The moment Yin Ming saw the words in the book, he felt a chill spread rapidly from the soles of his feet to his entire body, causing him to break out in a cold sweat without realizing it.
Ling Yue just said that Yin Ming is the 'Yin Ming' in his mind.
But... the villain in the original novel "Gods and Demons Supreme" wasn't named Yin Ming at all.
It was only after Yin Ming transmigrated into the book and took on this role that he directly gave the villain his own name.
Yin Ming initially thought Ling Yue had misspoke, and since he had also forgotten the name of the villain in the original work, he quickly flipped through the book to verify it.
Unexpectedly, the villain in this book, "Supreme God and Demon," is named 'Yin Ming'.
This must be wrong.
Recalling his experiences over this period, Yin Ming was almost certain that the space he was in now was not the real world he had lived in before!
Did he accidentally stumble into a parallel universe and replace another Yin Ming? Or... is this world simply a man-made illusion?!
Yin Ming prefers the latter.
Because everything happening in this world seems to be desperately trying to gain his trust, so that he can be convinced that this is the world he originally lived in.
The other party probably didn't expect that paying too much attention to details could easily lead to mistakes.
Fortunately, there was such a flaw, which allowed Yin Ming to see the light at the end of the tunnel!
But who exactly has the audacity to create such a grand illusion?
What merit or ability did Yin Ming possess to make the other party go to such lengths to deceive him?
Since no one could provide an answer at the moment, after his initial shock, Yin Ming managed a forced smile in response to Ling Yue's concern.
He planned to continue this charade and find another opportunity to expose the mastermind behind it all.
After all, that person might be secretly observing his every move, and Yin Ming didn't want them to find out that he already knew the truth.
This would give him more time to find a way to escape the illusion.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yue's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a tone devoid of any warmth:
"Since you already know, there's no need to keep pretending."
Yin Ming: ...6.
No, bro, you're just going to self-destruct like this?
They even asked him why he didn't pretend to be more convincing...
The reason Yin Ming's body stiffened just now was simply because the thought that this person was a fake Ling Yao made him unwilling to continue getting close to him.
However, it's good that it's been exposed. He took the initiative to admit it, which saves Yin Ming the trouble of investigating.
"Who are you? Why are you lying to me? Where exactly is this place?"
If Yin Ming is indeed in the illusion right now, it means that he is still in the God and Demon Continent.
Where did his cultivation level and his spatial ring and other such items go?
It was precisely because he couldn't use his true energy that Yin Ming had no choice but to believe that this was the real world...
Wait, true qi?
With a thought, Yin Ming lowered his eyes to look at the location of his dantian.
He suddenly remembered that on the day he woke up in the laboratory, when he was desperately trying to keep the confidential filing cabinet, it was in that very spot that he felt a dull ache.
Ling Yue appeared immediately afterward.
Could it be that Ling Yue sealed his dantian with some kind of evil magic, preventing him from using his true qi?
When Ling Yue discovered that his seal was about to be broken, in order to prevent Yin Ming from discovering that it was all fake, he transformed into Ling Yao's appearance to appease him.
"Hehehe... Who am I? I am Lingyao. Didn't you just believe that I was your Ayao?"
Ling Yue curved the corners of his mouth into a smile, his brows revealing an eerie look—a look that would never appear on Ling Yao's face.
Yin Ming had initially suspected that Ling Yao might have been drugged, causing him to lose his mind and be controlled by villains, thus becoming the Ling Yue he is today.
Now it seems this guy is definitely not Lingyao!
He is a shameful Six-Eared Macaque who stole Lingyao's face!
"You don't deserve it!" Yin Ming spat fiercely. Since they had already torn off all pretense of civility, there was no need to talk to him nicely anymore.
At the same time, Yin Ming focused his energy in his dantian and secretly tried to activate the true energy within his body.
Even if he couldn't successfully activate it, just being able to sense the existence of the seal would confirm his suspicions.
"I'm not worthy? Ha." Ling Yue sneered, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Yin Ming's neck.
"I originally intended to spare your life and let you survive in this illusion, but I didn't expect you to see through it."
"Although I don't know how you found out, you'll probably regret your cleverness."
"Because you will die for this!"
Ling Yue gradually tightened his grip, forcing Yin Ming to abandon his attempt and instead pull on Ling Yue's hand to try and stop his violence.
But to her dismay, she discovered that his strength was extraordinary, and she was unable to break free.
For a moment, Yin Ming felt short of breath, and his face gradually turned red and then purple...
Damn it, it's one thing to not let him recover his cultivation at the last moment, but at least let him leave a last message before he dies!
This damn system never plays by the rules! Even supporting characters have lives!
As if his inner complaints had been answered by the heavens, a black figure suddenly entered Yin Ming's line of sight.
The figure rushed towards them at incredible speed, appearing like a ghost behind Ling Yue, and then slammed a palm hard into his back.
"Cough..." Ling Yue was caught off guard by the palm strike and immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. As a result, the hand that was choking Yin Ming's neck also loosened.
Without his restraint, Yin Ming, who was slumped on the ground, immediately began to breathe in the fresh air.
I almost died, thankfully I survived!
Ling Yue was clearly no longer concerned about Yin Ming at this moment. He turned to look at the man in black with a look of surprise on his face, as if he had not expected the other party to appear here.
The strangest thing is that the man in black had just attacked him, so logically, Ling Duo should have felt angry about it to some extent.
But not only did his face completely lack these emotions, even his tone of voice became somewhat cautious—
"Didn't I send you into another illusion?"
The man in black narrowed his eyes but did not answer. After a flash of light, the Spirit Cry Sword appeared in his hand!
Yin Ming, who had been sitting on the ground watching the show, suddenly straightened up. Could this man in black be the real Ling Yao?!
Ling Yue barely managed to raise his hand and conjure a long sword to block the attack from the man in black, but he had already been seriously injured and had no chance to fight back.
In just a few moves, the man in black found an opening, quickly defeated him, then bent down, grabbed his neck, and lifted him into the air.
Yin Ming just watched the show with his chin propped up on his hand. Serves him right! He was punished for choking him earlier!
Without uttering a single word, the man in black released Ling Yue with a "crack," and Ling Yue collapsed limply to the ground.
As Yin Ming watched him turn around and walk towards him decisively, his heart inexplicably began to race.
"...Ah Yao?" Yin Ming called out softly, somewhat uncertainly.
