At this moment, Lin Yu was like a butterfly caught in a spider web, only able to flutter its wings inside the room, but unable to break free of its confinement.

Lin Yu called out to the system in his mind, but found that no matter how he called, the system did not respond.

No one knew what had happened; this was the first time Lin Yu had encountered such a situation since entering the fantasy world.

At this moment, Lin Yu actually felt like he was being controlled, just like the tiger he had ruthlessly killed earlier; he seemed to have become a puppet as well.

This feeling was completely new to Lin Yu. After all, since arriving in the fantasy world, Lin Yu had been sailing smoothly and had never experienced anything like this before.

At this moment, Lin Yu seemed to have reverted to the mortal he once was living on Earth, instead of the Primordial Hall Master who could easily stir up trouble across the world.

"System? Why isn't it responding? What happened?"

Lin Yu called out to the system several more times, but the system did not respond at all. No matter how Lin Yu switched the system, the information seemed to have sunk into the sea.

Lin Yu inwardly complained that the system upgrade was really unnecessary. After the upgrade, he couldn't even receive the most basic information anymore. He really didn't know what the point of the upgrade was.

The system fell silent, but that wasn't the most terrifying situation. The most terrifying situation was that Lin Yu's own consciousness was plunged into darkness and gradually became sluggish.

All of this put Lin Yu in a somewhat passive position.

Lin Yu felt his eyelids become unusually heavy, as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing down on them, making him want to lower his eyes and sink into the endless darkness.

The surrounding time became extremely quiet. At this moment, Lin Yu felt as if he had entered a silent place. Although he could feel the wind blowing and the rain falling, he could not open his eyes and could only rely on his senses to perceive everything around him.

This feeling was extremely uncomfortable, and Lin Yu's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

Gradually, Lin Yu seemed to get used to this uncomfortable feeling. In this world, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

This moment seemed even more difficult than when he was inside the puppet tiger's belly.

Hehehe... hehehe...

A childlike laugh echoed in Lin Yu's mind. At that moment, he felt utterly exhausted and didn't even have time to react to the sound of the laughter.

Gradually, Lin Yu completely lost consciousness. He didn't know where he was or why he was there.

Suddenly, Lin Yu felt a cool sensation on his face. He opened his eyes again and found that the world had returned to its original state.

This place... seems to be the world of the Phoenix Ancestral Sea. The sky is blue and the land is green, just like what Lin Yu saw in the Primordial Chaos Space before.

"Hoo..." Lin Yu took a deep breath. He had just thought he was about to fall into an endless sleep, but he didn't expect to be awakened by a few drops of rain.

Thinking about it carefully, the rain really came at the right time. If it hadn't fallen on his face before he completely lost consciousness, he might have really passed out.

"?" Lin Yu then noticed a small child squatting next to him.

The little girl, with red hair and red eyes, wearing an adorable dress, was looking at Lin Yu with her chin resting on her hand. Although she didn't speak, Lin Yu seemed to see the confusion in her eyes.

"Why are you lying here! This is forbidden territory of my clan. The team leader told me before that no one is allowed to come in." The little girl's clear voice echoed in Lin Yu's ears.

Lin Yu turned around and saw the little girl's angelic face. He couldn't help but ask, "Did you save me just now?"

When Lin Yu opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was extremely hoarse. He only remembered that he felt like he was about to collapse, as if all the strength in his body was being drained away.

At that moment, I felt like a fish out of water, about to die from dehydration, already on the verge of death under the sunlight.

Was that drop of water from the little girl?

How did she know that a few drops of water could wake her from her coma?

"You can't sleep here, you know. Many people who come here end up getting into inexplicably muddy water," the little girl said, pouting.

"Those few drops of water you just shed weren't ordinary drops; they were unicorn tears. Only with them can you wake up."

"Once you fall into a deep sleep, something will invisibly dissolve your cultivation and drain your power, so no matter how profound your cultivation is, it will be useless."

"Now you know how powerful this place is, right?"

"Next time, you won't ignore your parents' advice and show up in places you shouldn't be."

As she said this, the little girl patted Lin Yu's head in a very professional manner, and her tone was quite mature.

Feeling a little embarrassed by the little girl patting his head, Lin Yu smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Yes, you're welcome." The little girl nodded.

"Little girl, can you tell me why I'm here, and what your name is?" Lin Yu continued to ask.

With his gentle and refined appearance, he could be quite charming to young girls, but unlike this particular girl, Lin Yu ended up getting the short end of the stick.

The little girl wrinkled her nose in disgust and said with dissatisfaction, "I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm an adult."

"You shouldn't touch people's heads like that, it's not right," the little girl said, pointing to Lin Yu's hand on her head.

Lin Yu had no choice but to awkwardly withdraw his hand, thinking to himself, "This girl is quite stingy. She clearly touched my head earlier, and I didn't say anything."

"Okay, I won't touch your head then," Lin Yu said. "But please tell me your name, otherwise how can I thank you for saving my life? Don't you think so?"

Lin Yu said with a smile, actually he wasn't really curious about the little girl, he just wanted to get more information.

Lin Yu had not forgotten that the reason she came to the Phoenix Ancestral Sea was because Feng Lingling's aura had disappeared, and to find out where the ancient Phoenix Clan's fragments of mending the heavens were.

After waking up, Lin Yu talked to the little girl while mentally summoning the system.

"Ding! The system has been awakened!" A crisp sound rang out.
