93: Dongfang Yuan: How do I know that the Godfather and I have the same name!
Meng Yun looked at the crystal ball, a nostalgic expression surfacing on his face.
This was the gift he had given Vivian during the first simulation in the Arcane World.
But unfortunately, before the gift had even warmed up, Vivian was taken back by Statham.
When they met again, it was to be a final farewell.
He never expected.
That he would see this crystal ball again in the present world.
Staring blankly at the graceful figure of the girl nestled beside him in the crystal ball, Meng Yun's lips involuntarily curved into a smile.
He already knew that even the simulated worlds actually existed in the present world.
It was just that he didn't have enough strength yet to personally cross the myriad worlds and descend upon those places with his true body.
But it didn't matter.
As long as he continued to work hard, perhaps one day, he could, with the touch of an immortal, successfully push open the barrier of time and space and find her.
Find them.
Find every single person who had lived vividly in his simulations.
At the same time, he also firmly believed that those who had left significant memories in each other's minds were also constantly striving.
For that moment of reunion.
Holding the crystal ball and examining it again for a while, he turned off the elemental flow.
The crystal ball's image extinguished, becoming ordinary once more.
Meng Yun placed the crystal ball on his nightstand, intending to use it as a night light.
This thing was very useful.
Just give it a little elemental flow, and it could project automatically.
However, the crystal ball would roll, and he didn't have anything to prop it up with...
Hmm...
It seemed he did.
Taking out the red veil from the drawer, Meng Yun folded it into a square.
He placed it flat under the crystal ball.
With it propping it up, the crystal ball wouldn't roll around anymore!
He really was a little genius!
After doing all this, Meng Yun planned to go out for a bit.
Firstly, to inform the 654 Bureau about Xu Yuan's attack.
Secondly, he also needed to raise some spirit stones to refresh the Simulator's anchor points again.
Oh, speaking of anchor points, Meng Yun suddenly recalled something.
"System, that thing you mentioned last time, that as long as I reach S-rank, you can randomly let me bring a simulation reward into a new simulation, is that true or false?!"
[Replying to Host, given that you have overachieved your goals in this simulation, the system upgrade has been successfully completed.]
[When the next simulation begins, the system will randomly draw one of your acquired rewards and grant you permission to use it in the simulated world.]
"Can I choose myself? What if you help me draw the red veil or the crystal ball? What's the use of bringing them?"
That's hilarious.
If he could really choose himself, he would probably bring the Arcane Star, the demon suppression stone, Containment Master, Life Alchemy, and so on.
Cutting through everything like butter, so easy!
[Replying to Host, it can only be randomly drawn by this system, fair and square.]
"So unfair."
[Given that Host received an SS-rank evaluation for this simulation, the system can make an exception and randomly draw two rewards for you. You may choose one of them to bring in.]
"Alright, I guess you have a bit of a conscience."
[You're welcome. It is the duty of this Universal Salvation Simulator to continuously optimize its functions for the Host.]
After finishing his conversation with the system, Meng Yun rested briefly and left his messy dwelling.
He headed straight for 654 University. Since Xu Yuan was a professor, it made sense, both emotionally and rationally, to inform the school first.
... ...
Far away in the capital, the Dongfang Family.
As a low-key and reserved cultivation family, in normal times, the ripples the Dongfang Family caused on Blue Star were even less than those caused by the Lin Family.
But all discerning ability users knew.
The Dongfang Family was the true family standing at the pinnacle of Blue Star's ability users!
It was said that the number of Combination Realm cultivators who could walk around normally was no less than five. And counting those busy with various matters in the Combination Realm, who knew how many there truly were!
But no matter how many Combination Realm cultivators there were in the world, Dongfang Yuan of the Dongfang Family was absolutely one of the top Combination Realm powerhouses on Blue Star.
At merely over two hundred years old, he was already a grandmaster who cultivated both the Combination Realm and was a God Art Master!
Even a powerhouse like Dongfang Yuan had a headache at this moment.
He had already seen the mural excavated in the 654 University History Research Institute.
The famous God-Slaying Diagram.
Below it was also engraved a mysterious arcane art said to be called "Hellfire."
But due to its ancient age, this arcane art had long been worn down, and even with his abilities, he couldn't fully restore it in a short time.
However, none of this was the main point.
The main point was, why was the grandmaster who wielded this so-called Hellfire arcane art also named Dongfang Yuan!?
Could it be that something was wrong?
Did the Arcane World also have people with the double surname Dongfang?
Huh?
Now, some people weren't even calling him Dongfang Yuan anymore; they were calling him Godfather!
But he clearly didn't even know Godfather's signature technique, Hellfire!
Dongfang Yuan, in a dark Xuan-black robe, sat quietly in his vast study, in front of a huge electronic projection screen.
It could display the God-Slaying Diagram from 360° without dead angles.
"Wait until I comprehend this Hellfire, then it won't be too late to call me Godfather..."
His mind was immersed, unaware of the passage of time.
At a certain moment, a butler came to report.
"God... Master Yuan, there's a Nascent Soul seeking an audience outside, saying it's... Lin Xiao?"
Dongfang Yuan snapped out of his meditative state.
"Lin Xiao... Nascent Soul?"
Isn't that guy an old-brand Combination Realm powerhouse who became famous even earlier than himself?
"Please invite him in."
Dongfang Yuan couldn't figure it out, but he still had the butler receive him.
No other reason. Just the name Lin Xiao alone meant he had to handle it carefully.
Otherwise?
In the future, a big hat of disrespecting elders would inevitably be placed on him.
Others might not care, but as a scion of a noble family, Dongfang Yuan's every word and action represented his family's face at all times.
Not long after, a tiny figure, completely naked and as round as a baby, abruptly appeared in the study.
A Nascent Soul.
It really was a Nascent Soul!
Dongfang Yuan had thought the butler was referring to his cultivation realm!
Looking at Lin Xiao's Nascent Soul, Dongfang Yuan remained outwardly calm, but a tempest was raging in his heart.
A dignified Combination Realm grandmaster wouldn't be so idle as to play with his own Nascent Soul.
He hadn't heard that Lin Xiao had such a strange hobby.
Then, only one possibility remained.
He was injured!
For some reason, he was forced to abandon his physical body, leaving his Nascent Soul to escape!
Although for a Combination Realm cultivator, rebuilding a physical body was a minor matter, it would still be embarrassing if it got out!
Yet Lin Xiao didn't first find a place to rebuild his physical body; he even risked being ridiculed by Dongfang Yuan to come visit him...
Hiss~
It seemed he might be in trouble.
"Uncle Lin, this is..."
"Dongfang Yuan, are you studying this flame?!"
Lin Xiao immediately saw the God-Slaying Diagram projection and interrupted Dongfang Yuan, speaking impatiently.
Dongfang Yuan felt a slight displeasure in his heart.
He had long heard that Lin Xiao acted erratically, was arrogant, and was known as a 'mad dog.'
Now it seemed, he was indeed extraordinary.
Dongfang Yuan's expression remained gentle: "Indeed, this is the God-Slaying Diagram, and this flame is called Hellfire..."
"Hellfire?" Lin Xiao's expression became solemn, and he looked eagerly at Dongfang Yuan, saying:
"Is there a way to counter it? I was burned by this Hellfire, which forced me to abandon my physical body!"
Dongfang Yuan's expression changed, and he sprang to his feet:
"What? Someone actually used this flame to such an extent?! Uncle Lin, quickly tell me this person's name and where he lives?
I'll go visit him right away!"
Lin Xiao: ...?
If you weren't so strong, do you think I wouldn't beat you to death right here?
