My Ultimate Sign-in System Made Me Invincible - Chapter 519 Expecting A Breakthrough

Chapter 519  Expecting A Breakthrough

Liam and Lucy appeared in the living room of Bellemere Mansion.

The maids paused mid-step when they saw her. They had grown accustomed to Liam appearing from nowhere, to technology that didn’t exist anywhere else, and to the particular normalcy of working in a house where the impossible was routine. But an unknown woman they had never seen before, standing beside him was new.

Their eyes moved to her with open curiosity.

Liam caught it. “This is Lucy,” he said. “My personal assistant.”

“Good morning, ma’am,” The maids greeted her.

“Good morning. Nice to finally meet you all,” Lucy greeted back.

Liam turned to Lucy. “Have fun. I’ll be in the Dimensional Space for the rest of the day. I can feel my breakthrough is close.”

“I’ll visit Daniel while you’re away,” Lucy said.

Liam looked at her for a moment, as he turned the idea over — Lucy, visiting Daniel, without him, for reasons she hadn’t volunteered — and something about the combination produced a feeling he couldn’t immediately name. He trusted Daniel completely. He trusted Lucy completely. Together, unsupervised, discussing something unspecified, he was less certain about.

Lucy saw his expression and chuckled. It was a small sound but genuine. “I want to discuss how we handle the rats who have been circling your friends. That’s all.”

Liam paused. The feeling resolved into something cleaner. He nodded slowly. “Keep me updated. I might need to use them as an example — show the world what I’m actually capable of when someone goes after people I care about.”

“I’ll let Daniel know.”

Liam said nothing more. He vanished from the spot.

Lucy stood alone in the living room for a moment. She looked at the maids — Mason and Nick — and gave them a small nod. Then she walked to the entrance, opened the door, stepped outside, and flew into the sky.

Mason and Nick watched her go. They stood at the window for a moment after she disappeared.

Neither of them spoke. They had a shared policy, developed over months of employment, of not attempting to verbally process what they witnessed in this house. It preserved their sanity and their professional composure simultaneously.

They simply filed it under the same category where everything else lived — the impossible abilities of their boss and those connected to him — and returned to their work.

Though they couldn’t help feeling a quiet sympathy for whoever had been circling Liam’s friends. They knew that the people on the receiving end of that coordination were not going to enjoy what came next.

Liam appeared in the Dimensional Space and flew toward the Pagoda.

It had been a while since he’d seen Master Han and Luo in person. His third clone maintained regular contact with them and from those interactions he knew they were doing well. Better than well. The progress they’d made across month was the kind that took most cultivators years.

Master Han had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. The achievement was significant.

Luo wasn’t far behind. The gap between them had narrowed considerably over the past month, and Liam suspected that by the time he next checked properly, the gap would be smaller still.

Their craftsmanship had improved alongside their cultivation. The two reinforced each other in ways that weren’t accidental — understanding the nature of materials at a spiritual level changed what a craftsman could coax from them, and the discipline of forging sharpened the focused attention that cultivation required. Master Han had understood this intuitively. Luo had learned it by watching him.

Liam reached the Pagoda door and pushed it open gently with his telekinesis. He landed inside and walked toward the forging room.

He knocked and waited, but got no response.

He waited another minute, listening. No sound of movement from inside, no vibration of tools, no the particular quality of focused silence that came from someone working at the edge of their concentration. They were either deep in something that made them unreachable or they weren’t there.

He decided to return later and left the Pagoda.

He felt Yanxia before he saw her.

As he flew closer, he felt the sensation of the heat of the flames surrounding her, and it deepen with every passing second.

When he finally reached her position, he stopped.

She was no longer enclosed in the ball of flame he had last seen her within.

Where that contained sphere had been, there was now a massive golden Three-legged Golden Crow, floating in open sky rather than hovering above the ground. The form was enormous — larger than he had anticipated, though in retrospect the scale made sense given what she was consolidating. The three legs were tucked in a resting position, the wings half-extended, the feathers blazing golden.

She was illuminating the entire Dimensional Space.

The glow was blinding in the ordinary sense but his physique had long since enhanced his eyes beyond that threshold, and the Dao Array Eyes layered over that, letting him look directly at her without the image washing out.

He could make out the details clearly: the depth of the golden color, the slow rhythm of her breathing visible in the rise and fall of the wing feathers, the particular stillness of something in the final stages of deep consolidation where the body was quiet but the internal process was anything but.

He floated there and let himself feel the pride that rose in his chest without editing it.

He really couldn’t wait to see what she had become when she woke.

He also noticed what had changed in the space around her.

The mix of spiritual Qi and mana of the Dimensional Space had always been dense — the Gaia’s Heartstone and the Eternal Qi Vein had seen to that from the beginning. But it was denser now, and richer in a way that had a quality he could taste at the edges of his perception. And the mixture has also gained a fiery attribute.

 Yanxia had been here for four months and the space had absorbed something of her nature, or she had released something into it, or both — the distinction was less important than the result.

The Dimensional Space was evolving. The terraforming that the Heartstone and the Vein had been driving slowly was accelerating, shaped now by what Yanxia was pouring into the environment simply by existing within it.

The air was becoming something that could sustain life without assistance. The sky above had taken on a particular quality of light that had nothing to do with any external source. And the ground was becoming fertile and viable.

Within a few more months in Earth’s time, he might be able to bring people here without exosuits. That was not a small thing.

He turned his attention inward.

The breakthrough had been building for days. He had felt it before. He knew what it meant and he knew better than to force it or rush toward it. It arrived when the conditions were right and the best thing he could do was stop creating conditions that worked against it.

He could have done this in his bedroom. The breakthrough itself didn’t require a particular location.

 But he didn’t want a situation where his breakthrough would cause a phenomenon and attract a crazy level of reactions. And it would also be centred on the mansion, meaning he would have a lot of explanation to do.

But things were different in the Dimensional.

Liam found a position in the air, cross-legged, facing the golden light of the Three-legged Crow above him.

He closed his eyes and let his attention settle inward and waited for what was already coming.

Back on Earth, Nova Technologies dropped an announcement. One that might be among their biggest yet.
