Keyboard Warrior's Otherworldly Adventure

The black mist, like a giant hand, gripped Li Jin's throat, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. The fear of suffocation far outweighed the excitement of the unknown, and he regretted his earlier recklessness. Sophie and Xiao Mei were also unable to move, their eyes wide with terror. Xiao Bai whimpered and cowered at Xiao Mei's feet, its fur standing on end.

The black vortex spun faster and faster, and the figure at its center became clearer and clearer. It was a tall figure dressed in a black robe, whose face was obscured, except for a pair of scarlet eyes that shone like two burning flames, flashing with a chilling light in the darkness.

"Hehehe..." A piercing laugh echoed from the center of the vortex, like fingernails scraping across a blackboard, sending chills down one's spine. "So many years... finally, someone has broken the seal..."

Li Jin swallowed hard, trying to remain calm. "What...are you?"

The figure slowly emerged from the vortex, each step feeling as if it were treading on Li Jin's heart. "I am... a god sealed here by you foolish mortals!"

"God?" Li Jin scoffed. "You? You look like a bug that crawled out of a sewer!"

The figure seemed enraged by Li Jin's words, a fierce glint flashing in its crimson eyes. "How dare you! Disrespect the gods!"

"Screw you!" Li Jin cursed. "If you're a god, then I'm the Jade Emperor!"

"You're asking for death!" the figure roared, raising a hand. A bolt of black lightning shot out from his hand, striking Li Jin directly.

At the critical moment, a golden light flashed and blocked Li Jin's path. The golden light dissipated, revealing Old Wang's figure.

"Old Wang!" Li Jin exclaimed in surprise.

Old Wang stroked his beard, his face calm. "Young man, don't be impulsive. I have some experience dealing with this kind of thing."

"Old man, you've come at the right time! Quickly take care of this charlatan!" Li Jin said excitedly.

Old Wang glanced at Li Jin and said, "Young man, don't rely too much on others. You have to solve your own problems."

"What do you mean?" Li Jin was taken aback. "Weren't you here to rescue us?"

Old Wang shook his head. "I'm just here to give you some pointers. This black aura is the resentment left behind by an ancient evil god, and only those with the power of light can purify it."

"The power of light? Where would I get the power of light?!" Li Jin cried out in despair.

Old Wang pointed to the transmigration system on Li Jin's chest, "Have you forgotten the treasure you have?"

Li Jin then remembered that he had a system. He quickly opened the system panel, only to find the system interface in a state of chaos, flashing red warning messages.

"System failure! System failure! High-energy interference detected; system functionality is limited!"

"Damn it! They messed up at the crucial moment!" Li Jin couldn't help but curse.

"Calm down, young man," Old Wang said. "Although the system is limited, its basic energy conversion function should still work. Try converting the system's energy into the power of light."

Following Lao Wang's instructions, Li Jin tried operating the system. However, the system interface remained chaotic and unusable.

"It's no use, Lao Wang! This broken system is completely unresponsive!" Li Jin was sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Don't panic, let me take a look." Old Wang stepped forward and carefully examined Li Jin's system panel.

"Tsk tsk, this system is really... rudimentary." Old Wang shook his head. "But it's still usable, albeit barely."

Old Wang stretched out his withered finger and gently tapped Li Jin's system panel.

The miracle happened!

The previously chaotic system interface instantly returned to normal, and the flashing red warning messages disappeared.

"Alright." Old Wang clapped his hands. "Now you can try to convert the power of light."

Li Jin took a deep breath and, following Lao Wang's instructions, began operating the system.

A warm energy surged from the system, flowing throughout Li Jin's body. He felt his body was filled with power, as if he could overcome anything.

He slowly raised his hand, and a dazzling white light condensed in his palm, illuminating the entire dim temple.

The dark figure seemed to sense a threat and let out a sharp cry.

"Light... damn light..."

The shadowy figure's body began to contort, as if it were about to be swallowed by the white light.

A cold smile appeared on Li Jin's lips.

"Now, it's my turn!"

He hurled the white light in his hand fiercely at the dark figure...

However, just as the white light was about to strike the dark figure, the stone box on the altar suddenly trembled violently, and an even denser stream of black energy surged out of the box, instantly engulfing the white light...
