, and no dead person wants to set foot in this Human World that is so difficult for them."

Basil wasn't entirely telling the truth.

He is fully capable of managing the impact of his size on the past.

Even without going back to the past, one can project the power of fixed logic into the past from the present.

That's why he's not going to do that.

While the afterlife played a part, the main reason was that he activated the system, and surviving Fenrir became the absolute point in time.

Unless the world is destroyed, no method can succeed against his younger self.

This includes himself.

And Ariana's decision to resurrect her parents was more of a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Because she saw her from another world introducing this world to her parents in the afterlife.

"I see." Ariana gave up immediately.

"Sweetheart." Madison asked again when he saw that Ariana was alright, "How about we recruit a member from the Pirates of the Caribbean world or the Movie Harry world?"

"Now we are only one link world away from upgrading to level 4."

"Everyone should be very interested in the new feature, the Collection Room."

"I recommend Luna or Phoebe."

"I suggest Emma Hermione," Sophie said, squinting her eyes with a hint of malice.

She knew how much Madison, who worked in Hollywood, hated Emma Watson.

"Pansy is fine too," Zoe raised her hand.

"The Collection Room is just a replica of the power of the Fashion component," Basil said. "It has already been recycled in the Pirate World, and I can materialize a set for you."

He didn't intend for Hermione and the others in the movie world to know that he was Basil from the Novel World.

This would further increase their perception of his womanizing.

In the world of pirates, the only character he was interested in was Jack Sparrow, who was a man.

So forget it.

His first priority now is dealing with matters in the Marvel Universe.

Although it's Marvel Cinematic Universe, in that world he's still Dimensional Demon God.

But he was still a little worried.

After all, that Dimensional Demon God also included Hogwarts. Warner Bros.' version went to Marvel, and with the so-called fourth wall, won't Marvel's editorial department be sued into bankruptcy?

He needs some stepping stones.

It just so happens that the Behind-the-Scenes God has also been absent for some time.
