Li Mo tried going in, but he stopped after his second time bumping into it.
Li Mo frowned.
He was familiar with this type of world. The world Aladdin and the Magic Lamp was an average world that required one to be in the Spirit Stage to enter.
Li Mo was banned because all his qi was wiped clean and had to recover first.
Li Mo sucked the experts’ qi half to break through and the other half to prevent them from muddying the water inside the origin world.
Since there were plenty of folks still hanging around, Li Mo sucked them up some more.
Hum~
With some of his reserves back, Li Mo swallowed a blueish pill to recover enough of his qi to satisfy the time-space rupture’s condition.
Li Mo hurriedly entered Aladdin and the Magic Lamp world again.
A natural time-space world and an origin made one were different. The former was a remnant of a certain period in history, while the latter could be about anything and everything.
Be it historical, fiction, cartoons, novels, anime, even movies. The power of origin could make a world just about absolutely everything.
The most treacherous time-space world was without a doubt an origin type world.
Naturally, it wasn’t without rules.
Anyone could enter a time-space world while the origin world allowed those who fulfilled its criteria, upping the difficulty.
Take Aladdin and the Magic Lamp for example. One had to be in the Spirit Stage at the least to enter. And once inside, it robbed him of all his qi, sapped most of his body’s strength, and it didn’t follow logic either.
The lamp and the magic ring were the first and the second most precious items in that world.
Li Mo ran to the mountain again. In an origin world, the only item that could be brought out was the origin fragment. All others were ephemeral. He just tried taking the magic lamp and the magic ring out but they vanished as soon as he left. According to the rule of this world, the two items ought to be back to their original place.
“Today’s bad luck is truly the pits…”
Li Mo got to the mountain and found the cave, but it was picked clean.
The ‘dusty’ magician was at the same spot, but it couldn’t be said the same for the magic lamp and the magic ring.
There was no use thinking about it. Someone took ’em.
‘A native, or an outsider?’
Li Mo left at his fastest.
In this world, no one’s power rose above the genies of the lamp and ring. One word could turn you to dust.
With the two magic items lost, he needed to hide, fast.
Li Mo sneaked back into the village to Aladdin, finding him still out cold.
He was clearly not the culprit behind the missing items.
Under the night’s descent, Li Mo carried Aladdin to the time-space rupture.
The genies of the lamp and ring were gods here. They could fulfill your wildest dreams and wishes. But Li Mo couldn’t care less. What he wanted the most was to find the origin fragment.
Since it was not the lamp or the ring, maybe it was Aladdin?
“Genie of the lamp, kill that man!”
When Li Mo got Aladdin to the time-space rupture and about to leave, he heard a woman’s voice.
“Your wish is my command, master!”
But he was one second too late as Li Mo and Aladdin passed through the rupture.
Pff…
Aladdin vanished.
‘Another miss?’
No!
Li Mo swore.
“Xin Hongzhu?” Li Mo recalled the woman voiced and recognized it instantly.
Xin Hongzhu’s voice was impossible not to remember just from hearing it once.
Looking at the swaying folks about, Li Mo shook his head.
He hoped to get all experts with the Black Tortoise Array, to bar them access to the time-space rupture while also blocking them from leaving. But Lei Tian just had to escape.
He used an immortal’s sword to cut a hole in Black Tortoise Array, making an exit.
That Xin Hongzhu must’ve used the same hole to follow him inside the world of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.
When it rained it poured, and the storm rocked the boat.
Nothing good would come of anything today!
Li Mo undid the Black Tortoise Array and patiently waited hidden away.
Xin Hongzhu was a god now in there, thanks to the genie of the lamp. Going in now was plain suicide. The best bet was to stake out the entrance for when she got out.
The experts around came in twos and threes, checking out the time-space rupture. But try as they might, none could get in.
They weren’t Li Mo, so they didn’t know their low qi reserves had anything to do with it. One by one, they all left downcast.
A day went by and there was no expert around. They all left. Of course, they hadn’t gone far, not giving up on the time-space trove and hid around just like Li Mo.
Even after a day, Xin Hongzhu was a no show.
Li Mo divined, but his luck was still rotten.
…
Inside the world of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.
“Genie of the lamp, I wish for everlasting life.”
“Your wish is my command, master!”
“Genie of the lamp, I wish to be the most beautiful girl in the world!”
“Your wish is my command, master!”
“Genie of the lamp, I wish to be the queen of the world!”
“Your wish is my command, master!”
“Genie of the lamp, I wish that you’d dance for me.”
“Your wish is my command, master!”
Xin Hongzhu in royal attire sat on an opulent throne, rubbing the magic lamp now and then to summon the genie.
She wished for so much already that she had rand out of wished by the time she called the genie again.
Xin Hongzhu paused then turned fervent, “Genie of the lamp, I wish that my brothers, eldest Xin, second Xin, third Xin, fourth Xin, sixth Xin, eight Xin, to be here with me and grant them eternal life!”
“I am unable to fulfill it, master!”
Summoning people from another world overstepped the bounds of the genie’s power.
Xin Hongzhu saddened.
“Then can you make a few superstars? Lin Jing, Ye Xiaolu, Zhang Ming?”
The genie stood blankly.
Xin Hongzhu took out the photos of the three from her chest.
“Your wish is my command, master!”
Whoosh~
Lin Jing, Ye Xiaolu, Zhang Ming pooped before Xin Hongzhu.
“A-ha-ha-ha, they’re identical.”
Xin Hongzhu flew at Lin Jing and grabbed her for a big smooch. Then she threw Ye Xiaolu and Zhang Ming on the ground as well…
