The moment her fingertips touched the bead, a warm force traveled up her fingertips, and then, as if it had a mind of its own, the bead began to crawl into her palm.

Before Shen Chumo could react, the bead transformed into a streak of light and shot straight into her body.

In an instant, Shen Chumo felt a powerful force surging within her body. It felt as if her meridians were being pierced by thousands of steel needles at the same time, and the intense pain made her scream in agony.

Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and strange red lines appeared on her skin, these lines meandering across her body as if they were alive.

Shen Chumo gritted her teeth, trying to control the power, but it was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, charging around recklessly and completely uncontrollable.

She felt as if her body was about to burst from this force, and her breathing became rapid and difficult.

Just when she was about to give up, images of her past struggles suddenly flashed through her mind—the days when she was abandoned by her parents and bullied by evil forces, and the despair and helplessness that welled up in her heart every time.

These images acted like an invisible force, supporting Shen Chumo.

I must succeed.

She focused her mind and began to guide this power, letting it flow slowly along her meridians.

With her guidance, the pain in my body gradually lessened, and the red lines slowly disappeared.

The power began to mellow, gradually merging with her body.

Shen Chumo could clearly feel her power constantly increasing, and at the same time, those long-forgotten memories returned to her mind.

Every world she had ever experienced flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

It turns out that this world is the special world she made a bet with the main god. After entering this world, she will completely lose contact with Tuanzi and also lose her memories.

No wonder everyone says that the special world is extremely dangerous. If Tuanzi hadn't secretly placed her lotus ring on her, she probably would have died in the arena long ago.

After the power of the bead fully merged into her body, Shen Chumo slowly opened her eyes, which shimmered with a strange light.

She gently clenched her fist, feeling the surging power within her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

...

Outside the Spirit Lake, the people who were engaged in fierce fighting suddenly felt a tremor beneath their feet. When they turned around, they saw that the water of the Spirit Lake was churning, as if some enormous power was brewing at the bottom of the lake.

The once calm, mirror-like lake surface was now turbulent, with water splashing everywhere and waves crashing against the shore with terrifying force.

"What's going on?" someone in the crowd shouted in alarm.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and the battle temporarily ceased due to this unexpected turn of events.

Some timid people began to back away, fearing that the spirit lake might suddenly spew out something terrible.

Anpu frowned. Although Linghu Lake had been experiencing frequent tremors recently, none had ever been as violent as today.

He had a vague sense of unease.

At this moment, several figures flew in from the sky, their expressions solemn as they gazed at the Spirit Lake.

Those below all changed their expressions upon seeing them, for they were all powerful figures from various families.

It turned out that they hadn't appeared earlier because they were hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike. However, the sudden change in the Spirit Lake forced them to act prematurely.

At this moment, the churning of Linghu Lake became even more ferocious, with huge waves crashing against the shore, and the splashing water turning into fine mist that permeated the surroundings.

The powerful figures from those families hovered in mid-air, their robes fluttering wildly in the gale, their expressions grim as they gazed at the Spirit Lake.

The people of the Heavenly Realm exchanged glances and then quietly gazed at the Spirit Lake.

At this moment, the whispers among the crowd grew increasingly noisy, and a sense of unease spread rapidly like a plague.

The timid had retreated to a distance, while some of the more courageous gripped their weapons tightly and stared nervously at the spirit lake.

Suddenly, a huge column of water surged up from the center of the spirit lake, shooting straight into the sky.

Within the water column, a blurry figure seemed to appear and disappear.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it, and their hearts involuntarily raced.

"What...what is that?" a young orc asked in a trembling voice, his sword swaying slightly.

Just as everyone was wondering, Shen Chumo slowly emerged from the water column, surrounded by light.

"Chu Mo!"

Three voices rang out simultaneously, their tones filled with disbelief.

Anpu, in particular, had always believed that Shen Chumo was long dead, so how could she suddenly appear from the Spirit Lake?

Shen Chumo glanced at everyone, a smile playing on her lips. She slowly said, "I am Shen Chumo, the master of Spirit Lake. Spirit Lake now belongs to me. If you want to leave safely, retreat quickly and do not come any closer to Spirit Lake. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Her voice was clear yet carried an undeniable authority, reaching everyone's ears distinctly amidst the chaos.

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar.

An Daosheng, the head of the An family, stared directly at Shen Chumo with his hawk-like eyes. "Young friend, don't joke around. Everyone knows that this Spirit Lake has always belonged to our An family. You suddenly appear and claim to be the master of the Spirit Lake. Don't you respect our An family?"

His words were calm, yet carried the questioning tone of a superior. The An family members behind him echoed him, their eyes filled with doubt about Shen Chumo's remarks.

Anpu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Wait a moment, grandfather, I have something to say to Miss Chu."

An Daosheng frowned slightly, his gaze shifting from Shen Chumo to An Pu. Seeing his grandson's anxious expression, he was puzzled but still nodded slightly. "Pu'er, speak your mind, but we need to act quickly. The situation at Linghu is critical and cannot be delayed."

Anpu glanced gratefully at his grandfather, then turned to face Shen Chumo, his eyes filled with complex emotions—a mixture of surprise and confusion. "Chumo, it's been so long... I..."

He paused, seemingly considering how to phrase it, "I always thought you had met with some misfortune, but now that I see you are safe and sound, I am very relieved."

"But the ownership of Spirit Lake concerns the entire An family. Chu Mo, stop joking around. Come home with me, okay? I promise I'll protect you this time."

He Lun and Pei Yan were also alarmed when they heard An Pu's words. They rushed forward and scolded him, "An Pu, you shameless thing! If it weren't for you, Chu Mo wouldn't have ended up in the fighting arena. How dare you say such a thing?"

Anpu was slightly taken aback. The arena? Chu Mo went to the arena? And what about He Lun and Pei Yan? Why did they suddenly jump out?

"Are you Anpu?" Shen Chumo tilted her head, curiously examining Anpu. After regaining her memories, she also learned about the plot and mission of this world.
