The words, like a prophecy, landed heavily, echoing amidst the chaotic Earth Vein, the shattered Formation, and the awakened aura of the Demon Ancestor.

Within the Imperial Mausoleum Underground Palace of Nine Cold Mountain, after a thousand years, the words of "golden rules" and "golden words" once again echoed.

Although Lin Yu is not the Supreme of the Nine and Five, when the words of a "Fraudster" gain enough "belief"... sometimes they are more effective than imperial edicts or Deity Divine Oracle!

Although the belief of just one "Diviner" is far from enough to grant Lin Yu the ability to "bring someone back to life"...

However, Lin Yu's "belief" no longer needed to be put to the test!

[Tower Scam]... "Believe" to withdraw!

After several deposits and withdrawals, Lin Yu still had a lot of "belief" left in the [Tower Scam]. However, since he had already used quite a bit before, and "bringing someone back to life" was indeed a major event that defied the Lin Yu, this amount was indeed not enough for him.

But it's okay...

Lin Yu has more than just this one [Professional Item]!

Although "Fraudster" is a Profession that heavily relies on skill and has a low skill floor, thanks to Lin Yu's superb skills and Deity favor, he doesn't have one or two [Professional Item], but four [Professional Item] (non- Fraudster [Professional Item] are not included)!

[Sweet Words and Flattering Looks] activates and uses [Tongue of Deception] to turn the lie "I can keep Qin Siyu alive" into the truth!

[Narrative Trick] activated—Rewrite your own statement that was chosen by "Belief" and [Tongue of Deception], changing it to "Qin Siyu will survive!"

Then, the required "belief" is further reduced significantly due to the effect of [Tongue of Deception], but it is still somewhat lacking.

But it doesn't matter, he still has the Gossip Can Melt Gold!

Previously, in [the Gossip Can Melt Gold], he had stored half of the "I can reverse time and bring the dead back to life" effect, which was witnessed and provided with "belief" by the World Will and many high- Make It Real —because he only used half of it at the time.

Unfortunately... what Lin Yu stored away wasn't "Resurrection," because he had already used it.

But...

He has saved "time reversal"!

And this "time reversal" effect... even if it was a "belief" at the level of the World Will at the time, it was not enough to truly reverse the time of a world.

Or rather... after repeatedly using the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch] and the Karma Threads Divine Ability, Lin Yu had realized something.

There is no such thing as "reversing time" in the true sense.

However... he can rewrite the state of an "object" or a certain "range" on a small scale, "Reversal" to a limited local area.

Just like what happened to him in the first [Instance]!

The current "Qin Siyu" has completely lost her soul and life force, and seems beyond saving...

It's like the words spoken by a "fortune Diviner".

"A futile struggle," the "Director" said. "I admit that if I had told you earlier, you might actually have been able to turn things around, but... thankfully I was cautious enough to tell you only after her soul had been scattered."

The Diviner uttered his sarcastic words, but Lin Yu interrupted him, "But you also said... as long as it's 'the past,' it's not too late!"

"And I... can send her back to the past!"

Lin Yu spoke in a low voice, then took out the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch], and then stabbed the [Limit Breaking Jade Cleaver] hard into the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch].

"Click--"

The watch face shattered, and a large amount of black mist billowed out from the pocket watch...

Following that gap, Lin Yu incorporated the "time Make It Real" effect solidified in [Gossip Can Melt Gold] into this [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch].

The pocket watch, which already possessed a certain "Reversal" Divine Power, was quickly drawn into the "time reversal" effect. Coupled with the limit-breaking effect brought by the [Limit Breaking Jade Cleaver], it underwent a drastic change, and the entire pocket watch began to tremble violently.

Faintly, Lin Yu heard a distant voice again, a sound that was both a sigh and a sigh of relief.

I'm so happy for you...

This was the voice he had heard during his first [Instance]—the voice that praised him as "truly brilliant" before his colossal lie of "Reversal time" "Make It Real."

At the time, Lin Yu only thought it might be a Deity, but now, as the "Death game" progresses and his status rises, Lin Yu has clearly realized that Deity... do not have such Divine Rank and power.

This is the praise, recognition, and reward from a being higher than the Deity.

Is it the will of the "Death game," the World Will," or some other higher being beyond my comprehension?

That's not important.

In short, at this moment...

The reward has appeared again.

The trembling pocket watch suddenly calmed down—the damage caused by the [Limit Breaking Jade Cleaver] disappeared, all the mist gathered within it, and it transformed into a brand-new pocket watch.

Its [Item Name] has also changed.

From the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch], it became...

[Reversal Pocket Watch].

The "Diviner" Doppelganger stared at Lin Yu and finally spoke.

"You... must have paid a heavy price for using so much high-level power, right?"

"Just exposing all this to me... is already a huge sacrifice."

He had just sensed many changes happening on Lin Yu's side, and the "Diviner" had indeed believed from the beginning that Lin Yu must have some means to make him do something to Qin Siyu on the ground.

The "Diviner" isn't the type to wait for his opponent to finish preparing before striking. When he was a kid, watching tokusatsu and magical girl anime, he often wondered why the villains didn't attack during the transformation.

Although Lin Yu acted very quickly, the "Diviner" still had opportunities to make his move.

But... he still didn't make a move.

Because the "Diviner" could sense that if he intervened... this avatar would likely suffer a terrible death.

He always trusted his feelings and intuition, and besides... the feeling he just had wasn't just intuition.

As a "Tier 4- Tier 4" being, and the strongest of all, the "Diviner" could sense with just a little effort that when Lin Yu pulled out the Kitchen Knife to stab the pocket watch, he was suddenly empowered by a will that seemed to be closely related to the Supreme will of the "Death game".

Let alone his Doppelganger, even if his original body were here, he would have to carefully consider the consequences of acting rashly.

After all... one's own life is the most important thing.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Diviner, looking at Lin Yu, strangely chose to try to "persuade" Lin Yu.

"You went to such great lengths just to save this Native the Prison Mountain Realm... this Native you've only known for a short time, and who is practically unrelated to you, was it worth it?"

Lin Yu looked at the Diviner and calmly replied, "It's not that we're completely unrelated. She's a friend of the Master Thief's A Nian, 'A Nian is a friend of' Zhu Ming,' Zhu Ming is my friend, and she's a friend of my friend's friend."

The Diviner was stunned. "Are you serious?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "Half of it is true... but more of it is because..."

"Even though we haven't known each other for very long, I think she's a nice person, and she hasn't done anything wrong—so I won't let you kill her so easily."

As Lin Yu spoke, he pressed the crown of the [Reversal Pocket Watch].

However, Lin Yu believed that what the Diviner said was also a lie.

After all...

That's something only the "Director" of "Order" would say, or something only the "Lin Yu" he's been playing lately would say.

The reason Lin Yu did this, paying such a high price, taking such a great risk, and expending so much energy and Mental Energy, is naturally one of the reasons...

Since Qin Siyu 'Qin Siyu death and Bloodline are key to the "Diviner's " plan and crucial to his destruction of the Formation to release the Demon Ancestor Gantuo, then Resurrection Qin Siyu... is now the most direct way to disrupt the Diviner's plan!

Furthermore, Lin Yu already considered Qin Siyu a valuable connection in the Prison Mountain Realm that might prove useful in the future, and now he also learned that she was a direct Bloodline of the royal Direct Lineage of the Great Rui Dynasty... How could he possibly let someone who seemed so likely to be of great use in the future die in vain?

Another reason is...

This was also an excellent "testing opportunity" for Lin Yu.

Throughout, Lin Yu remembered that his primary goal was still to find Lin Zhao!

The "Time Reversal" effect stored in [Gossip Can Melt Gold Metal], the "Fraudster" ability... these are all methods I can think of that I might be able to use.

Based on the information currently available... Lin Zhao's soul is likely also in a fragmented state.

Qin Siyu is currently dying because Diviner shattered her soul... Is there a better practice subject than this?

Her condition was similar to her sister's, and she had only recently died; she was right in front of him...

Lin Yu, no matter what, must Xingyi experiments to see if his direction is correct!

And at this very moment...

The power emanating from the [Reversal Pocket Watch] covered Qin Siyu's body, quickly causing the blood on the ground to flow backward and the departed soul to condense and return to her body.

Her state truly returned to the point in time when "her soul had just begun to crumble."

And when we "Reversal" to this state, which can still be described as "near death".

The abilities of a "Fraudster" have also "Make It Real" at this moment!

After all, from the very beginning, what Lin Yu wanted to Make It Real was "Qin Siyu will live," not "Qin Siyu will be brought back to life!"

The former requires far less "belief" than the latter.

Currently, Qin Siyu is on the verge of death and is being affected by the "Fraudster's " abilities...

The seemingly irreversible state of soul shattering was abruptly stopped!

The instant the process stopped, Lin Yu immediately injected a large amount of Soul Power and Life Force into Qin Siyu's body.

Then...

After a moment, the eyelashes of the tall, thin girl on the ground, covered in blood and dressed in night clothes, trembled slightly.

Then, she suddenly sprang up from the ground.

"Wow! Senior... I'm going to die! I don't want to die!"
