"Quick... help me over there!"

Wu Xiaoyao rasped out, trying to lift his hand towards the mirror, but he was only able to tremble weakly, unable to raise it.

His body had truly reached its limit.

But now he needed to immediately follow what was recorded on the Stone Slab: throw Wu Liang's mummified body in, and then he himself had to go and bring back the resurrected Wu Liang!

Damn body! Move now!

"Huh? Help you where?"

Yao Qingxue had a hint of confusion in her eyes, not knowing where Wu Xiaoyao meant, because in her vision, this cave was still as dark and mysterious as usual.

Following behind, Wu Quanye heard the commotion and quickly moved forward, trying to find any clues with Yao Qingxue.

Clearly, Wu Xiaoyao in this state meant the Immortal Realm had already appeared!

But unfortunately, it was indeed as expected.

The Immortal Realm was not something everyone could see!

"Master's wife, Brother Quanye, no need to look, the teacher wants you to help him to about ten meters in the one o'clock direction."

As everyone was frantically searching, an abrupt voice came from the shadows, and then Yin Qiming's slightly thin and sickly figure leaned against the stone wall, lighting a match.

Phush—

He brought the match to his lips and lit the crumpled cigarette that had been crushed.

As smoke swirled around him, he made eye contact with the perplexed Yao Qingxue and Wu Quanye.

But at that moment, they couldn't see any of the usual vibrant energy in Yin Qiming's eyes.

Instead, they were filled with a dead fish-like indifference and a mysterious glint of malevolent intent.

"Qiming? When did you learn to smoke… "

Wu Quanye frowned, wanting to step forward and slap the cigarette out of Yin Qiming's mouth.

The other should clearly know that his elder brother, Wu Xiaoyao, utterly detested habits like smoking and drinking.

However, the moment he raised his hand, Wu Quanye froze in place like a statue.

Yin Qiming patted the dust off his body, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke towards the stunned Wu Quanye, and said wistfully, "When did I learn to smoke? Probably two years later, I kept this habit until the end of the second supernatural massacre."

"That is when humanity was completely wiped out."

Thump—thump—

Once these words were spoken, everyone's heart in the cave, including Wu Liang, seemed to skip a beat.

Then came the rapidly accelerating heartbeat induced by emotional agitation, almost allowing them to hear their own pounding pulses by their ears.

Two years later! The second supernatural massacre!

And even the complete extinction of humanity?!

What on earth was he talking about!

"Qiming... who exactly are you..."

Yao Qingxue's eyes sparkled with a trace of azure and white light, and countless future fragments played before her. The Awakened Ability that could usually only see imminent events now pushed to its limit.

So much so that her tear ducts began to leak threads of blood, and her eyes were consumed by a brilliant red.

But before she could glimpse that far-off future, Yin Qiming suddenly vanished from Wu Quanye's side, wrapping his presence, thick with the scent of tobacco, and appeared before Yao Qingxue.

Bang—

He delivered a heavy punch to Yao Qingxue's abdomen, causing the already over-fatigued Yao Qingxue to curl up like a cooked prawn due to the pain, collapsing to the ground.

After knocking her down, Yin Qiming took another deep drag of the cigarette and said, "Master's wife, don't waste your effort. Seeing a future too distant will cost you your lifespan."

"After all, in my world, it's because you wanted to see a future where humanity could be saved that you overused your abilities until your life was drained."

In an instant, Yin Qiming was the only one left standing in the cave.

And his bizarre words plunged Yao Qingxue into thought, despite her immense pain.

Even Wu Xiaoyao, who nearly lost consciousness from falling without support, shifted his gaze from the Immortal Realm to look at his most cherished and only disciple.

Even the hidden Wu Liang crushed a few stones in his grip, contemplating the meaning behind his words.

"What... do you mean... your world?"

Yao Qingxue, bearing the intense pain, forcibly sat up, supporting herself with her hands on the ground to stand and confront him.

But Yin Qiming, seeing this scene.

Merely sighed, drawing a dark red dagger from his pocket, a thick scent of blood permeating the cave.

The color on the dagger was ominously like it had been consistently dipped in blood, coagulated, and then re-dyed, countless times over.

Pressing the dagger against Wu Xiaoyao's neck, he remarked with some sentiment, "Master's wife, you are indeed very strong."

"Whether as your ordinary self, your current self, or as the leader of the Awakened, your inner strength is something I can never shake, so I've never been able to control you."

"So, I can only threaten you with the teacher's life, pick up the stone and knock yourself out, I guarantee I won't harm any of you."

Upon hearing this, the blade of the dagger pressed slightly downward, drawing a small drop of blood from Wu Xiaoyao's neck.

Seeing this, Yao Qingxue's body, trying to rise, froze immediately.

Her eyes revealed an expression of disbelief, gritting her teeth as she said, "Qiming, Xiaoyao and I have kept you by our side for nearly ten years. We've seen your talent, wisdom, and even character."

"I once saw through your little secrets but never envisioned them leading to such malevolence."

"Why have you become like this today?"

To Yao Qingxue's puzzled questions, Yin Qiming merely nudged a stone to her with his foot.

Holding the dagger still against Wu Xiaoyao's neck, he glanced at his lean frame.

With one long drag, he finished off the cigarette, exhaled, and with falling ash, he explained somewhat sentimentally, "Alright then, in light of the care you've shown this world's me, let me put you at ease a little."

He pointed to his chest.

"Everything shown by the current Yin Qiming is genuine, even his desire resurrect Wu Liang is sincere."

"Due to your care, the me of this world has indeed overcome antisocial tendencies, becoming a person full of genuine kindness, for which I am truly grateful."

"However, at the moment the Immortal Realm opened, my consciousness temporarily took over Yin Qiming's, this is my Symbiotic Ability."

"Oh, to clarify, this ability refers to obtaining the Fierce Ghost Ability after being symbiotic with a Fierce Ghost."

"And in the world already destroyed by the supernatural—I was the first Symbiont in history."
