"Qin Xiaoyou! Are you even human?!"
Qin Feng's eyes snapped open!
Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes brimmed with shock, rage, and disappointment...
It hurt. It hurt so much!
He had never dreamed that the little sister he had raised and cared for would do something like this to him.
"I thought you were just obsessed with celebrities and going through a rebellious phase. But..."
Recalling what had just happened, Qin Feng felt utterly chilled!
No one knew that he had transmigrated.
He had become an orphan upon arriving in this world, only to be adopted by a married couple.
When he was five, the couple had a daughter and named her Qin Xiaoyou.
Fortunately, his parents hadn't favored their younger daughter. They had treated both children equally.
Qin Feng had also taken extra care of his sister. Especially after their parents died in a car accident when he was eighteen, he had shouldered the burden of making a living and caring for her alone.
Everything changed the year Qin Xiaoyou started college.
The [Godforsaken] Game descended!
People could enter the game and kill monsters to gain lifespan. They could even spend that lifespan to bring their in-game abilities into reality!
The powerful could tear planes and tanks apart with their bare hands. Even withstanding nuclear bombs with their bodies was no longer a fantasy.
From then on, the world changed drastically, and calamity spread!
While countless people struggled just to survive, Qin Feng had dragged his sister Qin Xiaoyou along, overcoming obstacle after obstacle to become one of the world's top hundred powerhouses!
Finally, Qin Feng had obtained a mysterious Ancient God Eyeball from the Ancient God Ruins!
At last, he had earned the right to climb to the pinnacle...
He had never imagined that his sister Qin Xiaoyou would turn on him!
Qin Feng had never guarded himself against his sister.
She had mixed Soul-Wandering Water into his drink. After drinking it, Qin Feng had completely lost the ability to move...
Then Qin Xiaoyou had stood before him and said flatly:
"Ever since we were kids, all you've done is boss me around and control me."
"You won't let me do this. You won't let me do that."
"I feel suffocated every single day! I've never known even a moment of freedom!"
"I know you hate Song Fei. You won't let me go to his meet-and-greets or his concerts... How much have I missed because of you?"
"But guess what? My dear Song Fei reached out to me today..."
"It turns out he's known about me all along."
"But because of you, he knew we could never be together. Only now have I finally gotten my chance..."
"Once he gets your Ancient God Eyeball, he'll be stronger than you!"
"Then you won't be able to stop us from being together!"
Qin Feng's Soul Wandering drifted outside his body, forced to watch it all.
His sister Qin Xiaoyou, dressed in white, had gouged out both his eyes with her own hands!
Excitement and joy had filled her pretty face. "Don't worry. Song Fei said he'd find you new eyes. As long as you don't stop us from being together..."
After taking Qin Feng's eyes, Qin Xiaoyou had left the room in high spirits.
What she hadn't known, however...
Was that Song Fei had added deadly toxins to the Soul-Wandering Water he had given her!
Shortly after she left, Qin Feng had died!
When Qin Feng opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in bed.
It was a simple, tidy little bedroom.
A gentle breeze stirred the curtains beside the floor-to-ceiling window, and warm sunlight slipped through the gaps, spilling across his blanket...
"Have I gone back... nine years?"
"Was I reborn?"
Qin Feng sat up in bed, looking a little dazed.
As he recalled everything from his previous life, his expression turned cold.
"Song Fei..."
The man was a celebrity in Great Xia.
Qin Xiaoyou had followed him since he was still a trainee. Like many celebrity fans, she had been fanatical and rebellious.
That was why Qin Feng had kept her in line.
"I wouldn't let you stay out all night, go to bars, or smoke."
"That made you feel suffocated?"
"After the Godforsaken Game arrived, I wouldn't let you team up with strangers. To keep you safe, I took you leveling from start to finish..."
"And you thought that robbed you of your freedom?"
Qin Feng still remembered.
On the day the Godforsaken Game descended, Qin Xiaoyou had been fighting with him.
Song Fei had a concert in the neighboring city, and Qin Xiaoyou had wanted to buy a ticket and go. Qin Feng had refused because she had an advanced calculus exam that day!
Skip an exam to go to a concert?
How could Qin Feng possibly agree?
In the end...
Qin Xiaoyou had sneaked off with her best friend anyway.
Qin Feng had intended to wait for her to apologize, but the very next day, the Godforsaken Game descended!
Worried about Qin Xiaoyou's safety, Qin Feng had found her and made the first move to reconcile...
Under Qin Feng's protection, Qin Xiaoyou had barely suffered any setbacks or hardships in that age of calamity. Many people had envied her for having a brother like him.
But who could have imagined that, in her heart, the brother who had cared for her for nearly twenty years mattered less than some song-and-dance performer?
"My dear Song Fei?"
"Heh."
"Qin Xiaoyou, I never imagined you could be so stupid. If you'd taken the Ancient God Eyeball and used it yourself, that would have been one thing."
"But giving it to someone else..."
"Did you really think Song Fei knew you? That he liked you?"
Qin Feng laughed coldly.
After the Godforsaken Game descended, the former celebrity Song Fei had done reasonably well for himself. Still, he had only been a second-rate fighter, not worth even one of Qin Feng's fingers.
For nine years, Song Fei had never had anything to do with Qin Feng or Qin Xiaoyou.
Yet the moment Qin Feng obtained the Ancient God Eyeball, the man came knocking!
Clearly, his only goal had been the Ancient God Eyeball!
And Qin Xiaoyou had naively believed that he wanted to be with her...
"In my last life, I missed out on too much to protect you."
"I missed out on so many people, so many opportunities."
"I gave up on exploring so many dangerous areas because I didn't want to put you at risk."
"If not for that, I might have gone beyond the world's top hundred and reached even greater heights..."
"If you think my care and protection are shackles, then so be it."
"In this life..."
"I'll act as though I never had a sister."
"Without you weighing me down, things will only get easier!"
If anyone else had done this to Qin Feng, he would never have let them off lightly after being reborn.
But Qin Xiaoyou...
She was, after all, his adoptive parents' biological daughter.
For the sake of his deceased parents, Qin Feng was willing to give her a chance to live. But this would be her only chance...
From now on, she could fend for herself!
As for Song Fei, he had naturally earned a place on Qin Feng's kill list!
The moment Qin Feng decided to cast off the burden that was Qin Xiaoyou, he felt instantly lighter, as though everything had suddenly become clear.
He hadn't felt this relaxed in all these years.
Qin Feng looked forward to seeing just how high he could climb without Qin Xiaoyou dragging him down.
Just then!
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Qin Feng's mind. At the same time, a string of mysterious symbols appeared before his eyes!
[Activating the Eye of Judgment...] [You have obtained the authority of judgment!]
The cold voice made Qin Feng pause.
The Eye of Judgment?
The authority of judgment?
Was this...
The Ancient God Eyeball he had obtained?
"The Eye of Judgment is an Eldritch God's relic."
"It was already bound to me when I obtained it."
"Even gouging out my eyes couldn't take it away."
"So..."
"This thing came back with me when I was reborn?"
In his previous life, Qin Feng had never managed to activate it, no matter what he tried.
He had never expected that, after his rebirth, the Ancient God Eyeball would actually activate!
