Chapter 8 - Yin

After a long battle, Lin Xio and the wizard finally defeated 100 celestial angels. As the wizard smiled at Lin Xio, suddenly his head was severed, and the wind blew over his corpse.

The queen stared at Lin Xio with a crazed and terrifying smile, "Lin Xio-kun, I told you not to cheat."

The wind and all objects around suddenly stopped, followed by Lin Xio's body freezing. All the angels there also froze with their eyes wide open.

The queen approached Lin Xio and tore out his heart, crushing it, "I will kill you 50 times as punishment for your infidelity."

The angel queen extended her hand and revived Lin Xio. Lin Xio tried to move within the queen's time-stopping spell but couldn't, as if his body was forced to remain still.

As the queen walked toward Lin Xio, suddenly Lin Xio's hand clenched and moved slowly, "My resolve is firm. I will not give up."

A fist was aimed at the angel queen, and as the punch landed on the queen, time suddenly stopped, and a dimensional crack appeared in the sky. The angel queen was injured, though it cost her one of her avatars.

"I knew it, you're strong, sensei~" The angel queen bowed her head and kissed Lin Xio's feet, "As an apology, I will become your slave~"

Lin Xio pointed with his index finger at the dimensional crack in the sky, "What is that? Is it dangerous?"

The angel queen turned and looked at the dimensional crack, "That's a time rift. Time will remain stopped until that rift is healed."

The queen wrapped her arms around Lin Xio from behind and pointed to a portal behind him, "Enter. I want to talk to you for a bit, Master Lin Xio."

Lin Xio raised his eyebrows and his eyes, then looked at the angel queen, "Who are you really? You said I'm your teacher?"

The queen giggled and smiled at Lin Xio, "My name is Yin, I am the slave you saved in the past when I was being sold as a slave."

Lin Xio thought for a moment and then looked at Yin, "I seem to have met someone named Yin. If I'm not mistaken, Yin was a naive child who liked dolls?"

Yin blushed when Lin Xio remembered what she liked, "You still remember, teacher?"

Lin Xio nodded and walked toward the portal, "Of course, and let's go, I will enter the portal as you requested."

Lin Xio and Yin walked together and entered the portal.

> POV in the Celestial Realm

Lin Xio emerged from the portal and was amazed to see the beautiful scenery of a luxurious castle full of angels, "What is this? This is really cool, Yin. Why didn't you tell me before?"

Yin held Lin Xio's hand and led him to two adjacent thrones. Yin sat down and pointed her index finger at the throne next to her, "Please, Your Majesty."

Lin Xio nodded at Yin's words and sat on the throne next to her, "Is this throne made of gold?"

After a few minutes, the guards threw a prince toward the queen's throne, "Queen, we have captured this traitor for you."

Yin giggled and smiled eerily at the prince, "How do you want your death, my child?"

Lin Xio flicked Yin's forehead, then stood up from the throne, "Stop that, Yin. Isn't he your child?"

Yin, hearing that, could only nod her head, then released the prince and let him go, "Go and never enter the angel realm again."

As the prince walked away, Lin Xio sat back on his throne and looked at Yin, "Do you know who really ???"

As Yin blushed because Lin Xio was beside her, her expression turned innocent again, then she looked at Lin Xio, "It might be very long, I will explain."

"The ??? creature or itself is a soulless creature resulting from duplicating itself from a parallel universe. The true form of ??? is still unknown, as its power is still recovering. From the information I have gathered, it is...."

"You. You are ???"

Lin Xio was shocked and his eyes widened, "How is that possible? I couldn't have duplicated my various bodies into different universes."

Yin started to sigh and giggled, "You may not realize it, it's because you use space-time magic. Space-time magic deflects various soul copies without bodies and bodies without souls to other universes. They pass through the light cone."

"In essence, their souls and bodies are parts of your body scattered. If you defeat them, their powers will enter your body."

"In simple terms, all your scattered souls and bodies, when they go to the light cone, they pass through space-time even though they go in different directions. Still, passing through the light cone will send them to different places."

"Space-time contains the future and the past. As long as you can bend space-time at the light cone, you will see various infinite universes in succession."

Lin Xio pondered for a moment, trying to digest all the information Yin had just provided. Then he looked at Yin with a serious gaze and asked, "Yin, if all this is true, how can I defeat all the copies of myself in various universes? Is there a specific way to do it?"

Yin smiled gently, "You don't need to defeat them one by one, Master. There is another, more efficient way."

Lin Xio raised his eyebrows, "Another way? What do you mean?"

Yin explained, "You can utilize that dimensional crack. With the space-time magic you possess, you can summon all your copies to this place, to one point where you can face them all at once."

Lin Xio looked hesitant, "But isn't that very risky? What if they are stronger than I imagine?"

Yin nodded, "Indeed it is risky, but remember, Master, their power is a part of you. The stronger they are, the greater the power you will gain after defeating them."

Lin Xio took a deep breath, "Alright, I will cultivate until I become stronger. If I need anything, please help me."

Yin saw that Lin Xio's time in the angel realm was up. She began to open a portal for Lin Xio, "Leave now, I don't want you to die because your age increases by 30383939 years."

Lin Xio nodded and walked into the portal.

Yin waved her hand and smiled at Lin Xio, "Goodbye, sensei."
