Internet-addicted Teenager Lao Yi

Does the Heavenly Dao of Ziwei think Chen Yi is pushing himself too hard and getting exhausted?

In reality, Chen Yi isn’t just not tired—he’s actually having a blast!

After all, to some extent, the overly youthful Chen Yi is essentially a gaming addict, and controlling his avatars to pull off all sorts of flashy moves is downright exhilarating!

But alas, because his stats are too overpowered, everyone in the lower realm seems like a weakling to him. Crushing noobs brings no sense of achievement, and steamrolling everything feels boring—there’s no thrill of skillful gameplay left.

The only thing that can make him temporarily retreat is the Tribulation of Ascension, but it’s far too ruthless. If he toys with it for even a moment, he has to flee, or else he’ll get beaten black and blue, leaving no room for fancy maneuvers. So, he’s forced to hole up in the Illusory Star Abode, endlessly refining his foundation, occasionally teasing the Ziwei Heavenly Dao for what he calls "rest"...

But how can one waste their time like this in life?

If all he does is bury himself in cultivation and accumulate power, what’s the difference between that and being imprisoned?

So, Prisoner Yi (a self-mocking nickname) keeps going back to mess with the Tribulation of Ascension. In this lower realm where everyone is just a weakling, only the heavenly tribulation descending from the upper realm can get his blood pumping!

But even playing with the Tribulation of Ascension gets old—not just for him, but for the tribulation itself. From strangers to mutual annoyance, it took eight hundred years. Without some fresh excitement, it’s hard to keep the passion alive...

Fortunately, right after his eighty-first round with the tribulation, when he was so fed up he even cursed it out, Chen Yi finally stumbled upon a new game!

That’s right—

A chat group appeared!

Without any warning, it just popped into Chen Yi’s mind.

This mysterious power was beyond his comprehension at the time!

Fear stems from the unknown, but Chen Yi doesn’t feel fear—only excitement!

Why?

Because the unknown means something new!

And novelty is a rare commodity—of course he’s going to savor it!

And so, Chen Yi, now armed with a new toy, played to his heart’s content!

He even managed to force out the true master behind the chat group—Ling Xiao!

Honestly, this was the second being in eight hundred years to truly excite Chen Yi!

As for the first? Well… that would be the wild wolf he encountered right after transmigrating, when he was still a helpless infant. He nearly got solo-killed at level one—now that was a thrill!

Of course, back then, the old man showed up, so the wolf was no threat. But if he wants to mess with Ling Xiao now, there’s no one left to shield him. Ahead lies the half-dead Immortal Emperor Wuji, and behind him—nothing. No reinforcements!

But he did it anyway!

It’s all just fun and games—it’s not like he’s risking his true self. Just a few avatars; if they break, he’ll make new ones!

And thanks to Ling Xiao’s appearance, Chen Yi even rediscovered his passion for the Tribulation of Ascension, tossing all his old avatars at it to vent his frustration...

But alas, Ling Xiao’s arrival also drew the attention of Wuji, the reigning Immortal Emperor!

That idiot Ling Xiao has no sportsmanship—before the match was even decided, he called in backup, and of all people, his sworn enemy!

What, the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Then why aren’t Prisoner Yi and Wuji friends?

Not only have they repeatedly tried to gut each other, but Wuji also has no shame—he straight-up locked away the Tribulation of Ascension, forcing Chen Yi to gaze longingly at the celestial gate, forever barred from his favorite plaything...

Fine!

Games are no fun without a challenge!

The more he’s suppressed, the hotter Prisoner Yi’s momentum burns!

Because he refuses to walk the orthodox path, he lacks any special mechanics—just pure, unadulterated stats. And that’s exactly why he loves hunting down these top-tier, mechanically skilled freaks!

Especially ultimate bosses like Ling Xiao and Wuji, who can’t personally intervene due to their stalemate!

Ling Xiao is in a tight spot—his will manifests, but he lacks real power. No matter how clever his moves, he’s no match for Prisoner Yi, who can fuse avatars and keep escalating!

Wuji, on the other hand, is too fastidious, relying on puppets with built-in lag. No matter how slick his techniques, he’s lost every round against Prisoner Yi, whose will transcends time with zero delay!

Let’s be real—Prisoner Yi’s margin for error is ridiculously high. He can play or quit whenever he feels like it!

But he’s still too young, unseasoned by the trials of time, and remains that restless gaming addict who can’t stand boredom. So if something’s fun, he’ll play it—relentlessly!

He doesn’t fear opponents who can’t handle losing—he fears opponents who refuse to play at all!

"Ling Xiao, just you wait—Wuji and I are coming for you soon!"

Deep within the Illusory Star Abode, Chen Yi’s gaze was profound. He had already summoned three five-star avatars, ready to descend upon the Celestial Pivot Star Domain!

Meanwhile...

In the Immortal Realm.

Wuji’s Divine Palace.

After much hesitation, Wuji finally steeled himself, severing a trace of his origin dao mark and refining it into an invincible incarnation to send to the lower realm for a special mission!

Truthfully, this decision wasn’t easy for Wuji.

The lower realm is Ling Xiao’s territory. A mere ten thousand years isn’t enough to erase his influence entirely. Even if Ling Xiao’s true self is trapped in the depths of the River of Time, his residual dao resonance lingers across the myriad realms, endlessly eroding Wuji’s own dao marks!

Just like when Ling Xiao once sacrificed two of his own origin dao marks to forcibly "borrow" one of Wuji’s—once it enters the lower realm, that dao mark is as good as corrupted by Ling Xiao’s resonance. Even if recovered, it’s no longer his!

So, the moment this severed dao mark descends, its loss is guaranteed.

If he can seize Ling Xiao’s Epochal Treasure Vault, it’s a massive win. Otherwise, it’s a crushing defeat!

And this invincible incarnation won’t just face Ling Xiao—there’s also the lurking anomaly of the lower realm, Chen Yi, who can’t be directly observed!

It’d be fine if Chen Yi stayed out of his conflict with Ling Xiao, but that’s practically impossible!

Because this whole mess started when Ling Xiao played a cunning trick, declaring the ownership of a supreme treasure!

When Wuji turned his gaze to investigate, he quickly realized that while the Celestial Pivot Star Domain seemed shrouded in the treasure’s mist, it was actually completely unguarded!

What does that mean?

It means that little freak Chen Yi is absolutely allowing it—no, he deliberately left this loophole for Ling Xiao to exploit! There’s no way someone like him would overlook something so obvious!

Admittedly, Wuji’s reasoning isn’t baseless. After all, the Ziwei Continent has already been erased from existence by Chen Yi, hidden away in the Sea of Realms where none can find it!

The Celestial Pivot Star Domain, however, is the homeland of Fang Fan, the wielder of the Chaos Supreme Treasure, and holds Fang Fan’s most primal imprint. If Chen Yi truly valued him, he would’ve shielded the star domain too, erasing its existence to block all prying eyes!

But he didn’t!

Does that mean he doesn’t care about Fang Fan?

The wielder of a Chaos Supreme Treasure isn’t worth his attention?

Don’t be ridiculous!

That little freak already owns one Chaos Supreme Treasure, yet he dared snatch a fragment of the Creation Disk right from Wuji’s grasp!

Someone that greedy would never overlook Fang Fan!

As for the idea of killing Fang Fan outright to seize that Chaos Supreme Treasure... such a possibility isn’t entirely out of the question, but the odds are vanishingly small—practically impossible!

After all, an enraged Chaos Supreme Treasure would be nearly impossible to suppress. If Chen Yi dared to attempt it, the treasure would undoubtedly fight him to the death, even willingly throwing itself into another’s hands just to exact vengeance on Chen Yi!

Thus, after eliminating all impossibilities, only one answer remains:

Chen Yi intends to exploit the loophole in the Celestial Pivot Star Domain to achieve something!

"Heh, you’re fishing for Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao is also fishing for me. This is a trap within a trap—let’s see whose hook is sharper!"

"Even if we fail to locate Ling Xiao this time, we must at least force Chen Yi to unveil the secrets of the Chaos Supreme Treasure!"

"I’ll allow you to grow and thrive, but I will never permit you to break free from the boundaries I’ve set!"

"Damnable variable of calamity... Once you fully manifest to face your tribulation, I will suppress and slaughter you without fail!"

A sinister light flickered in Wuji’s eyes.

Compared to Ling Xiao—a setting sun with no hope of resurgence—this variable of calamity was far more worthy of his wariness.

Thus, when his Primordial Dao Mark avatar descended to the lower realm, its primary mission was to locate Ling Xiao’s Epoch Treasury. But its secondary objective was to evade entanglement with Chen Yi. If escape proved impossible, the secondary task would become the primary one: deal with Chen Yi first, then pursue Ling Xiao!

Swiftly—

After taking all necessary precautions to eliminate potential risks, the Observing Heaven Mirror before Wuji flashed, instantly teleporting his Primordial Dao Mark avatar, an incarnation of supreme power, into the Celestial Pivot Star Domain.
