As the most stubborn Heavenly Pivot Dao submitted, Fang Zheng's deadlock completely collapsed!
At the same moment.
The notification chime of the chat group also rang out.
[Ding! Mission completed.]
[Mission reward: 500 million points and 30 million group experience have been deposited into your account. Please check.]
[Do you wish to return now?]
That’s it?
Chen Yi was rather surprised.
Given the usual nature of missions, shouldn’t all potential threats be eradicated?
For example, after taming the Heavenly Dao, shouldn’t those twenty-four Supreme Rulers—who might bear grudges—also be hunted down and eliminated?
Could it be… that those twenty-four Supreme Rulers simply didn’t care about this matter at all?
No, given their cowardly nature, they probably didn’t even dare to entertain thoughts of revenge!
Heh, to endure being cursed out by Fang Zheng without retaliation—truly worthy of being the pinnacle elites of this world!
But did they really think hiding would save them?
I haven’t earned enough points yet!
Chen Yi’s mind raced, and a plan gradually took shape.
"Heavenly Dao, let me make this clear first—I have no intention of interfering in your world’s internal affairs. But those twenty-four Supreme Rulers… you can’t protect them. Any objections?"
The Heavenly Pivot Dao remained silent for a moment before cautiously asking, "But… what if I lose my rank?"
The Heavenly Dao was the manifestation of the world’s will. The stronger the living beings within the world, the more stable its laws—and vice versa.
If all twenty-four Supreme Rulers were to perish, the absence of top-tier experts to stabilize the foundational laws would plunge the entire world into chaos!
Rivers and seas would overturn, mountains would collapse, and doomsday would descend!
To save the world, the Heavenly Dao would have no choice but to downgrade itself to restore stability.
But after billions of years of evolution to reach its current state, with everything flourishing, the Heavenly Pivot Dao was reluctant to regress.
"Why do you care so much about those parasites?"
Chen Yi said calmly, "You’ve nourished them with the lives of countless beings, and what did they do? Abandoned you when it mattered!"
After a long hesitation, the Heavenly Pivot Dao finally steeled itself: "Fine, cut them off then—but make it quick. How do you plan to do it?"
Chen Yi nodded in satisfaction. "That brings me to my second point. See that young human prodigy below? His name is Fang Zheng. He will act on my behalf to carry out the hunt. All you need to do is seal the world so those Supreme Rulers can’t escape!"
The Heavenly Pivot Dao asked in confusion, "With your power, you could easily annihilate them yourself. Why go through the extra trouble?"
Of course, it’s to trigger a rescue mission—did you think I’m just bored?
Chen Yi shook his head and replied indifferently, "Just do as you’re told. Don’t ask questions you don’t need to."
The Heavenly Pivot Dao hesitated before speaking meekly, "Then… could you lend me that Star-Suppressing Seal you gave Fang Zheng? I need a treasure powerful enough to stabilize the foundational laws, lest the world descends into ruin and countless lives are lost."
"Pathetic!" Chen Yi scoffed, and three Star-Suppressing Seals instantly materialized.
To put it bluntly, he had plenty of these. Back when he was facing the absurdly difficult Immortal Ascension Tribulation, he had refined all 365 stars in the Purple Star Continent’s vicinity into Star-Suppressing Seals just to form the Cosmic Star Array and withstand a few more strikes of the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder.
Alas, the tribulation’s cruelty exceeded all expectations. The first time, the array barely held against nine strikes before shattering.
But the second time, the tribulation evolved to counter formations—the Cosmic Star Array couldn’t even withstand a single strike before crumbling...
That damned tribution had it out for him!
Thus, the Cosmic Star Array became useless, and the 365 Star-Suppressing Seals were left gathering dust in Chen Yi’s storage.
Of course, while the seals were worthless to Chen Yi, they were supreme treasures for anyone below the Immortal Ascension stage!
Leaving them to rot was a waste—now was the perfect time to put them to use.
"Th-Three Star-Suppressing Seals? Such weight, such majesty… are they truly for me?" The Heavenly Pivot Dao was utterly awestruck.
"Take them!" Chen Yi waved dismissively, flicking his hand to send the three seals soaring into the heavens.
Buzz—!
The void trembled.
"Excellent! This is more than enough to stabilize the foundational laws. Go ahead and slaughter freely—I’ve long since grown sick of those parasites!"
The Heavenly Pivot Dao’s voice rang out with unprecedented excitement, as if it was already beginning to mold itself in Chen Yi’s image.
"Good. Now step aside. I still have matters to discuss with Fang Zheng." Chen Yi waved it off.
"Right away!" The Heavenly Pivot Dao obediently withdrew, a far cry from its earlier murderous demeanor.
Meanwhile, noticing the group leader’s gaze, Fang Zheng immediately straightened his back and declared with unwavering resolve, "Group Leader, command me as you will! I shall brave all dangers, even if it costs me my life a thousand times!"
Clearly, compared to the still somewhat reserved Heavenly Pivot Dao, Fang Zheng had already fully embraced Chen Yi’s influence.
What could he do? The group leader’s rewards were simply too generous.
A single life-risking mission had not only enhanced his physique in every aspect but also vastly expanded the Heavenly Thunder Essence within his Sea of Suffering, ensuring his cultivation could reach the Quasi-Emperor realm without issue!
And that was just the most obvious benefit—the hidden perks were even greater!
Take the simplest example: his protagonist son, Fang Fan, blessed by the Heavenly Dao, soared through cultivation with heaven-defying speed, showing the potential to become an Emperor, right?
But that was only because of the Heavenly Dao’s favor. What if the Heavenly Dao withdrew its blessing? Would his path remain so smooth?
Absolutely not. What the Heavenly Dao gave, it could also take away!
But Fang Zheng?
With the group leader backing him, even the Heavenly Dao had to treat him as a brother!
He couldn’t even imagine how blissful life in the Heavenly Pivot Star Domain would be from now on!
And all of this… stemmed from that day when the group leader invited him into the chat.
The group leader was like a warm light, pulling him from the abyss of despair.
One could say his life was a gift from the group leader—how could he not dedicate himself to repaying it?
Especially when the group leader had given him so much…
It was impossible to repay. The group leader’s kindness was truly boundless!
"Enough," Chen Yi said with a casual wave. "No need for empty words. You know what to do."
With that, he suddenly pointed his sword-finger at Fang Zheng’s brow, leaving a mark in his sea of consciousness—one that shielded him from the chat group’s detection while also protecting his soul from destruction.
This way, Fang Zheng could freely trigger rescue missions without fear of losing a valuable group member.
Having settled everything, Chen Yi recalled his one-star avatar without hesitation.
Fang Zheng remained standing in place, dazed, for a long while.
Only when Fang Fan nudged him excitedly did he snap out of it.
"Has the group leader left?"
"He’s been gone for about 150 breaths. Dad, why do you suddenly smell so good? It’s like your body’s turned into an Immortality Herb…"
"Get lost!" Fang Zheng shoved his son aside impatiently before cracking his neck and glaring toward the forbidden zones. "Still hiding? Time to collect your debts!"
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!!

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?
