Interdimensional Armaments: When the AK47 Meets the Flame Splitting Wave-Devouring Ruler

In the morning light of the Xiao Clan's training grounds, Xiao Zhan stared, dumbfounded, at the armed helicopter hovering in the air. The air currents whipped up by the rotors blew away his bamboo hat, revealing the new strands of white hair at his temples—the result of the shock he'd felt last night while watching Xiao Feng level three stone mountains with an antimatter bomb.

"Father, this is Earth's 'AH-64 Apache'." Xiao Feng manipulated a tablet, the missile launchers slowly unfolding. "The power of a single Hellfire Missile is equivalent to a full-force strike from a Dou King, and it can precisely lock onto Dou Qi fluctuations."

Xiao Yan was squatting nearby, loading ammunition into a Fire Lotus Rocket Launcher, when he suddenly pointed at the display screen and exclaimed, "Third Brother, the radar shows unidentified flying objects approaching!"

On the screen, three green dots were closing in at Mach speed. Xiao Feng's pupils constricted as he recognized them as the Gu Clan's "Sky-Wing Griffins"—biological weapons modified with beast-gene technology. He raised his hand to issue an order; the helicopter squadron instantly scattered, their onboard laser cannons weaving a net of fire in mid-air.

"Warning! Energy shield at 30%!" As the mechanical voice rang out, the Griffin riders unleashed a Xuan-tier Dou Technique, "Storm Blade," which actually sliced the laser beams into fragments. Xiao Feng sneered and pressed the red button on his tablet: "Try this, an EMP Bomb."

A blue-white light flashed across the sky, and the Griffins let out mournful cries as their metal-boned mechanical wings plummeted. The riders watched in terror as the Dou Qi longswords in their hands lost their luster, only to be easily captured by Xiao Clan disciples using tranquilizer guns.

"The Gu Clan is actually dabbling in biotechnology, too." Xiao Yan kicked the wreckage of a Griffin; the circuit board exposed within its body was engraved with Soul Clan incantations. "It seems the tentacles of Hun Dan have long since reached into the major ancient clans."

Xiao Zhan picked up a dropped Dou Technique jade slip, its surface still crackling with electrical sparks. "Feng'er, do you really intend to use these... steel monsters to fight the Soul Clan? What about the heritage of our ancestors..."

"Heritage must keep pace with the times." Xiao Feng pulled up a military satellite map of Earth, the outline of the Douqi Continent flickering on the screen. "Hun Dan used system code to tamper with the world's rules, so we must use the technology he is familiar with to defeat him. Besides—" He pointed to the other side of the training grounds, where Xiao Clan disciples were lining up to receive smartwatches. "The system's 'check-in function' can also be triggered on Earth. Yesterday, someone checked in at a convenience store and received ten Grade Six Rejuvenation Pills."

Xiao Zhan shook his head with a wry smile, then suddenly felt the ground tremble. A blue light emanated from a portal in the distance, and a young man from Earth wearing sunglasses stepped out, clutching a thermal bag labeled "Meituan Delivery" under his arm. "Mr. Xiao Feng? Your 'Dou Saint-grade Burger Combo' has arrived. Also, the Transmigrator Alliance asked me to bring you a message—"

The young man took off his sunglasses, revealing a mechanical prosthetic eye in his left socket. "Don't be too flashy; the Dual-Vector Foil strike permit is almost approved."

Meanwhile, inside the Medusa Temple of the Snake-People Kingdom, the roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King caused dust to shower down from the vaulted ceiling. Hun Dan's consciousness was attached to the evolving Medusa, watching the human form gradually taking shape in the mirror, his fingertips brushing the smartphone at his waist—a "system terminal" scavenged from Earth's black market.

"Xiao Feng, do you really think you've won just because you have cross-dimensional technology?" He chuckled at the snake-like eyes in the mirror, the screen displaying real-time surveillance of the Xiao Clan's armory. "Do you know why your system is always a beat slower than mine? Because I am the 'original transmigrator' of this world, and you..."

The temple gates exploded inward, and the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python slithered in, carrying in its mouth the figurine Xiao Yan had bought on Earth—the base of that "Flame Emperor Battle Soul" model was actually engraved with the clan crest of Xiao Xuan!

"Queen Medusa, wake up!" Xiao Yan's voice emanated from the figurine, and the model suddenly burst into golden light, shaking Hun Dan's consciousness out of her body. "Look at your own tail; those aren't snake scales, they're code!"

Medusa jerked her head up, seeing her scales transforming into streams of 0s and 1s. Hun Dan's phantom cursed as he fled toward the portal, only to be captured by a quantum trap Xiao Feng had long since prepared, dissolving into points of light that merged into Xiao Yan's Fire Lotus.

"System prompt: Hun Dan's residual consciousness has been cleared." The mechanical voice echoed through the temple, and Medusa's pupils returned to a golden hue. "My thanks to you both, but..." She stared at the figurine in Xiao Yan's hand. "Why does this thing make me think of Lord Xiao Xuan?"

When Xiao Feng arrived, he saw Xiao Yan frantically explaining, "This is... art from Earth. Yes, art!" He coughed, taking out a gene stabilizer brought from Earth. "Your Majesty, this is a potion that can stabilize your human form. In exchange, would you allow the Xiao Clan to establish a portal node in the Snake-People Kingdom?"

Medusa raised an eyebrow, her fingertips twirling a lock of Xiao Yan's hair. "Very well, but if any Xiao Clan disciple dares to step into the Snake-People forbidden zone..." The Amethyst Winged Lion King behind her let out a low growl, but was suddenly distracted by the scent of fried chicken wafting from afar, turning and running toward the portal.

"Damn it, who brought a KFC bucket over here!" Xiao Feng glared at the "Check-in Reward: Golden Crispy Chicken Recipe" in his system log and shook his head helplessly. "Xiao Yan, notify the logistics department: from now on, eating Earth takeout near the portal is strictly prohibited."

When they returned to the Xiao Clan, the Gu Clan's delegation had already arrived. This powerhouse at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Saint stared at the drones in the sky, his beard fluttering backward in the rotor wash. "Nephew Xiao, is this... a flying spiritual artifact?"

"You could say that." Xiao Feng handed over a pair of VR goggles. After Gu Yuan put them on, he gasped—the lenses were playing footage of Xiao Clan disciples using railguns to blast apart Soul Clan mechanical beasts. "This is 'virtual reality projection,' to help you understand our military strength."

Gu Yuan took off the goggles, his gaze falling on the smartphone at Xiao Zhan's waist. "Clan Leader Xiao Zhan, this old man has a presumptuous request... could I borrow your son's 'system' for a look? The Gu Clan's Ancient Emperor Scripture has been throwing errors lately, displaying 'insufficient memory'."

Xiao Feng and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance and laughed simultaneously. The system prompt chimed right on cue:

Ding! Gu Clan Leader Gu Yuan requests to connect to the system, triggering the "Inter-Clan Cooperation" mission. Reward: Gu Clan secret fire "Nirvana Flame" ×1.

"Of course, but..." Xiao Feng pulled up the Steam store page from Earth. "Before we cooperate, why don't you try our 'cross-dimensional games'? The latest expansion for Battle Through the Heavens Online supports Dou Qi control, you know."

Xiao Yan suddenly pointed at the portal in the distance, where a courier was holding a box and shouting, "Xiao Feng! Your delivery! It's the 'Xiao Clan Ancestral Home Restoration Blueprints' from Earth, and a 'chasing-for-updates' letter from someone called 'Qidian Chinese Network'!"

Gu Yuan looked at the bustling training grounds and suddenly stroked his beard, laughing. "Interesting! Back then, Xiao Xuan said, 'Great changes will surely come in later generations,' and it seems he meant this. Nephew Xiao, if you need the Gu Clan's Void Crystal Veins to manufacture these 'chips,' just say the word—but in exchange..."

He leaned in close to Xiao Feng and lowered his voice: "Could you help this old man get an Earth 'WeChat' account? I hear you can snatch red packets; they're even more sought after than Heaven-tier pills at the auction house."
