I will introduce elves to the world and create an elf era

After waking up, Lin Yan traveled to a parallel world and found that the elves had just arrived in this world.

What surprised him was that a war was breaking out between humans and elves in this world. The docile and friendly elves regarded him as a monster that would destroy the world.

This made Lin Yan immediately realize that he had to do something and tell the people of this world how to get along with the elves correctly.

final.

Lin Yan subdued all the elves and created his own elf era!

I will introduce elves to the world and create an elf era
Chapter 1: Time Travel! The Elves Arrive and Reveal the Secret System!
“Hiss… my head hurts… where is this?”
Lin Yan rubbed his temples and looked around.
It was a simple, almost shabby, single room with white walls, a single bed, a metal wardrobe, and a desk with an old desktop computer. Outside the window, the sky was so gloomy it looked as if it was about to drip with water. The outlines of distant buildings loomed in the gray mist, and occasionally, the piercing sound of a sirens pierced the dead silence.
Lin Yan struggled to get out of bed, feeling weak. He walked to the window and opened it. A stream of cold, rusty air rushed in, causing him to shiver.
The streets were deserted, only the wind swirled discarded flyers and garbage. Atop a distant high-rise, a giant electronic screen flickered, but it wasn’t an advertisement; it was some kind of emergency announcement. The image was blurry, revealing only the vague outlines of swaying figures and…strange creatures?
“What is going on?” Lin Yan frowned, feeling a strong sense of unease in his heart.
He returned to his desk and pressed the power button on his computer. The old mainframe hummed, and the screen lit up, revealing a news aggregation page.
Shocking! ‘Crystal Deer’ reappears east of the city, destroying three signal towers. Military urgently dispatched!
[Experts urgently call for action: Unknown elves are extremely dangerous, citizens should stay away from them!][Real-time footage: A fierce clash breaks out between defense forces and the “Flame-tailed Monkeys,” with flames shooting into the sky!]On the screen, shocking news headlines came into view.
When I clicked on one of the videos, the picture shook violently, accompanied by terrified screams and explosions.
In the video, a group of human soldiers wearing heavy protective clothing and holding strange weapons are frantically shooting at a monkey-like creature whose body is burning with flames and whose movements are as agile as lightning.
The creature dodged the attack nimbly, and with a flick of its tail, it released a blazing whip of fire that caused an armored vehicle to emit thick smoke!
In another video, a huge deer-like creature with crystal-like horns on its head is using its horns to shoot energy beams, easily destroying buildings and facilities. Below is a crowd of people fleeing in panic.
The news footage washed over Lin Yan like an icy tide. Elves? Unknown creatures? An army? Chaos? This wasn’t the peaceful, orderly world he was familiar with!
Lin Yan stared blankly at the screen, his heart pounding. Fear, confusion, disbelief… a myriad of emotions swirled within him. The chaotic scenes described in the news, the terrifying power displayed by these mysterious creatures known as “elves,” completely overturned his understanding.
Just then!
“Ugh—!”
An indescribable pain suddenly gripped his brain, as if countless steel needles were piercing into it at the same time!
Lin Yan’s eyes went dark, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably, falling heavily to the ground.
Countless unfamiliar fragments of memories poured into his mind like a flood—the life of this young man also named Lin Yan, and this planet called “Blue Star”.
And… three months ago, those creatures called “elves” descended without warning, bringing panic and drastic changes to the world!
Memories flashed by like a fast-forwarded movie. The chaos of the early days of the elves, humanity’s fear and counterattack, the official blockade and research, and… the despair and confusion of this body’s original owner.
The intense pain came and went quickly. Seconds later, Lin Yan collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his forehead soaked with sweat.
His eyes were no longer confused as before, but were replaced by a complex look that was a mixture of shock, understanding, and a hint of bitterness.
“So… I really traveled through time…” Lin Yan muttered to himself, his voice a little hoarse, “I came to a parallel world… where Pokémon… no, elves have appeared.”
He digested the extra memories in his mind. This Blue Planet had a similar technological level to his original world, but its historical trajectory was completely different. Most importantly, there was no Pokémon here, let alone related games or anime.
The humans of Blue Star only had the most primitive fear, hostility, and greed of a few people towards these suddenly appearing “elves”.
Conflict, bloodshed, panic… This is the current situation on Blue Star three months after the elves arrived.
Just as Lin Yan was trying to calm down and accept this cruel reality, a cold, mechanical electronic sound rang out deep in his mind!
[Ding! Detection: Host soul fusion complete, consciousness stabilized…]**
[Pokémon Secret Reveal System, Officially Activated!]**
[This system aims to help the host uncover the mystery of elves and promote understanding and harmonious coexistence between humans and elves.]**
Lin Yan was startled and his eyes widened instantly!
system?!
The standard benefits for time travelers have finally arrived?!
Before he could think about it, a translucent blue screen appeared in his mind, with lines of text clearly displayed on it:
**[Host: Lin Yan]**
**[Current revelation point: 0]**
**[Current Influence: 0]**
**【System Function Description：】**
**1. Secret Revelation Mission:** The Host can reveal the true information of the elves (names, attributes, characteristics, habits, abilities, evolutionary chains, etc.) to the humans of Blue Star through various means (including but not limited to live broadcasts, videos, articles, etc.). Completing the revelation will earn [Revelation Points] and [Influence]. The deeper the revelation, the wider the scope of dissemination, and the greater the impact, the greater the reward.
**2. Redemption Mall:** [Secret Points] can be used to redeem rare items from the Pokémon world.
*Examples: Master Ball (an ultimate Poké Ball that guarantees the capture of any Pokémon), Z Crystal (a specific attribute/Pokémon that can unleash powerful Z-Moves), Ability Capsule (a chance to change a Pokémon’s attributes), Skill Learning Machine, Magic Candy, Evolution Stone…
3. Influence Level: [Influence] represents the host’s reputation and trust among the humans and elves of Blue Star. Reaching certain levels unlocks special rewards.
*Examples: Special skills (such as Wave Force Primary Sensing), Pokémon-specific items (such as the Stone of Invariance, the Mega Stone), the opportunity to have friendly exchanges with certain powerful Pokémon…
**[Main Quest Release: Arceus’s Expectation]**
**Mission Description:** The arrival of the elves is no accident. The great god of origin, Arceus, desires a future where humans and elves coexist harmoniously. Host, please strive to improve the current tensions between humans and elves on Blue Star, eliminate misunderstandings, and build trust.
**Task requirements:** Improve humans’ positive perception of elves, reduce the frequency of conflicts between the two sides, and guide the possibility of harmonious coexistence.
**Quest Rewards:** Rewards will be distributed gradually based on the level of quest completion. The higher the level of completion, the greater the reward. Upon completing the quest, you will receive [Arceus’s Complete Set of Tablets] and [Arceus’s Blessing (Partial Power)]!
Lin Yan looked at the information on the screen, especially the final reward. His pupils suddenly contracted and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, almost stopping beating!
Arceus! The Slate! The Power of Arceus!
This… this is simply a gift from the gods!
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. His brain was working rapidly, connecting all the information.
After traveling to a parallel world where elves have descended and dangers abound, he discovers a “secret system” closely related to Pokémon. The system’s goal is to improve the relationship between humans and elves, and the ultimate reward is to find the creator god…
Behind this… is there some earth-shattering secret hidden?
Lin Yan’s expression changed.
The shock and uneasiness of before were now replaced by an indescribable passion. It was the excitement and ambition of seeing infinite possibilities and grasping the reins of fate!
He looked at the gloomy and depressing world outside the window, and the chaotic scenes of conflict between humans and elves in the news, but the corners of his mouth slowly curled up in a meaningful arc.
The advent of the elves has plunged the world into chaos. Humans fear, reject, and even hunt these powerful creatures. The elves, faced with unfamiliarity and lack of understanding, become aggressive. The conflict between the two sides feels like an unsolvable knot.
But now, he came, bringing with him the “correct” knowledge from another world.
“Unveiling the secrets of the elves, improving relations…” Lin Yan muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with wisdom and confidence. “This isn’t just a mission, it’s an opportunity to…change the entire world!”
In this age of chaos and fear, a time traveler who knows the “truth” holds the key to communicating between the two species and revealing the essence of the world.
Lin Yan slowly stood up, his eyes sweeping across the news headlines on the computer screen that were filled with fear and hostility, and finally stopped at the large words “Arceus’s Expectation” that shone with a sacred light on the system screen.

ActivityRegister as a Filo member and receive 200 points![Register Now]Chapter 2: Novice Gift Pack and Soul Resonance! Target, the Land of Legends! (Old Version)
Lin Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and sank his consciousness into the system light screen in his mind.
“System, receive the novice gift pack!”
[Ding! The novice gift package has been distributed, please check it! ]As the cold electronic sound fell, Lin Yan felt as if three virtual gift boxes emitting soft light appeared out of thin air in front of him, and then opened one by one.
[Congratulations to the host for winning: A set of super live broadcast equipment! ][Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Pokémon Cultivation Beginner’s Guide (System Version)! ][Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Special Ability – Telepathy (Elementary)! ]A series of prompt sounds made Lin Yan’s heart beat faster.
He first focused his attention on the “super live broadcast device.” A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and a stream of information about a futuristic, technologically advanced device flooded his mind.
This equipment far surpasses the current technological level of this planet. It includes a miniature unmanned camera capable of hovering and following, invisibility, ultra-high-definition image quality, and superior anti-shake performance, as well as a live broadcast controller that connects directly to nerves and can be controlled by thoughts. Even more amazingly, it comes with its own energy core and independent signal transmitter, theoretically allowing for stable live broadcasts from anywhere on the planet, regardless of whether the signal tower is destroyed!
“Shh… This is pure black technology in the live streaming world!” Lin Yan couldn’t help but gasp. With this thing, not to mention going deep into those dangerous elves-infested areas, even live streaming from the center of the earth wouldn’t be a problem!
Next, there was the “Pokémon Breeding Beginner’s Guide.” This wasn’t a physical book, but a flood of information that flooded into Lin Yan’s memory like a revelation.
Countless knowledge about the cultivation of Pokémon – no, in this world it should be called “elves” – was mastered by him in an instant.
From the most basic ration selection and energy block production ratio, to the habitat preferences of elves with different attributes, how elves with different personalities get along with each other, to the special evolution conditions of certain elves, and even the initial breeding points for some rare elves…
This knowledge is simply priceless in this world where there is only fear and hostility towards “elves”!
Lin Yan’s eyes brightened as he digested this information. He saw the spirit known as “Flame-Tailed Monkey” in the news, and its true name immediately flashed through his mind: **Flame Monkey**! With its dual attributes of fire and fighting, it’s often impatient and belligerent, but with proper guidance and sufficient trust, it can be an extremely reliable companion. The intensity of the flame on its tail is closely related to its physical condition and mood…
“I see… This world’s perception is so biased!” Lin Yan clenched his fists. “The Infernape’s aggression is largely driven by human attacks and fear! If we treat it the right way…”
His eyes finally fell on that special ability – **Telepathic Resonance (Basic)**.
[Telepathic Resonance (Elementary): Grants the host the ability to sense the basic emotional fluctuations (joy, anger, sorrow, fear, vigilance, kindness, etc.) of intelligent creatures (currently primarily elves) within a 100-meter radius. As this ability improves, the host can perceive more complex thoughts and even engage in simple emotional communication.]The moment the ability was activated, Lin Yan felt as if his spirit extended outward, forming an invisible field of perception.
He “heard” the bleak sound of the wind blowing through the abandoned streets outside the window, “heard” a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in the faint alarm sounds in the distance, and even… he vaguely “sensed” that in a corner of this seemingly empty apartment building, there seemed to be a faint, small consciousness with fear and vigilance.
“This feeling… is amazing!” Lin Yan closed his eyes and took it all in. It wasn’t just hearing a sound; it felt like directly touching the ripples of emotion. Although it was still vague and limited in scope, it was undoubtedly a huge advantage!
With this ability, he can more intuitively understand the spirits’ thoughts and judge their true intentions, rather than simply crudely defining “danger” or “safe” based on their appearance and behavior like the people in this world. This is a masterstroke for completing the main quest “Arzeus’s Expectation”!
“Very good, very good!” Lin Yan’s eyes were shining, and the previous confusion and uneasiness were swept away, replaced by unprecedented confidence and motivation.
He opened the system interface again and looked at the [Exchange Mall].
A wide variety of product icons flashed on the screen:
Master Ball: 1,000,000 Secret Points. (Guaranteed to capture!)
Water Stone: 10,000 Secret Points. (Can evolve certain Water-type Pokémon.)
[Fire Stone]: 10,000 secret points.
【Thunder Stone】: 10,000 Secret Points.
[Magic Candy]: 5,000 Secret Points. (Can raise your Pokémon by one level.)
[Skill Learning Machine – 100,000 Volts]: 50,000 Secret Points.
[Ability Capsule]: 100,000 Secret Points. (Chance of changing a Pokémon’s ability.)
…
Looking at these familiar yet powerful items, Lin Yan’s heart burned with excitement. Especially the purple and white Master Ball with the mysterious “M” logo on it. It was the treasure that every Pokémon trainer (or perhaps “Pokémon researcher” or “Warrior” in this world) dreamed of!
But then, when he saw the long string of “0”s at the end, Lin Yan’s enthusiasm was like being poured with a bucket of cold water.
“One million revelation points… I don’t have a single point right now.” He smiled wryly and shook his head. “It seems that if I want to redeem these goodies, I must work hard to complete revelation missions and earn revelation points and influence.”
Turning his attention back to the [Unveiling Mission] and [Influence Level], Lin Yan’s thoughts gradually became clear.
His current influence is 0, meaning he has no reputation in this world and no one would believe what he says. Increasing his influence is key to changing humans’ perceptions of elves and reducing conflict.
The best way to increase your influence is to reveal the truth about the elves through system-approved methods – live broadcasts, videos, articles, etc.!
“Live broadcast…” Lin Yan’s eyes moved as he looked at the information on the super live broadcast equipment. “This is tailor-made for me!”
In this era of information explosion, but where real information about “elves” is extremely scarce and even distorted by panic and rumors, a live broadcast that can intuitively and realistically show the appearance of elves will undoubtedly cause the biggest sensation, gain the most attention, and be most likely to accumulate influence and reveal points!
“It’s decided!” Lin Yan clapped his hands fiercely, “We’ll use live broadcast to unveil the mystery of the elves to the world!”
His brain began to work rapidly, planning the content of the first live broadcast.
Where to live stream?
Ordinary city streets? Elves don’t appear often, and most of them are small-scale conflicts, which can’t show the whole picture and can’t cause enough shock.
On the front lines of a military conflict? Too dangerous, and with strict official controls, you’d probably be mistaken for a spy or troublemaker.
Lin Yan’s gaze finally fell on an area in the original owner’s memory in his mind – a continuous mountain range located in the east of Longya City, which was officially designated as an “extremely dangerous area.”
**Kunlun Mountains (another name for Blue Planet).**
Before the elves arrived, the area was a pristine and mysterious mountainous region, seldom visited by humans. After the elves’ arrival, it became a haunted area frequented by various powerful and unknown elves. According to the original owner’s memories and scattered online rumors, some even claim to have witnessed a terrifying figure as massive as a mountain, resembling a legendary “divine beast”!
“Divine beast…” Lin Yan’s heart began to beat violently.
If we could broadcast live there, even if it was just to capture the real life of some powerful and mysterious elves, instead of just scenes of destruction and conflict like in the news, it would be enough to subvert the cognition of many people!
If…if I could really encounter the so-called “mythical beast” and reveal its tip of the iceberg to the world…
The sensation it caused and the impact it brought were absolutely explosive!
“The greater the risk, the greater the reward!” Lin Yan’s eyes flashed with an adventurous glint, “Let’s go to the Kunlun Mountains!”
He began to further think about the details of the live broadcast.
You can’t just shoot simply, as that will lack interactivity and the effect will be compromised.
“There must be interactive sessions to answer audience questions and correct their misconceptions in real time.”
“Using ‘telepathy’, I can try to interpret the emotions of the spirits I encounter, showing the audience that they are not just aggressive.”
“Using the knowledge in the Pokémon Cultivation Manual, I can explain the habits and abilities of Pokémon, and even how to interact with them safely…”
The more Lin Yan thought about it, the more excited he became. A bold and thorough live broadcast plan gradually took shape in his mind.
What he wants to do is not just a live broadcast of a curious adventure, but also a world-shaking “Pokémon Science” live broadcast! He wants to become the world’s first true “Pokémon Doctor”, but his platform is a live broadcast room for all the people of Blue Star!
Thinking of this, Lin Yan took action immediately.
He checked the condition of the body. Although it was a little weak, it had recovered a lot after the rest just now and the nourishment of some mysterious energy when the system was activated.
He rummaged through the shabby room and found a sturdy backpack, which he packed with some necessary survival supplies: compressed biscuits, drinking water, a first aid kit, and an engineer shovel that the original owner had used for self-defense.
While the live streaming equipment rewarded by the system is powerful, he is not yet sure whether physical interaction is necessary.
Finally, he immersed his consciousness into the system and activated the super live broadcast equipment.
Buzz…
With an imperceptible sound, a silver-gray metal sphere the size of a fingernail appeared out of thin air in front of him, suspended in mid-air, with the lens turning slightly like a curious eye.
At the same time, Lin Yan felt a translucent operating interface appear in the upper right corner of his retina, which displayed the live broadcast quality, signal strength, battery level (displayed as ∞), and a striking [Start Live Broadcast] button.
Everything is ready.
Lin Yan walked to the window and once again looked out at the gloomy, deadly world outside. The distant alarms continued to sound intermittently, as if they were the background music of this hopeless world.
But his mood at the moment was completely different from this depressing scene.
An unprecedented fire burned in his chest!
“This world shouldn’t be like this.”
“Elves and humans don’t have to resort to conflict alone.”
“Arzeus’s expectations… maybe I can really do it.”
Lin Yan took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely firm.
He turned around, put on his backpack, and locked his eyes on the door, as if the door led not to a corridor, but to a new world full of unknowns and challenges, as well as infinite possibilities.
“So……”
A confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, carrying an aura of control over everything.
“Let’s start our first live broadcast of revealing the secrets of the elves from the legendary Kunlun Mountains!”
“Let the world see the true face of the ‘elves’!”
He stretched out his hand, as if he had already grasped the invisible live broadcast controller, ready to press the button that would vibrate the entire blue planet.
The floating miniature unmanned camera also quietly adjusted its angle and aimed at the first step he was about to take.
The story is about to begin!

Chapter 3 Live Broadcast Begins! Doubts and Journeys Under the Attention of the Public! (Old Version)
Lin Yan stood by the window, gazing at the deadly silent streets outside, feeling the oppression and despair that permeated the air. The distant sirens wailed like the background wail of the world, never ceasing.
But the fire in his heart was already burning fiercely, enough to dispel the haze before his eyes.
“System, start live broadcast!”
As his mind moved, the [Start Live Broadcast] button on the translucent operating interface in the upper right corner of his retina suddenly lit up, as if igniting a spark into a deep pool of darkness!
【Live broadcast connecting…】
[Signal source locked: independent channel…connection successful!][Super live broadcast equipment started… Camera self-test completed! ][Generate live broadcast room…]Buzz——!
As if transcending the limitations of space, an invisible signal instantly connected to the remaining network hub on Blue Planet.
At the same time, in front of countless survivors hiding in shelters, military bases, or trapped at home like Lin Yan before, a brand new, top-ranked live broadcast link, which even had some kind of forced push meaning, suddenly popped up on their personal terminals and information screens!
The title of the live broadcast room was arrogant and eye-catching, instantly grabbing the attention of everyone who saw it:
**《Go straight to the mysterious elf world and witness the miracles of mythical beasts!》**
“What the hell?!”
“Elf world? And mythical beasts? Are you crazy?!”
“This title… who’s desperately trying to attract attention?”
Almost instantly, the number of people clicking on the link and rushing into the live broadcast room began to soar at a terrifying rate!
One hundred… one thousand… five thousand… ten thousand!
In just over ten seconds, the number of online users in this live broadcast room, which had just been opened and only had a young man standing by the window with his back to the camera, exceeded 30,000, and was still growing at an even faster rate!
After all, in this era where information is strictly controlled and everything about “elves” is shrouded in fear and official announcements, words like “elf world” and “divine beasts” are like pouring a bucket of cold water into a boiling oil pan, causing the pot to explode instantly!
In the picture, Lin Yan slowly turned around.
The camera was extremely stable, and the image quality was so clear that you could even see the fine hairs on his face and his unspeakably deep and calm eyes.
He didn’t look at the comments that were flooding the screen like a waterfall, but just looked at the camera with a faint smile on his face.
“Hello everyone, I’m Lin Yan. From today on, I will take you into a world you’ve never truly known—the world of elves.”
His voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every audience member through the live broadcast equipment, with a strange calming power, as if it could soothe the restlessness in people’s hearts.
However, the reaction from the barrage was even more intense:
[Pfft! Someone actually dares to livestream this? Which official department sent this streamer to put on a show?][Putting on a show? I think you’re dying! And the elf world? Do you think this is the travel channel?][Mythical beast? This is hilarious! Is that devastating crystal-horned deer in the news a mythical beast? Is the anchor going to touch its horns?][Just go away, just go away, you’re just a clown trying to attract attention, wasting my data! ][The anchor looks so young, young man, listen to my advice, turn off the live stream and go home to hide, it’s dangerous out there!][This image quality… seems pretty amazing? Much clearer than the official press conference!][The key point is the signal! My god, the signal here is intermittent. How is he broadcasting live?]Doubt, ridicule, worry, curiosity…all kinds of emotions intertwined in the barrage, forming a chaotic torrent.
Facing all this, Lin Yan remained calm. He seemed oblivious to the sharp questions and continued calmly:
“I know that many people don’t believe me and even think I’m trying to attract attention and playing with my life.”
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Buzz!
The floating miniature unmanned camera instantly lost its stealth mode, appeared in a corner of the screen, slowly flew around him, and then disappeared again.
“This is my live streaming equipment. It can ensure stable, high-definition live streaming in any environment.” Lin Yan’s voice was filled with unquestionable confidence. “As for the signal problem, you don’t have to worry. I have my own special channel.”
This move instantly made the barrage of comments stagnate!
[Holy shit?! What was that just now? A flying camera? Invisible?!][This is black technology! This is definitely not something for civilian use! Who is this anchor?][Wait! This device… could it be some kind of undisclosed military reconnaissance device? Is the host a member of the military?]“Even if it’s from the military, that doesn’t prove the existence of a mythical beast, right? Don’t change the subject!”
[This is a bit interesting…it seems this anchor isn’t just a fool.]The audience’s shock was clearly conveyed through the barrage of comments. Many people who were originally preparing to click X to exit hesitated at this moment, with their fingers hovering in mid-air.
This is exactly the effect Lin Yan wants.
He did not directly respond to the doubts about the “divine beast”, but once again used his mind to call up a virtual map and superimposed it on one side of the live broadcast screen.
His current location was clearly marked on the map – an abandoned apartment building on the edge of Longya City.
And a striking red arrow, starting from his location, went all the way eastward, and finally pointed to a vast area marked in scarlet!
Below the map, three large characters were clearly marked:
**【Kunlun Mountains】**
And a smaller note: **[Official certification: Extremely dangerous area, S-level elves are present, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter! 】**
The moment the map appeared, the barrage in the live broadcast room completely exploded!
[Kunlun Mountains!!! He’s going to the Kunlun Mountains?! Crazy! Completely crazy!]“Am I seeing things right? Can you get out alive if you go in there? Even the military wouldn’t dare go deep into that place easily!”
[Host, listen to me! That’s not a place you can go! A few days ago, a fully armed team lost contact on the edge!][It’s over, it’s over. This anchor must be a lunatic! He’s willing to sacrifice his life for fame!][I take back what I said, he’s not a fool, he really wants to die!][Wait… If he really has this high-tech device, and it can ignore signal interference… is he really planning to go deep into the Kunlun Mountains to film those… legendary things?][It’s ridiculous, but I… I actually want to keep reading…]Fear, disbelief, and a hint of expectation that even they themselves were unwilling to admit spread in the hearts of every audience member.
Looking at the subtle changes in the direction of the barrage, Lin Yan knew that his first goal had been achieved – to attract attention and create suspense.
He ignored the advice and curses, but turned his gaze away from the map and looked directly at the camera again, his eyes becoming more serious than ever before.
“I know the Kunlun Mountains are dangerous. Officials have designated them as a restricted area, and the news reports are filled with terrifying images of elves rampaging, destroying, and devouring lives.”
“The crystal-horned deer’s beams destroyed cities, and the flames of the flame-tailed monkeys burned the earth… These are facts, and I will not deny them.”
His tone deepened, carrying an inexplicable power.
“But is this really the full picture of the elves?”
“Have you ever thought about why they attack? What do humans look like to them?”
“Are they really just monsters that exist purely for destruction?”
Lin Yan’s voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting the heart of every audience member.
He took a deep breath, and the knowledge in the “Pokémon Breeding Beginner’s Manual” and the vague perception brought by “mind resonance” flashed through his mind.
“From what I understand, elves, or rather, these beings from other worlds, also experience emotions, as well as varying personalities and intelligence. Some of them, perhaps out of fear, the invasion of their territory, or indiscriminate attacks from humans, display extreme aggression.”
“Like the ‘Flame Monkey’ in the news, its real name should probably be ‘Infernape’, a Pokémon with both fire and fighting attributes. They have impatient personalities, but aren’t inherently evil. If you communicate with them the right way and give them enough respect and trust, they can even become humans’ most loyal companions!”
These remarks were like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves!
[Partner?! What are you talking about?! That’s a fire-breathing monster!][Whitewashing elves? Did I hear that correctly? How many people have died at their hands? Do you still want to be their companions?][You sanctimonious bitch, get out of this livestream! Wait until your family is torn apart by the elves, and then you’ll see if you can still say such things!][Although the host had some substance earlier, this is a bit too… naive, isn’t it?][Wait… Infernape? He seems to know something we don’t?][Could it be that… the authorities have blocked a lot of information about the habits of elves? ][This is terrifying! Could this host be from some secret research institute?]The voices of doubt are still overwhelming, even more sharp and harsh. But at the same time, some thoughtful and probing comments have also begun to quietly appear.
Lin Yan did not retreat, his eyes were as firm as iron.
“I know it’s hard for you to believe what I’m saying now. It’s okay.”
He turned around, picked up the backpack full of survival supplies, and took a last look at the single room he had lived in for only a short time.
“The rest of my journey will be to prove all this to you with facts.”
“I will go deep into the Kunlun Mountains, use these eyes to see, use this lens to record, and use my abilities to try to perceive…”
He paused, his voice firm and decisive:
“I want to show you the true tip of the iceberg of the elf world! I want you to know that they are more than just fangs and claws! I want to reveal to you the truth hidden by fear and prejudice!”
After saying that, he no longer hesitated, took a step forward and walked towards the door.
The tiny unmanned camera, like a faithful recorder, silently floated behind him, clearly presenting his tall and resolute back in front of tens of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room, and the number was rapidly breaking through the 100,000 mark!
[Anchor…are you serious?!]He’s really leaving! Holy crap! Alone?! To the Kunlun Mountains?!
[Crazy! Absolutely crazy! But I… I can’t take my eyes off him!][Follow me! I want to see what tricks he can come up with! Dead or alive, I’ll tell you for sure!]What if…what if he actually captured something? Even if it’s just a little bit different…
[Don’t dream about the ones ahead! Just wait for the anchor to be killed! ][Host! Listen to my advice! It’s not too late to turn back now! ! !]The torrent of barrage comments is still rolling wildly, with doubts and expectations, curses and worries, forming a bizarre picture.
And Lin Yan had already walked to the door.
He reached out and grasped the cold door handle.
Outside the door is an unknown danger, a Jedi in the eyes of the world.
Behind the door are tens of thousands of spectators, their eyes focused on it.
He took a deep breath and said silently in his heart:
“From this moment on, I will overturn the world’s cognition!”
“Uncover the truth about the elves, change the relationship between humans and elves… Arceus’s hope… My mission…”
The corner of his mouth once again curled up into that confident and slightly arrogant smile.
“The first live broadcast of revealing the secrets of the elves has officially begun!”
“Kunlun Mountains, here I come!”
Click.
He pushed the door open.
The blinding sunlight (rare in this gloomy world) filtered through the corridor windows, outlining his silhouette as he embarked on a journey into the unknown.
The scene in the live broadcast room moved forward with his footsteps, and the camera steadily captured the dusty corridor in front leading to the outside world.
At this moment, tens of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room seemed to hold their breath.
Feilu novels, Feilu will make you look good!
Chapter 4: Forbidden Land! Encounter the legendary phantom spirit! (Old version)
After leaving the abandoned apartment where he was temporarily staying, Lin Yan didn’t linger in the ruins of Longya City for too long. The wreckage and panic of the city were no longer his main concern.
With the help of the simple map provided by the system and the instinctive avoidance of dangerous areas, coupled with the “mind resonance” that warned of potential hostile creatures within a hundred meters, his steps were swift and stealthy, like a shadow in the night, silently passing through the dilapidated streets and desolate suburbs.
The camera of the super live broadcast equipment always follows him faithfully, clearly presenting the scenes along the way – twisted steel bars, collapsed buildings, and the occasional flash of heart-pounding traces of destruction left by huge creatures – to hundreds of thousands of viewers, and the number is still increasing.
The comments in the live broadcast room also gradually settled down from the initial explosive growth and heated debate, turning into a complex atmosphere mixed with tension, curiosity and constant questioning.
[The host is truly fearless! We’re almost out of town, right? It feels like the surroundings are becoming increasingly desolate.]“That speed… How did he manage to avoid those monsters? Last time I saw the news, an armored convoy was overturned in the suburbs!”
[Didn’t you see the high-tech camera the host showed off earlier? Maybe he has other life-saving gadgets.][Even for someone from the military, going to the Kunlun Mountains alone is too…][Stop arguing, just watch quietly! I want to see if he can make it to Kunlun alive!][By the way, that ‘Infernape’ the streamer mentioned… is that really the name of the Pokémon? Officially, they seem to have been called ‘Flametails’?][Details! Did you notice that the host’s name for these things seems to be completely different from the official announcement?]Lin Yan’s pace did not pause for a moment despite the discussion in the barrage. His goal was clear—the Kunlun Mountains!
After several hours of rapid trekking, when the outline of the towering mountain range that rolled up and down like the back of a giant dragon across the earth gradually became clear at the end of the sight, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was ignited again!
Those are no ordinary mountains.
Even from a distance, through the ultra-high-definition footage of the super-broadcast equipment, viewers could sense an invisible sense of oppression. The mountains appeared a deep, almost inky black, and between the peaks, a thick, perpetual fog, visible to the naked eye, lingered year-round, like a mysterious and dangerous veil draped over this sleeping dragon.
The sunlight seemed unable to penetrate the thick fog, causing the entire mountain area to be shrouded in gloomy light and shadow, exuding a chilling and frightening atmosphere that kept strangers away.
[…Is this the Kunlun Mountains? Damn, just looking at it makes my scalp tingle!][This fog is so strange, isn’t it? It’s completely different from the ordinary fog we see here!][The official announcement of an S-level restricted area is no joke… I feel like I’m suffocating just looking at it.][Host, how about… should we just go back? This place is truly inaccessible to humans!][Are you scared? Who just said to just sit back and wait for the streamer to die? Why are you trying to persuade him now?][I’m not a wimp, I just think… this is the entrance to hell, right?!]Lin Yan stood on the outskirts of the mountain range, at the edge of a devastated buffer zone that had been crushed and destroyed by some immense force. He paused, narrowing his eyes slightly as he gazed at the mysterious area shrouded in thick fog.
Unlike the fear and oppression felt by the audience in the live broadcast room, when he activated his “heart resonance,” he could vaguely sense that deep within this mountain range, lurked countless powerful, violent, and even malicious life forms. It was a terrifying torrent that was enough to cause any ordinary person to instantly collapse.
But beneath this chaotic and violent background noise, he faintly caught a glimpse of… an extremely weak, yet incomparably pure, and clear as a spring’s strange fluctuation.
The fluctuations were ethereal and misty, carrying an indescribable antiquity and peace, as if they were independent of the violent mountains and formed a world of their own.
“Huh?” Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He did not act immediately, but stood where he was, closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy, and carefully identified the source of the strange fluctuation.
The audience in the live broadcast room saw him suddenly stop and close his eyes, and there was another commotion.
[What happened to the anchor? Is he scared?][Could it be that he’s been mentally attacked by something in the mountains?! Wake up, host!]【He seems to be… feeling something?】
[Playing tricks! I think he just doesn’t dare to go in, he’s just putting on a show here!][This focused look… is kind of handsome, what’s going on? Is this an illusion?]Lin Yan ignored the barrage. After a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes!
Found it!
That fluctuation did not come from the source of the violent aura deep in the mountains, but from… a dense forest in front of it where the fog was particularly thick!
Moreover, the feeling that the fluctuation gave him… was not malicious at all, but rather carried a pure curiosity like that of a newborn baby?
“Interesting.” Lin Yan’s lips curled up slightly, showing the excitement of discovering the unknown and about to solve the mystery.
“Follow me.” He whispered, as if to the camera, or as if to himself.
Then, without any hesitation, he took a step forward and walked straight towards the dense forest filled with thick fog!
The camera followed closely behind him, steady without a single shake, clearly conveying to every viewer his back as he stepped alone into the S-level restricted area that symbolized taboo and death.
[Holy crap! He really went in!!!][Crazy! Absolutely crazy! I take back what I said, he’s not acting, he really wants to die!][This…this is too bold! I can’t even see the road ahead!][It’s over, it’s over. This time I’m really going to die… Three seconds of silence.][Don’t jump to conclusions! Look at his expression. He’s not panicking at all! Instead… a little excited?][This kind of mental quality… is it human? ]As we entered the Kunlun Mountains, the air suddenly became thick and icy. A thick fog washed over us, carrying with it a peculiar, damp, mingled scent of earth and unknown plants. Visibility plummeted, perhaps to less than ten meters.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the slight “rustling” sound made by Lin Yan stepping on the dead branches and leaves. In this dead silent environment, the sound was infinitely amplified and appeared particularly clear.
The live broadcast equipment has a strong ability to capture light. Even in such a dim environment, the picture still maintains amazing clarity. You can even see the tiny dust floating in the mist and the strange-shaped plants in the forest that have never been seen in the outside world.
Lin Yan’s pace was slow, but extremely steady. He relied on his “mind resonance” to sense the increasingly clear pure fluctuations, correcting his direction while keeping a vigilant eye on the surrounding dangers.
He could sense that, hidden beneath the thick fog, there were some vague, prying emotions lingering not far away, but for some reason, they did not actively approach.
“The ecology here… is very strange,” Lin Yan suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. His voice remained calm, coming through clearly through the live broadcast equipment. “The mist seems to contain some special energy particles that nourish some life forms while also strongly repelling others. Moreover… the elves here seem to have some underlying rules or… fears?”
His words once again startled the audience in the live broadcast room.
Energy particles? Repulsion? What are you talking about, host? Is this a science fiction movie?
How did he know? Could he analyze the composition of the air?
[Afraid? What could the monsters in these mountains be afraid of? What are they afraid of?][Could it be…that there is something even more terrifying in this mountain, something that even those monsters dare not easily provoke?][This is terrifying! Could it be that the host is trying to find that ‘even more terrifying existence’?!]Lin Yan did not explain, he was just stating his perception and preliminary inference based on the knowledge in the “Pokémon Breeding Beginner’s Guide”.
Following the guidance of the pure wave, he passed through an area tangled with vines, and the fog in front of him seemed to lighten a little.
A small open space vaguely appeared in front of us.
The center of the clearing seemed to be the only place where light gathered in this dim forest, and a soft, faintly fluorescent mist was swirling around.
And in the center of that soft halo…
A petite figure was floating in the air, tilting her head curiously, looking at him, the uninvited guest.
The live camera focuses instantly!
It was an… extremely small and delicate creature.
Its body is a soft, dreamy pale pink, like the finest cherry blossom petals. Its blue eyes, unusually large for its size, are as clear as pure gemstones, gleaming with a lively and innocent light. Its head is round, its ears long and pointed, and it trails a slender tail with a slightly swollen tip.
It was floating quietly like that, as if shrouded in a faint, almost invisible mysterious halo, which was out of tune with the gloomy and strange environment around it, just like a dream elf that had descended to the mortal world.
After a fraction of a second of silence, the livestream room was instantly flooded with comments like a tsunami! The screen turned almost pure white!
【Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!】
What is that?! What is that?!
[Cat? A pink cat?! Can it fly?!][AWSL! Adorable! So cute! Is this a real creature?!][This is so cute! Oh my god! My heart is melting!!!][Wait! Calm down! This has to be a special effect! It’s definitely CG! How could such a cute creature exist in the real world?!][Yes! It must be the host’s doing! The special effects are so realistic! How much did they cost?!][Wake up, the guy above! Can your special effects create eyes like this? That kind of lively feeling?!][I don’t believe it! This isn’t scientific! This has to be fake! It’s an illusion! We’re all dreaming!][But… it’s really cute… (whispering)][Host! Quick! Tell us what this is! Is it a spirit?! Will it attack people?!]The audience went completely crazy!
Some people were instantly captivated by the appearance of this little pink creature, expressing the strongest admiration and love in their lives, and they couldn’t wait to rush into the screen and hug it in their arms.
Others were convinced that this was a hoax concocted by Lin Yan, a computer-generated effect contrived to attract attention. After all, the contrast between its image and the hideous, destructive “spirits” depicted in the news was simply too stark! It was unbelievable!
Some people who still had some sense remained in awe but remained vigilant. They could not forget the beams of light from the crystal deer and the blazing flames of the flame-tailed monkey. Who knew if this seemingly harmless creature would unleash destructive power in the next second?
Faced with the thunderous response in the live broadcast room, Lin Yan’s face revealed an extremely rare and complex expression that was a mixture of shock, ecstasy and disbelief!
Because, the moment he saw this little pink creature, the system’s cold prompt sound exploded in his mind like thunder!
[Ding! Extremely special, high-energy life form detected!][Information matching…matching successful!][Target: Mew][Attribute: Superpower][Category: New Pokémon (Phantom Pokémon)]【Features: Synchronization】
[? ? ? (Insufficient information, need to upgrade the system level or obtain higher permissions)][Danger level assessment: ??? (Unable to assess!)][System prompt: This encounter is extremely rare, please treat it with caution! ]dream!
It’s a dream!!!
In the Pokémon world, it is hailed as the origin of all Pokémon genes, has infinite possibilities, and is a mythical Pokémon that almost only exists in legends!
Lin Yan’s heart almost stopped beating at this moment!
When he traveled through time, he knew that elves had descended upon this world, and he also anticipated encountering various powerful, even legendary elves, such as the previously mentioned Flame Monkey, and even stronger beings.
But he never expected that the first “non-hostile” Pokémon he encountered during his first foray into the restricted area would be… Mew?!
This is a dream! A being that theoretically possesses all Pokémon moves, can change forms freely, and even has the potential to create life! Its very appearance is a miracle!
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Lin Yan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
At the same time, “Soul Resonance” clearly feeds back the dreamy mood.
Curiosity… a very strong curiosity! And a hint of… friendliness? And an indescribable, pure wisdom that seemed to see through everything.
It really doesn’t have any ill will towards him!
“Everyone… did you see it?” Lin Yan’s voice had a barely perceptible tremor, but more of a solemnity as if he was about to reveal a shocking secret.
He slowly raised his hand and pointed at the pink elf floating in the air.
“Its name is… Dream.”
As soon as the voice fell, the live broadcast room exploded again!
[Dream?! That’s its name?! It sounds so good!][The host really knows! He’s not making this up!][Dreamlike…it sounds just as dreamy as it does! It matches its appearance perfectly!][So…it’s actually a sprite?! Not a special effect?!][I don’t believe it! Unless the anchor can prove it!][Host, please introduce this little creature called Dream! What is its origin?!]Looking at the reactions from the barrage, Lin Yan’s eyes became extremely deep. He knew that his next words would once again subvert everyone’s cognition!
“Mew…” He spoke each word clearly and powerfully, full of unquestionable authority. “It’s no ordinary Pokémon. In the world of Pokémon, it’s classified as a legendary Pokémon. You could even say it’s a phantom Pokémon!”
Chapter 5: Dreamy intimacy! Realistic version of Master Zhi (old version)
Looking at the dream that was happily flying around him and constantly exuding curiosity and closeness, Lin Yan’s tense heartstrings finally relaxed, and a rare and gentle smile from the heart appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew this was just the beginning.
There is still a long way to go to uncover the mystery of the elf world and change human perception of elves.
But at least, he has succeeded in casting a ray of hope and miracle called “dream” into this world shrouded in fear.
“It seems like it likes us very much.” Lin Yan smiled softly at the camera, his voice softer than ever before. He slowly extended his hand, this time, the movement was more gentle, full of patience and kindness.
The dream fluttering around him paused slightly, its large, pure, clear blue eyes blinking, as if assessing his outstretched hand. It could clearly sense that what was transmitted from this person was pure, unadulterated kindness and warmth.
Under the breathless gaze of hundreds of thousands of spectators, Menghuan hesitated for a moment, and then, as if it had made a decision, it cautiously and tentatively rubbed Lin Yan’s fingers with its round little head.
The touch was soft and warm, with a hint of strange energy fluctuations, as if touching a living cloud.
【!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!】
[Bang… bumped into something?! The anchor bumped into something!!!][Ahhhhhhhhhhh I’m dead! Menghuan rubbed his hand! This scene is too beautiful, I can’t bear to look at it! ][My girlish heart is broken! It’s completely broken! I need emergency treatment!][Wow, why am I not the host?! I want to be rubbed by Fantasy too!][I cried. I never thought an ‘elf’ could be so… so gentle and cute!]Wait, look at the host’s expression! He’s smiling! It’s a genuine smile! Oh my god, the host looks so good when he smiles?!
[The crazy fans above, please calm down! The key point is that Menghuan accepted him! This is a historic moment!][I declare that from today on, Dream is my goddess! No, it’s the cute goddess!]The comments in the livestream room were once again abuzz with this heartwarming moment, but unlike the shock and doubt that preceded it, this time, there was more excitement and joy after being deeply moved. Many viewers, who had originally been just curious or watching the excitement, couldn’t help but smile at this moment, as if a corner of their hearts had been gently touched.
Lin Yan could feel the delicate touch of his fingertips, as well as the clearer emotions of closeness and dependence conveyed by the dream. His shock was no less than that of the audience in the live broadcast room, but he controlled his expression well, and only the smile on his face became more real.
“Do you feel it?” He whispered to the audience, “This is Mew, the mythical Pokémon. It’s not an emotionless monster. It has a pure heart and can sense kindness and malice.”
His words, like a reassurance, made the balance in the hearts of many viewers who were still hesitant and doubtful begin to tilt.
However, after this heartwarming interaction lasted for a moment, Menghuan suddenly stopped rubbing her hands.
It hovered in the air again, tilting its head and twitching its nose a few times, as if sniffing the air. Then, a hint of… confusion, and a barely perceptible anxiety, flashed through its large, pure eyes.
“Hmm?” Lin Yan keenly captured the subtle changes in Dream’s emotions, and he immediately felt it through “mind resonance”.
Sure enough, a faint wave of emotion, similar to “searching,” “lost,” and “important,” came from the dream. Although it was vague, Lin Yan was sure that the little guy seemed to be looking for something very important to it, and it seemed… couldn’t find it?
Dreams no longer flew around Lin Yan, but began to drift quickly in a small range, sometimes flying to a strange plant to sniff, and sometimes floating to a moss-covered rock, observing carefully with blue eyes, and making a few low, slightly uneasy “meow” sounds in the throat.
[Huh? What’s wrong with Menghuan? She seems a little anxious?]Is it looking for something? Its movements look like it’s searching for something.
[Anchor, do you know what it’s doing? Is there something wrong?][Could it be… that they sense danger? Anchor, run!][No, it feels more like… a kitten who lost its favorite toy? (whispering)][The truth is revealed above! This anxious little look is so cute, but also makes me feel a little distressed.]Lin Yan looked at Menghuan’s slightly anxious expression, and his heart moved slightly. He did not interrupt immediately, but observed quietly for a few seconds.
“Don’t worry, everyone,” he explained calmly to the camera, “Based on my observations and perception, Dream seems to be searching for something. Judging from its behavior, it’s using its sense of smell and perception to search, which means it may have lost something important, or it may be searching for a specific location.”
He paused, then turned his gaze to the pink elf that was still circling anxiously, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
“Although I don’t know what it’s looking for, but judging by its appearance, that thing must be very important to it.” Lin Yan’s voice became serious. “I’ve decided to help it find it.”
This decision once again stunned the audience in the live broadcast room, and then an even more heated discussion broke out.
[Helping Menghuan find something?! Streamer, are you serious? This is an S-level restricted area!][Fuck! The host’s style! It opened up instantly!][Yes! Help it! Look at it running around in circles, it’s so pitiful!][But…what if what it’s looking for is in a more dangerous place?][Anchor, please think twice! Safety first!]“I think so! This is a great opportunity to build a good relationship with the mythical Pokémon!”
[Yes! Maybe this will give me a chance to learn more about Mew and this world!]Lin Yan ignored the debate in the comments, having already made his decision. This wasn’t just to help Mew, but also to gain a deeper understanding of this mysterious Pokémon and accumulate more knowledge about the spirits of this world.
“Dream,” he tried to use “Telepathy” to transmit a gentle wave of waves containing the thoughts of “help,” “together,” and “search.” “Don’t worry, tell me, what are you looking for? Or, where do you want to go? I’ll help you.”
Menghuan felt the clear intention conveyed by Lin Yan. It stopped circling anxiously, turned its head, and looked at Lin Yan with its big blue eyes full of surprise. It seemed that it did not expect that this human being it had just met would take the initiative to offer help.
It tilted its head and carefully “looked” at Lin Yan, as if to confirm his sincerity.
After a few seconds, Menghuan seemed to finally confirm Lin Yan’s kindness and determination. The anxiety in its eyes eased a little, replaced by a hint of gratitude and…dependence?
“Meow!” It called softly, then without hesitation, turned around and flew slowly towards one direction of the dense forest, while looking back at Lin Yan from time to time, signaling him to follow.
“It agreed.” Lin Yan smiled at the camera. “Well, everyone, next, we will follow Menghuan’s footsteps and embark on an unknown exploration. At the same time, I will also take this opportunity to introduce our new friend Menghuan to everyone in more detail.”
After saying that, he took a step forward and calmly followed the dreamy figure. The live camera was always steadily locked on the lively pink light in front and Lin Yan’s calm back.
Chapter 6: Conquer! Divine Pet Fantasy! (Old Version)
[Wow! Menghuan really led the way! It trusts the host!][My heart melted when she looked back at the host in a dreamy way! So spiritual!][This host is awesome! His communication skills are incredible! Does telepathy really exist?!][The host mentioned earlier that he has telepathic abilities. Did you not pay attention?][Exciting! Treasure Hunt in the S-Class Forbidden Zone (Fantasy Edition)! Who could have imagined this livestream?!][Host, please tell us about Dream! What else is so magical about it?!]Lin Yan began his explanation while carefully following Menghuan through the dense forest filled with thick fog and complex terrain.
“Mew, as I said before, is a mythical Pokémon and is extremely rare. Records about it are very scarce, and most of them come from legends and speculations.” His voice was clear and magnetic through the live broadcast equipment.
“As you can see, its personality is usually lively and curious, full of desire to explore the world. Just like an innocent child, it has a pure curiosity about many things.”
In the camera, Menghuan was just as Lin Yan said. While leading the way, it was often attracted by a glowing flower on the roadside, or a strange little insect poking its head out of a tree hole. It would stop for a short while, poke it with its little paws, or watch curiously for a while, and then remember its mission and hurriedly continue to lead the way. Occasionally, it would look a little embarrassed because of the distraction, and turn back to Lin Yan and say “Meow” softly, as if to apologize.
[Hahaha! He’s a curious baby after all! So cute!][While in a hurry to find something, he can still be attracted by the flowers on the roadside. What a personality! ][Dream: Treasure hunt in progress, please do not disturb… Eh? What is this? So fun! … Ah! Business is important!][This contrast is so cute! AWSL! ][The host’s analysis is so accurate! His understanding of elves is simply beyond belief!][Indeed, the host’s knowledge reserve is terrifying. When will the official release this information? ]Lin Yan continued, “But at the same time, Mew isn’t completely without vigilance. As a powerful mythical Pokémon, it’s naturally gifted with highly perceptive abilities and cautious instincts. It won’t easily trust strangers, nor will it approach danger without hesitation. The fact that we were able to gain its initial trust so quickly is largely due to the goodwill conveyed by ‘Telepathy’, and… perhaps it truly needs help.”
As he spoke, Menghuan, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and glanced warily at a dense patch of bushes to the side and rear. There, a faint but malicious sense of surveillance flashed across his mind.
Dream just hovered in place without making any aggressive moves, but an indescribable energy fluctuation emanated from its body. The sense of being watched immediately receded like the tide and disappeared without a trace.
The whole process was so fast that the audience in the live broadcast room didn’t even react to what was happening.
[What happened just now? I think I saw the grass moving over there?][I don’t know, the dream seemed to stop for a moment, then left again.]“Is it my imagination? I felt a little… creepy just now?”
[Anchor? Are you okay?]Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Through the resonance of his mind, he clearly sensed the fleeting malice just now, as well as the energy fluctuations of Menghuan that seemed calm but actually contained a warning.
“It’s okay,” he replied calmly. “It’s just the natives of this mountain range who are a little curious about us. Don’t worry, with Menghuan here, ordinary dangers won’t dare approach easily.”
His words were filled with confidence, as if he was simply stating a simple fact. After dispelling the peepers, Menghuan looked back at Lin Yan, as if to confirm that he was not afraid, and then continued to lead the way with satisfaction.
[Fuck! The host is so pretentious! I give him full marks!]“Don’t dare approach ordinary dangers easily.” Combined with Menghuan’s reaction just now, this statement instantly became extremely believable!
[The feeling of being led by a boss! Is this the S-level restricted area? A sense of security overflows (Dream Limited Edition available)!][So… Huanhuan actually protected the anchor just now?!][Oh my god! This little guy is not only adorable, but also so reliable?! I’m a huge fan!]As time went by, the distance between Lin Yan and Huanhua was unknowingly shortened. Huanhua looked back more and more frequently to confirm, and her dependence and trust in Lin Yan became more and more obvious.
Lin Yan always maintained a gentle yet firm attitude, and constantly conveyed soothing messages such as “I will help you” and “Don’t worry” through spiritual resonance.
Finally, after passing through an area covered with glowing vines, Huanhuan seemed a little tired. It slowed down and floated gently to Lin Yan’s side.
Then, under the wide-eyed gaze of all the audience, Menghuan stretched out her little head and once again rubbed the back of Lin Yan’s hand gently and with great trust.
This time, it did not leave immediately, but rubbed its cheek affectionately on the back of Lin Yan’s hand like a kitten that had found support.
“Meow~yo…” A satisfied and reassured cry came from Menghuan’s mouth, as if saying: Thank you, I believe you.
[He rubbed it again! He rubbed it again! This time he rubbed it on his own initiative! He rubbed it several times!][It seems to completely trust the host! Oh my god, this scene is so healing!][My heart… is completely melting… blood bag! Give me a blood bag!]Who says elves are monsters that bring destruction? Stand out! Look at us, Dream!
[Wow, the elves in the news were so scary before, I was so scared that I didn’t dare go out at night. Now that I see the dream… I feel… I don’t think I’m that scared anymore?][Me too… Seeing the Crystalhorn destroying the signal tower and the Flametail Monkeys fighting the army, I thought all Pokémon were so cruel… But Mew… is so well behaved…][Host…thank you…for letting us see another side of the elves…][Maybe… elves aren’t all bad? We just don’t understand them yet?]The comments in the livestream were quietly undergoing a more profound change. Many viewers who had previously been filled with fear and rejection of the word “elf” began to see their hearts melt after witnessing the trusting and tender interaction between Lin Yan and Menghuan.
They began to think, to question, and to try to understand whether those creatures that fell from the sky and were called “monsters” were really only capable of destruction and violence?
The dreamy cuteness, innocence, and deep dependence on Lin Yan at this moment were like a key that opened the door in their hearts that was locked by fear, allowing them to glimpse a ray of light called “possibility.”
At this moment, Menghuan, who was rubbing Lin Yan’s hand, seemed to think of something. He raised his head, blinked his big eyes at Lin Yan, and then waved his little paws gently.
A gentle wave of mental power spread out.
A small stone on the ground not far in front of Lin Yan slowly and gently floated up, then turned in a circle in the air as if dancing, and finally fell back to its original place steadily.
The whole process is smooth and natural, full of fun, without any destructive power. It is more like a child showing off his favorite toy.
After doing all this, Huanhuan proudly raised her little head, looked at Lin Yan, and made a “meow~” sound, as if to say: Look! I’m awesome!
【!!!!!!!!! Superpower!!!】
[Holy crap! Telekinesis?! Is this real?!][Just as described in the previous legend! Mew really does have super powers! ][It’s not attacking! It’s just…playing? Performing for the streamer?!][Oh my god! This is so cute! A little elf with superpowers is putting on a show for you! Who can resist?!][I’m completely captivated! It’s a dream! Mom loves you!!!][See?! This is the power of the elves! But it’s not used for destruction, but… like a little trick! This shows that power itself is neither good nor bad, the key is how to use it!]“I’ve got it! I’ve completely gotten it! We can’t deny all elves just because of the destructive behavior of a few elves!”
[Anchor! Not only have you found your dream, you’re also changing our perspective on the world!]In the live broadcast room, the audience, completely captivated by Menghuan’s “superpower trick,” reached a new peak of emotion. The voices of doubt almost disappeared, replaced by infinite love for Menghuan and initial recognition of the “truth about elves” revealed by Lin Yan.
Looking at Menghuan, who had a look of “Praise me now,” Lin Yan smiled from the bottom of his heart again. He reached out his other hand and gently and tenderly touched Menghuan’s little head.
“Well, that’s great.” He used his heart to resonate with her, conveying his admiration and love.
Huanhuan squinted her eyes comfortably and made an even more pleasant “meow” sound. Her little body almost melted in Lin Yan’s touch.
Deep in this dangerous S-level restricted area, amidst the dense fog, one man and one pet formed an extremely harmonious, even sacred picture.
Through the live broadcast, this heartwarming and miraculous scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every viewer. Fear was quietly receding, and a new emotion, a mixture of awe, curiosity, and anticipation, began to take root in countless people.
Lin Yan knew that the bridge of trust had been initially established.
He raised his head and looked in the direction that Menghuan had pointed before, his eyes becoming deep.
So, what is this legendary mythical Pokémon anxiously looking for next?
Chapter 7: The Divine Beast Arrives!! (Old Version)
[awsl! The anchor’s touch! Such a dreamy expression! My health bar is empty! I need a first aid kit!][I declare that this host is my new idol! He’s handsome, knowledgeable, and can even do fantasy!][The previous one, the focus is off! The main point is the fantastical superpower! Telekinesis! It really exists!]“This is amazing! Is this the power of an elf? It doesn’t seem so scary… It’s more like… acting like a spoiled child?”
[Yes! It just lifted a small pebble! No damage at all! It’s completely different from those devastating scenes you see on the news!][I… I think I understand a little bit… Power itself is neutral. The key lies in the user… or rather, the spirit’s mentality?][Host! Keep going! We want to watch more! We want to learn more about Dream and the elves!][Yes! Host! Now that Menghuan trusts you so much, quickly ask it what it’s looking for!]The comments in the livestream had completely shifted from simple wonder and admiration to deeper reflection. Dream’s seemingly simple, yet in reality, small “performance” had overturned countless people’s perceptions. It was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples and shaking people’s preconceived notion that “elves equal monsters.”
Lin Yan felt the delicate, soft fur beneath his palm, and the kitten-like pure satisfaction and dependence the little creature conveyed to him, and his heart softened. He didn’t rush to ask further questions, but patiently and gently continued to comfort this little elf who had just opened its heart to him.
“Don’t worry,” he said in a gentle tone, conveying soothing thoughts through the resonance of the soul, “Take your time. Once you’ve rested well, we’ll continue looking.”
Dreamy nuzzled in comfort again, purring softly, clearly enjoying this intimate interaction. Its large, pure blue eyes were half-closed, filled with a sense of security.
Looking at this harmonious scene before him, Lin Yan’s heart moved slightly. He spoke again, his voice steady and magnetic, as if carrying a soothing power: “Did you see that? This is the power of the elves—telekinesis. But as you can see, Menghuan didn’t use it to destroy us. Instead, like a child showing off a favorite toy, it demonstrated its capabilities to us.”
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the live camera. His eyes were deep and piercing, as if he could penetrate the screen and see into the hearts of every viewer. “Power has never been the criterion for judging good and evil. The heart is the key. We can’t define all elves as enemies just because some display destructive power. What we need to do is to understand them, to comprehend them, just like… what I’m trying to do now.”
These words were powerful and, coupled with the dreamy, well-behaved and lovely appearance in front of them, as well as Lin Yan’s convincing temperament, instantly caused a huge resonance in the live broadcast room.
[The host said it so well! I got it! I really got it!][The key is character! That’s right! We humans have good and bad people too, so why should all elves be the same?!]I used to be scared by the news, but now watching the anchor’s live broadcast feels like I’ve opened the door to a new world!
[The host’s vision is huge! This is no longer just a live stream of curiosity; it’s guiding us to rediscover the world!][I’m a fan! This streamer is not only good-looking and talented, but also thoughtful and profound! A treasure streamer!][Wow, I suddenly feel like my previous fear of elves was a bit… too arbitrary…][Host, keep going! We want to see more! We want to know more!]Lin Yan nodded slightly. He knew that the seeds of changing cognition had been quietly planted.
“Alright, little one,” he patted the dreamy little head gently, “have you rested enough? It’s time for us to continue our journey.”
Dream seemed to understand his words, or perhaps it sensed his urging. It reluctantly stopped rubbing and floated up again. It tilted its head to look at Lin Yan, then turned back to gaze deep into the dense forest, its blue eyes once again revealing the persistence of its search.
“Meow!” It called softly, signaling Lin Yan to follow.
This time, Dreamy’s flight speed seemed more stable than before, and its direction was clearer. It was no longer easily attracted by the flowers and plants on the roadside. Obviously, after receiving Lin Yan’s promise and comfort, its determination to find the lost item was even stronger.
Lin Yan followed, the live camera faithfully capturing the figures of the man and his pet, as well as the ever-changing S-Class restricted area. The thick fog seemed to thin slightly ahead, revealing more bizarre plants never before recorded in outside literature. Some glowed faintly, while others held strange forms, as if from another dimension. The air was filled with a damp, earthy scent mixed with the fragrance of exotic flowers.
[Catch up, catch up! Treasure Hunt (Dream Limited Edition) Phase 2 has begun! 】
[Menghuan seems to have a much clearer goal this time! She doesn’t even look at the flowers on the sidewalk!][Come on, host! Come on, Menghuan! We must find it!]“By the way, what exactly is Mew looking for? Something that makes a phantom Pokémon so anxious must be something extraordinary, right?”
[Could it be some kind of energy core? Or some inherited item?][Thinking a little more creatively, could it be looking for its… child? (Though I don’t know how Mew gives birth)][Don’t make wild guesses! Didn’t the host say Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon, the gene pool!]While Lin Yan was keeping an eye on Menghuan’s movements, he was also observing his surroundings. The further he went, the more he felt that this place was unusual. The energy fluctuations in the air became more active, and even in some places, the plants were faintly emitting a Pokémon-like aura.
“The environment here is very special,” Lin Yan explained to the audience in a low, magnetic voice. “The energy concentration in the air far exceeds that outside, even much higher than outside the restricted area. Any creature living here for a long time will probably be affected and undergo some degree of ‘evolution’ or ‘mutation’. Look over there…”
He gestured for the camera to turn to the side, and saw a vine with several crystal-clear fruits hanging on it, with a light slowly rotating inside.
“I have never seen this kind of fruit in any information. The energy it contains is very pure, but also very restrained. If you eat it rashly, the consequences will be unpredictable.” Lin Yan’s tone was solemn, reminding the audience that the dangers in the restricted area are everywhere.
[Holy crap! Glowing fruit?! Is this a heavenly treasure?!][Hurry up and pick it up! If you eat it, you might be able to ascend to heaven right here!][Calm down, everyone! The host said the consequences are unpredictable! Can you just eat anything in the S-level restricted area?!][Indeed, it looks beautiful, but it might be extremely poisonous.][The host is truly professional! Not only does he know about the elves, he even knows about the plants here!][This S-level restricted area is like an unexplored treasure trove! It’s so mysterious!]Just when the audience was attracted by the strange fruit, Menghuan, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.
It hovered in a relatively open space, a rather abrupt one, as the towering trees around it seemed to have deliberately avoided it. In the center of the clearing, there wasn’t ordinary dirt or grass, but rather a collection of scattered, moss- and vine-covered…huge rocks?
No, not just rocks.
Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed and he walked up quickly.
As he approached, the outlines of the stones gradually became clearer. They were not formed naturally, but clearly showed signs of human carving! Broken stone pillars, collapsed walls, and a huge platform, half-buried in the earth, covered with strange carvings…
This is actually an ancient relic!
【!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!】
[What the hell?! What is this?! Ruins?!][Ancient ruins discovered deep within the S-Class restricted area?! Am I dreaming?!][This style of painting is wrong! Wasn’t it supposed to be a Pokémon quest? How did it become a tomb raiding game?!][Oh my god! This is definitely a major discovery! Even more exciting than discovering a fantasy!][Wait! Why did Menghuan bring the host here? Could it be that what it’s looking for is in these ruins?][Hiss—this is terrifying! Who left these ruins? Could it be that there was civilization here before the elves arrived?]The live broadcast room instantly exploded! Everyone was shocked beyond words by this sudden discovery!
Deep within the Kunlun Mountains, a region rife with dangers and designated a forbidden zone for life, lies a vast ancient ruin! This is a truly groundbreaking discovery!
Countless questions flooded into the audience’s minds like a tide, and their curiosity and desire to explore were instantly ignited to the extreme!
Lin Yan’s heartbeat quickened slightly, but he remained calm on the surface. He walked to the huge, half-buried stone platform, squatted down, and carefully observed the carvings on it.
These carvings were extremely ancient, their style completely different from any human civilization he knew. The lines flowed and mysterious, forming incomprehensible symbols and patterns. Some resembled twisted star paths, others abstract biological forms, and still others… a strange, recurring symbol that resembled a closed eye and a star.
“These symbols…” Lin Yan stretched out his fingers and gently brushed away the thick moss. The cool touch from his fingertips and the ancient and vicissitudes of life made him excited. “They are very ancient, and… they don’t seem like the product of our human civilization.”
His voice, with a hint of barely perceptible shock, was clearly transmitted through the live broadcast.
[Not human civilization?! What is it?! Aliens?! Prehistoric civilization?!][Holy crap! Streamer, please don’t scare me! This is too much information!]Look at those patterns! So weird! I can’t understand them at all!
[That symbol that looks like a star and an eye has appeared several times! What does it mean?][Fantasy! Look at Fantasy! It seems to care about that platform very much!]Sure enough, Menghuan was now floating above the stone platform. The anxiety on its face had vanished, replaced by a complex emotion… bordering on piety and nostalgia. It stretched out its paw, as if wanting to touch the ancient carvings, but hesitated.
Lin Yan keenly captured Menghuan’s emotional changes, and at the same time, his brain was working rapidly.
These mysterious symbols, these relics of non-human civilization, and the dream’s reaction at this moment…
A bold, almost absurd idea flashed through his mind like lightning!
He stood up suddenly, his eyes sharp as torches, and scanned the entire ruins again, especially those recurring eye symbols that looked like stars!
“Wait!” Lin Yan’s voice suddenly rose a few degrees, with a hint of unbelievable excitement, “These symbols… this style… and this recurring ‘Eye of the Star’ pattern… could it be…”
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions, and then slowly uttered a name, a name that existed only in the oldest and most vague legends:
“Jirachi!”
boom!!!
When the three words “Jirachi” were clearly uttered from Lin Yan’s mouth, the entire live broadcast room seemed to be thrown into a nuclear bomb and fell into deathly silence in an instant!
All the audience, whether they were marveling at the ruins or guessing the purpose of the dream, seemed to have pressed the pause button at this moment, and their minds were blank!
Jirachi?!
That legendary “Wish Pokémon” that was only mentioned once or twice in some fragments of myth and some vague ancient texts?!
That ethereal being, as ethereal as a shooting star, that is said to awaken from its slumber for only seven days every thousand years and can grant any wish?!
This… How is this possible? !
After a brief period of silence, it was completely boiling like a volcanic eruption!
【!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jirachi?!!!!!!!!! Did I hear correctly?! The host was talking about Jirachi?!】
[Oh shit, shit, shit, shit!!! A wish-granting Pokémon?! That legend is actually true?!][Crazy! I must be crazy! First it was a dream! Now there’s a clue about Jirachi?! What the hell are you, Streamer?!]My brain is trembling! My worldview, after collapsing, is being forcibly reshaped! Jirachi?! A spirit that can grant wishes?!
[Wait! The host is saying… this ruins… is related to Jirachi?!]“That Star Eye symbol! Could it be Jirachi’s symbol? Oh my goodness!”
[No wonder Mew came here! Could it be that what it’s looking for… is Jirachi?! Or is it related to Jirachi?!][Awakening once every thousand years…granting a wish…this setting…isn’t it too unfair?!]Countless comments swept across the screen like a tsunami, and every word revealed extreme shock, enthusiasm and disbelief!
Compared to Mew, which is rare but at least has a relatively clear definition as a “mythical Pokémon”, Jirachi’s existence is more like an illusory dream, an unattainable myth!
It has almost never been confirmed in any official or unofficial records and only exists in ancient legends that are considered nonsense!
And now, Lin Yan, the man who always brings miracles, has found clues to this legendary “Wish Pokémon” in a mysterious ruin deep in an S-level restricted area!
The impact this brings is simply indescribable!
Countless viewers in front of the screen felt their scalps tingling and their hearts pounding. An indescribable excitement and awe instantly overwhelmed them!
“I can’t be 100% sure,” Lin Yan’s voice rang out again, forcibly pulling the audience back to reason from their extreme shock, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. “However, the style of this relic, these symbols, especially the pattern of this ‘Eye of the Star’, are highly consistent with the description of the oldest legend about Jirachi that I know of!”
He pointed at the stone platform and said firmly, “According to legend, Jirachi is the incarnation of the ‘Millennium Comet.’ Every thousand years, when the Millennium Comet streaks across the sky, Jirachi awakens from his slumber, uses the ‘Eye of Truth’ on his forehead to read the wishes of pure people, and grant them. This ‘Eye of Stars’ symbol is most likely an ancient depiction of Jirachi’s ‘Eye of Truth’!”
“As for this relic…” Lin Yan looked around, his eyes flashing with wisdom and exploration. “It’s very likely that it was a holy place built in ancient times to welcome or worship Jirachi! Or perhaps it’s the place where Jirachi once stayed and slept!”
His reasoning was clear and logical, and combined with the physical evidence and ancient legends before him, it instantly convinced most of the audience in the live broadcast room!
[I believe it! I completely believe it! The host is awesome!!! (crackling)][This analysis makes so much sense! Legend and reality are connected!][A sacred site built in ancient times for Jirachi worship?! Holy crap! This historical value is inestimable!][No wonder Mew is here! It must be related to Jirachi!][Could it be that the things that Mew lost are related to Jirachi’s awakening?!]“Make your wish come true! Brothers! If we can find Jirachi, then maybe… (I don’t dare to think about it)”
[Don’t dream about the one ahead! Even if you find it, the legend says it’s about reading the wishes of a ‘pure person’! Do you have it? (dog head)][The point is wrong! The point is! We may be witnessing the unveiling of a myth! ]Chapter 8: Open the Ruins!! (Old Version)
[Hold your breath! Follow the host! Something big is coming!][Wow, I’m a little nervous. It’s pitch black inside these ruins, and it feels so scary!][Fantasy protects the anchor! The anchor protects Fantasy! You all need to be well!][I bet you there’s a trap inside! A must-see for tomb raiders!][Don’t be such a pessimist! Pah! The host will definitely pass the level successfully!]Lin Yan took a deep breath. The uniquely damp air of the S-Class restricted area, mingled with the fragrance of earth and unknown plants, now carried a hint of a long-forgotten ancient aura and a faint… a restless energy. He glanced at Menghuan, who was hovering beside him, also curiously examining the dark entrance. He sent a soothing thought through his mind: “Don’t be afraid. Follow me.”
“Meow~” Menghuan rubbed his arm, her little face full of trust. The pink halo looked particularly soft in the darkness, but it could only illuminate a small area around it.
One person and one pet officially stepped into the ancient ruins that may hide the secret of the “Wish Pokémon” Jirachi.
The live camera followed closely behind, and the drone’s built-in low-light lighting system was activated, barely presenting the scene in front to tens of millions of viewers.
Unlike the vibrant yet dangerous primeval forest outside, the inside of the ruins is another completely different kind of dead silence and depression.
Underfoot was a cold, hard stone passage. I had no idea what it was made of, but there was a faint echo when I stepped on it, which spread throughout the empty, deep passage, adding a touch of eeriness. The air was so humid that it felt like it could be wrung out of water. The walls were covered with slippery moss and unknown ferns. Water droplets slowly slid down the stone walls, “tick, tick,” like the silent counting of an ancient clock.
The most striking thing was the walls on either side of the passage. Far from being completely dark, they were inlaid with irregular patterns resembling shattered crystals. These crystals emitted a faint, eerie, flickering light, primarily blue-green, with occasional hints of eerie purple. The light wasn’t intense, but it was enough to highlight the more complex and incomprehensible ancient carvings on the walls.
These lines were denser and more abstract than those seen on the platform outside. They resembled the trajectory of some kind of energy flow, or the neural circuits of some unknown creature, entwined and interwoven, covering the entire wall as far as the eye could see. Illuminated by the eerie light, these lines seemed to slowly wriggle, bringing with them an indescribable sense of visual oppression.
[Hiss—what kind of place is this? It feels so eerie!]What’s that glowing on the wall? An energy crystal? Don’t get too close, host!
[This mural… No, these engravings are making my scalp tingle. It’s so weird!][My sanity is dropping like crazy! I feel like I’m going to have nightmares if I keep watching this!][Anchor, anchor! Does Dream seem a little uneasy?]Lin Yan noticed it, too. Menghuan no longer looked around as lively as before, but instead stayed close to him. Her pink body was slightly tense, her blue eyes scanning the surroundings warily, and she occasionally let out a low “meow…” from her throat, a hint of warning.
“The energy field here is very chaotic,” Lin Yan lowered his voice, but it still came through the microphone clearly throughout the live broadcast room. “The glowing substance on the wall seems to be some kind of energy conduction medium, but its properties are very unstable. And these engraved lines are probably not just decorations…”
Before he finished speaking——
Boom!!!
A dull thud suddenly erupted from beneath their feet without warning! The entire stone passageway suddenly shook violently! It was as if a sleeping ancient beast had been awakened and was roaring angrily underground!
[Holy crap!!! There was an earthquake?!][No way!?! The trap was triggered right after entering?!][I told you there was a trap! Watch your step, anchor!][Ahhhh! Dream! Fly!]The live broadcast room’s barrage of comments instantly exploded! Countless viewers’ hearts were in their throats! The camera shook violently, and the scene was almost out of control!
However, Lin Yan’s reaction was so fast that it exceeded the limits of human beings!
In the 0.01 second when the vibration occurred, he didn’t even have time to make any physical movements, but his mental power had already been connected with the dream through the resonance of the mind, like lightning!
“Dream! Float up!!”
There is no language, only the purest and most urgent mental instructions!
“Mee!!!”
The dreamy blue eyes instantly burst into brilliant light! A powerful, invisible wave of telekinesis, centered on its tiny body, suddenly spread out!
**Buzz——**
The air seemed to freeze for a moment!
Then, just as the stone slabs beneath Lin Yan and Huanhuan’s feet shattered into pieces, countless sharp stone spikes flashing with a cold blue light shot out from the ground like the fangs of a poisonous snake at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to grasp.
Lin Yan and Huanhuan’s bodies were steadily lifted up by a soft and powerful mental force, and instantly floated in the air!
Chichichichichi——!!!
Countless spikes grazed their feet with a terrifying piercing sound, piercing the spot where they had just stood with a sharp sound that ripped through the air. The spikes were densely packed, like a jungle of death! The surface of the spikes was covered with a strange blue fluorescence, obviously tempered by some unknown energy, and any contact was fatal!
Until this moment, Lin Luo calmed down, looked at the terrifying spike trap below, and slowly exhaled.
The live broadcast room was already dead silent.
It took a full three seconds for the tsunami-like barrage of comments to completely flood the screen!
【!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!】
[What just happened?! I couldn’t even follow it!!!][Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! I’m so scared!!! The host is flying?!][It’s a dream! It’s the power of a dream! Oh my god! It’s so timely!!!][Such reaction speed! Such telepathy! The synergy between the host and Menghuan is simply amazing!]“My heart almost stopped! It was just a little bit off!”
[Wow, Dream is so strong! The host is so calm! This duo is so reliable!][I’m so impressed! This live broadcast is 10,000 times more exciting than a top-tier special effects movie!]The audience’s emotions were like a roller coaster, from horror to stupor, and then to the moment of survival and extreme admiration!
Lin Yan’s calmness in the face of danger and his ability to instantly direct Menghuan to avoid the fatal trap through telepathy simply refreshed their understanding of “on-the-spot reaction” and “human-pet tacit understanding”!
“It seems the owner of these ruins doesn’t welcome outsiders.” Lin Yan, suspended in mid-air, spoke calmly, even with a hint of teasing, as if he wasn’t the one who had just faced a life-or-death situation. He glanced down at the spikes below, flashing a dangerous blue light, his eyes sharp. “Furthermore, the energy contained in these traps seems different from the elven energy system outside—much older, and more…strange.”
As he spoke, he gestured for Menghuan to fly slowly forward, while carefully observing the changes in the passage.
[I absolutely rave about this host’s awesomeness! He remains calm even when facing a mountain collapse!][That tone! Big boss! Definitely a big boss! How can you remain so calm even after nearly losing everything just now?!][Indeed, the energy of this trap feels strange, a faint blue light, neither electric nor ice-based…][Ancient civilization’s advanced technology? It’s terrifying to think about!][Anchor, there seems to be something ahead! ]Just as the comment said, after avoiding the spike trap and flying forward about ten meters, a new obstacle suddenly appeared in the passage ahead!
It is no longer a physical trap, but… three parallel energy barriers like light curtains!
These three energy barriers stretched across the center of the passage, almost completely blocking the path ahead. They were a translucent golden color, with countless fine electric currents slithering and pulsing across their surfaces like tiny golden snakes, emitting a soft, sizzling sound. A faint ozone smell, like burnt metal, even permeated the air.
There was a gap of about two meters between the barriers. Just by looking at the constantly jumping golden electric current, one could sense the terrifying energy contained within it!
[Holy crap! Again?! Is this the power grid?!][Golden lightning?! It looks so powerful! If I touch it, won’t I turn into charcoal?!][The physical trap is over, so it’s an energy trap? The designer of this ruins knows how to defend!]How do I get through this? Can I just go through the dream?
[It’s hard to say. Although telekinesis is strong, it’s hard to say how effective it will be against this pure energy barrier.][Host, how about trying to attack the barrier? See if you can break it?]Lin Yan ignored the various speculations in the barrage. He stopped Menghuan about five meters away from the first energy barrier and observed it carefully.
He could clearly sense that the energy contained in these three energy barriers was extremely large and stable, far beyond the reach of ordinary attacks. Moreover, the jumping golden current gave him an intuition that it was extremely dangerous and must not be touched lightly.
Breaking through by force is not a wise choice.
His gaze slowly moved away from the energy barrier and toward the walls on both sides of the passage.
The crystals and ancient carvings that had previously emanated an eerie glow from the walls seemed to become even more active. Particularly near the energy barrier, at certain points on the wall, where the carvings converged, they seemed to form… slightly raised structures resembling buttons or runestones?
These structures are inconspicuous and easily overlooked, but with Lin Yan’s powerful spiritual perception and keen observation, they are nowhere to be found.
He noticed that the symbols carved into these raised structures were exactly the same ones he had seen on the entrance platform of the ruins! Distorted star paths, abstract biological forms, and… that recurring “Eye of the Stars”!
“I see…” Lin Yan’s lips curled up in a smile of understanding, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. “These energy barriers aren’t an unbreakable deadlock. Their switches are hidden in the mechanisms of these walls.”
【!!!!!!!!!!!! The host discovered it?!】
[A mechanism? Where is it? Why can’t I see it?][The host’s observation skills are terrifying! He can even find this?!][So, I have to press the button on the wall to remove the barrier?][It must be! And I guess the order has something to do with the symbols!][Star Eye! It’s that symbol again! It’s definitely the key!]The audience in the live broadcast room instantly became excited! The hope of escaping the desperate situation was rekindled! Everyone’s eyes were focused on Lin Yan and the area of the wall he was pointing at!
Lin Yan controlled his dreamy mental power and slowly descended to a position close to the wall, but still remained suspended in case there were other traps on the ground.
He stretched out his hand, his fingertips about to touch one of the raised stones engraved with the symbol of a twisted star trajectory.
“These symbols represent different meanings and energy properties.” Lin Yan’s voice was filled with confidence, as if he was not solving a puzzle but giving a wonderful academic lecture. “Based on my preliminary observations of the arrangement and combination of those symbols on the external platform, and the subtle changes in energy flow when the spike trap was triggered just now…”
His brain was working at a rapid pace, and countless pieces of information about symbols, trajectories of energy fluctuations, and clues to the layout of the ruins flashed by like data streams.
“If I’m not mistaken, the correct order for dismantling these three energy barriers should be the ‘Star Trail’, which symbolizes guidance and protection, followed by the ‘Spiral Flower’, which represents energy conversion, and finally, the ‘Eye of the Stars’, which contains the core power!”
His tone was firm and full of unquestionable certainty!
[Holy crap! The host even figured out the order?!][Star Trails? Spiral Flowers? Star Eyes? Sounds so grand!][I don’t understand what he’s saying, but I think the host is awesome!]Is this the world of academic elites? Even exploring feels like solving math Olympiad problems!
[Press! Press! I can’t wait to see the barrier disappear!][It has to be correct! Otherwise, what if I press the wrong button and trigger an even scarier trap?! (Shivering)]Under the tens of millions of viewers’ tens of millions of nervous and expectant gazes, Lin Yan took a deep breath, his eyes sharp and focused.
He stretched out his finger and, without the slightest hesitation, pointed precisely at the protruding stone on the wall that was carved with distorted star tracks!
His fingertips were about to touch the cold and ancient mechanism!
Can this earth-shattering first step open the way to deeper parts of the ruins?
Or, a wrong touch will lead to an even more terrifying backlash?
All the audience in the live broadcast room held their breath, and their hearts seemed to be jumping out of their chests!
Time, at this moment, seems to have frozen!
Chapter 9: The Divine Beast That Can Grant All Wishes! (Old Version)
[Star Trails? Spiral Flowers? Star Eyes? That sounds so grand! I don’t understand it, but I think the host is awesome!]In the live broadcast room, the heartbeats of tens of millions of viewers almost froze along with the air in front of Lin Yan’s fingertips.
It was an intense tension, a mixture of fear of the unknown and intense anticipation for the mystery to be solved. Many people in front of the screen subconsciously held their breath, their palms sweating, their eyes fixed on the slender finger in the center of the screen, about to touch the ancient stone.
Lin Yan’s eyes were sharp and focused, as if they could see through time, engaging in a silent conversation with the builders of the ruins. He could sense the faint yet unique energy fluctuations emanating from the stone with the “star track” symbol, which perfectly matched the first step in his deduction.
That’s it!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yan’s fingers finally…
Touched the cold, rough, protruding stone with a sense of time sedimentation!
“Buzz…”
A slight humming sound, as if coming from ancient times, was heard. It was not emitted by the stone itself, but by a strange resonance of the energy field that permeated the entire passage.
[It’s moving! There’s a reaction!]Is this correct?! Will the barrier disappear?!
[Don’t tell me it’s triggering some kind of death ray! My heart can’t take it!][Host! Look! What is that?!]Just when everyone’s attention was focused on Lin Yan’s fingers and the energy barrier that might change——
Something strange happened suddenly!
It didn’t come from the golden barrier in front, nor from the walls under the feet or on both sides!
But… deep in the center of the entire ruins!
**Sizzle——!!!**
A ray of light, far brighter and purer than all the previous lights, suddenly burst out from the depths of the passage without any warning!
This light is not like the eerie blue of the crystal, nor is it like the sharp gold of the energy barrier. It is a kind of… warm, soft, holy platinum color like a newborn star!
The moment the light burst, it seemed as if time had been stretched out, leaving all the viewers in the live broadcast room with only a blinding white! The drone’s camera was instantly overexposed, capturing only a glaring halo!
[Ahhh! My eyes! Flashbang?!][What’s going on?! Why did it suddenly light up?!][It’s not a mechanism! This light… feels different!][Host?! Host, are you okay?! Where’s Menghuan?!]【Please recover quickly! I’m so anxious! 】
The dazzling light came and went quickly, but its impact did not disappear immediately.
When the audience’s vision gradually recovered from the extreme white light as the drone lens automatically adjusted, everyone was stunned.
A strange, five-second-long blank appeared in the comments section of the livestream, as if the tens of millions of viewers were simultaneously silenced.
Because they saw… a scene that they will never forget.
The ruins passage, once dark and damp, filled with an oppressive and eerie atmosphere, was now completely illuminated by an indescribable soft glow. This glow came from no single source, but rather permeated every corner of the air, dispelling all gloom. Even the slippery moss on the walls and the shadows in the corners seemed less terrifying under this light, instead revealing a strange, dreamlike beauty.
The source of this light was floating in the air not far in front of Lin Yan and Menghuan.
It was a… small figure.
It looks like an exquisite puppet, its entire body a warm, light blue, as if condensed from the purest sky and the gentlest moonlight. It has a pair of disproportionately large, clear eyes, like a night sky studded with the brightest stars, pure and innocent, full of curiosity about the world.
Its body was small and delicate, with short limbs and a baby-like tenderness. The most peculiar thing about it was its head: a crown-like ornament, composed of three golden petals, adorned with gem-like blue dots at its tips. And on its abdomen, a strange, tightly closed structure, like an eye, now emitted a core, pulsating, soft aura.
It just floated there quietly, with faint, stardust-like light surrounding its tiny body, as if it were a dreamlike creature from a fairy tale.
**“Mmm…?”**
A soft, lingering moan, a hint of confusion and the laziness of a newly awakened soul, emanated from the tiny figure. The sound was quiet, but it reached everyone’s ears clearly, like the sound of a wind chime, instantly melting everyone’s heart.
[What…what did I see?! An angel?!][This is… so cute! ! ! ! What kind of Pokémon is this?! AWSL! ! ! !][Wait! This… could this be… the legendary…?]“It’s it! It’s definitely it! ‘Eye of the Stars’! That symbol! The wish-granting Pokémon—Jirachi!!!”
[Holy shit! Holy shit! The streamer actually found her?! A living Jirachi?!][Oh my god! The legend is actually true! Am I dreaming?!][Wow, it looks so small and cute. I want to hug it!][Host! Quick! Say hello to it!]The deadly silent livestream was instantly flooded with comments like a tsunami! This time, instead of the previous tension and fear, there was extreme shock, ecstasy, disbelief, and the excitement of being instantly struck by the pure loveliness and sacredness!
Countless audience members leaped from their seats in excitement, gesturing incoherently at the screen, trying to share their shock with those around them. Jirachi! That mythical Pokémon, said to exist only in the most ancient legends, awakening only once every thousand years and capable of granting any wish! It actually existed! And, right here, right now, it appeared before everyone, alive and well!
This impact was a hundred times, a thousand times, stronger than any trap I had encountered before!
Lin Yan also stopped, his fingers still hovering in front of the “Star Track” mechanism stone.
He did not lose his composure like the audience in the live broadcast room, but his eyes were filled with unconcealable surprise and… a hint of understanding.
“So… that’s how it is.” He murmured to himself, his gaze falling on the creature that had just woken up and was blinking its big eyes curiously, looking around, as well as at him and the dreamy Jirachi.
Unlike the audience’s simple excitement, Lin Yan’s telepathic resonance ability captured more information the moment Jirachi appeared.
He could clearly sense a vast and gentle spiritual power, pure to the extreme, like a star that had been dormant for far too long, slowly awakening and spreading from Jirachi’s tiny body. It was like watching a seed finally break through the soil after a long slumber, encountering sunlight and air for the first time.
Its consciousness was still hazy and completely unfamiliar with the world. It didn’t understand why it had woken up, who the two “strange” creatures before it were, or where this place illuminated by light was.
It just… woke up.
“Meow?” Dream, floating beside Lin Yan, tilted its head curiously and gave Jirachi a friendly call. As both were mythical Pokémon, there seemed to be a natural affinity between them.
Jirachi seemed to be attracted by Mew, and turned his big eyes to Mew, with a hint of curiosity and kindness in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Yan knew that this was the best time to communicate.
He did not rush forward, nor did he make any sound. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes, concentrated his mental power, and then, through the resonance of the mind, conveyed the purest and gentlest thoughts to Jirachi.
In that thought, there was no greed, no malice, only a calm greeting and a welcome to its awakening.
He spoke as if to a child who had just woken up, using his mental power to describe his purpose:
‘Hello, sleeping star child. We mean no harm.’
‘We are seekers, seeking ancient truths.’
“This world, and the relationship between humans and Pokémon, is undergoing a transformation. We hope to find a better way to coexist.”
‘Your presence may be a guide.’
Lin Yan didn’t mention “wish.” He knew that for a newly awakened Jirachi still naive about the world, asking directly for something would be inappropriate and might even cause it to be wary and uneasy. He simply stated his goal frankly: to explore the truth and improve relations.
Jirachi’s small body moved slightly, as if it had “heard” Lin Yan’s thoughts. Its eyes, as pure as the sea of stars, slowly turned to Lin Yan.
It looked at Lin Yan quietly, with no fear or rejection in its eyes, only a pure scrutiny that seemed to see through people’s hearts.
After a few seconds, Jirachi seemed to understand Lin Yan’s kindness. A hint of… what could be called a “smile” appeared on its face. It was subtle, but it was there.
Then, an incredible scene happened.
Jirachi gently raised its little hand, and the light around the tightly closed “Eye of Truth” on its abdomen became brighter and softer.
A warm energy like golden sunlight slowly spread out like water waves with Jirachi as the center!
This energy is full of the breath of life, and miracles are happening wherever it passes!
On the walls of the passage, the tiny cracks created by the traps began to heal at a visible speed! Withered mosses and ferns seemed to be infused with new life, radiating a faint green hue. Even the perennial chill and dampness in the air seemed to be diluted by this warm energy.
The ground that was previously damaged by the spike trap, although the spikes were still there, the edges of the cracked stones around it also emitted a soft glow, as if it was being slowly repaired!
【!!! What is it doing?! Treatment?!】
[Holy crap! The cracks in the wall are healing! What kind of magical power is this?!][Healing energy! Is this Jirachi’s healing ability?! It’s too strong!][It seemed… to understand the host’s words? And accepted the host’s kindness?][Wooooooo, little Jirachi! It’s repairing this ruin!][This is simply a miracle! A living miracle!][The host is awesome! He can actually communicate with Jirachi! This telepathy is so buggy!]The audience in the livestream were once again deeply shocked! They had witnessed firsthand the legendary Pokémon not only awaken, but also display such incredible, god-like abilities to repair its wounds! And all of this seemed to stem from Lin Yan’s silent communication just now!
This instantly elevated the audience’s admiration for Lin Yan to a new peak! This was no longer simply about his strength; this was simply… a messenger communicating with the gods!
Lin Yan felt the warm, healing energy brushing against his body. Although it had no effect on him personally, it brought a sense of comfort from within. He looked into Jirachi’s pure eyes and knew that his initial communication had been successful.
He seized the opportunity and immediately faced the live camera, introducing the product to the audience in a tone of amazement yet professionalism:
“Did you see that? This is the legendary wish-granting Pokémon—Jirachi!”
“As recorded in ancient legends, Jirachi possesses unimaginable mystical powers. It is no ordinary Pokémon, but a being that shines with the stars and resonates with the earth.”
His voice was clear and magnetic, attracting everyone’s attention.
“According to extremely rare documents, Jirachi spends most of his time dormant in a crystalline cocoon made of pure energy. He awakens only once every thousand years, and that awakening lasts only seven days and seven nights.”
“During these short seven days, it is said that it possesses the incredible power to grant people’s wishes! Whether it is wealth, power, or any other pure wish, as long as it is recognized by Jirachi, it may come true.”
Lin Yan paused, his gaze once again fixed on Jirachi, who was bathed in a gentle glow and looked even more sacred and lovely. His tone was filled with emotion:
“How fortunate we are today to witness this once-in-a-millennium awakening! This isn’t just an adventure, it’s also… a personal verification of myths and legends!”
“The energy it just released contains powerful vitality and healing power. It can repair physical damage and perhaps even…heal spiritual wounds. This may only be the tip of the iceberg of its capabilities.”
Lin Yan’s introduction, coupled with the magical sight of Jirachi repairing the ruins in front of them, made all the viewers in the live broadcast room completely immersed in this dreamlike atmosphere.
[Awakening once every thousand years! Only seven days! Holy shit! What kind of luck are we having?!][Wishes come true! Can wishes really come true?! Streamer! Make a wish now!][Wish for world peace! Wish for everyone to have Pokémon!][Sir, don’t be impulsive! Legend has it that making random wishes doesn’t end well!][Right, right, right! The host just communicated very well. Maintain goodwill! Don’t be greedy!]Jirachi is so mysterious! Is this a mythical Pokémon? It feels completely different from a meh Pokémon!
[Mew is lively and curious, Jirachi is calm and sacred… I want them both!]This world is so amazing! Pokémon like this really exist! I really want to go to the Pokémon world!
[Wow, after watching the anchor’s live broadcast, I feel that our original world is so boring…]The audience was captivated by Jirachi’s mystery and power. Their yearning for Pokémon, their thirst for a world filled with wonders, reached its peak at that moment. Lin Yan’s livestream wasn’t just about revealing the secrets of Pokémon; it also planted the seed of a dream in the hearts of countless people.
Lin Yan looked at the comments and smiled slightly. He knew that his goal was being achieved step by step.
But right now, there is a more immediate problem that needs to be addressed.
Jirachi’s appearance interrupted his attempts to remove the barrier. The three energy barriers, still gleaming with golden electricity, still stretched out before him.
What will Jirachi, who has just awakened, do? And what is its relationship with the mechanism of this ruin?
Lin Yan’s gaze shifted between the gentle Jirachi and the dangerous energy barrier, his heart filled with new questions and expectations.
The awakening that happens once in a thousand years has just begun.
And with the appearance of Jirachi, the core secret of this ancient relic seems to be about to be revealed…
Chapter 10: Crisis is coming! Attackers! (Old version)
Chapter 9: The Choice of Desire
Inside the passage of the ruins, the holy platinum light that erupted when Jirachi awakened had not yet completely dissipated, and the air was filled with a freshness and warmth like the sun after rain.
The healing energy released by Jirachi was like an invisible spring breeze, quietly repairing the cracks on the ancient stone walls, and even the withered moss came back to life.
Mew flew curiously around Jirachi, chirping “Meow~ Meow~,” seemingly showing great interest in this newly awakened companion. Jirachi, in turn, blinked its large, star-filled eyes, responding kindly to Mew’s kindness. Its small body glowed faintly, appearing pure and flawless.
The tens of millions of viewers in the livestream, barely recovering from the shock of witnessing a miracle, were still buzzing with comments, discussing Jirachi’s mystery, endearing beauty, and incredible healing abilities. Lin Yan remained vigilant, his gaze darting between Jirachi and the golden energy barrier ahead, which still flashed dangerously, pondering his next move.
Jirachi is so cute! She can even repair ruins! Love it!
[Host, what should we do about this barrier? Can Jirachi just remove it?][I feel like now that this little guy has woken up, these ruins aren’t so eerie anymore. They have a purifying aura!][It’s been a thousand years! We’ve actually witnessed history! Host, you are the Chosen One!][Host, please try to get Jirachi to open the barrier and see what’s inside!]Just as the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was getting lively, and Lin Yan was about to try to communicate further with Jirachi to see if it understood the secret of this barrier—
**“Tick…tick…tick…”**
A sudden, heavy and undisguisedly aggressive sound of footsteps broke the silence in the ruins. From the direction of the passage they came from, the sound was clearly heard by everyone and also reached the radio equipment in the live broadcast room.
The footsteps were chaotic and rapid, and there was more than one person!
[Hmm?! What’s that sound?!][Holy crap! Someone’s coming?! Who would come to the S-level restricted area at this time?!][Listen to the footsteps, someone’s coming with bad intentions! Anchor, be careful!][No way, no way? Is it coming for Jirachi?!][Damn it! I knew it! Such a loud noise will definitely attract flies!]The audience in the live broadcast room instantly became nervous, and the tone of the barrage immediately changed from amazement to worry and vigilance.
Lin Yan’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he turned almost instantly, shielding the bewildered Jirachi behind him. His gaze became sharp as a knife, fixed on the shadows at the entrance to the passage. His telepathic resonance ability was fully activated at this moment, capturing the complex thoughts emanating from afar—greed, eagerness, and undisguised malice!
Sure enough, trouble came!
Jirachi seemed to have sensed this negative aura as well, and its small body trembled involuntarily. The soft halo that originally surrounded it dimmed a bit, and it subconsciously shrank behind Lin Yan, its big eyes filled with anxiety and vigilance.
Menghuan also stopped playing around and hovered over Lin Yan’s shoulder. A serious expression appeared on her face as she issued a low warning towards the entrance of the passage: “Meow!!!”
A few seconds later, three figures appeared at the corner of the passage, exposed to the sight of the drone and all the spectators.
The leader was a burly, bald man with a ferocious scar across his face and a fierce look in his eyes. He wore a stained combat vest, his bare arms bulging with muscle, a ruthless character who had lived on the edge of a knife for years. Behind him were two lean men. One had a sinister look in his eyes and a sneer on his lips; the other was relatively silent, but his waist was bulging, clearly concealing a weapon.
Although the equipment they carry is not as good as the military standard, it is also quite sophisticated. It is obvious that they are not ordinary explorers, but more like… bounty hunters or members of illegal organizations that specialize in roaming in restricted areas!
What made Lin Yan and the audience feel the most depressed was that these three people all emitted a faint energy fluctuation. Although it was far not as pure as that of Pokémon, it was obvious that they also had some means of utilizing or controlling energy. They were definitely not ordinary people!
The bald strong man’s eyes were immediately fixed on Jirachi who was hiding behind Lin Yan. His eyes were like a hungry wolf seeing the fattest lamb, full of naked possessiveness and greed!
“Hey…tsk tsk tsk…” The bald man grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and laughed a chilling laugh. “I never thought the legend would be true! The wishing star that awakens once every thousand years… Jirachi! It was actually found by a young boy!”
The sinister man behind him licked his lips and said in a sharp voice, “Boss, it’s a success! This time it’s really a success! Seize it, don’t even mention a mere signal tower, what does the whole world want?!”
The silent man also nodded, with a fanatical glint in his eyes.
[Holy crap! These people are really coming for Jirachi!][Just looking at their faces, I can tell they’re not good people! Their eyes are so scary!][Damn it! What the hell are these bastards trying to do?! Don’t touch my little Jirachi!][Anchor! Protect Jirachi! Kill them!][They also have energy fluctuations? Is this world more than just Pokémon? Are there other systems of supernatural power? The thought is terrifying!]The livestream completely exploded! The audience was shocked and furious! Jirachi had just awakened, pure and innocent, and these people were actually trying to snatch her away. It was simply insane! Countless viewers wanted to rush into the screen to protect Jirachi and beat up these three uninvited guests!
Lin Yan’s face was as gloomy as water. He completely blocked Jirachi behind him and looked at the three people in front of him coldly. His voice was calm, but it was filled with an unquestionable coldness: “You are not welcome here. Leave immediately.”
His tone was calm, yet beneath that calmness, a hint of impending danger loomed. Facing three clearly desperate criminals, he showed no fear, instead emanating a powerful confidence and intimidation. This composure reassured the audience in the livestream, but also startled the three intruders.
“Leave?” The bald man laughed wildly again, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke. “Boy, do you understand the situation? This is the S-level restricted area of the Kunlun Mountains! It’s not your backyard! We can come and go as we please!”
He took a step forward, his fierce aura pressing down like a substance. “If you know what’s good for you, hand that little thing over! We might consider… leaving you with an intact body!”
The sinister man sneered, “Kid, don’t refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit! We in the Black Sand Group have never failed to get what we set our eyes on! Is it worth risking your life for a little thing that doesn’t belong to you?”
Black sand group!
Upon hearing this name, some well-informed viewers in the live broadcast room gasped!
[The Black Sand Group?! Is it that mercenary organization active on the fringes of the restricted areas, specializing in shady activities?!]“I’ve heard of them! They’re ruthless and will do anything for money! They’re also involved in illegal hunting and the trade of banned species!”
[Holy shit! It’s actually this bunch of scumbags! How did they even know Jirachi was here?!][The anchor’s live broadcast must have been exposed! Damn, there are pros and cons!][Anchor! Don’t give Jirachi to them! They’ll definitely use Jirachi for evil!]The audience was even more anxious! The Black Sand Group was notorious for its viciousness. If they fell into their hands, the consequences would be disastrous!
Lin Yan’s eyes grew colder. He knew the preciousness of Jirachi, and he knew even more clearly the horrific disaster that would ensue if this legendary wish-granting Pokémon fell into the hands of the wicked. Not to mention the danger to the signal tower, the entire world order would be overturned!
“I said, leave.” Lin Yan’s voice was firm and unyielding. “Jirachi is not an object, nor is it a tool for you to satisfy your selfish desires. As long as I’m here, you won’t be able to touch it.”
His words were resounding, carrying a kind of awe-inspiring righteousness and absolute determination! This was not only to protect Jirachi, but also to protect a certain bottom line!
The spirit of “I will go forward even if there are thousands of people against me” deeply shocked every audience through the live camera!
[Anchor!!! So cool!!!][Woo woo woo, responsible! This is what a real man is! ][Well said! Jirachi is not a tool! Support the streamer!][Well done, host! Even if you can’t win, don’t give up! ][What a cool look! What a powerful aura! It’s absolutely amazing! Streamer, I’ll be your fan forever!]The audience was completely ignited by Lin Yan’s tough attitude! Many of their previous worries and fears now turned into admiration for Lin Yan and anger towards the villains!
“Looking for death!” The bald man was completely enraged by Lin Yan’s attitude. The scar on his face was twisted, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying. “Since you are shameless, don’t blame us for being ruthless! Brothers, move! Catch that little guy, this kid… cripple him!”
Before he finished speaking, the bald man and the two men behind him simultaneously erupted with powerful energy fluctuations! It was a turbid, violent energy, completely different from Jirachi’s pure energy! The three of them formed a triangular shape and instantly surrounded Lin Yan!
The war is about to begin!
The atmosphere in the ruins’ passageway instantly reached a fever pitch! On one side, the desperate criminals attacked fiercely, while on the other, the young anchor and two mythical Pokémon stood guard with all their might!
Jirachi felt an unprecedented danger, and its small body trembled even more violently. It tightly grasped Lin Yan’s trouser legs, its big eyes filled with fear. Lin Yan could clearly feel its inner panic and helplessness.
“Don’t be afraid.” Lin Yan’s voice was low and gentle, soothing the frightened Jirachi through spiritual resonance, “I am here.”
He kept a wary eye on the approaching enemy while quickly thinking of a countermeasure. There were three of them, all of whom possessed some form of energy manipulation ability. If he fought head-on, even though he had Mew to help him, Jirachi had just awakened and was nearly powerless, and he would need to distract himself from protecting it. His chances of victory were slim.
We must find a way… to break the deadlock!
At this critical moment!
A faint but extremely clear thought suddenly rang in Lin Yan’s mind!
**’I can…grant…a…wish…’**
This thought, like the whisper of the stars spanning thousands of years, came directly from the trembling little figure behind him – Jirachi!
**’But… you can only… choose… one… please… choose… carefully…’**
Lin Yan was shocked!
Jirachi?! It actually conveyed to me at this moment that my wish could be granted?!
A wish!
At this critical moment of life and death, an opportunity to realize any wish suddenly appeared before him!
This is simply… a godsend opportunity to break the deadlock!
However, the four words “choose carefully” echoed in his mind like a warning bell!
He thought of his original goal—to seek the truth and find a way for humans and Pokémon to coexist harmoniously. It was a grand and arduous task. If he could make a wish to directly achieve this goal…was it possible? Could Jirachi’s power truly reach such a level? Would it lead to unknown consequences?
He looked back at the three members of the Black Sand Group, pressing forward with murderous intent. If he wished for their immediate disappearance, or granted himself the power to crush them, the immediate crisis would naturally be resolved. But wouldn’t that be a waste of this once-in-a-millennium opportunity? Furthermore, it would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Even if he dealt with these three, there would still be more covetous ones.
More importantly, is using Jirachi’s power to destroy the enemy really the right choice? Will it go against his original intention of building trust and equal coexistence with Pokémon?
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Yan’s mind like lightning!
This is a huge temptation and also a heavy responsibility!
He took a deep breath and knew he had to make a decision immediately!
The enemy has approached within ten meters. The bald strong man grinned fiercely, and a ball of violent energy has condensed in his hands!
Lin Yan turned his head suddenly and took a look at the drone camera. He knew that the tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room must be as anxious as he was at this moment, holding their breath!
“Everyone!” Lin Yan’s voice, with unprecedented seriousness, spread across the Internet through the live broadcast, “Jirachi has conveyed a message to me.”
“It…can grant me one wish.”
Earth-shattering!
Lin Yan’s words were like pouring a bucket of cold water into a boiling pot of oil! The entire live broadcast room instantly boiled over!
【!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!】
[Holy crap?! Holy crap holy crap?! Make a wish?! Can you really make a wish?!][Oh my god! Streamer! Is this true?! The legend is actually true?!][Quick! Make a wish! Make a wish to make these bad guys explode right where they are! Turn them into ashes!][Yes! Make them disappear! Protect Jirachi!][Wait! I only have one wish! Be careful, host!][Make a wish for super powers! Become a superhero! Shoot them away!]“No, no, no! I should wish for humans and Pokémon to live in harmony immediately! Once and for all!”
[The above is too naive! Such grand aspirations must have limits! Let’s solve the current crisis first!][Make a wish! Make the barrier disappear! Take Jirachi and run away!][Host! Listen to me! Make a wish for Jirachi to be safe forever! And never be found by the bad guys!]The comments were like a flood that burst through a dam, instantly flooding the screen! All kinds of suggestions, requests, exclamations, and concerns poured in like snowflakes!
Some were excited, some were worried, some offered suggestions, and some argued endlessly! At this moment, the hearts of tens of millions of viewers were tied to the decision that Lin Yan was about to make!
One wish determines the life and death of everyone in front of you, determines the fate of Jirachi, and may even… affect the future of this world!
The bald strong man and others also heard Lin Yan’s words. They were stunned at first, and then the greed on their faces became more intense!
“Make a wish?! Hahahaha! It really is the Wishing Star!” the bald man laughed wildly. “Boy! So what if you can make a wish?! Once we catch it, the wish will be ours! Come on!”
The attack is imminent!
Lin Yan’s eyes quickly swept across the madly rolling barrage of bullets, the trembling Jirachi, and the enemies rushing towards him with a grin.
His brain was working at high speed, weighing the pros and cons of every choice, feeling the pure and uneasy thoughts coming from Jirachi.
Improving the relationship between humans and Pokémon… This is his ultimate goal, but it won’t happen overnight, and forcing a wish might backfire.
Eliminate the enemy in front of you… Simple and direct, but it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and it goes against one’s will.
Gaining great power… The temptation is huge, but will the power change you?
Protecting Jirachi’s safety… seems to be the safest option, but simply hiding is not the solution.
Time, only a few seconds left!
Lin Yan’s eyes suddenly became extremely clear, all hesitation and struggle disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented firmness and determination!
He seemed to see the road behind the fog.
He took a deep breath, and at the moment when the bald man’s energy attack was about to be launched, under the gaze of all the spectators, he slowly closed his eyes and transmitted his thoughts to Jirachi behind him with incredible clarity.
He knew what he should wish for…
Chapter 11: The Light of Kindness and the Call of the Deep (Old Version)
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely the moment Lin Yan closed his eyes.
The bald man’s fist, which was condensed with turbid energy and carried a strong wind that tore through the air, was less than half a meter away from Lin Yan’s face!
The two accomplices behind him were also ready to attack, with grim smiles on their faces, as if they would see this ignorant kid bleeding to death in the next second.
In the livestream, the hearts of tens of millions of viewers were in their throats! The comments were almost frozen, with only sporadic exclamations and desperate wails remaining.
【No!!!】
[Anchor!!! Get out of the way!!!][It’s over, it’s over…][Make a wish! Hurry up and make a wish!!!]At this critical moment, between life and death!
Lin Yan’s thoughts, like the purest radio waves, penetrated the barriers of reality and were transmitted with incredible clarity to the little star behind him – Jirachi, who was trembling slightly with fear.
Not destruction, not strength, not escape.
The path he chose was one that was almost naive, yet contained endless courage.
**’Jirachi…’** His inner voice was calm and firm,**’If you can…please fill their hearts…with kindness.’**
There were no complicated sentences, no harsh conditions, only an extremely simple yet extremely heavy request.
Make evil people… turn to good?
This is simply…
**Buzz——!!!**
As if in response to Lin Yan’s earth-shattering wish, Jirachi, who had been curled up in fear, suddenly burst into an unprecedented light!
But this light was not the sacred and majestic platinum light that had appeared when he had awakened before, nor was it the light of destruction that could purify all things.
It’s…soft.
Like the warmest sunshine in early spring, like the most gentle touch of a mother, like the most peaceful starlight in the night sky.
The light was a warm, pale golden color that seemed to be able to melt all the coldness. It was not at all aggressive, but it carried an indescribable power that went straight to the depths of the soul.
The light spread out instantly with Jirachi as the center, like an ever-expanding, warm force field, gently covering the entire passage, and completely enveloping the three members of the Black Sand Group who were in an attacking state!
The bald man’s fist stopped in mid-air, just a few centimeters away from Lin Yan’s nose! The smirk on his face froze instantly, and a fierce gleam in his eyes flashed. But the next second, that fierce gleam seemed to have met its nemesis, and it began to fluctuate violently, struggling, and finally… like ice and snow melting, it slowly faded away!
The sinister man and the silent man behind him were also enveloped by the soft, pale golden light. The weapons and condensed energy in their hands disappeared silently the moment they came into contact with the light, as if they had never existed.
The three men’s bodies remained in attacking postures, but did not move, as if the pause button had been pressed.
The scene in the live broadcast room seemed strange and quiet at this moment.
【？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ 】
【what happened???】
【Time is paused?!】
[No! Light! That light! Jirachi strikes!][This light… feels so warm? I can feel it even through the screen…][Wait! What did the host wish for?! Why is it like this?!][Could it be… that they are unable to move?!]The audience’s minds went blank. What was happening before their eyes was completely beyond their comprehension! The anticipated earth-shattering battle and bloody scenes were completely absent! There was only this incredibly gentle light and three villains standing still, as still as statues!
Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at the fist that was so close to him but had lost all its threat, and saw the expression on the bald man’s face change from ferocious to confused, and then to unbelievable, and his heart was also in turmoil.
He made the right bet!
Jirachi’s power is not limited to destruction or satisfying material desires, it can also… touch the soul!
The light lasted for about ten seconds.
When the pale golden halo slowly receded like the tide and retracted into Jirachi’s small body, the previous light in the passage returned.
But something has completely changed.
The three members of the Black Sand Group were still standing in the same place, but the aura on them had undergone a drastic change.
The beast-like ferocity, greed, and brutality that had been there before vanished without a trace. In its place was a kind of… clarity.
Yes, clear.
It was as if a mirror that had been covered in dust for many years was wiped clean, revealing its original appearance.
The bald strong man was the first to move. He slowly lowered his stiff fists and looked down at his hands. His eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment, and then deep… shame and pain!
“I…what…were we trying to do just now?” His voice was dry and hoarse, trembling with a kind of trembling that even he couldn’t believe.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Yan. His eyes were no longer fierce, but a complex mixture of apology and self-loathing: “I… I just wanted to kill you? To… to snatch…”
His gaze involuntarily turned to the Jirachi behind Lin Yan, who was blinking curiously at them. When his eyes touched Jirachi’s pure and flawless figure, a strong sense of guilt hit him like an electric current!
“Plop!”
The leader of the Black Sand Group, who had just been so ferocious and feared at the edge of the restricted area, suddenly felt his knees go weak and he knelt down without any warning!
He lowered his head and rubbed his face vigorously with his rough palms, whimpering in pain: “We…how could we become like this…greedy…violent…we…we actually wanted to harm such a pure life…we…are not human!”
The two companions behind him also seemed to have just woken up from a dream.
The sneer on the sinister man’s face had long since vanished, replaced by a pale and fearful expression. He muttered to himself, “Power…wealth…are those things…really that important? What…have we done…”
The silent man silently took off the weapon from his waist and threw it on the ground with a crisp sound, as if he was completely breaking away from his past self.
This scene was clearly transmitted to the eyes of every audience through the drone lens!
The entire live broadcast room fell into deathly silence!
Tens of millions of viewers seemed to be collectively speechless!
The barrage has stagnated!
Everyone opened their eyes and mouths wide, as if they had seen a miracle happen!
What…what is going on?!
How come the desperado who was about to be beaten and killed just now suddenly started to repent?! He even knelt down to apologize?!
This is ten thousand times more shocking than just blowing them up!!!
【………………】
【I…what the hell did I see? 】
[(Rubbing eyes) Am I hallucinating? ][The Black…Black Sand Group leader…knelt down?! And cried?!][This plot…my CPU is going to burn out!!!][Wait! I remember! The host closed his eyes! He made a wish! Could it be… could it be that his wish was…?][Holy shit!!!!!! No way!?!][Turning evil people… into good?! Can such a wish be granted?! Jirachi is awesome!!! (crackling voice)][This…this is simply…a divine operation! ! !]After the silence, there was a complete boiling like a volcanic eruption!
The barrage of comments flooded the screen like a tsunami! Countless “Wow,” “666,” “???,” “!!!,” “Miracle,” and “Awesome host” instantly flooded the screen, and the server seemed to tremble!
If Lin Yan’s calmness and toughness had won respect before, then at this moment, his seemingly “saintly” but extremely powerful wish, and the incredible power that Jirachi displayed that went straight to the soul, completely broke through the psychological defenses of all the audience!
Shocking! Incomparable shock!
This is no longer just a simple livestream adventure; this is witnessing a miracle! Witnessing a force beyond common sense, a force powerful enough to change people’s hearts!
Lin Yan looked at the bald strong man crying bitterly in front of him, and the other two people who were also deeply remorseful, and his heart was filled with emotion.
He didn’t accuse them condescendingly, nor did he show off smugly. He simply looked at them calmly, then turned his gaze to Jirachi behind him.
Jirachi seemed to have consumed a lot of energy, and its light was a little dim, but its big eyes were still bright. It felt Lin Yan’s gaze, tilted its little head, and let out a soft cry with a hint of doubt and a hint of asking for credit: “Qi~?”
Lin Yan gave it a gentle smile, and conveyed his most sincere gratitude through the resonance of his heart: “Thank you, Jirachi, you did a great job.”
Jirachi seemed very happy to get Lin Yan’s affirmation. His small body became brighter and he rubbed Lin Yan’s trouser leg affectionately.
Menghuan also flew to the three distraught people out of curiosity, tilted her head and looked at them, as if to confirm whether they were really no longer a threat.
“We…we were wrong…” The bald man raised his tear-stained face, his voice choked with sobs, yet with an unprecedented sincerity, “This…this little brother, and…the sacred Lord Jirachi…please forgive our sins!”
“We are willing to accept any punishment!” The sinister man also lowered his head.
“I only ask… that you give us a chance to atone for our sins.” The silent man added, his eyes full of pleading.
Lin Yan looked at them and pondered for a moment.
He knew that Jirachi’s power wasn’t permanent brainwashing, but rather a powerful empathy and awakening, allowing them to temporarily break free from the blinding influence of greed and violence, and see the conscience deep within themselves, perhaps long forgotten. He didn’t know how long this change would last. But at least for this moment, they were sincere.
“The mistakes of the past have already been made,” Lin Yan said slowly, his voice clearly transmitted to the three people and the live broadcast room. “Punishment is not the goal. What matters is the choice of the future.”
He glanced at the three of them. “If you truly repent, then prove it with your actions. The Kunlun Forbidden Zone is fraught with danger, and the world outside is far from peaceful. If you wish, you can use your experience familiar with the Forbidden Zone to help those in need and protect this land, rather than plundering and destroying it.”
These words, without judgment, are more than judgment. They point out a path to atonement.
The three of them were shocked when they heard this! Their eyes were confused at first, but then they lit up with hope!
“Can we…can we?” asked the bald strong man excitedly.
“The road is under your feet.” Lin Yan said lightly.
“We understand!” The bald man stood up suddenly and bowed deeply to Lin Yan. “From now on, we are the ‘Black Sand Group’… No, we are no longer the Black Sand Group! We are willing to stay here and guard the entrance to these ruins to prevent other people with bad intentions from approaching! Until… until we feel we can truly atone for our sins!”
“Yes! We will guard this place!” The other two immediately agreed, their eyes extremely determined.
【!!! Holy crap! A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold!】
[This anchor is so impressive… he’s winning without even fighting! And he even hired three bodyguards?!][This is the true strength! Using kindness to resolve crises! ][I declare that from today on, anchor is my belief! ][Wow, this is so touching! This is much more interesting than fighting and killing!][(Silently rewarding) Anchor, you deserve it! ]The audience in the live broadcast room was once again impressed by Lin Yan’s operation and magnanimity! The barrage was full of admiration and praise, and the special effects of the reward were like fireworks!
The crisis was completely resolved in a way that no one expected.
At this moment, the system’s cold and mechanical prompt sounded in Lin Yan’s mind:
**[Ding! The Mythical Pokémon—Jirachi, preliminary secrets revealed! 】**
**[Jirachi: Steel/Psychic-type, a mythical Pokémon known as the “Wishing Star.” It awakens for seven days every thousand years, possessing the mysterious power to grant wishes. Its awakening is closely tied to the trajectory of the Millennium Comet. Special Abilities: Serene Grace, Healing Power, Telepathy, Wish Granting (with significant limitations and cost).]**
**[Revelation Rating: S-Rank (First discovery and successful interaction, peaceful resolution of potential conflict, and demonstration of Jirachi’s special abilities)]**
**[Rewards: 100,000 Secret Points! 1 Mystical Gem (Special Ability: Star Wish)! 1 Brief Interaction with a Legendary/Mythical Pokémon (Bound to Jirachi)!]**
Rich! Richer than ever before!
One hundred thousand secret points! This is definitely a huge sum! Enough to redeem a ton of rare items!
Mysterious Gem (Special Ability: Star Wish)? Lin Yan’s mind flickered, and a fingernail-sized deep blue gem appeared in his hand. It was like a concentrated starry sky, with countless stardust flowing inside, emitting faint but pure energy fluctuations.
**[Mystical Gem (Special Ability: Star Wish): This unique gem contains the power of Jirachi’s original star. It slightly increases the power or effectiveness of a specific Pokémon’s special ability related to “spirit,” “wish,” or “light.” Single-use consumable item.**
Improve special abilities! This is absolutely superb! Whether it’s for Mew or Jirachi, it can bring significant improvements!
As for that last… brief opportunity to communicate with Jirachi? Lin Yan glanced at the little creature nuzzling against him. It seemed the system had determined that the wish communication just now wasn’t truly “communication.” Perhaps this opportunity would allow him to gain a deeper understanding of Jirachi, or even… perhaps even understand some of the secrets of this world?
[One hundred thousand points! Holy crap! The streamer gave it away!][S-rank rating! Awesome!][Star Wish Gem! The name sounds impressive! Use it on Jirachi!]Chatting with Jirachi? I’m so jealous! Go ask it if I can make another wish! (Doghead)
[Host! Come and see what goodies you can exchange for!]The audience was even more excited than Lin Yan and urged him to check the redemption list.
Lin Yan’s mind flashed as he opened the system store. A dazzling array of items appeared before him. He quickly scanned the list and quickly locked onto two items he had long coveted.
**[Calm Bell: A crisp and melodious bell. Pokémon carrying this bell are more likely to build a deep and trusting relationship with their trainer, significantly increasing the speed of their intimacy. Exchange points: 15,000 points.]**
**[Power Wristband: A sturdy wristband that holds the power to unleash potential, slightly increasing the power of the Pokémon’s physical and special attacks. Exchange Points: 20,000.]**
Both of these are extremely useful training items! The Soothing Bell can accelerate the development of his relationship with Mew and Jirachi, and the effect of telepathy will be even better. The Strength Wristband can directly increase Mew’s combat power!
Without hesitation, Lin Yan directly chose to exchange!
As the revelation points were deducted, an exquisite silver bell and a powerful black wristband appeared in his hands.
“Miya?” Menghuan looked at the two new things curiously.
Lin Yan smiled faintly and gently tied the soothing bell to Huanhuan’s wrist. The bell rang with a clear and pleasant sound. Huanhuan seemed to like it very much, shaking her wrist happily. Then, he handed Huanhuan the power wristband. Huanhuan understood and put it on her other wrist. She could clearly feel a faint power flowing through her body.
Chapter 12: Heading into the Deep Sea! (Old Version)
As for Jirachi, it had just awakened and had consumed a large amount of energy to fulfill its wishes, so it was not suitable for using the Star Wish Gem at the moment. Lin Yan decided to let it rest and recover first.
[Wow! Soothing Bell! Dream is even cuter!][Strength Wristband! Fantasy output is about to explode! ][The host is such a good trainer, he gives all his rewards to Pokémon first!]Where to go next? Deep in the ruins? The barrier isn’t broken yet!
The audience’s curiosity was reignited. The crisis was over, the reward had been claimed, so what was next? Continue exploring the ruins, or…?
Lin Yan looked at the golden energy barrier in front of him that was still flashing with dangerous arcs, and then looked at Jirachi who needed to rest and Mew who had just been strengthened.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded again:
**[Ding! Detected that the host has completed the initial exploration of the S-level restricted area and successfully revealed the mythical Pokémon Jirachi. 】**
**[Based on analysis of current world energy tides and signs of Pokémon activity, we recommend the next high-value target area for uncovering secrets: the Endless Blue Sea near the Mariana Trench! ]**
**[Area Danger Level: SSS (Extremely Dangerous)]**
**[Potential target for revelation: Kyogre, the legendary Pokémon suspected of sleeping in the abyss of the sea and controlling the endless power of the ocean! 】**
Kyogre!!!
When these three words appeared in Lin Yan’s mind and were heard by the audience in the live broadcast room through his low whisper, the entire network seemed to pause for a second!
Kyogre?! That legendary Pokémon said to be able to expand the oceans and compete with Groudon for control of the land?!
【!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kyogre!!!!!!!!!】
“Did I hear that right?! Is that the Kyogre I was thinking of?! The God of the Ocean?! “
Is the system crazy or is the streamer crazy?! Just finished Jirachi and now he’s going after Kyogre?!
[SSS-level danger zone! The Mariana Trench?! That’s the deepest part of the Earth!][Anchor! Calm down! Think again! This is no joke!][Go! I have to go! I want to see Kyogre!!! (Although I’m worried something might happen to the host)][From the peak of Kunlun Mountain to the ten thousand meter deep sea! This span is too big! ]The livestream was abuzz! If Jirachi symbolized mystery and wonder, then Kyogre represented pure, earth-shattering power! Going to find Kyogre? This was a realm where mortals challenged the gods!
Lin Yan’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster!
Kyogre…
He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart. The information provided by the system was definitely not groundless. This world was far more magnificent than he had imagined!
The secrets deep within the ruins were certainly tempting, but compared to the possible existence of Kyogre, they clearly took a lower priority. Furthermore, Jirachi needed to rest, and forcing her way through the barrier wasn’t a wise move.
His gaze grew firm.
“It seems that our next stop is the sea of stars.” Lin Yan faced the camera with a smile full of confidence and adventurous spirit.
He began to check his backpack, pulling out the high-performance diving suit and portable oxygen system he had prepared long ago, just in case. These equipment had originally been prepared for crossing some underground rivers or lakes, but he hadn’t expected… now he would have to face the real deep sea!
[Is the anchor serious?! Is he really going?!][Awesome! So cool! Such action!]My youth is back! Is the Age of Discovery coming?! (Pokémon Version)
I’m already looking forward to the Deep Sea Live! Will there be any unique ocean Pokémon?
[Host! Stay safe! The deep sea is different from the land!][Let’s do it! Brothers! Next stop, the endless blue ocean! Witness Kyogre!]The audience’s emotions quickly transformed from initial shock and worry to unparalleled anticipation and excitement! Every choice Lin Yan made was constantly refreshing their cognition, leading them to witness one miracle after another!
Lin Yan donned his diving gear and began adjusting it. Menghuan flew around him curiously, intrigued by his new outfit. Jirachi was carefully cradled in Lin Yan’s arms, wrapped in a soft cloth. The little creature seemed exhausted, having already closed its eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.
The three “former” members of the Black Sand Group stood respectfully aside, saying that they would guard the place and wait for Lin Yan’s return.
Lin Yan took one last look at the ancient ruins and the shimmering golden barrier, a hint of inquiry in his eyes. He would return sooner or later to uncover the secrets here.
But now…
He turned around and looked in the direction he came from, which seemed to be connected to the entrance to the endless deep blue.
“Dream, let’s go.”
“Miyo!”
Each person has a dream. Holding the sleeping wishing star, with the guidance of the system, with new power and fearless courage, they embark on a new journey towards the mysterious deep sea!
The camera in the live broadcast room followed his back. The sunlight poured down from the entrance of the passage, as if he was covered with a layer of golden armor.
A new adventure is about to begin! What thrilling secrets are hidden beneath the unknown deep blue? Is the legendary Kyogre really sleeping in the abyss ten thousand meters deep?
All the audience’s hearts followed Lin Yan’s footsteps and flew to the land full of endless possibilities——
Endless blue ocean!
Chapter 13: Endless Blue Ocean, Prelude to the Abyss (Old Version)
The biting cold wind from the Kunlun Mountains seemed to still linger on the tip of my nose, but the scene before my eyes was completely different.
East China Sea coast.
The salty sea breeze blew in my face, carrying with it the vast and humid air of the ocean. The waves tirelessly pounded against the rocks and sand, stirring up piles of snow-white foam before slowly receding with a gurgling sound like the unchanging breath of time.
The sky was a clear blue, blending into the boundless sea in the distance, blurring the line. Sunlight shone on the shimmering water, reflecting off millions of tiny golden dots, making it difficult to open your eyes.
Lin Yan stood on a massive black reef, the sea breeze ruffling his hair and rustling the hems of his clothes. Behind him lay the receding outline of land; before him lay the mysterious, deep ocean that swallowed up all light.
“Miyo~”
Dream floated lightly beside him, curiously examining this environment, completely different from the Kunlun Mountains. Its small body was almost transparent in the sunlight, appearing exceptionally pure. In Lin Yan’s arms, Jirachi, wrapped in a special thermal fabric, remained asleep, breathing steadily, as if gathering strength for the next awakening.
The drone hovered in the air, faithfully transmitting the magnificent sight of the sea and sky merging into one, as well as Lin Yan’s sculpture-like figure standing on the reef, to the eyes of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of viewers around the world.
[Wow! The ocean! The host is really at the beach!][From the top of the snowy mountain to the shore of the blue sea, this speed is too fast! ]“Looking at this ocean view makes me feel so much better! So… is Kyogre really down there?”
[Hiss… My scalp tingles when I think there might be a sea god hiding down there!][The host’s figure, standing on the reef, with this background, is simply a painting! ][So cool! So cool! Such aura, wow!]After a brief moment of exclamation, the comments in the live broadcast room were quickly filled with curiosity and nervousness about “Kyogre”.
Lin Yan took a deep breath, feeling the pulse of the ocean, then slowly turned around and faced the drone’s camera. His eyes were calm, yet they held an indescribable sharpness and a yearning for the unknown.
“Dear audience,” his voice came through the live broadcast equipment clearly, with a strange calm power, “Before we officially begin this deep-sea exploration, I think it’s necessary to talk to everyone about our upcoming target – the Legendary Pokémon, Kyogre.”
When the word “Kyogre” was heard, the live broadcast room suddenly became quiet for a moment. Everyone pricked up their ears, and even the barrage of comments became much sparser, for fear of missing any information.
Lin Yan’s gaze seemed to penetrate the screen, gazing at every viewer. “According to what I currently know, from ancient legends and information unlocked by the system, Kyogre is no ordinary marine creature. It can’t even be described simply as ‘powerful.'”
He paused, as if he was organizing his words, or as if he was recalling those shocking records.
“According to legend, Kyogre is the creator and embodiment of the primordial ocean. He possesses the power to control all water elements in the world – rainfall, floods, ocean currents, tsunamis… all at his will.”
“It can bring sweet rain that nourishes all things and brings new life to the dry earth, but it can also create huge waves that are enough to submerge the land and bring devastating disasters.” Lin Yan’s voice was not loud, but it carried a heavy feeling like telling an epic myth.
“It is the concrete embodiment of the ocean’s will.”
These few words exploded in the minds of all the audience like thunder!
Creator? Controlling all water elements? The embodiment of the ocean’s will?
This… this was completely beyond their understanding of “Pokémon”! This was simply the mythical creator god!
“Creator?! Did I hear that right?!”
[Holy crap! Controlling all water?! This is a million times more awesome than a weather controller!][Ocean Will… This setting is too terrifying, isn’t it?! Is the host really going to provoke such a being?!][I…my legs are weak…I feel suffocated just by listening to it!][No wonder it’s an SSS-level restricted area! This isn’t a place humans can enter, right?!]Wait! I remember mentioning Groudon before? Is it a similar legendary Pokémon?
The audience was completely captivated by Kyogre’s legend! The comments were like a floodgate, filled with shock, fear, and a hint of uncontrollable excitement! They felt like they were touching upon the highest secrets of this world!
Lin Yan noticed the comments and continued without pause, “Indeed, as some viewers have noted, Kyogre isn’t the only one. Legend has it that there’s another being who corresponds to him—Groudon, the creator of the earth.”
“In ancient times, Kyogre and Groudon fought a protracted, nearly catastrophic battle for natural energy. As a result of that battle, the oceans expanded, the land masses spread, and the entire world’s environment fell into extreme chaos and on the brink of collapse.”
“In the end…” Lin Yan’s tone was filled with a hint of awe, “It was another legendary being, the Overlord of the Sky—Rayquaza, who descended from the clouds and quelled the conflict between the two primordial gods with his absolute power, restoring order to the world.”
Kyogre! Groudon! Rayquaza!
These three godlike names, through Lin Yan’s narration, were clearly imprinted in the hearts of every audience member! They seemed to behold a picture of the destruction of the world from ancient times: the ocean roared, the earth cracked, and the dragon in the sky overlooked everything!
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was extremely solemn!
[Kyogre…Groudon…Rayquaza…Oh my god! How many secrets does this world hold?!][The primordial ocean, the primordial earth, the overlord of the sky… this is simply a fight between gods! ][I suddenly feel that the flame-tailed monkeys and crystal-horned deer from before are simply child’s play…][Host! Tell me now that you’re just here for a beach vacation, there’s still time!][(Trembling) I feel like my worldview is about to be reshaped! ][I’m scared, but…but…I really want to see it!!! What should I do?!]Shocking! An unprecedented shock!
Lin Yan calmly stared at the camera, taking in the audience’s reactions. This was exactly the effect he wanted. To make everyone understand the magnitude of the force they were about to face. This live broadcast was no joke!
“So,” Lin Yan concluded, “Kyogre is a being worthy of all of our respect. Our goal this time is to ‘reveal’ his secrets, to observe him, and to attempt to make contact with this ocean god while ensuring our own safety, not to provoke or conquer him.”
His tone was extremely serious, speaking to the audience as well as reminding himself.
“Okay, that’s enough background information.” Lin Yan changed the subject, a confident smile on his face, “Next, let’s get ready to go!”
As he spoke, his mind moved, and the equipment in his backpack, shining with the luster of high technology, appeared out of thin air on the reef.
It was a diving suit, a deep sea blue adorned with silver streamlined lines. The material appeared both light and durable, with tiny energy nodes flickering at the joints. The helmet was a full-coverage helmet, its visor a faint golden hue, its internal structure intricate and complex. Additionally, there were external auxiliary equipment and a specially modified live broadcast ball capable of withstanding ultra-high water pressure and deep-sea signal transmission.
【!!! It’s here! The host’s new equipment!】
[Holy crap! This diving suit is so cool! System-made, it must be top-notch!][This technology feels even more impressive than the world’s most advanced submersibles!][Golden mask! Isn’t this the symbol of a boss?!][Anchor! Can this equipment withstand the water pressure of the Mariana Trench?]Lin Yan picked up the diving suit and put it on with deft, swift movements. Every movement was precise, without a single sluggish movement, as if he’d practiced it a thousand times. The zipper closed automatically with a gentle click, and the energy nodes at the joints glowed softly. The suit fit his figure perfectly, making him look like a futuristic warrior about to embark on an unknown battlefield.
“Don’t worry,” Lin Yan answered the barrage of questions while adjusting the communication and life support systems in his helmet. His voice, processed by the equipment, took on a calm electronic tone. “This ‘Deep Sea Walker’ diving system is a top-notch product from the system mall. Theoretically, it’s enough to withstand the environmental pressure at the deepest part of the Mariana Trench. It also has built-in oxygen circulation, temperature regulation, and a certain degree of energy protection.”
“As for the live broadcast signal…” He picked up the small live broadcast ball and showed it to the camera. “The specially designed deep-sea quantum signal transmitter should be able to ensure the continuity of the live broadcast as long as we don’t encounter an area of extremely strong energy interference.”
Every word he explained revealed his strong confidence and thorough preparation, which invisibly enhanced his “prestige” again and made the worried audience feel a little more at ease.
“Meow!” Menghuan curiously flew around Lin Yan, who was fully equipped, twice, and stretched out his little hand to poke the smooth surface of the diving suit.
Lin Yan gave Huanhuan a reassuring smile through his golden mask, and their minds resonated instantly. “Huanhuan, I’m counting on you from now on. The light in the deep sea is very dim, and you’ll need your super powers to illuminate it. Also, be careful of any dangerous creatures that may exist.”
“Meow~!” Huanhuan nodded vigorously, with a serious look on his little face, indicating that it was up to him.
Lin Yan carefully placed the sleeping Jirachi in a specially made transparent protective chamber with constant temperature and protective functions on the chest of the diving suit to ensure the safety of the little guy.
Lin Yan took one last look at the sunny sea, then turned around and faced the deep, dark sea.
“Well, everyone…” His voice was filled with a hint of uncontrollable excitement, “our deep-sea journey has officially begun!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped into the cold sea water silently like a nimble fish, leaving only a circle of small ripples on the sea surface.
The live broadcast ball followed closely behind and dived in together.
Chapter 14: The Divine Beast in the Deep Sea! (Old Version)
【!!! It’s started! It’s started!】
[The anchor jumped down! What a cool move!][Deep Sea! Here I come! (Although it’s in front of the screen)][Bless the anchor! I hope you come back safely!][Come on, Dream! Protect the host and Jirachi!]My heart is about to burst! I’m looking forward to it! I’m so looking forward to it!
The live broadcast screen switched instantly.
The sea surface that was sunny just now has now been replaced by a sinking blue.
Sunlight filters through the water, being refracted and scattered, forming flickering specks of light. As the dive deepens, these specks of light grow dimmer, and the surrounding blue deepens, gradually transitioning from sky blue and azure to deep blue and indigo.
Gurgle…
The faint sound of bubbles escaping from the diving suit was the only audible sound.
silence.
Deep silence.
It was as if the entire world had been stripped of sound, leaving only the boundless blue and the ever-increasing icy water pressure.
“We are diving,” Lin Yan’s voice broke the silence. His tone remained steady, without a trace of nervousness. “The current depth is about fifty meters. The light is beginning to fade significantly. The water pressure is about six standard atmospheres. An ordinary person without training and protection would feel extremely uncomfortable.”
His timely popular science speech relieved the audience’s slight sense of depression when facing the unknown deep sea.
“Meow~”
At that moment, a gentle chirp echoed. Dreamy’s tiny body emanated a soft pink light, like a small, moving sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating the area about ten meters ahead.
Illuminated by this pink light, the audience got their first clear look at Lin Yan, wrapped in his diving suit. His posture was steady, as if he were walking on flat ground. Through his golden mask, his eyes scanned his surroundings sharply.
Wow! This Dreamy searchlight works so well!
[The pink light feels so dreamy, not so scary anymore!][The anchor is so stable! His mental quality is amazing!]Am I the only one who noticed that the streamer’s diving posture is like walking? Is this the boss?
[Fifty meters is already six atmospheres of pressure? I can’t even imagine ten thousand meters…]As we continued to dive, the surrounding scenery began to become fantastic.
The sun had almost completely disappeared, and the world was plunged into pure darkness. Only the dreamlike light and the occasional faint flicker of light from the depths of the darkness proved that there was still life here.
Those faint lights came from some strange-looking deep-sea creatures.
A strange fish with a slender body like a black ribbon, with a small lantern emitting faint blue light on its head, swayed as it swam from the edge of the light range.
A group of small creatures like transparent jellyfish, with star-like luminous organs in their bodies, float slowly with the water flow, like a flowing starry sky.
There are also some nameless, strange-looking crustaceans and mollusks that flash by the edge of the light, full of mystery and unknown.
“See? These are the ‘inhabitants’ of the deep sea.” Lin Yan’s voice was filled with a hint of wonder. “For example, the one with the lantern is probably a close relative of the anglerfish. They use their own light source to lure prey or attract mates. Those jellyfish-like ones are probably comb jellies. Their phosphorescence is very beautiful.”
“The deep-sea environment is extreme, with high pressure, darkness, low temperatures, and a lack of food. Life here has evolved unique ways of survival, many of which are unimaginable to us terrestrial creatures.”
Lin Yan’s popular science education is like lighting a lamp of knowledge in the darkness, allowing the audience to marvel at the wonders of the deep sea while gaining a deeper understanding of this mysterious world.
[Holy crap! That fish with the lantern is so cool! And kind of scary!]Those glowing jellyfish are so beautiful! They look like the Milky Way!
[The host knows so much! He’s like a walking encyclopedia!][Is this… a miracle of life? In such a harsh environment…][Suddenly, I feel that humans are so insignificant…]At this moment, a strange fish about half a meter long, with sharp teeth and a dark red body, seemed to be attracted by the dreamy light. It suddenly jumped out from the darkness and rushed towards Lin Yan!
It was extremely fast, leaving a trail of afterimage in the water!
The audience in the live broadcast room felt a tightness in their hearts!
【!!careful!!】
[Oh shit! Something’s attacking!]However, Lin Yan didn’t even change his movements.
A dreamy little figure instantly stood in front of Lin Yan, with a hint of displeasure flashing in its pink eyes.
“Meow!”
With a light shout, an invisible mental barrier instantly opened!
The ferocious dark red fish seemed to have hit an invisible wall. With a dull “bang”, it was bounced away, rolling dizzily and disappearing into the darkness.
The whole process was quick and agile, extremely fast!
【!!! Fantasy and awesome!!! (crackling)】
[Instant kill! Is this the power of a mythical Pokémon?!][I was so scared just now! Well done, Menghuan!][The host didn’t even move. With Menghuan around, she felt completely safe!][How much energy is contained in this tiny body! ]Lin Yan, through telepathy, conveyed a hint of approval to Huanhuan. Huanhuan shook her head proudly and continued to diligently provide lighting and security.
Dive down, keep diving down.
The numbers on the depth gauge kept jumping: 300 meters… 500 meters… 800 meters… 1,000 meters…
The darkness around me grew thicker and thicker, like insoluble ink. The dreamy light could only illuminate a limited area; beyond that, there was endless, heart-pounding darkness.
The water pressure has reached a terrifying value. Even the specially made diving suit makes an extremely slight “creaking” sound, which is the result of metal and composite materials bearing extreme pressure.
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room became more and more solemn as the depth increased. There were fewer comments and everyone held their breath, staring at the screen without blinking, as if they were also in that suffocating deep sea.
At this moment, Lin Yan, who had been diving at a constant speed, suddenly stopped.
He was suspended in endless darkness and coldness, like a lost star.
“What’s wrong? Anchor?”
“Is there something wrong with the equipment?”
“Are you in any danger?”
The audience’s hearts instantly rose to their throats.
Lin Yan didn’t answer immediately. He closed his eyes, as if trying to perceive something with all his strength.
Dream also stopped playing and floated quietly beside him, her pink eyes scanning the surrounding darkness vigilantly, her small body slightly tense.
Through the resonance of their hearts, a wave of energy, vague yet vast and majestic, as unfathomable as the ocean, came from somewhere far below like a tide, gently touching their perceptions.
This fluctuation… is ancient, vast, full of primitive vitality, and… an indescribable majesty!
Lin Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and the pupils under the golden mask suddenly contracted!
His heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably!
Excitement! Nervousness! And a touch of awe that comes from the instinct of life!
“This feeling…” Lin Yan’s voice trembled slightly, yet was filled with utmost certainty. It slowly rang out, echoing in the abyss of dead silence, and clearly reaching the ears of every audience member.
“It can’t be wrong…”
“We… may be approaching Kyogre’s territory!”
As soon as the words fell, the live broadcast room fell silent!
The next second, there was a complete and turbulent uproar!
Close?! So fast?!
Is the legendary God of the Ocean really sleeping in this bottomless darkness?!
Everyone’s heart was gripped tightly by this sudden news! Anticipation and fear intertwined, making it almost impossible for them to breathe!
Under the live camera, Lin Yan’s gaze penetrated the darkness and looked towards the deeper place below where the energy came from.
Chapter 15: Kyogre shows up! Everyone is shocked! (Old version)
This moment.
The torrent of comments in the live broadcast room was like a tsunami, almost completely submerging the screen!
[!!! Is it getting closer?! Oh my god! Oh my god! Is this really going to happen?! The legendary Kyogre?!][My, my, my… my heart is about to stop! Streamer! Are you sure?! That’s an SSS-level existence!][Just sensing the energy is terrifying, what will it look like when its true form appears?!][Here it comes! The big one is coming! Quick-acting heart pills, oxygen cylinders, and tranquilizers are for sale in the front row!][This is no longer just watching a live broadcast, this is witnessing a myth!][Anchor! Stay calm! The hope of our entire village… no, the hope of the entire internet rests on you!][(Put your hands together) Pray for peace! Pray for success! Don’t anger it!]Boiling! Extreme boiling!
At this moment, the breathing of hundreds of millions of viewers seemed to be strangled by the invisible pressure from the deep sea!
They stared at the screen intently, their pupils dilated with excitement and fear, afraid to miss any picture or any sound!
In the deep sea, Lin Yan’s floating figure was like the eye of a storm, becoming the center of this boiling emotion.
Beneath the golden mask, his expression was more solemn than ever before, but deep within his eyes, a more blazing light burned! It was curiosity about the unknown, a quest for power, and the excitement of being the revealer!
“Everyone, stay calm.” Lin Yan’s voice, transmitted clearly and steadily throughout the live broadcast room via the quantum signal transmitter, seemed to carry a strange magical power, forcibly suppressing the audience’s excitement that was about to overflow the screen. “The closer we get to the target, the more cautious we must be.”
His gaze, like the most sophisticated detector, scanned the dark abyss below, where the energy fluctuations were becoming increasingly clear. That ancient, majestic energy was no longer the faint tide it had been before, but like a slowly awakening heartbeat, each beat creating a subtle yet undeniable rhythm in the surrounding waters.
“Dream.” Lin Yan transmitted instructions to his companions through telepathic resonance, “Constrain some of the light, strengthen vigilance, and continue to dive, slowing down.”
“Meow~!” Huanhuan understood immediately. The soft pink light on her body shrank slightly and became less dazzling, but her small body became more tense. Her big eyes looked around vigilantly, and her invisible mental power spread out quietly like a spider web, sensing any abnormality.
Lin Yan adjusted his posture and continued to sink slowly towards the source of energy like a weightless feather.
One thousand one hundred meters…
One thousand two hundred meters…
One thousand five hundred meters…
Every beat of the depth chart tugs at the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers.
The darkness around him had become as thick as substance. The dreamlike light, now condensed, could only illuminate a radius of less than five meters. Beyond that, there was pure nothingness, capable of swallowing all light.
The water pressure had reached an unimaginable level. Beneath the streamlined silver lines of the Deepsea Walker diving suit, tiny energy nodes flickered, emitting a barely audible humming sound as the energy protection system fought with all its might against the terrifying external pressure.
The comments in the livestream room had become sparser compared to the previous outburst. It wasn’t that people had lost their enthusiasm, but rather that an invisible pressure seemed to be transmitted through the screen, causing everyone to subconsciously hold their breath, their hearts rising higher and higher as Lin Yan dived.
Without any warning!
“!!!”
The sea water in front of Lin Yan, as well as the sea water within dozens of meters around him, suddenly rolled and stirred violently!
It wasn’t a natural current, nor was it an undercurrent! It was a terrifying surge… as if some invisible and massive entity had suddenly turned over in the darkness!
The currents became violent and chaotic, sweeping up countless tiny pieces of seabed sediment, forming a turbid vortex that instantly obscured vision! The dreamlike light was distorted and scattered in this turbidity, leaving only a chaotic mess of light and shadow!
“Crash–Boom–“
The dull and terrifying sound of water crashing was faintly transmitted to Lin Yan’s ears even through the thick diving suit and cold sea water, and was clearly transmitted to every audience through the live broadcast equipment!
【!!! Holy shit! What the hell is going on?!】
Water! The water is rioting! What’s happening?!
[Earthquake?! Undersea volcano eruption?!][No! No! This feels like… something! Something huge is moving!][Host! Host! How are you?! Speak up!][Dreamlike! Protect the anchor!][It’s over! Did we alarm it?! Is it coming?!]The live broadcast screen shook violently, as if it would be interrupted in the next second!
The audience’s hearts instantly jumped into their throats! Countless people subconsciously clutched whatever was at hand, leaning forward and staring intently at the muddy and chaotic scene!
“Hold on!” Lin Yan’s voice rang out again, still maintaining his amazing composure, even with a hint of barely perceptible excitement! “This isn’t a natural phenomenon! This power… it’s coming!”
Almost at the moment he finished speaking!
An overwhelming and terrifying force, like an invisible giant hand, suddenly grasped the surrounding seawater! The turbulent currents that had been raging just a moment ago strangely calmed down in an instant!
But this calm is more suffocating than the previous chaos!
Because, behind the slowly settling murky dust, in the deepest depths of the endless darkness…
An unimaginably huge outline, like a mountain range awakening from eternal slumber, slowly “rose” from below!
It’s so big!
It was so big that even if Dream turned the light to its maximum, it could only barely illuminate a small part of its body!
That outline was blurry and hazy, yet it carried a soul-stirring sense of oppression! It was as if the entire weight of the deep ocean was concentrated on it!
As it approached, the ancient, vast, and majestic energy fluctuations swept over like a tsunami. It was no longer the “touch” before, but an almost tangible impact!
Lin Yan felt as if his soul had been thrown into a boundless sea of stars, as small as a speck of dust! The energy shield of the Deep Sea Walker flickered violently, emitting a piercing alarm!
“Meow!!!” A pink glow blazed across Dream’s body, and its telekinetic barrier instantly expanded to its limit, firmly protecting Lin Yan and itself. However, its tiny body was trembling slightly! Even a phantom Pokémon felt an unprecedented pressure from this powerful aura!
The live broadcast room has completely lost its voice!
Barrage?
The barrage had disappeared! It wasn’t that no one was posting, but the barrage system seemed to have experienced a brief freeze and blanking due to the sudden, incomprehensible image and pressure!
All the audience, no matter where they were or what they were doing, had only one action at this moment – their eyes widened, their mouths opened, their minds went blank, and their souls seemed to be frightened by the huge shadow slowly emerging from the darkness!
Here we come!
It’s really here!
That existence only exists in legends and is hailed as the creator and incarnation of the ocean!
Lin Yan’s heart was beating like a drum! Blood rushed through his veins, making a sound like the tide! But his clenched fist remained steady! His eyes, through the golden mask, were fixed on the gradually clearing outline!
He knew that a historic moment was about to come!
The turbid sea water gradually settled, or rather, it was repelled by the invisible aura of the giant shadow!
finally……
Under the pink light that Dreamy tried its best to emit, the despairingly huge figure revealed its true appearance!
It was a blue that was extremely deep, like deep sea water that had condensed for billions of years, purer and deeper than the surrounding darkness!
Its body, with its sleek lines and powerful presence, resembles a super submarine from mythical times, yet brimming with the rhythm of life! Its sheer size completely transcends the bounds of biology; the portion visible to the camera alone is already as large as a small hill!
The most striking thing was the bizarre red stripes on its sides, forehead, and jaw, like those formed by cooling magma! Against the backdrop of its deep blue skin, these red stripes seemed to contain some ancient and fiery energy, slowly flowing and flickering, exuding a heart-pounding majesty!
The huge fins are like oars, and every slight swing drives unimaginable water flow.
And its eyes…
When those eyes, like two lighthouses in the deep sea, slowly opened and focused on Lin Yan and Menghuan…
The whole world seemed to freeze!
What a pair of eyes those are!
Vast and profound, it seemed to contain the mysteries of the entire ocean and the vicissitudes of eternity! There were no pupils, only a pure golden light that seemed to penetrate souls! Glinting within was icy majesty, an ancient divinity, and… a subtle scrutiny of the two intruders!
The legendary god of the ocean!
It really appeared!
【……】
[(The screen is blank, with only countless ellipsis scrolling)][What…what did I see? God…a miracle?][It’s…too big…is this really a living thing?! I feel like my worldview is collapsing!][Those red stripes… so cool! But also so scary! I feel like there’s a devastating power within them!][Its eyes… Mom! I feel like it’s looking at me! It’s looking at me through the screen!][This is… Kyogre?! The ruler of the SSS-class restricted area?! I can’t breathe… I really can’t breathe!]After the dead silence, a barrage of comments erupted, a hundred times more intense than any before! This time, it was no longer simply shock and excitement, but rather a deeper awe and fear! Some people even felt their vision go dark and nearly fainted from the overstimulation! Countless devices wailed in despair from the sudden data overload!
This is Kyogre! His mere existence is enough to shake the world!
Every breath it takes is like the rise and fall of the tide.
It seems like it is not breathing air, but breathing the entire ocean!
In the face of such a majestic existence, any language seems pale and powerless.
Lin Yan took a deep breath and forced his heart, which had almost stopped due to the extreme shock, to return to normal. He knew that now was not the time to lose consciousness!
He slowly raised his hand, not in any threatening manner, but with his palm spread out over his chest – a gesture of peace and non-malice.
Then, he concentrated all his energy and mobilized the special ability in his body to establish a connection with Pokémon – telepathy!
A gentle, pure thought without any distractions, like a trickle of water, carefully extended towards the consciousness body that was like a vast sea of stars.
“Great God of the Ocean, Kyogre…” Lin Yan’s voice echoed through his heart, full of respect, yet neither humble nor overbearing. “My name is Lin Yan, a human from land. I come here with no ill intentions, nor do I intend to challenge your majesty, nor do I intend to disturb your slumber.”
“I am a ‘Revealer.’ My purpose is to understand this world, to understand beings as great as you, and to explore the possibility of harmonious coexistence between Pokémon and humans. I come with respect, solely to observe and learn, and I hope to gain your understanding.”
His thoughts were clear and sincere, like a stone thrown into the sea, hoping to create a ripple in that unfathomable consciousness.
Kyogre’s golden eyes seemed to flicker slightly.
It didn’t respond immediately, nor did it attack.
The enormous body began to swim slowly around Lin Yan and Huanhuan with an elegant posture that was inconsistent with its size.
It wasn’t fast, but every move was accompanied by a sense of control and power. A huge shadow enveloped Lin Yan, as if it could swallow him up at any moment.
But Lin Yan didn’t move. He kept his palms spread out, his eyes calmly meeting those huge golden eyes, allowing them to scrutinize him.
Menghuan also floated nervously beside Lin Yan, with its small body blocking its master, watching Kyogre’s every move vigilantly, but without Lin Yan’s order, it also did not make any extreme reactions.
A man and a small animal seemed so small surrounded by this huge god-like existence, yet they exuded a strange calmness and courage.
The audience in the live broadcast room were so excited that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests!
【!!! It’s circling! What’s it trying to do?!】
[So… so nervous! Will it suddenly swallow the host in one gulp?!][This host is so bold! He even dares to use telepathy?! Isn’t he afraid of angering it?!][A boss is a boss! He can still remain calm in the face of such a situation! This is really cool!][Dream is so brave! It’s always standing in front of me! Woohoo, I really want to hug it!][It seems… Kyogre didn’t attack right away? Did the streamer’s communication work?][Please don’t let anything happen! I haven’t seen enough!]The tense atmosphere is like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to explode at any moment!
While Kyogre was still “inspecting”, Lin Yan seized the opportunity and continued to comment on the live broadcast, his voice still calm and professional:
“Dear audience, what you are seeing now is the legendary God of the Ocean – Kyogre!”
“Pay attention to its appearance,” his voice, like the best documentary narration, guided the audience’s attention. “The deep blue skin represents its ultimate control over the water element. Those red stripes, according to ancient records, are believed to be the paths of primordial ocean energy flowing within its body, containing unimaginable power.”
“Its size…” Lin Yan paused, as if he was also shocked by the scene before him, “far exceeds that of any creature we currently know. It moves in the water, but the sound of the water is almost inaudible, which shows that its control over the water flow has reached a superb level.”
“According to the information unlocked by the system and some legends, Kyogre possesses an extremely terrifying exclusive ability – ‘Root Fluctuation’!”
As soon as the words “Root Fluctuation” came out, the hearts of all the audience sank suddenly!
Lin Yan’s tone became extremely serious. “‘Root Fluctuation’ is not a simple water gun or water cannon. It mobilizes the most primitive power of the ocean, releasing an energy shock that is enough to trigger a tsunami and instantly change the terrain! It is so powerful that it is worthy of being called ‘World-Destroying Level’!”
World-destroying level!
These two words, like two heavy hammers, hit the hearts of every audience member hard!
They finally understood why Kyogre was rated SSS! That wasn’t a challenge at all; it was a path to self-destruction!
Chapter 16: Kyogre’s Trial (Old Version)
Dead silence.
Like the deep sea itself, a suffocating silence enveloped the entire live broadcast room.
The lingering roar from the primordial chaos seemed to still echo in their ears, making everyone’s scalp tingle and their hearts beat wildly. The brief bursts of snow and noise after the violent shaking of the live broadcast screen only exacerbated the doomsday-like panic.
“Gurgle…” Lin Yan’s throat rolled, forcing himself to swallow the sweet, fishy taste rising in his throat. The invisible sonic impact had not only struck his diving suit, but had also directly penetrated the energy shield, shaking his internal organs. The Deep Sea Walker’s internal alarms were still shrill, reminding him of the terrifying impact.
“Mmmmm…” A nearby dream shook its head, its pink glow dimming considerably, clearly feeling the immense pressure. It quickly flew back to Lin Yan, its face filled with worry and vigilance. It once again deployed its telekinetic barrier. Although its range and intensity were somewhat weaker than before, it remained steadfast in its defense of Lin Yan.
Lin Yan raised his hand and gently patted Menghuan’s head, sending a soothing thought through telepathy: “It’s okay, Menghuan, hold on. It… doesn’t seem to have any intention of attacking right away.”
Yes, that colossal figure, floating in the darkness like a god, had not followed up its earth-shattering roar with a devastating attack. Those massive golden eyes, imbued with the majesty of an entire ocean, remained fixed on Lin Yan. They were cold and majestic, but seemed to hold a hint of scrutiny rather than pure murderous intent.
[…Just…what was that just now?! My headphones nearly exploded!][Is that Kyogre’s cry?! I feel like my soul is being shaken out of my body!][Host! Host, are you okay?! Menghuan! How’s Menghuan?!][No…didn’t attack? It just roared? I was so scared! I thought it was going to directly cause the root fluctuation!][This pressure… is outrageous! Just yelling is enough, but if they really hit me…][This SSS-level restricted area is no joke…]The dead silence of the barrage forum was like a frozen river finally breaking open, with countless frightened comments pouring out, venting the fear and dread that had just built up. Many viewers even found their palms and backs drenched in cold sweat.
However, just when everyone thought they could take a breath and guess what Kyogre’s next move would be—
Mutation, rebirth!
“Boom boom boom!!!”
No warning at all!
With Kyogre’s huge body as the center, the surrounding sea water suddenly began to stir violently in an extremely violent and chaotic manner!
It was no longer the slow and heavy rhythm of before, but a real – violent one!
The pitch-black waters seemed to be madly stirred by an invisible giant hand, forming countless terrifying undercurrents visible to the naked eye! These undercurrents were like giant pythons awakening in the deep sea, colliding and tearing at each other, emitting a dull roar like thunder!
Even more terrifying was the fact that an immense underwater whirlpool was forming at an alarming rate! The center of the whirlpool was not far from Lin Yan and Huanhuan, and a terrifying suction force instantly gripped them, tugging at their bodies and dragging them into the swirling, all-consuming dark abyss!
“Not good!” Lin Yan’s face suddenly changed, and the blood that he had just forcibly suppressed surged again!
This isn’t a natural phenomenon! This is Kyogre’s power! He’s controlling the sea!
“Crash!” An extremely powerful horizontal undercurrent came crashing down like a sledgehammer!
“Meow!” Huanhuan screamed, and the mental barrier was instantly torn open. It and Lin Yan were like two fallen leaves in a storm, and were instantly blown away!
“Grab it!” Lin Yan yelled at Menghuan through telepathy the moment he was swept away! At the same time, he desperately adjusted his posture, quickly reaching out and grabbing a huge, angular black reef that was rolling by the current!
“Bang!” The dull thud of his body hitting the reef was so deafening that even through the diving suit, Lin Yan’s arms went numb and his internal organs nearly shifted! But he gritted his teeth, his fingers gripping the cracks in the reef like pliers, and finally managed to stabilize himself before being sucked into the whirlpool!
“Dream!” he called eagerly.
“Meow!” Not far away, a dreamy little figure rolled several times in the violent water flow, but soon stabilized its body with the help of its powerful superpowers. The pink light lit up again, and it struggled to resist the terrifying water flow and the suction of the whirlpool coming from all directions, and approached Lin Yan’s position little by little.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Undersea storm?! Kyogre’s taking action?!][What’s going on?! Is the water flowing like crazy?! How can I hide from this?!][Whirlpool! What a huge whirlpool! Anchor, run!][I caught the reef! That was a close call! The host reacted so quickly!][Dream! Come on, Dream! Come to the host!][Is this the real test?! This environment alone is enough to kill me!][It was terrifying! I felt like my diving suit was going to rip at any moment!]The live feed shook violently again, the camera sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, buffeted by the raging water. The audience’s hearts raced, even more nervous than when they’d just faced Kyogre himself! Because this time, it was a real, deadly crisis!
Lin Yan clung to the reef tightly, the violent current constantly battering his body and diving suit. The energy shield of the “Deep Sea Walker” flickered with an overloaded “sizzling” sound, as if it would collapse at any moment! Menghuan struggled to fly to his side, her small body pressed tightly against the reef, and she used all her strength to release her telekinesis, forming a small barrier that barely offset some of the direct impact of the current.
“Is it…testing us?” Lin Yan wiped the moisture condensed on the inside of his mask due to the temperature difference (actually a system simulation effect), and scanned the chaotic environment around him with sharp eyes.
With Kyogre’s power, if he truly wanted to kill them, there would be no need for such trouble. A single “Root Fluctuation” wouldn’t even require his full strength, and he could wipe them out along with the entire sea.
This situation now is more like a… screening? Or perhaps a test?
Test them to see if they have the ability to survive or even…solve the problem in such a desperate situation?
At this moment, Lin Yan’s eyes suddenly focused!
He saw that at the edge of the violent and chaotic vortex, and at several nodes where the undercurrent was most turbulent, there was actually a kind of… strange light!
The light, a deep, dark blue, like frozen lightning, was embedded in several irregularly shaped, translucent crystals! These crystals, roughly the size of a human head, quietly floated in the water or embedded in the surrounding seafloor rocks, emitting a cold energy wave that was completely different from the red stripes on Kyogre’s body!
The source of the terrifying underwater storm’s power seemed to be closely related to these strange crystals! The closer to the crystals, the more violent the water flow!
“So that’s how it is…” A hint of enlightenment flashed in Lin Yan’s eyes, and a very faint, challenging smile appeared at the corner of his mouth!
This cool smile was accurately conveyed to all the audience through the slightly shaky camera!
【!!! The host laughed?! He actually laughed at a time like this?!】
[Am I seeing this right? He’s laughing? What did he discover?][I don’t understand the world of big guys, but I was deeply shocked! ][That smile! That’s amazing! Facing the test of the Ocean God, he can still smile! That mentality is unbeatable!][Could it be… there’s a turning point?! Has the host found a way out?]What are those glowing crystals? Are they playing tricks on me?
The audience’s curiosity and anticipation were instantly aroused! Their nervousness had miraculously calmed down considerably due to Lin Yan’s confident smile.
“Dream,” Lin Yan’s telepathy was clearly transmitted to his companions, “Do you see those glowing crystals? This storm was most likely caused by them. Kyogre seems to want to see if we have the ability to quell this ‘test’.”
“Me?” Menghuan blinked her big eyes and also noticed the crystals emitting strange energy.
“We accept its test!” Lin Yan’s eyes became incomparably determined. “Destroying those crystals should be enough to stop the storm!”
“Meow!” Menghuan immediately understood, and a strong fighting spirit burst out from its small body! Facing a strong enemy, they never retreat!
“Let’s try the nearest one first!” Lin Yan quickly locked onto the target, which was a blue crystal embedded in a huge rock on the lower side. It was about ten meters away from them, but there were several violent horizontal undercurrents in between.
“Use telekinesis to attack it!” Lin Yan gave the order.
“Meow!” His dreamy eyes condensed, light flowed in his pink pupils, and powerful super powers gathered in an instant!
A solid telekinetic shock wave with a pink halo, like an arrow shot from a bow, penetrated the layers of violent water obstacles and accurately hit the dark blue crystal!
【Here it comes! Dream is taking action! 】
[Crush it! Dream! I’m rooting for you!][Using super powers to attack crystals? That should be fine, right?]【Come on! Break one, and the storm will weaken a little!】
All the audience held their breath and stared at the screen!
However–
“Bang!”
The telekinetic shock wave hit the crystal solidly!
but!
The expected scene of crystal shattering did not happen!
The dark blue crystal only flickered slightly, emitted a dull sound, and then remained silent! Not even a crack appeared!
“Meh?!” Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, as if she didn’t expect that her full-strength attack would have no effect!
【??? No response?!】
[Holy crap! It’s so hard?! Even my dreamy telekinesis can’t break it?!][What material is this crystal made of? Is it made of vibranium?!][Where’s the scraping? Dreamy baby, didn’t you eat? (Hey, dog head, save my life)][It’s over! What if I can’t break it? Is the anchor going to be trapped here and die?!][This test is too difficult! It’s a dead end with no solution!]The livestream room erupted in an uproar! The hope that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished as if by a bucket of cold water! The ineffectiveness of the fantasy attack meant that they seemed to be truly in dire straits!
“It’s really not that simple…” Lin Yan frowned slightly, but his eyes were still as sharp as a knife, without any panic.
He knew that the test set by Kyogre could not be easily broken.
“Menghuan, don’t be impatient.” He comforted his frustrated partner, “Try again, try a different angle!”
“Meow!” Huanhuan regained his composure, concentrated his mental power again, and launched an attack from another tricky angle!
The result was the same! The crystal remained motionless, though the faint blue light on its surface seemed to have grown a bit brighter.
“Damn it…” Lin Yan gritted his teeth, his brain working rapidly.
The hardness is too high, and forceful attacks are ineffective…
Is there some other mechanism? Does it require a specific energy attribute? Or is it just… the attack method is wrong?
He resisted the impact of the water flow and stared at the blue crystal that remained as steady as a rock in the violent water flow. His eyes were like a scanner of the highest precision, analyzing its structure inch by inch.
The translucent crystal seems to have some deeper, nebula-like light spots flowing inside… Wait!
At the very center of the crystal, there seems to be a point with a slightly different color and more concentrated energy fluctuations?
There, is the core?!
“Dream!” Lin Yan’s eyes flashed, and he made a quick judgment. “Don’t attack the entire crystal! Concentrate all your strength and attack the very center of it! That’s where the energy is most concentrated! Use your strongest power to penetrate it!”
“Meow!!!” Huanhuan instantly understood Lin Yan’s intention, and its tiny body erupted in an unprecedented light! Pink superpower energy condensed crazily, forming a highly compressed energy drill in front of it, flashing with a dangerous luster!
【!!! Found it?! Found the weakness?!】
[Core! Attack the core! Quick, quick, quick!][The host’s observation skills are amazing! He can even spot this!][Focus on one thing and reach the pinnacle! Dream, give it a diamond! ][Success or failure depends on this one move! Please! ]My heart is about to give out! I hope you will succeed soon!
The atmosphere in the livestream room reached its peak once again! Everyone stared intently at the constantly compressing and spinning pink energy drill in front of Menghuan, and at the strange crystal emitting a faint blue light in the distance!
“Now! Go!” Lin Yan gave the order!
“Mee-chi–!!!”
Accompanied by a sharp scream from Fantasy, the pink energy drill that had been condensed to the extreme, like a lightning that cuts through the darkness, slammed into the dark blue crystal again with an indomitable momentum!
This time, the target is directly aimed at the crystal core!
“Buzz—Crack!!!”
A completely different voice sounded!
It was no longer a dull thud, but a sound… as if something was being forcibly drilled and torn apart!
I saw that the surface of the extremely hard dark blue crystal suddenly burst into fine cracks centered on the core point hit by the telekinetic drill!
The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web!
The next second——
“Bang!!!”
A crisp explosion could be clearly heard amidst the roar of the raging water!
The indestructible blue crystal that had troubled them for so long finally…
Under the precise attack of Dream’s concentrated strength, it exploded!
Countless dark blue fragments flew around like stars, and then quickly disappeared in the surging sea!
And as this crystal shattered——
The most intuitive change has occurred!
With the crystal’s original location as the center, the surrounding, previously extremely violent undercurrents and tearing forces suddenly increased at a speed visible to the naked eye…
Calmed down!
Although the entire underwater storm still exists, at least in this small area, the degree of chaos has been significantly reduced!
Success!
Lin Yan’s judgment was correct! These crystals were indeed the key nodes of the storm!
[It’s broken!!! Damn it’s broken!!!][Awesome!!! The host is awesome! Fantastic and awesome!!!]【Ahhhhh, it worked! I really broke it!】
[I told you! How could a big boss be stumped?]The storm has weakened! It’s really weakened! There’s hope!
[So cool! Such coordination! Such skill! Full marks!][Kyogre: Young man, you’ve successfully caught my attention! ]The livestream room erupted in excitement! Countless “666”s and cheers flooded the screen like a tide! The despair and worry of the moment vanished, replaced by unparalleled excitement and thrill! Witnessing the host, under the test of the Ocean God, find a way out through wisdom and courage, the exhilaration was indescribable!
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his tense muscles relaxing slightly. He looked at Menghuan, who was also panting but with an excited look in her eyes, and smiled with relief.
“Well done, Dreamy!”
“Meow~!” Huanhuan rubbed Lin Yan’s diving suit helmet happily.
However, their joy did not last long.
Because they could feel that an extremely majestic and powerful gaze was once again focused on them.
Lin Yan slowly raised his head and faced the pair of giant golden eyes that were like deep-sea lighthouses.
The storm, though beginning to subside, has not completely disappeared.
And the attitude of the ocean god, Kyogre…seems to have undergone a subtle change.
In that cold majesty, there seemed to be… a hint of…
Recognition?
Test, have you passed?
Or is this just the first level?
Chapter 17: Secrets Deep in the Forbidden Zone (Old Version)
The moment the dark blue crystal exploded was like a silent signal.
“Crack…Crack…Crack…”
Continuous, crisp, shattering sounds rang out one after another from the violent and chaotic sea water around!
Lin Yan and Menghuan, as well as the hundreds of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, all clearly saw that those dark blue crystals that had previously created terrifying underwater storms like nightmares, no matter their size or where they were embedded, all began to burst synchronously without any warning… from the core!
Like ice flowers blooming, spider-web-like cracks instantly covered the surface of every piece of crystal!
Then——
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
A series of dense explosions, like deep-sea thunder, merged into one!
All of the dark blue crystals that had triggered this catastrophic underwater storm shattered at the same moment, transforming into a sky filled with dark blue points of light, like stardust reflected in the deep sea. The brilliance was brilliant, yet it carried a sense of finality, slowly dissipating into the pitch-black waters.
With the annihilation of all the crystals, the violent ocean current and huge whirlpool that almost tore the “Deep Sea Walker” apart and dragged Lin Yan and Huanhuan into the bottomless abyss, like a river with its source cut off, quickly decayed and calmed down at an astonishing speed.
The chaotic water flow became orderly, the crazy swirl turned into a gentle surge, and the suffocating tearing force disappeared without a trace.
However, in just a dozen seconds, the core sea area of the SSS-level restricted area, which had been like hell before, actually returned to its original, almost stagnant depth and silence.
Only the huge figure floating in the darkness like an ancient mountain range and its giant golden eyes like deep-sea stars still exude supreme majesty that makes the soul tremble.
The storm has completely stopped.
[Stop…stop?!][Holy crap! It really stopped! All the crystals shattered?!][It was Kyogre! Did Kyogre stop on his own?! Did he acknowledge the streamer?! !][I told you! Breaking one is just the beginning! The anchor has passed the test!][I was so scared just now. I thought I had to fight them one by one. That would take forever!][This… is this the power of the Ocean God? It starts when it speaks and stops when it speaks…][Wait, doesn’t that mean the efforts of the streamer and Mew were just… just a stepping stone? The real decision-making power has always been in Kyogre’s hands? This is terrifying!][Anyway, I survived! This streamer is awesome!!! Fantasy MVP!!!]The comments in the livestream erupted like a volcano, a brief silence followed by an even more frenzied screen-filling! The audience’s emotions were like a roller coaster, from the brink of despair to witnessing a miracle, then to shock and speculation as the storm subsided. A complex intertwined mix of emotions ultimately dissolved into awe for the host and the dream, and awe for Kyogre’s unfathomable power!
Lin Yan slowly loosened his grip on the reef, his fingers turning pale from the force he’d exerted. He glanced at Meng Huan, who had also relaxed, but remained vigilant, and nodded gently.
“Hu…” He let out a long breath. Even within the diving suit, it felt more like a mental release. He could feel the physical pressure locked upon him. Although still immense, the coldness and scrutiny contained within it seemed… much less.
The test is over.
He did not speak immediately, but floated quietly in the water, adjusting his breathing and mentality, looking calmly back at the giant golden eyes that contained the will of the entire ocean.
He knew that the real communication had just begun.
“Great Ocean God, Kyogre.” Lin Yan’s voice, resonating through his mind, was clearly transmitted. This time, he avoided honorifics, speaking in a more level tone, expressing respect for the powerful and his own persistence. “We come here with no ill intentions. I am… a recorder, a human seeking to understand the truth of this world.”
He paused, organizing his words. “We accepted the test just now and luckily passed it. Now, may I know why you are so wary of us… and humans?”
The silence of the deep sea seems to swallow up all sound and light.
A tiny ripple seemed to flash across Kyogre’s giant golden eyes, like a stone thrown into a calm sea.
After a time that seemed as long as a century, a grand, vast thought, which had been accumulated over endless years, surged into Lin Yan’s mind like a tsunami!
This thought wasn’t a sound, but more like a… brand! It directly engraved information, emotions, and images deep into his consciousness!
“Humanity…”
Cold, majestic, with a hint of indescribable… fatigue and disappointment.
Immediately afterwards, countless images emerged like a tide!
Lin Yan “saw” it!
He saw the clear sea water become turbid and the colorful coral reefs turned into a dead gray!
He saw countless strange sea Pokémon struggling in pain in the murky sea water, wailing silently because they had lost their homes and food!
He saw huge steel creatures, like greedy monsters, unscrupulously breaking into the peaceful underwater home, emitting dark toxic substances and injecting poison into this blue cradle!
He saw that the fishing net was like a dragnet, catching countless marine creatures regardless of size or species, leaving only an empty and dead sea!
He saw that the glaciers were melting, the sea level was rising, and the warm sea water was killing the ancient life forms that had adapted to the cold environment!
Every scene is shocking!
These images are not a record of a specific event, but more like… a microcosm of what Kyogre, as the guardian of the ocean, has witnessed and felt for countless years, as the entire marine ecosystem is gradually approaching the brink of collapse under the influence of human activities!
That thought was filled with regret for life, anger at the destruction of homeland, and deep disappointment at mankind’s endless greed and shortsightedness!
“You… are plundering… polluting… destroying…”
“The ocean… is crying… life… is fading…”
“Your actions… threaten all living beings… including yourselves…”
The intermittent thoughts, every word was as heavy as ten thousand tons of sea water, hitting Lin Yan’s heart hard!
His face was pale, and even a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead (system simulation effect). Even through the telepathic resonance, he could clearly feel Kyogre’s anger and sadness as if they were tangible! This emotion was not directed at him personally, but an accusation of the behavior of the entire tribe!
“Meow…” Dream also felt this heavy emotion. It nudged Lin Yan nervously, its large pink eyes filled with worry and a hint of… empathetic sadness. As a mythical Pokémon, its perception of life and nature far surpassed that of ordinary people.
The live broadcast room fell into deathly silence again.
This time, it wasn’t out of fear, but out of… shock and shame.
Through the perspective shared by Lin Yan and the partial emotional resonance that was allowed to be conveyed, the audience also “saw” those heartbreaking scenes and “heard” the heavy accusation from the God of the Ocean!
【…………】
[I… I don’t know what to say…]“So… is that so? Is this why Kyogre is so hostile to humans?”
Pollution…overfishing…climate change…aren’t these…what we are doing?
[Suddenly I feel… so ashamed… We’ve always treated the ocean as a treasure trove to be taken at will, but we never considered that it can also be hurt, and can cry…]Those struggling Pokémon… are so pitiful… What on earth have we done?!
[Host… I was wrong… I used to think Kyogre was too aggressive, but now it seems… his anger is justified…][This isn’t a game or an adventure anymore… This is reality! This is a warning!][Anchor…what should we do? What else can we do?]The comments were no longer filled with exclamations and memes, but were now filled with reflection, self-blame, and confusion. For the first time, many people saw, directly and from the perspective of a “god,” the damage human activities were inflicting on the planet. The impact was far greater than any news report or documentary!
Lin Yan took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the emotions surging in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to dwell on shock and guilt.
He raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on Kyogre’s giant golden eyes, and the voice that resonated with his mind was clear and powerful:
“What you see and feel are facts. I cannot deny that many human actions have indeed caused great harm to the ocean.”
His honesty caused Kyogre’s massive mind to pause slightly.
“But!” Lin Yan changed the subject, his tone firm, “Not all humans are like this! There are still many people who are working hard to protect the environment, researching methods of sustainable development, and trying to make up for past mistakes!”
“I, Lin Yan, as a human who can communicate with Pokémon, make this promise to you!” His voice was resounding, carrying an unquestionable determination. “I will share everything you’ve shown me, the plight of the ocean, with as many people as possible through my livestream! I will do my best to awaken people’s awareness and promote change! I can’t represent all of humanity, but I will use my actions to prove that there is hope among us!”
These words have no fancy words, no empty promises, only the simplest promises and the firmest determination!
Facing the legendary God of the Ocean, facing the supreme power that could destroy him in an instant, Lin Yan did not retreat at all. Instead, he made his voice heard in an almost “confrontational” manner!
This is his “Bige”! It’s not arrogance, but comes from inner belief and sense of responsibility!
【!!! Anchor!!!】
[Holy crap! What the host said! So exciting! So awesome!][This is a real man! Dare to face the problem and dare to make a promise! ][My eyes are filled with tears! Streamer! I believe in you! Let’s work hard together!][Yes! We can’t generalize! We still have a chance to change!][Anchor, count me in! From today on, protecting the ocean starts with me!][I’m a fan! This is the anchor we want to watch! Talented, responsible, and capable!][Kyogre: Boy, you’ve successfully caught my attention.jpg]The emotions in the livestream were ignited once again! This time, they were moved by Lin Yan’s determination and commitment! Countless viewers were moved by his words, expressing their support and even spontaneously discussing specific actions to protect the ocean. Lin Yan’s words were not only a promise to Kyogre, but also a seed that sowed in the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers!
Kyogre’s huge golden eyes stared at Lin Yan quietly, and in that deep gaze, something seemed to be quietly changing.
That grand thought came again, this time, with less cold anger and more… scrutiny and… an imperceptible expectation.
“Words… are cheap…”
“Actions…proven…”
Lin Yan did not flinch: “I understand. I will prove it with my actions.”
After a long silence, Kyogre’s huge body actually slowly… moved.
It was not going to attack, but in front of Lin Yan and Huanhuan, it gently swung its huge island-like flippers in an extremely slow and unparalleled majestic manner.
In an instant, the surrounding sea water seemed to come alive!
It is no longer a violent turbulence, but… a graceful rhythm full of vitality!
Countless tiny points of light emerged from the water, like living stars. They followed Kyogre’s movements, converging into vibrant, shimmering currents of color! These currents didn’t flow in straight lines, but rather swirled and intertwined gracefully like ribbons, creating intricate and harmonious patterns.
Lin Yan could even feel that these ocean currents contained a kind of… gentle yet powerful life energy!
“This is… the pulse of the ocean…” Kyogre’s thought came again, this time with an ancient wisdom, “It is the flow of energy… the cycle of life…”
It was showing Lin Yan! Showing the most fundamental ocean power it controlled! Not destruction, but creation and maintenance!
Immediately afterwards, more information flooded into Lin Yan’s mind.
About the energy characteristics of different sea areas, about the impact of specific ocean currents on the migration and reproduction of Pokémon, about the key role of certain seemingly insignificant marine plants in the entire ecosystem, about… the ancient laws that maintain the delicate balance of this vast blue world!
Chapter 18: New Treasure Hunt! Locate the Divine Beast! (Old Version)
This knowledge is profound and complex, yet full of natural harmony and wisdom.
Lin Yan absorbed this valuable information like a sponge. At the same time, he generously relayed the part he understood to all the viewers as clearly as possible through the live broadcast system.
“Did you see that? Kyogre is showing us the true power of the ocean… It’s not simply destructive, but a… law that maintains balance and nurtures life! These different colored ocean currents represent different energy properties and temperatures, and their flow sustains the entire ocean ecosystem…”
“And these little glowing dots, Kyogre told me, are a special type of ocean energy particle, the basis for the survival of many marine Pokémon… Pollution will directly destroy the purity of this energy…”
“It also tells me that the ocean’s ability to repair itself is limited. Once a certain threshold is exceeded, the collapse is irreversible…”
Lin Yan’s voice was filled with wonder and heaviness. He was like a student listening to a lecture from one of the oldest and wisest teachers, and sharing everything he had learned with everyone in front of the screen.
The audience in the live broadcast room was completely shocked!
They only knew that Kyogre was the God of the Ocean and a terrifying existence in the SSS-level forbidden area, but they never imagined that this god possessed such profound wisdom and mastered such complex laws of ecological balance!
Oh my goodness…Is the ocean so complex? I only knew water was H2O…
[Classes have begun at Kyogre University! Sunflower seeds, peanuts, and mineral water are available in the front row!]This scene is so beautiful! It’s almost miraculous! Is this the true Heart of the Ocean?
[I don’t understand it, but it sounds impressive! I don’t quite understand it, but it sounds really impressive!][Host, take notes! This is a lesson from a god-level master! It’s priceless!][I suddenly feel… that we humans truly understand too little about this world… and are too arrogant…][Kyogre: See? This is sea control! Learn this!]Protect the ocean! It’s urgent! For these beautiful images, for Pokémon, and for ourselves!
The audience marveled at the wonders Kyogre displayed and was captivated by the knowledge gained about marine life. Lin Yan’s retelling instantly elevated the significance of this livestream beyond mere curiosity and adventure, elevating it to a whole new level! Many even took out their electronic devices, frantically recording Lin Yan’s every word!
This “lecture” lasted for quite a long time.
It was not until the gorgeous ocean currents slowly subsided that Kyogre’s attention focused on Lin Yan again.
“I feel your determination…”
“Humanity…perhaps…there is still hope…”
Although this comment was still bland, it was a huge change compared to the previous coldness and anger!
Lin Yan felt relieved, knowing that his most crucial step had been a success. He had earned the initial… recognition of this ancient deity.
“But… change… takes time… and more importantly… strength…” Kyogre’s thoughts continued, “You… are still very weak…”
Lin Yan admitted frankly: “Yes, I understand. I will work hard to become stronger, in order to protect you, and also to… fulfill my promise.”
Kyogre’s huge golden eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
A moment later, a new stream of information flowed into Lin Yan’s mind.
“The ocean…is the cradle of life…and holds…the secrets of evolution…”
“In… far… deep…”
“There is a place…’The Heart of the Tide’…”
“There… gathers… the purest… primordial ocean power…”
“Maybe… I can help… your partner…”
“Become…stronger…”
Heart of the Tide? Primal Ocean Power? Help your companions become stronger?
Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat!
evolution?!
Does it mean the evolution of Pokémon?!
He immediately pressed the issue, “Great Kyogre, where exactly is the ‘Heart of the Tides’ you speak of? Can the power there really help Pokémon evolve?”
However, Kyogre’s thoughts became somewhat vague and distant.
“The time…is not yet right…”
“When you… are… worthy… of facing… the will of the ocean again…”
“It…will…guide you…”
After saying these riddle-like words, Kyogre’s huge body slowly sank into the deeper and darker seabed under the gaze of Lin Yan and Menghuan.
The pair of giant golden eyes like stars took one last look at Lin Yan. The emotions contained in them were complex and difficult to understand. There seemed to be expectations, warnings, and a hint of… eternal majesty.
Then, its huge figure completely merged into the boundless darkness, as if it had never appeared.
The surrounding sea water once again returned to its heart-wrenching silence.
Only Lin Yan and Menghuan were left, floating in the deep sea that had just experienced a god-level test and communication.
[Gone?! Kyogre is gone?!]“Is that all? I still want to listen to Kyogre’s lecture!”
[Heart of the Tide? Evolution? Holy crap! A major clue!][So… Kyogre showed the streamer a clear path? Letting him level up and fight monsters?]‘Qualified enough’? Does it refer to strength? Or to contributions to ocean conservation?
[Riddler, get out of here! It’s so frustrating to only say half the words!][Host! Don’t just stand there! Quickly analyze this! What exactly is ‘Heart of the Tide’?!][Is a new adventure about to begin?! The anticipation is high!]The livestream instantly exploded! Kyogre’s departure and final message were like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, stirring up a tidal wave! The entire audience was captivated by the two keywords: “Heart of the Tide” and “Evolution”!
Lin Yan hovered in place, digesting the vast amount of information he had just exchanged with Kyogre, as well as the last crucial hint.
Heart of the Tides… Primal Ocean Power… Evolution…
This is absolutely extremely important information!
Although Kyogre didn’t say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear. That place held huge opportunities, but he was not qualified to go there yet.
Is it a lack of strength? Or a lack of understanding of the ocean? Or both?
Lin Yan’s eyes flickered, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
Regardless, he had memorized this “Heart of the Tide”! Once he finished his current tasks and improved his strength, he would definitely go find this place!
But right now…
Lin Yan lowered his head and glanced at the mysterious gem containing Jirachi on his waist, which was still emitting faint starlight.
His communication with Kyogre had come to a temporary conclusion, but he had gained far more than he had expected. Not only had he resolved the crisis and won the initial recognition of the Ocean God, but he had also obtained important clues regarding the “Heart of the Tide.” More importantly, through this live broadcast, he had spread awareness of ocean protection.
So, next…
Lin Yan’s gaze turned to the deeper and darker seabed.
Kyogre’s departure does not mean that the danger of this SSS-level restricted area has been eliminated.
There are still countless unknown secrets and dangers hidden in the deep sea.
The purpose of his trip, in addition to communicating with Kyogre, is also to… explore this deep-sea restricted area that humans have never truly set foot in!
“Alright, everyone.” Lin Yan adjusted his composure and flashed a confident, exploratory smile to the camera. “Our interaction with Kyogre, the God of the Ocean, has concluded for now. I have to say, this was truly… a soul-shaking experience.”
“We’ve taken note of Kyogre’s last mention of ‘The Heart of the Tide’. That will be one of our future goals.”
“But now,” he said, his voice rising slightly, a hint of mystery in it, “since we have arrived in this deep sea thousands of meters below and have temporarily obtained a ‘pass’, then…”
“Wouldn’t it be a shame not to explore the wonders of this uncharted sea?”
“Now, let us witness together what unknown secrets this SSS-level restricted area holds without Kyogre’s direct intervention…”
“…It’s a secret!”
Chapter 19: A Divine Beast Far Superior to Kyogre!! (Old Version)
Lin Yan was suspended in the dead silent deep sea, surrounded by an indissoluble ink color. Only the searchlight on his diving suit and the soft pink light emanating from Huanhuan’s body could barely open up a small piece of his vision.
Kyokar’s body, as huge as a mountain, has completely disappeared at the end of the abyss, but those giant golden eyes that contain ancient wisdom and supreme majesty seem to still be imprinted on Lin Yan’s retina.
“call……”
Lin Yan let out a long breath, forcing himself to calm his still agitated emotions. The information-rich exchange with the legendary Ocean God had been a huge shock, both mentally and psychologically.
“Alright, everyone.” He adjusted the angle of the quantum signal transmitter, ensuring the camera could clearly capture himself and the dream around him. His voice was transmitted through the system, resounding clearly in the ears of hundreds of millions of viewers. “This communication with Kyogre, the God of the Ocean, has concluded for now. I have to say, this was truly… a soul-shaking experience.”
He paused, a confident and exploratory smile on his face. “We’ve taken note of the ‘Heart of the Tide’ that Kyogre mentioned last. That will be one of our future goals. A mysterious place where Pokémon partners can gain the power to evolve. Just thinking about it makes your blood boil, doesn’t it?”
[Indeed! Evolution! Oh my god! Just thinking about it is exciting!][Hurry up, host! Go find the Heart of the Tide now!][Don’t worry about that, didn’t you hear what Kyogre said? ‘The time isn’t right yet’, ‘you have to be qualified enough’! ]This “qualification” is quite intriguing. Does it refer to the streamer’s ability? Or does it refer to contributions to ocean protection?
[Blind guess, both are required! Is the test from the gods so simple?][But that look from Kyogre at the end… it felt like he acknowledged the streamer? At least he’s not an enemy anymore!][Hmm, from a destructive storm to imparting the law, this attitude change is amazing! All thanks to the host’s extreme mouth cannon + sincerity!]Watching the discussion on the forum thread, Lin Yan smiled slightly and continued, “That’s right, we can’t go to the ‘Heart of the Tide’ for the time being. But,” he changed the subject, his eyes scanning the endless darkness sharply, “now that we have arrived in this deep sea thousands of meters below, and have temporarily obtained the ‘pass’ of the God of the Ocean—at least, it didn’t just blast us out, right?”
His half-joking tone eased the tense atmosphere in the live broadcast room a little.
“So…” His voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of fascinating mystery. “Although Kyogre has left, the exploration of this SSS-level restricted area has just begun!”
“Just now, at the last moment before Kyogre left, I felt a very faint but unusually clear guiding thought, pointing in the direction of…” Lin Yan stretched out his arm, pointing to the deeper darkness in front of him, “that direction.”
“Although it doesn’t say it explicitly, I guess this is perhaps Kyogre’s first test? Or perhaps, the first step towards becoming ‘qualified’?”
Lin Yan’s voice is full of magnetism, and every word he says strikes the heartstrings of the audience, instantly raising their curiosity and anticipation!
【!!! Here it comes! The host’s signature program: Death-seeking adventure!】
[In-depth tour of the SSS-level restricted area! Mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the live broadcast!][Kyogre: You’re already wandering off right after I left, right? (Staring)][Direction guidance? Isn’t this the NPC who guides you through the Novice Village quests? It’s a Poseidon brand!][Hurry up, host! I can’t wait to see what other bizarre Pokémon are out there in the deep sea!][Don’t be so rude! I hope I can meet someone friendly…][Meow!] Menghuan spun briskly around Lin Yan, its big pink eyes filled with curiosity, clearly looking forward to the upcoming exploration. It gently nudged Lin Yan’s arm, as if to say, “Let’s go!”
Lin Yan nodded and was about to move forward in the direction indicated by that thought.
However, at this moment!
Something strange happened!
A dark blue, almost transparent figure, without any warning, slowly rose from the darkness below and to the side like a ghost, and appeared in the field of vision of Lin Yan and Huanhuan!
That’s a… rather large jellyfish-shaped Pokémon!
Its canopy exhibited a near-perfect, transparent, glass-like texture, with a faint hint of intricate veins within, like a delicate work of art. Dozens of slender, graceful tentacles dangled from the canopy’s edges. These tentacles were also nearly transparent, yet in the murky depths of the ocean, they emitted a faint, blue fluorescence, like star fragments.
The most eye-catching thing was its “eyes”. It didn’t have eyes in the traditional sense, but underneath the umbrella, near the center, there were two clusters of dark blue light spots that shone with wisdom, staring straight at Lin Yan and Huanhuan!
[Holy crap! What the hell?! I was so scared!]“What…what kind of Pokémon is this? Is it unique to the deep sea? It’s so beautiful!”
[Transparent?! Glowing?! This is… an agate jellyfish?! That’s wrong. The agate jellyfish in the illustrated guide aren’t this big, and they’re not this… spiritual, right?][Warning! Warning! There are no weaklings in the deep sea! Streamers, beware!][This jellyfish feels… a little different. It seems… it’s observing the host?]The audience in the live broadcast room instantly became nervous! The sudden appearance of unknown Pokémon, especially in this SSS-level deep-sea restricted area, is enough to make anyone’s scalp tingle!
Lin Yan’s pupils also shrank slightly. He immediately protected Menghuan behind him. His right hand had quietly grasped the Poké Ball at his waist, ready to fight at any time.
The scanning function of the “Deep Sea Walker” system was activated instantly, but the information fed back was extremely limited.
[Ding! Unknown aquatic Pokémon signal detected! ][Energy Level: Extremely High (Unable to Determine Precisely)][Data Match: Suspected variant or unknown subspecies of Agate Jellyfish, Danger Level: Unknown!]Unable to accurately determine?! Unknown subspecies?!
Lin Yan’s heart trembled. This jellyfish was definitely not simple!
However, to his surprise, this huge jellyfish, which exuded a mysterious aura, did not show any hostility.
It just floated there quietly, the two points of intelligent light looking at Lin Yan and Menghuan. After a moment, it slowly… stretched out its longest tentacle that was flashing with faint blue fluorescence, pointing to… the direction that Lin Yan had just sensed, the direction that Kyogre’s thoughts had guided!
Immediately afterwards, a gentle and clear mental fluctuation flowed into Lin Yan’s sea of consciousness like a trickle of water.
“Outsiders… holding… someone recognized by the Ocean God…”
“I… obey… the orders of Lord Kyogre…”
“Lead…you…to…’the place of trial’…”
It’s intermittent, but the meaning is very clear!
Lin Yan was stunned!
A guide sent by Kyogre? !
He immediately lowered his guard and tentatively responded with telepathic resonance: “Are you… sent by Kyogre to help us?”
“Om…” The umbrella of the giant agate jellyfish (let’s call it that) vibrated slightly, as if expressing affirmation. The two points of wisdom light softened a lot.
“I… am… the Deep Sea Messenger… the Agate Spirit…”
“Please… follow me…”
After saying that, it turned its body gracefully, and the dozens of fluorescent tentacles slid through the water like a dancer’s skirt, swimming slowly in that direction, and looking back from time to time, as if signaling Lin Yan to follow.
【!!!!!!!!!!!!】
[Holy crap! Sent by Kyogre?! Officially certified guide NPC?!][Agate Spirit? This name sounds very impressive! It’s definitely a rare elite monster!][Pretty cool! This is the prettiness of a Legendary Pokémon! Even after leaving, everything is clearly arranged for you!][I take back what I said earlier, Poseidon really loves the anchor!][Deep Sea Messenger… I love this setting! ][Host! Hurry up! This is VIP treatment!][Suddenly, I feel like the SSS-level restricted area isn’t so scary anymore… It’s different when a big boss is watching over you!]The audience in the livestream room was completely boiling with excitement! This reversal happened so quickly! Just a moment ago, he was still worried about whether he would encounter a powerful enemy, and the next second, he became the guide chosen by the gods! Looking at the entire world, I’m afraid only Lin Yan can get this kind of treatment! Countless comments of amazement, envy, and jokes poured out like a tide, almost blowing up the screen!
Lin Yan was also at a loss for words, his feelings towards Kyogre becoming even more complicated. The ocean god, seemingly majestic and aloof, was surprisingly…kind and thoughtful?
“Meow!” Menghuan, apparently understanding the situation, curiously approached the Agate Spirit, seemingly intrigued by its fluorescent glow. The Agate Spirit also waved its tentacles in a friendly manner, showing no repulsion.
“It seems we’ve got an unexpected guide for our deep-sea journey.” Lin Yan smiled at the camera, his tone much more relaxed. “Everyone, follow closely! Let’s see where this ‘Spirit of Agate’ will take us!”
After saying that, he signaled Menghuan to follow. One person and one pet, they followed the elegant and mysterious blue figure and accelerated towards the endless darkness!
Led by the Agate Spirit, they soon entered a…strange area they had never seen before.
This is an extremely magnificent underwater canyon!
On either side were cliffs so steep they looked as if they had been cut by a knife or an axe. Their height was unknown, stretching upwards and downwards into endless darkness. Clinging to the cliffs were countless strange, luminous creatures!
Some resemble giant, iridescent colonies of tube worms, swaying gently with the current and emitting a soft orange-yellow glow.
Some are clusters of crystal-like exotic plants, rooted in the cracks of the rocks. Their branches and leaves are like ice sculptures, emitting a cool blue-purple glow.
Further out, huge coral reefs of various shapes rise and fall, forming underwater forests. These corals are not dead, but are covered with a flowing film of light that flickers like breathing, casting a dreamlike light on the entire canyon!
Occasionally, you can see some deep-sea Pokémon you have never seen before, shuttling between the glowing plants and coral reefs.
There are ancient fish Pokémon with huge bodies and thick rock shells covering their backs, like moving mountains.
There are groups of water-type Pokémon with slender, transparent bodies that look like ghostly ribbons.
There are also some that cannot even be judged by common sense. They seem to be a combination of light and darkness, appearing and disappearing in the depths of the canyon.
“Oh my God…” Lin Yan was also shocked by the scene before him and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
While following the Agate Spirit, he held up the camera, trying his best to present this magnificent and mysterious scene to the audience.
“Did you see that? This is the true face of the depths of the SSS-level restricted area! These luminous plants and creatures provide the only light source for this seabed that never sees sunlight year-round…”
“Based on the system’s preliminary analysis, that tubular luminous creature appears to be an ancient life form that relies on geothermal energy for survival. It’s extremely rare!”
“And those crystal plants. The light they emit contains a faint healing energy that seems to be able to purify the surrounding water…”
“The big fish that just swam past, judging by its size and energy fluctuations, is probably no less than A-level! The deep sea truly is home to hidden dragons and crouching tigers!”
Lin Yan relied on the knowledge granted by the system and his own observation skills to continue his explanation. His voice was calm and professional, peeling back the veil of mystery of this unknown world layer by layer before the audience.
This is not just about showing off his knowledge, but also about fulfilling his previous promise to convey the wonder and reality of this world to more people.
[It’s so beautiful! Is this scenery really on Earth?!][I declare, this is the scene from my dream! It’s so dreamy!][Those glowing plants… I really want to dig some up and use them as night lights at home… (Dangerous statement)][Stop! Didn’t you hear what the host said? These are all part of the ecosystem!][The host knows so much! He’s like a walking Pokémon encyclopedia and geologist!][This is the quality of a top anchor! Not only does he have the ability, but he also has the knowledge! ]Thank you, host! We saw such a shocking scene! Protecting the environment is urgent!
The Agate Spirit (?) swims so gracefully! It feels so safe following her!
The audience was completely immersed in this bizarre underwater wonder. Lin Yan’s commentary opened their eyes, giving them a whole new understanding of the deep sea. Their previous nervousness had been replaced by intense curiosity and awe for nature.
In this way, guided by the Agate Spirit, they traveled through this mysterious underwater canyon for quite a while. The canyon’s terrain became increasingly complex, and the surrounding energy fluctuations became increasingly…active.
Finally, the speed of the Agate Spirit slowed down.
In front of them, at the end of the canyon, appeared an…huge underwater cave entrance!
This cave, rather than a “hole,” is more like a hollowed-out mountain! The entrance is hundreds of meters high and immensely wide, and the rocks around the edge of the cavern have a strange, smooth texture, as if eroded by some kind of energy over the years.
What was most striking was that, emanating from the pitch-black depths of the cavern, was an indescribable, mysterious light, a mixture of faint blue and silver. The light wasn’t glaring, but rather carried a warm and majestic aura, as if some astonishing treasure was hidden deep within the cavern!
The Agate Spirit stopped in front of the cave entrance. It turned around, and the two points of wisdom light looked at Lin Yan, and the spiritual fluctuations came again:
“The place of trial… has arrived…”
“There are… opportunities… but also… dangers…”
“I… can only lead you here…”
“The road ahead… you need to… make your own way…”
“Please be careful with it……”
After saying that, the Agate Spirit “bowed” slightly towards Lin Yan, and dozens of fluorescent tentacles drew an elegant arc in the water. Then, its body seemed to merge into the sea water, slowly fading, and finally completely disappeared into the darkness.
Only Lin Yan and Menghuan were left, facing the huge cave that was emitting mysterious light and filled with unknown dangers.
[We’re here?! So soon?!][Holy crap! This cave! It’s so huge! What’s in there?!][A mysterious light! Could it be… the Heart of the Tide?! No, Kyogre said the time is not right yet!][Whatever it is! I feel like there’s something good in it! Streamer, go for it!][Miss Agate is gone? Woohoo, my guiding fairy…][‘Opportunity and danger coexist’… Classic line here! High risk, high reward!][Streamer, the test is here! Show your resolve to take on Kyogre (Crystal Core) alone!][Don’t be scared! Come on in! I’ve already got a little stool ready for you to watch the show!]Chapter 20: A Place of Testing? A Trap Corridor! (Old Version)
The light and shadow flow, and when you step in, it feels like you are passing through an invisible film.
The light inside the cave does not come from a single source, but diffuses from deep in the rock wall, from above the dome, and even from cracks in the ground. The interweaving of dark blue and silver white outlines the outline of an interior space that is vast beyond imagination.
Air… No, there is no air here, only cold and silent sea water, but the light brings a strange sense of “breathing”, as if the entire cave is a huge living organism.
“Gulp…”
A slight sound of bubbles came from the side of Lin Yan’s diving suit helmet, and it was particularly clear in this almost eerie silence.
He steadied himself immediately and swept the powerful searchlight around.
As far as the eye could see, a vast passageway, wide enough for several giant ships to pass side by side, with no visible top or bottom. The ground beneath my feet seemed to be some kind of black rock, polished to an extremely smooth finish, yet reflecting a cold luster under the faint blue-silver light. The rock walls on either side were equally smooth as mirrors, with no visible signs of artificial excavation, as if formed naturally, yet with an incredibly regular pattern.
“The environment here…” Lin Yan’s voice came clearly into the live broadcast room through the quantum signal transmitter, “…very strange. The energy concentration is extremely high, yet unusually stable. Unlike the violent area where Kyogre was before, it has a kind of… ancient and solemn feeling that has been accumulated for countless years.”
[Holy crap! They’re inside! This interior is incredibly spacious!][This lighting effect! This scene! The budget is burning! It feels like a sci-fi blockbuster!][Anchor, be careful! The Agate Spirit says, ‘Danger lies within!’][This floor… is a bit too slippery, isn’t it? I’m not going to miss a step, am I?][Don’t be such a pessimist! Why does it feel a bit like… a dungeon entrance in a game?][Dungeon entrance +1, I feel like a monster will spawn in the next second!][Meow!] Menghuan curiously circled around Lin Yan, tentatively touching the smooth ground with its little paws and tilting its head, as if it was also feeling the unusualness of this place.
Lin Yan did not rush forward, but instead activated the comprehensive scanning function of the “Deep Sea Walker” and at the same time opened the perception range of the mind resonance to the maximum, alert to any possible unusual movements.
[Beep! Scanning the environment… The energy field is stable, no clear life signals detected… Warning! High-density energy nodes detected! Distributed on the ground in the passage ahead and on the rock walls on both sides!][Warning! Periodic energy fluctuations detected! Suspected trigger trap mechanism!]The system’s warning sounds rang out one after another!
Almost at the same moment the warning sounded!
“Shhhhhhhhhhh!”
No signs at all!
The black ground in front of Lin Yan and Huanhuan suddenly cracked into dozens of narrow cracks! Then, sharp crystal spikes, several meters long and gleaming with a cold blue light, suddenly shot out from the ground like the fangs of a venomous snake! Their speed was astonishing, and their angles were extremely tricky, practically blocking all possible routes forward!
This sudden attack is enough to penetrate any unsuspecting intruder in an instant!
[Fuck! It’s coming! It’s coming right now!][Oh my god! A spike trap?! How could this be so classic!][I’m so scared! Streamer, get out of the way! ! ! ][This density! This speed! How can I dodge?! It’s over!]【Dream! Protect the anchor!】
The audience in the livestream room instantly felt their hearts leap into their throats! The dense, dark blue crystal spikes practically filled the entire screen, their terrifying penetrating power seemingly piercing through it! Countless viewers subconsciously held their breath, their eyes widening!
However, facing this fatal situation, Lin Yan’s reaction was faster than expected!
Even before the system warning sounded, he had already sensed the hidden murderous intent thanks to the strong intuition brought about by the spiritual resonance with Fantasy!
“Dream! Left!”
Without even a second to think, Lin Yan roared, his body swerving to the left like a spring! At the same time, he grabbed Menghuan, who was also quick to react, with his right hand!
A pink light flashed on Huanhuan’s body, and a soft but powerful mental force instantly enveloped the two of them, not only offsetting the resistance of the sea water, but also acting like a booster, allowing their dodging speed to increase to a higher level again!
Swish!
The figures of a man and his pet, as if teleporting, narrowly brushed against the sharp edges of a few crystal thorns at the edge and flashed to the relatively safe area on the left!
Rumble…
After the crystal thorn was fully ejected, it did not retract immediately, but stayed there, flashing a dangerous light, as if mocking the intruder’s recklessness.
It was not until this moment that the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room erupted like a volcano!
[Holy crap! ! ! ! ! !][This reaction speed?! Is this something a human can do?!][Did I just… teleport?! Was I seeing things?!][It’s a dream! It’s a dreamlike telekinetic acceleration! Oh my god! This combination! Absolutely amazing!][I was so scared I almost threw my phone! This host is awesome! Fantasy is awesome! (Crackling)][Who just said the streamer was finished? Does your face hurt? This is how a top player operates!][This is a very pretentious act, I give it full marks! He remained calm in the face of danger and commanded with composure! So cool!]Countless exclamations and praises instantly flooded the screen! The visual impact and psychological stimulation brought by that critical dodge sent adrenaline soaring through the entire audience! Lin Yan’s calm command and dreamlike, telepathic coordination exemplified the word “high-level” to the fullest!
“Huh…” Lin Yan exhaled lightly and adjusted his breathing. There was no panic on his face, but instead a hint of understanding.
“It seems the ‘appetizer’ this Ocean God prepared for us is already quite ‘hardcore’.” He looked at the camera with a hint of amusement. “That was a crystal thorn trap triggered by pressure sensing. It has a huge coverage area and a very short reaction time. If Menghuan and I hadn’t sensed it in advance, I’m afraid…”
He didn’t say anything else, but the meaning was self-evident.
“Meow!” Menghuan rubbed Lin Yan’s arm. There was a hint of fear in her big eyes, but more of it was excitement and trust in her master.
[Appetizer?! This is an appetizer?! Poseidon’s taste is a bit strong!][The host is saying… there are even more ruthless things to come?!][What are you afraid of?! The host and Menghuan are here! Trap? That’s called an experience pack!][Mind resonance + god-level reaction, this combination is absolutely trap-killing! ][Keep going! I can’t wait to see the next ‘surprise’!]The audience’s emotions were completely aroused, and their previous shock turned into strong anticipation.
Lin Yan nodded slightly, signaling Menghuan to follow. Once again, they cautiously explored forward, one by one. This time, they were even more cautious. Lin Yan raised his telepathic resonance to its maximum, carefully exploring every inch of the ground and walls.
Sure enough, not long after walking, a new “surprise” came!
“Buzz—buzz—”
Dense, honeycomb-like holes suddenly appeared on the mirror-smooth rock walls on both sides! The next second, beams of blazing white energy shot out from these holes like a rainstorm, interweaving into a deadly light net that enveloped Lin Yan and Menghuan in the center of the passage!
The temperature of these energy beams is extremely high. Wherever they pass, even the icy sea water seems to be vaporized instantly, making a “sizzling” sound!
[Again?! This time it’s a laser net?!][Holy crap! A 360-degree attack with no blind spots!][How can I dodge this?! It’s even more powerful than the ground spikes just now!][Host! Use the telekinetic barrier!][Can’t handle it? This energy intensity seems really high!]“Menghuan, it’s up to you! Let’s charge forward!” Lin Yan’s eyes focused, and instead of retreating, he gave the order to charge forward!
A gleam of light flashed in Menghuan’s eyes, and her pink body burst into an unprecedented brilliant light! It was no longer simply creating a shield, but rather highly compressing the enormous amount of mental power, forming a constantly rotating, high-speed, pink energy field around her body, like a gyroscope!
Sizzle, sizzle—!
The blazing white energy beam hit the rotating telekinetic force field and was instantly deflected, distorted, and even annihilated! The seemingly indestructible light net was actually torn open by the tiny body of Menghuan!
“Now!”
Lin Yan seized the opportunity and, under the cover of Huanhuan’s mental power, followed Huanhuan like an arrow and rushed through the area of death light net in an instant!
Behind them, energy beams were still sweeping wildly, but they could no longer threaten them in the slightest.
[Holy crap! Is this even possible?! A rotating telekinetic field?! Offense and defense all in one!][So cool! So dreamy! My Superman!][What a maneuver! What imagination! Is this how Legendary Pokémon battle?!]The host’s direction is amazing! The timing is so perfect!
[I declare this duo invincible! They’re not afraid of any traps!]My blood pressure was like a roller coaster! It was so thrilling!
The audience in the live broadcast room was once again shocked! The powerful strength displayed by Huanhuan and Lin Yan’s precise tactical judgment made them breathtaking! Having escaped the deadly trap twice in a row without any danger, the excitement in the live broadcast room reached a new peak!
“Well done, Menghuan!” Lin Yan couldn’t help but praise, and gently stroked Menghuan who was rubbing against him as if to ask for credit.
He looked at the still deep passage ahead, his eyes sharper. “It seems that this passage itself is a long test. It not only tests our strength, but also our coordination and adaptability.”
However, just as he finished speaking.
In the shadows of the passage ahead, several… twisted figures slowly emerged!
That seems to be… a few Pokémon?
But their shapes are chilling!
One of them had a rock-like body, supposedly heavy and steady, but now it was shrouded in a visible, ink-thick black mist! Where its eyes should have been, there were only two empty vortexes emitting a violent red light! Its limbs twisted unnaturally, making crackling sounds.
The other looked like some kind of flying Pokémon, its bat-like wings tattered and tattered, black slime constantly dripping from the edges. Its head hung low, revealing only rows of sharp, jagged teeth as it let out a low, frantic roar!
There was another one, smaller in size, floating like a jellyfish, but its originally transparent umbrella cover had become turbid. There seemed to be countless black shadows wriggling inside, and its tentacles were dancing wildly, emitting a heart-pounding negative energy!
There is no spirituality or gentleness that belongs to Pokémon in them, only pure madness and desire for destruction after being completely eroded by the power of darkness!
【What…what is that?!】
[Pokémon?! How did they become like this?! So scary!]“I know! That rock is… Geodude?! No! Is it a contaminated Geodude?!”
[That bat… is Golbat?! Oh my god! It looks so scary!][And that jellyfish… the agate jellyfish?! Are even the agate jellyfish contaminated?!]What’s that black energy coming from them?! It feels so evil!
[Anchor! Be careful! They seem to be losing their minds!]Is this the ‘danger’ the Agate Spirit was talking about?! A Pokémon ravaged by darkness?!
The comments in the livestream instantly shifted, the excitement replaced by a chill. These distorted, irrational Pokémon evoked a sense of oppression, even more intense than the traps before! Because they were once vibrant beings!
Lin Yan’s brows were also tightly furrowed.
“Corrupted by dark forces…” he muttered, a cold look flashing in his eyes. “Could the ‘ground of trials’ Kyogre mentioned be related to this dark force?”
Before he could think about it, the infected Pokémon had already discovered them!
“roar–!”
The corroded Geodude let out a roar unlike any living thing, suddenly ripping a massive rock from the wall and hurling it towards Lin Yan and Menghuan! Its speed and power far surpassed that of an ordinary Geodude!
At the same time, the corroded Golbat let out a shrill scream and opened its mucus-covered mouth. Sonic shock waves condensed with dark energy cut through it like sharp blades!
The eroded agate jellyfish suddenly retracted its umbrella, and dozens of black tentacles shot out like poisonous snakes, aiming directly at Lin Yan’s heart!
The three corroded Pokémon worked in perfect harmony and attacked fiercely, without holding back at all!
【Here they come! They attack!】
[So fast! So powerful! Is this really Geodude and Golbat?!][Host! Be careful with that jellyfish’s tentacles! They seem to be extremely poisonous!]【Dreamlike! Think of a solution quickly!】
[Defeat them? Or…purify them?]“Mew, control them first! Try not to use too much force!” Lin Yan made a quick judgment, a flicker of pity in his eyes. Although these Pokémon were corrupted, he could sense the faint pain and struggle deep within their souls. He didn’t want to destroy them outright.
“Meow!” Huanhuan received the order, and powerful spiritual power burst out from her small body!
Pink telekinesis surged out like a tide, and instantly condensed into several huge telekinetic palms in the air!
Bang!
The huge telekinetic palm accurately grabbed the falling rock and crushed it into powder with a fierce squeeze!
The other telekinetic palm blocked the front like a barrier, absorbing all the dark sound waves and eliminating them into nothingness!
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
More telekinetic tentacles, like flexible whips, met the dark tentacles of the agate jellyfish, wrapping and binding them one by one!
For a moment, Mew fought against three alone, and with his powerful super powers, he temporarily suppressed the three violent and eroded Pokémon!
[Strong! Too strong! Fantasy YYDS!][Is this the power of a mythical Pokémon?! Its control is maxed out!][The host is indeed kindhearted and still wants to show mercy.][But… this isn’t a solution, is it? The consumption of the dream is also very high!][Yeah, these polluted guys seem tireless! ]The audience marveled at the power of Dream, but also keenly discovered the problem.
Just as they expected, the three Pokémon bound by telekinesis not only didn’t stop struggling, but became even more frantic! Black energy surged from their bodies, and their power seemed to be continuously increasing!
The corroded little fist stone slammed into the telekinetic palm frantically, making a deafening sound!
The corroded Golbat continuously emits dark sound waves of higher frequencies, trying to interfere with Dream’s telekinesis!
Chapter 21: Powerful Pass! Mew? Mewtwo!!! (Old Version)
At this moment, the black gas on the eroded agate jellyfish tentacles became thicker and thicker, and even began to corrode the dreamy telekinetic tentacles!
“Meow…” Meow’s eyes gradually became solemn, and the light on his body that maintained the output of telekinesis also began to flicker slightly. It was obvious that controlling three violent Pokémon with ever-increasing power at the same time was extremely exhausting for him.
“Hold on, Dream!” Lin Yan’s eyes flashed, and he immediately took out a potion emitting soft green light from the system space.
[System prompt: Successfully exchanged for “Advanced Recovery Potion”, consuming 1000 secret points!]“Go!” Lin Yan threw the potion in the direction of the dream without any hesitation!
The potion transformed into a stream of green light in the air and precisely merged into Dream’s body.
The light on Huanhuan’s body became bright again, and the consumed physical and mental strength was instantly replenished. The originally unstable telekinesis control became stable again!
[Here it comes! The money power of krypton gold players! ][Advanced Recovery Potion! Another 1000 points! The host is really rich!]【Products from this system are guaranteed to be top quality! The results are immediate!】
[But… just taking drugs isn’t a long-term solution! These monsters seem indestructible!][Anchor! We have to find a way to completely solve these problems!]Lin Yan certainly understood this. While directing Mew to continue controlling it, he quickly turned his mind and carefully observed the three corroded Pokémon.
“Dark power… erosion… loss of sanity…” He muttered to himself, his sharp eyes sweeping over their frantically struggling bodies. “They seem completely dominated by negative emotions and a desire for destruction… But, since it’s erosion, there must be a source, and there must also be… a weakness!”
His gaze finally landed on the corroded Golbat. The dark sonic waves it emitted seemed more like…an unconscious, painful hiss?
Wait…sound?
A light bulb went off in Lin Yan’s head!
He remembered that when he was looking up system information before, he had seen some records about ancient civilizations using special sound waves to soothe violent creatures and even conduct spiritual communication.
Although these Pokémon eroded by dark forces have lost their sanity, do they still retain their most basic biological instincts and perception of specific frequencies?
“Menghuan, use mental shock to interfere with the sound waves of Zubat, but don’t interrupt it!” Lin Yan immediately ordered.
“Meow?” Although Menghuan was puzzled, he still did as he was told and sent out a precise mental shock, briefly disrupting Zubat’s dark sound waves.
At the moment when a hint of chaos appeared in the dark sound waves, Lin Yan caught an extremely faint trace of sadness and fear mixed in the chaos… a primitive cry?
“Sure enough!” Lin Yan’s eyes lit up. “They haven’t completely lost their consciousness. They’re just suppressed by the power of darkness! They react to specific sound frequencies!”
“In that case…” Lin Yan raised his lips with a confident arc, “Then let’s try this!”
He raised his wrist and activated a special function module on the live broadcast device – this was the “multi-frequency sound wave generator” he had previously exchanged for secret points. He originally intended to use it to study and imitate the calls of Pokémon for communication, but he didn’t expect it to come in handy here!
“System, analyze the original chirping frequency just captured, simulate and amplify it, and superimpose a soothing sound wave spectrum!”
[Beep! Frequency analysis in progress…Sound wave simulation generation in progress…Soothing spectrum overlay complete!]The next second, a gentle special sound wave, like the gurgling of water but with a hint of ethereal bell sounds, slowly spread out with Lin Yan’s live broadcast equipment as the center!
The sound was not loud, and was even a little soft, but it had a strange penetrating power that acted directly on the spiritual level!
【???】
What is the host doing? Is he playing music?
[This sound… is so nice… I feel a little sleepy…][No way? Doing this during a battle?][Could it be… this is the host’s secret weapon?! Sonic attack?!]The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned, not understanding what Lin Yan meant by this action.
However, what happened next made everyone open their eyes wide and their mouths open, and they could hardly believe what they saw!
The three corroded Pokémon that were struggling frantically and violently suddenly froze after hearing this special sound wave!
The black mist on their bodies began to surge and fluctuate violently, as if they had met their nemesis!
The violent red light in their eyes began to weaken and flicker at a speed visible to the naked eye!
“Woo…” The corroded Fistuln stopped striking and made a whimpering sound, its twisted limbs seeming to want to return to their original shape.
“Hiss…” The corroded Golbat no longer made a shrill scream. Its tattered wings trembled slightly, and a hint of confusion seemed to appear in its chaotic eyes.
“…” The corroded agate jellyfish also stopped attacking, its dark tentacles slowly drooped, and under the turbid umbrella, the light spots representing the eyes seemed to have a hint of… clarity?
efficient!
Lin Yan was delighted and immediately increased the output power of the sound waves!
The gentle and strange sound waves, like a gentle spring breeze and rain, constantly wash away their hearts that have been eroded by darkness.
It was visible to the naked eye that the sticky black air wrapped around them began to peel off and dissipate in the sea water bit by bit, just like melting ice and snow!
The red light in their eyes completely faded, revealing their original pupil color. Although they still showed deep fatigue and a hint of…fear, the madness and tyranny had disappeared without a trace!
“Success…” Lin Yan looked at the Pokémon in front of him that were gradually returning to normal, breathed a long sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
【!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!】
[Holy crap! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !][Purified?! Purified just like that?! With sound?!][Oh my god! Is this even possible?! Is this host a god?!][What was that sound just now?! It’s incredible! It directly dispelled the evil energy?!][I was stunned! I was truly stunned! This was ten thousand times more shocking than just defeating them!][The host is awesome! ! ! ! (I can’t think of any other word besides awesome)][Wow, seeing them return to normal, I’m kind of moved…][The anchor is not only talented, but also so kind. I love it! ]The livestream was abuzz! If the previous trap challenge was a show of skill, then this time, Lin Yan effortlessly purified the eroded Pokémon, displaying wisdom and special methods that directly pushed the atmosphere in the livestream to a frenzy!
This is no longer simply “strong”, this is simply “godlike”!
Countless gifts and rewards streaked across the screen like a meteor shower, and the audience expressed their excitement and admiration in the most direct way! This unprecedented purification method brought them an unparalleled shock!
The few Pokémon that had returned to normal all looked somewhat weak and dazed. They looked at Lin Yan and Menghuan, their eyes no longer filled with hostility, but instead with a hint of… gratitude and dependence?
Geodude shook his head and gently touched Lin Yan’s leg.
Golbat folded its wings, landed not far away, and let out a few gentle chirps.
The agate jellyfish floated to Dreamy and gently touched it with its tentacles, as if to express gratitude.
Lin Yan looked at them and felt something in his heart.
“It seems that the source of this dark power lies deeper in this cave.” He said to the camera, his eyes becoming more profound. “And these rescued Pokémon may be able to provide us with some clues, or even… help.”
He tried to use telepathy to convey friendly thoughts to these newly recovered Pokémon, and asked them if they were willing to go deep together to find the source of the darkness that was eroding them.
Unexpectedly, after receiving Lin Yan’s thoughts, these Pokémon nodded without any hesitation and gathered around Lin Yan and Menghuan, as if they regarded them as their new support.
“Very good.” Lin Yan nodded with satisfaction. “Then our team has grown a little bit.”
He adjusted the camera to include himself, Mew, and the three Pokémon that had returned to normal following behind him.
“Dear audience, the exploration of the trial ground has just begun.”
“Ahead, there are not only unknown traps and dangers, but perhaps there are more Pokémon like them, tortured by dark forces, waiting to be rescued.”
“And the source of all this, the secret hidden in the deepest depths…”
Lin Yan’s voice paused slightly, his eyes penetrating the deep darkness, as if he had seen the unknown end.
“We…are here!”
He didn’t hesitate after he finished speaking. With Meng Meng and this strange “Pokémon team” behind him, he resolutely headed towards the deepest part of the cave, which was emitting a faint blue and silver light, but was also filled with endless darkness and the unknown…
keep going!
Chapter 22: Extreme Evolution! Mega Mewtwo!!! (Old Version)
Lin Yan took a deep breath, and the sea water around him seemed to ripple slightly due to the slight ripples in his mood.
He continued to advance into the depths of the cave where dark blue and silver-white light intertwined, carrying Menghuan, as well as Geodude, Golbat, and Agate Jellyfish, who followed closely behind him with eyes full of hope for the unknown and trust in Lin Yan.
The previous passage was full of traces of artificial carvings and deadly traps, but now, the style of the area they stepped into suddenly changed.
The rock walls were no longer smoothly cut, but instead took on a more ancient, natural, rugged texture. Countless tiny, luminous microorganisms clung to them, illuminating this deep-sea cavern like a star-studded night sky, creating a dreamlike illusion. The water flowed even faster here, carrying an indescribable force, as if some immense being were breathing deep within the cavern.
“Do you feel it, Menghuan?” Lin Yan communicated with Menghuan through spiritual resonance, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
“Meow…” Menghuan responded softly, its pink head nodding as its large, azure eyes scanned its surroundings warily. It, too, felt a surge of powerful, vast, yet not malicious, energy surging from the front like a tidal wave, washing over its perception.
Even Geodude, Golbat, and Agate Jellyfish, who had just regained consciousness, seemed uneasy and instinctively moved closer to Lin Yan and Menghuan. Although they lacked the ability to resonate with each other, their instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm allowed them to clearly sense the terrifying power ahead.
[Hiss… Why does the atmosphere feel even more tense than before?][The trap ahead is obvious, but the pressure of this invisible energy is truly terrifying!][Host, are you sure you want to keep going? I’m a little panicked…][What are you panicking about?! The host and the Dream Boss are here, there’s nothing to be afraid of!][+1, Fortune is sought through risk! There must be a great treasure!][The light is getting brighter and brighter, it feels like we’re almost there!]The audience in the livestream also sensed the change in atmosphere. Through Lin Yan’s first-person lens, the increasingly brighter and purer light, along with the slight distortion at the edges of the lens due to the powerful energy interference, indicated that they were about to arrive at an unusual location.
After walking forward for about a hundred meters, we turned around a huge natural rock pillar.
The scene before him made Lin Yan’s pupils shrink suddenly, and the live broadcast room suddenly became silent, as if everyone had lost their breath!
An extremely huge natural cave appeared before them.
In the center of the cave, there is a crystal suspended, the magnificence of which is hard to describe in words!
It was at least the size of a small truck, and its entire body was radiant with an indefinable brilliance, as if it had blended all the colors in the world! The light was not dazzling, but rather gentle and smooth like jade, yet it contained a terrifying energy that seemed to be able to create the world!
Surrounding the crystal, the seawater took on a viscous texture, like liquid energy. Countless tiny points of colored light sank and swirled within it, forming a slowly flowing vortex of energy. An irresistible attraction, as if drawn from the depths of the soul, emanated from the crystal, drawing every being that approached it.
Geodude sat down with a thud, his rocky face filled with shock. Golbat folded its wings and bowed its head in awe. The Agate Jellyfish’s tentacles also stopped waving, hovering quietly, the light on its canopy flickering violently.
Even Menghuan opened her eyes wide at this moment, her little face full of surprise and… a hint of desire?
[What…what did I see?! What the hell is this?!]Grass! This is a special effect! No, it’s not a special effect! Is this real?!
[This crystal…isn’t it too big and dazzling?! I feel like my eyes are pregnant!][This energy fluctuation… My detector is going to explode! Streamer! Quick! What is this?!][It’s a treasure! It’s definitely the ultimate treasure!][Is this the end of the ‘ground of trials’ the Agate Spirit spoke of?!][This attraction…I feel like I’m being sucked in even through the screen!]The livestream room was in an uproar! After a brief moment of silence, a barrage of comments flooded the screen! Everyone was stunned by the gigantic and mysterious multicolored crystal before them! Its beauty and power surpassed everyone’s imagination! This was definitely the most incredible sight they had ever witnessed since following Lin Yan’s livestream! Countless tips and gifts instantly flooded the screen, expressing the audience’s indescribable excitement!
Lin Yan stood still, forcibly suppressing the throbbing in his heart. He could clearly feel the attraction, not just physical, but also a spiritual call. This crystal seemed to have life, conveying some ancient and grand message to him.
“Menghuan, protect everyone. I’ll take a closer look.” Lin Yan said in a deep voice, his eyes sharp as a knife. He was not dazzled by the magnificent sight. The more beautiful something is, the greater the danger it often brings.
“Meow!” Menghuan immediately understood, and the pink telekinetic barrier quietly unfolded, covering the three Pokémon behind her, and at the same time, she was ready to support Lin Yan at any time.
Lin Yan took a slow step and approached the huge colorful crystal.
The closer he got, the stronger the attraction became. At the same time, he also felt a gentle but majestic consciousness, like a sleeping ancient god slowly awakening.
There was no hostility, only a kind of… scrutiny and… expectation?
Lin Yan stopped about ten meters away from the crystal. The energy fluctuations at this distance were already extremely shocking. If it weren’t for the protection of the “Deep Sea Walker” diving equipment, ordinary people would probably be torn to pieces by this energy torrent in an instant.
He closed his eyes and used all his strength to activate “mind resonance”!
This time, he wasn’t trying to communicate with a specific Pokémon, but rather trying to establish a connection with this crystal that contained tremendous energy and ancient consciousness!
Lin Yan’s consciousness seemed to be instantly pulled into a colorful ocean of energy! Countless ancient, broken, yet powerful images and fragments of information flooded into his mind like a tide!
It was a memory from the distant past… the birth of the ocean… the evolution of life… countless ancient Pokémon, incredibly powerful, multiplied and battled within this deep sea, ultimately converging their essence of power within it…
[The anchor closed his eyes! What is he doing? ][Telepathy! Is he communicating with that giant crystal?!][Holy crap! This is communication?! Is the host a humanoid Pokémon?!][This is…too cool! Is it okay to talk to an energy being?][Look! The crystal seems to be reacting!]As Lin Yan’s mind resonated, the light of the huge multicolored crystal suddenly became brighter! The colors on the surface flowed faster, as if responding to Lin Yan’s exploration!
A clear thought, transcending the barriers of time and space, was transmitted directly to the depths of Lin Yan’s consciousness:
**“…Ancient…Gift…Evolution…Trial…Qualification…”**
The information is intermittent, but the core meaning is extremely clear!
This crystal is the crystallization of the power of countless ancient, powerful water-based or ocean-related Pokémon, voluntarily left behind at the end of their lives or when they left this place! It is the embodiment of the power of the ocean and the inheritance of the ancient will!
Its core function is “evolution”!
It can inspire the deepest potential in the Pokémon that come into contact with it, guiding them to break through the shackles of life and gain unimaginable evolutionary power!
But this is not without a price. This power is too great. If a Pokémon whose will is not strong enough and potential is not deep enough absorbs it by force, it is very likely to be blown up by this power and its consciousness will be destroyed!
Therefore, it is both a gift and a test!
Lin Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of shock, but more of a sudden realization!
“I see…” He muttered to himself, his voice tinged with a barely perceptible excitement, “The crystallization of power left behind by ancient Pokémon… the power of evolution…”
He turned around and looked at the live camera, and also at the dream behind him.
“Everyone, this crystal is the essence of power left by ancient Pokémon. I call it the ‘Heart of the Tide’!” Lin Yan’s voice came clearly into the live broadcast room. “It has the power to guide Pokémon’s evolution! An evolution… a powerful evolution beyond the ordinary!”
【!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!】
[Evolution?! Did I hear that right?! Evolving Pokémon?!][An evolution beyond the norm?! Could it be… what I’m thinking of?! (This doesn’t exist in this world, but I’m just imagining it.)][Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! This wave is huge! Really huge!][Dream! Streamer! Is it a dream?! Do you want to make Dream evolve?!][Legendary Pokémon can evolve?! This isn’t scientific! But it’s fantastical! I love it!][Oh my god! Am I about to witness history?! The evolution of a mythical Pokémon?!]The audience in the livestream went completely wild! For anyone familiar with the concept of Pokémon (even if this world didn’t have the original game, similar concepts certainly existed), the word “evolution” meant a leap in power and a change in form! And the target was a mythical Pokémon like Mew! It was like pouring a bucket of water into a simmering pot of oil; it exploded instantly!
Lin Yan’s gaze fell on Menghuan gently and firmly.
“Dream,” he relayed the Heart of Tides’ message, including the potentially enormous risks, to it through telepathic resonance. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it may also be accompanied by danger. This power is enormous, and I don’t know if you can withstand it. What is your wish?”
He had no intention of forcing her. While evolution was tempting, Dream’s safety came first. If Dream didn’t want to, he wouldn’t force her.
The dreamy blue eyes looked at Lin Yan, then at the Heart of the Tide, which exuded endless temptation. It could feel the power contained in the crystal, which made it instinctively desire it, but also made it feel a little pressure.
But, he only hesitated for a moment.
A glimmer of determination flashed in Menghuan’s eyes! He sensed Lin Yan’s anticipation, the awe of his companions (Geolith and the others), and even more so, the deep desire within himself to become even stronger!
“Mee!!”
A clear and resolute cry! Menghuan nodded, her small body floating in front of Lin Yan, rubbing her head against his cheek, conveying an extremely clear thought: “I want to… give it a try! For you! And for… myself!”
Lin Yan felt warm in his heart, and then he was filled with great passion!
Good! You are worthy of being his partner!
“Okay!” Lin Yan nodded heavily, his eyes full of trust and encouragement, “Then go! I believe in you! No matter what the result is, I will be here!”
He took a few steps back to leave enough space for Mew, and at the same time signaled Geodude and the others to step back as well, while maintaining the telekinetic barrier.
Everyone’s attention, including the hundreds of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, was now focused on the little pink figure!
Dream took a deep breath, its azure eyes reflecting the brilliant light of the multicolored crystals. Without hesitation, it transformed into a stream of pink light, slowly approaching the gigantic heart of the tide!
Buzz buzz buzz——!
As the dream approached, the light of the Heart of the Tide grew even brighter! The surrounding energy vortex suddenly accelerated, emitting a deep and majestic roar! It was as if a sleeping dragon was about to awaken!
Finally, the dreamy little claws gently touched the surface of the Heart of the Tide!
In an instant!
boom!!!!!!
Unimaginable colorful light, like a flood bursting through a dam, gushed out from the heart of the tide, instantly engulfing the dreamy and petite body!
The entire cave was filled with this dazzling light! Nothing could be seen except a vast expanse of white!
Only that terrifying energy wave, sweeping across the entire space like a tsunami, caused Lin Yan’s telekinetic barrier to shake violently, making the Geodudes and the others tremble in fear!
【here we go!!!】
Light! Such a strong light! My eyes!!!
[Dreamlike!!! Hold on!!!]This energy… is terrifying! Can dreams really work?! (Rubbing hands nervously)
[I believe in Mew! It’s a mythical Pokémon!][Witness the miracle! Witness the miracle! ! ! !]The livestream was completely flooded with “!!!” and barrages of prayers and encouragement! The hearts of all the viewers were in their throats! They couldn’t see what was happening within the light, only the increasingly terrifying energy fluctuations that gave them a sense of the difficulty and extraordinary nature of this evolution!
Lin Yan clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from exertion! His mind resonated with Huanhuan, and he could sense the center of the light. Huanhuan was being washed away by unimaginable energy!
Pain! Struggle! But more importantly… an unyielding will and a desire for a new life!
“Hold on, Dream!” Lin Yan shouted in his heart!
The energy fluctuations in the center of the light became more and more intense, as if something was gestating and breaking through!
Faintly, in the dazzling light, one seems to see an outline changing!
The originally petite body is slowly stretching and growing bigger!
The lines of the body seem to become smoother and more powerful!
The originally soft pink color seemed to have become even more… vivid? More… sacred? After absorbing the multicolored light,
Time seemed to become incomparably long at this moment.
Every second feels like a century.
The audience in the live broadcast room didn’t dare to breathe, staring at the still dazzling white light!
The violent energy fluctuations began to slowly calm down.
The dazzling multicolored light also began to fade away like the tide…
A brand new figure, emitting indescribable majesty and power, gradually appeared in the center of the cave where the light had faded!
Its size is much larger than the previous Fantasy, close to the height of an adult.
The main color of its body is still pink, but this pink is deeper and purer, as if it contains the sea of stars. Its tail has become longer and thicker, full of streamlined beauty.
Its eyes are no longer just full of innocence and curiosity, but also contain a kind of profound wisdom and majesty that looks down on everything!
A wave of superpowers far exceeding the previous ones, as vast as the ocean, spread out like ripples with it as the center, making the surrounding sea water surrender and stop flowing!
Super dreamy!
While this world might not have such a title, this was undoubtedly a great leap in the life level that Dream had achieved after absorbing the power of the Heart of the Tide! A super evolution that surpassed the limit!
【!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!】
【It’s out…it’s out!!!】
[Holy shit!!!!!! This… is this a dream?!][Awesome! Awesome! This form! This aura! This oppressive feeling! ! !][Super dreamy! Absolutely super dreamy! ][I cried! I was so excited! He really evolved! And he’s so handsome!][This strength… feels more than ten times stronger than before! ][Host! Quick! Let’s see the super dreamy attributes!][Invincible! Truly invincible! Who can stop this?!]“Congratulations, Menghuan…” Lin Yan said softly, his voice filled with relief and pride, “No, I should call you now…”
He paused slightly as he looked at Super Dream’s eyes, which were full of wisdom and majesty, and the power hidden in his body that seemed to be able to shake the heavens and the earth.
“Mega Mewtwo!!
Chapter 23: Return from the Deep Sea, Invitation to the Legend, Whisper of the Forest (Old Version)
Though the light within the cave had faded, the vast and majestic supernatural power emanating from Super Dream still permeated every inch of the space, as if it were a physical entity. Geodude, Golbat, and Agate Jellyfish had already huddled in awe behind Lin Yan’s telekinetic barrier, not daring to breathe. Their gazes toward Super Dream were filled with instinctive submission and… a hint of curiosity.
Lin Yan met Super Dream’s deep and wise gaze with a bright and sincere smile. He could clearly feel that after the evolution of Dream, the power level had undergone a drastic transformation, but the spiritual bond that was closely connected to him had not weakened, but had become more solid and deeper.
“How do you feel?” Lin Yan asked with concern through telepathy.
Super Dream floated gently, feeling the surging power within. It tilted its head slightly, its already spiritual eyes now seeming to hold the movement of stars. A gentle yet powerful thought came back: “It feels… better than ever. The power… is strong, but… controllable. Thank you, Lin Yan.”
This “Lin Yan” was clearer and smoother than before, with an indescribable sense of maturity.
Lin Yan’s heart was stirred, and he nodded: “I should thank you for trusting me and accepting this trial.”
He turned his gaze to the Tidal Heart, which had dimmed considerably but still radiated a multicolored afterglow. It seemed to have shrunk due to the immense energy consumption, its surface luster no longer as dazzling, but the ancient will within it seemed to have fallen into a deeper slumber.
[Is this what it looks like after evolution? It feels like its temperament has completely changed!][A sense of oppression! I can feel it even through the screen! She was so cute just now, but now she’s like a queen!][The power is strong but can be controlled, this is the style of a big boss! ][That big crystal seems to have shrunk a bit? Has its energy been drained away?][It should just be a huge consumption, right? It’s impossible for a treasure of this level to be gone in one go, right?][Host, what are we doing now? Let’s go out and show everyone our super dreamy heroic figures!]The comments in the live broadcast room were still scrolling wildly. The audience had calmed down a little from the initial shock and began to enthusiastically discuss the super fantastic changes and the next actions.
“Alright, everyone.” Lin Yan turned to face the camera, and at the same time said to his companions behind him, “Our deep-sea test is complete, and Menghuan has also gained unimaginable opportunities. It’s time to leave here.”
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the mysterious cave that had accomplished this miracle, his tone tinged with emotion: “Thank you for the guidance of the Agate Spirit, thank you for Kyogre’s tacit consent, and thank you… for the gift of this ancient ocean.”
After saying that, he waved his hand gently: “Let’s go!”
Super Dream understood what he meant, and his azure eyes swept over Geodude and the others. A gentle telekinesis, like a warm ocean current, gently enveloped the three of them, as well as Lin Yan.
“Mee~” (Let’s go)
The next moment, driven by super dreamy telekinesis, the group turned into a pink and purple stream of light, and flew rapidly upwards along the passage they came from at a speed far exceeding their previous speed!
The trap area, which had once required careful navigation, now seemed nonexistent under the powerful perception of Super Dream’s telekinesis. The glowing tube worms and light-membrane crystal plants rapidly retreated, the dark blue and silver light stretching and distorting in the field of vision.
【!!! This speed! It’s flying!】
[Holy crap! A Super Dream high-speed submarine? Much faster than the Deep Sea Walker!][Is this what it feels like to be led by a boss? Love it!][Just now, when I came in, every step was so thrilling, but now it’s like a highway when I leave! ][Hahaha, Geodude and the others’ expressions: Who am I? Where am I? Am I about to take off?]The audience in the live broadcast room was so shocked by this sudden high-speed movement that the comments paused for a moment, and then burst into even more enthusiastic cheers and amazement! This sense of speed and power was perfectly conveyed through the camera, making everyone’s adrenaline soar!
In just a moment, they rushed out of the deep canyon and returned to the relatively open deep sea area. Those strange fish that had dared to peek from afar before now sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Super Dream and had already fled without a trace.
The light gradually became brighter.
The deep blue is gradually dyed with the color of sunlight.
Crash——!
Accompanied by a huge sound of water, Lin Yan and his Pokémon broke through the sea surface and bathed in the long-lost sunshine again!
The salty sea breeze brushed across my face (albeit through the diving helmet), and the warm sunlight bathed my body, dispelling the chill brought by the deep sea. In the distance, a speedboat had been waiting for a long time.
“He’s back! The anchor is back!”
“It’s coming out! Oh my god! It’s sunshine!”
“The deep-sea live broadcast has concluded successfully! Throw flowers!”
“Super dreamy! Show us the whole picture!”
The speedboat quickly approached, and Lin Yan landed steadily on the deck with his Pokémon. He untied his helmet, took a deep breath of the sea-scented air, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
“Dear viewers, we’re back!” Lin Yan’s voice came clearly through the live broadcast equipment. “This live broadcast of the East China Sea deep dive has come to an end.”
He looked around and saw the vast blue waves and the sea and sky being one color, which formed a sharp contrast with the claustrophobic and depressing feeling of the deep sea.
“This adventure was thrilling and also very rewarding.” Lin Yan began his closing statement. He needed to fully convey this experience, along with the information and meaning contained therein, to all the audience.
“We delved thousands of meters into the forbidden seabed, encountered strange creatures we had never seen before, and most importantly, had a brief but profound exchange with Kyogre, the legendary creator of the ocean.”
He described in detail the shock he felt when he encountered Kyogre’s silhouette, and the process of working with Mew to calm the storm. He emphasized that Kyogre is not tyrannical, but a warning and counterattack against human behavior that destroys the marine environment.
“Kyogre recognized our sincerity in protecting the ocean and guided us to the Heart of the Tide.”
[So this is how the storm subsided! The streamer and the Fantasy boss are awesome!][Kyogre! It’s really Kyogre! I can’t see its full appearance, but just its outline is scary enough!]Protect the oceans! The host is right! We can’t let these powerful Pokémon disappoint us again!
[Communicating with Legendary Pokémon… The host’s level of coolness is simply beyond the sky! ]The audience listened with rapt attention, feeling as if they were there themselves. Lin Yan avoided exaggerating his own bravery, instead focusing on the importance of communication and understanding with Pokémon and environmental protection, a sentiment that impressed many in the audience.
Then, Lin Yan recounted the process of entering the underwater canyon, encountering traps, and purifying the Geodude, Golbat, and Agate Jellyfish that were eroded by darkness.
“Those dark energies seem to originate from some deeper level of pollution or distortion, reminding us that the hidden crises in this world may be far more numerous than we imagined.”
[Purify Pokémon! The streamer has this trick?!][Multi-frequency sound waves simulating primitive chirping? What kind of high-tech is this? This system is awesome!][It feels like the streamer isn’t just an adventurer, but more like a Pokémon researcher and… a healer?][I feel bad for Geodude and the others, but luckily they met the streamer!]Finally, he mentioned the discovery of the “Heart of the Tide” and the process of Dream accepting the trial and successfully evolving. He focused the camera on the elegant Super Dream floating beside him.
“And the greatest reward is undoubtedly my companion, Mew. It bravely accepted the trials left by the ancient Pokémon, broke through the limits of life, and evolved into its current form!”
Super Fantasy nodded in agreement, and an invisible pressure naturally spread out, causing the crew on the deck to subconsciously step back half a step, their faces filled with shock and awe! They had never seen such a powerful and sacred creature before!
[Looking at it again, it’s still so handsome! That look! That look! I love it!]【Witness history! We are all witnesses! 】

A series of system prompts made Lin Yan’s heart skip a beat!
One million and a half secret points! This is definitely a huge sum of money! Enough for him to redeem many things he has always dreamed of!
Deep Sea Scales! The description is simple, but the words “substantially improved” and “pure water power” clearly speak volumes about its value! Whether used for the Agate Jellyfish or reserved for other uses, this is truly a top-notch item!
What shocked him the most was the third reward – Legendary Companion!
A chance to fight alongside Legendary Pokémon! And, the current choice is Kyogre!
What did this mean? It meant that at some crucial moment in the future, he would have the possibility of standing shoulder to shoulder with the mythical beast that wielded the might of the ocean! This was simply an unimaginable opportunity and honor!
[System prompt! Here it comes! The reward has been settled!][One million and a half secret points?! Am I seeing that right?! You’re rich, host!][Deep Sea Scales! The name sounds impressive! Will it make the Agate Jellyfish take off immediately?][Holy crap!!!! A legendary companion?! Fighting alongside Kyogre?!]【?????????????????????】
[This reward… System Daddy! You are my real daddy!][This isn’t just taking off, this is becoming a god right here! Summoning Kyogre to battle?! The scene is so beautiful I can’t even imagine it!]Is this the reward for revealing a legendary Pokémon? This is outrageous! But it’s also awesome!
The audience in the livestream also saw this incredible reward through Lin Yan’s shared system interface (partial information)! After a brief silence, a tsunami of comments erupted, more frantic than ever before! Everyone was completely captivated by the “Legendary Companion” reward! Jealousy, envy, ecstasy, shock… all these emotions intertwined, pushing the livestream’s enthusiasm to an unprecedented peak!
Lin Yan forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, maintaining a calm appearance. He smiled at the camera, showing the demeanor of a calm and composed boss: “It seems that the system is quite satisfied with my adventure this time.”
This understated statement, coupled with the incredible reward, instantly made the situation look super impressive!
[Satisfied? This is more than satisfied! The system is almost emptying out its resources!][The host is so calm, I’ve learned something, I’ve learned something, even when faced with a huge crisis, I remain calm!][I give this guy full marks for his pretense! The rewards are incredible and he’s still ‘quite satisfied’!][We don’t understand the world of big guys, but we are deeply shocked! ]Lin Yan ignored the barrage of ridicule and, with a thought, opened the system mall. With a huge sum of 1.5 million, he could equip himself and his companions.
Scanning the dazzling array of goods, he quickly locked onto two items.
**[Mysterious Shoes: Boots of Speed (Rare)]**
***Effect:**Mysterious shoes imbued with the power of wind. After being equipped, they can greatly enhance the wearer’s movement speed and reaction ability.
***Exchange Price:** 300,000 Secret Points
**[Guardian Cloak: Blessing of the Tide (Rare)]**
***Effect:** This cloak is woven with special deep-sea materials and engraved with protective runes. It can effectively absorb and deflect energy attacks, greatly enhancing the wearer’s special defense.
***Exchange Price:** 400,000 Secret Points
“Exchange!” Lin Yan said without hesitation.
Speed and special defense are the attributes he needs most in his adventures. Especially when facing those Pokémon with strange energy attacks, the role of the Guardian Cloak is crucial.
As the secret points were deducted, two items instantly appeared in his system space. With a thought, the sleek, breeze-like “boots of speed” appeared directly on his feet, replacing the bulky boots of his diving gear. A feeling of lightness instantly came over him, as if his body had shed several pounds, and his thoughts seemed to speed up a little.
