Even through the New Year, I have maintained a high-quality and high-volume update schedule of over five thousand characters daily. Surely my integrity should be evident to all?

Doesn't that warrant casting a monthly ticket? For the past couple of days, it's only been a few votes here and there; it's quite disheartening.

…… Name: Luo Tianyi Body Strength: EX Mental Strength: EX Overall Strength: ??? Seal of Constraint: Primordial Truth Mark of Guardianship: Mirror of Truth (Special) Heart of the World: Heart of Truth (Number Forty-Seven, Form Embodied in Void Yet True, Heart Transformed) …… How many times has Lin Luo seen a host whose strength registers as a question mark?

He couldn't quite recall, but he knew that Luo Tianyi's question mark was on an entirely different level from everyone else’s. With his current power, even a powerhouse in the first realm of the Heavenly Tier could have their specific strength measured using the Book of Contracts—the Dragon God, for instance.

Yet, there were only two beings whose strength he could never ascertain: Yaoyao and the Heavenly Dao! In other words, even if Luo Tianyi fell short of those two, she probably wasn't far behind.

Of course, although the data reflected Luo Tianyi's might, what was truly powerful wasn't Luo Tianyi herself, but the Heart of Truth. After all, based on Lin Luo’s understanding, no matter how special Luo Tianyi was, she shouldn't possess combat capability.

It was just that Lin Luo lacked the memories of his past life, making it impossible for him to view the person before him as an older sister; since the entity resided within Luo Tianyi’s body, he could only perceive her as Luo Tianyi. From a distance, he projected the Mirror of Truth into a formation completely under his control, forcing himself into a completely passive stance by its presence.

Then there was the silent arrival outside the world to stand before him, and those terrifying data readings… Although Lin Luo had long suspected Luo Tianyi’s strength, only at this moment did he grasp that this strength was no longer merely strength—it was terrifying, extreme, horrifying, chilling to the bone! When Luo Tianyi's eyes, originally clear green, shifted to the color of pooling blood as she fixed her gaze upon him, Lin Luo instantly felt his body tremble.

It was the sensation of a person walking through a primeval jungle, being stared down simultaneously by countless ancient beasts. Instinctively, he summoned the Sword of Destruction.

Though he desperately did not wish to fight her, circumstances demanded it; if he refused to fight, the only path left was death! “You dare point such a dreadful weapon at your sister?

Do you know what you are doing, my foolish little brother?” Luo Tianyi tilted her head, standing still as if her neck might snap at any moment. Her crimson eyes stared at Lin Luo, revealing a trace of sorrow mixed with mockery, speaking in a low, gloomy tone.

Lin Luo understood clearly: the Luo Tianyi standing before him, though inhabiting her own body, was controlled by the soul of the Heart of the World. To see such a normally gentle and innocent girl twisted to this extent felt profoundly dissonant.

He genuinely didn't know how he would ever look at Luo Tianyi normally again. Of course, such thoughts were superfluous, as he couldn't guarantee he would even have a future.

“Stand down. We shouldn't be enemies,” Lin Luo sighed internally, attempting to sway her with words.

But what good were verbal arguments against a yandere? Luo Tianyi immediately burst into a hollow laugh, her face wearing a mask of terrible innocence.

“What are you talking about? How could I be enemies with my dearest little brother?

I love you so much. I love you enough to give you everything, wanting to be with you forever and ever.

So… let me consume you. Then we can be together for all eternity, and you won't have any more worries.

Even if the world ends, we can remain happy forever… Let me eat you, my dear brother!” As she spoke, Luo Tianyi flung her arms wide and lunged toward Lin Luo, her terrifying smile on her face making it impossible to look directly at her. “That state can never be happiness!” Lin Luo gritted his teeth, finally unleashing the Sword of Destruction against her… This woman was too terrifying, too terrifying!

If he still harbored the naive hope of a normal conversation, he would surely die! But what Lin Luo never anticipated was that the invincible Sword of Destruction was utterly useless against Luo Tianyi.

It halted mere inches from her body, as if blocked by an unseen force, unable to advance further. “What is this?” Looking at the Sword of Destruction so close, Luo Tianyi’s expression instantly turned grim.

Then, she extended a fair, delicate finger and gently tapped the tip of the blade. In an instant… the Sword of Destruction completely disintegrated, vanishing into nothingness.

“This…?” Seeing this, Lin Luo was utterly shocked, barely able to speak. As he was now, even though he hadn't truly reached the Heavenly Tier, by leveraging his control over the Nasuverse through reverse deduction, he possessed the complete strength of the Heavenly Tier.

Furthermore, the Sword of Destruction had merged with Nothingness into Creation, achieving the realm of truly destroying and creating everything. Even facing the Dragon God again, he was confident he could slay him with a single strike.

Yet… Luo Tianyi blocking his Sword of Destruction was one thing, but casually erasing it with a mere touch was too much… “Why are you so surprised?” Looking at Lin Luo’s incredulous expression, Luo Tianyi seemed momentarily dazed. “All your skills were taught by me.

Whether it’s destruction or creation, even Nothingness into Creation… all of it was imparted by me. Even your very existence was exchanged by me using my own being for yours.

I am both your sister and your master. I understand everything about you; no one knows you better than I do.

Did you really think this paltry little sword could deal with me? My foolish little brother.” Saying this, Luo Tianyi suddenly cupped her own cheeks with both hands, displaying an expression of rapturous intoxication.

“However, my brother looking like this is quite cute too. It only makes me want to consume you more.” Luo Tianyi’s expression instinctively reminded Lin Luo of Yuno Gasai, but compared to her, the Luo Tianyi before him was countless times more terrifying… both in her degree of obsession and in raw power.

But the most astonishing thing for Lin Luo was what she said… that all his abilities were taught by her? Did that mean his past self possessed the same capabilities as his current self?

Was that why he could grasp destruction and creation? This also brought to mind the time he encountered the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao had seemed to mention back then that he knew a certain person, and something about the Time Travel Corps… Indeed, there must be many secrets surrounding him that even he didn't know. Although Lin Luo knew this was not the time to dwell on such matters, the rising doubt within him spurred him toward exploration like an instinct, beyond his control.

It was fortunate that Luo Tianyi had no immediate intention of fighting Lin Luo, but merely wanted to devour him (which was perhaps more terrifying than killing him). She even preferred him to offer himself willingly.

Otherwise, in his current state against an opponent of this caliber, tens of thousands of lives wouldn't be enough. But if what she said was true—that she understood everything about him—then not just the Sword of Destruction, but perhaps even… No, no, that was too absurd!

Lin Luo shook his head vigorously in his mind, then used Nothingness into Creation to manifest more Swords of Destruction, suspending them behind him, aimed squarely at Luo Tianyi. These Swords of Destruction were different from before; supported by Nothingness into Creation, they could never be destroyed.

Even if shattered once, they could instantly regenerate, just like his life… immortal and indestructible! But!

“Sister has already told you, your abilities are useless against me. Why won’t you understand?” Luo Tianyi looked at him with an expression of profound sorrow, then thrust the Mirror of Truth forward.

A faint beam of light shot out, and instantly, all the Swords of Destruction vanished into smoke. Regeneration was impossible.

Especially when the light of the Mirror of Truth shone upon him, he couldn't even sense his own Nothingness into Creation! This… how was this possible?!

At this moment, even Lin Luo could no longer remain calm. Back when he fought the Heavenly Dao, being merely a Quasi-Heavenly Rank, the Heavenly Dao couldn't kill him; he could only be sealed.

This was precisely because his Nothingness into Creation could not be broken even by those in the second realm of the Heavenly Tier. However… What he was experiencing now wasn't just the annihilation of the Sword of Destruction; more critically, even his Nothingness into Creation had been completely sealed… This was different from the Heavenly Dao’s seal, which imprisoned him in a space of absolute stagnation, forcing him into an infinite cycle between life and death—that seal only affected him, not Nothingness into Creation.

But Luo Tianyi’s seal targeted Nothingness into Creation directly, reducing its one-hundred-percent activation rate to zero. In other words, if he were killed now, he would die permanently!

This kind of sealing was far more terrifying than the Heavenly Dao’s. And more importantly… he was at the Heavenly Tier now!

At this point, Lin Luo finally gained a rough understanding of Luo Tianyi’s strength. Judging solely by the sealing ability, she wasn't just comparable to the Heavenly Dao; she surpassed the Heavenly Dao he fought previously.

If the Heavenly Dao he fought against was at the fifth stage of the Heavenly Tier, then Luo Tianyi was at least at the sixth stage—a powerhouse of the Third Realm! Of course, this was merely based on the sealing aspect.

Since Luo Tianyi herself claimed complete knowledge of his abilities, knowing the enemy was half the battle. He was being countered, so he couldn't use this alone to deduce her full strength.

However… even if his abilities were tailored against him, Neither Nothingness into Creation nor the Rule of Destruction were abilities that just anyone could break by finding a weakness; one’s own inherent strength must be sufficient to contend with it. Therefore, Luo Tianyi being in the Third Realm of the Heavenly Tier was **almost certainly true!

Upon realizing this, Lin Luo's heart didn't freeze, nor did his courage shatter, but he felt utterly helpless. Facing such a powerful, almost unsolvable opponent, what could he use to fight?

But this did not mean he would surrender! He reached out and slashed the void, manifesting another ordinary Sword of Destruction.

Noticing the fighting spirit in his eyes, Luo Tianyi sighed mournfully. “Why won’t you understand?

No matter how hard you try, you cannot defeat me. In this world, I fear no one except that slut Qiqi.

Unless she is by your side, but… she is dead. Hahaha, she is dead.

Good riddance!” Suddenly, Luo Tianyi burst into loud, maniacal laughter. Crying one moment, laughing the next; sad one moment, happy the next—she truly was utterly corrupted.

Qiqi? Hearing that name, Lin Luo instinctively felt a pang in his heart.

Lin Luo didn't know why he felt this way, but he had no time to consider it now. He spoke calmly, “Even if what you say is true, I will not give up.

Because I have made a promise: I will never give up, no matter the situation, as long as I am alive. Even in the most desperate circumstances, I will not despair!” Luo Tianyi stopped laughing and gazed at him thoughtfully, as if recalling something, saying softly, “My dear little brother, you are truly exactly the same as you were before.

Experiencing terrible things, yet always able to smile. When everyone else is gripped by fear, only you remain calm, bringing a sense of security to those around you.

That's why everyone follows you so devotedly. The dazzling light you carry is reassuring, enchanting, but at the same time… it breeds jealousy.” As she spoke, Luo Tianyi began to walk toward Lin Luo.

He didn't know what attack she had launched, but Lin Luo was horrified to find he couldn't move at all, forced to stand in place, waiting for her to approach. “What did you do to me?” Lin Luo couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

“Nothing, I just let you see the reality.” Luo Tianyi stopped before Lin Luo, gazing at him with an air of infatuation, then extended her hands to caress his cheeks, murmuring, “See? If I get serious, no matter how you resist, it’s useless.

I can toy with you in the palm of my hand at any moment. Do you know why I didn’t do this sooner?” “Why?” “Because caressing you like this, looking at you like this… it’s been so long, so long that I’ve forgotten.

I was afraid too, what if this was just a dream? But now I finally know.

This isn’t a dream; it’s reality. So, nothing can stop me anymore.” Luo Tianyi said this, then leaned in and lightly kissed Lin Luo on the cheek, asking softly, “My dear brother, will you let me eat you?” Though her expression was tender, it brought only terror to Lin Luo.

“What if I refuse?” While saying this, he was somewhat impressed with himself for maintaining composure in such a situation. “Such a naughty child,” Luo Tianyi gently chided.

“My brother used to listen to his sister so well. Why have you become so unlovable now?

I suppose I really must consume you!” With that, Luo Tianyi decisively wrapped her arms around Lin Luo’s neck and kissed his lips, then extended her tongue into his mouth, tasting something as if savoring a delicacy, her eyes filled with intoxicating bliss. Lin Luo’s body was controlled; he was completely unable to resist.

Furthermore, under Luo Tianyi’s deliberate manipulation, he was forced to reciprocate the intense kiss. Although the sensation of kissing was pleasant, he felt no joy whatsoever.

After a moment of kissing, Lin Luo suddenly felt a sharp pain on his lip, realizing instantly that Luo Tianyi had finally begun to bite. Although she wasn't consuming his flesh yet, seeing the dimples appearing occasionally on Luo Tianyi’s cheek, he could tell she was drawing blood.

Luo Tianyi was clearly no blood-drinker, so her process of drawing blood was simpler and more violent than a vampire’s, lacking that mixture of pain and pleasure—it was just a stinging
