On the barren land, a young man stood with difficulty, holding his head with both hands and groaning in pain.

Bang, bang, bang——!

Three white magic circles shattered from his body, and the mental magic that suppressed his emotions lost its effect. As his soul was torn apart, the extreme sadness and pain filled Lin Qiye's mind like a flood that broke through a cage.

Aunt, A-Jin, Captain...

As his soul was torn apart, past scenes flashed through his mind like slides. He fell to the ground in pain, tears mixed with sweat dripping into the ground, soaking large areas of mud and sand.

He was in extreme pain, not only in his body and soul, but also in the deepest softness of his heart.

Song——!

At this moment, several golden figures flew across the sky and landed rapidly beside Lin Qiye.

They looked at Lin Qiye, who was lying on the ground in great pain, with frowns on their faces. At the same time, they looked at Xia Simeng, who was in the lead, as if to ask for her opinion.

Xia Simeng walked quickly to Lin Qiye, put his palm on Lin Qiye's forehead, and input his mental power into his body.

Lin Qiye's soul had been severely damaged by now. Not to mention resisting, he was unaware even when the members of the Phoenix team came in front of him.

At this moment, there was only endless pain and unprecedented sadness in his consciousness.

After a moment, Xia Simeng's face turned ugly.

"What's going on..." Xia Simeng stood up and looked at Lin Qiye with shock in his eyes.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

"His body was severely overdrawn, and his soul was like being put into a blender, constantly being chopped and separated. Logically, in less than ten seconds, his soul would be gone, but at the same time, another force was miraculously repairing his soul..."

"Broken and repaired at the same time?" Kong Shang frowned, "I've never heard of such a thing... What happened to him?"

Xia Simeng bit her lip tightly, looking at Lin Qiye with worry in her eyes, "If his soul really shattered in a short period of time, it would be fine, but his soul is constantly being repaired... In this way, his pain is frozen at this moment."

"What do you mean?" a girl in the team asked puzzledly.

"It's like if a person jumps off a building to commit suicide. His time is forever locked at two seconds before his death. He can only be forced to experience the pain of the moment of death again and again forever, unable to transcend... Of course, the pain of the soul being torn apart is a hundred times more painful than jumping off a building." Kong Shang explained.

"Then... can you save him?"

Xia Simeng slowly closed her eyes and shook her head helplessly, "There is nothing we can do about this kind of injury..."

"Don't die!"

Suddenly, Lin Qiye, who was moaning in pain, raised his head and shouted with red eyes: "Don't die... I won't let you die..."

Then, he barely unleashed a forbidden ruin, in which countless golden lights appeared and disappeared, as if something was brewing, but could only dissipate in vain again and again.

This sudden change startled everyone in the Phoenix team. Kong Shang saw the golden light, thought for a moment, and spoke in surprise:

"【Mortal Realm】? He is Lin Qiye?!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Lin Qiye in confusion.

"He is the agent of the two gods? What is he doing?"

"He's trying to create a miracle." Kong Shang said uncertainly, "Maybe... he has some unfulfilled wish?"

Xia Simeng squatted down, gently lifted up Lin Qiye's body, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? What do you want to do?"

Lin Qiye's eyes began to blur. He lowered his head and growled in pain: "I want to be resurrected... I want them to come back..."

The golden light around him disappeared, miracles appeared again and again, and were shattered without exception.

At this moment, a Taoist with his hair tied up and a hairpin came slowly from a distance. His coarse Taoist robe swayed gently in the breeze. At first glance, he looked no different from an ordinary Taoist in the temple.

But only those eyes seemed to contain the trajectory of the birth and death of all things, bright as stars.

The moment the Taoist appeared, the members of the Phoenix team felt as if an invisible force had imprisoned their bodies. Under the gaze of those eyes, they could not even move a finger or glance.

The Taoist walked forward lightly, his coarse Taoist robe brushing past Xia Simeng's body. The latter stared at the Taoist with eyes full of shock.

You know, as the captain of the [Phoenix] team, she is also a strong person in the "Infinite" realm. When their [Phoenix] team joins forces, they can even fight against mythical creatures.

But in front of this Taoist, he couldn't even bear a glance.

Who...is he?

The Taoist walked straight to Lin Qiye, stretched out a finger, and gently traced the center of Lin Qiye's eyebrows, as if he was sketching something.

When the last stroke was made, Lin Qiye's body shook, and the illusory golden light around him disappeared without a trace. He seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to the ground helplessly.

The Taoist looked at Lin Qiye with approval in his eyes.

"Lin Qiye, your road is longer than you think. If you can pass this level, you will be on your own path..."

The Taoist flicked his wide sleeves lightly and continued walking forward.

Soon, the figure disappeared between heaven and earth.

The power that was suppressing the Phoenix team finally disappeared. They turned their heads abruptly and looked at each other, their eyes filled with horror.

Xia Simeng bent down again and probed his mental power into Lin Qiye's body, his eyes gradually lighting up.

"How is it?" Kong Shang asked.

"His soul has stabilized." Xia Simeng was puzzled, "Who is that person? How did he do it..."

"I don't know." Kong Shang glanced at the direction where the Taoist left. "Even if he is the human ceiling, it is impossible for him to suppress all of us with just one look. Do you think he could be..."

A possibility appeared in the minds of both of them at the same time.

Xia Simeng hesitated for a moment, shook his head, bent down, picked up the unconscious Lin Qiye, and walked forward.

"Who he is may not be that important now. We just need to know that he is a friend, not an enemy. The rest... will naturally be taken care of by others."

At this moment, Lin Qiye, who was on Xia Simeng's back, raised his head slightly and opened his eyes blankly.

"You're awake?" Xia Simeng asked in surprise, "How do you feel?"

Lin Qiye seemed not to have heard her question. He just stared blankly at the air beside him. After a moment, a smile spread across his face...

He stretched out his hand as if trying to grab something.

"Aunt, I'm back..."

Xia Simeng suddenly stopped, glanced at Lin Qiye behind him, and then looked at Kong Shang in confusion.

Kong Shang opened his mouth and said uncertainly: "Is he... crazy?"
