Seeing the system's busy notification pop-up, Ye Wuchen immediately felt reassured.
They were all brothers on the same boat, risking everything to reel in a big catch amidst towering waves. But now, someone thought it was too dangerous and wanted to jump ship early for safety?
Heh. This one cannot be allowed to stay!
Letting him keep his life was already the last act of mercy from me, the group leader. If the helmsman had to step in, you’d end up dead with no evidence left behind!
Meanwhile, the overloaded detection system was regenerating an anomaly report.
[Exorcism Dungeon No. 7 – Dream Wedding Secret Realm Anomaly Summary: Not caused by system errors, not due to member consumption, not due to upper realm interference. Presence of a third-party mysterious force detected. Group member 'Super Invincible' suspected of being a mole for the third party. Account deletion penalty enforced. Due to frequent anomaly reports recently, it is suspected that third-party forces have infiltrated both the Exorcism Dungeon and the Demon-Slaying Trial Grounds. Maintenance and upgrades required......]
The lurking divine sense had been secretly monitoring the detection system’s movements and immediately intercepted this report.
"Oh? Things just got interesting." Chen Yi raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
Ye Wuchen had privately reported Meng Chao’s thoughts of betrayal to him, and Chen Yi had agreed to spare Meng Chao’s life rather than outright annihilate him.
But who would’ve thought that this single act of mercy would cause the detection system to misjudge the situation?
Instead of realizing there was a traitor in their midst, it assumed an outsider had broken in...
This was perfect!
To drive out the nonexistent "outsider," it would have to arm the "insiders"!
Maintenance and upgrades?
This was nothing but a grand feast prepared for its own hunger!
Originally, the lurking divine sense could only linger in the peripheral zones, repeatedly failing to breach the inner defenses. But now, the system had flung its gates wide open—giving Chen Yi the perfect opportunity to strike straight at the heart!
In simple terms, this round of maintenance and upgrades would transform the lurking divine sense from an unauthorized virus into a legitimate administrator!
From then on, he could do whatever he wanted. If the detection system raised objections, he’d just blame the so-called third-party forces—You failed to supervise properly, so look for problems within yourself, don’t suspect the "insiders"!
"Tsk tsk tsk, Old Ye, Old Ye... having you around is truly my blessing. Every time I cross paths with you, something good happens!"
Chen Yi couldn’t help but marvel.
If figures like Fang Zheng and Gu Yuan were rare and invaluable generals, then Ye Wuchen was an even rarer stroke of fortune!
After all, luck was the most elusive thing. It might not always bring good outcomes, but it would never turn into a disaster!
Seemed like he’d have to carefully consider Ye Wuchen’s opinions from now on.
Before long, as the detection system uploaded its report, the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk archived it for its master’s future review and promptly initiated maintenance and upgrades.
In an instant, all chat group members were forcibly logged out, and the system panel turned gray, inaccessible.
After confirming that the mighty immortal from the Upper Realm hadn’t awakened, Chen Yi’s lurking divine sense immediately began running wild!
A treasure without its master in control was nothing but a plaything to be molded at will!
Ordinary people might fear the unfathomable retribution of its master, but who was the Calamity-Subduing Venerable? Since when did he care about such things?!
Some so-called mighty immortal from the Upper Realm—he specialized in taking down mighty immortals!
Exploiting the detection system’s blind trust in its internal backend, Chen Yi ruthlessly stabbed it over and over!
[Anomaly detected: Exorcism Dungeon No. 3 Secret Realm suspected of third-party interference. Requesting detection system intervention!]
[Received. Scanning in progress......]
[Anomaly detected: Demon-Slaying Trial Grounds No. 1 suspected of third-party interference. Requesting detection system intervention!]
[Received. Scanning in progress......]
[Anomaly detected.....]
[System busy. Please try again later.....]
In no time at all, the lurking divine sense maxed out the detection system’s capacity, flooding it with so many anomaly reports that it couldn’t keep up!
Only when the detection system was on the verge of collapse did Chen Yi finally sheathe his knife and turn his attention to seizing core backend permissions.
The Primordial Chaos Creation Disk held the highest authority, imprinted with the will of the mysterious Upper Realm immortal—untouchable.
The detection system held the second-highest authority, but as a direct branch of the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk, it was also untouchable.
The information processing core backend, however, was the operational hub for all chat group commands. With third-level authority, it was an auxiliary branch derived from the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk, not directly linked to the main body—this could be tampered with!
As for the lowest-authority dungeon processing backend, there was no need to elaborate—Chen Yi had already played with it. Very smooth.
Thanks to his prior experience with the dungeon backend, Chen Yi navigated with ease. The maintenance upgrade’s firewalls couldn’t stop his intrusion, especially with the detection system paralyzed. Nothing stood in his way now!
Soon, his nimble divine sense infiltrated the information processing core backend, successfully merging with it and replacing a critical information transmission channel.
This position was pivotal—a linchpin connecting higher and lower functions!
Simply put, he now decided which commands could be issued to run the dungeons, and all dungeon feedback had to pass his review before being uploaded!
This was a position of immense power. In a dynasty, it would be akin to the Grand Secretariat!
Meanwhile, the detection system was more like the Imperial Guards—granted imperial authority to act first and report later, but its control over the dungeons paled in comparison to his. It couldn’t just investigate him at will!
"Heh heh, detection system, sorry not sorry—I’ll be overseeing the dungeons from now on!"
Chen Yi smirked and immediately began infiltrating from the top down, while also accessing previously restricted secrets.
[Peak Rankings No. 1: ; Combat Power: ; Realm: ; Identity: Group One Leader; Membership Duration: 12,000 years.]
[Peak Rankings No. 2: ......]
[Peak Rankings No. 11: Miss Han of Gao Island; Combat Power: 20.5 billion; Realm: Early Celestial Immortal; Identity: Group One Member; Membership Duration: 9,900 years.]
[Peak Rankings No. 12.....]
"Tsk, seriously? The top ten on the Peak Rankings are that classified? I’ve climbed to third-in-command, and I still can’t see them?"
"If No. 11 is an Early Celestial Immortal with 20.5 billion combat power... just how monstrous must the top ten be?"
"Speaking of which, is Celestial Immortal the realm after True Immortal? How exactly are the immortal realms divided? Let me check... I am third-in-command now—don’t tell me I can’t even see this?!"
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."
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.

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 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.”
