In the depths of a resplendent starry river within a mysterious universe...
A bizarre point of light slowly rotated, its terrifying gravitational force distorting everything around it, forming a dazzling vortex of space-time that ceaselessly devoured the surrounding cosmic void!
If left unchecked, the entire universe would be doomed to annihilation!
Yet, just beyond the radiant space-time vortex, a tall woman clad in a flowing, snow-white celestial robe waved her jade-like hand. Ethereal Dao rhythms transformed into shimmering stardust, restraining and suppressing the rampaging light.
A vivid crimson cinnabar dot adorned her forehead, while her fair, jade-like skin glowed with a crystalline radiance, resembling a blood-red plum blossom blooming in a snowy night—cold yet translucent.
Her willow-leaf brows seemed to carry the mist of distant mountains, and her deep, limpid eyes were like an unfathomable icy pool, swirling with the vastness of the starry heavens. Her long, dense lashes fluttered like butterfly wings, stirring ripples in the depths of one's soul. Her nose was straight and delicate, and her lips, vermilion and glistening, made her seem like a celestial maiden who had descended to the mortal realm.
"Qianxue, what exactly have you encountered?"
Her whisper was like the first trickling stream of spring, melting the ice—clear, lively, and enchanting.
[The Little Brat Who Never Gains Weight (Prestigious Peak Rank #2): Hey Qianxue, weren’t you coming to me for answers? When are you arriving?]
"Nooo, Sister Lingxi! Not that, please!!!"
In the desolate halls of the Gaodao Immortal Manor, the helpless account owner Han Qianxue could only watch in furious despair.
She could only watch—she could do nothing, protect nothing...
[The Eldest Miss of the Han Family in Gaodao (Peak Rank #11): Sister Lingxi, just you wait! Once I’m done here, I’ll come find you—I swear!]
Inside the Illusory Star Cave Realm, Chen Yi smirked.
Acting like drama queens, aren’t they? Keep pretending!
Since the stage is already set, wouldn’t it be a waste if I, the protagonist, didn’t make my entrance?
You fools think you can toy with me online? Just wait till we meet offline—don’t come crying to me!
[The Little Brat Who Never Gains Weight (Prestigious Peak Rank #2): Then come! It’s been so long—I’ve missed you, sister.]
[AAAA Construction Queen (Peak Rank #16): Lingxi darling, Qianxue darling, I miss you both too! Let’s have a proper reunion!]
[So It’s the Imperial Uncle (Peak Rank #25): Sisters, mind if I shamelessly invite myself along?]
[Shanhai (Peak Rank #21): The one above loves reading the Spring and Autumn Annals. Personally, I think "The Carnal Prayer Mat" pairs well with "The Plum in the Golden Vase." The "Lampwick Monk" writes "Unofficial History of the Embroidered Couch," while "The Tale of the Infatuated Old Woman" appears in "Apricot Blossoms Under the Moon." "The Delightful Lord’s Tale"... [Details expanded]]
[Hard to Part Now (Peak Rank #20): Meng Yuan, you’ve got quite the eclectic taste—get out!]
[Dust-Heart Dream (Peak Rank #14): Classic you, Old Meng! Such extensive reading—even Yu Zian, the Confucian cultivator, can’t match your breadth of knowledge!]
[Realm of Heavenly Dao’s Cycle (Peak Rank #18): No thanks, don’t @ me. I don’t read indecent books!]
[Escaped Salty Fish Rice (Peak Rank #12): Isn’t this art, though?]
[God GG Blast (Peak Rank #29): You just said "art," right? The highest form of art is Patrick Star! Speaking of high-level... (laughing.jpg)]
[Transcendent Heavenly Venerable (Peak Rank #30): Brother Zhu, hold off on the high-level talk—let’s hear the boss’s plan first. I’m feeling uneasy!]
[God GG Blast (Peak Rank #29): Little Ye, don’t take it the wrong way—are you seriously this sensitive?]
[A Pickled Fish (Group Owner, Supreme and Unrivaled Peak Rank #1): Everyone, ease off the gas pedal and let go of the steering wheel. Listen up—here’s the plan:
First, the top fifteen in the Peak Rankings must covertly secure all Demon-Slaying Trial Grounds within sixty hours!
Second, the remaining fifteen will split into five squads and, within the same timeframe, conquer the following Exorcism Dungeons: Nos. 1, 3, 7, 8, 11, 19, 21, 25, 27, 31, and 33!
The operation begins three days from now, synchronized with the leaderboard reward refresh. The signal will be a black screen—passphrase: "Primordial Unity!"
Acknowledge!]
[The Little Brat Who Never Gains Weight (Prestigious Peak Rank #2): Understood!]
[Qianling’s Spark (Peak Rank #4): Clear!]
[...]
[Transcendent Heavenly Venerable (Peak Rank #30): Received!]
In the Cloud-Piercing Heavenly Palace of the Nine Heavens Spirit Domain...
Ye Chen watched as his account automatically replied to the message, his expression calm—even amused.
If his guess was right, the group owner, "Boss," would soon send a private directive.
Publicly one plan, privately another—clever indeed. In theory, any moles in the group would be none the wiser.
But now...
I’ve become a mole too!
And an undetected one at that!
Though he didn’t know how powerful the other mole’s backer was, the one behind him... was terrifyingly overpowered!
Boss, it’s not that I want to betray you—if I had any other choice, I wouldn’t be in this mess. I really tried my best!
Not that chatting nonsense in the group and having endless immortal spirit stones to spend was bad... but switching sides could mean even greater freedom!
As expected, the boss’s private message soon arrived.
[A Pickled Fish (Supreme and Unrivaled Peak Rank #1): The fake plan in the group proceeds as usual, but don’t exert yourselves—treat it like a normal trial. The real operation will be announced separately. Acknowledge!]
[Transcendent Heavenly Venerable (Peak Rank #30): Received!]
Ye Chen: ...
Just so you know, it wasn’t me who replied "Received"!
So when you crash and burn, Boss, don’t blame me—I truly had no choice!
Meanwhile, in the Illusory Star Cave Realm...
Chen Yi also received a private message from the "Little Golden Dragon."
[A Pickled Fish: Chen Yi, you there?]
[TMDF Immortal Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Nope.]
[A Pickled Fish: ...]
[A Pickled Fish: Stop joking—I need your help with something!]
[TMDF Immortal Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Is this how you ask for a favor? You won’t even call me "Brother Yi"!]
[A Pickled Fish: Ugh—fine! Brother Yi, your little brother humbly requests your assistance. May I?]
[TMDF Immortal Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Speak!]
[A Pickled Fish: So, our Peak Rank #3 suffered a major setback while breaking through to the Profound Immortal Realm. His Dao heart was damaged, and now he’s plagued by ominous afflictions, trapped in a daze. I see this as an opportunity—since his true spirit is in a muddled state, it’s the perfect time to purge the influence of the Lingxiao Will. I’d like you to intervene.]
[TMDF Immortal Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Didn’t you say you could control all beings who’ve used the Lingxiao Treasury’s resources? Why can’t you now?]
[A Pickled Fish: Those below the top ten, yes. But the top ten... their bond with the Lingxiao Will is too deep. If Lingxiao insists, I might not be able to stop it. You know how it is—Lingxiao may be wicked, but he’s no pushover!]
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?!
ver to a world of cultivation and returned invincible. Modern medicine is child's play compared to elixirs; technological might crumbles before true cultivation. My name is Qin Ning, Earth's sole cultivator!
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)
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...
