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.

[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!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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?!
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)
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
