"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.
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.

Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

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.
