Another Dimensional Immortal Cultivation Tale: The Divine Doctor Against the Heavens

The smell of disinfectant stung Yunhai's nostrils. Staring at the operating lights on the ceiling, the rhythmic beeping of the monitors echoing in her ears, she suddenly grabbed Xiaoqian's wrist: "Are you sure you don't know Haitian?"

Xiaoqian took a half step back in fright, the IV tube rattling loudly as it was pulled: "Yunhai, wake up! There's no one named Haitian in our special forces!" Her pupils contracted slightly, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the silver chain around her neck—a birthday gift Yunhai had given her three years ago.

"Report!" Lin Hai suddenly burst into the ward, his camouflage uniform still covered in mud from the training ground. "Major Yun, there are abnormal magnetic field fluctuations at the base. We need your immediate..." His voice trailed off as he stared blankly at the sword-shaped birthmark on Yun Hai's wrist.

“This birthmark…” Lin Hai’s voice trembled, “I think I’ve seen it before.”

Yunhai felt a chill run down her spine; that birthmark was the mark left from her contract with the sword spirit a thousand years ago. She threw back the covers and got out of bed, revealing her scarred legs beneath her hospital gown—scars from the cliff face when she fell, now gleaming with an eerie blue light.

"Major!" Lin Hai hurriedly helped her up, "Your leg isn't healed yet..."

"Take me to the scene." Yunhai shook off his hand. "I want to see what's interfering with spacetime."

Inside the underground laboratory of the military base, the massive quantum collider emitted a deep roar. Yunhai stared at the wildly fluctuating curves on the oscilloscope, then suddenly frowned: "This isn't ordinary magnetic field fluctuation; it's a spacetime rift."

"Impossible!" The project manager pushed up his glasses. "Our equipment is still in the testing phase..."

Before she could finish speaking, the laboratory suddenly shook violently. A computer exploded, and in the flames, Xiaoqian's figure appeared in the smoke, holding a blood-stained dagger.

“Xiaoqian?” Yunhai’s pupils contracted sharply. “You…”

"I'm sorry, Yunhai," Xiaoqian's voice trembled with tears, "I had no choice..." She plunged the dagger into her heart, blood splattering onto the quantum collider, "Only this way can he come back..."

"Xiaoqian!" As Yunhai rushed over, a spatial rift suddenly opened. She watched helplessly as her best friend was sucked into the darkness, but at the last moment, she saw the silver chain around Xiaoqian's neck—hidden inside was half a jade pendant!

"Shut down the device!" Yunhai roared as he rushed toward the control panel, but was caught by Linhai.

"Are you crazy?" Lin Hai shouted. "This will trigger a chain reaction!"

"A chain reaction is better than letting the Evil Lord return!" Yunhai struggled, "Let go!"

Just then, the metal door of the laboratory suddenly twisted and deformed. A figure dressed in ancient attire slowly walked in, his halberd dripping with blood—it was none other than the Xuanxiao Divine Lord!

"Heir of the Yun family, how have you been?" Xuanxiao's voice was laced with sarcasm. "You thought you could gain happiness by breaking the law of causality? Now, it's time to pay the price."

"It was you who orchestrated this!" Yunhai gritted his teeth. "Xiaoqian's abnormality and the spacetime rift were all your doing!"

Xuanxiao sneered, "That's right. The fusion of gods and demons requires sacrifices, and your dearest best friend..." He suddenly swung his halberd at Lin Hai, "is the perfect vessel!"

"Watch out!" Yunhai instinctively lunged forward, only to see a golden glint flash in Lin Hai's eyes. He grabbed the tip of the halberd with his bare hands, actually forcing Xuanxiao back three steps!

"This power..." Xuanxiao exclaimed in shock, "Who exactly are you?"

Lin Hai looked down at his glowing palms, confusion flashing in his eyes: "I... I am Lin Hai, a special forces sniper..." He suddenly clutched his head and screamed, "No! I am... Hai Tian!"

Yunhai froze. Trembling, she touched Lin Hai's face. Those familiar sword-like eyebrows, those affectionate eyes—it was clearly Hai Tian, ​​whom she had been longing for day and night!

“Haitian…” Yunhai’s tears fell onto the back of his hand, “Is it really you?”

Lin Hai slowly raised his head, his eyes growing brighter with golden light: "Yunhai, my wife..." He suddenly knelt on one knee, "Your subordinate is late in protecting you."

Xuanxiao's face turned ashen: "So you had this all planned out all along! You deliberately had me cast you into reincarnation, all for this moment!"

“Not bad.” Lin Hai stood up. “I swear by the blood of the God of War that I will protect the Yun family for the rest of my life.” He waved his hand, and the spatial rift in the laboratory suddenly closed. “As for you…”

Seeing the situation was dire, Xuanxiao transformed into a bolt of lightning and fled. Lin Hai was about to give chase when Yun Hai stopped him: "Don't chase her, Xiaoqian is still inside!"

"Don't worry, she's safe for now." Lin Hai squeezed her hand. "After the fusion of gods and demons, all planes are undergoing correction. But we don't have much time left..."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Hai suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips, the salty, metallic taste of blood on his tongue. Yun Hai's eyes widened as she watched the name tag on his chest slowly melt away, revealing the jade pendant with the character "Hai" inside.

"Remember, no matter how many times I reincarnate, I will find you." Lin Hai's voice trailed off. "This time, it's my turn to protect you..."

When Yunhai awoke with a start, she found herself lying in her bed at the Prime Minister's residence. The peach blossoms outside the window were still there, but the modern hospital was nowhere to be seen. She hurriedly touched her chest; the jade pendant was intact, though still stained with undried blood.

"Madam, you're awake?" The maid Xiao Cui came in carrying a bowl of medicine. "Master said we have distinguished guests arriving today..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the courtyard. Yunhai rushed to the window and saw a general in silver armor dismount, the character "Hai" on his helmet gleaming in the sunlight.

“Haitian!” she blurted out.

The general looked up, a look of surprise in his eyes: "Madam, I'm back." He took off the jade pendant from his waist and matched it perfectly with Yunhai's jade pendant. "This time, I won't let you be alone again."

However, just as the two embraced, a sudden clap of thunder echoed across the sky. Yunhai gazed at the churning dark clouds in the distance and vaguely saw Xiaoqian's figure standing on the clouds, a blood-stained dagger in her hand…
