Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

The Demon Sword suddenly emitted an unprecedentedly violent tremor and buzzing.

The sword's poignant moonlight and ghostly aura melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, replaced by magnificent divine power and pure yang energy.

The countless vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts imprisoned within the sword gradually manifested under the holy light. The pain and resentment on their faces gradually dissipated, turning into tears of liberation and peace. Their figures gradually faded and became transparent, guided by the invisible power of reincarnation, and fled to a new life.

Only the original consciousness of the sword spirits Liu Xiangxiang and Liu Yue'er was gently enveloped, purified, and tempered by the divine light, removing all impurities and negative emotions, leaving only the purest spiritual essence, which completely merged and sublimated with the sword body.

The entire sword, from hilt to tip, is resplendent.

It's completely new, as if it has been recast and transformed!

(This equipment is bound to player Lin Yu and cannot be dropped, stolen, or looted in any way. Other players besides Lin Yu cannot use it.)

"Good." Lin Yu commented lightly, his wrist turning slightly as he adjusted to the newly revamped Demon-Slaying Sword. The divine light flowing across the sword perfectly matched his aura.

The next moment, he took a step forward, his figure seemingly merging into the golden light, and in an instant appeared outside the strange dragon's body, hovering high above the Fallen Dragon Abyss, facing the horrified and terrified head of the emperor from afar.

At this moment, Lin Yu was enveloped in endless divine light, like a human-shaped sun, dispelling the darkness and miasma of the canyon.

Standing atop a divine eagle, his eyes gleamed like lightning. Holding a divine sword, he exuded an aura of power that dominated heaven and earth. His third eye on his forehead was half-open, with golden light flowing around it. His majestic gaze was like a tangible spear of judgment, piercing the emperor's head and causing his skin to scorch. The millions of eyeballs that made up the dragon's eyes trembled violently, trying to close and dodge.

"Playing tricks! I am the Son of Heaven, die!" The emperor roared hysterically, his voice filled with bluster but his heart was filled with cowardice.

It suddenly roused its massive dragon body, frantically squeezing and devouring the remaining power within its body, condensing a monstrous resentment and death energy, transforming it into a gigantic claw that blotted out the sky and was composed of countless painful faces and pitch-black tentacles, fiercely grabbing at Lin Yu!

However, faced with this extremely evil attack that was enough to tear apart mountains and annihilate cities, Lin Yu simply raised the Demon-Slaying Sword indifferently and swung it forward seemingly casually.

There was no earth-shattering energy explosion; instead, a finely condensed golden line flashed by, silently meeting the giant claw.

Sizzle—!

Like a hot knife cutting into solidified grease, or like light dispelling darkness.

The pitch-black giant claw was effortlessly cleaved in two by the golden thread, instantly collapsing and dissipating. The resentment and death energy within it were completely annihilated by the purifying power contained in the sword light, turning into nothingness without even causing a ripple.

"What?!" The madness on the emperor's disfigured face was completely replaced by boundless fear, and his huge pupils contracted to the size of pinholes.

Lin Yu gave him no more chances, and the half-open vertical eye on his forehead suddenly opened completely.

hum!

A dazzling golden beam of light shot out instantly, enveloping the entire eerie dragon like a net.

Under the divine light of the Heavenly Eye, the enormous body of the Ghost Dragon, forcibly fused together by billions of vengeful spirits, began to undergo incredible changes.

The countless vengeful spirits that made up its body quickly lost their pain and contortions, turning into peace and liberation. Their figures emitted a soft white light, and like dandelions, they detached from the dragon's body and rose up, actively entering the Heavenly Eye, transforming into purer willpower to feed back to the True Lord.

It was as if a sacred purification ritual had taken place, and the enormous body of the dragon rapidly "dissipated" in the golden light.

The emperor's head let out a desperate scream, as it could feel the very foundation of its power being uprooted and rapidly drained away.

It tried to struggle, but locked in by the True Lord's Heavenly Eye and the vast divine power, it couldn't even move a finger. It could only watch helplessly as its dragon body, painstakingly built by devouring billions of living beings, crumbled like a sandcastle.

"No!!! I am not reconciled!! I am the one who is God!!! I..." The final roar was filled with endless resentment and despair.

Lin Yu gently handed over the Demon-Slaying Sword.

The tip of the sword lightly touched the center of the giant head's brow.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The next moment, centered on the point where the sword tip landed, countless cracks spread like a spider web across the entire head and even the entire dragon's body!

Snap... Bang!!!

There was no deafening explosion, only a crisp sound like shattering glass or breaking shackles.

The diamond-level dragon, the world-destroying monster incarnate as the emperor, was completely shattered by this sword strike.

The enormous dragon's body transformed into countless golden specks of light, like a torrential rain, falling and nourishing the land.

Wherever the light rain passed, the accumulated miasma of the Fallen Dragon Abyss was completely cleansed, the broken mountain walls were rejuvenated, tender shoots sprouted from the scorched earth, and even the air was filled with a fresh, peaceful, and hopeful atmosphere.

The treacherous dragon has been executed.

Lin Yu hovered in the air, expressionless, as if he had only done a trivial and taken-for-granted little thing.

The golden feathers on his shoulders chirped merrily and clearly, as if celebrating his victory.

Suddenly, the True Lord raised his head, and the third eye on his forehead lit up again, the golden light even brighter. He looked into the deepest part of the sky in this world of "seeking immortality," his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of void barriers and the fog of rules, reaching the core of this world's origin.

At the end of the rules of that world, he "saw" the manifestation of the "Heavenly Dao" that underpinned the operation of this world.

That was a door.

A colossal, all-encompassing gate that reaches to the heavens and the earth.

The door is made up of countless wriggling eyeballs.

These eyeballs rotated in unison, coldly recording everything in the world.

This gate has lost all semblance of the majesty of the Heavenly Dao; it has long been thoroughly corrupted and distorted, becoming the source of this world's twistedness and madness.

When the monstrous dragon was destroyed and the purifying light rained down, all the eyes instantly focused on the True Lord.

His gaze was no longer just cold; it now held a hint of...greed?

"Hmph, you filthy creature, twisting the laws, do you even deserve to rule the Heavenly Dao? You merely possess its form, yet your essence is defiled." The True Lord snorted coldly, a hint of undisguised disgust and disdain flashing in his eyes.

Just as he raised the Demon Slayer Sword, preparing to slash at the eyeball, he inadvertently glanced at his pocket and sensed the presence of the Master Ball inside.

The corners of his mouth curved upwards almost imperceptibly.

There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"It's an interesting treasure, perfect, it'll save us some trouble."

Before he finished speaking, he raised the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand once more. This time, he poured all the remaining divine power he had gained after descending, along with the immense willpower he had just obtained from purifying the evil dragon, into it without reservation.

The Demon-Slaying Sword erupted with unprecedented light, its blade transforming into a real sun, and the power gathered at its tip caused the surrounding space to distort and collapse.

"open!"

A soft shout, like a decree.

The Demon-Slaying Sword slashed fiercely at the sky!

*Sizzle!*

The sky, like a fragile piece of cloth, was forcibly torn open, leaving a huge gap.

Beyond the gap, there were no longer clouds or starry skies, but rather the cold, eerie gate to heaven, composed of countless eyeballs, was revealed directly.

Seemingly enraged by this direct attack on its main body, countless sticky, slippery, black tentacles covered with suckers and mouthparts suddenly shot out from the eyeball gate, like wildly dancing venomous snakes and pythons. They passed through the spatial gap, carrying the evil intention of polluting and devouring everything, and frantically coiled towards the True Lord, trying to drag him into that door.

"You dare to be so presumptuous with the power of an ant?" The True Lord didn't even swing his sword; instead, the holy light that naturally flowed around him expanded outward slightly, forming a force field.

The tentacles that approached and came into contact with this force field screamed as if they had encountered their nemesis, and quickly melted, broke, and turned into ashes!

At the same time, he calmly reached into his pocket with his other hand and took out the Master Ball.

He weighed the "strange treasure" incongruous with the style of this painting, his gaze sweeping over the overwhelming torrent of tentacles.

Swish!

The True Lord gently exerted force and threw the Master Ball.

The Master Ball transformed into a streak of light as fast as lightning, bypassing the interception and grasping of countless tentacles, and silently touched the root of one of the thickest tentacles, the one with the most concentrated aura, which was almost connected to the core of the Eye Gate itself.

hum!

The Master Ball opened instantly, and a dazzling red light flashed.

The cold, eerie eye-shaped door seemed completely unprepared for this illogical and incomprehensible power, and it began to tremble violently in an instant, with countless eyeballs on the door simultaneously revealing expressions of horror.

They spun wildly, trying to mobilize the power of the entire world's rules to resist this terrifying, unreasonable suction.

But all is in vain.

Even a corrupted incarnation of the Heavenly Dao cannot resist the power of the Master Ball, which transcends rules and concepts to forcefully capture objects.

The red light forcibly twisted and compressed the towering eyeball, then brutally severed its connection with the world, and finally, with a "whoosh," completely sucked it into the sphere.

The sphere closed and fell from the sky, trembling slightly. Occasionally, resentful eyeballs would bulge out on its surface, but these were quickly suppressed and calmed down by the powerful binding force within the sphere.

[Notification: Special entity successfully captured: 'A corrupted aggregate of Heavenly Dao rules from the world of Seeking Immortality'.]

The system notification sounded calmly in Lin Yu's mind.

The True Lord raised his hand and the Master Ball flew back into his hand.

He sensed the immense and sinister power of rules within the sphere, which was forcibly imprisoned yet still restless. He glanced at it indifferently, casually stuffed it back into his pocket, as if he had just received an ordinary item.

After doing all this, the boundless divine light around the True Lord began to slowly recede, and the third eye between his forehead gradually closed. The divine might that surpassed all things receded like the tide.

Zhenjun gently touched the Sky-Piercing Eagle on his shoulder, then noticed the Hun Tian Cloak draped behind him, which was swaying slightly, and couldn't help but smile.

He sensed the energy within his body, then pointed a finger, and a golden light flew into the Hun Tian Cloak.

With this golden light, all the divine power within His body was completely consumed.

"The matter here is settled, and the evil has been eliminated."

The last piece of information entered Lin Yu's mind.

The next moment, the vast consciousness that controlled everything receded like a tide, and Lin Yu regained control of his body. A strong sense of weakness and exhaustion at the soul level instantly overwhelmed him, and everything went black before his eyes, almost causing him to fall from the sky.

He barely managed to steady himself, feeling the emptiness of his magical and spiritual power within his body, and then glanced at the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand.

Touching the Master Ball in his pocket, which sealed a world's Heavenly Dao and was slightly warm, he felt a sense of disorientation and unreality.

The True Lord... he's gone already? Not only did he slay the Diamond-level Ghost Dragon, but he also captured the corrupted Heavenly Dao of this world?!

He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and elation in his heart. His gaze swept over the devastated yet vibrant Fallen Dragon Abyss below, and he knew that his story in this perilous and bizarre world of "Seeking Immortality" might be about to reach an end far beyond everyone's expectations.

However, Lin Yu quickly came to his senses and ran towards the place where the human-headed dragon had died. The commotion was so loud that many people must have discovered it, and he had to collect the loot dropped by the human-headed dragon before they returned.

Lin Yu quickly arrived at his destination. Sure enough, after the human-headed dragon died, it dropped three orbs of light. Lin Yu didn't even look at them and immediately put them into his storage ring (the storage ring was a trophy from killing the eunuch earlier).

At this moment, Lin Yu could already sense a large number of powerful auras approaching.

It was clearly the group of Platinum-level powerhouses who had just run the fastest and furthest; they probably sensed the death of the human-headed dragon.

Lin Yu scoffed; these guys came back way too fast.

"Exit the game!"

There was no other way; it was too late to run away now. So Lin Yu decided to quit the game without hesitation.

As for what I told Phantom before, I would tell her in advance if I were to quit the game.

It doesn't matter, I can just make up any excuse to get rid of it. I'll say I was secretly watching the battle of the monster dragons and quit the game after seeing the human side lose.

Surely no one would think that a Gold-level character like myself could defeat a Grimm Dragon.

The only regret is that I couldn't take revenge myself and kill that crazy old woman from the Black Buddhism sect.

With a flash of white light, Lin Yu disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, shortly after Lin Yu left, several Platinum-level beings quickly returned to the battlefield.

The first to arrive were naturally the few players at the Platinum level.

The men looked at the now vibrant battlefield, their faces turning almost blue with rage.

They never expected such a bizarre thing to happen.

The diamond-level humanoid dragon was actually killed!

"Who did this? Are there diamond-level experts in our neighborhoods? That's impossible!"

The only female player among them asked incredulously.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not diamond grade."

A player with fiery red hair said with a livid face.

Why?

Several players looked at him.

"In short, it can't be diamond-grade."

The red-haired player scoffed, then turned and left.

The other players looked at each other in bewilderment, and then left as well.

Shortly after the players left, several local Platinum-level players returned to the battlefield.

They were all puzzled, not knowing what had happened after they left. The human-headed dragon had suddenly disappeared, and they hadn't even seen any signs of battle from a distance.

However, it's always a good thing that the powerful enemy is dead. They really had no other choice at the time. If the human-headed dragon hadn't died, they would have had no choice but to run away and leave the Great Qian.

The others didn't say much either, except for the Black Buddhist saintess who was being carried on the back of the Black Monk, who was looking at the sky with a puzzled expression.

The saintess frowned deeply; she didn't know why, but she felt as if something was missing.

……

The white light dissipated, but this time Lin Yu did not return to the apartment as before. Instead, he appeared in a pure white space.

"What's going on?"

Lin Yu was somewhat puzzled, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Hello, player Lin Yu."

Just as Lin Yu was wondering, a large ball of light, like a light bulb, suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"..."

Lin Yu instantly became alert and took several steps back.

"Rest assured, player Lin Yu, I am not an enemy."

The large ball of light sat quietly five meters in front of Lin Yu, and a gentle voice rang in Lin Yu's mind once again.

"...What are you?"

Lin Yu frowned as he looked at the large ball of light. After a long silence, he finally asked a question.

"I am the administrator of the 9527 community. You can call me System 9527, or simply System or Administrator."

The large sphere of light answered slowly.

"Administrator...system?"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly; this was quite a prestigious name.

A few seconds later, Lin Yu asked again, "So, Manager, what do you need me for?"

The light emanating from the large orb flickered slightly, and it replied, "It's like this, player Lin Yu. I sensed something on you that poses a great threat to the community. This thing is too dangerous, and it's also quite important to the game world, so the system needs to retrieve it."

A major threat?

Lin Yu was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly figured it out.

It seems I actually have one of these things on me.

That was the corrupted aggregate of Heavenly Dao rules that True Monarch subdued with Master Lin Yu's Master Ball.

To be honest, Lin Yu hasn't even looked at this thing closely yet.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu touched the Master Ball in his pocket.

[A Fragment of the Heavenly Dao Rules in the World of Seeking Immortality]

Category: XXX

Level: XXX

Effect: XXX

Description: A corrupted fragment of ordinary Heavenly Dao.

"..."

Looking at the panel that appeared in his mind, Lin Yu was speechless for a moment. Why was there nothing there? So the True Lord had given him a piece of trash?

"It's not that it's useless, it's just that it's of no use to you right now."

The giant ball of light suddenly spoke.

Hearing its words, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. This thing can read minds?

For a moment, Lin Yu felt a little flustered, after all, he had quite a few secrets.

"Don't worry, it's not mind reading, it just sees some of your simple thoughts. But for some weaker players, it can indeed be called mind reading."

"It's quite interesting, though. Given your abilities, I shouldn't be unable to see through your thoughts, yet I can't. It seems you have a significant opportunity ahead of you."

The large sphere gave a casual explanation.

Lin Yu remained silent and did not say anything more.

He didn't know whether he should believe the claim about the large sphere of light.

Of course, whether he believes it or not doesn't really matter, since we're at their mercy.

After gathering his thoughts for a while, Lin Yu calmed down and said, "You mean you're going to take my things back?"

"Yes."

The large sphere of light vibrated slightly.

Can I refuse?

Lin Yu said with a frown.

The giant ball of light: "Sorry, player Lin Yu."

Alright, although it didn't say what came after, Lin Yu understood what it meant.

However, Lin Yu was unwilling to hand over his possessions so easily. Regardless of whether the Heavenly Dao Aggregate Fragment was useful to him, the Master Ball that captured it was a great treasure, and he couldn't just waste it.

"Are you guys being so unreasonable? There has to be some compensation."

Lin Yu said with a grim expression.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be compensation, that's for sure."

The big ball's reply this time made Lin Yu breathe a slight sigh of relief.

He's afraid that not only will this thing be forcibly recycled, but they won't give him any compensation at all.

Lin Yu knew very well that he probably had no room to resist. Even if he was unwilling, he couldn't go against the system.

"What kind of compensation is this? After all, I used a top-tier item to capture this thing."

Lin Yu sighed and spoke.

"Don't worry about that. I will go back in time and restore your items to their original state before they were used. As for the compensation for recycling the Heavenly Dao Fragments, I can give you three options. You can consider them yourself."

①I can give you a piece of equipment that is currently at the Platinum level and can be upgraded to Epic level.

(Equipment levels: Iron, Bronze, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Obsidian, Epic, Legendary, Artifact)

②I can give you a [Forced Exit Card]. This card allows you to ignore all restrictions and force exit the game. It can be used once every three games.

③I can upgrade your game privileges to level two.
