Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The city of pianos, the music academy.

The small grove on campus is quiet and secluded. Sunlight filters through the layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The surrounding vegetation is lush and green.

A six-winged figure silently appeared here; it was Miya, who had withdrawn from the main battlefield.

She came here because she detected subtle fluctuations in the laws governing this area.

A fragment of the laws of music is hidden here.

Following the faint aura of law, Miya's gaze slowly moved downwards, finally settling on the ground beneath a large tree.

An orange cat was sprawled out in the shade of a tree, fast asleep, its limbs stretched out casually, looking lazy and relaxed.

The little one was breathing evenly, sound asleep, completely unaware of the impending crisis.

Miya frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

What level of treasure is the Fragment of the Laws of Music?

That was a supreme opportunity that resounded throughout the heavens, and countless geniuses spent their entire lives frantically vying for it.

Even the emperor would be tempted.

But now, someone has actually sealed such a precious treasure inside the body of a lowly being that has not yet developed intelligence.

Two guesses arose in her mind.

Could it be that someone had foreseen Lord Tianlai's plans and was deliberately using this clandestine method to obstruct them?

Or perhaps, this was just an unintentional accident from beginning to end, simply a coincidence?

After a brief moment of contemplation, Miya stopped dwelling on unnecessary speculation.

She walked slowly to the orange cat's side, extended her slender, fair hand, and gently placed it on the cat's back.

A soft, holy light rippled from his palm, and a gentle, restrained force of attraction slowly began to circulate.

She patiently peeled away the fragments of the laws of music sealed within the cat's body.

Time passed by, second by second.

A fragment, imbued with a faint, melodious aura, slowly floated out of the orange cat's body and landed steadily in Miya's palm.

The moment the fragment of the law left the body, the orange cat, which had been sleeping peacefully, instantly lost all signs of life.

The fluffy, soft down quickly dries and falls off, and the plump, vibrant body withers and shrivels at a visible rate.

In just a few breaths, the once vibrant and lively life was completely transformed into a withered corpse.

A gentle breeze swept through the forest, and the fragile, withered cat carcass shattered, turning into dust that scattered and drifted away with the wind, disappearing into the world without leaving a trace.

Miya stared in astonishment at the bizarre scene before her.

She stood there for a moment, her mind racing, and soon she figured out the reason.

"So that's how it is."

She murmured softly, a growing chill in her eyes.

Some people deliberately seal fragments of the laws of music into the bodies of beings whose lifespan is nearing its end and who should have perished.

Relying on the last remaining meager life force of the living beings, the power of the laws sealed within the fragments is worn away.

This method of attenuation is so slow that almost no one can detect it.

But over time, the original mark that Lord Tianlai originally imprinted on each fragment will be gradually worn away and erased.

Once the mark completely dissipates, this fragment of law, coveted by all the heavens, will become an ownerless treasure, breaking free from all predetermined control.

Having figured out this meticulously planned scheme, Miya's expression turned completely cold.

Who is behind this grand scheme?

In such a secretive and lengthy manner, they secretly thwarted Lord Tianlai's plans.

A bolder guess arose in her mind.

Besides this fragment of the Law of Music, what about the other fragments?

"Could it be that he was also...?"

Thinking of this, Miya's eyes sharpened, and she didn't linger for another moment.

She must retrieve all the fragments of the laws and find out whether this was a coincidence or intentional.

Just as she was about to leave, the sky began to move.

She looked up, her gaze fixed on the spatial rift.

The sound of synchronized footsteps echoed continuously from the depths of the spatial rift.

The sound was powerful and resounding, echoing across the surrounding area.

Not long after, a chilling legion of angels officially descended upon the world of music.

The moment the legion landed, it immediately activated its indiscriminate slaughter mode, hunting down all living creatures around it that were different from them.

The size of this legion is similar to that of the Fourth Angel Legion that previously destroyed the City of Sound.

However, their overall combat strength is on a completely different level.

Even the weakest warrior in the legion has a cultivation level that is consistently above S-rank.

The realm of top experts has even reached the threshold of the late SS level.

Miya recognized the team immediately.

The elite force of the angel race—the Third Angel Legion.

She was filled with confusion.

According to the original plan, they wanted to conquer this musical little world. With the combined strength of their five elders and the Fourth Angel Legion, they were more than capable.

There is absolutely no need to mobilize the more established Third Legion.

The next second, a vast and terrifying aura slowly seeped out through the spatial rift, instantly enveloping every inch of the music world.

The oppressive aura was so strong and oppressive that it caused the entire world to freeze.

Miya frowned even more, her expression growing increasingly puzzled.

Why did even that person come in person?

Is a small world that is about to be completely harvested really worth the other party coming to share the benefits?

With many questions swirling in her mind, she quickly suppressed them.

It's good that you're here.

With the addition of an elite legion, the speed of eliminating the remaining forces will only be faster.

The most important thing right now is still to find all the scattered fragments of the laws of music.

Having made up her mind, Miya flashed away, transforming into a streak of light and leaving the grove.

……

City of Sound.

The battle between Chu Ge and the Seventh and Eighth Elders lasted for an extremely long time.

This once bustling city is no longer what it used to be; high-rise buildings have collapsed, streets are shattered, and the earth is crisscrossed with ravines, turning it into a desolate ruin.

During the fierce battle, Black Hawk arrived, drawn by the scent of war, wanting to fight alongside Chu Ge and share the burden.

But Chu Ge stopped it directly.

"I can handle things here on my own. Go where you are needed more."

"Yes, Master."

Upon receiving the order, Black Hawk immediately set off, activating its full-area hunting mode and sweeping away the fleeing remnants of the angels.

Shortly after Black Hawk left, Chu Ge also killed two SS-level peak angel elders.

After battling several top-tier experts, her body was covered in injuries, her magic power was nearly exhausted, and her condition had plummeted.

Just when she thought the catastrophe was about to end, the spatial rift in the sky trembled again.

A brand-new legion of angels descends from another realm, with dozens of angels simultaneously targeting Chu Ge in the center of the ruins, launching a coordinated hunt.

At this moment, Chu Ge's body was broken, his blood and qi were depleted, and his magic power was almost exhausted. He could collapse and lose all strength at any moment.

But when faced with the swarming enemy, there was not a trace of fear in her eyes.

She was confident she could kill any number of opponents of this caliber.

What truly alarmed her was the mysterious presence that remained hidden deep within the spatial rift.

The opponent never stepped out of the crack, and Chu Ge could only vaguely sense that terrifying power that was hidden deep within.

That is a power that transcends the limits of this world, surpassing even the sacred realm.

That is--

Quasi-Emperor!

This hidden visitor is at least a Quasi-Emperor of the First Tribulation.

That's the most puzzling part.

With the overwhelming combat power of a quasi-emperor, one could easily end the entire battle.

But the other party simply remained hidden behind the rift, coldly watching her slaughter the angel legion without intervening or interfering.

Chu Ge suppressed his doubts and focused on dealing with the battle at hand.

She acted swiftly, defeating all the angels who had surrounded her.

But just as this group of enemies was wiped out, the spatial rift began to fluctuate again.

The third legion of angels descended.

This legion is small, with only a hundred men, but each one of them is an elite among elites.

All members are guaranteed to be at least at the early stage of SS level in terms of cultivation.

Among them are twenty SS-level peak experts.

The aura emanating from these angels was not as overwhelming as that of Zoga; they were merely at the level of ordinary combat power.

However, the combined suppression from twenty SS-level peak fighters was extremely terrifying.

Severely injured and lacking in magic, Chu Ge was finding it extremely difficult to cope.

In this critical moment, she silently considered her options.

There are actually two ways to break this deadlock.

She could activate the fragments of the laws of sound hidden within her body, or take out the quasi-emperor artifact that Nicholas had given her.

She only needs to choose one of these methods to attack, and all the angels surrounding her will be eliminated.

After a moment's thought, Chu Ge shook his head and rejected both options in his mind.

No, she can't use either of those right now.

The Quasi-Emperor's Weapon was a gift from someone else, not a power he earned through his own arduous cultivation.

If one relies on treasures to break through every desperate situation, it will only breed laziness and erode one's martial will. Long-term dependence on external things will ultimately lead to stagnation and delay one's own cultivation path.

As for the fragments of musical rules.

Of the six fragments, only one was a gift from the God of Music. The other five were obtained by her own hands, which can be considered as confidence earned through her own strength. There was nothing wrong with using them.

The reason she hesitated to activate it was because she had not yet reached her own limit.

We haven't reached the point where we're truly at our wits' end and have no choice but to use our trump cards.

She wanted to use this life-or-death situation to temper her physical body and refine her Dao heart.

Allow your physique and will to undergo a transformation and breakthrough under high-pressure combat.

Above the void, figures moved swiftly, and an aura of killing intent permeated all directions.

Chu Ge was covered in blood, his clothes soaked in crimson.

She ignored her worsening injuries, letting blood seep from the cracks in her body and fall into the void drop by drop.

Facing the angels who were attacking her, her eyes were sharp and her fighting spirit was overwhelming.

He raised his hand and threw a punch, shattering the head of an angel, blood splattering everywhere.

Chu Ge stared directly at the menacing enemies around him, his tone cold and frank.

"No need for probing, let's attack together."

The hunting angels were instantly enraged.

A peak SS-rank angel wielding a long spear roared angrily.

"How dare you, lowly beings, so brazenly despise my race!"

"Everyone, join forces and kill this scoundrel!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the angel unleashed her full power, her spear, imbued with fierce holy light, piercing straight towards Chu Ge's heart, intending to pierce through her body in one strike.

The other angels set off simultaneously, unleashing all sorts of deadly powers and holy light spells.

Countless deadly attacks came from all directions.

A fierce fighting spirit shone in Chu Ge's eyes, and he shouted in a low voice.

"Well done!"

……

Outside the City of Sound, in a secluded, dense forest.

After a full hour of rest and recuperation, William's depleted magical power was restored.

All his injuries have healed, and he is back to his peak condition.

He slowly rose and looked toward the two angelic figures not far away in the woods.

There is still plenty of time before the two-hour bet with Moore is reached.

He could have continued to lie low and recharge, honing his skills to perfection.

But William could no longer suppress his murderous intent.

He had no intention of giving this arrogant angel a moment's respite; he was determined to eliminate him today.

On the other side of the dense forest.

Moore was extremely attentive, holding up a large leaf to fan the female angel beside him.

The female angel's eyes held a hint of languid disdain, and her tone was full of criticism.

"I really don't want to stay here any longer. The smell of fish is disgusting and makes me feel nauseous."

"The air in the realm of gods is still the purest."

Moore quickly echoed the other person's words.

"Senior sister is right. This is just a small world created casually by Lord Tianlai. Its scale is low and it can't be compared with the God Realm."

As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently swept across the forest path.

When she saw William, the fawning on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression.

He coldly watched William approach, "The agreed time hasn't arrived yet, and you're already eager to die?"

William gripped his longsword, his eyes calm and resolute.

"It's really hard to say who will live and who will die today."

Moore's eyes were full of disdain.

"Since you are determined to die, I will grant your wish."

Before he finished speaking, a spear filled with holy light appeared in his hand and thrust it straight at William's vitals.

William remained calm, conjuring a magical longsword to meet the attack head-on.

The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing against metal rang out continuously as two figures engaged in a rapid battle in the forest.

The battle was fierce and intense.

The female angel leaned against the tree trunk, watching the battle lazily with a hint of mockery.

"Junior brother, you'd better keep it up!"

"If you kill this arrogant mermaid, your senior sister will reward you tonight."

Hearing his senior sister's promise, Moore was thrilled and his attacks became even faster and fiercer.

However, after several exchanges, his sense of superiority gradually crumbled.

He was shocked to discover that William's combat strength was in no way inferior to his own.

They are even superior in terms of skillful moves, physical resilience, and fighting spirit.

Before long, Moore fell into a disadvantageous position, his moves became chaotic and full of flaws.

William seized the fleeting opportunity, his longsword slashing down fiercely, severing half of Moore's wing.

A sharp pain instantly swept through his body, and Moore let out a piercing scream.

Before he could regain his footing, William's second sword came right after him.

A flash of cold light, and his last remaining half of his wing was also cut off.

The excruciating pain and the fear that gripped his mind completely threw Moore into a panic.

He disregarded all his bullshit vows and turned to the female angels watching the battle, frantically calling for help.

"Senior sister! Save me!"

Not far away, the angel's lazy and playful expression vanished instantly, replaced by utter astonishment.

She never expected this.

The mermaid cultivators born in this lowly micro-world possessed combat power that could overwhelm Moore, who was born into the angel race.

Shocked, she immediately reacted, raised her hand to condense an ice bow, and wanted to shoot frost arrows to launch a surprise attack and break the siege.

Just as she was about to draw her bow and gather her strength, a clear and melodious melody suddenly entered her ears.

The music silently invaded her consciousness, instantly imprisoning her mind.

The female angel froze on the spot, her eyes vacant and lifeless, unable to move.

Taking advantage of this brief moment of opening, a figure quietly appeared beside her.

Amber held a violin made of magic.

Without the slightest hesitation, she raised her instrument high and smashed it down on the female angel's head.

boom!

A dull, loud bang exploded.

The angel's head exploded instantly, and crimson blood splattered all over Amber's face and clothes.

Amber remained completely unfazed, raising her hand once more to swing the violin and slam it down hard.

Several heavy blows landed in succession, completely shattering the opponent's body, leaving him utterly dead.

Moore, who was not far away, witnessed his senior sister's tragic death. His eyes turned red and he looked like he was about to burst.

Extreme anger dispelled the excruciating pain in his body. He turned around recklessly and charged madly towards Amber, wanting to avenge his senior sister.

But William didn't give him a chance to get close at all.

Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent's mind collapsed and he was completely vulnerable, he gathered all his magical power into the sword.

A dazzling sword light shot into the sky, and a deadly sword curtain cleaved down.

The sword flashed to the ground, and a head rolled down.

Moore's head rolled to the ground and came to rest right at Amber's feet.

His eyes were wide open, his face full of resentment, and he died with his eyes open.

"Nausea."

Amber remained expressionless, raised her hand, and struck again, smashing the head to pieces.

Having confirmed that the two angels had fallen without a trace of life remaining, Amber did not linger.

She put away her magic violin and sped off towards the city of violins.

My assistance today is merely a coincidence, a chance encounter while passing through this place.

A gentle breeze rustled through the trees.

William watched Amber's departing figure, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after a long while, whispered two words.

"Thanks."

……

Witch Star, the world beyond.

Bai Ling Shrine.

"Su Lingbai is a big bad guy!"

"No breasts, no butt!"

"She's in her twenties and still tries to act cute, wearing that tattered skirt every day! And wearing pigtails!"

"I curse you to be forever unloved, to never get married, and to die without anyone claiming your body!"

"I'm never talking to you again!"

The snake girl made a face at the gothic girl in front of her and angrily slammed her tail on the ground.

After saying that, she turned around and dashed out of the shrine courtyard in a flash, disappearing at the end of the mountain path in the blink of an eye.

In the courtyard, Su Lingbai stood alone under the towering ginkgo tree, completely dazed.

The wind blows and leaves fall, rustling softly.

After a long while, she slowly came to her senses and sighed helplessly.

"It's just that I ate one of your puddings, why are you so angry..."

She muttered to herself.

Although that pudding was a limited edition and rare item, it was indeed precious.

But Su Lingbai really didn't steal it on purpose.

When she returned home from her outing at noon, she opened the refrigerator and saw the pudding sitting there. She subconsciously assumed that Xiao Caihua had specially saved it for her, so she took it out and ate it.

After she understood the cause and effect, she realized she was in the wrong and couldn't muster any anger.

To appease the sulking Xiao Caihua, Su Lingbai immediately set off down the mountain.

She wandered through the streets and alleys at the foot of the mountain, visiting many shops, and after much effort, she finally bought an identical limited-edition pudding.

By the time she returned to the shrine with the pudding, the sun had already set behind the western mountains, and twilight had blanketed the world.

In the past, even if Xiao Caihua played outside all day, she would return on time in the evening to start a fire and cook.

Today, Su Lingbai searched the shrine inside and out, but still couldn't find Xiao Caihua.

"Are you still sulking and refusing to come back?"

Su Lingbai secretly guessed.

Left with no other choice, she had to go into the kitchen herself and try to start a fire and cook.

The sounds of ping-pong balls coming from the kitchen lasted for two whole hours.

During the incident, the kitchen utensils were nearly ignited, the stove was overturned, and the kitchen was blown apart.

After struggling for a long time, she managed to make two dishes that were barely passable in terms of appearance.

A plate of stir-fried tomatoes, and a plate of stir-fried potatoes.

The presentation is barely acceptable.

But the taste... well, that's another story.

Su Lingbai looked at the strange dishes on the table and sighed helplessly.

"Indeed, professional matters should be left to professionals."

She sat quietly at the dining table, not taking out her chopsticks, patiently waiting for Xiao Caihua to return.

Time passes little by little.

The clock on the wall ticked slowly, and before we knew it, it was ten o'clock at night.

The two dishes on the table were completely cold, without a trace of warmth.

The shrine remained quiet and still, without any movement.

A sense of unease gradually rose in Su Lingbai's heart.

"He's still not back so late, could something have happened?"

She was secretly worried, yet she couldn't help but think about it.

"However, given how difficult that guy is to kill, even if you encounter someone you can't beat, you should still be able to protect yourself and escape."

They are unlikely to face a life-or-death crisis.

But staying out all night is really unusual.

"Let's go out and look for it."

Su Lingbai immediately stood up, and with a flicker of his figure, he instantly disappeared into the shrine.

She first went to the scratch-off lottery shop that Xiao Caihua visited every day.

The shop owner scratched his head, thought carefully for a moment, and then shook his head in reply.

"You know what, I haven't seen her today. That girl comes to my shop every day on time to support the business; my house and car are all thanks to her earnings. Today is the first time she's been absent, and I do miss her."

Thank you.

After thanking him, Su Lingbai immediately headed to the next location.

Massage parlors, pachinko parlors, claw machine arcades, and street food stalls.

She visited all the places that Xiaocaihua usually frequented.

All the shop owners gave the same answer.

I have never seen the girl with the rapeseed snake today.

I miss her terribly.

After a series of disappointments, Su Lingbai's unease grew stronger.

She frowned and muttered to herself.

"Could he really have gotten into a fight and been killed?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

She and Little Cauliflower entered into a master-servant contract.

If Xiaocaihua were to perish, the contract would inevitably break instantly.

Even now, the contract remains firmly in place.

This proves that the little cauliflower is alive and well.

"I was so stupid to forget something so important."

Su Lingbai slapped his forehead and immediately activated the power of the contract, transmitting his voice to the other party.

"You damn snake, where have you been running off to play?"

"Hurry back and cook!"

The sound transmission instantly penetrated spatial barriers and was transmitted outwards.

A moment later, a faint, intermittent response came back.

"Su...Lingbai...Quick...Save me..."

Xiao Caihua's voice was sometimes loud, sometimes soft, intermittent, and clearly weak and flustered.

Su Lingbai's heart tightened, and she immediately pressed for an answer.

"Where are you? What happened?"

"I...don't know...where am I..."

"Today... I scolded you... I was afraid you'd be angry and hit me... so I secretly hid in the depths of the sea..."

"There was a very deep trench in the sea... I was curious and went closer to take a look... A sea monster, without any sense of justice... ambushed me... and knocked me into it..."

"When I woke up, I found myself in a strange place..."

"There are many people here with long fish tails... and people with wings..."

"I asked these birdmen for directions... and they turned around and started chasing me..."

"I just realized these birdmen aren't good people...they want to destroy that world..."

"The curse you cast on me suppressed my strength... I can't beat them... I can only run and curse..."

"In the end, a huge flock of birdmen came and kept chasing me..."

Su Lingbai listened to the entire account and then fell silent for a short while.

The whole thing sounded absurd and ridiculous, but it also helped her figure out the cause and effect.

Little Cauliflower accidentally wanders into a hidden deep-sea trench and unexpectedly travels to another small, adjacent world.

The intermittent transmission of sound is also because the transmission of information across worlds is interfered with and blocked by the rules of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, the contract was not broken, and the other party was still within the rules of Witch Star, only in a different spatial region.

She continued to question through the contract, figuring out the exact location of the deep-sea trench, and also gleaned key information from Xiaocaihua's description.

That unfamiliar world contained beings whose presence far surpassed their own.

He is definitely a quasi-emperor level being.

Su Lingbai frowned slightly, her expression grave.

"We really can't recklessly rush into a strange world where a quasi-emperor is in charge."

Recklessly crossing boundaries to save lives is no different from deliberately courting death.

She recalled her past experience of mistakenly entering Xu Wan's dream; she only glanced at it, and then nothing happened...

She still vividly remembers that feeling of helplessness and humiliation.

"Alas...the past is too painful to recall."

Su Lingbai shook her head slightly, clearing her mind of distractions, and quickly sorted out feasible countermeasures.

A moment later, a glint appeared in her eyes, and she had already made up her mind.

There's no other way right now.

"Then we can only... borrow the power of our ancestors."
