"Tsk... So the audit is finally coming?"
In the depths of the Illusory Star Cave, Chen Yi took a deep breath, his gaze flickering with a hint of nervousness.
A Primordial Chaos Creation Disk under its master's control and one where the master was asleep were two entirely different concepts!
Though Chen Yi had already wiped all evidence clean and crafted flawless fake accounts, with the second and third-in-command both assuring everything was normal, if the top leader insisted on investigating, traces of the chat group's rough usage would still be uncovered.
Especially since the true top leader was a mysterious immortal realm powerhouse. If they decided to dig deep, that flimsy veil of deception would be torn apart in an instant!
Thus, he had already prepared for the worst.
The divine senses he had infiltrated into the second and third-in-command were ready to self-destruct at any moment—flipping the table entirely. If the traces couldn’t be erased, he’d bury them under an even greater disturbance, obliterating everything!
To be extra cautious, the one-star Chaos avatar hosting the chat group had already been tossed into the void's turbulent currents. At least Mu Chen was there to keep it company, so it wouldn’t be too lonely.
If that mysterious immortal realm powerhouse somehow traced it back to the avatar, all they’d find was a dead end!
"Let’s hope the worst doesn’t happen. Starting over would be far too difficult. Mysterious immortal realm powerhouse, I hope you know when to back off..."
Chen Yi sighed faintly, cautiously monitoring the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk’s movements, ready to detonate at a moment’s notice.
But in reality, he was overthinking it. Ling Xiao hadn’t even noticed this insignificant shrimp—Chen Yi was just writing his own dramatic script!
The Primordial Chaos Creation Disk acting strangely was something Ling Xiao had anticipated, but he wasn’t concerned. In fact, he felt a sliver of relief.
Why? Because he had finally pinpointed the source of the anomaly affecting him!
Fear stemmed from the unknown. Once the truth was uncovered, it could be manipulated into an advantage.
Only an anomaly that defied the rules could influence the illogical, rule-breaking Primordial Chaos Creation Disk!
Though he didn’t know the exact nature of this anomaly’s abilities and dared not recklessly engage with it, knowing it had left traces within the chat group platform created by the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk was enough.
"Heh, back then, a single ‘Enlightenment’ threw me into chaos. Now, another inexplicable thing has appeared. Wuji, I think you’ll like this one!"
"Old friend, I hope you enjoy this little ‘gift’ I’m sending your way!"
Ling Xiao smirked sinisterly before pretending to doze off, even giving off an air of indulging whatever chaos might unfold.
After all, the lower realm was barren—hardly a place for such an anomaly to thrive. The immortal realm, rich and prosperous, was the perfect stage for it to wreak havoc!
......
"Oh? Asleep again?"
Chen Yi raised an eyebrow, sensing the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk returning to calm. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Something’s off."
"There’s no way He wouldn’t notice the traces of rough usage in the chat group. So why stop the investigation so soon?"
"What’s He planning?"
"And while it seems like He suddenly fell ill, there’s actually a pattern here."
"When I infiltrated the third-in-command, He didn’t react. When I took care of the second-in-command, He slept soundly. Even when I dismantled the will imprint of the eleventh-ranked powerhouse, He remained indifferent. But the moment I targeted the second-ranked, He suddenly went berserk!"
"Seems the top ten are bound far more tightly than I imagined. Otherwise, He wouldn’t wake up the instant I made a move."
"So... is this fake sleep a trap to lure me out?"
"Wait, is He insane? If He just investigated further, He’d catch me red-handed. Why go through all this extra trouble?!"
Chen Yi frowned deeply.
Just then, both the second-in-command’s monitoring system and the third-in-command’s backend information center received a directive simultaneously.
[The ‘Immortal Realm Trials’ function module has been fully developed. No restrictions apply. Immediate deployment to all chat groups except Group One. Simultaneously, the public zone channel will be closed.]
"???"
Chen Yi was baffled.
What kind of abstract move was this?
Had the Immortal Realm Trials module even been completed? The three veterans from Group One in the beta team hadn’t even reached the immortal realm yet!
And now it’s being rolled out to all groups?
Why exclude Group One?
Why no restrictions?
Why shut down the public zone?
"Behind this absurdity lies a scheme. What the hell is this bastard plotting?!"
Chen Yi couldn’t make sense of it, but that didn’t stop him from obediently following the top leader’s orders. For now, he’d play the role of the dutiful subordinate.
[Multiverse Transmigrators Mutual Aid Group – Group 108]
[Function Module – ‘Immortal Realm Trials’ unlocked. All members may participate. No restrictions apply.]
[Immortal Realm Runner-Up (Chen Bo): Huh? Our group hasn’t even leveled up yet. How’d we suddenly get a new function module? And it’s Immortal Realm Trials? With no restrictions? Boss, are you messing with us again?]
[I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed (Fang Zheng): Chen Bo, shut up. Plans succeed in secrecy, fail in exposure!]
[Just a Bit of Hardship (Gu Yuan): Fang, it’s good to be cautious, but are you underestimating the boss’s capabilities?]
[Unemployed Light God (Adolf Anlan): Sigh, I’ve said it a million times, but I’ll say it again—following the boss means feasting eighteen times a day!]
[I Want a Harem! (Shen Lang): Boss, I haven’t even reached the Unity Realm yet. Am I really qualified for the Immortal Realm Trials?]
[Withered Leaf Drifting in the Wind (Qin Sheng): The boss is practically spoon-feeding us. What’s there to fear? Just go for it!]
[Little Land God Lin Yuyu: Ah? Another super dungeon? I wonder if I can handle it...]
[Back to the World (Mu Chen): Bro, the winds here cut deep. You won’t even talk to me. I’m so lonely, so cold...]
[Fallen Genius (Xiao Chunan): Actually, I think everyone’s misunderstood. The boss is still offline, and Mu Chen mentioned he’s been silent the whole time. So, I believe the immortal realm is risky. Until the boss speaks up, we should hold off and consolidate our strength.]
The moment Chen Yi reactivated his chat group avatar and saw this message, he was stunned.
Given the urgency of the situation, he had taken multiple precautions before logging in to guard against the supposedly "sleeping" immortal realm powerhouse’s covert investigation. The process had been slow.
Yet, despite Fang Zheng and Gu Yuan missing the details, Xiao Chunan had noticed!
Not only that, but he’d also accurately guessed Chen Yi’s intentions?
Sure, it might’ve been a wild guess, but he’d hit the mark!
Praise-worthy indeed!
[Damn Tribulation Still Chasing Me (Group Owner): Chunan, well done. Thumbs up!]
The moment Xiao Chunan saw this message, he froze—then burst into ecstatic laughter:
"Hahaha... All those hours spent observing Fang Zheng and Gu Yuan weren’t in vain! It seems I, too, have the makings of a legendary strategist!"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
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)
