Lin Qing: "I'm not going over there, you should open the portal quickly."
If they had gone any slower, Lin Qing feared Liu Shui would have been killed by them, and he would have regretted it then.
System: "It requires 1,000 wisps of soul power to open the spatial portal. Confirm opening?"
"Activate".
"Opening, please wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small white dot appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Qing. Then, the small white dot instantly expanded to the size of a fist, and then to the size of a basketball.
The next second it transformed into a spatial door that was two meters high and one meter wide.
“Yes, nine special ones—ah!” Suddenly, everything in front of Liu Shui went black.
An alarm sounded in my ear: "Warning, warning, the game pod is being sabotaged. Please end the game immediately."
"The game pod has been damaged and has been forcibly shut down. To prevent users from being in danger, the relevant authorities have been notified."
Then, Liu Shui felt himself being pulled out of the game pod by a force. When Liu Shui opened his tightly closed eyes, he saw a familiar face.
"You, you are Wan Zhongshan? How come you are here?" Liu Shui, who was still confused, suddenly changed his expression.
"As expected of you, you good-for-nothing. It seems that your joining the guard team was also Zhou Hong's doing."
"You think I can't find you just because you're hiding in a villa deep in the mountains? Don't you know that the virtual gaming pod was invented by our wise Emperor?"
"You've got some nerve, kid. You actually tied up the Finance Minister's illegitimate son and used his gaming pod to log into the game," Wan Zhongshan said with a grin, patting Liu Shui's face repeatedly.
"Pah! You lackey of Wang Batian, and you beast Wang Batian who is worse than a pig or a dog, you killed my parents and my little sister, I've had enough of living."
"Anyway, Senior Dragon King will help me get revenge. Just kill me, and I'll wait for you and Wang Batian down there." Perhaps knowing that he had a chance of revenge, he was no longer afraid of death.
A glob of phlegm was spat into Wan Zhongshan's mouth, who was grinning. Wan Zhongshan was not on guard against Liu Shui, after all, he was already a man who was destined to die.
"Ugh!" Wan Zhongshan's face changed drastically, and he stepped aside and vomited.
Upon seeing this, Wan Zhongshan's men immediately drew their swords, ready to kill Liu Shui.

"Stop! How dare you do this? You want to die? Impossible!"
"I'm going to make you suffer terribly, hehe. Don't worry, with the Empire's medical technology, unless you die instantly, we can save you." Wan Zhongshan wiped his mouth and said viciously.
"Haha, you bastard, how does my phlegm taste? This is phlegm that I've stored for ten years."
"Ever since that beast Wang Batian ruined my family and caused my death ten years ago, this phlegm has been stuck in my throat, and no matter what I do, I can't get it out."
"I never expected you'd actually get to taste it today," Liu Shui laughed heartily.
Wan Zhongshan gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead and laugh. I hope you'll still be laughing when you're in the interrogation room."
Wan Zhongshan reached out and grabbed Liu Shui. To prevent Liu Shui from biting his tongue and committing suicide, he planned to break Liu Shui's limbs and dislocate his jaw. Otherwise, he would have let the kid off too easily.
Suddenly, a point of light appeared in the room, then grew to the size of a fist, then to the size of a basketball, and finally to a space door that was 2 meters high and 1 meter wide.
Seeing this amazing scene, Wan Zhongshan stopped what he was doing, and his subordinates also stopped moving.
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of the Mingyu Empire, Wang Batian suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance. His figure vanished instantly.
Seeing that the spatial gate had already formed, Lin Qing used his divine sense to manipulate spiritual power, forming an invisible giant hand that passed through the spatial gate and witnessed this scene.
Immediately, an invisible hand grabbed Liu Shui, pulled him inside, and disappeared into the room.
Before Wan Zhongshan and the others could react, Lin Qing immediately detonated the spiritual energy and then ordered the system to close the spatial gate.
"boom!"
A huge explosion blasted the entire villa into ruins, leaving behind a bloody mess of severed limbs.
In a short while, Wang Batian appeared in the ruins of the villa.
Wang Batian said expressionlessly, "It seems I'm too late." He then raised his hand and reached into the ruins.
A dark figure broke through the numerous obstacles of the ruins and flew to Wang Batian's front. This dark figure was none other than Wan Zhongshan.
"Your Majesty, cough cough!" Wan Zhongshan managed to say a few words before he died.
"Damn it." Wang Batian cursed and then placed his palm on Wan Zhongshan's head to extract his memories.
"Very good. I didn't expect that the people in the world of Jade Dynasty would have the means to open a spatial gate. Dragon King, very good."
"It's just a pity that the dog I've raised for decades has died, but don't worry, you'll soon become my dog." Wang Batian immediately soared into the sky.
Wan Zhongshan's body, who had been loyal to Wang Batian for decades, was left alone on the ruins. A few hours later, a pack of wolves cleared the ruins clean.
"Kid, not bad, you've got guts." Lin Qing patted Liu Shui, who was still in a daze.
"Ah, ah, senior, this, I, I, then, you, senior," Liu Shui said incoherently.
"Don't say 'I' or 'I'. I used my great supernatural powers to pull you from the Mingyu World to the Zhuxian World. Now you are in the Zhuxian World in your true form."
“If you die here, you’re really dead,” Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Ah, really? Really? My true form?" Realizing what had happened, Liu Shui immediately stood up and touched himself here and there to confirm his identity.
It took Liu Shui a while to believe that he had really come from the Mingyu world to the Zhuxian world.
"Haha, that's great! I don't have to die now. I'll definitely be able to kill Wang Batian when he dies!" Liu Shui said excitedly.
"Also, thank you, Senior Dragon King, thank you, Senior Dragon King." Now Liu Shui was even more convinced that Lin Qing could help him avenge his grievances.
"By the way, senior, since you can pull me from the Mingyu World to the Zhuxian World, why don't you go to the Mingyu World?" Liu Shui asked.
Lin Qing: "Of course I also want to go to the Mingyu Empire and take care of Wang Batian directly, but the spatial gate cannot withstand my entry."
"Bringing you here today has also consumed the souls of the 'players' I've painstakingly collected over the past few days."
"Now I need to kill 7,954 more 'players' to collect 10,000 souls, so that I can open a spatial gate that can accommodate me by following the spatial coordinates of these souls."
Lin Qing is now worried that Wang Batian will prevent players from entering the world of Jade Dynasty. Although they can complete the main quest, they will lose that mysterious gift pack.
Lin Qing was really looking forward to the mysterious gift pack that the system would reward him with, but he didn't know what it was.
"Ah, Senior Dragon King, you actually, actually..." Liu Shui was extremely moved.
Lin Qing: "Don't worry, the players are immortal anyway. There are only 10,000 players, it won't be long."
"Ah, I'm so hungry, where am I?" Zhou Hong, who had been unconscious, suddenly woke up.
"Zhou, Zhou Hong, you've finally woken up!" Liu Shui excitedly threw herself at Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong: "Hey hey hey, I'm a straight man, stay away from me, okay? I'm not gay."
Liu Shui scratched his head: "What's a gay guy? Is it fun?"
"Pfft! Haha, are you two trying to make me laugh to death so you can inherit my cave?" Lin Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing as he watched their conversation.
"Huh? You, you're the Dragon King? Wait, something's not right, Liu Shui, your condition seems a bit different," Zhou Hong exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, yes, it was Senior Dragon King. Originally, Wan Zhongshan broke my game pod and captured me. It was Senior Dragon King who used his great supernatural powers to pull me from the Mingyu Empire to the Zhuxian World."
Liu Shui excitedly explained to Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong was even more shocked and looked at Lin Qing: "You, you can actually break through the barrier between two worlds?"
Lin Qing: "It's nothing. If I weren't too powerful and the spatial gate I opened couldn't withstand my entry, I would have killed Wang Batian long ago."
Liu Shui: "Yes, as long as 10,000 'players' are killed, Senior Dragon King can collect 10,000 strands of souls and then open the spatial gate to enter the Mingyu Empire."
Zhou Hong gasped: "Hiss—a Dou Zong expert, so terrifying, oh no, it's the Dragon King senior, so terrifying."
Lin Qing: "What the hell? This Doupo joke has been overused."
Zhou Hong smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, senior, I'm used to it, I'm used to it. Ugh, I feel so weak and uncomfortable."
Suddenly, Zhou Hong's expression changed drastically, as if he had realized something: "You, you, how do you know about Battle Through the Heavens?"
Lin Qing chuckled and said, "Hehe, how would I know? Don't you know?"
Zhou Hong suddenly laughed and said, "Indeed, I should have known, and you should know too, I know, right?"
Chapter 189 The Frenzied "Players" (Please subscribe, recommend, and vote for monthly tickets)
Lin Qing: "Of course I know."
Liu Shui was a little confused: "Seniors, what are you talking about?"
Lin Qing and Zhou Hong ignored Liu Shui's question: "Zhou Hong, I've removed the mark that Wang Batian planted on you. You're free now."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately checked his sea of consciousness. Sure enough, his sea of consciousness was clean and clear, without any unsightly marks.
"Big brother, thank you for your help. Waaah, I've had such a hard time these past few years. Being a phoenix for thousands of years has been incredibly lonely. Today I've finally found my people!"
For thousands of years in the world of Fengyun, Zhou Hong was all alone, and he was even besieged by Wang Batian. He had no one to confide in about his suffering.
He unexpectedly met a fellow villager, and then his emotions, which had been suppressed for thousands of years, burst forth.
Lin Qing comforted him, "Don't cry. Didn't you just say you were a straight man? Why are you crying now?"
Lin Qing didn't know how to comfort Zhou Hong. He himself was also a little lost, even though he had experienced so many worlds and met friends and partners.
But he was just a passerby in those worlds, and it was never a place he could stay for long. His home was just a 100-square-meter house that had no decorations and where he had lived for more than 20 years.
Zhou Hong immediately stopped crying: "Brother is right, I just couldn't hold it in."
Zhou Hong: "By the way, brother, what year did you travel here? I came in 2019. I'm from Kyoto."
Lin Qing: "I arrived a little earlier than you. I came here at the end of 2016. I'm from Y Prefecture, Nanhu Province."
Zhou Hong: "Big brother, you transmigrated a few years earlier than me, so you must have been in the world of Jade Dynasty for several thousand years?"
Lin Qing shook his head and said, "I'm different from you. All in all, it's only been a little over a hundred years since I transmigrated."
Zhou Hong looked utterly astonished and said, "How is that possible?"
Lin Qing: "Actually, it's not even a hundred years, at most twenty years. In Mr. Zombie's world, I was sealed by Uncle Nine for a hundred years."
To be honest, Lin Qing still harbors resentment about this matter. After a hundred years, Lin Qing is probably almost able to go home by now.
