"Look! There's someone..." Cheng Yuxun shouted.
Lin Ruowei was laboriously hauling ore when she heard his voice but paid it little mind—seeing people around was hardly unusual.
Yet, her maid beside her also froze, staring into the distance.
"Young Mistress, someone really is flying over! Riding a snail... It looks like that man!"
That man?
Him?
Puzzled, she followed their gaze.
At that glance—
Lin Ruowei, too, stood rooted in shock!
After just a few seconds of wide-eyed staring, her clear eyes flickered with astonishment and delight!
"It's him?!"
"The expert who fought on the ancient ship that day!"
The captain and maid's suspicions were confirmed, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
"It really is him!"
"To think he actually crossed the vast sea alone—how extraordinary!"
Watching Yi Feng leisurely approach on his snail, the trio brimmed with emotion, as if reuniting with an old friend in a distant land. Suppressed hope and exhilaration surged in their eyes!
What thrilled them most, however, was that this newcomer was far beyond the controlled perimeter of their mining camp.
In other words, he hadn't been captured.
If they could enlist his help to send word, it would be their best chance.
Lin Ruowei tensely stared into the distance, her voice trembling.
"This... this fellow cultivator crossed the sea and now appears before us. Fate must have brought him here—truly, heaven leaves no path untrodden."
"Even if he's no match for the Black Dragon Divine Guards, just getting a message out could save us!"
Cheng Yuxun clenched his fists, nodding fervently.
"Exactly!"
"He's an outsider like us, so he's trustworthy. With his skills, he’ll surely succeed in sending word and helping us escape!"
But their joy was short-lived. Within moments, their faces darkened.
In their line of sight—
Yi Feng continued drifting lazily forward, utterly oblivious to danger, as if aimlessly wandering.
And now, he was about to enter the mining zone!
Heaven-sent salvation was moments from falling into enemy hands!
Cheng Yuxun paled, stamping his foot in desperation.
"Disaster!"
"This brother doesn’t know the peril here—he’s still advancing! What do we do?!"
He whipped around to see Lin Ruowei equally frantic.
"It’s over..."
"Our cultivation is sealed—we can’t warn him. If this continues, our last hope is lost!"
Once inside, Yi Feng would be discovered and share their fate, dashing any hope of rescue.
Lin Ruowei grew increasingly desperate.
Scanning the area and spotting no sentries, she gritted her teeth.
"Our only choice is to risk signaling him to stop. Even if the guards catch us, there’s no other way!"
Her resolve stunned Cheng Yuxun.
Despite being a woman, her decisiveness rivaled any seasoned leader!
In this dire moment, it was their only option.
Exchanging determined glances, they nodded.
Lin Ruowei climbed onto a cart, waving frantically at the distance—silent but clear in her warning.
Cheng Yuxun and Yu'er followed suit, waving desperately.
Not far off—
Yi Feng swayed on his snail, sighing gloomily.
After days of "hunting" in the sea—enough fish to last lifetimes—he’d grown bored. He’d hoped landing in the legendary Fallen God Realm would bring excitement.
Yet here he was, stuck in a wasteland without even a hair of adventure!
Had he taken a wrong turn?
Just as existential doubt crept in, he spotted figures waving at the mountain’s base.
Squinting—
A dust-covered man and two women gestured wildly, as if hitchhiking.
Confused, Yi Feng peered closer.
The trio was filthy, faces smudged like tunnel diggers. They seemed familiar...
After inching nearer, he finally recognized the man—the captain from the ship!
Well, well.
Fancy meeting acquaintances here.
No wonder they were flagging him down.
Perhaps they could share useful intel.
Heartened, Yi Feng urged his snail forward.
"Whoosh!"
In a blink, he landed before them, dismounting with a courteous fist-palm salute.
"Such enthusiastic waving! Long time no see."
Yet—
His greeting hung in the air unanswered. The trio stood frozen, arms mid-wave, eyes wide as statues.
After all that urgency, they’d suddenly "crashed"?
Yi Feng scratched his head, baffled.
Meanwhile, Lin Ruowei’s heart plummeted from elation to ashes.
Their last hope had just evaporated.
Who could’ve predicted his snail’s blinding speed? In an instant, he’d crossed into the mining zone—dooming them all.
After a stunned silence—
Yu'er slumped weakly to the ground.
Lin Ruowei’s face twisted with guilt as she forced a stiff bow.
"Fellow cultivator..."
Their shattered expressions deepened Yi Feng’s confusion.
"What’s going on? You called me over, but now you’re mute?"
His question jolted Lin Ruowei.
Her actions had tragically misled him!
In her "cleverness," she’d ruined their only chance.
Shamefaced, she bowed lower.
"Forgive me!"
"My recklessness has doomed you too!"
Yi Feng’s bewilderment peaked.
His eyes nearly bulged into anime-style confusion circles.
"Doomed me?"
Lin Ruowei swallowed hard, forcing out the truth.
"Since landing in the Fallen God Realm, we’ve been imprisoned here—cultivation sealed, forced to mine under the Black Dragon Divine Guards’ watch."
"We’d hoped you’d send for help... but now you’ve entered the mining zone. This place is under constant surveillance. You’re trapped like us—"
"This is my fault. Punish me as you will!"
Her head dipped further, noble robes soiled, hair nearly brushing the dirt in abject remorse.
Cheng Yuxun also bowed, bracing for Yi Feng’s wrath.
Yet—
No anger came. Instead, Yi Feng’s eyes sparkled.
"Mortal danger...?"
This was his lucky day!
After a month of searching, opportunity had finally knocked!
Seeing their wretched state and heartfelt apologies, the situation seemed dire indeed...
Yi Feng perked up instantly!
"Quick, tell me what's going on?!"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life.
