44: Generous rewards and breakthrough in cultivation!

She also saw that in the days that followed, the members of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau continued to decrease.

Until...

After an unknown amount of time passed in the scene, she saw her future self suddenly receive news: the Gods exist!

As long as the Gods are revived, the invaders from the Otherworld can be driven away, or even pushed back.

At that time, when Shi Niang heard this news, she couldn't help but feel happy for her future self and Li Mu.

Because in this way, as long as those Gods are revived, such tragedies will no longer happen in the future.

However, the scenes she saw later were completely contrary to her expectations!

Teams carrying out the mission to revive the Gods were killed by the invaders from the Otherworld. This time, the invaders' attack was unusually fierce, seemingly very afraid of the Gods on Earth being revived.

Her future self waited anxiously at home, until...

She received the news of Li Mu's death and the complete annihilation of his team!

At this moment, her future self looked as if her entire world had collapsed; she immediately slumped to the ground, her eyes vacant.

Even when she saw this scene of her future self, a pang of heartache arose within her.

She suddenly remembered that this very event had been written about in Li Mu's diary!

He had led a team to revive Sun Wukong, but it ended in failure, resulting in his death.

Li Mu only experienced Rebirth back to a hundred years ago, to the present, after his own death.

Upon thinking of all this, an indescribable feeling surged within Shi Niang's heart—a mix of discomfort and a blockage, like an unvented depression.

What was recorded in the diary was always just text; no matter how clear the described scenes were, they were ultimately not as real as direct viewing in the present.

But precisely because of this, when Shi Niang finished watching these scenes, her heart became even more unsettled.

A tear slowly streamed down from the corner of her eye...

However, the story of her future was still not over.

In the scene, her future self remained silent for a day, still unable to accept such a reality, and finally, in anger, she charged towards the invaders' stronghold in the Otherworld to avenge Li Mu.

She saw that after her future self broke into the invaders' stronghold, she carried a heart full of hatred and killing intent, using the ability to control telekinesis that Li Mu had given her, directly catching the enemy off guard.

Shi Niang, acting with deep hatred, wielded significantly increased power, and she truly managed to kill several enemies.

However, the enemy quickly reacted.

Facing a tide-like onslaught of enemies, her future self ultimately died there.

The future scenes ended there, and Shi Niang withdrew from the vision.

The future stone she had been holding had now turned into blue powder scattered on the ground.

However, Shi Niang didn't notice any of this; her eyes were already blurred with tears.

Although this was merely viewed from a third-person perspective, like watching a movie.

The sense of reality and immersion, however, unconsciously stirred her emotions!

Inside the company, among the group of people who stood around, afraid to approach, the female colleague who had been sitting next to Shi Niang saw the future stone in Shi Niang's hand, which had been standing motionless, turn into powder.

She also saw tears streaming from Shi Niang's eyes.

She quickly stepped forward to wipe away her tears, asking worriedly, "Shi Niang, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying? Don't scare me! Is there something harmful about this strange stone?"

However, Shi Niang only shook her head, and it was a while before she finally came back to her senses.

Then she took a deep breath, looked at her worried colleague, and forced a smile: "Sorry, I made you worry."

"I just..."

"I just, when I touched this stone, I saw scenes of my future."

Hearing Shi Niang's words, everyone in the company immediately showed expressions of surprise.

If such a statement had been made in the past, they would have never believed it, even thinking Shi Niang was playing a prank on them.

But now, with several supernatural events becoming hot topics online, plus the truly bizarre way this stone appeared, they almost immediately believed Shi Niang's words.

However, just as everyone started to think that they also wanted to see what their own future would be like.

They subconsciously looked at the pile of blue powder at Shi Niang's feet, and then disappointment appeared in each of their eyes.

Seeing this, they pretty much knew that this thing was probably useless now...

Then they shifted their attention back to Shi Niang, observing her reaction.

Everyone also speculated in their hearts that Shi Niang's future was probably not very good, otherwise Shi Niang wouldn't have reacted this way after seeing it.

However, this was just a small interlude, because the future stone had lost its effect, and it only caused some minor discussions within this company.

In the sky outside, Li Mu, who had cast an invisibility spell on himself, looked at the page displayed on the System, and the smile on his lips was almost splitting to his ears!

It showed that Shi Niang's trust level was full, and the rewards were very generous.

Fifty years of pure Cultivation, the area of the Cave Heaven Small World doubled, the Spiritual Qi in the Cave Heaven Small World doubled, and a complete Artifact Refining compendium!

Seeing these rewards, Li Mu was so excited that his mouth was almost crooked from smiling.

However, Li Mu did not choose to immediately receive this reward; instead, he looked inside the building to check Shi Niang's current state.

After confirming that she was fine, he then directly entered the Cave Heaven Small World.

In the Cave Heaven Small World, Linglong, who was originally bored and playing in a small river, suddenly sensed Li Mu's return, immediately poked her head out of the water, and then excitedly flew towards Li Mu.

And Li Mu, as soon as he entered the Small World, opened the System and chose to receive the reward.

The next moment, a vast and pure Cultivation surged into his body, and the ground of the entire Small World also began to tremble slightly, starting to expand in area.

The Spiritual Qi density within the Cave Heaven Small World also began to increase little by little.

The Dragon, who had just emerged from the water, suddenly saw the changes around it, and its large head was full of confusion, not knowing what had happened.

But the good news was that it sensed that the things in the air that could make it stronger seemed to be becoming more and more abundant than before!

This made it overjoyed, and the direction it flew towards Li Mu became even faster.

However, when it arrived, it found Li Mu sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, Cultivating.

Linglong landed on the ground outside the pavilion, tilted its head to look at him, felt the more concentrated Spiritual Qi emanating from Li Mu than before, and immediately scurried over, curling its body.

Its massive body directly blocked one side of the pavilion!

And at this moment, as Li Mu operated his Cultivation Technique, he guided the newly acquired power to merge with himself.

The next moment, Li Mu seemed to hear a faint "pop" sound.

At the same time, a powerful force erupted from his body, startling Linglong, who was lazily absorbing the overflowing Spiritual Qi nearby.

Its large, beautiful eyes widened, looking at Li Mu in the pavilion with full of shock.
