Upon receiving Xu Jinghong’s secret message, the Little Golden Dragon was utterly shocked.
It had long anticipated Han Qianxue being controlled, but it never expected Chen Yi to be so ruthless!
Even the fundamental laws of the Qingyun Heavenly Dao had been snatched away—how could Han Qianxue possibly fare well?
She must have been drained of everything!
Tsk, how tragic!
That inherently wicked Chen Yi truly deserves to die!
At this thought, the Little Golden Dragon grew increasingly frantic.
It had to escape this quagmire as soon as possible—otherwise, even if it wasn’t refined again by Ling Xiao, it would be completely devoured by the ruthless bandit Chen Yi!
“There are only three hours left until the uprising. Old Xu is currently by Chen Yi’s side, and with Han Qianxue acting as a mole feeding real-time updates, he’s bound to get involved...”
“How can I exploit the information gap to catch him off guard?”
“And Ling Xiao will definitely show up to join the chaos. The best scenario is to divert his focus onto Chen Yi while I slip through the mess, seize a third of the chat group, then self-destruct my foundation—leaving the two of them to fight over the wreckage...”
“But is a third too little? Though my manpower is limited...”
“Ye Wuchen, the leader of Group Two, might be useful, but he’s practically sharing pants with Chen Yi—no good...”
“Group Three’s leader Feng Ke is a brute, Group Four’s Long Ming is too soft, Group Five’s Ying Nuo uses his real name online—too honest, Group Six’s... oh, there isn’t one. Group Seven’s Lin Gouyu could work—currently ranked 32nd on the Peak Leaderboard, just behind Ye Wuchen—but he’s too cautious, likely to retreat at the first sign of trouble...”
“Sigh. In such a massive chat group, I can barely find a handful of usable people. Fine, a third it is—I’ll take the loss... Let’s do it!”
Having made up its mind, the Little Golden Dragon’s serpentine pupils gleamed with cunning light.
Meanwhile, in the Phantom Star Abyss of the Purple Star Continent...
Chen Yi’s gaze was dark and calculating as he secretly monitored Ling Xiao’s will, which had been cast into the void’s turbulent currents.
The big dumb dragon wasn’t a concern—Ling Xiao’s erratic movements were the real priority!
A single misstep could lead to falling into his trap, leaving no room for error!
Yet the once-desolate Phantom Star Abyss was no longer cold and lonely.
It was now crowded—nineteen cultivators from the Qingyun Continent lay strewn across the ground, while Xu Jinghong, also from another world, squatted nearby, cradling the Xiuzhi Divine Statue with a foolish grin.
The incense-based divine system of the Divine Land was still under review, riddled with too many issues to transplant directly into the Purple Star Continent. So, for now, Xu Jinghong could only hug the statue and grin like an idiot until the investigation concluded. Releasing him prematurely would cause major disruptions to the current celestial bureaucracy.
Similarly, the Purple Star Heavenly Dao hadn’t yet fully refined the Qingyun Heavenly Dao’s True Immortal-grade law essence to ascend. Thus, the Qingyun Continent’s True Immortals and pseudo-immortals had no choice but to keep sleeping soundly in the Phantom Star Abyss—peaceful and undisturbed.
Suddenly!
Chen Yi sucked in a sharp breath.
“Hiss—! As I thought, Ling Xiao is up to something. His will imprint is off—he’s long gone, leaving only an empty shell to play house with the big dumb dragon!”
“When did he leave?”
“Why did he leave?”
“What is he planning?”
These three soul-searing questions filled Chen Yi with unease.
Ling Xiao’s methods were too insidious. No matter how closely Chen Yi had watched, he’d missed the moment the man slipped away like a cicada shedding its shell.
“Clearly, he was never truly dormant. He knew everything—so why didn’t he wake up and stop it?”
“Was he unable, or unwilling?”
“For a Heavenly Emperor to endure such humiliation, his ambitions must be monumental!”
“Well, it seems the worst-case scenario just got worse. I must prepare for the absolute worst now!”
“One fleeing Heavenly Emperor is bad enough—if two start chasing me, I’m truly screwed...”
Just as he pondered this...
The chat group suddenly stirred!
Every online member’s interface turned gray, displaying a “System Maintenance in Progress” notice.
“A blackout as the signal? Big dumb dragon, what are you scheming?!”
“Things were already chaotic enough—and now you’re launching the uprising early? Asking for a beating!”
Chen Yi’s sword-like brows arched sharply as he immediately logged into the accounts of “Miss Han of Gaodao” and “Tribulation Transcendence Tianzun.”
As expected, while the official numbered groups were locked in maintenance, the unnumbered special groups remained functional—though their once-blue interfaces had also grayed out.
[Lovely Big Family (Formerly Interdimensional Transmigrators Mutual Aid Group #6)]
[The Kid Who Never Gains Weight (Peak Rank 2): Starting early?! I’m ready!]
[A Touch of Qianling (Peak Rank 4): Brothers and sisters, conquer the Demon-Slaying Trials within half an hour!]
[Hacznie Mikku (Peak Rank 5): FIRE!!!]

[Group Owner shared a file: “Demon-Slaying Trials & Exorcism Dungeons—Personnel Assignments and Detailed Plan”]
[‘The Kid Who Never Gains Weight,’ ‘Heaven-Treading Ancestor,’ ‘Murong Dugu,’ ‘Miss Han of Gaodao,’... and 29 other members downloaded the file.]
The acting in this small group was flawless.
Of course, this file was merely a smokescreen deliberately released by the Little Golden Dragon.
Its real plan was sent via encrypted private messages, with each member receiving only their specific task—no two assignments were the same!
This way, even if one member failed, it wouldn’t compromise the others or the overall scheme!
The Little Golden Dragon couldn’t help but applaud its own brilliance, sensing victory already within reach!
This is a sure win, the advantage is on its side!
ither go to a cultivation world where a single sword strike can defeat ten thousand enemies. Or they travel back to historical dynasties to alter history and wield imperial power. At the very least, they'd go back a few decades to get rich using their future knowledge and build a harem. Who the hell would transmigrate here!
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
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!
