Su Lin: "Coach, I'm reporting this! Someone's cheating!"
Su Lin: "Where's the referee? Where is the referee?"
Su Lin: "I'm going to smash up the bookstore first. They sold me a fake Dragon Raja."
Xiao Yan: "Please calm down, fellow netizen."
Su Lin's barrage of messages successfully drew everyone's attention in the Chat Group.
Meanwhile, the scene shown by the Dayan Pearl's Reflection had gradually reached its climax.
It was a bizarre, chaotic Monster, its tentacles swaying as its bloody maw roared.
Simply looking directly at its form caused mental discomfort. If this had not been a projected image, an ordinary person would likely have fallen into madness and chaos the instant they saw its face.
Klein understood that this was similar to the corruption brought about by mythical creatures and high-ranking Sequences in his world.
Dressed in retro leather, Lu Mingfei seized his chance amid repeated evasions. Like an experienced Hunter, every strike he made left a mark on Monster's body, while dim sacred radiance clung to its wounds.
The final battle ended in Hunter's victory.
"What are you trying to do with those slimy tentacles?" Hunter Lu Mingfei's cool voice rang out as one foot pinned down a tentacle.
Lu Mingfei looked disdainfully at the defeated foe on the ground, his greatsword piercing through the prey's body.
Wearily putting away his greatsword, Lu Mingfei dragged his heavy steps back toward the wheelchair, one step at a time.
"Finally..." Slumped in the wheelchair, Lu Mingfei adjusted his posture. He gestured at himself as though searching for a satisfactory angle, then pulled a short dagger from his backpack and aimed it at himself.
"I've had enough of this nightmare."
Seeing this, Lu Mingfei on Water Mirror Peak hurriedly switched channels. No matter what was going on in that world, if they watched that ending, he probably would not be able to sleep tonight.
"Everyone... how about we stop here?" Cold sweat beaded on Lu Mingfei's forehead. Why did these people in the Chat Group look so strange, like they wanted to dissect him?
No, I'm curious too about how those two guys from parallel worlds got transported into a game world. But what does that have to do with a rookie cultivator at Early Qi Refining like me?
Lu Mingfei could not make sense of it, nor did he want to waste brain cells thinking about it. He was merely a Qi Refining cultivator, weak, pitiful, and helpless.
At some point, Ye Fan, Zhongli, Xiao Yan, Han Li, and Su Lin had already surrounded him.
"To be honest, I'm very curious." Zhongli held his chin with one hand and studied Lu Mingfei curiously.
"Little Lu, keep going." Ye Fan placed a hand on Lu Mingfei's shoulder.
"Try to find another version that ascends to immortality and becomes an ancestor."
"..."
The image changed.
Towering buildings, reinforced concrete, dazzling lights, motorcycles and cars speeding past.
Wearing a down jacket and a black-and-white scarf, Lu Mingfei waited for the traffic light to change. He seemed to be watching the lights, yet also seemed to be looking up at the gray sky.
Finally, something normal, Lu Mingfei thought.
"Looks like Chicago." Lu Mingfei found the street somewhat familiar. There was a hot dog shop nearby, and it tasted great. Lu Mingfei and Fingel occasionally took the campus train into the city to wander around.
Cars came and went, with the occasional horn urging people along. Lu Mingfei in the image exhaled a breath of warm air and rubbed his frozen fingers.
Crystalline snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and pedestrians hurried their pace upon seeing them.
"The weather forecast said it would be sunny today."
"You might as well roll dice instead of looking at that thing."
Two white men spoke in English as they walked past Lu Mingfei.
"The light's about to change, man." Lu Mingfei saw his other self standing motionlessly in place, merely looking up at the sky, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Could this version of me have just gone through a breakup?
Oh my God, did I confess to some girl and get rejected? It couldn't be that this version of me was brave enough to confess to Nono, could it?
Or had this version of me just been dumped by his girlfriend? After thinking for two seconds, Lu Mingfei decided that his parallel-world self could not possibly have found a girlfriend and dismissed the possibility.
Su Lin felt that if this world's Lu Mingfei starred in an idol drama, he could probably land the male lead role.
That melancholy aura and those eyes...
Who knew what he had been through? Poor Lu Mingfei.
"Did I really come back?"
Lu Mingfei in the image spoke softly.
"Come back from what?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion.
"After two thousand years, I, Lu Mingfei, have finally returned to Earth."
Closing his eyes, Lu Mingfei spread his arms as if he wanted to embrace the world.
His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly.
"?"
"??"
"???"
Lu Mingfei felt that the version of himself in the image needed to visit Cassel Infirmary. The doctors there had at least graduated from Harvard Medical School, and they had all kinds of equipment. Any mental issues could be detected quickly.
But when he thought of the previous two parallel worlds, he did not dare judge the version of himself in the image. And after everything he had experienced over the past month, if he told anyone about it, would those bastards think he had lost control and lock him up?
"Heavenly Martial Sect, I, Lieyang, have repaid what I owed you."
"From this day onward, there will be no more Lieyang the Martial Immortal, only..."
"Martial Immortal Lu Mingfei!"
The instant his eyes opened, his golden pupils displayed supreme majesty.
In an instant, the snow filling the sky seemed to have been paused. Vehicles and pedestrians froze, and the whole world fell silent, utterly still.
With both hands clasped behind his back, Lu Mingfei gave a cold snort and turned to take a step.
The next moment, he had actually shifted onto the rooftop of a skyscraper.
"Lu Mingze, there are still many matters between us that remain unresolved."
"This body from the past has not been tempered. Next, I need to find a place to bring its physical capabilities up to par."
Mana surged, nearly tangible mana stirring the hem of his clothes. Lu Mingfei looked down over the city below, a smile curling across his lips.
Han Li was silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps I wouldn't even withstand one move from him."
Xiao Yan sensed that power and refuted him. "I don't think there's any need to wonder."
Ye Fan glanced at the Dayan Pearl in Lu Mingfei's hand and asked Su Lin, "Is there any way to communicate with that Lu Mingfei? I feel like we could get some pretty good cultivation techniques from him."
"...Su Lin? Are you listening to me?" Ye Fan noticed that Su Lin's eyes had gone blank, still fixed on the image produced by the Reflection.
"Is it really that serious? Though I also think Lu Mingfei's parallel worlds are a little absurd..."
What do you mean, is it that serious?
I, Su Lin, am a transmigrator and reincarnator, a member of the Chat Group, and a system host. What haven't I seen?
I really hadn't seen this before!
Although he had been busy with work after graduating from university and rarely read novels anymore, even before transmigrating, he remembered correctly: Dragon Raja was urban fantasy, not urban cultivation fantasy!
It made no sense. It was impossible to explain. Could it be that Lu Mingfei from the original work was actually the weakest version?!
And those first two who had transmigrated into other worlds...
Scratching his hair, Su Lin suddenly turned to look at Lu Mingfei. Why had he taken out the Dayan Pearl just now? It was to let Lu Mingfei see what a happy parallel world where he lived well was like.
So how had it turned into Lu Mingfei dominating everything?
He felt even more overpowered than someone like me with a system.
"Switch again!"
"He's worked up." Xiao Yan said from the side.
