Only My Way

After dealing with the corpses, and even cleaning up the bloodstains on the ground, allowing the bloody smell permeating the air to gradually dissipate from the dilapidated temple, Ling Wuyuan turned his gaze towards a certain direction.

The direction where the Pei family was holding the banquet.

Although he knew there were large bonfires there, for some reason, Ling Wuyuan felt that the firelight coming from that direction was much brighter than before.

‘Have they added more bonfires?’

Ling Wuyuan wasn't too sure.

After looking at it for a few more moments, he chose to turn his head and continue dealing with the remaining items inside the dilapidated temple.

He felt that after he finished dealing with everything, he could prepare to sleep.

After all, he had to report to the Pei family early tomorrow morning.

Not getting enough rest would really be bad.

For him, the opportunity given by the Pei family was essentially a new step in life.

He absolutely couldn't treat it carelessly.

Putting aside everything else, just the fact that it included room and board, and that it gave him the opportunity to systematically learn the language of this world and to briefly come into contact with extraordinary power, was enough for him to take it seriously and treat it with his whole heart.

With those conditions, he would have the foundation to climb upwards.

Even the smallest opportunity was still an opportunity.

He believed that he would definitely be able to seize this opportunity and climb higher and higher…

To be a 【Person】?

That was not his ultimate goal.

Whether in this life or the previous life, he wanted to be a 【Person Above People】, to become the one who eats people in the unchanging truth of people eating people, instead of being eaten by others!

Even after successfully coming into contact with extraordinary power, he couldn't help but imagine that this world might possess the power to allow people to truly live forever, to allow people to control everything in the world, to allow people to transform from 【Person】 to 【God】…

If there really was such a thing.

Then, he wanted to obtain that power…

He wanted to stand at the highest point, wanted to dominate the life and death of everyone, wanted to ascend to that supreme throne…

Ambition was burning in his heart…

Especially after awakening that power that could make him faster, he was incomparably delighted.

At that moment, he was madly rejoicing that he had been able to transmigrate.

Even though it made him lose the tens of millions of assets he had struggled for years to earn as an orphan in his previous life, and under the premise of not giving him anything, threw him, as a child, into this dangerous world where he couldn't understand the language, forcing him to live on the streets, surviving by eating rats, insects, and weeds, forcing him to secretly learn the language by eavesdropping on others…

But at that moment, he still felt incomparable joy…

Because this was a chance for transcendence.

Giving him the opportunity to possess true extraordinary power that could change everything…

Faced with this opportunity, Ling Wuyuan felt that all the hardships he had suffered over the years were incredibly worthwhile!

Therefore, he felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

His world had never been so wonderful…

Even including the feeling of finally achieving financial freedom in his previous life, it was like this.

—

Half an hour later.

“Bang bang bang…”

“Rumble rumble…”

Those were the sounds of massive collisions, cries, and the continuous collapse of houses.

Hearing these sounds, Ling Wuyuan, who had just laid down not long ago, immediately sat up without hesitation.

His eyes showing vigilance as he looked at the distant sky.

There, it was a fiery red, the fiery red of raging flames.

And that direction was precisely the direction where the Pei family was located!

‘Something happened to the Pei family?’

Realizing this, Ling Wuyuan's face became somewhat ugly.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he understood that things were definitely unfavorable for the Pei family.

To put it bluntly, if the attackers didn't have absolute certainty, they definitely wouldn't have made a move at this particular time.

One had to understand that in order to celebrate the family head's four hundredth birthday, the vast majority of the Pei family members were at the scene.

That is, most of the fighting members were there.

The mastermind dared to strike at this moment when the Pei family's overall combat power was at its strongest, presumably with the goal of wiping them out in one fell swoop.

‘Damn it…’

After thinking for a moment, Ling Wuyuan could only curse angrily in his heart with an incomparably ugly face.

This feeling was just like you were going to successfully join a large company as a formal employee tomorrow morning, but before you even had time to fantasize, that company was maliciously acquired by a competitor and implemented a massive layoff tonight.

‘Ah?’

A 【Ah】 full of doubt and shock could completely summarize Ling Wuyuan's many thoughts.

Although the dream wasn't completely shattered, at least a part of it was broken.

This unexpected and abrupt development made him deeply understand that many of the plans he had made before now all needed to be overturned and started over…

At the same time, gazing at the distant firelight, his eyes faintly revealed a hint of complexity.

Although he still didn't know why Pei Zhizong and that little girl paid special attention to him during the day, and even gave him the qualification to use the 【Spiritual Awakening Ceremony】, but from the actual results, the other party undoubtedly had a debt of gratitude to him.

If it weren't for them, it would have been basically impossible for Ling Wuyuan to use the 【Spiritual Awakening Ceremony】.

And using the 【Spiritual Awakening Ceremony】 was a prerequisite for him to change his life.

Therefore, the two could be completely said to have a great favor to him.

Therefore, Ling Wuyuan would naturally pay attention to the safety of the two.

Gratitude is gratitude.

Hatred is hatred.

Although Ling Wuyuan knew that he wasn't a good person, he had his own principles in doing things.

If possible, he really wanted to repay the favor at this moment.

But unfortunately, at this moment, his ability was too weak, and he didn't have the qualifications to repay the favor at all.

Even looking at the distant firelight and listening to the distant movements, he didn't even dare to walk out of this dilapidated temple.

In this world without streetlights, he didn't dare to say what would happen if he went out at this time of night, especially under the obviously turbulent situation in the surrounding area.

Just a simple glance was enough for him to notice that many of the residences with candlelight around had taken the initiative to extinguish their candles.

Obviously, many ordinary people were avoiding the current situation like snakes and scorpions.

Not to mention actively exploring it, they didn't even dare to look at it more than a few times.

Fearing being implicated.

After another ten minutes passed.

Suddenly, in addition to the large-scale movements in the distance that seemed like an army was engaged in a major battle.

Ling Wuyuan's ears captured a slightly subtle movement.

A movement that was closer.

Immediately, an alarm arose in his heart.

When he followed the movement and looked over, he immediately saw a figure who had just jumped over the wall and fled into the backyard of the dilapidated temple.

A somewhat familiar figure.

With the help of the dim yellow firelight inside the dilapidated temple and the bright moonlight above his head, Ling Wuyuan could vaguely see that there were traces of embarrassment on the other party's delicate and beautiful face.

And after the other party noticed Ling Wuyuan's face and his somewhat shocked expression, a look of shock also appeared in their eyes…

The so-called fate, or destiny, is probably like this.
