A dazzling beam of light, like a divine sword of judgment, cleaved the darkness shrouding the temple ruins. The shadowy figure struck by the beam let out a piercing howl, a sound unlike that of a human or any known beast, more like a mournful cry from the depths of hell, chilling to the bone. The shadowy figure writhed violently within the beam, as if enduring unspeakable agony. It struggled and howled, yet could not escape the binding force of this divine power. Finally, the shadowy figure's body began to disintegrate, turning into wisps of black smoke, vanishing without a trace like ashes scattered by the wind.

"Phew...it's finally over." Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and the ball of light in his hand dissipated. Maintaining a high-intensity energy output for a long time left him feeling weak, and his legs trembled slightly.

"Li Jin, are you alright?" Sophie asked with concern, quickly walking to his side and supporting his swaying body.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little exhausted." Li Jin forced a smile, feeling a warm current surge in his heart as he felt Sophie's soft touch.

"That really scared me to death, I thought..." Sophie didn't finish her sentence, but just held Li Jin's hand tightly.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Li Jin grasped Su Fei's hand in return, giving her a reassuring look.

Xiao Mei and Lao Wang also came over, their faces showing relief at surviving the ordeal.

"Li Jin, what was that move you just made? It was amazing!" Xiao Mei asked with admiration, her eyes sparkling. The little white beast Xiao Bai behind her jumped onto Li Jin's shoulder and nuzzled his cheek affectionately, as if celebrating for him.

"Just a little trick." Li Jin smiled mysteriously, offering no further explanation. It's best to keep the system a secret as few people as possible.

Old Wang stroked his beard, a profound glint in his eyes: "This power... doesn't seem to originate from this world..."

Li Jin's heart skipped a beat. Old Wang was indeed knowledgeable and experienced; he had seen through the deception at a glance. He quickly chuckled and said, "Old Wang, what are you talking about? I'm just an ordinary person; I don't have any special powers."

Old Wang gave Li Jin a deep look, but didn't press further. He simply said meaningfully, "Young man, it's better to keep some secrets to yourself."

Li Jin smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.

At that moment, another earth-shaking tremor came, even more violent than when the Titans had appeared.

"What's going on? What kind of monster has come again?" Xiaomei exclaimed, her face turning pale.

"No, this time is different." Old Wang's expression was grave. "This feeling... is like... the world is collapsing!"

Everyone looked up and saw the sky above the temple ruins begin to distort, revealing huge cracks, like a shattered mirror. Within the cracks, a chaotic scene could be vaguely seen, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Holy crap! No way? This is serious?!" Li Jin couldn't help but swear. He just wanted to come to this other world for an adventure, he never imagined he'd witness the end of the world!

"Everyone be careful!" Sophie warned. "This could be Linna's last resort!"

Just then, a huge figure fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Lin Na?!" Li Jin's eyes widened in surprise.

Lin Na lay on the ground, covered in blood and barely breathing. Her once-gorgeous robes were tattered, revealing large expanses of her fair skin. She struggled to lift her head and looked at Li Jin, her eyes filled with resentment and bitterness.

"Li Jin...you...you ruined everything for me...I...I want you...to be buried with me..." Lin Na shouted hoarsely with her last bit of strength.

"Lin Na, you've gone mad!" Li Jin looked at her coldly. "This is all your own fault!"

"Hahaha... You brought this on yourself? This world... should have been mine... You... all deserve to die..." Linna laughed maniacally, her laughter filled with despair and madness.

Suddenly, Linna's body began to swell, emitting a blinding red light, and a terrifying energy surge erupted from her body.

"Oh no! She's going to self-destruct!" Old Wang exclaimed. "Retreat quickly!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all retreated.

"Trying to run? Too late!" A mad glint flashed in Linna's eyes. "You'll all... be buried with me!"

The red light grew brighter and brighter, like a supernova about to explode.

Just at this critical moment, a beam of white light descended from the sky, enveloping Lin Na.

In the white light, a figure slowly emerged. It was a woman dressed in a white robe, holding a scepter, and radiating a holy glow.

"Goddess?!" Old Wang exclaimed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Humble mortal, your sins will be judged by me." The goddess's voice rang out like heavenly music, yet it carried an undeniable majesty.

Linna's expansion stopped, and the red light gradually dissipated, replaced by a holy white light.

"No...no..." Lina cried out in terror, her voice filled with fear and despair.

The goddess slowly raised her scepter and pointed it at Linna.

"Purify!"

A dazzling white light shot out from the scepter, completely engulfing Linna…

This sudden turn of events left Li Jin and the others dumbfounded. Before they could react, the goddess turned her gaze to them again, her eyes filled with scrutiny…
