Godslayer: You get two at the start, Supreme Divine Ruins.

Lin Xiao gently held Lin Wan'er's hand and said with a smile, "Wan'er, I'm really fine, it doesn't hurt anymore, don't worry."

Don't be afraid about the Awakening of the Divine Ruins. With me here, it won't harm us. I'll handle everything. Just stay home and relax.

Lin Wan'er nodded obediently, and the panic in her eyes slowly faded.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Lin Xiao's face. He got up early to prepare to go to school with Wan'er.

Although he was preoccupied with the mission of rescuing Zhao Kongcheng and Wan'er's safety, he couldn't skip school without a valid reason.

Once at school, Lin Xiao kept a close eye on his surroundings.

During the break between classes, he happened to see Zhao Kongcheng, who was waiting near Lin Qiye's classroom.

Zhao Kongcheng was dressed casually, but his eyes revealed a fierce look, like a cheetah ready to pounce at any moment, staring at the direction where Lin Qiye might appear.

Lin Xiao's heart stirred. He knew that Zhao Kongcheng must have noticed Lin Qiye's unusual behavior after awakening the Divine Ruins and wanted him to join the Night Watchmen.

He also understood that, according to the original plot, Zhao Kongcheng would eventually die at the hands of the Ghost-Faced King, but now he had to find a way to change that ending.

For the next few days, Lin Xiao went to and from school with Lin Wan'er every day.

He remained vigilant at all times, his body secretly circulating the power of both Dao and Demonic sources, ready to deal with any potential dangers.

Lin Wan'er also sensed Lin Xiao's nervousness. She clung tightly to Lin Xiao's arm and obediently followed by his side, no longer as lively and playful as usual.

And so, a few peaceful days passed.

That day, just as Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er arrived at their doorstep, the system's cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in their minds.

[Attention, host! There is only one hour left before Zhao Kongcheng dies. Please go to his rescue as soon as possible, otherwise the mission will fail and you will not receive the reward.]

Lin Xiao's heart tightened. He looked at Wan'er beside him and said softly, "Wan'er, I have some urgent business to attend to. You stay home by yourself and be careful, okay? Don't come out if you hear any noise."

Although Lin Wan'er's eyes were full of worry, she still nodded obediently: "Xiao, you must be careful too. I'll wait for you to come back."

After giving her his instructions, Lin Xiao immediately headed towards Zhao Kongcheng's location.

He had read the original novel, so he naturally knew that Zhao Kongcheng was near Lin Qiye's house, and finding him wouldn't be difficult.

Lin Xiao was extremely anxious and ran like lightning towards the vicinity of Lin Qiye's house.

The scenery along the way flashed by in his eyes, and the cold countdown notification from the system kept echoing in his mind. Every second that passed seemed to urge him to speed up.

Before long, Lin Xiao arrived at the Wujie Void.

The place was shrouded in gloom, filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Lin Xiao had no time to worry about any of that. He took a deep breath and rushed into the Boundless Void without hesitation.

Upon entering, Lin Xiao saw Zhao Kongcheng kneeling on the ground not far ahead, with the tall and sinister figure of the Ghost-Faced King standing out prominently.

Zhao Kongcheng's expression turned solemn as he took out the Ghost God Summoning Technique, seemingly preparing to use this desperate move.

Lin Xiao was startled. He knew that once the Ghost God's Guidance was used, it would exhaust the user's resources to gain power. Even after Zhao Kongcheng obtained the Lifeless Flash Moon, he did not completely kill the Ghost Face King. It was only after Lin Qiye finished him off that the Ghost Face King was killed.

"Zhao Kongcheng, wait!" Lin Xiao shouted, his figure flashing like lightning to Zhao Kongcheng's side. Just as Zhao Kongcheng was about to inject the Ghost God Injection, Lin Xiao suddenly grabbed his hand, stopping him from doing so.

Zhao Kongcheng was startled by Lin Xiao's sudden appearance. He turned to look at him, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion: "Who are you? How did you get in? Why are you stopping me?"

Lin Xiao didn't have time to explain further, he just said quickly, "I'm here to help you. Don't be impulsive. Keep the Ghost God Guide for now, and leave the Ghost Face King to me."

After saying that, Lin Xiao released Zhao Kongcheng's hand and turned to face the terrifying Ghost-Faced King.

The Ghost-Faced King seemed to have noticed Lin Xiao's arrival and let out a sinister laugh: "Haha, another one coming to his death, kid. Do you think you can save him from me?"

Lin Xiao did not respond, but stared coldly at the Ghost-Faced King. His hands were secretly clenched in his sleeves, and he quietly held the God-Slaying Spear fragments he had obtained from the newbie gift pack in his hands.

Although this fragment of the God-Slaying Spear is only a small part, it contains powerful offensive capabilities and is his key trump card in dealing with the Ghost-Faced King.

Seeing that Lin Xiao did not answer, Ghost King roared and pounced on Lin Xiao with astonishing speed, bringing with him a burst of black yin energy.

Lin Xiao remained calm and composed. He mobilized the power of both Dao and Demon within his body, and his footwork changed strangely, skillfully avoiding the Ghost-Faced King's fierce attack.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Ghost-Faced King missed his attack, Lin Xiao seized the opportunity and fiercely stabbed the fragment of the God-Slaying Spear in his hand toward the Ghost-Faced King's face.

With the power of both Dao and Demonic sources amplified, the fragments of the God-Slaying Spear moved with lightning speed, instantly piercing into the Ghost-Faced King's face.

The Ghost-Faced King let out a painful roar, the sound echoing in the Boundless Void, causing ripples to appear in the surrounding darkness.

It struggled frantically, trying to pull the fragment of the God-Slaying Spear from its face, but the fragment seemed to take root, firmly embedded in its ghostly face, constantly releasing a powerful suction force.

This suction force is the special ability of the God-Slaying Spear fragment; it begins to frantically absorb the Yin energy and power within the Ghost-Faced King's body.

The Ghost King's body began to shrivel at a visible rate, its once tall and sinister figure becoming smaller and smaller, and its power was constantly being weakened.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao dared not relax in the slightest. He continued to fully activate the power of the dual source of Dao and Demon within his body to maintain the suction force of the God-Slaying Spear fragments, while remaining vigilant against the possible counterattack of the Ghost-Faced King.

In this tense standoff, the Ghost-Faced King's struggles grew increasingly feeble, and its eyes, which had originally emitted a ghostly green light, gradually dimmed. Finally, as the last bit of power was drained, the Ghost-Faced King's body turned into a pile of black ashes with a "bang" and dissipated in the Boundless Void.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing here? Do you also possess the Forbidden Ruins?"

A familiar voice rang in his ears. Lin Xiao turned around and saw that Lin Qiye had walked to Zhao Kongcheng's side and was carefully helping him sit down.

"Yo, Seven Nights, you've finally arrived."

Lin Xiao said with a smile, his tone relaxed and friendly.

He and Lin Qiye already knew each other and lived not far apart. Moreover, Lin Qiye, as the protagonist of the story, possessed extraordinary potential and charm.

Before obtaining the system, Lin Xiao naturally knew that he had to cling tightly to Lin Qiye's coattails in order to survive in this dangerous world.
