High-Dimensional Cheat, Limited-Time Trial Version

Start with a small pine tree.

The warm, slightly damp, emerald-green needles trembled gently in Li Xian's palm, like a miniature, beating heart.

At that very moment—

Deep in my mind, that long-dormant "channel" suddenly erupted with a series of piercing electronic noises, like a radio with a faulty connection!

[Buzz... Detected... a carrier of life energy...]

[Coordinates...locked...attempting to establish...low-dimensional link...]

[Buzz...Warning...Connection unstable...Estimated duration...27 seconds...]

Fragments of information, in bursts, rained down on my consciousness like hailstones!

Li Xian's pupils suddenly contracted!

It's the brain! The Boltzmann brain!

Although the signal was weak, chaotic, and intermittent, he would never mistake that unique, inhuman "presence"!

Moreover... the brain is trying to establish a temporary connection with him through the pine tree, which is a "life energy carrier"!

The time limit is only twenty-seven seconds!

"Superman!" Li Xian shouted hoarsely, trying to suppress the noise in his head, "Analyze the opponent's energy structure! Quickly!"

"Scanning..." The indicator lights on Superman's body flashed frantically. "Anomaly detected—the vital signs of the ten men in black are perfectly synchronized! Heart rate, respiration, even brainwave frequency... the error is no more than 0.3%! This is not simple coordination, this is... a resonant coupling at the life level!"

"Weakness!" Li Xian felt the small pine tree in his hand getting hotter and hotter, and the countdown in his mind was ticking like a stopwatch: 22 seconds, 21 seconds...

"Found it!" Superman's voice was unusually urgent. "The source of the resonance is the man in black who first cut his wrist—he is both the initiator of the ritual and the energy center of the entire 'Resonance Network'! As long as we interfere with him, or sever his life connection with others..."

"Interference? How is it interfering?!" Veins bulged on Li Xian's forehead. He could feel the little pine tree frantically absorbing his energy! No, it wasn't just his energy, but also the vitality of the surrounding plants and even some kind of "life radiation" floating in the air!

The "vitality" of the entire area is converging towards the palm of your hand!

[Buzz... Connection strength... 37%... Downloading... Enemy energy structure map...]

The voice of the brain sounded again, and at the same time, a complex "energy flow diagram" that made people dizzy was projected directly onto Li Xian's retina!

That wasn't a pattern, but pure "information"—among the ten men in black, hundreds of scarlet "energy bloodlines" intertwined into a net, with a particularly bright spot in the very center, which was the one who had cut his wrist!

And the "frequency" of the entire network... is being refreshed frantically below the graph in the form of mathematical formulas!

"Superman!" Li Xian roared, "Use your electromagnetic transmitter, aim at that guy who cut his wrist! Adjust the frequency to... wait, let me calculate—"

He doesn't understand frequency calculation at all!

But the next second, a cold, hard number flashed into my mind: [4.71238898 MHz]

"4.71238898 MHz! Now! Launch!"

"Command received!" Superman didn't hesitate, and the launch port under his belly instantly lit up with a blinding blue light!

"Buzz—!!!"

A high-frequency electromagnetic pulse, invisible to the naked eye yet capable of distorting the air, precisely struck the man in black at the center of the formation!

"ah--!!!"

The man who had cut his wrists let out a scream that was not human! The crimson light on his body fluctuated violently, and the "blood lines" between him and the other nine people began to twist and break!

For the first time, chaos erupted within the entire "zombie formation"!

"Now!" Li Xian didn't hesitate any longer, spreading all five fingers of his right hand!

Shaoshang, Shangyang, Zhongchong, Guanchong, and Shaochong—the five sword energies no longer attacked separately, but instead merged into a spiraling force of five colors, rushing straight towards the gap in the formation!

At the same time, he lifted the small pine tree high with his left hand!

"Miss Xiao! I'll lend you my talent—think about it! Think about it with all your might!"

In the bushes, Xiao Lingshan was startled, then closed her eyes as if struck by a sudden inspiration.

She didn't know what Li Xian was doing, but she could sense that the little pine tree was making a kind of...calling.

Like a mother calling to her child.

Like the stars calling to the tides.

She poured all her spirit, all her understanding and affection for "life," into that direction without reservation.

A miracle happened.

Suddenly, the sapling burst forth with a dazzling emerald green light! The light was not dazzling, but it carried an indescribable vitality, like a spring forest bursting into bloom in an instant!

Wherever the light reached, the crimson blood aura on the man in black melted away like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun!

Meanwhile, the countdown in Li Xian's mind was jumping to—

[Connection Strength: 89%...Activating...Dimensional Interference Protocol...]

[WARNING: The enemy's energy structure is a low-dimensional life resonator. It is recommended to use... phase interference...]

【implement.】

There was no sound, no light or shadow.

But at that moment, all the men in black—including the one who had cut his wrist—froze simultaneously.

They remained in their knife-wielding stances, their eyes wide open, their faces displaying an extreme fear, as if they were witnessing a universal truth.

They "sense" it.

They sensed something... far beyond their comprehension, looking down at them from an indescribable height.

Just one glance.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang—!"

The ten men in black, like puppets with broken strings, fell to the ground one after another.

The crimson curtain of blades vanished into thin air.

Only the man who had cut his wrist remained standing, staring intently at Li Xian—no, at the small pine tree in Li Xian's hand whose light was fading. He made strange, hoarse noises, finally managing to squeeze out a distorted sentence in Central Plains dialect:

"No...it can't be...this is...divine punishment..."

Before he could finish speaking, Er Ya's steel needle silently pierced his throat.

The battle is over.

Li Xian's legs went weak, and he knelt on one knee, panting heavily. The light from the small pine tree in his hand completely went out, returning to its ordinary emerald green appearance, except that the needles seemed even brighter.

The "channels" in my mind have returned to silence.

Twenty-seven seconds.

Just right.

"Young Master Li!" Xiao Lingshan was the first to rush over, supporting his swaying body. "You...how are you?"

Li Xian looked up at the girl's worried face so close to his own, and forced a weak smile: "No...it's nothing. I'm just a little...verted."

Elder Xiao and Han Yunyang also rushed over, and their gazes toward Li Xian had completely changed—if before it was out of fear and a desire to use him, now it was mixed with shock, awe, and a trace of...fear.

What they just witnessed was beyond their comprehension of "martial arts" or even "sorcery".

"Young Master Li..." Elder Xiao's voice was dry, "What was that just now..."

"Technology," Li Xian casually made up, leaning on Xiao Lingshan's arm to stand up. "Uh, or rather... high-level magic. You wouldn't understand even if I explained."

He walked to the body of the man who had cut his wrists and knelt down to examine it. The body itself was unremarkable, except that the skin around the wounds on his wrists had an unnatural grayish-brown color, as if life had been drained away.

"Save them alive!" Elder Xiao shouted hastily, snapping out of his daze. "Ask them who they are!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. The five surviving men in black were all seriously injured, and two of them had already died when Li Xian examined them. As for the remaining three, no matter how Elder Xiao and Han Yunyang interrogated them, they remained tight-lipped, their eyes filled with resentment.

It wasn't until Li walked over and placed his hand on the Tanzhong acupoint of one of the people that the problem was resolved.

Northern Darkness Divine Art, begin absorbing.

"Ah—!!!" The man in black let out a pig-like scream, his whole body convulsing.

"What did he say?" Li asked Superman.

He said... "You are a true demon! Spare me! We are all descendants of the Holy Church, we share the same origin!"

Li Xian raised an eyebrow and released his grip—this person's internal energy was weak, absorbing it wouldn't be of much use. "Ask them where they came from and what they're doing here."

Under the dual threat of the curved blade and the energy-absorbing technique, the man in black broke down, speaking haltingly in a mix of local dialect and broken Central Plains speech:

They came from an island nation called "Tu," and were a group of nearly two hundred swordsmen on three ships. Their leader was a woman known as "Miss Spring Dream," who always wore a black veil. Their mission was to find and avenge the "traitors of the former Holy Church."

Encountering a storm at sea, the crew managed to drift to the coast of Tonghai Prefecture. Originally intending to rest and gather information there, they clashed with local forces multiple times due to language barriers and their brutality.

"Miss Chunmeng..." Li Xian stroked his chin, his expression strange, "This name... does she have trouble sleeping at night?"

Elder Xiao did not smile. His expression was solemn as he murmured, "Overseas... the remnants of the Holy Sect... revenge... could the rumors be true? When the Demonic Sect of the previous dynasty was destroyed, did a branch really flee overseas?"

"Father, what do you know?" Xiao Lingshan asked.

"These are just unofficial tales of the martial world," Elder Xiao shook his head. "It's said that a hundred years ago, when the Demonic Sect was at its peak, it split internally, and some members fled overseas, taking many of the sect's secret texts and treasures with them. If this 'Miss Spring Dream' is truly a descendant of that branch..."

He looked at Li Xian, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Young Master Li, the method you just used... bears a striking resemblance to certain 'sacred arts' recorded in the Demonic Sect's records. Could it be...?"

"I am not a member of the Demonic Cult," Li interrupted him, his tone resolute. "My abilities come from the Boltzmann Brain—an existence you cannot comprehend. It has absolutely nothing to do with any Demonic Cult or Holy Cult."

As soon as he finished speaking, Batman suddenly flew over, his electronic voice steady yet clear:

"Correction: Boltzmann's brain mentioned that in the early stages of his arrival in this world, in order to understand the energy rules of this world, he did scan and analyze data from multiple local cultivation systems. The demonic cult scriptures were one of the samples."

The air became quiet.

Elder Xiao opened his mouth, but after a long pause, he managed to squeeze out, "So... Young Hero Li, your 'lineage' actually... borrowed from the Demonic Sect's techniques?"

Li Xian: "...You can understand it that way."

He suddenly felt very tired.

It's not physical exhaustion, it's mental exhaustion.

All the fighting and killing, all the explanations and justifications, and then there's the issue of dealing with overseas revenge forces...

He glanced at Xiao Lingshan. The girl was looking down, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, lost in thought.

He glanced again at the black-clad corpses lying haphazardly on the ground.

In the distance, the sun had fully risen, and birdsong filled the forest.

a new day.

But Li Xian suddenly had a premonition—

The bigger trouble is probably just beginning.
