"They met by chance along the way, were rescued by the Protagonist, and from then on, she devoted herself to following Protagonist until the very late stages of the story."
"He remained loyal to the Protagonist, shielding Protagonist from harm on numerous occasions, and earned the Protagonist's deep trust."
At this moment Ling Yi suddenly gasped.
"Wow, the endings of these two novels actually converge on the same major event."
"The tide of Genki, the withering of Myriad Worlds —if the endings of the other seven novels all follow this pattern, then things will get interesting."
"It's understandable that the author portrayed these Protagonist as so dark."
"Wow, using nine novels to complete such a major setting, that's insane!"
Ling Yi had always felt that the author of this novel world was somewhat ill.
How can the Protagonist be written so darkly?
But now it seems they did it on purpose.
"Could this author be thinking...? But how could that be?"
"If the author could really do that, wouldn't all of us authors be invincible?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"But aren't I, a time traveler, the best proof?"
Ling Yi swapped places with the original body; he transmigrated into the novel's world, while the original body in the novel transmigrated into the real world.
"Hehe, this is interesting."
The next morning, when Ling Yi arrived at the school, he found that the school gate was surrounded by people from the Martial Special Bureau.
Ling Yi scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense and was immediately filled with disbelief.
A corpse lay at the school gate.
A corpse wasn't anything to be shocked about; what truly shocked Ling Yi was the identity of the corpse.
Xu Mo!
Ling Yi his Spiritual Sense to observe for a moment and finally confirmed that it was not fake; this was indeed Xu Mo's corpse.
But how could Xu Mo have died at the school gate?
You have to understand, Xu Mo is the Protagonist!
Is filming wrapped up just like that?
Isn't that incredible?
A voice rang out beside Ling Yi.
Ling Yi turned his head and saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged Uncle.
She was wearing a gray tracksuit, and her hair was a little messy.
He had a slightly fish-like mouth and some wrinkles on his face, making him look to be in his forties or fifties.
He has a very ordinary appearance.
But his eyes were quite unique.
It seems that these eyes hold an endless Abyss.
Ling Yi didn't even need to look at the dynamic Map to basically guess the real person's identity.
"You killed Xu Mo?" Ling Yi asked.
"I didn't originally intend to kill him, but this kid has too many Karma entanglements with my daughter."
"If he doesn't die, the Karma will be difficult to sever, and my daughter's future will inevitably be filled with sorrow."
Do you think he deserved to die?
Ling Yi nodded. "He truly deserves to die."
In the original storyline, Lin Yuan suffered a lot while following Xu Mo.
Putting everything else aside, Lin Yuan was practically Xu Mo's personal tool for improving his cultivation.
Based on this alone, Lin Aotian's killing of Xu Mo was perfectly justified.
The fact that Xu Mo died like this still surprised Ling Yi.
But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem particularly unexpected.
Although Lin Aotian was killed by Xu Mo in the original storyline, Lin Aotian was still Big Shot in the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
In truth, it transcends all heavens and is not bound by the Five Elements.
Xu Mo is only the Protagonist of the Ancient Star Realm, not the Protagonist of All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
It might be troublesome if someone else were to kill Xu Mo.
But if Lin Aotian wanted to kill Xu Mo, there would be absolutely no problem with it.
"Speak, kid, what exactly did you want me to do in Dafeng City? I'll help you this once, since you helped me find my daughter."
"Two objectives: one is to hope that you, senior, will spare the Ancient Star Realm; the other is the Guixu Secret Realm!"
Ling Yi didn't hide anything and went straight to the point, revealing his true purpose.
This is most likely Lin Aotian's true form.
There's no need to lie to him.
"I can agree to your first condition. As for the Guixu Secret Realm, you still have three years. You should be able to handle it yourself by then, right?"
Lin Aotian looked Ling Yi up and down and said.
"I've been leaving the Ancient Star Realm for a while now, and I don't know when I'll be back."
"That's why I'm troubling you, senior, to take care of Blue Star."
Lin Aotian looked at Ling Yi with deep eyes.
To be honest, he was very curious about Ling Yi.
Because he couldn't see through Ling Yi; this kid possessed a terrifying, yet hidden, power.
Once this power is unleashed, it will be devastating, and even he will find it difficult to survive.
Is this someone without Karmic Luck? Or is this some kind of Reincarnation Big Shot?
Otherwise, why would Lin Aotian be so polite to Ling Yi?
Regardless of the circumstances, Ling Yi ultimately outmaneuvered him.
Given his temperament, he wouldn't waste words upon meeting you; he would have slapped you to death long ago.
So what if Xu Mo was a chosen one, Child of Karmic Luck?
He could just kill without warning, couldn't he?
In Lin Aotian's eyes, the Child of Karmic Luck is worthless.
He's seen too much.
Ling Yi had no idea that Lin Aotian was so wary of him at this moment.
If Ling Yi had known, she would have directly asked him for the Source Devouring Technique.
Why would we need to go to the Golden Crow Realm?
"Okay, I agree to this as well." Lin Aotian nodded.
"Hasn't Senior acknowledged Lin Yuan yet?"
Upon hearing Ling Yi's question, Lin Aotian suddenly became somewhat awkward.
He sighed and said, "I don't know how to recognize them right now."
"I wonder if this girl will acknowledge me as her father?"
The original storyline involving Lin Aotian and Lin Yuan was quite entertaining.
The dignified Lord of the Devil Baleful Energy Hall went to great lengths to reunite with his daughter.
To avoid being too abrupt, Lin Aotian used many methods, which resulted in numerous misunderstandings between him and Lin Yuan.
It's both laughable and absurd.
When they finally recognized each other, it was also the time when Lin Aotian was tricked to death by Xu Mo.
In the end, Lin Yuan never called Lin Aotian "Dad".
He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
The ending was quite poignant.
In the original storyline, Lin Aotian tried to kill Xu Mo multiple times, but Lin Yuan stopped him each time.
This is precisely why the conflict between Lin Yuan and Lin Aotian is deepening.
Lin Yuan was influenced by Xu Mo's Intelligence-Lowering Aura and only trusted Xu Mo.
Even though Xu Mo killed Lin Aotian in front of her, Lin Yuan always believed it was Lin Aotian's fault, not Xu Mo's.
When Ling Yi saw this scene, he genuinely couldn't hold back his tears.
On one hand, they were amazed by the terrifying power of Xu Mo's Intelligence-Lowering Aura; on the other hand, they were speechless at how hopelessly stupid Lin Yuan had become.
Xu Mo is now dead, killed by Lin Aotian.
It's a case of Karma and effect, and karma will get its just desserts!
"Senior, you'd better go directly to Lin Yuan and explain everything clearly. Since she's your daughter, there's no need to hide anything, or it will only lead to more misunderstandings."
Ling Yi advised.
If someone else had said it, Lin Aotian would have just listened, but if Ling Yi had said it, he would have seriously considered it.
Competence changes attitude; attitude determines recognition.
After learning that Ling Yi was no ordinary person, Lin Aotian's mindset involuntarily underwent some Changes.
"You're right. If this succeeds, we will certainly reward you handsomely."
"Then I wish you success, senior."
"Thank you for your kind words."
"You're busy, senior. I'm going to class now."
"Good!"
Ling Yi bypassed the crowd and entered the school.
There were hardly any people in the classroom at the moment; many students were watching the commotion at the school gate.
However, Jiang Yao was there.
At this moment, Jiang Yao was leaning on the windowsill, looking out the window.
Her already tall figure was perfectly showcased by this movement.
Jiang Yao's headlights weren't very bright, but her taillights were!
Ling Yi dared not look any longer; it was simply too dazzling.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Ling Zhan.
He then stroked his chin and began to consider what he needed to do next.
Should we go to the Golden Crow Realm now, or wait a while?
After a moment's thought, Ling Yi decided to wait until Liu Yun arrived before making a decision.
The Protagonist of the second novel is from Liu Yun's family. Having Liu Yun, a native of the Golden Crow Realm, as a guide is much better than searching blindly on your own.
Although the Golden Crow Realm is only a small world, it is still a universe in itself.
Even if you go to the Golden Crow Realm, it will be very troublesome to find people without a guide.
Having made his decision, Ling Yi stopped thinking about it.
I'm going to prepare to be a good student for the next period of time.
There are only two crises on Blue Star.
One was the beast tide, but Jiang Wuyang has already been exonerated, and without the Demon God Sect causing trouble, the beast tide naturally disappeared.
The second crisis is the Guixu Secret Realm.
Now, thanks to Lin Aotian, the real trouble with the Guixu Secret Realm has been resolved.
Moreover, with Lin Aotian around, even if Blue Star faces a major crisis, they can easily overcome it.
However, we need to save up more Yuan Crystal during this period.
Ling Yi happened to know of two places where a considerable amount of Yuan Crystal were stored.
One is the secret realm of the college entrance examination three months later.
Another one is a place called the Panshi Secret Realm.
The Panshi Secret Realm is not near Dafeng City, but in Beihai City.
The best High Martial Arts University in the Ancient Country is located in Beihai City.
In the original storyline, Xu Mo was admitted to Beihai High Martial Arts University.
The first trial in the secret realm after entering the academy is this Panshi Secret Realm.
It was in this Panshi Secret Realm that Xu Mo unexpectedly found a Yuan Crystal mine and harvested a large amount of Yuan Crystal.
Once Ling Yi harvests the Yuan Crystal from these two locations, it will be enough for him to use for a long time.
"Do you think Xu Mo has something wrong with his head?"
Jiang Yao turned around and asked Lian Ye.
"How would I know, you're asking me?"
"Even if he did, he didn't have to die at the school gate, did he? And he even killed himself."
Hmm, Xu Mo killed himself?
Ling Yi hadn't really noticed this.
However, it's impossible that he killed himself; it must have been Lin Aotian who did it.
"I saw it before; they used a lot of force, they practically smashed his head."
"Do you think Xu Mo might be innocent, and this is a way for him to prove his innocence by dying?" Jiang Yao said to Ling Yi with a mocking look.
Why don't you say he couldn't bear the psychological condemnation and committed suicide out of fear of punishment?
Jiang Yao knew that Ling Yi had cultivated the Heaven Devouring Art Heaven Devouring Art, but she also knew that Xu Mo had not.
She was joking when she said that.
But Lin Yuan, who happened to be passing by the door, overheard these words.
She glanced at Ling Yi in the classroom.
"Could there be something else going on? Could Xu Mo really be wronged?"
"Could this be related to Ling Yi?"
If Ling Yi knew Lin Yuan's thoughts, he would probably be so angry he'd vomit blood.
You've experienced it firsthand, seen it with your own eyes, and heard it with your own ears—it's all irrefutable evidence, so why are you still doubting it?
What are you doubting? You're hopeless.
