"At 10 PM yesterday, bizarre incidents occurred suddenly across multiple regions in the country, with spatial rifts appearing without warning in cities, rural areas, and other locations."
"These rifts varied in shape and size, with some emitting eerie energy fluctuations, sparking extreme panic among the public."
"As the rifts emerged, unknown monsters poured out from within. These creatures, grotesque and terrifying in appearance, caused severe destruction wherever they went, posing a direct threat to civilian lives and safety, while pushing social order to the brink of collapse."
"Following the incidents, the nation swiftly activated its highest-level emergency response. The military immediately deployed elite forces to all affected areas, coordinating with local police and drones for rescue and containment operations."
"After over ten hours of intense combat, the military successfully repelled all monsters. Currently, stability has largely been restored in multiple cities, though relevant authorities continue monitoring and cleanup efforts to prevent similar incidents from recurring."
"The successful handling of this crisis fully demonstrates the country’s efficient organizational capabilities and formidable emergency response strength, as well as the military’s unwavering resolve to protect the homeland and its people with fearless courage."
"Once again, we urge residents in cities yet to fully recover to stay indoors to avoid unnecessary danger."
"That concludes our report on this incident."
Ye Chuan sat on his living room couch and picked up the remote to turn off the TV news broadcast.
The rift incident in his city had indeed ended overnight, and the monsters that emerged were no match for modern military firepower—they were quickly riddled with bullets.
However, given the sheer number of rifts, the military couldn’t rescue every city immediately. Aside from Ye Chuan’s city, many others were still battling the creatures.
"But compared to those monsters from the spatial rifts…" Ye Chuan turned his gaze toward a figure lying on the couch.
"What’s the deal with this one?"
On the couch lay a young woman in a white lab coat, her short bob framing her face as she remained unconscious.
Luo Xi had brought her back.
She claimed the girl had fallen out of a spatial rift.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuan immediately took her home.
"Chuan, she doesn’t seem like a monster. That place was way too dangerous," Luo Xi said, standing nearby and observing the girl.
Dressed in modern attire, she looked nothing like the creatures they’d seen.
But Ye Chuan checked his phone—this girl was likely connected to the new tenants, which was why he’d brought her back.
Since she hadn’t woken up yet, he had no idea who she was.
Wearing such contemporary clothing—which world did she come from?
Would the new tenants include modern people too?
As Ye Chuan pondered, Luo Xi tugged at his sleeve and held up her phone. "Chuan, look at this."
Ye Chuan turned—
On Luo Xi’s screen was a video showing Ye Chuan himself wielding the Crimson Peak Sword, facing thousands of demonic beasts. Like a scene from a blockbuster, he cut them down one by one with effortless precision.
Ye Chuan hadn’t expected the footage to be recorded, let alone in such high definition.
Humans truly never missed a chance to pull out their phones, even in the most perilous moments.
"Chuan, are you hiding something from me?" Luo Xi asked, her tone teasing, as if she’d caught a cheating cat. "Hmph, hmph."
"Nope," Ye Chuan shrugged.
Luo Xi pouted adorably and pinched his arm. "Oh, really? You think I’m that easy to fool?"
"I’m serious," Ye Chuan said, raising his hands innocently.
"Remember when I told you at the barbecue stall? I met a rich immortal lady who taught me cultivation. You even said I should write a novel about it."
Luo Xi blinked, her expression faltering.
Oh… right. He had mentioned that.
Ye Chuan pointed at Bai Qianshuang, who sat quietly sipping tea nearby. "Yeah, that’s the rich lady."
Bai Qianshuang tilted her head slightly, expressionless.
Rich lady?
"I thought you were joking!"
"See? You didn’t believe me, and now you’re blaming me for keeping secrets." Ye Chuan pinched Luo Xi’s cheek and sighed dramatically. "Life’s tough."
"Hmph, you always disguise the truth as jokes," Luo Xi retorted, knowing him all too well.
Ye Chuan chuckled.
"Chuan, what’s going to happen to us now? With monsters appearing everywhere, how can ordinary people protect themselves?" Luo Xi’s voice carried a hint of worry.
Their neighborhood hadn’t been attacked last night, so their parents were safe. But if something had happened… Luo Xi didn’t even want to imagine the consequences.
Rumors said many had died in the incident.
"We’ll live as we always have. Should we stop eating or living just because there’s danger?" Ye Chuan replied. "Though things might change from now on."
The internet had already gone wild—first over the rift monsters, then over the emergence of superhumans.
The crisis had forced many superhumans to reveal themselves, and their existence had sent shockwaves online.
Monsters were one thing, but now there were people with supernatural abilities too?
It felt like a novel’s plot had come to life—everyone was leveling up, only to realize they were just NPCs… cannon fodder!
"So that’s why you suddenly became stronger and richer," Luo Xi murmured, finally connecting the dots.
But it didn’t matter. Ye Chuan was still Ye Chuan.
No matter how he changed, to Luo Xi, he’d always be the same.
"Classes at Silver Mountain Academy are suspended for now. Let’s just stay home these next few days, okay?" Luo Xi suggested.
The academy had suffered minimal casualties, thanks to Ye Chuan and Bai Qianshuang’s intervention. Aside from initial losses, things had stabilized quickly.
"Mm."
Ye Chuan’s gaze returned to the unconscious girl on the couch. She slept peacefully, her steady breathing the only sign she wasn’t dead.
"Even the Revitalizing Pill didn’t work." Ye Chuan turned to their resident loli elder. "Lilith, can you figure out what’s wrong?"
"Mental exhaustion. She just needs to sleep it off," Lilith answered.
Sleep?
"How long?"
"Three to five days, at least."
Hearing this, Ye Chuan scooped up the girl and carried her to a spare room.

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.

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...
