Chapter 2

Yaoxing's tone was very calm, but the words he spoke were incredibly shocking.

Destroy this world? Are you crazy? Its previous host must have been a lunatic.

"Get lost, you lunatic," Lan Ling said angrily.

He had always been clear about his likes and dislikes, kind and just. He had planned to kill that rich second-generation, because he deserved it. Now, someone was actually telling him that his mission in this world was to destroy it. It would be strange if Lan Ling didn't want to punch him in the face.

Yaoxing did not argue, remaining silently quiet.

After a moment, Lan Ling asked, "Can you help me return to Earth? My sister really needs me."

Yaoxing replied, "I don't know."

Lan Ling said, "What do you mean you don't know? You either can or you can't."

Yaoxing said, "I have only one instinct, which is to devour all energy. I can make you very, very powerful."

"You can make me powerful? How can you make me powerful?" Lan Ling asked.

Yaoxing said, "As long as you kill someone, I can devour their energy and turn it into your power. The more you kill, the more I devour, and the more powerful you become."

Lan Ling shivered suddenly. Although Yaoxing's tone was calm, he could sense the extreme evil in his words.

What devours energy directly? A black hole, which devours everything.

In the novels he had read, such as "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," Ren Woxing had an extremely evil technique called the Absorbing Star Technique, which directly devoured others' internal energy.

But this Yaoxing in front of him wanted to kill the other person and then devour their energy, which was a hundred times more evil than the Absorbing Star Technique.

"I don't need it. I just want to be by my sister's side," Lan Ling said. "You are so evil, I won't be your host anymore. Get away from me."

"You will need it soon," Yaoxing said. "My energy is already very weak, so I need to go into hibernation. Goodbye."

Then, the light faded, and the entire dream plunged into darkness.

...

Soon, Lan Ling woke up and began to recall the strange dream. For a moment, he couldn't tell if it was real or a dream, and he couldn't help but shout in his heart, "Yaoxing, Yaoxing, come out quickly."

However, there was no response. Was it just a dream?

After waking up, Lan Ling couldn't fall asleep again, and his mind gradually calmed down.

If I disappear, what will happen to my sister on Earth? Her face has been disfigured, and she is already afraid to interact with anyone. I am her only family. Without me, how will she survive?

Thinking of this, Lan Ling's heart ached as if it were being torn apart.

No, I can't be depressed. I need to pull myself together.

I have to go back. I will do everything in my power to return. I have already made a vow to the meteor shower to take care of and protect you for life.

Even though I have been transported to another world, I will still fulfill my promise. Even if I don't know how to return, I will find a way back and take care of you for life.

Lan Ling knelt on the ground, facing the moon, and said word by word, "Sister, I swear by the twin moons that no matter what, I will return to your side and take care of you for life. If I break this vow, may I be destroyed by heaven and earth."

After making the vow, Lan Ling stood up and decided to leave the deep mountains and head to the human society of this world to find the reason for his transportation and the way back to his sister's side.

At the same time, at the top of the Divine Dragon Temple of the Yan Empire.

The dome of the temple was like a sky, with countless gems embedded in it, like real stars.

Suddenly, a star shone with golden light and fell from the dome, transforming into a strange flame.

The high priest, who was meditating, opened his eyes and said in shock, "Not good, the evil star has appeared, and a great calamity is coming."

Then, he rushed out of the meditation room and shouted hoarsely, "Eighteen Holy Envoys, take the temple army and immediately search for any suspicious person in the southeastern part of the Central Plains. This person does not belong to this world. Once discovered, kill them immediately."

"Yes!" Immediately, more than a dozen shadows rushed out of the temple.

The high priest looked at the masses outside and trembled, "The evil star has descended, and the end of the world is coming. I hope this prophecy is not true!"

...

Lan Ling walked for several days and nights in the vast mountains but never left them. When he was hungry, he ate wild fruits that seemed safe, and when he was thirsty, he drank mountain spring water.

During these days, he discovered something strange: his body had undergone significant changes.

Although his original body was not weak, it was also not particularly strong. However, after being transported to this world, he felt a very mysterious and powerful force deep within him.

Whenever he felt exhausted after walking for dozens of miles, a surge of energy would flow from his heart to his limbs, instantly eliminating all fatigue and filling him with strength. Moreover, he wouldn't feel very weak even if he didn't eat for a long time.

This energy was very mysterious. Whenever he tried to sense it or find it, he found no trace of it.

Now, Lan Ling was certain that it was not a dream but real. He had a highly evil evil star inside him.

Lan Ling shivered and called out to it again, but it never responded.

However, even with the evil star's energy in his body, he was almost exhausted. No matter how far he walked, there was still an endless forest and mountains in front of him. Lan Ling was almost driven mad, feeling as if he were in a prehistoric era, with only himself in the entire world.

Ten days, half a month, twenty days...

Lan Ling really doubted that he had been transported to a world without people, as he saw no houses or any signs of human existence.

He kept walking, walking, and walking...

Lan Ling had become a wild man, with long hair and beard, and his clothes were torn into rags.

One day, after emerging from a dense forest, Lan Ling suddenly saw a wide road running east to west not far from the mountain.

Lan Ling was overjoyed. He had finally left the mountains. And the presence of a road meant there were people and a human society.

Lan Ling, who was originally extremely tired, suddenly felt full of boundless energy and rushed toward the road.

...

About two hours later, Lan Ling finally came down from the mountain and walked onto the road. There were carriage tracks on the road, so he followed it eastward.

As he walked, he kept his ears open, and if anyone passed by, he would immediately call for help.

After walking for about half an hour, he suddenly heard a loud sound of hooves behind him.

He quickly turned around and saw a group of people on horseback rapidly approaching from a few hundred meters away.

There were over a hundred fully armed knights guarding a carriage, dust flying as they charged forward. These people, dressed in fine clothes and riding magnificent horses, clearly belonged to the nobility.

Lan Ling quickly waved his hands and shouted loudly.

"Sir, there is a savage ahead blocking the road and shouting," a knight said respectfully to the carriage.

Lan Ling had been in the mountains for over two months, his clothes torn, his face covered in beard, and his hair disheveled, making him look like a wild man.

"Charge through and crush him," a young man inside the carriage said coldly. "All savages should die."

Then, the group charged directly at Lan Ling, intending to crush him to death, moving at an extremely fast speed.

Lan Ling noticed that the horses in this world were much larger and more impressive than those on Earth, and they were also faster. In a moment, they were right in front of him.

These warhorses, all clad in armor, were over two meters tall. If he were hit, he would either die or be severely injured. How could these people be so cruel, wanting to crush a person to death just for blocking the road?

Lan Ling quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the charge of the warhorses.

"How dare you dodge, beat him to death," the young noble in the carriage said cruelly.

"Yes," a warrior immediately drew his whip and lashed out at Lan Ling.

The whip came whistling like lightning, and Lan Ling, despite his best efforts, could not avoid it.

"Smack..." His body was suddenly struck by the whip, as if hit by a thousand pounds of force. He flew out like a straw, spewing blood, and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Then, the group of nobles, dressed in fine clothes and riding magnificent horses, charged past. The young noble in the carriage laughed loudly.

If it were the Lan Ling from before the transportation, he would have been crushed to death by the whip, with his bones shattered and his internal organs turned to mush.

But the current Lan Ling had only two broken bones and damaged internal organs. Although he was on the brink of death, he did not die. The energy deep in his heart continued to flow, protecting his heart and life.

Time passed, and Lan Ling remained unconscious on the road.

Although the mysterious energy continued to protect him, it was not endless. It grew weaker, and Lan Ling's breathing and heartbeat became increasingly weak, and death gradually approached.

Night soon fell, and fortunately, no carriages passed by the entire night, or he might have been trampled to death.

The next day, the sun rose, and Lan Ling still lay on the road, his fate uncertain. The blood from his nose and mouth had dried and turned black.

Another day passed, and the sky gradually darkened again.

...

It had been three days since Lan Ling fainted. The road was indeed very desolate, and no one had passed by in these three days.

Lan Ling's breathing and heartbeat were extremely weak, almost undetectable. If he did not receive treatment soon, he would surely die.

At this moment, the sound of hooves came from a distance, growing closer. Two warriors were guarding a carriage, galloping at full speed.

As they got closer, it became clear that the two warriors were women.

Both were wearing tight leather outfits, one in red and one in black. They had extremely fit and curvaceous figures, especially their long legs, which were filled with fiery beauty. Riding on horses, their waist and hip curves were breathtaking and impossible to ignore.

Most importantly, these two women looked exactly the same, with equally beautiful and deep features, resembling a mix of Eastern and Western heritage on Earth.

Such beautiful women, with devilish figures, were already incredibly alluring on their own. Now, seeing identical twins, it was truly a sight to drive men mad.
