Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

"I told you before," Qin Chuan said, "that Secret Techniques are not unchangeable."

"So Spirit Descent is also not unchanging."

Ji Huai, with one hand wrapped in bandages and the other holding a cup of tea, sat boldly on a couch in the resting room. Looking at Qin Chuan across from him, he said, "Heaven Burying Slash is a completely new ability I've comprehended, building on the foundation of my original Infinite Tomb of Soldiers."

"It's just that this strike is too extreme, and the backlash on my body is severe."

"Teacher Ji, your hand…" Qin Chuan looked at Ji Huai's bandaged arm with some concern, "Can't item-class healing potions heal it?"

"It's no use," Ji Huai shook his head slightly, "My hand isn't simply injured; it's because I've exerted an extreme Sword Force, allowing it to penetrate into the flesh and bones of my arm. As long as the Sword Force remains, the wound cannot heal."

"The natural dispersal of Sword Force will take about two days."

"So for the next two days, I can't use Spirit Descent again, or it will stimulate the Sword Force further, leading to irreversible consequences."

"War fanatic, you are too impulsive," Chang Jinze sighed from the side, "that strike not only failed to achieve anything, but also crippled yourself."

"If it weren't for Dalaisai's ability to silently create clones, he would be dead," Qin Chuan said, shaking his head slightly, "Who could have foreseen such an accident?"

"I just feel it's a pity," Chang Jinze said apologetically, glancing at Ji Huai, then quickly changed the subject, "Dalaisai said that when the entrance to Dream World opens, he won't have time to bother with Blue Star. How credible do you think that is?"

"Zero," Qin Chuan replied, shaking his head slightly, "Dalaisai is the first Otherworld Clan we have actually encountered; we don't even have a reference to verify his words."

"So whether what he says is true or false, I'll treat it as false."

The reason Qin Chuan didn't care to listen to Dalaisai at all during their encounter was for this reason.

Cripple first, then judge whether what he says is true.

"No problem with that approach, but we can't just, because Dalaisai might still be on Blue Star, prevent all players from entering Dream World," Chang Jinze sighed.

Qin Chuan was also silent.

If a large number of players don't enter Dream World, and their bodies lose consciousness in Dream World, it could lead to a sharp decline in Blue Star's Extraordinary strength overnight.

Let alone others, even Qin Chuan himself could not afford to stay out of Dream World for a long time.

Although he was safeguarded by Yue Li, his security in Dream World wouldn't be a problem, but if he did not enter Dream World, his strength would stagnate.

"Since we are not sure whether what Dalaisai says is true or false, let's use our own way to verify it," Su Yuanshan's voice came from outside the resting room, and he walked in slowly, "Today there was one B-rank, one C-rank, and three D-rank instances descending into reality."

"Now both the B-rank and C-rank have been destroyed, leaving one D-rank that has descended into Yanhuang," Su Yuanshan found a seat and spoke in a solemn voice, "I've already arranged people to imprison the Otherworldly creatures within the instance channel."

"We're not in a hurry to destroy this instance channel."

"Tonight after midnight, we'll see what's going on with those Otherworldly creatures, and whether Dalaisai can act on Blue Star during the opening period of Dream World's entrance will naturally become clear."

"Once we're certain there's no problem, then we can sleep, it won't delay us for too long."

Hearing Su Yuanshan's arrangements, Qin Chuan and the others nodded slightly.

It was much safer this way.

Su Yuanshan and the others were all at the Dragon Gate Guild No. 1, so as long as their companions lay down on time, those who lose consciousness for a short time would not be in too much danger.

With Yue Li present, Qin Chuan's side also had no issues.

If he wanted to be extra secure, he could completely contact Zheng Xiaoyu in reality, and after she entered Dream World, have her relay the message to Yue Li.

"Now that the issue in Indonesia is resolved, it's not convenient for us to continue staying here. We'll return to our country later," Su Yuanshan said, then smiled, "I managed to secure a substantial amount of aid money, time to bleed those stubborn folks dry."

"After we get back, rewards will be distributed," Qin Chuan said. The atmosphere in the rest room immediately lightened up a bit.

The Special Affairs Group had taken the initiative to propose destroying the passageway, but the Indonesian government was unwilling. After their failure, they came back sheepishly asking for help, so naturally, the initial price was no longer on the table.

Extra money would have to be added.

"To avoid any possible unforeseen circumstances, let's not return to Yanjing tonight," Su Yuanshan paused slightly, "We'll stay in Zengmu Ansha for the night and head back to Yanjing tomorrow morning."

Zengmu Ansha, the southernmost island of Yanhuang Country.

Staying there meant they could respond immediately if Dalaisai appeared.

"Oh, right," Su Yuanshan glanced at Qin Chuan, his expression somewhat strange. "Luo, it looks like we won't be able to prevent your identity from being exposed."

"Those Transcendents who were watching the battle filmed your fight with Dalaisai, and the video clarity is quite high."

"It's now being uploaded all over the foreign internet. Although we have the Special Affairs Group suppressing it domestically, it's becoming very difficult to control under these circumstances."

Qin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, caught between laughter and tears.

"Let things take their natural course then."

-----------------

On the high seas of the Pacific Ocean.

A naked man stepped out of the sea and onto an unremarkable island, possessing a physique similar to that of humans, save for a small patch of blue scales at the corner of his eyes, with no other differences apparent.

Looking around, he began to mutter to himself in the Otherworldly language.

"That guy called Luo still poses some threat."

He suddenly leaped, swiftly ascending the steep cliffs shaped by years of waves, and entered a cave. He sat cross-legged as the sound of waves crashed against the cliffs, his power seemingly growing and stabilizing continuously.

Forcing his strength down to Epic Rank had still been a bit too risky.

Even though he had forcefully increased his power by devouring Demon Beast flesh and blood, such a boost was unstable, and far from enough to return him to his former peak.

He had thought it would be sufficient.

Yet, in this new world, there were already native players with such strength.

So, at the last moment, when Luo and that fight enthusiast together forced him toward the instance gateway, he decisively chose to retreat.

Although the Forbidden Technique he used caused his newly regained strength to plummet once again, losing those forcibly increased, disordered powers might not be a bad thing.

Besides, he really didn't dare to compete in Talent with his opponent.

To be among the strongest echelon in the new world, Luo's Dungeon Talent must be one of the very strongest Gold Talents.

In comparison, himself...

If he had a Talent that was on par with Luo's, he wouldn't be merely at Legend Rank.

Feeling the concentration of Extraordinary Power surging around him, Dalaisai's eyes flickered.

In just three days, he could return to his peak.

By then, he would be the Tide Demon Lord in his complete form.

He was really looking forward to his next battle with Luo.
