Once upon a time, a precious opportunity lay before Han Qianxue, but she failed to cherish it.
Only after losing everything did she drown in regret.
Nothing in this world is more agonizing than this!
If given another chance, she would have chosen to cooperate obediently rather than arrogantly trying to negotiate terms!
Feeling the heavy weight around her neck, Han Qianxue took a deep breath and stepped onto the teleportation channel leading to the 11th Demon-Slaying Trial Ground, just as she had been ordered.
If possible, she would have loved to remain a proper member of the group—but she had no choice.
She couldn’t bear to watch the entire group be annihilated!
"Foolish fish, you can’t win against him!"
And just as she had predicted, reality unfolded before her.
The moment she set foot in the 11th Demon-Slaying Trial Ground, the weight around her neck began to lighten. Looking down, she saw that the fifty-two Chaos-Colored Beads had dwindled to a mere nine.
"Han Qianxue is here. If I’m not mistaken, that necklace around her neck... is where Chen Yi is hiding!"
"Sorry, Qianxue. For the sake of everyone’s safety, you’ll have to be sacrificed..."
The little golden dragon, who had been manipulating everything from the shadows, gazed coldly before sending an anomalous signal straight to the main body of the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk.
[Warning! Anomaly detected in the 11th Demon-Slaying Trial Ground. Third-party interference confirmed. Investigate immediately!]
In an instant, the two other dominant wills within the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk awakened.
Ling Xiao’s will transmitted an indifferent ripple of intent: "Investigate thoroughly."
Chen Yi’s avatar, however, feigned fury: "What third-party? Who dares touch my things? Investigate!"
With the two major shareholders in agreement, the system immediately sprang into action.
Yet at that moment, the little golden dragon, acting as the artifact’s spirit, exercised its veto power and muddied the waters: "Don’t misunderstand. I also believe a thorough investigation is necessary—but how should we proceed? And who should conduct it?"
Ling Xiao’s will replied calmly, "Creation, speak plainly. Why hesitate? Has the detection system malfunctioned?"
The little golden dragon insinuated, "The detection system is compromised. I suspect... there’s a traitor among us, one who has tampered with the rules!"
Chen Yi’s avatar bristled: "What are you implying? Are you accusing me of meddling with the system?"
The little golden dragon didn’t hold back: "Did I name you? If you’re so quick to defend yourself, isn’t that a sign of guilt?"
"Fine, fine! You two are in cahoots. If it’s not me, then who? Him?" Chen Yi’s avatar trembled with mock outrage.
Bro, are you really still acting? The little golden dragon dropped the pretense and laid its cards on the table: "Can you honestly say the anomaly in the 11th Demon-Slaying Trial Ground has nothing to do with you? You’ve taken control of Han Qianxue, haven’t you?"
"Proof? Where’s your proof? No proof means you’re talking nonsense!" Chen Yi’s avatar retorted boldly, though his attention remained fixed on Ling Xiao’s reaction.
Something’s off... Normally, Ling Xiao would’ve lunged at me the moment the little dragon stirred the pot. Why isn’t he moving?
Watching the two bicker, Ling Xiao felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.
How amusing. These two former conspirators are now at each other’s throats?
Creation, you’ve grown a bit—learning to borrow strength to fight strength. But alas... I can’t be bothered.
Whatever. Fight amongst yourselves. Wuji’s still chasing me anyway. Time to sleep.
The next second, Ling Xiao’s will suddenly "fell ill."
After a violent shudder, it reverted to a dormant imprint on the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk, leaving everything in eerie silence.
The little golden dragon: "......"
After a stunned pause, it shuddered.
This... this can’t be right.
Did Wuji just ambush you?
No!
Ling Xiao, if you don’t step in, how am I supposed to deal with Chen Yi?!
No time to hesitate—the arrow’s already on the bowstring!
If Ling Xiao’s useless, then I’ll strike first!
Unlike the little golden dragon’s frantic desperation, Chen Yi’s mood turned grave.
Though Ling Xiao’s abrupt exit resembled a forced disconnection—as if his main body had been raided—Chen Yi refused to believe it was genuine.
You might fool that idiot dragon, but not me.
Chen Yi always assumed the worst of his enemies. Whether they schemed or not, he prepared as if they did, ensuring he fought only battles he was certain to win.
Ling Xiao’s sudden withdrawal must be part of a deeper scheme.
But what’s his goal?
Before he could ponder further, the little golden dragon launched its final attack!
BZZZT!!!
The Primordial Chaos Creation Disk trembled violently as cracks spiderwebbed across its surface.
Simultaneously, the members of the group laboring in various Demon-Slaying Trial Grounds and Evil-Purging Dungeons played their part perfectly.
Operating at full capacity, the trial grounds and dungeons had loosened their coupling with the fiber-optic network. As the artifact’s spirit, the little golden dragon easily rerouted the transmission fibers into its own domain.
Then—
CRACK!
With a series of shattering sounds, the little golden dragon tore away a fifth of the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk and fled, scrambling the entire dimensional space to erase its tracks before vanishing into the unknown.
In this move, it seized three Demon-Slaying Trial Grounds, six Evil-Purging Dungeons, and over twenty chat groups—but didn’t dare touch the resource vault.
Ling Xiao remained indifferent, as though he truly were locked in a fierce battle with Wuji, unable to intervene.
Chen Yi didn’t stop the little dragon either. Though he could have restrained it, the current murky situation no longer suited a three-way stalemate. Letting the dragon break free and operate independently was more advantageous.
After all, the Chaos-Colored Beads have already been distributed evenly among the group members. That fool dragon is alone now. When it hits rock bottom, it’ll come crawling back to me.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
