Heart Source Demon Palace.
Lin Hui sat cross-legged in front of the palace gate, gazing silently at the purple mist that filled the air.
He had been sitting here cross-legged for a long time, and the tempering of the star energy in his body had reached its limit.
Fusheng had no idea what he was thinking, and he had been observing him for a long time, so he finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Didn't you go to the New World? Why do you keep coming back here? Cultivating and spacing out would be much more convenient there, wouldn't it? I remember the energy level there is higher, and all kinds of power are much easier to obtain."
"That place is just a foothold for me to acquire resources," Lin Hui said calmly.
If he invested a lot of emotion in his first life, deeply immersing himself in it and regarding his relatives as his own family, then in the second life, this feeling would be much weaker. Relatives would still be relatives, but they would not be as close as they were in the first life.
Now in his third life, his relatives are more like friends than family. His heart and the place for his clan have long been filled by his previous two lives.
So now he observes himself on the Red Pattern Star with a more calm, detached perspective.
"That's right, you've reached this point too. Indeed, the true weight of life is finite; if you give it to one thing, the other will inevitably be diluted." Fusheng himself had similar experiences, so he understood Lin Hui's situation very well.
"Was that the same for you, senior?" Lin Hui asked.
"Well, we cultivators live countless lives, how could we only have one identity? I myself have experienced dozens of different identities, roles, and lives in my youth. I'm already tired of the mundane world. Otherwise, why would I go looking for trouble and explore everywhere, only to end up in this godforsaken place?" Fusheng sighed.
"So how did you do it, senior? Back then?" Lin Hui asked again.
"It's very simple, just use it temporarily. After we break away, simply erase all memories and traces I left behind. This way, it's better for everyone," Fusheng said succinctly.
Lin Hui remained silent.
Although he has become much more indifferent to his current relatives, he still cannot bring himself to do something like directly erasing their memories.
Memories have always been a taboo subject for him. He's okay with other people, but when it comes to those close to him, it inevitably opens Pandora's box.
He feared that he might follow his own desires and lock himself in a cage of lies he had woven himself.
"Hurry up and grab the resources and leave. In your current state, there's no need to continue using the old methods," Fusheng suggested.
"Indeed." Lin Hui shared the same plan.
However, the new world's energy level is extremely high, and he cannot yet roam freely and plunder resources.
So we'll have to wait for now.
He hadn't forgotten that his purpose in going to the New World was to acquire a large amount of resources needed for the evolution of the Blood Seal, so as to rapidly iterate and use the Blood Seal to find a way out for the future of the Fusion Faction.
Instead of inevitably becoming a monster in the midst of calamity.
Lin Hui stood up and sighed softly.
"Time to move on to the next plan."
"What are you planning to do?" Fusheng asked from behind.
"To truly understand my strength, I naturally need to spar with others," Lin Hui replied.
"You..." Before Fusheng could finish speaking, he saw Lin Hui gouge out his own two eyeballs with his bare hands, throw them into the Heart Source Demon Palace, and then be caught by the Formless Heavenly Demon.
"Keep an eye on things for me." Lin Hui's voice Youyou over, but he had already vanished.
The Fusheng skull looked at the gouged-out eyeballs.
"What the hell? What do you mean by gouging out your own eyes before you start a fight?"

Time passed day by day.
On the Red Pattern Star, after Lin Hui rescued Lin Yuexiu, he did not find a second similar candidate.
This led him to focus his attention entirely on Lin Yuexiu.
After class each day, he would instruct him to concentrate on practicing swordsmanship.
Only a month later, he noticed that Lin Yuexiu's emotions were gradually becoming more and more anxious.
But he didn't care; very few people can remain mentally sound after suffering a great calamity.
As long as the golden aura produced each day is still there, that's fine.
Yes, this girl can produce 1 to 5 varying amounts of golden energy every day.
On average, over a month, Lin Hui shortened the duration of the Blood Seal on her body by more than a hundred years in thirty days.
Extremely high cost-performance ratio.
However, the research on the golden aura has been fruitless. Lin Hui doesn't know exactly what it is. He has tested many characteristics and conducted many experiments on the interaction of forces, but he can only confirm that apart from Disaster Energy, nothing else can touch it.
The Blood Seal's ability to absorb energy also reveals that it is similar to, or even of a higher rank than, the Disaster Energy.
Lin Hui originally thought that his life would probably just pass by peacefully and quietly until he had finished harvesting the resources and passed away naturally.
But only six months later, a new accident disrupted his plans.
boom!!
A massive black flame monster crashed down onto the school's playground, causing the ground to collapse, explode, and scatter large amounts of cement debris.
The teachers and students in the classroom were startled at first, then they all got up from their seats and ran frantically out of the classroom.
Aside from the occasional scream, almost everyone remained calm.
They evacuated quickly and skillfully following the procedures outlined in regular safety drills.
Such monster attacks are not uncommon for anyone; at least everyone has seen them or knows how to deal with them.
Lin Hui and his classmate Gao Junqiang quickly mingled with the crowd and went downstairs to the safe zone.
His attention was focused on his main body, so he didn't notice the psionic monster that had appeared so close by.
During this time, he took advantage of his immortality after his eyes were gouged out, and plundered and caused trouble all over the surrounding starry sky.
The goal, of course, is to force truly powerful individuals to come forward and engage in combat. Space is vast; even the nearest star to Red Pattern Star is hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
Therefore, it was more than enough for him to unleash his full power in a fierce battle.
After plundering two small merchant fleets, one by one, powerful members of the Endless Divine Clan emerged and engaged him in battle.
Soon, the approximate strength level of the main body was also determined.
Ordinary God Clan can be instantly killed, while higher-ranking elite God Clan, such as lower-ranking officers in the Protoss army, require a little more effort, taking one to three seconds to eliminate.
Because many of these officers possess super-fast regeneration abilities or multiple means of substitution, they cannot be killed in one go.
At a higher level, such as mid-level officers who are similar to ring-level monsters, it takes much more trouble; they can't be dealt with without the Star Breath Sword Classic.
The ring level is also divided into six levels, a total of six rings. Without using the Clear Source Dharma Body and the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique, Lin Hui was already struggling when he reached the third ring, before the fourth.
This level is basically at the level of planetary rulers, and like him, they can easily destroy a large planet.
After that, he tried desperately, directly activating his sword technique and severely injuring the fourth-ring God Clan, but then he ran out of strength.
As for the fifth ring, that is the strongest among the ring-level beings, only a hair's breadth away from becoming a military lord, a powerful being who manages an entire star field.
Lin Hui had never encountered such a person before, but the fourth-ring level experts he had met were already able to keep up with his speed and strength. Moreover, they possessed all sorts of strange and unusual abilities, which, when suddenly unleashed, instantly put him at a great disadvantage.
After investigating and confirming that there would only be one fifth-ring powerhouse on dozens of planets, Lin Hui finally determined his limits.
That is, between the fourth and fifth ring roads.
They are considered standard-level star-destroying powerhouses.
This should be considered accurate in this world. As Teacher Seven Extinctions said, the strong here are very experienced in dealing with Disaster Energy Fusionist.
Having fought in the starry sky for many years, he has a lot of experience dealing with ultra-fast opponents.
Traveling thousands of miles in an instant is not uncommon for them.
There were even experts faster than Lin Hui. In an instant, they could traverse millions of kilometers, leaving Lin Hui nowhere to run and no way to escape the range of their attacks. In the end, his physical body was directly shattered.
In the end, he was revived in the Heart Source Demon Palace using the Illusion Destruction Eye.
Lin Hui's constant self-destructive behavior made him truly realize his current strength level, and he became much more docile.
But just as he settled down, another unexpected event occurred.
This time, the monster actually found its way to his school.
boom!
At that moment, a loud bang jolted him off his feet, nearly causing him to lose his balance.
Gao Junqiang, who was standing nearby, slammed his head into the metal handrail at the corner with a dull thud, almost knocking himself unconscious.
Lin Hui helped him up and led him to run forward with the crowd.
Suddenly, he sensed something watching him from afar, but quickly looked away. The focused gaze and certainty told him that the other person wasn't just casually glancing around; he was their primary target.
Pretending to know nothing, Lin Hui continued to lead his men out of the teaching building and into the underground defensive space.
"Is that him?" High in the distance, two God Clan with white rune chains floating behind them coldly watched Lin Hui running below.
"Yes, Ding Luo Luo's younger brother, who is in human form, has shown signs of psychological bias based on recent investigations. Her strong identification with her mortal family might lead her to engage in low-probability behaviors that could harm her race." The other God Clan nodded slightly.
"How should we handle this?"
"Judging from this lockdown test, this psionic energy wasn't intentionally released; it was a random attack on this area. Therefore, we deliberately delayed the notification from the nearest garrison to observe Ding Luo. If her reaction matches our hypothesis, then after three consecutive tests, we will activate the potential factor cleanup mechanism."
"You mean... get rid of Ding Luo?"
"Yes."
"So, how many times is this now? The second time?"
"No, this is the third time. Another tester already performed it once before, and she failed as well. This is a review."
The two God Clan calmly examined Lin Hui's performance below.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ding Luo, who was at work, suddenly stood up from his workstation and rushed outside.
" Ding Luo, where are you going?"
A colleague's question came from behind.
"Something came up at home, please ask for leave for me!" Ding Luo said before quickly leaving.
As soon as she rushed out of the office building, the divine tattoo on her chest quickly transmitted a message.
A vital resource save point for the God Clan has been attacked, and she is needed to provide support.
Ding Luo took a deep breath.
"Here we go again..." She wasn't stupid. With such an obvious hint and such an obvious scheme, how could she not understand? This was probably a test of her loyalty to the tribe.
But the attack on my younger brother is a real and tangible danger.
What could she do? What should she do? It was all predetermined.
She had no other choice.
Just thinking about my younger brother's always blank and slow-witted expression, and how he always reacts a beat too late, I'm afraid that if we were really in danger, he would be much slower than the others in escaping.
Ding Luo grew increasingly anxious.
She turned around and jumped into a hovercar parked on the side of the road. The car started and sped toward Lin Hui's school.
