As the phantoms around him vanished, Lin Chuan found himself in a mountain ravine filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. Everything around him exuded an air of peace and natural serenity.
It was a small courtyard. The thatched cottage was not luxurious, but it brimmed with the warmth of everyday life. A mountain stream had been cleverly diverted into the courtyard, where it gathered into a pond. Golden Dragon Carp swam beneath the clear water, and one could tell at a glance that they were extraordinary.
At the same time, a familiar scent drifted over from nearby—the smell of grilled fish. Lin Chuan found it familiar because when he had first arrived on the Central River Continent, he had encountered Xiao Heng and Shi Jin while they were eating grilled fish. The scent was almost identical to that time, and the fish being grilled were precisely the Golden Dragon Carp swimming in the pond.

"Th-this... what's going on?" Lin Chuan was rather dazed. Looking around, he could not process it all at once. Besides Bu Lianshi, Qin Lang, Chen Xuanyi, Ye Qingyang, and even Supreme One Siming stood nearby.
Hadn't they all just been trapped in some unknown spell? How had everyone suddenly awakened? And where was Qing Huan? Wasn't she the Heaven Emperor of Origin Boundary Heaven?
"After we passed through that door, we entered Origin Boundary Heaven directly. Only you were trapped in your own illusion," Bu Lianshi explained.
"Then... why..." Lin Chuan's head still felt a little dizzy.
Everything had happened too quickly, and the changes had come too fast for him to accept right away. Moreover, given the current situation, he still could not help suspecting that everything before
