Low Hills and Stinking Water, a Shared Taste for Bad Jokes

Without any resistance from Tengshe, a small Soul Fragment was quickly stripped off by Lin Yu and recorded in the [Ancient Notebook].

Then, Tengshe was about to say something more—but before he could utter a word, the illusion completely collapsed and vanished.

The two opened their eyes and returned to the water sphere surrounding the [Azure Sea Sky Dome].

Tengshe looked down at Lin Yu, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. But seeing Lin Yu's seemingly indifferent and hostile demeanor, he regained his resolve.

"This guy is really interesting!"

She actually kept her word—after leaving the illusion, she didn't expect to hold back at all.

Tengshe could even sense that the other party was deliberately reminding him, "Don't hold back."

At this point...

For some reason, this made Tengshe feel a little more at ease.

With these thoughts in mind, Tengshe once again charged towards Lin Yu with all its might.

At the same time, he finally made a decision.

He really didn't want to activate his "Heart Domain" originally, since it was unnecessary for a "Tier 4" player to activate his "Heart Domain" to fight a "Tier 2" player.

Moreover, just as Lin Yu had predicted, "Tengshe's" "Heart Domain" was indeed a trump card domain, and it could not be activated every time.

Although his "Heart Domain" is not a one-time skill, once activated, it will continuously consume his energy.

That "Heart Domain" is called "Wise Man's Survival Guide".

In a sense, he was actually keeping this "Heart Domain" in a "semi-open" state, because the basic ability of this "Heart Domain" is to allow "Tengshe" to obtain 2,000 calories of energy every day and to obtain a basic "shelter-like" place to live - which can be effective under any circumstances.

However, if "Tengshe" fully activates this "Heart Domain," it will gain... the ability to "evolve."

He can "evolve" like an organism, freely changing his physical form and gene arrangement according to his own will and current needs, and this changes take effect immediately.

This evolution even allowed "Tengshe" to adapt to every enemy attack and to quickly master any Supernatural Power known throughout the Ten Realms, transforming his body into the most suitable form.

Even if "Tengshe" doesn't know what the most suitable form is, it doesn't matter. He just needs to make his request... "Heart Domain" will naturally make up for it.

However, the price of each "evolution" is that "Tengshe" needs to consume more "calories" - it needs to consume a lot of food afterward to meet the needs of its evolved body.

However, once evolution is complete, it takes a long time to "degenerate" back to a state of low energy consumption and high functionality.

At the same time, if it is open for too long, this "Heart Domain" will also enter the Tier 2 uncontrollably. In the Tier 2, "Tengshe" will begin to merge with his [Item] and the [materials] he has collected, and begin to evolve in the direction of some kind of "ultimate life form".

To stop this evolutionary process, Tengshe would need to make a great deal of effort.

Therefore, Tengshe usually doesn't allow the "evolution" part to be activated for too long.

But...

With so many restrictions and such a simple ability, it can become the "Heart Domain" of "Tengshe" because once this ability is activated, its effects are terrifying.

The last time Tengshe activated his powers was when he was besieged by three Great Demons in the "Prison Mountain Realm." After he activated them, although the three Yaomo' proud innate Innate Divine Ability all managed to injure Tengshe... in the entire battle, their Innate Divine Ability could only injure Tengshe once.

Furthermore, Tengshe quickly learned the "spells" used by the Yaomo and, wielding the power of the Blood Pool Evil Souls that only Yaomo could originally use, killed two of the three Great Demons in the Yaomo's carefully prepared home ground!

In a sense, Tengshe's "evolution" will ensure that he has no "environmental disadvantage" anywhere.

In fact, during his spare time, Tengshe had sparred with the Grandmaster twice—and the Grandmaster spoke highly of him.

"Your 'Heart Domain' is very interesting. You are the second person besides 'Benevolent King' who can withstand three of my punches, which carried the Heaven and Earth Momentum, with just his physical body."

Just as Tengshe was about to initiate its "evolution"...

Suddenly, a series of "click-clack" sounds came from directly above Tengshe's head.

The mechanical component at the very center of this water sphere, the core of [Azure Sea Sky Dome], suddenly began to operate!

Then, the entire water sphere began to shrink violently, instantly transforming from a super-large water sphere of over ten meters into a water sphere of only three or four meters!

And in this process...

Tengshe, Lin Yu, and Li Nian were naturally also "spit out"!

The three people began to fall from the sky!

"It's done, Sister Zhu Ming!"

As Li Nian plummeted, she struggled to get closer to Lin Yu in mid-air, letting out a happy voice. "I've already operated this [Azure Sea Sky Dome] as you instructed... Although its core possesses some kind of high-level power, its operating logic and system are still connected to most of the equipment in the Lost Kingdom of the 'Nether Void Realm'!"

"I really am a genius!"

Lin Yu reached out his hand, and a gentle breeze enveloped the two of them, slowing their descent.

He also praised Li Nian: "Well done... A Nian, it's all thanks to you! Very timely!"

"The second illusion that trapped 'Tengshe' has just ended!"

After all, Lin Yu could tell that Li Nian wanted to be praised by him.

Really...

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Li Nian chuckled and said, "No, Sister Zhu Ming, it's just because your instructions were very clear!"

Although Lin Yu's consciousness was mostly within the illusion of "Tengshe," and most of his attention was focused on scheming against "Tengshe," observing "Tengshe's" past, and planning his interactions with "Tengshe"...

However, he still left a small part of his consciousness to direct Li Nian, allowing Li Nian to manipulate and modify [Azure Sea Sky Dome].

Li Nian already possessed a level of understanding of rare items from various worlds that surpassed that of ordinary "Player," and had a solid foundation of basic knowledge. In addition, she had just acquired a portion of the "inheritance" in the Palace, and with Lin Yu's instruction manual-level guidance, she naturally operated the equipment with ease.

At this moment, the components of [Azure Sea Sky Dome] were operating rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the water sphere was shrinking, or rather, becoming more solid, and had already become only a little over one person tall.

And it's not just the water balloon that's shrinking... there's also...

The entire [Azure Sea Sky Dome]!

Outside the building, a rumbling sound continued to echo— Lin Yu knew very well that it was the sound of the [Azure Sea Sky Dome] protection gradually shrinking and the Pure Void Seawater pouring into the city.

Although Lin Yu had gathered all the puppets here and blasted them into "Desire" power to trap Tengshe for the first time, the ancient buildings in this city still exist.

The seawater surged into the city, destroying many buildings and facilities, naturally creating a great deal of noise.

The Tengshe, which had already landed on the ground, listened to the sounds outside and roughly guessed what had happened.

"You two crazy women... What are you doing?! Do you want to destroy this city?!"

"What does it matter?" Lin Yu floated in the air, looking down at "Tengshe". "Anyway, there are no residents here... Do you really intend to protect the cultural relics of Pure Ruins and develop this place into a historical and cultural scenic area?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Tengshe shook his head. "What you're doing... will cause even greater turmoil in the Nether Void Realm —the Nether Void Realm is already in the midst of war. A suddenly opened Ancient Ruins could become a crucial point that completely breaks the balance, and might even lead to a full-scale war!"

Tengshe spoke, Lin Yu smiled and said, "Of course I know—then why don't you try to stop me?"

"Anyway, you came here to stop Brother Le from Tier Advancement, didn't you?"

Tengshe took a deep breath. "Of course I will stop you..."

And just as Tengshe finished speaking...

A loud, slightly comical, shrill voice rang out.

"Beep--Beep--!"

Then, a kind-looking uncle riding a unicycle appeared behind Tengshe, blowing a dragon whistle with a colorful ribbon between his teeth.

"You want to stop 'Zhu Ming,' is that it, 'Tengshe'? Then you'll have to ask me first if I agree!"

The Comedian jumped off the unicycle, took off his dragon whistle, and revealed a serious expression.

"We, the 'Freedom Alliance,' are one. If you oppose 'Zhu Ming,' you are opposing me. Do you know what the consequences of opposing me will be?"

Tengshe narrowed his eyes, looked at the newcomer, and said, "Comedian... you came pretty fast!"

The Comedian looked at Tengshe, then pointed to Chen Le behind him who was giving a thumbs-up. "It's all thanks to 'Fishing Man'... But why don't you ask what the consequences are for going against me?"

Tengshe was a little confused by the Comedian's sudden questioning of his attitude, which had just been making threats. Nevertheless, he instinctively asked, "What are the consequences?"

"Durian."

The Comedian continued, staring at the Tengshe.

Tengshe was even more confused. "What durian?"

The Comedian then replied, "Cat King Mountain Durian."

"No, where did this 'Cat King Mountain Durian' come from? What are you talking about?"

Tengshe was completely bewildered.

"They came from here."

As the Comedian spoke, he pulled out a huge Cat King Mountain Durian from behind his back.

"This is the 'consequence'!"

Tengshe looked at the Comedian holding the durian, remained silent for two seconds, and then suddenly burst into a thunderous laugh.

"Holy crap, the consequences... hahahahahaha!"

"You're so talented, bro! Holy crap!"

He seemed to suddenly realize something and burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face, his whole body bent over in pain.

Having witnessed the entire process, Li Nian looked at Lin Yu beside her in shock.

What is he laughing at?

Lin Yu shrugged. "I don't know, maybe he's mentally unstable... After all, he's a homeless man, maybe he's eaten too many poisonous mushrooms."

Old Wu had already appeared beside the two, checked their condition, and was preparing to protect them, touched the top of his head and sighed.

"This guy is really crazy... but the fact that he can get sixth place with that kind of brain means he probably has some extraordinary talent in other areas, just like Brother Zhuo."
