"Brother..."
"Die..."
"Brother... forever..."
"Let me devour you..."
Eerie whispers murmured in his ears. Ye Chuan could feel himself enveloped by flesh and blood, his body pierced by writhing tendrils, his meridians invaded as if every pore had been violated by those grotesque appendages.
"..."
"Bro..."
As the monster released crimson energy, siphoning Ye Chuan's life force, he teetered on the brink of unconsciousness—until his eyes snapped open. His pupils were pitch-black, deep as abyssal voids.
In the next instant, the chaotic power within him erupted, instantly devouring the monster's tendrils and reversing the flow, draining its energy instead!
"What... no... AHH?!"
The monster twisted and thrashed, but the terrifying suction was inescapable. Before Ye Chuan could even process what was happening, the creature's aura began rapidly withering.
The chaotic force spiraled out of control, shattering the cocoon of flesh around him and instead coalescing into a swirling maelstrom that swallowed the monster whole.
Simultaneously, Ye Chuan felt power surging through him, his energy soaring.

In an instant, the blood-stained sky was swallowed by roiling black clouds, arcs of lightning dancing ominously between them.
Still absorbing the monster's essence, Ye Chuan had no time to react before—
"BOOM!"
The thunder seemed eager to annihilate him. A bolt as vast as a dragon's descent split the heavens, engulfing both Ye Chuan and the monster in blinding fury.
"Hummm—"
Chaos surged. The earth fractured. Yet the lightning, instead of destroying him, refined into pure energy that nourished his body.
The monster wasn’t so fortunate. The heavenly punishment, a bane to all wickedness, scoured its flesh-bound form, tearing it apart again and again amidst agonized regeneration.
"SCREEEEEECH—!" Its shriek shook the very fabric of the world.
Desperate to escape, the monster writhed—only for Ye Chuan to seize it with tendrils of chaos, yanking it against his chest. "Running away?"
"DIE!!!!!"
The monster’s maw gaped, unleashing a chorus of tormented souls. Countless tendrils impaled Ye Chuan, only to be devoured by the chaos. Undeterred, it kept slashing at him, fighting to break free.
Ye Chuan tightened his grip, crushing every healing pill in his spatial pouch, locking them both in a brutal battle of attrition.
With each thunder strike, the crimson world flashed white. Under the relentless divine lightning and Ye Chuan’s draining grasp, the monster’s aura dimmed.
"Crack... crack-crack." Its blood-mask shattered, revealing a single eye—his sister’s. Dull, lifeless, yet flickering with struggle.
Seeing his chance, Ye Chuan roared at the sky, "HEY! SAVING YOUR STRENGTH?!"
His voice seemed to shake the heavens. The weakening lightning convulsed, arcs converging into a cataclysmic final strike.
"NO... STOP!!!!!!!!" The monster wailed.
The bolt fell. Thunder drowned them once more.
Under the divine purge, the fleshy armor clinging to his sister finally disintegrated. Ye Chuan absorbed the residual lightning.
The clouds parted. The bloodied sky faded.

......
Dawn approached.
Ye Chuan landed, cradling his sister. As the crimson horizon cleared, he glanced down—and exhaled in relief.
"That was hell." He nearly coughed blood.
Thankfully, the heavenly tribulation had weakened the monster, and chaos proved its natural counter.
"Mmm..." His sister stirred. Beneath her ash-gray bangs, round eyes blinked up at him. "Brother?"
"How do you feel?" he asked. "Better?"
She frowned. The oppressive force within her had vanished. Memories flooded back—including what she’d done.
A splitting headache seized her. Ye Chuan set her down, channeling his psyche to soothe her. After all, she was a "treasure" of red-tier rarity—he’d be damned if his efforts went to waste.
Gradually, her pain eased. She smiled. "Brother... thank you."
Ye Chuan checked her body. Her physiology was... altered. No longer human.
Her blood pulsed with unnatural life; her veins resembled living tendrils.
"Your body..." He hesitated. She seemed human fused with the monster’s essence—though the eerie aura had been purged by the lightning.
"I’m fine." She shook her head, then hesitated. "Brother... am I still a monster?"
"No." Though her form had changed, "monster" didn’t fit.
She stood, gazing at the disintegrating world. "Brother, it’s vanishing. Can you leave?"
"And you?" He noted the collapsing edges. Their time here was ending.
"I’ll stay." Her voice was hollow. "This is my punishment. I... caused all this. Let me atone."
Her words carried resignation. To her, survival itself felt like sin.
"No!" Ye Chuan grabbed her wrist. "I didn’t save you just to watch you disappear!"
"Bro...ther?" She blinked, then laughed softly. "We barely know each other, yet you’re already acting like family."
"Yeah."
"But... I don’t hate it." Her smile wavered. "I... really can keep living?"
"Simply dying isn’t the way to atone—living is." Ye Chuan tightened his grip on his little sister’s hand.
"Come on, let me collect your rent... cough I mean, let me stay with you forever."
"We’re family forever, right?"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
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)
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."

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
