"What?!"
The Supreme Chancellor sprang up from his seat.
"He wants all the civilization records? Does he have any idea what that means?"
"I know this crosses the Federation's bottom line, but his attitude leaves no room for negotiation." Suri's holographic projection stood in the center of the conference room.
"He explicitly stated that he must have them, otherwise..."
"Then we fight!"
The Commander-in-Chief of the Federation's Armed Forces slammed his hand on the table. "Sacrificing a resource galaxy wasn't enough, and now we have to lay all of civilization's assets bare for him to see? Does he really think our Federation is a pushover?"
He pointed fiercely at Ye Chuan on the screen and roared,
"I suggest mobilizing the three thousand antimatter orbital cannons in Apocalypse Star's orbit, along with the twelve interstellar fortresses surrounding the planet, to completely lock down Apocalypse Star! We'll take him down with us!"
"Take him down with us? General Raymond, you are too optimistic."
Suri shook her head. With a wave of her hand, the holographic screen immediately switched to the battle footage of Ye Chuan subduing the Starry Sky Behemoth—
The black-and-gold Chaos Avatar cleaved through the star-core breath with a single sword strike, followed by him forcibly refining and assimilating the Starry Sky Behemoth.
"Do you think three thousand orbital cannons and twelve interstellar fortresses can stop an entity like this? Every single one of the twelve Black Hole Class ships in the Starfall Fleet had a main cannon ten times more powerful than the orbital cannons, and what was the result?"
Raymond's face instantly flushed a deep, liver-red. He opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but couldn't utter a single word.
Whispers broke out across the conference room.
Everyone knew that Suri was speaking the truth.
It wasn't that they couldn't fight, but—
The price was simply unacceptable, and no one had even seen Ye Chuan use his full strength.
"Why don't we... just give them to him?"
An elderly councilor from the Outer Rim spoke up.
"He said we could filter them anyway. If we delete all the Federation's core military secrets, defense deployments, and dark political history, and just give him the civilization records, wouldn't that work? Even if that information leaks, it won't cause us any substantial loss. They are just historical records of civilizations."
"No! Absolutely not!"
"Those civilization records contain the weaknesses of the extraordinary systems across various star sectors, as well as data on ancient civilization ruins we've spent hundreds of thousands, even millions of years researching! These are the Federation's highest secrets! What if he gets this data and uses it against us?" the Minister of Technology argued.
"Do you have a better idea?"
"Can you provide a military force stronger than the Starfall Fleet, or find a way to kill him?"
"Or are you willing to watch Apocalypse Star be razed to the ground, with billions dying alongside him?"
The Minister of Technology was instantly left speechless and slumped back into his seat.
The conference room fell into a dead silence once more.
The Supreme Chancellor leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in exhaustion.
After a full ten minutes, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Suri:
"Suri, you've had the most contact with him. In your opinion, what is he really trying to do by asking for this data? Is he really just browsing?"
Suri fell silent for a moment, organizing her thoughts before speaking slowly:
"Chancellor, Councilors, I have carefully analyzed all of Ye Chuan's behavioral patterns from the moment he appeared until now, and I've found a very interesting pattern."
She waved her hand, and a timeline appeared on the holographic screen:
"Sector Seven of Blue Source Star: Kalen actively provoked him, and Ye Chuan killed Kalen."
"Alpha Space Station: The Divine Retribution Squad launched a sneak attack, and Ye Chuan annihilated the Divine Retribution Squad."
"B73 Jump Channel: Augustus privately dispatched the Starfall Fleet to intercept him, and Ye Chuan assimilated the Starfall Fleet."
"All of the conflicts were initiated by us. He has never proactively attacked an innocent person, nor has he plundered resources from any planet."
"Furthermore, he has zero interest in power and wealth."
"When I previously offered him a seat on the Supreme Council, a limitless black card, and the authority to mobilize the Federation's military, he rejected them all."
"His only proactive demand has been for these civilization records."
Suri's eyes grew firm as she directly voiced her thoughts:
"Therefore, I have a bold hypothesis—he is not here to conquer the Federation, nor is he an undercover agent for the Outer Gods. He is a lost transmigrator."
"Transmigrator?"
The people in the conference room looked at each other in dismay.
"Yes," Suri nodded.
"There are countless parallel worlds and planes in the universe. Spatial rifts and space-time turbulence can appear at any moment."
"The Federation's history has recorded hundreds of transmigration incidents. The most recent one was thirty thousand years ago, when an archmage from a magical world crossed over to our realm."
"At that time, he also went around collecting data on various civilizations, just to find a way home."
"I believe it's the same for Ye Chuan. He comes from a cultivation civilization unknown to us and accidentally transmigrated into our universe."
"He has done all this just to find a way back home from these civilization records."
"That... would explain all his motives."
Everyone exchanged glances, looks of disbelief written on their faces.
But thinking it over carefully, this hypothesis was indeed the most logical explanation.
If he wanted to conquer the Federation, he would have made his move long ago.
If he were an undercover agent for the Outer Gods, he wouldn't have purified the Outer Gods' corruption and resurrected human soldiers.
Only a lost powerhouse wanting to go home could explain all his seemingly contradictory actions.
The Supreme Chancellor pondered for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh:
"Alright, we'll do as you suggest. Immediately organize all personnel from the Supreme Academy of Sciences and the Archives Bureau to conduct a comprehensive screening of all civilization records."
His gaze turned incredibly serious. "Remember, not a single word regarding the Federation's military technology, defense deployments, or internal secrets is to remain."
"Understood!" Suri nodded solemnly. "I will go arrange it right now. I guarantee the compiled data will be delivered to you before tomorrow morning."
...
The next day, Suri appeared at the door of the mountaintop villa once again.
After the AI butler verified her identity, the heavy alloy door slowly opened.
Ye Chuan currently had his eyes closed, seemingly resting his mind.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling upon the girl.
"Mr. Ye Chuan." Suri bowed slightly in respect, handing over a palm-sized, silver-white terminal.
"Per your request, we have compiled all non-core Federation civilization records."
"This terminal is specially made by the Supreme Academy of Sciences. It contains the complete data on the histories, extraordinary systems, and Outer God invasion records of all known star sectors since the Federation's founding."
Ye Chuan took the terminal and cast a glance at it.
He didn't care about the Federation's intelligence.
All he wanted was information on the cultivation civilization, information about the destruction of the Immortal Realm.
Let me take a look.
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?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
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.”
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
