Xie Buruo’s extravagant generosity instantly sent Group 108 into a frenzy.
There was no helping it—the items he distributed were simply too high-tier. Whether it was the old-timers who were new to the group or the seasoned members with modest achievements, even a random grab could save them decades, if not millennia, of effort. How could anyone resist?
Especially since the largest faction of old-timers were stuck idling in a corner of the immortal realm, pretending to be NPCs with nothing to do but chat and hype up the atmosphere...
So, aside from four busy individuals who had muted notifications, the rest of the group went wild.
[Unemployed Light God (Adolf Anlan): Big Bro Xie, I want more! Don’t hold back just because I’m delicate!]
[Permanent Resident of the Cold Palace (Liu Ruyan): Fam, I did some research. Aside from the trash Ye Ancai managed to snag, none of the other items are available in the Multiverse Store. The few that are listed start at hundreds of billions of points, and even then, you can only buy a tiny amount. Based on the portions in the red packets, the smallest share is worth at least ten trillion points—equivalent to 50 million immortal spirit stones!]
[I Refuse to Eat Cilantro (Li Yuanyuan): Exactly! Even if we can’t use them now, that doesn’t mean we won’t in the future. And if we never can, we can always cash them out! So, any brothers interested in the Void-Entropy Annihilation Crystal I grabbed? Waiting online, urgent!]
[Cycle of Heavenly Dao (Yu Zian): Greed leads to indigestion, Brother Anlan. That Primordial Fate-Sand doesn’t seem useful to you. How about selling it to me? I’ll offer 100,000 immortal spirit stones plus a guaranteed ascension to quasi-immortal package—no side effects. I’ll even perform the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns secret art for you!]
[Unemployed Light God (Adolf Anlan): Oh? Interesting. What does the old sage have to say about this? @Primordial Celestial Brush]
[Primordial Celestial Brush (Yao Suansheng): Little Yu, this is beyond your grasp. Leave it to me. Anlan, I’ll add another million immortal spirit stones to his offer!]
[Runner-Up in Cultivation (Chen Bo): Oh? The bidding starts now? Then let me ask—any old-timers want to buy back my Emberflame Ashen Gold?]
[Divine Tourist (Ji Fenxing): You said “buy back,” right? I recommend... [Details expanded]]
[Ye Ancai of Yi Nation (Ye Ancai): This isn’t fair! Why did I only get a straight stick? Brother Xie, why’d you include such a plain item? We’re sworn brothers—does this make sense?!]
[Fishpond Owner Casting Nets (Xie Buruo): Come here, Brother Ancai. Say that to my face one more time. See if I give you anything!]
[Ye Ancai of Yi Nation (Ye Ancai): Fine, fine… tough times for everyone.]
[Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me (Group Owner): @everyone, let me keep it brief. New member Xie Buruo is the envoy from the Divine Realm. New member Ye Ancai is the special envoy of the Purple Tenuity Immortal Realm to the Divine Realm. Trade matters with the Divine Realm will be handled by the God of Wealth.]
[Group Owner has invited ‘Reclusive Cultivator’ to join the group.]
[Reclusive Cultivator (Ye Wuchen, Chief Deity of the Treasury): Greetings, everyone. I am the God of Wealth. Henceforth, I will oversee Divine Realm trade affairs. Your cooperation is appreciated.]
Almost instantly—
The four busy individuals, who had muted notifications but set special alerts, appeared.
[I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed (Fang Zheng, Chief Deity of the Celestial Pivot Court): Boss, your hard work is noted. The Celestial Pivot Court will fully support the Treasury’s efforts. (handshake.jpg)]
[Merely a Breeze (Gu Yuan, Chief Deity of the Celestial Law Court): Boss, your hard work is noted. The Celestial Law Court will fully support the Treasury’s efforts. (handshake.jpg)]
[Fallen Genius (Xiao Chunan, Star Inspector of the Oversight Bureau): Boss, your hard work is noted. The Oversight Bureau will fully support the Treasury’s efforts. (handshake.jpg)]
[Two-Sleeved Sword Immortal (Zhou Zheng, Director of the Ascension Bureau): Boss, your hard work is noted. The Ascension Bureau will fully support the Treasury’s efforts. (handshake.jpg)]
[Murong Dugu (Murong Dugu): The atmosphere just turned solemn and dignified. It reminds me of my past life’s meeting days.]
[Heaven-Treading Ancestor (Xu Jinghong, Acting Marshal of the Central Altar): Boss, your hard work is noted. The Four Symbols Heavenly Army will support the Treasury’s efforts. (handshake.urgency)]
[The Kid Who Can’t Gain Weight (Shen Lingxi): Wait, Old Xu, since when did you turn into this weird shape?]
[Primordial Celestial Brush (Yao Suansheng): Weird? I don’t think so. Given the chance, I’d also like to fulfill my ambitions. We scholars nurture righteous energy in our hearts—how can we merely cultivate ourselves? We must serve the world!]
[Cycle of Heavenly Dao (Yu Zian): Not that carefree cultivation is bad, but the Celestial Court offers broader horizons for someone like me!]
[Divine Tourist (Ji Fenxheng): Does this make sense? Without the Four Sentences of Hengqu, I can’t endorse this!]
[Down-and-Out Lord of Falling River (Su Le): I’m not so ambitious. I’ll just keep being a city lord. Speaking of which, what rank is a city lord?]
[Little Earth God Lin Yuyu (Lin Yuyu): The highest is second-rank in the mortal realm. Given your slightly elevated cultivation, you could split a wisp of your soul to serve as a city god. The future is bright!]
[Top Critic (Jiang Yue): May I ask—are there any historian positions? I want to critique the world!]
[Runner-Up in Cultivation (Chen Bo): The pressure’s skyrocketing, brothers. Competing with local factions for ascension slots was already tough, but now the old-timers are jumping in too… Fine, let’s grind—grind until heaven and earth flip!]
[Unemployed Light God (Adolf Anlan): No panic. They’re still locked out for now. We have time to achieve the goal of “first ascenders pulling up later ascenders”!]
[Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me (Group Owner): Original Group One, ready? Time to clean house!]
[Unemployed Light God (Adolf Anlan): …We’re screwed! The boss is about to make his move. Little Bo, no more rewarding yourself at the good places—we gotta grind like our lives depend on it!]
[Runner-Up in Cultivation (Chen Bo): Don’t you dare slander me! When did I ever go to those places?!]
[I Refuse to Eat Cilantro (Li Yuanyuan): I once visited the local Harmonious Joy Sect to exchange insights. It was enlightening—after all, I’m from that sect myself. But what about you? Are you also a Harmonious Joy disciple?]
[So It’s Uncle Emperor (Liu Xuande): Oh? You mentioned the Harmonious Joy Sect, didn’t you? Speaking of harmonious joy, I have some experience myself. Care to exchange notes later?]
[...]
“Hiss… this group… is quite interesting.”
In the depths of the Abyssal Void, Xie Buruo’s gaze turned profound as he meticulously analyzed the chatter in Group 108, piecing together fragments of information to uncover the true nature of that man.
Unfortunately, the group’s messages were somewhat useful—but not enough. That man remained an enigma, unfathomably deep, with no further clues to be found.
"Enough, stop obsessing over the chat group!" Chen Yi suddenly spoke, his gaze calm yet piercing as he stared straight at him. "In thirty hours, I will return your treasure. When the time comes, have the one behind you come see me."
Xie Buruo's pupils contracted sharply. He quickly lowered his head and forced an awkward chuckle. "There's no one behind me. You must be referring to the Key of Heavenly Dao, right? That’s not something I can summon at will."
Hearing this, Chen Yi's mind stirred. He gave Xie Buruo an imperceptible glance but said nothing further. With a flash of light, his Five-Star Chaos Avatar condensed back into the eighty-one colored beads of the necklace, which then draped itself around Ye Wuchen's neck once more.
nto another world, I bought a slave for the first time, never expecting the silver wolf girl to be so cute... Lin Feng: I know it's cold, but you don't have to sneak into my bed! Yuna: Just sharing body warmth, if you dare do anything naughty, I'll definitely...
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
