Leng Yueyan inexplicably disappeared from Lin Shuguang's room in the end. As for why she left so quickly, the reason was probably related to the rope Lin Shuguang was playing with in his hand.

Even as she left, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her back.

After Leng Yueyan left, Lin Shuguang put down the rope with a deep gaze, ultimately not making a move.

"There's important business tomorrow..."

Locking the door tightly, and even to prevent the crazy woman Leng Yueyan from suddenly climbing through the window in the middle of the night, Lin Shuguang locked the windows this time as well.

After finishing these tasks, he took the Nine Revolutions Golden Core that Leng Yueyan had given him into his hand.

This time, he didn't take it immediately, but thought of sacrifice.

Sensing that the adjacent room had fallen silent, Lin Shuguang turned and entered the altar space.

He took out the Golden Dew, holding the Nine Revolutions Golden Core in the other hand.

Golden Dew had the effect of enhancing evolution, a special effect he had only recently discovered. Therefore, he was now thinking if he could evolve this Nine Revolutions Golden Core further.

He recalled that the Nine Revolutions Golden Core provided by Old Man Chen of the Baojian Sect back then had allowed him to leap over several realms.

However, those were only low-level realms at the time, so the leap would be quite significant.

Now that Lin Shuguang was already at the True Fate Realm, it was probably not as simple as he imagined to leap from a low-tier realm to Grand Perfection with just a Nine Revolutions Golden Core like before.

"I hope the Golden Dew can have some effect..."

Taking out the Golden Dew, he first dripped one drop onto the Nine Revolutions Golden Core.

The Golden Dew was quickly absorbed by the Nine Revolutions Golden Core, and a golden thread appeared on the surface of the core, but it quickly dissipated as if it lacked stamina.

"Not enough?"

Lin Shuguang was not flustered or dejected at all.

He didn't lack anything else; he had plenty of Golden Dew. Otherwise, why would he particularly hope that the Great Gan Dynasty would have more heretical and evil cultivators?

He poured more Golden Dew in...

Drop after drop.

He saw golden threads constantly appearing on the Nine Revolutions Golden Core. However, this time, after the golden threads appeared, they were forcibly pushed up by the immense power brought by the Golden Dew, as if sparks were constantly erupting on the surface of the pill, and the core of the pill was being continuously altered.

If ten drops weren't enough, then fifty. If fifty weren't enough, then a hundred!

Lin Shuguang didn't feel any heartache. If he ran out, he would just go kill more heretical and evil cultivators; he wouldn't worry about not earning it back. Moreover, from his previous plundering, he still had hundreds of drops of Golden Dew left even with this consumption, so he wasn't afraid of wasting it.

Gradually, a different aura emerged from the Nine Revolutions Golden Core floating in the air.

Lin Shuguang was delighted upon seeing this, "This is promising."

He once again mobilized the power of the space and poured in the Golden Dew.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted.

Lin Shuguang immediately stopped pouring in the Golden Dew and looked at it with surprise. The Nine Revolutions Golden Core floated in mid-air, with rings of sparks circulating on its surface following some mysterious trajectory.

This pill gradually became different from the Nine Revolutions Golden Core.

The golden luster became much dimmer. If Lin Shuguang didn't know that he had gone to great lengths to enhance this pill, he would probably compare it directly with the Nine Revolutions Golden Core and definitely choose the Nine Revolutions Golden Core, as the appearance was clearly inferior.

"Did I refine it into ruin?"

Lin Shuguang looked suspicious and reached out to grab the mutated Nine Revolutions Golden Core.

The moment his fingertips touched it, Lin Shuguang actually felt his soul being pulled...

His entire being was plunged into chaos.

"Yan Kai, you look like a zebra head, talking so eloquently..." a voice came.

Lin Shuguang was stunned.

The next moment, his soul returned.

"Meng Shenzhou!" Lin Shuguang's eyes snapped open.

He was full of surprise, even disbelief.

It seemed that after leaving Magic Martial Arts University, he hadn't had many opportunities to see this old friend again. Judging by the voice, he still sounded young.

"Yan Kai...?" He pondered the name.

Lin Shuguang clearly remembered Meng Shenzhou's voice, but this Yan Kai... he remembered correctly, he had already executed this guy before he became the director of the Seventh Section of the Huaicheng Special Management Bureau. How was he still alive?

For a moment, even Lin Shuguang couldn't find an answer from his recent experience, so he simply cast it aside and looked intently at the pill in his hand.

"A pill that can pull the soul is unheard of. It seems I didn't ruin the pill, but truly refined it to some profound level," Lin Shuguang thought with surprise and joy.

After examining it for a while, he glanced at the Golden Dew beside him and couldn't help but want to use the Golden Dew to further evolve this mutated Nine Revolutions Golden Core. However, he thought about how it had taken hundreds of drops of Golden Dew just to evolve this Golden Core this time. If he were to proceed with a second stage of refinement...

Putting aside whether it would succeed, if it did, it would undoubtedly be a more expensive consumption, and Lin Shuguang might not be able to afford it.

After thinking about it, the risk was simply too great.

Lin Shuguang simply stopped daydreaming and swallowed the mutated Nine Revolutions Golden Core in one gulp.

Instantly!

Under a vast power, Lin Shuguang's entire divine soul was forced out of his body, as if it could no longer be contained within his physical form.

For a moment, Lin Shuguang felt like a drowning person, alone in a pitch-black ocean. He watched helplessly as his soul drifted further and further away from his body. The speed increased with every passing second.

Everything in front of him seemed to shrink into a white dot.

Lin Shuguang's divine soul was pulled into an empty white dot world, as if it had leaped out of its original space, detached from the altar space, and also from the Totem Continent.

"Where is this place?"

Doubt arose in Lin Shuguang's heart.

Suddenly, as if he had found air, his entire divine soul went from being listless to being full of vitality.

He glanced at his attribute panel.

His mental power attribute value had increased by a hundred thousand points.

"This!!!"

Lin Shuguang was completely stunned.

"What terrifying pill did I get from leveling up?"

Before he could finish his shock, the white world in front of him finally changed.

It was like a projection, a massive projection in the distance piercing the heavens and earth.

A scene appeared on it. The entire world was pitch black, with dark clouds like demonic mist covering the entire sky. Rolling black sea clouds churned, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.

As the projection's viewpoint zoomed out, Lin Shuguang was shocked to see that the sea of clouds in the sky was actually just surrounding a single person... The strength to draw upon the power of heaven and earth with one person's might was truly astonishing.

Following this, a voice, so indifferent it lacked any emotion, echoed from the image: "Kill!"

The next moment, saber light flashed.

The entire world collapsed and cracked, pierced through by this single saber strike!

The terrifying power seemed to emanate from the projection, and Lin Shuguang's divine soul was almost scattered by this saber intent.

"He is..." Lin Shuguang's eyes widened slightly.

He thought of the mysterious swordsman who had appeared in his dreams, the former owner of the Blood-colored Demonic Saber!

"Why would I see him here?"

Just as Lin Shuguang finished murmuring, the image changed again:

In a busy office, the sounds of typing keyboards and ringing landline phones could be heard continuously. Following this, the image of Lin Shuguang's past life as an IT programmer appeared on the projection.

Lin Shuguang's pupils contracted sharply.

This was his deepest secret, and it was being broadcast at this moment.

Just then, the projection continued to play:

"Lin Shuguang" walked out of the director's office, holding a red envelope. He sat down at his computer and stretched. It seemed there was a problem with the computer, as a large patch of static appeared on the screen. "Lin Shuguang" quickly typed a few commands on the keyboard, and the static on the computer immediately disappeared. Before "Lin Shuguang" could relax.

A line of text appeared on the computer screen: Do you want to know the truth of the world? Yes or No?

"Lin Shuguang" was stunned for a moment. He typed commands again, but this time they were useless. He stared at the screen for a while before directly unplugging the network cable and restarting the computer.

After the image of white clouds and green mountains appeared on the computer screen, it suddenly transformed into a black vortex. A hand directly reached out and tapped his head, then pulled him into the vortex. From then on, the world seemed to have been put on pause... The vortex then disappeared.

The image abruptly ended.

Lin Shuguang fell into silence.

"Whose hand was that?"

No wonder he had a headache when he first transmigrated; it turned out someone had reached out and tapped his head. "So, was all of this arranged by someone in secret?"

The projection in front of him played the next video, and Lin Shuguang's gaze fixed on it:

Countless smoke and dust filled the air. Under the afterglow, the corpses of cultivators continuously fell from the sky, and blood poured down like rain.

In the projection, "Lin Shuguang," his face covered in blood, held a massive, monster-like body and fiercely pierced it with a saber!

At his feet lay the corpses of countless monsters. "Lin Shuguang" seemed tireless, facing countless charging monster armies, fighting furiously, covered in blood – both his own and the monsters'.

Suddenly, a beam of light descended from the sky, instantly arriving.

"Lin Shuguang" roared and activated his Demon God Body, punching through the beam of light with a single blow. He himself was sent flying thousands of meters away, the ground erupting with countless cracks.

The world was torn apart, and the power of rules surged, making one's heart pound.

Following this, he entered the Spatial Altar and took out the Spring Autumn Cicada... "Find him."

The Spring Autumn Cicada transformed into a vortex.

At that moment, "Lin Shuguang" saw his programmer self and directly reached out to grab him. "The future can only be changed by you! If the Heavenly Dao does not die, my Dao will not be righteous! Destroy it!"

"Destroy it!"

"Destroy it!"

Countless echoes reverberated, even reaching into the white-faced space where Lin Shuguang was.

Lin Shuguang's entire divine soul suddenly boiled violently.

This was a cycle!

Everything was a circle!

"Will it only stop if I destroy the Heavenly Dao?"

Lin Shuguang slowly raised his head, as if sensing something, and reached out his hand
