“Ugh… Cough… cough…”
“You… you…”
Blood trickled from the corners of Zhou Chen’s mouth, and his eyes were filled with terror.
“I never imagined that someone could break free of this formation. I truly underestimated the heroes of this world.”
“What… what’s your name…?”
“Mo Yu,” Ye Shu replied solemnly.
“Mo Yu? What a fine name.” The corners of Zhou Chen’s mouth lifted into a faint, relieved smile. “It was my carelessness. I never thought that someone in this formation could escape. The fact that you managed to kill my clansman is proof of your ability… cough, cough…”
“It’s just a pity that you revealed yourself too soon.”
“This place lies in the heartland of my clan. It exists specifically for the trials of the strong, and countless eyes watch it every day. Cough, cough… Even if you possess the power of seven realms, you still won’t escape death…”
“Heh heh…”
After finishing his words, Zhou Chen’s body went limp and collapsed.
His eyes remained fixed on Ye Shu, as though he had already foreseen the fate that awaited Ye Shu once he gave chase.
“What do we do? What do we do?”
After hearing Zhou Chen’s final words, Xiaobai was nearly crying.
Standing on Ye Shu’s shoulder, she spun around anxiously.
“You big idiot, why are you panicking? We should at least figure out where we are first, then find a chance to slip away! Why did you kill him without thinking?!”
“It’s over, it’s all over!”
Rumble…
Almost as soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, Ye Shu sensed an indescribable gaze probing into the hall. It made his hair stand on end and sent a chill through him.
Yet Ye Shu showed no sign of panic.
If he followed Zhou Chen out, he might be safe for a short while. But in a place where he knew nothing and was pretending to be a member of a race he understood even less—
That would be an utterly foolish decision.
Lady Luck would not favor the same person forever.
“If we leave now, it’ll be difficult to come back.”
Ye Shu swiftly pulled his hand from Zhou Chen’s chest, then turned to look at the vast formation before him.
“W-What do you mean?” Xiaobai stared at him blankly. “We’re not running? You’re actually thinking about coming back?”
“It’s not that we aren’t running.” Ye Shu shook his head and pointed at the formation as he slowly continued, “We’re taking the formation with us.”
“Taking it with us?”
“That’s right.”
Ye Shu nodded. He spread both hands, and an invisible might instantly enveloped the entire formation.
“If I’m not mistaken, this formation is a world captured by the System Clan. You could even say it’s a farm.”
“In that case, the factions inside are easy to understand.”
“They’re all Heavenly Daos waiting to be slaughtered!”
“So you want to…?”
Xiaobai stared at Ye Shu in shock.
Ye Shu threw his head back and laughed.
“If they can invade us, then we can invade them!”
With that, he suddenly exerted force with both arms and lifted the entire formation bodily.
Rumble!
The ancient hall shook violently. Cracks spread across all four walls, while the formation was raised into the air by Ye Shu. Starlight churned violently within it, and countless worlds swayed along with it, as though the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.
“You’ve gone insane!”
Xiaobai clutched his collar tightly, her little face deathly pale.
“You’re taking away their lifeblood! Won’t they come after you with everything they have?!”
“As if they wouldn’t come after us even if we left it behind.”
Ye Shu shot her a speechless look. Then, carrying the formation under one arm, he immediately fled from the ancient hall.
Naturally, such an enormous disturbance alarmed the System Clan.
“What the hell happened?”
“What the hell happened?”
In the void, confused voices rose one after another. Every system looked toward the source of the commotion, utterly bewildered.
“Holy crap!”
“Which bastard moved the trial ground?!”
Someone shouted, and the entire void instantly erupted.
“666! Someone’s trying to hog all the loot.”
“One system trying to handle so many worlds? Is he lighting a lantern in a toilet—looking for death?!”
Figures emerged from the void one after another.
They stared dumbfoundedly toward the ancient hall. A massive hole had been torn open in its roof, and a pillar of light shot straight into the heavens. Meanwhile, the formation containing countless worlds was being carried in the arms of a young man with a white-haired little loli sitting on his shoulder, disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Am I seeing things?”
“That… that little girl sitting on his shoulder—could she be a Heavenly Dao?”
“She definitely is!”
“Those damned Heavenly Daos love pretending to be young, luring transmigrators from the Only True Realm over so they can devour them.”
“666.”
“What do you mean the cow I raised on my farm went berserk and ran off with the entire farm?!”
That utterly outrageous entrance left the gathered systems completely stunned.
That kid was terrifyingly bold.
One person actually dared to challenge the entire System Clan alone?
“Quit talking nonsense and chase him!”
Once their shock had passed, all the systems immediately reacted. They transformed into streaks of light and shot after Ye Shu at top speed.
On the other side, Ye Shu, who was fleeing at full speed, soon encountered the first group of interceptors.
A group of imposing figures stretched across the universe. With their arms folded, they radiated an astonishing aura.
“You little brat, how dare you act so recklessly!”
“Put down the trial ground at once, or we will cast you into the Abyss of No Order, where you will never rise again!” the leader shouted coldly, his oppressive might spreading across the heavens and earth.
Yet Ye Shu did not even spare them a glance.
“Good dogs don’t block the road!”
Ye Shu gave a low shout and, holding the formation in one arm, swung his right hand violently. A brilliant radiance burst forth like the light of heaven, shaking the entire cosmos.
The several figures exploded on contact.
“W-What kind of joke is this?!”
The other systems that hurried over were left staring in disbelief, their eyes nearly splitting with shock.
Those few were no ordinary systems. Every one of them was a veteran who had conquered more than a hundred worlds. Yet they had been instantly killed in a single exchange?!
“Hmph! If you want to die, then come and stop me!”
Ye Shu gave another cold shout and continued fleeing with the formation in his arms.
This was precisely why he had decided to forcefully take the formation away.
The worlds contained within it might require the systems to conquer them one by one. They had to follow the rules of the parallel lines and could not simply use overwhelming power to guarantee victory.
But Ye Shu was different.
He did not belong to any of the parallel lines. The narrative laws of this place could not bind him.
He directly extended his divine sense into the worlds within the formation and crushed every system still participating in the trials. The world-force around him continued to surge, and every speck of starlight that lit up within the formation made him stronger.
Every system that stood in his path was crushed.
Without exception!
This horrifying sight left all the systems utterly stunned.
Watching Ye Shu slaughter his way through the void, some systems suffered a complete collapse of faith. One of them murmured in disbelief:
“What era am I even living in? Could this be the return of a legend from the mythological age?”
“Holy crap!”
“It’s a transmigrator! Everyone retreat, quick!”

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
