Gender-Bending Resurrection Card (Limited) and the Broken Clock.

An awkward atmosphere suddenly permeated the trio.

It seemed to happen right after Zoro finished revealing what he had pulled...

Both men stiffly turned their heads to silently gaze at Uchiha Madara, whose face had turned completely black, as if they had realized something.

Uchiha Madara stared at the item he had just pulled, his Rinnegan eyes practically bulging out of their sockets. He truly could not fathom why the gift pack provided by the Dimensional Chat Group would contain such an bottom-of-the-barrel item; it was simply... an insult to his dignity!

[Item: Gender-Bending Resurrection Card (Senju Hashirama Exclusive)]

[Rank/Quality: Tier 2 Special Resurrection Card]

[Effect: Can resurrect Senju Hashirama and gender-bend him. The user's initial loyalty is set to 100%. You may choose whether to bind the target to yourself; if bound, their growth can be linked to yours.]

[Description: Use this, and you can harvest a gender-bent good brother.]

After reading it in its entirety, Uchiha Madara felt as though his Rinnegan eyes were no longer worth keeping, having been tainted by such filth. He was so enraged that his entire body trembled, and a powerful aura began to radiate outward involuntarily.

He Lingxuan, lying unconscious on the ground, was startled by these fluctuations, showing signs of waking up.

As for the other two, Li Jiahao was fine; he seemed to have used some method to ignore the pressure. Zoro, however, found the pressure so immense that he had to lean on his sword just to remain standing.

"Hey, that's enough, right? I don't know what's wrong with you, but you've been acting strange since just now, and now you're just releasing this aura on your own."

After Zoro managed to adapt slightly to the pressure, he spoke to Uchiha Madara with irritation.

Only then did Uchiha Madara snap out of it, retracting his powerful aura. His expression softened slightly, though it remained gloomy, and his Rinnegan eyes turned exceptionally ruthless at that moment.

"Hmph! It's nothing. Once we take this fellow on the ground to a place where humans live, we will have completely finished this mission."

At this point, Uchiha Madara shifted his attention to the target who was no longer lying on the ground waiting to be rescued.

"If I'm not mistaken, did you pull something bad? But no matter how bad it is, it should be usable, right? After all, it's a random item from the myriad worlds. Watch me; my luck definitely won't be bad."

Ignoring the still-awkward Uchiha Madara, Li Jiahao pointed out the issue directly and proceeded to open the mysterious little gift pack issued by the Dimensional Chat Group.

Golden light spilled from the package, and a pocket watch appeared.

The pocket watch carried an archaic aura, having existed for who knows how many years. Just looking at it, one could sense the weight of time it held, though its function remained unknown.

To the other two, Li Jiahao displayed a reaction even more 'shocking' than Uchiha Madara's. He, who had been laughing and joking with a normal temperament, suddenly exhibited a strong emotion—surprise, mixed with a hint of confusion.

[Item: Pocket Watch of an Unknown Era]

[Rank/Quality: Tier 5 Special Item (Extremely damaged; only core functions remain, currently equivalent to a Tier 2 item)]

[Effect: Spacetime Acceleration (can accelerate the speed of an entire area of spacetime, current limit is 100x), Spacetime Slow (can cast a field where everything recognized by the user, including the user, acts as if in a space slowed by dozens of times), Spacetime Pause (pauses spacetime based on the size of the area, currently can stop spacetime for ten seconds), Spacetime Corridor (damaged; currently can only view the future of those closely related to the self)...]

Watching Li Jiahao stand there in a daze, Uchiha Madara was already imagining that he, too, had pulled something bizarre.

However, Li Jiahao simply waved his hand to brush it off, as if he had pulled something unspeakable that he didn't want to tell the other two.

At least, that was what Uchiha Madara thought; otherwise, why be so secretive?

Of course, there was another possibility: he had hit the jackpot, a massive one at that, though the probability of that was near zero.

"Alright, mission accomplished. Everyone, let's head back to our own worlds."

Before the words had even faded, Li Jiahao's figure vanished from their sight. Seeing him leave in such a hurry only solidified Uchiha Madara's suspicions.

Following that, Zoro and Uchiha Madara were also teleported away from this dangerous world one after another.

Meanwhile, the unconscious mind of He Lingxuan, lying on the ground, was gradually clearing...

Time flowed, and the sun and moon rotated.

In the blink of an eye, it was high noon the next day. The dazzling sun emitted scorching rays, shining directly onto one side of He Lingxuan's backside as he lay in the crater.

Because he had been unconscious, He Lingxuan felt some discomfort and instinctively turned his back to the sun, curling up to sleep on his side.

Finally, after being baked by the sun for a while, He Lingxuan woke up from his slumber. The moment he regained consciousness, he felt something was wrong.

Why did he feel so chilly?

He sat up and looked down, only to discover his entire perfect body exposed in the wilderness, scorched by the sun. Upon realizing this, He Lingxuan remained frozen in place.

"Damn it, where are my clothes?!"

After a roar, He Lingxuan finally sensed that something was amiss.

According to his previous memories, he should have unleashed an inexplicable power to kill the giant tiger and then collapsed onto its corpse. Why was he in this deep crater?

Just as He Lingxuan looked left and right, a piece of information—no, two pieces of information—transmitted into his mind, causing him to fall into a state of frantic joy.

"This is a system? And a chat group?"

Without a second thought, He Lingxuan silently recited 'system' in his heart.

"I am here. The Infinite Upgrade System is at your service!"

"Host's awakening detected. Consciousness clear. Commencing rule explanation..."

"This system possesses the function to allow the host to upgrade infinitely. As long as the host slays creatures of the first magnitude or higher, you can obtain upgrade points, with a very small chance of receiving additional drop rewards."

"Furthermore, you will receive mysterious rewards the first time you slay a creature of each different magnitude. Please check your world for specific magnitude classifications."

"The host (calculated by normal state) will also receive large amounts of upgrade points for slaying creatures above your level, and additional drop rewards will be significantly increased."

"The system will also issue tasks from time to time to help the host grow rapidly. Each completed task will yield generous rewards. Whether or not to accept or complete a task is entirely up to the host."

After absorbing the vast amount of rules and knowledge provided by the Infinite Upgrade System, He Lingxuan roughly understood the specific functions of this system.

1. Killing creatures above the first magnitude as specified by the system grants upgrade points.

2. There is a first-kill gift pack, as well as a mission function.

Although it seemed simple, it made He Lingxuan incredibly excited, because relying on this system, he could survive even in this dangerous world.

Right, the system mentioned that he could check his current world; he should take a look immediately.
