Now the rescued people discussed among themselves, truly lost in this unfamiliar world, yet a hope had appeared before them.
Those who had saved them.
Ninety-something individuals, all were powerful experts from their respective worlds. Though they were now deeply confused, seeing the strength displayed by these few saviors, they felt a sense of relief, for they too could become stronger.
“Silence.”
At that moment, a one-horned man emerged from the darkness, his authoritative voice echoing throughout the cave.
A massive, overwhelming pressure surged down upon everyone. In that instant, their faces turned pale as they struggled to resist.
Lin Fan slightly furrowed his brows; this person’s strength was far beyond his own. Even at his peak, he might not be a match.
However, Lin Fan wasn’t shocked. The so-called Upper Realm was a higher-level world. In the Xuanhuang Realm, he was invincible, but upon arriving in the Upper Realm, he had already prepared himself to become one of the weakest.
Therefore, aside from some confusion, he had no other thoughts.
Because growing stronger was so simple for Lin Fan—as long as he worked hard.
Before long, he would surpass everyone.
“Say nothing, ask nothing. Everything will be explained to you. Now, I will announce which world you are from. Those who have ascended from that world should come forward to receive a teleportation stone.”
“Jiao Realm.”
Jiaoniu patted Lin Fan’s shoulder and then walked forward.
The one-horned man looked at Jiaoniu, slightly nodded, and handed him a crystal-clear jade stone.
“This is a teleportation stone. Drip your blood onto it, and it will transport you to the area where those from the Jiao Realm are gathered. There, someone will explain everything to you.”
“Hu Realm.”
The woman who had nearly been taken by the ancient clan soldiers stepped forward slowly.
Though her face was still somewhat pale, she had mostly recovered.
“Thank you, senior.”
…
The ninety-something individuals then used the teleportation stones to leave the cave.
Only Lin Fan stood there, completely bewildered.
What was going on?
“What about me?” Lin Fan immediately raised his hand.
Seeing everyone else leave, Lin Fan was utterly stunned. They couldn’t possibly leave him behind.
The Jiao Realm man looked at Lin Fan, slightly frowning as if trying to recall something but failing.
“Which world are you from?”
“Xuanhuang Realm, human race,” Lin Fan quickly replied.
“Xuanhuang Realm human race?” The man was momentarily taken aback, as if recalling something, but then shook his head. “There is no Xuanhuang Realm…”
“How can there be no Xuanhuang Realm? You must’ve forgotten. Many humans are here,” Lin Fan hurriedly said. He couldn’t allow them to leave him behind.
He was unfamiliar with this place. If he left and encountered those ancient clans again, what would he do?
Even if such a place truly didn’t exist, they should at least offer some advice and tell him how to resolve his current predicament.
The suppression of his cultivation was truly annoying. If he could find a way to avoid the suppression of this world’s rules, he would naturally have a chance to survive.
“The human race has long declined. Naturally, there is no place left for your race to reside,” another figure suddenly appeared before Lin Fan.
“I…” Lin Fan felt helpless, wanting to curse, but decided against it.
Most likely, this was the doing of those four Sovereigns, prohibiting ascension from the Xuanhuang Realm. After ten thousand years without anyone ascending, those humans who had arrived earlier must have learned something and thus stopped guiding newcomers from the Xuanhuang Realm.
With the human race’s powerful ability to reproduce and nurture offspring, naturally there would be no problem.
But if he went there now, he might be like an illegal resident.
“We can’t help you. But you are the only one I’ve seen ascend from the Xuanhuang Realm in all these years. This booklet contains everything you want to know. Whether you live or die from now on depends entirely on yourself.” The man threw a booklet to Lin Fan and then, with a flash of light, left using a teleportation stone.
“Hey, hey… I still have questions to ask!” Lin Fan hurriedly shouted, but it was already too late; everyone had left.
In the empty cave, only Lin Fan stood there, looking foolish.
“Damn… You guys are ruthless, not even a bit of compassion.” Lin Fan sighed deeply, plopped down on the ground, and gazed at the enclosed cave with another deep sigh.
Where is the path forward…
“No way. I absolutely cannot just wait here to die. I must rise up and summon the boldness I had back in Xuanhuang. Even if this place is full of dangers, I will use my bare fists to carve out a bright future, making you regret not befriending me today.” Lin Fan silently encouraged himself, making a grand vow.
“But all of this must start from the beginning. I wonder what’s inside this booklet. I can only hope it contains everything I want to know.” Lin Fan sighed. He didn’t yet know what the outside world was like and decided to patiently understand the situation first.
The booklet looked ancient, even slightly worn, with hand-written characters on it.
In the quiet cave, only the sound of Lin Fan flipping pages could be heard.
Minute by minute, second by second passed. Lin Fan didn’t know how many days had gone by.
Until he finished reading the entire booklet, Lin Fan felt like dying.
This was truly a parental betrayal.
The Upper Realm was called the Gusheng Realm.
All the great thousand worlds’ ultimate destination was the Gusheng Realm.
And those ancient clans were native beings of the Gusheng Realm. They were brutal and fierce. To them, except for their own kind, everything else was merely food.
The booklet also recorded that danger didn’t come solely from the ancient clans, but also from many ferocious ancient beasts.
These ancient beasts possessed immense strength, beyond what ordinary people could handle.
Lin Fan had some understanding of this, and the booklet contained scattered records of major situations, though not comprehensive. Everything would have to be explored by himself.
What troubled Lin Fan most was how to assimilate this world to avoid suppression.
From the booklet, Lin Fan understood that the various races of the great thousand worlds had different cultivation systems and heavenly Dao.
The Xuanhuang Realm refined the power of rules, but this wasn’t the case in other worlds.
Take the Gusheng Realm, for example; it cultivated not the power of rules, but something called Holy Spirit Qi.
“Ah, well, one step at a time. First, I’ll transform the chains of rules.”
Lin Fan shook his head, accepting the current reality.
“Beep. Too damn annoying. Activating Ultimate Mode, initiating assimilation.”
“Beep, Assimilation successful.”
“叮, Rule Chain transformation successful.”
“Beep. Experience data too large. Initiating re-planning.”
“叮, Re-planning successful. Ultimate Mode activated.”
“叮, This system is the Ultimate System. Simply defeating monsters to gain experience allows you to level up, reach the peak of life, and achieve eternal dominance. No longer a dream.”
…
At this moment, Lin Fan’s heart was filled with joy. He hadn’t expected the system to appear at this moment, solving all his problems.
It seemed that the system had been silent earlier due to the assimilation process, and now it had successfully assimilated.
Now, let’s see what the system looks like now.
This Ultimate Mode was quite something.
It seemed the system couldn’t endure such troubles either and had activated the Rampage Mode.
