The two generals, Wind and Cloud, felt a tingling sensation on their scalps. If they were forced to listen to these two esteemed individuals any longer, they would surely collapse on the spot.
Therefore, they hurriedly exclaimed, "No, that's not true. It's really not like that."
"Yeah, yeah, something unexpected has happened. The target we had identified didn't even unlock the seal of the Barren Land."
As soon as their voices fell,
the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.
The World Destroyer and the Cloud Top King, who had been smiling, also had their expressions darken in an instant.
"What did you just say?"
The Cloud Top King's voice became hoarse as he asked, "Did you say there's been a change, and the target person didn't unlock the seal?"
"Speak up, what exactly happened?"
The two generals trembled in fear, but they had no choice but to gather their courage and truthfully say, "Your Majesty, Lord Destroyer, the target person indeed did not unlock the seal of the Barren Land. It's as if the seal was never found at all."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, both the World Destroyer and the Cloud Top King became flustered.
The World Destroyer even grabbed the two generals, his voice filled with suppressed anger as he asked, "Then tell me, where is he now? Is he still in the Barren Land?"
"No, he's not."
Wind, sweating profusely, said, "He flew away a long time ago."
"Flew away?"
The World Destroyer and the Cloud Top King were utterly bewildered.
"But that doesn't make sense!" The World Destroyer quickly realized and said, "If this person didn't unlock the seal of the Yellow Sky, how could there be omens related to the Fortune Immortal Pillar?"
Upon hearing this,
the Cloud Top King also quickly understood and exclaimed in surprise, "Yes, although the Fortune Immortal Pillar can generate some minor changes on its own, the current omens are definitely not minor. Something significant must have happened, affecting a major fortune."
"Tell me, are you deceiving me?"
The Cloud Top King, who had just been smiling, grabbed Wind and Cloud and with a forceful grip, lifted them into the air. The immense strength seemed to suction them in place.
"We dare not, Your Majesty. We are not deceiving you. We just hadn't finished speaking," Wind and Cloud, with mournful faces, said with difficulty.
"So you can't finish your fart all at once?" The Cloud Top King, with a face full of anger, said and slapped Wind and Cloud, sending them sprawling to the ground.
Upon hearing this,
Wind and Cloud were on the verge of tears.
It was clearly the two esteemed individuals who didn't give us a chance to speak.
Of course, this kind of grumbling could only be kept to themselves. They didn't dare to say it out loud. So they quickly recounted the rest of the events, in detail: "Although the target person didn't directly break the seal and leave, later, the Yellow Sky broke out of the seal on its own."
"What?"
At these words, a thousand waves surged.
It also made the World Destroyer and the Cloud Top King widen their eyes, their facial expressions rapidly changing.
"Hahaha!"
Finally, the two of them exchanged a glance and suddenly burst into laughter.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is."
"It seems like luck is on my side!"
The laughter of these two individuals left Wind and Cloud dumbfounded.
Have these two esteemed individuals lost their minds?
Are they unable to understand the gravity of the situation?
The two generals were anxious, wanting to quickly explain everything that had happened afterward.
However, just as they were about to speak, the Cloud Top King returned with a changed expression and gently helped them up.
"Oh, my dear ministers, I misunderstood you earlier," the Cloud Top King said with a pleasant demeanor. "Although an unexpected turn of events has occurred, it aligns perfectly with our intentions."
"After all our planning, no matter how distant the target individual's relationship with us, there will always be some karmic forces involved."
"But if Yellow Sky were to break free from the seal on his own, it would be completely different. It would mean that we are not involved in any karmic entanglements and still achieve the desired outcome. Isn't that exactly what we want?"
"Hahaha!"
"So, you two need not panic. I will still reward you handsomely."
"Yes, the king is right. This turn of events aligns with our desires," said the Destroyer of the World, his face changing from one expression to another, eventually settling into a smiling face. He continued, "Therefore, for you two distinguished contributors, it will not be just a reward but a grand and special one!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Lord Destroyer of the World."
"Our Cloud Top Empire will endure for eternity!"
At that moment,
The entire palace was filled with joyous expressions, and countless experts in the court knelt down, offering warm congratulations.
But Wind and Cloud Two Generals couldn't hold back their tears.
Congratulations, my foot!
What kind of nonsense about aligning with our desires?
What kind of nonsense about enduring for eternity?
Can't you let us finish speaking first?
Desperate, they hurriedly knelt down and anxiously pleaded, "Your Majesty, Lord Destroyer of the World, it's not what you think, please listen to what we have to say..."
But once again, their words were interrupted by the Cloud Top King.
"Hush!"
He raised his index finger to his lips and whispered, "The omen of the Fortune Immortal Pillar has passed, and a great change is about to begin. My Cloud Top Empire will also follow our master, and our fortune will greatly increase. In this epic moment, everyone must keep silent and observe closely!"
With that,
He waved his hand.
A powerful force permeated the entire palace, silencing all sounds.
Having done all this,
The Cloud Top King and the Destroyer of the World exchanged a glance and curved their lips, directing their sharp gazes toward the Fortune Immortal Pillar.
The other experts in the palace also showed expressions of anticipation.
Together, they awaited the imminent great changes that would occur to the Fortune Immortal Pillar!
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)

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.
