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

[Main Quest Issued: Host, please devise a plan to save all the people of Cangnan. A generous reward will be given upon completion of the quest.]

As Lin Xiao walked toward Lin Qiye's house, his brows furrowed. The great calamity of Cangnan weighed heavily on his heart like a mountain.

Back then, he and Wan'er were both killed by Shiva's Wrath. His original plan was to use the God Experience Card when the miracle disappeared, and forcibly protect himself and Lin Wan'er with the power of the Primordial Dao Domain.

"System, isn't it too much to ask me to save Cangnan in my current state? Do you have any ideas?"

[Host, please rest assured. You only need to follow Lin Qiye's main storyline to gradually unlock main quests and obtain corresponding rewards. These rewards will include the method to save Cangnan.]

"System, how do we deal with the Key to the Gate in the River of Time? It exists in all of time and space. Once it discovers my existence, won't it try every means to kill me?"

[Host, there is no need to worry. Hongjun and Rahu have meticulously arranged to completely hide and erase your heavenly secrets. Even the Key to the Gate, or even Azathoth, cannot see through you.]

Hearing the system's explanation, Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then continued to ask:

"Could you reveal the specific details of the reward? That way I can better plan my strategy."

[Calamity strikes, gods fall, souls are sacrificed, laws return, time reverses, reflecting across the heavens.]

Lin Xiao frowned even more, because the system's prediction was vague and did not clearly tell him the specific reward.

"Xiao, what's wrong? Your brows are furrowed so tightly, it looks like you could trap a fly in them."

Lin Wan'er looked at Lin Xiao's furrowed brows, shook the hand he was holding, and her eyes were full of worry.

Lin Xiao then came to his senses, his eyes sparkling with tenderness. He could only try his best to make arrangements. If he really couldn't change fate, then he would do everything in his power to protect Wan'er.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that our Wan'er is so beautiful, I wonder which rascal will steal her away in the future."

Lin Xiao joked with a smile, trying to divert Lin Wan'er's attention.

Sure enough, Lin Wan'er immediately pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "No way, I want to stay with you for the rest of my life."

Lin Xiao smiled, but failed to notice the complex light in Lin Wan'er's eyes.

……

"Xiao Qi has been selected by the army?"

A middle-aged woman with a weathered face covered her mouth in surprise. Lin Qiye's eyes had only recovered a few days ago, and she never expected that he would be selected to join the army so soon.

Zhao Kongcheng sat on the sofa and gently pushed his identification documents over.

"Yes, we came here specifically to pick up Lin Qiye and take him to the army."

Aunt picked up the documents and examined them carefully, her face full of worry. She gently patted Lin Qiye's arm beside her.

"Xiaoqi, why didn't you tell your aunt about such a big thing as signing up for the army? Did you think your aunt would stop you?"

Lin Qiye scratched his head awkwardly, speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

A complex emotion flashed in Yang Jin's eyes. He looked at Lin Qiye, his voice tinged with hesitation: "Brother, are you really determined to go?"

Lin Qiye's gaze was firm; he knew that he could not back down in order to protect Yang Jin and his aunt.

“Yes, I’m going!” Lin Qiye said decisively.

Yang Jin opened his mouth, but in the end, all that came out was a long, helpless sigh.

Aunt turned to look at Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er, who were clinging to each other, and took out a few crumpled banknotes from her slightly tattered, patched pocket, trying to stuff them into Lin Xiao's hand.

"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Wan'er, Xiao Qi has only had you two as friends since he was little. We'll have to trouble you to take care of him from now on." The aunt's words were full of pleading.

Lin Xiao held his aunt's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Auntie, you don't need to do this. We are good friends with Qi Ye, and it is only right that we take care of each other."

Lin Wan'er quickly declined, saying, "Yes, Auntie, we've often come to your place for a meal when we're craving something delicious over the years, and you've never said it's a bother."

Under the sincere and firm gazes of Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er, Aunt had no choice but to reluctantly put away the banknotes.

"Xiao Wan'er, whenever you and Xiao Xiao come back and want to eat my cooking, just come, and I'll make it for you." Aunt's words were full of care.

Lin Wan'er sweetly replied, "Okay!"

Lin Xiao turned to look at Yang Jin, stood up, pointed to Yang Jin's room, and said with a hint of mystery in his tone, "Jin, would you mind talking to me?"

Now that he has decided to devise a plan to save Cangnan, he must raise the power he can enhance to its peak.

In the original story, Yang Jian, before fully recovering his power, annihilated Indra with overwhelming force.

The system's prophecy mentions "the fall of gods," so the death of one or two gods shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Moreover, he also wanted to witness firsthand Yang Jian's heroic figure in his prime, slaying through the outer gods.

Yang Jin looked puzzled, clearly unsure what Lin Xiao wanted to see him about.

His aunt gently nudged him, signaling him to agree.

Yang Jin nodded and walked into the room first.

Lin Xiao smiled kindly and waved to everyone: "You all chat first, Ah Jin and I have some secrets to discuss."

He went into the room, closed the door, and locked it from the inside.

Yang Jin's doubts deepened. He looked at Lin Xiao, waiting for an explanation.

"Primordial Dao Domain!"

Lin Xiao gave a low shout, and the Divine Ruins instantly unfolded, filled with the aura of the Dao, completely isolating the two of them from the outside world.

"Dao... Dao Ancestor!" Yang Jin was so shocked that he took two steps back. He never expected that Lin Xiao was related to Dao Ancestor.

Under Yang Jin's shocked gaze, he slowly extended his right hand: "Let me introduce myself again, Lin Xiao, the divine agent of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou."

"To stop the war and bring peace to Jin, should I call you Yang Jin, or... Erlang Shen Yang Jian?"

Yang Jin's pupils contracted sharply, but he quickly regained his senses, gave a wry smile, and reached out to grasp Lin Xiao's hand: "Right now, I am Yang Jin. When we return, I will be Yang Jian."

Lin Xiao smiled slightly and transferred a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi from his palm into Yang Jin's body: "This should help you recover your cultivation quickly, right?"

The Primordial Purple Qi is regarded as the foundation of the Great Dao. It is a natural manifestation of the interaction between heaven and earth and is an extremely special and precious innate Qi.

Even a mortal spirit without any cultivation or practice can gain unlimited lifespan and immortality simply by obtaining a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi. With a little guidance in the future, it may be able to awaken the Forbidden Ruins.

If it weren't for the system rewarding them with the Forbidden Ruins Awakening Scroll, Lin Xiao would have unhesitatingly transferred the Primordial Purple Qi to Lin Wan'er and Zhao Kongcheng to awaken their Forbidden Ruins.

Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult for him to cultivate the Primordial Purple Qi, so he could only pass through this wisp.

However, this wisp of primordial purple energy should be enough to help Yang Jin quickly recover his cultivation.
