Absolutely right, the Purple Star Heavenly Dao's nose is incredibly sharp!
The moment Brother Yi unfurled the Divine Scroll, it caught a whiff of an incredibly enticing fragrance!
No doubt about it—after such a long seclusion, Brother Yi must have prepared a massive surprise for it!
And a surprise, by definition, is only a surprise when you don’t see it coming. If you already knew, could it still be called a surprise?
So, the Purple Star Heavenly Dao pretended not to know. It was waiting for Brother Yi to take the initiative and reveal it, at which point it would unleash its suppressed excitement!
But alas, Brother Yi was far too sharp—he saw right through the act, forcing it to drop the act and be direct.
"Brother Yi, you’ve got a surprise for me, don’t you? Come on, hand it over—I want it!"
"You’re impossible..." Chen Yi chuckled helplessly before flipping his hand to produce a pure, True Immortal-grade Law Origin. He continued,
"This is a fully matured True Immortal-grade Heavenly Dao Law Origin. How’s that half-finished one I gave you before coming along? If you haven’t fully digested it, you won’t be able to handle this one!"
Without hesitation, the Purple Star Heavenly Dao replied, "Brother Yi, the core origin from Little Flying Star’s drive system worked wonders—I finished digesting it ages ago! The only issue is the severe manpower shortage. Without enough hands to elevate the fortune, the world’s foundation isn’t thick enough, which is why I haven’t advanced further!"
"But now... can I use these otherworldly cultivators? They seem pretty resilient under pressure!"
The Purple Star Heavenly Dao was indeed protective of its own—it couldn’t bear to assign the toughest jobs to its own people. But for these outsiders... well, some jobs just needed doing!
Chen Yi nodded slightly. "No problem, but only after you’ve digested this Law Origin and raised your grade. Otherwise, you won’t be able to suppress them—there’s even a True Immortal among them."
"No worries, Brother Yi! Give me a month, and I won’t let you down!"
The Purple Star Heavenly Dao’s tone was resolute as it immediately took the Law Origin and began refining it!
Brother Yi had given it far too much—the debt of gratitude was immense, impossible to repay!
The only way was to work twice as hard and catch up to Brother Yi’s pace as soon as possible!
BZZZT!!!
The heavens trembled as the Flying Star-brand drive core revved up to full power!
Watching the drive core push beyond its limits, its potential seemingly inexhaustible, Chen Yi couldn’t help but recall his identity as the Celestial Master of the Flying Star Continent.
Come to think of it, it had been ages since he last checked in on the Flying Star Heavenly Dao after teaching it the "Falsity Mirrors Reality" technique.
If Purple Star could wield such formidable power with just a drive core, then Flying Star—the original—shouldn’t be doing too poorly after mastering the technique, right?
With that thought, Chen Yi immediately opened the chat group.
[Multiverse Transmigrators Mutual Aid Group #108 (Offline Protection Active)]
[I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice (Fang Zheng): Bros, I’m done consolidating. Blazing Sun Secret Realm trial, one spot open, need two tanks—I’ll main DPS!]
[Unemployed Light God (Adolf Anlan): Fang, bro, take a break. Are you a perpetual motion machine? Training every three days—aren’t you afraid of burning out?]
[Runner-Up of the Cultivation World (Chen Bo): Then count me in. I’m not grinding—I’m just saying, that lost runner-up throne? I’m taking it back!]
[The Sword Immortal Who Travels Light (Zhou Zheng): My blade is no less sharp!]
[I Want a Harem! (Shen Lang): Holy hell, this isn’t grinding? Fang trains every three days, Bo’s cut it down to two and a half—brothers, please, stop! Remember three years ago? My combat power was multiples ahead of yours, even dozens of times higher. Now? You’ve all surpassed me!]
[The Fallen Genius (Xiao Chunan): That was then, this is now. If you’re weak, train harder! Fang, I’ll join you!]
[Building in Another World (Wang Jian): Hahaha, the heroes of this world are as countless as fish in a river. I give up—I can’t keep up with this grind (defeated.jpg).]
[Just a Few Hardships (Gu Yuan): Sigh, I haven’t made progress in ages. Breaking through to True Immortal is truly a wall. Keep chasing, brothers—I’ll be waiting for you at the peak!]
[The Withered Leaf Departs the Wind (Qin Sheng): Bros, anyone want a dragon pet? A Sacred Dragon, pure-blooded, limitless potential—perfect for home, travel, or adventuring! First come, first served!]
[The Crow Takes Flight (Liu Bo): Qin, give it up. That little dragon of yours is a headache for anyone who meets it!]

"Tsk tsk... only my own group members can deliver this kind of vibe..."
Watching the messages flood in, Chen Yi couldn’t help but smirk.
His group members were like family—he knew them inside out, instantly grasping their banter. It was a familiarity he never found in other groups.
Perfect. Once they’d grown enough, it’d be time to bring them to the Purple Star Continent to work.
This was the foundation of his inner circle—unlike the old-timers from Purple Star, who only obeyed out of fear for his power and still schemed behind his back.
If not for the fact that the continent was still in its infancy, with no alternatives to shoulder the burden, Chen Yi would’ve long since purged the parasites among them.
No rush. Once Purple Star refined the True Immortal-grade Law Origin and ascended, and once the Faith System was implemented to solidify the foundation—then they’d get what was coming to them!
With that in mind, Chen Yi typed into the group.
[TM Damn Tribulation’s Still Chasing Me (Group Owner): @The Sword Immortal Who Travels Light, Zhou Zheng, how’s the Flying Star Heavenly Dao doing?]
The moment the message appeared, the lively chat fell dead silent.
In Group #108, the owner going offline was the norm—everyone was used to it. Though they missed him during his absences, his sudden return always brought a wave of tension.
After all, every time the owner reappeared after a long disappearance, he never failed to drop a bombshell.
The first time was a pop quiz, the second was a group-wide calamity, the third was getting banned for cheating...
What fresh chaos was he bringing this time?
They feared his absence, yet dreaded his return!
As for Zhou Zheng, the one called out, he remained unflustered and replied calmly.
[The Sword Immortal Who Travels Light (Zhou Zheng): Boss, Flying Star’s been... acting strange lately. It keeps trembling out of nowhere, shouting things like ‘It’s done, finally done!’ and ‘What’s real, what’s fake? I can’t tell—who can?!’ It’s got the whole continent on edge.
I was going to report it, but the Heavenly Dao sensed my intention and forbade me from telling you. It insisted on waiting until it succeeded before sharing the good news!
Normally, I wouldn’t agree, but I couldn’t refuse. Plus, the cultivation environment has been improving—training’s become easier, so it doesn’t seem like a crisis. That’s why I held off.
But something still feels off. Should you come take a look?]

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)

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!

world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...

iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
