The Little Golden Dragon finally obediently squeezed into the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk, forcibly inserting itself into the conflict between Ling Xiao and Chen Yi!
Compared to Chen Yi's straightforward bullying, it despised Ling Xiao even more—this backstabbing, hypocritical "brother" who had forgotten his roots!
It was determined to team up with Chen Yi to crush Ling Xiao, avenging past grievances and finally venting its pent-up fury!
Meanwhile.
Deep within the River of Time, in an ancient era.
Ling Xiao had transformed into an unremarkable woodsman.
Before the morning mist had even dissipated, he had already slipped on his straw sandals, hoisted his well-worn iron axe over his shoulder, and set out.
His coarse linen shirt had been washed so often it had faded to a pale hue, his bronze skin rough as sandpaper. A crescent-shaped scar marked his right cheek—a souvenir from last year when a wood splinter had struck him while chopping trees.
His dew-dampened sandals crunched softly against the stone path. As he passed the old locust tree at the village entrance, he habitually ran his fingers over the peculiar symbols carved into the bark—marks left behind when he had prayed for blessings for his grandson.
To blend into this era, he had sacrificed so much that he had nearly deceived even himself.
But the results were worth it. After multiple investigations, the Supreme Immortal Court had found no anomalies and finally shifted their focus to another timeline.
"Heh, the sun isn’t as scorching today..."
He grinned, revealing a few missing teeth, his yellowed gums tinged with faint crimson. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes bunched together, concealing the otherworldly immortal light that didn’t belong to this mortal realm.
In that instant, a subtle ripple of thought pulsed across the endless river of time, halting at the point where the Supreme Immortal Court had severed its flow.
Though he couldn’t directly traverse back, he could still receive echoes of will imprints from the future.
Soon, Ling Xiao pinpointed the perfect moment to intervene!
At that very moment, Chen Yi and the Little Golden Dragon had just finished scheming and were jointly devouring Ling Xiao’s will imprints, which occupied half the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk.
According to their plan, aside from the three-tenths sealed by the Heaven-Earth Supreme Seal, the remaining seven-tenths would be split—Chen Yi taking at most two-tenths, the Little Golden Dragon one and a half, while Ling Xiao would retain three and a half.
Just as they were engrossed in their plunder—
Suddenly!
Ling Xiao’s dormant will imprints surged to life, manifesting as an ethereal avatar that glared furiously at the two intruders.
"You... have some nerve!"
A vast wave of willpower erupted, startling Chen Yi and the Little Golden Dragon.
"Well, well, if it isn’t Ling Xiao?" Chen Yi’s split consciousness sneered without hesitation. "Long time no see! Why so weak? Where’s that domineering energy you had when you sealed me away? Lost your edge?!"
But Ling Xiao ignored him entirely, his gaze locked onto the Little Golden Dragon. "You’re alive?!"
The Little Golden Dragon glared back with hatred. "You’re still breathing—why wouldn’t I be?!"
Ling Xiao fell silent for a moment before abruptly shifting his tone. "I... regret what I did. It was a moment of madness. Only after losing you did I realize my mistake. All these years, I’ve lived with nothing but remorse. If I could do it over, I’d choose to cherish you, even if it cost me my throne as Immortal Emperor."
"Pathetic!" The Little Golden Dragon scoffed coldly. "You think I’m still the same fool? I don’t believe a single word you say!"
Ling Xiao’s avatar wore a look of sorrow. "I know I’ve wronged you beyond measure. I don’t dare ask for forgiveness. But whether you believe me or not, everything I say is true. Here—I’ll return what’s yours."
With that, he actually began transferring his control over the disk’s regions to the Little Golden Dragon!
???
The Little Golden Dragon’s mind short-circuited again. This wasn’t part of Chen Yi’s plan!
He’s... actually giving it back?
Could he really mean—
No!
Think differently—judge by outcomes!
He’s playing me!
He still wants to use me!
If I accept this "repayment," then... then the Supreme Immortal Court will inevitably turn its sights on me. Not only will Ling Xiao’s treasures be at risk, but so will I!
The Primordial Chaos Creation Disk is too deeply tied to Ling Xiao. The Supreme Immortal Court would surely refine me to track him down!
The only way to avoid being refined is to board Ling Xiao’s sinking ship and follow him into the abyss!
Oh, he’s good. Still ruthless as ever!
But I’m not the same fool I used to be!
Chen Yi taught me never to take things at face value. I’m smarter now—I won’t fall for your tricks again!
"I won’t—"
"What’s all this muttering? Am I invisible?!"
Before the Little Golden Dragon could refuse, Chen Yi suddenly lashed out!
This idiot dragon was still too naive, unable to mask its true intentions. If it spilled everything, Chen Yi would lose the upper hand!
Ling Xiao was too cunning—he couldn’t be allowed to control the narrative!
Time to stir the pot!
"Mine! All of it is mine! Who said you could touch my things?!"
Without another word, Chen Yi’s split consciousness lunged forward, snatching at the shares of both Ling Xiao and the Little Golden Dragon!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
