The hollow voice spread across the night sky.
But no one could see this scene, except for the few giant flame footprints, the lakeside town remained quiet and peaceful.
And almost as soon as he saw those chains, Lynn understood everything.
"Those gods have you..." Lynn clenched his fists slowly, his voice filled with rage:
"Imprisoned here?!"
An indescribable surge of immense anger flowed through his entire body.
For a full thousand years, he had never been as furious as he was now.
But the King of Secret Source seemed to still not hear his words.
His massive body struggled to stand up, his hollow hand reaching out, still stretching towards the church.
"I... am guilty..."
"You're not guilty!!" Lynn roared in fury.
In an instant, he suddenly stretched out his hand, conjuring an enormous hand that covered the sky, grabbing the chains rooted in its body.
He wanted to tear these chains apart, to help the King of Secret Source break free from this prison.
But the moment he grabbed them.
The Flame Giant let out a shrill and pained cry.
Its body instantly collapsed to the ground.
"This..."
Lynn immediately let go, his face slightly pale, his eyes instantly enveloped by the purple glow of the Secret Source.
In an instant, his gaze pierced through the Flame Giant's body, seeing its primordial fire.
And in that instant, Lynn was shocked.
And it was at this moment that he had never wanted to kill and destroy more.
Because those were not chains at all.
They were extensions of its own primordial essence, part of its body.
Someone had altered the laws to transform its own essence into shackles that imprisoned it. If the chains were broken, its primordial fire would immediately collapse.
They were torturing him!
Lynn gritted his teeth fiercely.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, directly letting his powerful mental strength penetrate into its primordial imprint.
He wanted to know exactly what had happened!
In an instant.
Countless images flashed before his eyes.
In the images, a desolate expanse of stars.
In the expanse, a massive flame was suppressed in the center by three figures emitting faint light, using laws.
That flame was the true form of the King of Secret Source.
"Source King." The leading figure spoke with a cold and grand voice.
"I truly never expected that you would challenge us. Have you forgotten who knelt before us a thousand years ago, begging for our forgiveness?"
The flame struggled incessantly, emitting a furious roar.
"I no longer want to live this way, bowing down. A thousand years ago, I betrayed my comrades and my conscience. But now, I will not submit to you again. I would rather die than beg for your mercy!!"
The cold voice said, "Oh? Is that so? But I'm sorry, you are the King of Secret Source, and your existence provides us with Secret Source every day. I can't bear to lose you."
"You don't want to submit?"
The voice looked down on him arrogantly, saying:
"Then I will make you kneel before me endlessly in the future, begging for my forgiveness, making you suffer for eternity!"
Crack——
The image was instantly cut off.
Above the vast sky, Lynn withdrew from the King of Secret Source's memories.
At this moment, he finally understood the entire ordeal.
The gods had altered his body and imprisoned him here, making him endure immense pain every moment.
He slowly opened his eyes, madness rolling in them.
In an instant.
He suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing the sky, his killing intent almost causing the heavens to shatter.
"God of Order! I, Lynn, swear to kill you!"
He roared.
Shaking the heavens.
In an instant, he suddenly stretched out his hand, the glow of laws swirling around his entire body, his form becoming indistinct under the interference of the laws, as if it could extinguish at any moment.
He gritted his teeth, struggling to control the fluctuations of the laws, trying to probe into the King of Secret Source's body.
He wanted to use the laws he had comprehended to remove the brand on the King of Secret Source.
He believed he could do it.
The gods were powerful because they could control the laws for their own use.
The divine core was the source of their control over the laws.
But after a thousand years of countless failures, he could now touch part of the laws without relying on the divine core.
This was why he dared to seek revenge a second time.
"Brother! Don't worry, I'll make you normal again!"
Lynn gritted his teeth, continuously manipulating the power of laws to break the seals in his body.
"We only failed once, even if they truly cannot be destroyed, I will tear off their masks and make them suffer forever!"
Crack——
Crack——
As Lynn fully interfered with the power of laws.
The seals around the chains on the King of Secret Source's body were broken one by one.
Those were the seals set by the gods!
Crack——
And after the seventh seal was broken by Lynn, he immediately saw a glimmer of rational light slowly appear in the King of Secret Source's hollow eyes.
"Source King!!" Lynn bellowed.
The enormous roar instantly transformed into a powerful force, directly rushing into the King of Secret Source's primordial consciousness.
Like a thunderclap.
The King of Secret Source's body suddenly collapsed, a weak glow of Secret Source slowly emerging in his eyes.
His consciousness was awakened.
"Lynn?" He gasped, his gaze falling on the figure standing before him.
"Awake?" Lynn gritted his teeth, continuing to interfere with the laws to break the seals in his body.
"Don't talk, the gods altered your body, I'm trying to remove the seals, as long as all the seals are removed, you should be able to..."
A brief silence.
The Flame Giant struggled to raise his hand, forcefully waving it towards Lynn's position.
Lynn was startled, instantly retreating and shouting:
"What are you doing?!"
The Flame Giant gasped, "Lynn, you bastard, I knew you wouldn't die, among all of us fools, you're the smartest, and seeing you just pisses me off..."
Lynn gritted his teeth, immediately stepping forward and saying, "Save your bullshit for after I save you, don't waste your energy now!"
The Flame Giant raised his hand again, stopping Lynn from approaching, gasping:
"Stop, Lynn, it's useless!"
"Can't you see? They altered my primordial essence with the laws, even if you can remove the seals they set on me, you can't change my fate."
"My existence is based on the Secret Source, but they turned me into something that resists the Secret Source. As long as there's a trace of Secret Source in my body, I'll endure endless pain, and without the Secret Source... I'll die."
"This change is one-way." He gritted his teeth.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
