It must be said that Chen Yi had invested the most effort in Liu Ruyan. Even when he stirred up chaos in the Western Sea Realm where An Lan resided, he hadn’t worked this hard.
First, he summoned the Golden Dragon of National Fortune to invite the Great Zhou Dynasty to its demise. Then, he reasoned with the Heavenly Dao of this realm. On top of that, he had to track down and capture every fleeing Great Zhou official to restore order and reassure the people...
While all this effort essentially turned Liu Ruyan into a cultivation accelerator—ready for deployment in no time—it still felt like something was missing.
After all that exertion, the final mission reward was only sixty million points and three million group experience, barely enough to fill the cracks between his teeth. It still felt like a bit of a letdown.
Fortunately, the chat group was quite considerate and didn’t let him toil in vain.
[Ding! Mission reward recalculated.]
[Updated reward for overachieving: One billion points, forty million group experience.]
[Rewards have been deposited into your chat group account. Please check.]
[Friendly reminder: The Heavenly Dao of this realm has detected you but has not expelled you. You may return at any time.]
Pure bliss—Chen Yi was genuinely thrilled.
With this haul, his account balance would skyrocket to 1.55 billion points. Converted entirely into Immortal Yuan Stones, that would be 7,500 stones!
At a rate of one hundred stones per one-star clone to nurture an immortal physique, he could now elevate all his clones to the same level!
Without hesitation—whereas before, the chat group had to nag him to return while he dragged his feet—now he was the one urging the chat group to hurry up and open the teleportation channel to bring his three clones back. He was in a rush!
Liu Ruyan, who had been mechanically signing documents like an emotionless machine, suddenly felt the Phoenix Crown of National Fortune grow heavier. A strange emptiness settled in her heart.
After a brief pause, she vaguely guessed what had happened. She immediately stood up and scanned the surroundings. Confirming that the damned group leader had indeed vanished, she planted her hands on her hips and burst into laughter:
"Hahaha! My ministers, your Heavenly Venerable is gone! Now, this is my empire!"
"Come, say it again—who do you obey? Me or the Heavenly Venerable?"
The civil and military officials exchanged glances, then answered in perfect unison:
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Venerable has decreed that we need not hesitate to offer candid counsel. Should you wish to dismiss us, you must petition the heavens for approval!"
Liu Ruyan’s smile froze.
This was no fun.
Being an empress was utterly joyless.
......
Inside the Illusory Star Cave.
Only after his mission clones returned did Chen Yi claim his rewards.
[Ding! One billion points have been deposited. Current balance: 1.55315 billion points.]
[Ding! Forty million group experience has been added to the Level 108 group system.]
The next moment, the group system notifications went wild in the muted chat.
[Ding! The group leader has claimed the mission rewards. Group experience +40,000,000.]
[Group level upgraded to 36. 7,000,000 more experience needed for Level 37. Keep it up!]
[Group welfare check-in rewards upgraded. Members can now claim 3,600 points daily.]
[Group red packet limit increased to 360,000 points per day.]
[New feature unlocked—'Super Comprehension.' Members can spend points to activate Super Comprehension, entering a hyper-frequency state where no problem is unsolvable. Cost: 10,000 points per second.]
"Oh? Not a bad feature, though a bit pricey. The others probably can’t afford it..."
Chen Yi frowned, pondered for a moment, then lifted the mute on the entire group.
[TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation is still chasing me: The new feature’s decent. Here’s some points for you to try it out.]
[Group leader sent a 360,000-point luck-based red packet.]
After sending the red packet, Chen Yi enabled "Do Not Disturb," unwilling to endure the flood of sycophantic praise from the members. Instead, he opened the Multiverse Store interface, ready for a proper shopping spree.
[Spend 1.2 billion points to exchange for 6,000 Immortal Yuan Stones?]
[Friendly reminder: This transaction may not be the most cost-effective. We recommend exchanging for a single drop of Pangu’s Essence Blood at 1 billion points for better value.]
Chen Yi: "..."
Well, well. He usually ignored those outrageously priced display items, but who knew he’d actually saved up enough to afford one?
But then again... Pangu’s Essence Blood for just a billion points per drop?
Is this stuff legit?
Are you just casually milking Pangu the Great God? Does he even have that much essence blood for you to extract?
Curious, Chen Yi tapped on the product details.
[Pangu’s Essence Blood: Exchange for 999,999,999 points.]
[Description: The essence blood of a Chaos God who once forged a major world. Contains vast primordial chaos energy and fragments of the Great Dao Laws. Effects: Nurtures the body, enhances vitality, aids in comprehending the Dao, and more.]
Hiss—
This is the real deal!
Tempting... very tempting...
Nope. Close tab!
Chen Yi shut the details page without further hesitation.
As incredible as it was, it didn’t suit him.
His true self didn’t dare use it, and his clones couldn’t handle it.
The last thing he needed was a clone evolving into a mini-Pangu, potentially overtaking him and declaring itself the true original.
He reopened the Immortal Yuan Stones page, ignored the system’s "friendly reminder," and clicked "Confirm Exchange."
[Payment successful. Items have been delivered to your personal storage. Please check.]
"Extract all!"
Hummmmm—
Space trembled as a crystalline mountain of Immortal Yuan Stones materialized out of thin air. Thick immortal energy instantly saturated the entire Illusory Star Cave.
The next second, the Purple Star Heavenly Dao came sniffing around like a dog.
"Brother Yi, such rich immortal energy! Is this for me? I could totally evolve further—"
"Scram. I need this for something else."
"Got it!"
The Purple Star Heavenly Dao promptly withdrew its will and thoughtfully sealed off the Illusory Star Cave—just in case Brother Yi’s activities attracted too much attention. An Immortal Ascension Tribulation would be... inconvenient.
After all, they’d been partners for years. If Brother Yi succeeded, it could ride his coattails to greatness. And if he failed... No, no—Brother Yi would succeed!
Sigh...
Inside the cave, Chen Yi took a deep breath to steady his restless emotions.
With a wave of his hand, he set aside 480 Immortal Yuan Stones as backup. The remaining 5,520 stones were divided into 46 portions of 120 stones each, which he infused into each of his 46 ordinary one-star clones—including the one hosting the chat group system!
Refining Immortal Yuan, transforming into an immortal physique—it all began now!
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?
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
