Wang Lin, back then, his name was something many people ridiculed.

Because the protagonists of many fantasy novels shared this name, seemingly ordinary, yet they were truly influential powerhouses. And Wang Lin himself also gave others the impression of being naive and honest.

The type of guy who wouldn’t frown even if you asked him to fetch a package or bring up a milk tea on the way!

In the office, if you said he was inconspicuous, there were many who would remember him the moment something came up; if you said he was noticeable, he was never the one in the spotlight.

He somewhat had the feeling of a jack-of-all-trades, including Chen Qing who got to know him later on felt the same.

Wang Lin was not an original employee, but joined the company after he and Ziyue resigned, and was then recruited along with the gaming project team at the start of the project.

In Chen Qing’s memory, he was a man of few words but extremely reliable, especially during several key battles; anything entrusted to him never went wrong.

Steady and reliable without seeking the limelight, such people are actually liked by those around them and easily earn their trust. That’s why no one thought he would be a traitor!

Wang Lin... Liu Yunxin.

Completely unrelated names; an utterly unexpected personality. Who could have thought that this chess piece had been placed so early?

An individual who had such a positive image on the battlefield, a national idol at his zenith, retired to relax; not even Chen Qing anticipated his ambition had arisen from contact with that project, nor suspected that everything had been arranged long ago...

Perhaps it was right after Pu YunChuan’s first successful experiment that the old fox hurried to disguise his grandson and slip him into that company, right?

Human hearts... truly unpredictable.

Chen Qing gazed at the thunderclouds covering the sky, feeling even gloomier inside than the ominous clouds. Would this group of people end up like those from that year?

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

"Liu Xinyun..." Ziyue showed no sign of surprise, only smiled lightly: "Your real name?"

"Real name..."

"Old Liu is your..."

"Grandfather!"

"Oh, I see..." Ziyue nodded: "Old Liu has four sons, and after all of them started families, the progeny thrived, with nearly a dozen grandchildren. Among those grandchildren, there was only one who joined the military, and the rest nearly went unnoticed. Ever since that time, the old man had started to keep a low profile. Who could have thought he’d place his own grandson as a chess piece so early on? "

"Grandpa’s plans are profound, naturally not something you could fathom," the other party said with a smile.

"He really values you!" Ziyue said with a smile: "That ability of yours, it must be quite extraordinary, right?"

The ability of Space-Time Reconstitution, independent of formation, is the Power of Laws.

It can reverse Life and Death; truly terrifying and not something to take lightly.

Such a power must be akin to Madam Joseph’s, stemming from an Innate dao Fruit.

To bestow such power onto his own grandson, Old Liu really invested a lot!

"You don’t need to probe..." The Dragon King faced Ziyue: "I won’t tell you anything!"

"Is that so..." Ziyue nodded slightly: "Indeed, one’s trump card, no one would easily reveal that, not like those dim-witted villains in television who flaunt their advantage and happily disclose their trump card while providing a narration for the protagonist..."

"So, what now? You plan to just keep watching like this?"

The other party smiled slightly: "Why not?"

Ziyue smiled: "You think I won’t last much longer, right?"

"Isn’t that the case?" Liu Xinyun looked at the dense clouds above with a cold smile on his face.

"Yes, so... there’s no point struggling," said Ziyue with a smile.

No sooner had her words fallen than the Flaming Sun Array suddenly retreated from the ship.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying chill enveloped the area, and Liu Xinyun immediately felt it—that malicious intent from heaven and earth.

"Have you gone mad?" Almost subconsciously, Liu Xinyun thought about retreating.

But before he could move, he felt as if he was locked in position, a bone-chilling cold making all his dragon scales stand on end as he stared at Ziyue, transfixed.

"You’re too close..." Ziyue mocked coldly: "If you do not wish to take risks, you should stay away from me. Yet, you fear I might escape and lock onto my location. It’s just a slow death anyway. Why do you think I wouldn’t just give up completely?

With your intelligence, your old man really knew how to pick his people. "

"You...." For the first time, a look of shock and anger appeared on Liu Xinyun’s face, but before he could rebut a single word, the terror from above had already arrived.

Inside the Thundercloud, a power of immense terror was brewing. The whole Heavenly Dao seemed to be unwilling to give a second chance, and with a thunderous boom that almost covered the entire Southern Sea, a purple lightning bolt struck down mercilessly!

Under the flash of light, even before the force made contact, its domineering power almost obliterated all elements within tens of thousands of square meters, something Liu Xinyun had not anticipated—the will of this world to be so fiercely enraged.

He had miscalculated!

But that shouldn’t be... inside this boat, there wasn’t just her; there were also her students. He had always kept up with her intel, and with her character, she should have feelings for her students. That was how he calculated his move and succeeded originally.

That year, during that ambush, he had precisely predicted that she would protect her students and choose to cover their retreat, and that’s how he mercilessly plotted her demise.

If not for that, with her talents and abilities back then, she could truly have become the new Venerable One. How could she have met such a tragic fate, unable to even enter Reincarnation?

Has the personality of this clone truly changed?

Has she really... thrown caution to the wind?

Without any more hope for luck, he opened his energy channels to the maximum, strengthening his body to the extreme as he desperately retreated toward the outside of the boat.

The main target of the Heavenly Punishment was Ziyue; even if he got caught in the crossfire, as long as he dodged quickly enough, there was still a chance to survive.

"Thinking of running now? Isn’t it a bit late?"

Ziyue sneered coldly, chasing after him without hesitation. Locked by the Law of Space, Liu Xinyun’s soul nearly leapt out of his body!

In such a situation, he was indeed fleeing at full speed, but Ziyue’s space-locking Forbidden Technique was something he could not shake off in a short amount of time, even at his fastest. And to make matters worse, she was getting closer and closer to him!

In a flash, the roles of predator and prey were reversed, with her becoming the one chasing after him.

Had this madwoman resolved to perish together with him?

At this moment, he deeply regretted being so audaciously close just now; this Ziyue was not the Ziyue he once knew!

Not daring to hesitate any longer, he directly crushed the Jade Pendant at his waist!

The Law of Space-Time was useless; the range of the thunder was too vast, and that boat definitely wouldn’t survive.

Yes, his Space-Time Reconstitution Dharma had a weakness—that was, a location to preserve the time node was required.

If that spot was taken out in advance, the time node could instead be used by others as a method against him, and if the space-time node was destroyed, then there was no possibility of rewinding time.

His abilities were not yet sufficient to reset the timeline for all things.

Facing this madwoman’s counterattack, his only choice was to use that...

As he crushed the Jade Pendant, an unbelievably bizarre scene unfolded.

The purple thunder that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth... was brought to a halt!!
