Xingtetsu: You are not included in Elio's script!

The Star Train stopped at the boundary of the Ninth Dimension, which was referred to by the learned as the temporary anchor point of the 073 area.

The moment the hatch slid open, Lin Yu felt a strong disruption of the established rules.

The space here is like crumpled paper, with light and shadow twisted into strange arcs. Tiny, regular silver fragments float in the air, causing a slight stinging sensation when they touch the skin, as if forcibly dismantling the life force energy within him.

He injected the "energy adaptant" that Nguyen Mai had prepared in advance into his body. The medicine flowed through his meridians and instantly calmed the restlessness of his fate.

Clutching the "early warning device" jointly made by Lin Ruan and Xue Ying in his palm, a faint silver light flickered on the instrument screen, guiding the way.

Dan Heng's voice came from behind, "The nine-dimensional space can change at any time. If you encounter danger, contact us immediately using the emergency communicator. We will be on standby at the anchor point."

Lin Yu nodded without turning around.

He knew his companions were watching him from behind, but now he had to go on alone.

The disorder of the rules at the boundary of the nine dimensions will interfere with the collaboration of multiple people. Excessive energy fluctuations will attract the attention of the monitor. Only he, who can bear the "variables" of 19 different destinies, can find and resonate with the rules in the cracks between the rules.

As one ventures deeper into the ninth dimension, the spatial distortion becomes increasingly severe.

The path that was originally straight will suddenly bend, and the distant scenery will be sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. You can even see overlapping light and shadow, which is where fragments of space from different dimensions converge.

Lin Yu mobilized the energy of his Origin Destiny Path and condensed it around his body. This was the destiny path closest to the origin of the Imaginary Tree, which could stabilize the surrounding rule fluctuations to a certain extent.

The warning light suddenly brightened, and the ripples on the screen pulsed violently.

Lin Yu stopped and looked up.

In the void ahead, a ball of silver light was slowly rotating, surrounded by fine patterns, like a cocoon woven from countless silver threads.

That should be the echo of the rules, and the core of the last destiny he was searching for.

Before he could get close, the regular patterns around the ball of light suddenly exploded, turning into more than a dozen silver blades that shot towards him.

Lin Yu's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately activated his Final Fate.

The properties of the end and the rule are exactly in opposition.

Black energy condensed into a barrier in front of him, and the silver blade struck the barrier, turning into tiny fragments of rules and dissipating.

Lin Yu could feel the resistance emanating from the ball of light; it was the instinctive defense of the ninth dimension against lower-dimensional life.

He did not force his way closer. Instead, he closed his eyes and released the energies of both the origin and the end of destiny simultaneously. The two intertwined to form a complete cycle, which is the underlying logic of the rule of destiny.

Energy swirled in the void, forming a spiral of light that slowly approached the Echo of Rules.

The moment the light band touched the silver light cluster, the cluster's repulsive force significantly weakened. The regular patterns stopped attacking and instead began to resonate with the light band. The silver light intertwined with the gold and black colors, forming a magnificent cocoon of light in the void.

Lin Yu opened his eyes and sensed the information transmitted by the echoing rules, which was the core logic of the nine-dimensional rules.

Rules are not constraints, but rather a framework for balance.

The monitors have distorted the nature of the rules, turning them into tools for controlling lower dimensions. The true destiny of the rules lies in understanding and utilizing this balance, not in abusing it.

He reached out, and the moment his fingertips touched the silver ball of light, a massive surge of energy flowed into his body through his fingertips.

Unlike the resonance at the end and the origin, the energy of rules did not bring a strong shock to consciousness. Instead, it was like a gentle stream, slowly flowing into his destiny.

He could clearly feel that the destiny within his body was beginning to rearrange itself according to some kind of order.

Origin and End serve as the two ends, and Rule Energy serves as the link, connecting the remaining 17 Destinies into a complete cycle. The boundaries of each Destiny become blurred, yet they can be precisely invoked when needed.

The screen of the warning device suddenly went dark, and the surrounding disorder gradually subsided.

He completely absorbed the echoes of the rules, and the local rules of the nine-dimensional boundary were restored to balance.

Lin Yu clenched his fist, and silver rule energy condensed in his palm. He could clearly "see" the patterns of the surrounding space, and even slightly adjust the local rule fluctuations, such as restoring distorted light and shadow to normal and calming down floating rule fragments.

He looked up in the direction of the Star Train, a smile playing on his lips.

Having gathered all 20 destinies, he finally possessed the ability to confront the Nine-Dimensional Monitor.

The life energies within the body are no longer independent entities, but have formed an organic whole. The origin provides life, the end brings conclusion, the rules maintain balance, and the remaining life energies perform their respective functions within this framework, together constituting the power to protect the universe.

Lin Yu turned and walked towards the anchor point.

The space at the nine-dimensional boundary was no longer distorted; he seemed to be walking in his own domain, each step landing precisely on the nodes of the rules.

The distant Star Train gradually came into focus, his companions were waiting for him, and the final battle against the Watchers and to reverse the Last King's prophecy was about to begin.

When he returned to the anchor point, Dan Heng, standing at the hatch, saw the silver energy surrounding him and a knowing glint flashed in his eyes. "Success?"

Lin Yu nodded, silver light patterns emanating from his palm. "Yes, the Rules of Destiny, I've got it."

Aha suddenly rushed over like a whirlwind.

"You got it so easily? When you were looking for the End and the Origin of Fate, you had to fight remnant souls and venture into the abyss. How come you just went in and took a stroll around the Rules of Fate and got it done?"

Lin Yu shrugged; he hadn't expected to obtain it so easily.

At this moment, a long-lost notification sound suddenly rang in Lin Yu's mind.

It was the system voice he hadn't heard in a long time.

[Ding! Detected that the host has collected 20 different destinies. Main quest "Collecting Destinies" is complete. Current progress: 20/20.]

[Mission Reward: 100 million Sky Coins, already deposited into the system inventory, unlocking "Life Ascension Qualification".]

"Lin Yu? What's wrong?" Liu Ying noticed his unusual behavior and went up to ask.

Lin Yu snapped out of his daze, looked up at everyone, and said, "I can start preparing for my promotion."

“You have obtained the qualification. Next, you need to return to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and use the key to connect to the memory chain,” said the Venerable Master.

...

Before long, Lin Yu led everyone to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Countless thick roots crisscrossed in mid-air, with energy patterns flowing slowly within them.

In the center of the core area, a main root that is a hundred times thicker than the other roots stands tall. At the top of the main root floats a huge golden cocoon of light, which is the "memory chain core" of the Imaginary Tree, containing all the knowledge and energy since the birth of the universe.

The data stream of the Bo Shi Zun condensed in front of the main root. "Lin Yu, step forward. Now, take out the key in your hand."

Lin Yu took a deep breath and took out the golden key from his backpack.

The moment the key left my pocket, it was drawn by the energy of the main root.

"Now, listen carefully to my instructions." The voice of the Venerable Master Boshi became exceptionally serious.

"Insert the key into your heart, where the core of your destiny energy is located, and the only interface for the memory chain to connect. The moment it is inserted, all the energy of the Imaginary Tree and the memory chain will be sent into your body. That power is enough to tear apart the consciousness of an ordinary life. You must hold on and not be swallowed by the flood of memories."

"Inserted into the heart?"

March 7th couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, filled with worry, "Will it hurt a lot? What if I can't hold on?"

"Pain is inevitable, but what is more dangerous is the loss of consciousness."

"The memory chain contains the rise and fall of countless civilizations, the evolution of the universe, and even the secrets of the rules of the nine-dimensional space. The vast amount of information will overwhelm your consciousness, and if you relax even slightly, you will be lost in the memories forever."

Lin Yu gripped the key tightly and looked at the people around him.

Aha trembled slightly with nervousness, but still gave him a thumbs-up. Huang Quan tightened his grip on the katana, his eyes full of trust.

Lin Ruan and Xue Ying had red eyes, but they held back their tears.

Estella, Firefly, March 7, Hoshino, and the others all had worry in their eyes.

"I'm ready."

Lin Yu raised his hand and pointed the key at his heart.

That is where the energy of destiny converges, and 20 kinds of destiny light patterns shimmer faintly under the skin, as if responding to the call of the key.

"insert!"

As soon as the Master of Knowledge gave the order, Lin Yu plunged the key into his heart without hesitation.

"Pfft!"

The moment the crystal pierced his skin, a piercing pain shot through him, causing him to groan involuntarily.

But even more intense shocks were yet to come.

As soon as the key was fully inserted, the main root burst forth with a dazzling golden light, and countless streams of energy, like a rushing river, surged into his body along the key.

"Ugh!"

Lin Yu's body trembled violently, and the energy of his destiny surged wildly within him, as if it were about to be dispersed by external energy.

Countless fragments of memory exploded in his mind: the chaotic energy at the birth of the universe, the formation of the first world bubble, the ancient battles, the first end-of-the-world crisis triggered by the Last King, and the scene of the Watchers setting the rules...

These memories, like sharp fragments, constantly sliced ​​through his consciousness.

"Hold on!" Aha's voice pierced through the torrent of energy.

Lin Yu's consciousness was struggling on the verge of collapse, with more and more fragments of memories accumulating in his mind, and he even began to hallucinate.

He saw himself become the Last King, standing on the ruins of the universe.

And then he saw himself become a watcher, coldly watching civilization crumble.

But at that moment, he remembered Lin Ruan and Xue Ying's tears, and Huang Quan's smile when he regained his memories... These memories were like a ray of light, instantly dispelling the illusion.

"I can't lose... I absolutely can't lose!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth, mobilizing all the life energy within his body, attempting to merge with the surging memory chains.

As time passed, Lin Yu's body was gradually enveloped in golden energy, and he floated in mid-air.

Beneath his skin, golden memory chain patterns intertwined with the light patterns of 20 different destinies, while the surrounding main root energy grew weaker and weaker, clearly indicating that most of it had already merged into his body.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last strand of memory flooded into his consciousness, Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

His pupils turned gold, as if they contained the entire galaxy of the universe.

The key inserted into the heart has disappeared, replaced by a golden pattern on the chest, a mark of the fusion of the memory chain and the energy of destiny.

He landed slowly on the ground, his energy gradually receding, leaving only a soft halo.

Lin Yu clearly felt that his body had undergone a qualitative change; he was no longer an ordinary human being, but a "high-dimensional being" who had merged with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

He can "see" the operation of every world bubble, "perceive" the flow of every wisp of energy in the universe, and even "hear" the whispers of ancient times in the memory chain.

Suddenly, the Venerable Master appeared before him and said, "You have succeeded. You have ascended from a human to the core of the Imaginary Tree of Numbers and have mastered everything about the Imaginary Tree of Numbers."

Lin Yu raised his hand, golden energy emanating from his palm. He gently clenched his fist, and a dilapidated, nearly collapsing world bubble in the distance instantly vanished.

This is the power of “destruction”.

With a gentle tap, a new world slowly formed in the void.

This is the power of "creation".

"But remember."

"You can 'destroy' any world bubble, and you can 'create' a new world bubble, but you cannot 'change' the trajectory of an existing world bubble."

"This is the core rule of the Imaginary Tree, and it is also the bottom line for you as the core of consciousness. Once it is broken, you will be devoured by the energy of the Imaginary Tree and lose your power forever."

Lin Yu was stunned. He looked at his hand and realized that this power was not without limits.

But he soon understood the significance of the rule.

Every world bubble has its own destiny, and forcibly changing it will only cause chaos in the universe, just like a monitor forcibly setting rules.

“I understand.” Lin Yu’s eyes cleared. “My power is for protection, not for interference.”

He turned around and looked at the people who had been standing guard beside him.

Aha was the first to rush over and hug him. "Great! You did it! Now you can go to the ninth dimension and beat up those monitors!"

Lin Ruan threw herself into his arms, crying, "Dad! I was so worried about you! You can't take such risks again!"

...
