Chapter 107: The Darkest Corruption

The moment the prompt appeared, Lin QiYe's eyes instantly lit up.

Upon reading the last line, he paused, feeling a bit puzzled.

"Short-term departure from the hospital for activities?"

Did that mean that Nie KeSi could leave the hospital and get some fresh air outside?

But once she left the hospital, would she still be a mortal or a god?

A series of questions rushed into his mind. Lin QiYe thought for a moment, then shook his head. These questions could be answered later. For now, there was something more important to do…

"Ability extraction."

Lin QiYe silently said to himself, and immediately the mysterious spinning wheel in mid-air began to rotate!

The pointer passed over the various options on the wheel, and Lin QiYe kept his eyes fixed on it, his heart racing.

"Please don't be Supernatural Reproduction, please don't be Supernatural Reproduction…"

The wheel spun slower and slower, as if it had heard Lin QiYe's earnest prayer, the pointer wobbled and slid past the Supernatural Reproduction section, landing on another area.

— The Darkest Corruption.

Once the pointer stopped, the entire wheel slowly faded, leaving only the four words hovering in mid-air.

Lin QiYe extended his hand and gently touched the surface of the words. A mysterious force flowed from his fingertip into his body.

About five seconds later, several lines of text appeared before Lin QiYe.

"The Darkest Corruption (Dark God's Ruins): Use the purest darkness to corrupt everything around you. Any object or creature engulfed by the darkness is under your control (The range and control strength of the Dark God's Ruins grow with your mental power)."

Lin QiYe repeated the text in his mind several times, his shock growing more and more intense.

Unlike the Starry Night Dancer, which was more of a supporting ability, the Darkest Corruption was clearly a much higher-tier power, especially with the addition of "God's Ruins"!

Since it involved "God's Ruins," this wasn't just an ability—it was likely the core of the Night Goddess's divine inheritance!

In terms of functionality, Starry Night Dancer was more like a supporting power of the night, but Darkest Corruption was a complete and powerful force of the Dark God's Ruins!

Lin QiYe controlled his excitement, carefully fed Nie KeSi her medication, and then said a few words to Li YiFei before hurriedly leaving the Divine Mental Hospital.

Once in his room, he glanced at BaiLi Pangpang, who was still asleep, and silently slipped out.

A moment later, he stood on the rooftop of the dormitory building.

Lin QiYe slowly walked to an open space, checked around to make sure no instructors' surveillance was present, and then stopped.

He closed his eyes and, in the next moment, an absolute darkness expanded from him in all directions.

It spread out like a drop of black ink spilling into a white canvas, slowly engulfing everything—the sand, the air, the flying birds, the moonlight…

This was the purest darkness, the most original form of black.

The darkness continued to spread, eventually stopping about ten meters away from Lin QiYe.

In the center of this absolute darkness, Lin QiYe slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze was now a deep black night.

"Still affected by the Superpower Object that suppresses the Superpower…" Lin QiYe murmured.

He could feel a mysterious force restricting his surroundings, preventing the full manifestation of the Dark God's Ruins. If the influence of the Superpower Object were removed, he estimated that the Ruins could cover a radius of about twenty meters.

And his World of Mortals had roughly the same range. If he wasn't mistaken, twenty meters seemed to be the limit of the "Light" stage.

Lin QiYe raised his finger slightly.

Within the Dark God's Ruins, the sand on the ground trembled slightly, eventually rising and swirling around his fingertip.

Lin QiYe watched the sand closely, nodding slightly.

"So, I can control everything within the Ruins…"

He lowered his head and focused on the concrete ground beneath him, his eyes narrowing.

A faint crack appeared on the surface, as though someone had forcibly split it open, revealing a narrow gap.

"The degree of control still has limits. Right now, I can only control simple things. I wonder if, as my realm grows, I could tear apart an atomic nucleus…"

Lin QiYe gently traced the crack with his hand, slowly standing up and looking up at the bird trapped within the darkness.

In the next moment, the bird's pupils also turned to darkness…

The imprisonment lifted, and the bird flapped its wings twice, gracefully flying around Lin QiYe before landing on his hand, like a delicate sculpture.

Its eyes, like Lin QiYe's, were deep and enigmatic.

Lin QiYe extended his other hand, gently caressing its feathers.

"By using the dark corruption to invade a creature's mind, I can control them. I wonder how far this can go with humans."

"And within the Ruins, whether it's night or day, it seems Starry Night Dancer can trigger. With that, my combat power in this space would skyrocket to terrifying levels."

Lin QiYe meticulously analyzed the Dark God's Ruins, conducting experiments with the surrounding environment, until his mental energy was drained, and he could no longer maintain the Ruins. At that point, he stopped.

"My mental energy is still too weak. Right now, I can only sustain the Dark God's Ruins for two minutes… Huh? Wang Mian can only last five seconds, huh?"

"Why is he so weak?"

Lin QiYe thought for a moment and muttered to himself, "Even though I have Starry Night Dancer boosting me and my mental energy has increased, it shouldn't make such a huge difference…"

"Could it be that the Time Ruins consumes more mental energy than the Dark Ruins? But that doesn't seem right. My duration is nearly twenty times longer than his."

After a long period of thought, Lin QiYe couldn't figure it out, so he simply attributed it to "Wang Mian being too weak."

After closing the Dark God's Ruins, Lin QiYe hesitated for a moment before once again sinking his consciousness back into the hospital.

"Lin QiYe, you came back so soon?" Nie KeSi said in surprise when she saw him.

"Mother, would you like to go for a walk?" Lin QiYe looked into her eyes and asked.

"A walk? Where to?"

"Out of the hospital. Into the real world."

"I'm not sure what you mean, but if I can go with you, I'd be happy to," Nie KeSi replied after a brief pause.

"Good. Then come with me." Lin QiYe took her hand, gradually pulling his consciousness out of the mental hospital…

A moment later, Lin QiYe opened his eyes on the rooftop.

He turned around, and saw behind him, a beautiful woman in a black gauze dress, exuding an air of nobility, silently standing beneath the night sky.
