As soon as the Illusion Realm prompt appeared, the ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) bullet comments in the live stream instantly vibrated.

"Holy moly! Bringing one's own cultivation into the Illusion Realm!?

"Shouldn't the focus be on changing the ending?"

"So... time reversal!?"

"Hahaha! If I can go back in time and bring my own cultivation... wouldn't I be invincible?"

"How much cultivation does True Disciple Zhong plan to bring in?"

"Nascent Soul, right? A Nascent Soul almighty in this world should be comparable to a deity."

"Actually, Golden Core is enough. Look how abnormal Li Ang became after breaking through to Golden Core..."

...Zhong Yi looked at the options before him.

The options, from Qi Refining to Soul Transformation, all glowed with a bright light.

Zhong Yi naturally knew that the Golden Core Stage would be sufficient.

But the bullet comments were not the direct witnesses of this separation, so how could they understand Zhong Yi's pain at this moment?

If his Realm wasn't insufficient, he wished he could descend as a True Immortal and give Suteir a perfect life!

With almost no hesitation, he decisively pressed the 【Soul Transformation】 option.

A massive amount of Spiritual Qi was stripped from Zhong Yi's body.

The Illusion Realm world plunged into darkness... This scene stunned the bullet comments in the live stream.

"???" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Wait... what does 'bring all in' mean???"

"Stan: No, buddy?"

"I feel like Stan's ancestral grave is spewing black smoke..."

...The black curtain receded.

Zhong Yi stood in the inn, which had already turned into ruins.

On the wall next to him was a huge pit that had just been smashed open.

"Su..."

Zhong Yi turned sharply but did not see Suteir's figure.

"This is..."

"The time point when I just punched out an escape route for Suteir and told her to take refuge in the restaurant?"

"However, why am I still in the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation?"

Zhong Yi quickly sorted out the timeline, but what puzzled him was that his cultivation had not changed.

Just as he was wondering, the ceiling above suddenly shattered, and a surge of thunderclouds gathered in the sky.

In the center of the thunderclouds, mysterious runic formations flickered in and out of view.

"This is... the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

Zhong Yi instantly felt an Epiphany.

Using the hand of the Heavenly Dao, whether it was reversing time to rewrite the ending or ascending in Realm, it all made sense.

A purple lightning bolt descended from the sky, directly striking and merging into Zhong Yi's head.

There was no pain at all; instead, a surge of abundant power rippled through his body.

His Realm began to Breakthrough continuously.

Zhong Yi's Divine Sense instantly broke through the barrier set by the Demon Suppression Division. Seeing that Suteir had already escaped through the underground passage and was now standing at the entrance, hesitatingly staring back, a bitter smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

He thought, the little girl must have hesitated for a long time before running back, and then blocked that fatal sword strike for him... 【Realm Breakthrough complete!】

【Current Realm: Soul Transformation Middle Stage】

【After the countdown ends, your life will end...】

The countdown in the upper right corner had already begun to tick, starting from one hundred and eighty, decreasing by one digit every second.

The bullet comments immediately let out a sigh of lament.

"Damn, only this much time?"

"Saving Suteir is more than enough, but..."

"Good heavens, no wonder he asked that question earlier, 'even if it means sacrificing your own life.'"

"Old Devil Lu is still that Old Devil Lu!!! What a dog!!!"

"Sigh, it's better than Suteir dying in front of us, right..."

"Kill the old dog Shi! Slaughter the Demon Suppression Division!"

"Kill the old dog Shi!! Slaughter the Demon Suppression Division!!"

...As soon as the countdown mechanism appeared, Zhong Yi couldn't help but feel a faint sadness.

This meant that he was destined not to reach the ending with Suteir.

However, it was enough to rewrite the ending.

Having thought that, he gently sighed.

With a wave of his hand, an indestructible barrier completely sealed off the entire inn.

Then, Zhong Yi's Divine Sense quickly locked onto Stan, and a vast Killing Intent erupted from his eyes.

Dense golden runes covered his entire body.

"Next, it's your turn..."

...At the same time.

Almost all players chose to bring all of their cultivation into the Illusion Realm.

Mu Yawen transformed into a mountain-like Vajra giant, smashing Stan into a pulp with one punch and reducing the Demon Suppression Division to ashes with a kick from a distance.

Zhou Qiaoling hung Stan in front of the Demon Suppression Division gate, drawing down endless thunderbolts that would not dissipate even after her death.

Zhou Yue had a fierce flame spirit on her back, burning Stan until only his heart and head remained, yet he would not die, living forever in pain and madness...

Li Mozhan's Illusion Realm world.

Suteir hesitated for a long time, finally making up her mind—

She decided to go back and face life and death with Li Ang.

Just as she decided to crawl back into the underground passage, ice shards blocked the entrance to the passage.

"Master...?"

The young girl's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.

The next moment, a Sword Qi of ice frost shot into the sky, a hundred or even a thousand times more dazzling than the sunlight.

Li Mozhan's figure appeared high in the sky, her eyes flashing with bone-chilling Killing Intent. Stan, before her, was already riddled with countless sword blades, his body mangled and devoid of Life Qi.

She gently waved her hand, and Stan's body could no longer hold together, shattering into dust.

This was still not enough to vent her anger.

With a thought from Li Mozhan, the distant Demon Suppression Division rose from the ground and floated before her.

With just a light swing of her sword, the massive building was instantly cut into pieces.

Heaven and earth trembled, countless clouds were dispersed, and the entire sky even showed a clear crack.

"Open... Open the Heavenly Gate!!"

The young girl below jumped up and down excitedly, screaming joyfully.

"Sword Immortal... there really are Sword Immortals in this world!!"

"I knew it..."

"I knew Li Ang was a Sword Immortal! Yay!!!"

The "Sword Immortal" in the sky seemed to be attracted by the young girl's movements and slowly turned around.

The boundless Killing Intent instantly vanished.

Li Mozhan's figure instantly appeared before Suteir and smiled at her.

Her finger gently touched the young girl's forehead, and a wisp of ice frost Spiritual Qi flowed into the young girl's body.

"From now on, you... will also become a Sword Immortal."

...Zhong Yi's Illusion Realm world.

Three minutes, for ordinary people, isn't enough to do much.

But for a Cultivator fully exerting their cultivation, it's enough to do too much.

For example, slaying Stan and eliminating the Demon Suppression Division.

This was something almost all players would choose to do.

Zhong Yi's thoughts were more meticulous. He searched the Divine Soul of the inn owner, Li Yougan, and after confirming that the other party had reluctantly leaked his information under threat to his family, he chose to spare his life.

At the same time, he made a life-and-death pact with him, forbidding him from betraying Suteir.

A local boss who could handle both good and evil would be enough to ensure Suteir's future life was smooth sailing.

After doing everything, looking at the final countdown, Zhong Yi hesitated for a moment but still came before Suteir.

"Li... Ang?"

Suteir was slightly stunned, looking at Li Ang before her, whose aura was like that of a Saint, and whose arms were covered in golden runes.

"Long story short..."

"There's a Sect to the west. I've investigated the Sect Master's character, and there's absolutely no problem. You can cultivate there in the future."

"If you need any help, go find Old Man Li; he will definitely assist you."

"I have already improved your root bone; you will definitely become..."

..."Li Ang!!"

Facing the young girl's sudden interruption, Zhong Yi opened his mouth: "Hmm?"

Suteir's eyes instantly turned red: "Are you... are you going to leave me?"

"..."

A brief silence.

Seeing the number in the upper right corner had already reached ten, Zhong Yi felt a pang in his nose and finally nodded.

"Yes."

The young girl could no longer hold back, and large tears instantly fell.

"Then... then..."

Suteir incoherently hugged Zhong Yi, her choked voice making Zhong Yi's heart tremble.

"Then if I miss you, what should I do...?"

Zhong Yi gently stroked Suteir's head, and the golden Spiritual Qi from his entire body began to dissipate throughout the world.

"Then you can look at the sky, look at the flowers, look at the grass."

The boundless golden Spiritual Qi merged into heaven and earth.

The entire Illusion Realm world was full of vibrant Life Qi.

The young girl still sobbed: "And then?"

Zhong Yi's body began to crack continuously, and his form gradually dissipated.

His voice became increasingly ethereal.

"The wind passing through the pine trees, the water flowing over the bluestones..."

"All of it is me responding to you."
