Several lights flashed within what seemed to be a dark room with a giant screen and several seats. There were 10 seats in total and 7 seats were quickly occupied.

"Looks like Senior Han and Hanabi isn't here" A man with a tall build and an above average face said. He was Henry, the mecha builder of the Multi-dimensional chat group. 

Next to him sat a sturdy man with a drunk look on his face, he had no thoughts behind his eyes, he just stared at the giant screen with a blank look.

On the side sat a beautiful girl wearing a gorgeous robe and a long hairpin on her head. she had the bearing of an emperor, her eyes looked like it held countless worlds in it. 

She slowly opened her mouth, "Senior Han said that he is going into seclusion. It might take him a year or even thousands of years to come out."

Everyone in the room fell silent. 

Senior Han was the strongest member of this chat group, as for how strong he is, they don't know. Both Empress Lihua and Arthur have fought him yet they stood no chance, what's funny is that they all were at the 4th stage of existence and yet they lost in a single move.

Not only that, he has even taught and enlightened everyone in the group chat about the laws.

Although only Lia, Wang Wei, Lihua and Arthur really got something from it.

Lia's Ice and Lightning Law, which she had comprehended, would have taken her at least another year to reach the Peak Initiate Level of mastery if she had consistently grinded in the Abyss and managed to obtain a law card.

Now, however, it had already reached that level and was on the verge of reaching the Mastery Level, the second stage of law comprehension.

Just a single class from Senior Han had caused her to gain enlightenment on her law.

That was how incredible he was.

According to Chen Hao, his identity is definitely not ordinary.

In fact, it is mostly due to his help that they have managed to complete many missions.

Everyone respectfully called him Senior Han.

 Even the usually arrogant Arthur is respectful towards him. 

Since everyone has arrived in the cinema theatre, the giant screen turned on.

Immediately, the chat members started paying attention to the screen.

Especially Lia.

The scene shifted abruptly, revealing a dimly lit warehouse.

A man with short black hair and piercing blue eyes came into view. His expression was calm, his gaze darting around the space as though searching for something—or someone.

It was Lin Yuan.

"Huh?!" A shout of surprise immediately escaped out from Lia's mouth as she pointed at the screen with a look of disbelief, "Is that Lin Yuan?!"

The instant she said the screen paused and everyone look at her with a look of surprise.

"Do you know him, Sister Lia?" Li Na asked in a surprised tone.

Li Na looked like a girl who seemed 16 or 17 years. She was shorter than Lia yet that added to her charm. She wore headphones on her shoulders and a pink hoodie. 

She looked a gamer.

In fact, she was a streamer in her world. She streams games and cultivation world of hers.

"Yeah, I do..." Lia nodded. "He is the eldest brother of my fiancé"

Everyone's expression became strange, especially for Li Na.

She recalled everything Lia had mentioned before and a look surprise appeared on her face, "That guy you said that was more obsessed with you than your fiancé? Does that mean he is the new member of the chat group?"

They thought Lin Yuan was the one who joined the chat group with Lin Xuanyu's name. 

It couldn't be Lin Xuanyu because he's already dead.

Li Na thought Lin Yuan might've used his brother's name to join this strange and mysterious chat to avoid being identified.

That's how she was at first too.

She used her mom's name.

Lia shook her head, "I don't know.."

Empress Lihua who was silently watching from the side calmly said, "Be calm, Whether he's the new group member or not will be revealed soon"

"Indeed" Chen Hao said, "Let's continue watching"

Everyone nodded except Wang Wei, he seamed to have a calm and blank expression on his face, as if he was being enlightened on the Boundless Dao of Heaven.

Why am I here again....?  Wang Wei thought in his mind.

A valuable question indeed.

Soon the video restarted.

"Where is Lin Xuanyu?" Lin Yuan's voice cut through the stillness, he had a frown on his face as he demanded.

Not far from him, Jerry fidgeted nervously, his face pale. "W-Well…" he began, his voice trembling.

Lia's face hardened. 

From the latest news, it has been confirmed that Lin Xuanyu's body haven't been found yet. Yet how did Lin Yuan know where Lin Xuanyu's body was?

And She also recognized other two people in the screen, They was the trusted subordinate of Lin Xuanyu, she had met them on many occasions.

Something is not right... Lia felt something wrong here. 

However, the next moment, her confusion became even stronger and a look of disbelief appeared on her face. 

Before Jerry could finish, a streak of light shot across the room, its speed almost blinding.

The attack was intercepted mid-air with a resonating metallic clank, sparks scattering as it struck an unseen barrier.

Behind the barrier, another figure stepped into view, his presence calm yet playful.

His black hair framed glowing blue eyes, which shimmered faintly in the dim light.

A faint smile played on his lips.

It was Lin Xuanyu.

"As expected of a Core-Formation barrier," Lin Xuanyu said, his tone light, almost amused. "Physical objects can't penetrate it. The thing in the gate was just an imitation."

"L-Lin Xuanyu?!" Lia exclaimed out loud as she pointed at the screen.

She felt her mind go blank.

The guy everyone thought was dead was now alive and kicking, attacking his own brother?

"How is he alive?!"

"Huh?" Li Na's surprised voice rang, "You mean your fiancé that died a week ago?"

"Well this is unexpected..." Henry commented as he looked at the scene.

"Indeed." A serious expression dotted on Chen Hao's face.

"Interesting." Empress Lihua said with a smile.

She liked plot twists like this.

Lia looked at the guy on the screen repeatedly. He was still the same person she knew, but now he appeared more confident and sharper than before.

The person she remembered had stuttered when he spoke and could barely manage a conversation with her face to face.

He was someone who even feared fighting against monsters.

"So who's the Transmigrator and who's the new member?" Arthur asked bored.

He honestly didn't care if someone rose from the dead and made a cool comeback.

His only interest was in fighting and playing games.

"Lia Sis, calm down. Let's finish watching the replay first," Li Na said, speechless. Not even a minute had passed, and Lia was already showing so many reactions.

"You're right, I'm overreacting." Lia's face turned slightly red from embarrassment. "Sorry..." 

That's right She will get her answers after the video was done.

"It's fine" Empress Lihua said with a gentle smile. "Now let's focus on the screen."

Everyone nodded.

Soon enough the replay continued.

Lin Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief. He staggered back a step, his face pale. "Y-You! How are you alive?! Your soul lamp was extinguished!"

Lin Xuanyu shrugged casually, as though the answer wasn't worth explaining. "Do I really need to spell it out? Let's skip the boring talk and get straight to it. You should know better, as a transmigrator."

"So Lin Yuan is the transmigrator?" Henry's surprised voice rang out. 

"Looks like it" Empress Lihua said. "And it looks like this Lin Xuanyu already knew that he was a otherworlder... Where did he get that information from?"

Everyone became curious. 

In fact with Lia's master's help, she had already searched far and wide for unusual activities and yet she yielded no result.

Yet this guy knew the other party was the otherworlder that had transmigrated into this world?

It made no sense.

Who gave him this information?

Lin Yuan's shock quickly morphed into suspicion.

His voice dropped, his eyes narrowing. "Are you an otherworlder?"

"Yep," Lin Xuanyu answered nonchalantly, the word delivered with a faint smirk.

Immediately, a frown appeared on Lia's face.
