I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

A comical expression appeared on Nian's face: "What are you trying to do? If I let go, it won't just be this warm, nor will it just be this heavy."

“Okay.” Li Lin readily agreed and naturally changed the subject.

"Hey you...aren't you curious why I came here?"

Nian stroked his chin with interest and smiled somewhat ambiguously, "This is the first time I've ever made an entrance like this. If you were to call this a movie, even by my standards, it seems a bit too stimulating."

She took two steps forward and poked Li Lin's chest with her finger: "And... can you tell me why you would get them to believe in me?"

Li Lin glared with dead fish eyes: "You poked me too hard. Also, don't poke me in the buttocks."

Nian stared at him blankly: "Does your kid have that kind of thing?"

"What makes you so sure I'm a man?" Li Lin retorted instinctively. "I'm so angry that tears are streaming down my face, I'm trembling all over, and my hands and feet are freezing cold in the dead of winter. Can this society ever get any better? Hell is empty, all the devils are here."

"Wait a minute..."

Nian rubbed her temples and took a few steps back. The next moment, she chuckled, "You're quite an interesting person."

Li Lin held his head high and chest out, feeling proud rather than ashamed.

Nian laughed even louder: "Hey, no way, you're really funny! I've decided, I'm going to protect you!"

She patted Li Lin on the shoulder with a playful laugh: "You're so interesting. I've never met anyone like you before."

Li Lin's heart stirred slightly.

Could it be that my spring, which has been blessed by a kemonomimi girl, has finally arrived...?

He opened his mouth to utter a cheesy pickup line, when suddenly a thunderous voice boomed in his ears: "White Emperor Holy Sword!"

A group of burly men, panting and covered in sweat, rushed in from outside the fog. Most of them were holding hammers and pickaxes, and a few were carrying bottles of liquor.

They didn't look like the kind and amiable leader of the cult who came to rescue them; they looked more like people who had been drinking and were about to start a brawl.

Aside from the Kingslayer who had temporarily collapsed from exhaustion, only Nian and Li Lin were in the gray fog. So, it was only natural that this group of Ursus people, who had nowhere to vent their energy, would target Nian.

"Mr. Li Lin, don't be afraid! We'll get you out right away!"

But the problem is that the year is the object of their faith, isn't it?

Li Lin turned his head and saw Nian also giving him an ambiguous look.

The newly minted cult leader smacked his lips, took a deep breath of the lingering secondhand smoke, and said in a deep breath, "The weather is nice today. Actually, Junjun and I were just playing around when we accidentally disturbed my wife, so we had a fun group activity. How about that? My time management skills are pretty good, right? Hahaha, don't get the wrong idea."

After he finished speaking, Li Lin felt as if he had been enlightened. The sentence he just spoke had a total of seventy-eight characters. If he shouted it a few more times, wouldn't he be able to add several hundred more characters?

So he took another drag of secondhand smoke and repeated the above passage: "The weather is nice today. Actually, Junjun and I were just playing around when we accidentally disturbed my wife, so we had a fun group activity. How about that? My time management skills are pretty good, right? Hahaha, don't get me wrong."

After taking advantage of the situation twice, Li Lin still felt unsatisfied. Fortunately, before he could repeat it for the third time, the gray fog had almost dissipated, and Andrei, who had rushed over, took away the bewildered Ursus bears.

"It's all settled." Li Lin turned around, beaming with pride.

“You…” Nian’s breathing quickened slightly, and she hesitated before continuing, “Never mind.”

She didn't consider herself to be as shameless as Li Lin, who could utter such a long string of nonsensical words without even taking a breath, and it seemed he was planning to say it a third time.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the temperature dropped again.

Originally, with the arrival of the year, the influence of casting that had lingered in this place had completely dissipated.

Li Lin ran back into the house first, and Nian shrugged and followed him in familiarly, closing the door behind him.

"Okay, let's get serious for now." Nian sat down on Li Lin's bed first. "First of all, you know who I am, right?"

This sentence is expressed in an affirmative tone.

Li Lin stared at the bed that no longer belonged to him, his eyes narrowed, and after a moment's thought, he decided to give in.

No, it's not because the person in front of me is a cute white-haired girl, nor is it because she's an immortal, hmph.

Standing by the window, Li Lin nodded slightly. The winter sun shone on his profile, making his features appear three-dimensional, like a marble sculpture, and his eyes deep, like a night sky adorned with stars.

Having just witnessed Li Lin's illness, it's unlikely that Nian would fall for the same trick again so quickly.

Sure enough, within seconds, Li Lin's eyes turned dead fish eyes, and it seemed that his psychotic personality was about to regain the upper hand.

Seeing that things were not going well, the young man coughed and said, "Since you know, I won't repeat it again... Anyway, although we are fragments of that guy, we also wield the corresponding power. Some of my brothers and sisters like to cook, some like to paint, some live in the Forbidden Palace of the Great Yan, and some have created their own world to entertain themselves."

"Well—I don't know where you found out my name, but first of all, thank you. Although I don't really care about my own life or death, what you did at least allowed this world to last a little longer... Eh, does that mean you saved the world?"

Nian slapped his white thigh, his expression excited: "By the way, do you want to be the lead in my movies someday?!"

The leap in their thinking shows that there's a reason why they hit it off so well at first sight.

19 This chapter seems to have written something, but it hasn't written anything at all (I'm sure of it).

"Making a movie?" Li Lin was shocked to hear this.

How did we go from discussing serious matters to making a movie?

Nian nodded: "Yes, don't you think that film as an art form is very interesting?"

She got into the mood and simply crossed her legs on Li Lin's bed, holding her ankles with both hands.

“You see, the history of the Terrans is very short compared to the land itself, so their innate desire is to leave their mark on this land. At first, it was on stones, then with paper and pen, and now there are movies.”

"It preserves a slice of the most stunning moments from a long period of time, and when it blooms, it amazes everyone. It's awesome!"

Nian raised his hands, his eyes sparkling, and reiterated his opinion: "So, how about you come and be my male lead?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lin began to let his imagination run wild and chuckled.

Did he misunderstand what I said...?

Nian tilted his head, opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, and the room fell silent again.

Fortunately, this lighthearted banter reminded Nian that now was not the time to talk about movies.

Nian looked thoughtfully at Li Lin, her gaze lingering on his left wrist, where Li Lin had been infected with Originium.

"By the way, aren't you infected, kid?"

Li Lin knew that he was infected and that it would be exposed sooner or later. Now that he had established the secret cult, revealing his infected identity at the right time was actually more beneficial than harmful.

Moreover, the person opposite is the object of the entire cult's faith, the "god" of the Terra continent, a naturally immortal young lady. Trying to hide it from her is simply wishful thinking.

"Yes."

"I think so, but your condition is quite serious."

Nian's eyes widened slightly, and a vibrant color flashed briefly in her pupils.

"This Originium seems to have penetrated deep into your blood vessels... no, it's almost fused with your bones. Normally, this kind of infection would mean you're already on your deathbed."

“But you didn’t. The spread of your Oripathy has stalled. It’s only on the surface of your wrist, as if the expansion has temporarily stopped. It’s quite interesting.”

Li Lin smacked his lips.

Other infected individuals experience a continuous worsening of their Oripathy symptoms even without using Originium Arts, while Li Lin's Oripathy does not spread when he does not use Originium Arts.

In addition, using the secret techniques obtained for free during the safe period will not cause the condition to worsen.

Seeing that Li Lin didn't intend to reveal his situation, Nian's eyes flickered slightly.

This was the first time she had encountered such an interesting human being. As the object of the cult's faith, she could even vaguely sense Li Lin's inner emotions.

If the inner spirit of a normal Terran person is like a stagnant pool, their mental defenses as fragile as a sheet of paper, then Li Lin has no mental defenses at all, but his inner spirit is like a dazzling, scorching star...

This is extremely rare, one in a million.

This is the only case in the long course of a person's life.

It should be known that Nian is a long-lived species, one of the native "deities" of this land.

The Lateran Bible says, "You shall not look directly at God."

The ancient traditions of the Yan Kingdom say, "The Supreme Purity of the Heavenly Realm radiates boundless light." This essentially describes the true form of the "deity" as something that cannot be directly looked at.

She had previously arrived riding on the magma of the earth's veins, and the resulting influence alone reached level two or higher.

The Kingkiller did not actually fall into a coma due to overuse of Originium Arts, but rather because her spirit came into direct contact with Nian and was instantly crushed and swallowed by Nian's enormous form.

However, Li Lin not only fully bore the enormous impact of the year, but also witnessed her transformation process. Theoretically, he should have been driven to a mental breakdown and become an idiot by the immense mental pressure.

But not only did he not become an idiot, he also occasionally infected the young people... It can be said that, to some extent, Li Lin possessed a "special ability" far beyond that of ordinary people.

This made Nian even more interested.

Li Lin had turned halfway around at some point, now facing her sideways.

After numerous tests, Li Lin became certain that the system before him was completely invisible to others if he so desired.

At this moment, two casting images lay quietly on the dark green table. These were taken by Li Lin from the grand entrance of the year, and he hadn't had time to study them carefully yet.

"I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat together."

Miss Nian rolled her eyes, jumped off the bed, and walked up to Li Lin, looking down at him.

When the topic of food came up, Li Lin's eyes lit up, and his attention immediately shifted from the table: "That's a good idea!"

Since Nian harbors no hostility towards him or the Mutual Aid Association, all Li Lin needs to offer is his precious body.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Li Lin and Nian arrived at the cafeteria and sampled Ursus's famous beetroot soup and fermented rice cake.

That's right, Ursus beet soup is actually similar to the famous borscht, except that the Ursus people, in order to resist the harsh northern climate, foolishly added yogurt to the soup. Li Lin repeatedly ordered them to change it, but these drunken bears always pretended to be stupid and fooled them.
