"Dead?!"
Lei Zhan's voice instantly changed pitch.
Dead?
It was over.
The envoy was dead...
"Is there any chance of reviving him? Mr. Ye, you were too impulsive... Oh my." Lei Zhan was completely numb.
This was an envoy.
The Director of the Seventh District felt his legs give way and almost collapsed to the ground, his face as pale as a sheet:
"It's over... It's all over! Kalen died here, and the Core Sector will never let us off!"
The surrounding generals also fell into chaos, their faces full of despair.
They had finally managed to end the Outer God War and thought they could finally live a good life, but they didn't expect to provoke a catastrophic disaster in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xi was also anxious, "Mr. Ye, how about... how about we try to think of a solution? We really cannot afford to offend the Core Sector..."
Ye Chuan looked at the panic-stricken crowd, "What are you panicking for? I killed him, it has nothing to do with you."
"How could it have nothing to do with us!" Lei Zhan said anxiously,
"They will only take their anger out on the entire Blue Source Planet! When the time comes, all of us will have to be buried with Kalen!"
"Then let them come find me," Ye Chuan said flatly.
"Since they want to settle the score so badly, I'll personally take a trip to the Core Sector and settle it with them properly."
"Go to the Core Sector?" Lei Zhan froze for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Mr. Ye, it's not that we won't let you go, it's that you simply can't... The fastest curvature spaceship on Blue Source Planet would take a full thousand years to fly to the Core Sector, let alone crossing the dangerous unmanned zones."
"I don't need your spaceship." Ye Chuan raised his hand and pointed to the pure white aircraft still hovering in the sky.
"Didn't that Kalen deliver his spaceship to us? That one should be fast enough, right?"
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, only then remembering the top-tier aircraft from the Core Sector.
Lei Zhan's eyes lit up.
"Then it's settled," Ye Chuan clapped his hands. "I'll depart tomorrow. While I'm gone, you all just do whatever you need to do. If anyone from the Core Sector comes, make them wait. Wait until I get back."
"But..." Lei Zhan was still a bit worried, "What if they don't wait and just attack directly?"
"Then let them attack," Ye Chuan said. "It's a small matter. If you die, I'll just revive you directly."
Revive directly.
His tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable dominance.
Everyone subconsciously shut their mouths, looking at Ye Chuan with eyes full of awe.
They knew that the man in front of them was not joking; he could truly do the things he said!
Of course, whether Ye Chuan actually wanted to do such a thing, or if he would just conveniently stuff the people of Blue Source Planet into his banner, was unclear.
Lei Zhan took a deep breath and finally made up his mind: "Alright! Mr. Ye, we believe in you! You can use all the resources of Blue Source Planet as you please! We will guard this place and wait for your return!"
"Okay," Ye Chuan grunted in acknowledgment.
In fact, he knew very well that the Core Sector had never treated the people of these border planets as human beings.
During the many years of the Outer God invasion, apart from occasionally throwing over some obsolete weapons, they never seemed to want to resolve the issue.
But now that the Outer Gods were dead, they immediately sent that Kalen over to check the situation.
Compared to a dispensable planet, the death of an Outer God envoy was much more worthy of their attention.
Moreover, when Kalen came to find Ye Chuan, he clearly used a commanding tone, treating Ye Chuan as a research subject rather than a person.
...
Meanwhile, in the Core Sector.
The headquarters of the Supreme Academy of Sciences' Investigation Department was located here.
The entire building was made of transparent energy crystals, suspended in the universe. It was half a light-year tall, surrounded by hundreds of millions of artificial satellites that constantly scanned every corner of the Federation.
At this moment, in the command center of the Investigation Department's sub-bureau, the originally quiet and orderly atmosphere was completely shattered by an ear-piercing alarm.
"Alert, the life signal of Special Investigator Kalen, ID K-071113, has disappeared! Location of disappearance: Blue Source Planet in the B231 Star Sector!"
Augustus, the head of the Investigation Department who was processing documents, looked up, his expression unchanged.
"An investigator died."
"Then just send another one over," someone nearby spoke up.
"No, let's see what happened first. That investigator went to a low-level star sector, how could he die there... Was it because of the Outer Gods?"
That person pressed a button on the desk. "Activate the Quantum Causal Traceback System and retrieve all footage from the last ten minutes of K-071113."
"Received! Activating the Quantum Causal Traceback System..."
"Locating Kalen's timeline coordinates..."
"Coordinates located successfully! Extracting timeline fragments..."
A massive holographic screen instantly lit up, and countless complex data streams flashed by rapidly.
This was the Federation's technology—Quantum Causal Traceback. It could extract the footage of any person at any moment from the quantum fluctuations of the universe, even if they were already dead or the space they were in was completely destroyed.
A few seconds later, clear footage appeared on the screen.
It was precisely the battle scene in the Chaos Domain.
Many people looked up at the screen.
They saw Kalen summon the Starry Behemoth, saw Kalen use the Space Compression Cannon, and saw Kalen take out the Causal Particle Eraser. A pale blue light enveloped Ye Chuan, and Ye Chuan's body began to dissipate bit by bit.
Everyone's expressions were a bit strange.
He even used the Eraser, so how did this investigator die?
On the screen, the crisp sound of shattering glass rang out.
Ye Chuan, whose body had already half-dissipated, actually recondensed instantly, completely unharmed.
And that terrifying causal erasing power actually rebounded onto Kalen intact, instantly erasing his entire right arm.
"What?!" Augustus was surprised. "It rebounded?"
Before they could react, the footage on the screen changed again.
Kalen pulled out the Annihilation Particle Gun and pulled the trigger. Everyone thought Ye Chuan was dead for sure.
But another golden light flashed.
Ye Chuan revived again, completely unharmed.
The annihilation particles were similarly rebounded, and Kalen fell stiffly to the ground, completely losing all signs of life.
Finally, the footage froze on the scene where Ye Chuan casually waved his hand, completely annihilating Kalen's corpse.
The entire command center fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone's minds went completely blank.
Causal erasure, ineffective.
Annihilation particles, ineffective.
Two certain-death attacks were easily neutralized by him and even rebounded back to Kalen.
What kind of monster was this?!
"Rewind! Watch it again!" Augustus stared at the screen. "Slow down the two clips of his resurrection by a hundred times!"
The footage was slowed down by a hundred times.
They clearly saw that every time Ye Chuan was about to die, a faint golden light would erupt from his body.
That light was extremely weak, yet it saved his life and returned the attacks completely intact.
"What kind of power is this?" a researcher muttered to himself.
"It's not psionic energy, not magic... Do immortal cultivators possess such power?"
"Perhaps it is a cultivator from a high-tier star realm. Strange, why would they appear there?"
Augustus frowned. It wasn't as if he had never encountered cultivation civilizations from advanced star realms before. Soul banners were understandable, but this infinite resurrection thing...?
What could it mean?

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.”

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?! ...

"Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
