Mini World Game Console

This night's meteor shower was destined to be unforgettable for countless people.

No one had ever seen such a close and dense swarm of meteors. Rather than saying these meteors flew from Sky Capital across the lands, it would be more accurate to say they were attracted back home by their masters from various areas of Sky Capital.

The people of Mysterious Country were varied. Some were middle-aged and older individuals already asleep. Others were young people still at home watching TV, playing on their computers, or scrolling through their phones. Still others were students cramming for their college entrance exams…

Suddenly, they were struck by a distant red light from Sky Capital and, depending on their situation, fell into a variety of different states.

For the better ones, they slept deeply only to wake up as the country's urgently needed strategic talents.

For the slightly worse cases, they received such a beam of red light while playing games, which ruined the game.

And for even worse cases, they received the red light while driving or engaging in high-risk work; then it really depended on luck.

Dong Chengling belonged to the most special category.

As Ren Suo crashed into the balcony glass, Dong Chengling was also startled, almost losing her form. Half of her body was leaning out of the balcony, her hands in the air, her feet already off the ground—

Just when Ren Suo thought he had failed to avert the disaster, Dong Chengling gently slapped the balcony wall. Like a gymnast in a competition, she rotated in the air and lightly landed back in the safety area.

With a WHAM, Ren Suo slammed into the balcony glass door, the impact leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

"You suddenly rushing over really scared me," Dong Chengling hurried over to support Ren Suo, then glanced at the balcony. "Did you think I would fall?"

Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu, also startled by Ren Suo's actions, regained their composure. Gu Yueyan sat on the sofa and laughed, "Although Teacher Dong hasn't achieved her second turn, she already masters many Spells. It's only the third floor here, and with 'Clothing' activated, she would be fine."

Ren Suo smacked his lips, only then realizing a flaw in his thought process.

Dong Chengling isn't like me. Like Zhao Huo, she was a 'Top Student' who had received key national training. Although not on the level of the 'Geniuses' who furthered their studies at Sky Capital School, she had certainly also received the first chapter of the Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records.

If Yu Kuangtu was right, Dong Chengling, who was cultivating the Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records, possessed a Physical Condition far superior to ordinary people. Never mind using 'Clothing'; even without it, the mere height of the third floor would hardly pose a threat to her.

Initially, I thought Dong Chengling had Awakened while crossing the road and gotten hit by a car. And just now, I thought she had fallen while hanging clothes and broken her leg.

If Dong Chengling were just an ordinary person, these two scenarios would be possible. But considering Dong Chengling's capabilities, it felt incongruous for such accidents to be threatening. Even Ren Suo himself, as long as he activated 'Clothing', was basically immune to most everyday accidents.

"Are you alright? Weren't you wearing 'Clothing'?" Dong Chengling came over, took Ren Suo's hand, checked his shoulder, and shook her head helplessly, "It's all bruised."

Ren Suo had rushed over in such agitation that he hadn't switched his Skills. His mastery of 'Clothing' was only average, leading him to crash directly into the balcony glass door.

This glass door was not fragile. It was a knuckle thick, something ordinary people could not shatter—this wasn't a Jackie Chan movie, after all. Most household glass doors and windows are quite thick. If they could actually be shattered, manufacturers wouldn't dare sell them.

Watching Ren Suo's bruised shoulder and arm, Dong Chengling was both amused and moved. Holding his hand, she said, "There should still be some Iron Wine at home. I'll just…"

"No need. Don't forget who I am. I can perfectly heal such external injuries myself—"

Suddenly, a beam of red light pierced the walls, passed through Ren Suo's body, and entered Dong Chengling.

Ren Suo was slightly stunned. He turned to look at the clock in the room—11:06.

Has the Spirit Treasury of Mysterious Country already opened?

At this moment, Ren Suo also belatedly detected via Qi Cyclone that the world's Spiritual Energy concentration seemed to have slightly increased. However, Dong Chengling suddenly collapsed to the ground. He hurriedly squatted down and grabbed her hands. "What's wrong with you?!"

"I—" Before Dong Chengling could utter a word, Ren Suo personally experienced her agony.

It was a chaotic pain.

A reversed sense of space rapidly spread from their joined hands to his entire body, making it impossible for Ren Suo to even release his grip, as if he and Dong Chengling had become one entity.

His perspective, hearing, and touch were all chaotic. Light was no longer linear but twisted into strange curves. His body also began to disintegrate: his right hand appeared between his thighs, his stomach where his left hand should be, his mouth on his forehead, and his eyes in his belly button.

Yet his body told him he was still normal, not split and reassembled into a Picasso masterpiece.

It wasn't so much pain as it was a bomb—this sense of Chaos nearly made Ren Suo vomit. If there had been pain, it might have cleared his head. Instead, he felt as if he'd been on a 72-hour bus ride, trapped in a state of Dizziness between sleep and wakefulness.

He almost instinctively wanted to break free from this Dizziness. The method lay in his perception: the Chaotic Space seemed as if it could shatter with a touch. Ren Suo almost instinctively knew that if he used Spiritual Energy to touch any part of his chaotic body, he could inflict severe damage upon himself and thus break free from this spatial Chaos.

Logic told him not to do it, but the Dizziness and nausea made him prefer to endure pain just to break free.

What to do? What to do?

Just then, Ren Suo suddenly noticed that his sense of Chaos was lessening slightly, as if a miraculous Energy was flowing out of his body, through his arms, and returning to its owner…

"Let go," Dong Chengling's voice seemed to come from a very distant place.

Suddenly, Ren Suo recalled Lin Xianyu.

When Lin Xianyu Awakened, she suffered multiple injuries because her awakened spells were too powerful, causing her Awakening process to be fraught with harm. According to some posts on the internal network, although the Awakening process varied from person to person, this kind of situation often occurred to varying degrees if one possessed particularly powerful Spells that could affect reality.

And what about Dong Chengling?

The power of Space Spells is undeniable. Did she encounter this situation during her Awakening too?

In a flash, Ren Suo understood the truth—

The reason Dong Chengling lost her legs was that she couldn't endure the Chaotic Space during her Awakening. So, she touched the chaotic module, distorting her own legs to wake herself from the Chaos!

With her strength, it was impossible for her to be injured by an accident.

Alas.

Ren Suo sighed silently in his heart. Barely able to see the girl before him, her face covered in cold sweat, and having regained slight control over his body, he reached out and grabbed Dong Chengling's shoulders.

"Eating alone can be very lonely."

Dong Chengling's body trembled. A moment later, the chaotic space phenomenon that Ren Suo had just felt alleviate once again spread throughout his body.

Is there any way...

Spell Healing, Strong Heart Technique, Unlimited Energy...

Having equipped 'Unlimited Energy,' Ren Suo felt slightly better. Although Unlimited Energy consumed Lifespan, he couldn't care about that now.

Seeker of the Dao Correction Hat, Goddess Jade Pendant...

Unexpectedly, the 'Goddess Jade Pendant' greatly alleviated the dizzying sense of Chaos. Recalling its description, could it be that Dong Chengling's current condition, categorized as 'chaotic Corrupted Spiritual Energy,' was being somewhat purified by the Jade Pendant?

"Big Brother Ren!" "Teacher Dong!"

Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu's voices came from all directions. Ren Suo and Dong Chengling said simultaneously, "Don't touch us!"

Amidst the omnipresent sound of wind and rain, Ren Suo heard one of the girls anxiously making a phone call and felt a sense of relief. It seemed other Cultivators from the academy would soon come to help.

However, within a short while, the chaotic fluctuations transmitted from Dong Chengling grew increasingly intense. Even Ren Suo, who had managed to reduce the sensation of Chaos by five or six layers for himself, was starting to struggle.

Ren Suo could feel that the chaotic fluctuations from Dong Chengling were at least twice as strong as his own. It was clear her senses were probably being shredded by the Chaotic Space, to the point she couldn't even maintain a cohesive consciousness.

"Why?" Dong Chengling's voice caused the Chaotic Space to shift again, and an intense wave of nausea made Ren Suo's entire body numb.

"...There is no why."

Ren Suo thought he heard rapid footsteps. Yet, the changes in Dong Chengling also seemed to be reaching their climax. The Chaos washed over Ren Suo's will like a torrential flood. Even his senses were being sliced into countless pieces by space, and he could no longer feel the integrity of his own body.

"Sister Ling, Ren Suo, someone will be here soon!"

"Teacher Dong, Big Brother Ren, you guys have to be alright!"

The pressure was like an Avalanche, threatening to crush the last thread of Ren Suo's will, yet ironically leaving just that single line to endure the torturous, immense weight.

Ren Suo inwardly cursed himself. What was I showing off for? Now I've really made a fool of myself. However, he pulled Dong Chengling closer, taking on more of the chaotic fluctuations from her.

I'm the one with all the cheats; I should at least let the newbie lean on me a bit.

"Do you... regret it?"

"A bit."

"What... were you trying to tell me..."

"I, I wanted to..."

When Ren Suo finally passed out, a chase was unfolding thousands of miles away in Sky Capital.

Interestingly, both the pursuer and the pursued had a significant connection to Ren Suo.
