Dream Butterfly had Yuji lay Yi Tianchou flat on the ground, while she squatted down and placed her hands on Yi Tianchou's temples, softly saying, "I'm here to help you. Now, relax your whole body, don't think about anything..."

Yi Tianchou half-opened his eyes, feeling the warmth of Dream Butterfly's serene and solemn expression as she looked at him. His body and mind no longer felt the same intense pain as before. His breathing became steady, his consciousness gradually becoming blurred, sinking into a half-asleep state. As the pain drifted away, memories passed through his mind like fleeting clouds...

He remembered that since he could remember, he had been forcibly brought into the Chiyu organization. He didn't know who his parents were, nor his name. He lived with a group of people around his age, forced to do things they didn't want to do every day, including undergoing biogenetic modification experiments triggered by supernatural abilities.

Although he lived with many people, he had no friends here. Everyone lived for themselves, and kind and weak individuals were only bullied and oppressed, becoming targets for others to vent their grievances. Everyone was on guard against each other, and once a weakness was exposed, they would be endlessly bullied. Even if they were bullied to death, it didn't matter, because the organization only selected strong, talented individuals for training. Those with poor talent and weak individuals were discarded like trash.

From a young age, he saw many people undergo physical and mental torment, becoming insane and some unable to bear the torture and pain, choosing to commit suicide. Some people, due to their poor physical condition, couldn't withstand the effects of the supernatural ability activation on their bodies, leading to the gradual failure of their organs and death. The fate of these people usually ended with being abandoned by the organization, disappearing without a trace, as if they had never existed in the world. Only a tiny fraction of people could survive in this hellish environment after passing numerous tests.

He was lucky. He successfully underwent the biogenetic modification experiment triggered by supernatural abilities, enduring various unbearable pains, defeating one competitor after another, becoming an important cultivation object in the organization.

As his supernatural ability grew stronger, the higher-ups in the organization began to look at him differently, teaching him various knowledge and giving him some personal freedom. Although he didn't know his original name, he used the knowledge he had learned to give himself a name.

Due to his good performance in the organization and successfully completing many important tasks assigned to him, he began to earn the organization's trust. His position within the organization continued to rise, with many people starting to follow and court him. However, he had no interest in these people because he knew they were only approaching him for their own benefit. Once he lost his usefulness to them, they would ruthlessly abandon him, just like those who had disappeared.

He knew that he had only one thing to do, to climb higher by any means necessary, to reach the highest point where no one else could reach, to gain immense power. At that point, no one would be able to control him, and he could fully control his own destiny. Not only that, he would also become the master of others. When that time came, he could...

Thinking of this, Yi Tianchou completely closed his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face as he fell into a deep sleep.

"Ew, this guy's smile is so disgusting..." Lin Shiqi, seeing Yi Tianchou's peaceful sleeping expression, made a disgusted sound, while Yuji, seeing Yi Tianchou sleeping so peacefully, couldn't help but be deeply moved, tears streaming down her face.

"One crying, one laughing, are these two people crazy?" Lin Shiqi shivered.

"Alright, let's continue walking." Qin Yan carried Dream Butterfly on his back, while Yuji also carried the sleeping Yi Tianchou. The group continued to move forward under Dream Butterfly's guidance.

Later on, guided by Dream Butterfly, they continued their journey, traversing mountains and waters, walking a distance they were unsure of. Along the way, they encountered various attacks from different exotic beasts. Qin Yan and the others either avoided them if possible or used force to drive them away or kill them. Fortunately, most of the exotic beasts were not very powerful, and even the slightly stronger ones were no match for them. These exotic beasts were either driven away or killed for food.

During this time, Dream Butterfly continued to collect herbs along the way to treat Yi Tianchou's illness. Occasionally, she also used her mental power to hypnotize Yi Tianchou, helping him alleviate the physical pain. After more than half a month, although Yi Tianchou's illness had not completely recovered, it had improved significantly. He could now move on his own. However, he usually followed Qin Yan and the others from a distance, not walking with them or interacting with them much when they stopped to rest.

"This guy is really ungrateful. We saved him, yet he always wears a sour face, as if we owe him money. If I had known, I wouldn't have saved him in the first place." On this day, as Qin Yan and the group continued on their journey, Lin Shiqi looked at Yi Tianchou following from afar and expressed her dissatisfaction.

"That's not true." Yuji, who was walking with them, quickly spoke up. "Actually, Tian Ge is very grateful to you. He just hasn't expressed it directly. I talked to him, and he said he won't go after you anymore. Even if he returns to the original world in the future, he won't continue to target your academy."

"I'm not sure if that's true." Lin Shiqi still looked displeased. "Maybe he's just saying that to make us lower our guard, so he can attack us again when we least expect it."

"That won't happen." Yuji hurriedly added, "Tian Ge is not that kind of person. He would never do such a thing. I can assure you of that."

"How can you guarantee that? Both of you are from the Chiyu organization, so of course you would say that. Who knows if you're colluding with him to deceive us." Lin Shiqi's expression stiffened, not knowing how to respond to Yuji's words. At that moment, Qin Yan spoke up, "I don't care if what you're saying is true or false. I just want you to know that if you plot against us in the future, we will ruthlessly take you down. We gave you a chance before, but that doesn't mean we will give you another one in the future. Do you understand?"

Yuji was stunned, and then nodded slowly.
