Sky Pill Gate claimed to be sealing its doors, but in reality, it was merely saying so for others to hear. The cultivators of the East Jia State didn't feel anything different—cheaper elixirs were still purchased as usual, and they could frequently see Azure Sky Medicine Ancestor strolling around the gate of the Pill Gate.
At the same time, Sky Pill Gate also witnessed another significant event that caught everyone's attention. It was the arrival of the new Demon Ancestor. The Medicine Ancestor himself declared that from now on, all affairs of Sky Pill Gate would be managed by the Demon Ancestor. However, the cultivators of the East Jia State didn't know much about this Demon Ancestor, having never even heard of him before.
Now, who exactly is this Demon Ancestor?
The Demon Ancestor had made a few rare appearances within Sky Pill Gate but never revealed his face, always wearing a black hood.
Perhaps this was what gave him an air of mystery.
The Demon Ancestor was indeed quite mysterious throughout the East Jia State, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the publicly acknowledged Azure Sky Medicine Ancestor but having no prior rumors about him.
...
The Demon Ancestor was likely some top-tier powerhouse who had once shocked the myriad realms.
The cultivators of the East Jia State thought this, unaware that this so-called Demon Ancestor was none other than the former lord of the Ten Great Mountains, the initiator of the plan for Chen Xia to devour the Immortal Realm's will.
The Inner Demon was still discussing with Chen Xia, musing, "Now that we've taken over the East Jia State, we can aim for the entire Immortal Realm. But I'm feeling more and more that something's off."
"For example?" Chen Xia asked.
The Inner Demon pondered, "For example, everything is going too smoothly for us, as if it were meant to be. Also, the Immortal Realm isn't as simple as I originally thought."
"The Immortal Realm is situated in the center of the myriad realms, surrounded by other large realms. At first, I thought this location was mere coincidence, but now I see there's something suspicious about it."
"This place was set up for some existence to descend."
The Inner Demon chuckled, tapping his finger on the table, and continued, "When that puppet came to you earlier, it said that the East Jia State would be your last refuge, advising you not to leave the East Jia State when you become a Great Emperor. That means chaos will erupt in the Immortal Realm, perhaps even in the neighboring states."
"What kind of existence could force us to stay in just one state?"
"The Four-Dao Great Emperor isn't enough—he can only defeat us, not confine us to one state. So, the answer is clear."
"A Five Paths Great Emperor from elsewhere is coming to the Immortal Realm, and he likely has us in his sights. The only place where we can stand a chance of survival is within our already established territory in the East Jia State."
"There aren't many Five Paths Great Emperors in the world—who could it be? The Lord of the Divine Realm?"
"No." Chen Xia's eyes narrowed, his expression serious. He had already thought of a very likely candidate.
"The Nine Mountains Overlord!"
"Why?" the Inner Demon asked.
"We stole his home." Chen Xia replied.
"..." The Inner Demon was speechless, eventually murmuring, "Indeed."
If the Nine Mountains Overlord were to awaken, he would probably hunt them both down.
"So, what now? We can't exactly return what we took, can we?" the Inner Demon asked again.
“Of course not. The East Jia State is mine now. The Immortal Realm hasn't said a word, so what can a Five Paths Great Emperor do about it? At most, he can try to kill me.” Chen Xia raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced, then continued, “And what can a Five Paths Great Emperor do? I've already thought of a countermeasure. When the time comes, we'll go together. First, we'll try to talk sense into him. If he doesn't listen to reason, then don't blame us for being merciless. I'll take the entire East Jia State and separate it from the Immortal Realm, returning to our domain. At worst, I'll just take the East Jia State with me.”
Gain and lose—usually, Chen Xia only focused on the gain, and he would go as far as taking the East Jia State with him.
"That works," the Inner Demon nodded. This was their only retreat route.
The current situation in the Immortal Realm was unclear.
In the Treasure Ring Scale State, the Lord of the Divine Realm had entered a state of internal retreat, no longer engaging in battles with the Immortal Realm cultivators, appearing to be at peace.
Other states were relatively stable, able to gather strength. If this calm situation could last for several thousand more years, the Immortal Realm should be able to easily weather this realm war.
But there were no ifs.
Only a hundred years had passed, and in the Divine Realm, an old figure ascended high, his turbid eyes peering through the cosmos to the vast Immortal Realm, landing on the Treasure Ring Scale State.
This was the final battlefield prepared by the Martial Emperor for them. The Divine Realm had claimed the Treasure Ring Scale State.
The Lord of the Divine Realm's turbid eyes flickered, murmuring softly to himself, "Martial Emperor, what exactly are you plotting? To become the Heavenly Dao? But I simply don't believe it."
"Regardless of what you're planning, being able to descend into the Immortal Realm is enough. Hehe, for this Primordial Land, I've long harbored deep desires."
Suddenly, his turbid eyes burst with a radiant brilliance, and his old body stood straight, exuding an aura of youthful vigor completely at odds with his age!
Boom!
A bright pillar of light could be seen piercing through the void between realms.
Directly from the Divine Realm to the Treasure Ring Scale State.
It was neither a divine talent nor a supernatural art—nor even an artifact.
Today.
The Lord of the Divine Realm descends upon the Treasure Ring Scale State.
The age of chaos begins!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.
