Lin Yi successfully enhanced equipment to +4, finding the +5 enhancement difficult and eventually breaking the item. Despite this, his rapid progress impressed Sun Dachuan and others. Lin Yi then traveled to the Antarctic ice cave to check on Xiyue and Ao Shu's training, noting their significant advancements thanks to the Inner Court and the accelerated training environment. Upon arrival, he was informed of their well-being and progress.

The spatial anomaly failed to rouse Lin Yi. He had previously detected the visitor's aura, and recognizing its unique skill mechanism, he had committed it to memory.

From Bagu Country – the Sea Mirage War God, Charles. A formidable warrior wielding skills tied to the space attribute.

As the fabric of space tore open, Charles materialized beside Lin Yi, two bloodied figures suspended in his grasp. They were Chu Tianyou and Zhao Mingsheng!

Could it be! The very same enthusiastic senior brothers they had encountered during the Ghost Train quest!

Bagu War God, in league with the two senior brothers who had been frequenting the Bagu quest zone for some time? Had the Blaze Frontline quest undergone some drastic alteration?!

"Greetings, Dragon God War God, Dragon God War God, you..." Upon spotting Lin Yi, Charles moved with haste, employing the Power of Space to stabilize the two injured individuals he carried before quickly offering a salute to Lin Yi.

However, just as his hand began to move in a fist-clasp salute and before he could fully bow, a gentle force halted his movement.

"I understand your intentions, and there's no need for such formality." Unbeknownst to Charles, Lin Yi had already appeared by his side. Simultaneously, he invoked both the Supreme Laws of immortality and creation, mending the ravaged bodies of Chu Tianyou and Zhao Mingsheng.

Under the influence of these potent healing abilities, the gruesome wounds on the two began to visibly mend at an astonishing rate. Their shallow breaths gradually stabilized, and one by one, they weakly fluttered their eyes open.

"Lin, Junior Brother Lin Yi?" Chu Tianyou and Zhao Mingsheng's eyes widened in utter disbelief. It was only moments before they had closed their eyes to the sight of an endless inferno. How could they now find themselves in the frigid expanse of a polar wasteland, only to be greeted by the familiar face of the junior brother they had crossed paths with on two prior occasions?

Lin Yi offered a slight nod. "It is I, senior brothers. What transpired? Did something uncontrollable occur with the Blaze Frontline quest, or..."

The two senior brothers nodded in confirmation. "Indeed, Junior Brother Lin Yi, the realm where the quest unfolds has witnessed an unprecedented event."

"Since your completion of the Ghost Train quest, significant changes have swept through Antebellum Canyon in that world."

"The darkness was dispelled, and the sunlight began to scorch the canyon, raising its temperature to unbearable levels for human survival. Due to the extreme environmental shift, the powers that be in that world ceased their focus on Antebellum Canyon until a remnant, claiming divinity, emerged."

A remnant of a god?! According to Chu Tianyou, this divine remnant was already teetering on the brink of oblivion. Yet, under the relentless assault of the sun, it absorbed vast amounts of solar essence, gradually regenerating its soul.

This self-proclaimed god was none other than Moloch, a formidable minotaur-like being. Wherever he treads, he leaves behind an eternal trail of scorching flames.

"Junior Brother Lin Yi, it appears this entity wields a peculiar power. Even the most potent cultivators in that world, wielding the Power of the Primordial, were unable to overcome it. We were forced to abandon Antebellum Canyon, unable to endure the conditions, and sought refuge in the central city of that world for training. However, upon the creature's appearance..."

Lin Yi had already foreseen what the two brothers were about to articulate. Who could have guessed that piercing the millennia-old darkness enveloping Antebellum Canyon would inadvertently unleash an ancient evil god?

He remained uncertain whether the potential annihilation of Blue Star's parallel world would cascade and impact Blue Star itself. However, Lin Yi was acutely aware that the events unfolding thus far were inextricably linked to his actions.

If Ghostly Blue were still alive, the parallel Blue Star would, at the very least, not be plagued by such dire challenges. This predicament, if left unaddressed by him, truly could not be overlooked.

"I comprehend, senior brothers. I have administered basic treatment for your injuries, though full recovery will require some time." As he spoke, a spaceship brimming with cybernetic technology materialized before them.

"This is one of Shenxiao's auxiliary vessels, the Lingyue. It will transport you to Shenxiao with utmost speed; leave the rest to me." Lin Yi's extraordinary prowess was widely acknowledged, even within inter-planar circles.

Upon hearing that Lin Yi was willing to intervene, the two senior brothers were filled with immense relief. Their concerns were deeply intertwined with the fate of Blue Star's parallel dimension.

Their survival and ability to return were entirely thanks to Charles, who happened upon them during a quest, recognized their Shenxiao emblems, and rescued them, utilizing his space attribute skills to rapidly transport them to Shenxiao.

Old Cat, upon witnessing the grievous state of the two disciples, immediately conveyed their location to Lin Yi. "Junior Brother Lin Yi, we shall entrust everything to your care then."

After dispatching the two senior brothers aboard the Lingyue, Lin Yi swiftly proceeded into the Antarctic ice cave. He needed to temporarily interrupt Xiyue's cultivation.

Regardless of everything, Xiyue originated from another plane; when her homeland faced danger, remaining uninformed and inactive would undoubtedly lead to deep regret.

Even in that world, the advanced mechanical-class professionals residing within Antebellum Canyon had long been forgotten by Xia for millennia.

Lin Yi, empowered by the Primordial Force, simply willed it, pulling Xiyue from her cultivation state back into reality.

Detecting the familiar aura's presence, Xiyue's eyes snapped open, and she joyfully hurried towards the person she held dear.

"Lin Yi, let me tell you, I've already mastered two..."

Before Xiyue could finish speaking, Lin Yi drew her into his arms.

"Your dimension is in dire straits; it seems it won't last much longer. Do you wish to return and see? Below Antebellum Canyon, an evil god has emerged, Vowing to annihilate the world."

Upon hearing this, Xiyue's features hardened, her body trembled, and her eyes reflected sheer disbelief.

Even she was surprised to find she still harbored affections for her original plane.

"Shall we depart? If so, we have an escort ready."

There was no point in dwelling on sentimentality.

Lin Yi possessed the ability to read thoughts.

Without hesitation, Xiyue nodded her assent.

"Mr. Charles, would you be so kind as to lead the way? Ever since my previous quest was unexpectedly terminated, my invitation for that dimension's quests has been invalidated."

The chance to fight alongside Lin Yi was a dream coveted by countless professionals.

Charles, without a second thought, readily agreed.

Thanks to Lin Yi's mastery over space-attribute skills, the group's journey to Bagu was remarkably swift.

At present, Blue Star had abandoned all international vigilance; consequently, as Lin Yi and his companions entered Bagu's domain, they faced no resistance and proceeded without hindrance.

Upon reaching the heart of the Caribbean Sea, in proximity to the entrance of the Descent Abyss, Charles produced his quest invitation.

The spectacle of the sky and sea inverting themselves repeated, drawing the trio into a parallel existence.

As they successfully materialized within the alternate universe, the refreshing ocean breeze immediately dissipated.

An intensely searing sensation rapidly enveloped Lin Yi's entire being.

In stark contrast to the serene Bagu City of Blue Star, this parallel world was consumed by omnipresent infernos.

The once-thriving metropolis now seemed utterly drained of life, devoid of any sign of inhabitants, as if they had never existed.
