In the pure white expanse, the Hall of Myriad Realms.
Before the Book of Origin.
Shan stood before the Book of Origin, hands clasped behind his back, waiting in silence.
Before long, Ye Ling arrived and bowed to Shan, "Greetings, Master Shan. Forgive me for keeping you waiting."
Shan turned to look at the travel-worn Ye Ling and asked, "Have everything been arranged?"
Ye Ling nodded, "There were quite a few matters, and I was delayed slightly, but thankfully, they are all resolved."
"Hm... Hm?"
Shan nodded, then as if noticing something, looked at Ye Ling in surprise, "You've absorbed your inner demon again?"
Ye Ling gave a wry smile, "My inner demon insisted on accompanying me when it learned I was going to the real world. I truly couldn't refuse, so I agreed to let it reside in my consciousness space."
"But Master, rest assured, I have signed a contract with my inner demon. It cannot control or influence my body. The price for letting it reside in my consciousness space is that it lends me its power."
After hearing Ye Ling's words, Shan carefully inspected Ye Ling's consciousness space. Once he confirmed that the inner demon had not tampered with anything, he said, "That is for the best. With your inner demon's assistance, your strength is assured, and I can be more at ease."
With that, Shan conjured another ball of creation power in his palm and sent it into Ye Ling's body. The ball of creation power then vanished.
"Master, what is this?"
Ye Ling, seeing Shan give him a ball of creation power that he couldn't sense, couldn't help but show a hint of confusion in his eyes as he looked at Shan.
Shan said, "Although the profound rune of evil can forcibly return you to the void, the real world is fraught with danger, and there are many secrets even I am unaware of. There may be entities there that can instantly kill you before you can even activate the profound rune."
"What I've given you is my life essence. While this power cannot increase your strength, it can save your life at a critical moment."
"Remember, no matter what happens, as long as my life essence appears, you must immediately activate the profound rune of evil and return to the void. Do you understand?"
Hearing Shan's words, a warm current flowed through Ye Ling's heart. He earnestly promised Shan, "Your disciple understands."
"Well, I won't waste any more words. Come with me."
Shan then turned and placed his hand on the barrier outside the Book of Origin. The semi-transparent Book of Origin immediately transformed into a security door.
Seeing the Book of Origin, which pulsed with magical power, suddenly become an ordinary security door, Ye Ling couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He had expected the process of traveling to the real world to be quite complex, but he hadn't anticipated it would be so simple and unpretentious.
"Let's go."
Shan said no more, pushed the door open, and Ye Ling followed closely behind.
However, unlike Shan who walked directly into the room, the moment Ye Ling crossed the threshold of the security door, he transformed into a mass of data and was then transferred into a USB drive that Shan had prepared.
The short-haired youth, who was frantically working in the room, and the still leisurely Evil, upon seeing Shan return, asked in unison, "Did Ye Ling agree?"
"Yes."
Shan nodded, holding the USB drive containing Ye Ling, he walked up to the short-haired youth and asked, "What should we do next?"
The short-haired youth quickly replied, "First, download Ye Ling into my computer, then I will upload him to the website. However..."
"However what?" Shan asked.
The short-haired youth pursed his lips, "However, my computer skills are not very good, and the website has a firewall. I can't upload Ye Ling. He might have to find a way to bypass it himself."
Shan's eyes narrowed slightly, "You didn't tell me this before. Attacking a firewall will cause quite a stir."
Evil chuckled, "You can rest assured about that. I've already found a professional."
Saying that, Evil also produced a USB drive and threw it to Shan, "Xing Yu is in there. Isn't that kid a computer genius? Let him help Ye Ling bypass the firewall."
Shan looked at the second USB drive in his hand, a vein on his forehead pulsed, and he glared at Evil, "You scoundrel, are you planning to corrupt all my disciples?"
Evil asked with a smile, "Don't you trust your disciples? When that kid was still a mortal, he deciphered the Law of Light, which even Great Emperors found difficult, using only his computer skills. If that kid wasn't uninterested in cultivation, his achievements wouldn't be below ours. With Xing Yu's help, isn't Ye Ling even safer?"
"You..."
Shan found himself unable to refute Evil's words and could only sigh slightly, then download the data of both Ye Ling and Xing Yu into the short-haired youth's computer.
Soon, the images of Ye Ling and Xing Yu appeared on the computer screen.
"Is this the real world?"
Ye Ling found himself transformed into a piece of code and could only look at the situation in the room through the computer's camera. He exclaimed in surprise, then immediately tried to activate his powers.
After confirming that he could use various abilities, Ye Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Xing Yu, upon entering the computer, he seemed to have discovered a treasure, his eyes shining, "Wow! I've become an intelligent AI! Master Evil was right, developing games in this place is sure to create the next epoch-making product!"
"Hahaha! I'm rich!"
Shan looked at the different reactions of Ye Ling and Xing Yu on the screen and couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Then, he spoke through the computer's microphone, "Ye Ling, Xing Yu, can you hear me?"
"We can hear you!" Ye Ling and Xing Yu replied in unison.
Shan: "Very good. Remember, your mission this time is of great importance, so you two must cooperate sincerely and complete the mission together. Especially you, Xing Yu... you must not hold back your junior brother, understand?"
Hearing Shan's admonishment, Xing Yu dared not say anything and quickly replied, "Your disciple understands. I will do my best to assist my junior brother!"
Ye Ling also replied with a smile, "With senior brother here, I guarantee the mission will be completed."
Seeing that Ye Ling and Xing Yu were ready, Shan nodded slightly and looked at the short-haired youth beside him, "Begin."
"Okay."
The short-haired youth took a deep breath, and his entire demeanor underwent a massive change, his eyes becoming incredibly resolute.
His ten fingers flew across the keyboard, and the data of Ye Ling and Xing Yu began to be uploaded from the local computer into the network space.
The atmosphere in the room became tense.
Shan held his breath, and even Evil leaned forward, staring intently at the computer screen.
Uploading from local to network... this was the most crucial step. If it failed, all their plans and calculations would be in vain!
And if it succeeded, Ye Ling and Xing Yu would be like dragons entering the sea, with an even grander stage awaiting their performance!
Success or failure, it all depended on this moment!
