After Lilith retreated back into the jade pendant, Ye Chuan lazily stretched out on the bed.
Someone else’s bed sure was comfortable to sleep in.
And he didn’t even have to clean it up.
As usual, he waited until midnight for the refresh, but Ye Chuan noticed he was still in a resurrecting state—the Tianxuan Continent in the adventure world remained grayed out.
After all, revival didn’t happen instantly after death. Unlike his Qi Refining days when he could die and revive almost daily, the higher his cultivation grew, the longer the resurrection time became.
"Still not revived yet." Ye Chuan routinely harvested the sunflowers at home, earning coins, items, and points. He loved this mobile game-like feeling—logging in every day to claim rewards.
Next, he duplicated some crystal cores and allocated a few skill points on the tech tree. Since the new batch of crystal cores hadn’t arrived yet, the progress was minimal.
After scanning the points shop and finding only meager rewards, he returned to the adventure world interface.
The Tianxuan Continent was off-limits for now.
But the buttons for other worlds weren’t grayed out.
Meaning Ye Chuan could choose to enter another world.
"If I can pick another world…"
"Let’s see… Besides [Tianxuan Continent], there’s Lilith’s [Aiser Continent] and Ke Ning’s [New Era]."
As for Lan Xiaoke’s supernatural world, it was randomly refreshed in the shop, and Ye Chuan only occasionally stumbled upon a one-time entry key.
"Well, if Tianxuan’s unavailable, I’ll head to Aiser Continent then." Having made up his mind, Ye Chuan selected Aiser Continent without hesitation.
"Aiser Continent, launch—"
[Landing Point: Aiser Continent]
[You appear in a town within the northeastern territory of the Hill Empire on Aiser Continent]
[The Western fantasy-style architecture around you feels entirely different from Tianxuan Continent. The moon hangs high in the sky, yet for some reason, the energy flowing in the air still feels like spiritual power…]
["Spiritual power? So-called ‘magic’ is just a rebranded name for it, huh?"]
[This mysterious force is called "spiritual power" in Tianxuan Continent and "magic" in Aiser Continent.]
["But why would two different worlds share the same energy?" You find this puzzling.]
[Curious about your surroundings, you decide to…]
[1. Leave the town]
[2. Head to a crowded area]
…
Ye Chuan didn’t use full-dive adventure mode, opting for text-based gameplay instead—simply because he was tired and didn’t feel like diving into a new world headfirst. Text adventure was the most comfortable way to experience it.
Though it lacked fine control, it saved effort, especially since it didn’t consume an entire day.
It made Ye Chuan feel like he was clocking in for work.
"Let’s go where the people are. Can’t have a repeat of Tianxuan’s ‘instant death’ opening, right?" Ye Chuan chose the crowded option without hesitation.
Magic immunity + supernatural immunity + infinite mana + army of clones!
You think you can one-shot me?!
[You choose to head to a busy area. Your furtive glances catch the attention of a passing man, who grins and whispers to you.]
[Man: "Hey buddy, you here for the Big Melons Succubus Parlor, aren’t ya?"]
[You look confused: Succubus?]
[Your choices…]
[1. Elaborate on ‘Big Melons Succubus’]
[2. Ignore him]
[3. Snap back (triggers combat)]
Succubus?
Fitting for a magic continent, but Ye Chuan figured a random guy approaching him couldn’t be trustworthy—and the so-called "succubus parlor" was probably shady too!
Still, to gather intel on this world…
He had no choice but to investigate the succubi thoroughly.
["Succubi? Sounds interesting." You show curiosity, and the man points in a direction.]
["Right over there." He gives you a knowing look before walking off.]
[Following his directions, you enter an alley filled with a faint, perfumed scent.]
[You spot an entrance where partially clad figures linger—small black wings, swaying slender tails.]
An illustration pops up: a monochrome succubus, half-covered yet undeniably cute.
["So these are succubi?" Your muttering draws their attention.]
["Right this way, guest~" A petite succubus skips over, looping her arm around yours. "Special deal today~ Ten silver coins for a full package~"]
[Your choices…]
[1. Enter (grayed out)]
[2. Admit you’re broke]
[3. Freeload]
"Those ‘melons’ aren’t even that big." Ye Chuan eyed the illustration. Pretty, sure, but silver coins…
Probably this world’s currency, right?
Likely copper, silver, and gold coins.
"Hmm…"
But Ye Chuan had no money—neither real-world cash nor spirit stones worked here.
Freeload?
[You confess your lack of funds. The succubus looks shocked: "No money? Then no entry, guest~"]
[She suddenly giggles, nuzzling you playfully. "Come back when you’re loaded~"]
[Kicked back to the streets, you decide to…]
[1. Return and freeload]
[2. Find a way to earn money]
[3. Leave town]
"Gotta make some cash." Sitting on the bed, Ye Chuan pondered the options.
That succubus was kinda cute, though.
"Wait." It hit him—why was he obsessing over succubi?
"No, what’s wrong with that? Places like these are perfect for intel-gathering!"
What’s life for?
Enjoyment.
"Aiser’s more fun than Tianxuan, where I used to die daily." Sighing, Ye Chuan focused on the choices. Either way, money first.
[You seek ways to earn cash and ask around.]
["If you’re strong, try the Adventurer’s Guild for quests," suggests a little girl.]
["Soft and fresh, hehehe… Never touched a succubus? Quit while you’re ahead. Money? What money?" A drugged-up man cackles.]
["Sell fish with me! Twenty silvers a month!" offers a fishmonger.]
["Money? Just ask Father! He showers me in gold!" scoffs a haughty noblewoman.]
[Your choices…]
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy!

Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
