As Incubus Man was submerged by the fierce souls, the man high in the sky remained expressionless.
He didn't relax his vigilance, but silently watched as Incubus Man was completely torn apart by the fierce souls. Only after the 'Human Emperor Banner' shook and absorbed Incubus Man's soul into it did he finally let out a soft sigh of relief.
Reaching out to summon the 'Human Emperor Banner' into his hand, the man gently waved the small banner, drawing all those fierce souls back inside. Only then did a smug smile appear on his face.
The man's consciousness entered the 'Human Emperor Banner'.
"Take good care of our three newly arrived fellow Daoists."
After saying this, he satisfiedly tucked the 'Human Emperor Banner' away into the storage bag at his waist.
"It's over."
Exhaling a breath, the smile at the corners of his mouth became increasingly irrepressible.
As early as when the worlds merged, he had begun to actively investigate the relevant details.
Relying on his peak Foundation Establishment strength, he had already investigated almost all the anomalies in Japan.
The three transmigrators he had just bagged should be the most successful ones in this merged world. As for the rest?
He thought of the few transmigrators he had tracked down.
One was working hard writing light novels, but the content was rated as 'toilet paper', and his strength was so weak that he couldn't even defeat the weakest soul in the 'Human Emperor Banner'.
One had been following Kayaba Akihiko around every day since graduating from college, trying to freeload off Kayaba Akihiko's virtual reality technology. At a glance, he was just a miserable transmigrator without a golden finger.
Another one was doing quite well, having developed many anime, but was suppressed by large corporations, rendering his situation equally miserable.
Besides these three, he had also found quite a few suspected transmigrators, but these guys were faring even worse than the previous three, almost all living at the bottom of society.
The only thing special about them was that when the worlds merged, the altered memories only included their memories in this world, not their past life memories, otherwise they would have completely blended in with the masses.
But even so, to him, these transmigrators without golden fingers no longer posed any threat.
When the time comes, he would casually toss these guys into the 'Human Emperor Banner', and he would be the only one left in this world who knew the plot.
At that time, he could rely on this merged world with its vast resources to break through to the Golden Core stage, and then soar all the way up. It might even be possible to become an immortal directly in this world.
However, in the next moment, another anomaly occurred.
An incredibly terrifying pressure instantly paralyzed his body, rendering him completely unable to move. Even his divine sense and thoughts stagnated in that moment.
Before he could react to what had happened, he found himself suddenly appearing in an unfamiliar place.
"This is... there's still a master!?"
The man looked around in horror, and then heard an amiable voice.
"This is my mental space."
The man abruptly turned his head, only to see Chen Changsheng floating in mid-air, looking at him with a smile.
"You are... a materialized mental body!"
The man saw at a glance that the Chen Changsheng before him was not his true body, but a mental body that had almost materialized. But it was exactly this that made him feel even more terrified.
Then he looked at the seemingly boundless world around him, and recalling Chen Changsheng's earlier words that this was his sea of consciousness, a terrifying thought sprouted in his mind, rendering him completely speechless.
"Are you the mastermind behind the merging of the worlds!?"
"Huh?"
Chen Changsheng looked bewilderedly at the man in front of him who had imagined God-knows-what, and then shook his head helplessly.
"How is that possible? I can't do something like that."
Just as he said, merging several worlds was something that even he, who had now reached the Soul Formation stage and mastered several Dao Seeds, found difficult to achieve. This was also why he only dared to come to this world with a mental avatar.
As for how his mental avatar came to this world?
Since Toka had already become his woman, how could he really just let Toka come back like that? So he placed his mental avatar inside that necklace.
And after mastering the 'Universe' secret technique, even though he was currently just a mental avatar, he possessed combat power no less than the Nascent Soul stage, and it was a Nascent Soul level combat power specialized in mental energy.
Therefore, as early as when the first two transmigrators started fighting, this mental avatar of his had already been activated, and through the mental space, it had enveloped the entire Earth, including those alternate dimensions like the Underworld, Hell, the Divine Realm, and the Heavenly Realm.
Undoubtedly, these spaces were not actually located in other worlds, but were small spaces attached to Earth.
Thus, he could easily sense them.
But even so, Chen Changsheng did not relax his vigilance. He simply watched as these four transmigrators who jumped out underwent reversal after reversal, until the man before him had finished everything. Only when no new 'oriole' jumped out did he act as the final 'oriole'.
Looking at Chen Changsheng's calm and breezy posture, the man's mind was taut, and his hand slowly reached toward the storage bag at his waist.
However, just as he moved his hand, he found himself unable to move again.
"Don't move recklessly."
After Chen Changsheng said this, he casually reached out and pressed his palm onto the man's head.
Then the man found that the entire space began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
In a short while, he found himself in an extremely familiar place.
"This is!?"
The man looked at the surrounding environment and the familiar figures, and then saw himself, who was only in his early teens at the time, standing nervously in the crowd.
At the very front, a young man in a blood-red robe looked at them placidly.
"From today onwards, you are the outer sect disciples of my Demon Zenith Sect. You must remember, in the Demon Zenith Sect, everything speaks through cultivation and strength..."
Looking at that outer sect elder explaining the rules of the Demon Zenith Sect, the man's dusty memories were completely unsealed.
He didn't initially transmigrate to this world that had now become an anime multiverse. Instead, he transmigrated to a cultivation world. However, in that cultivation world, the righteous path had long declined, and the demonic path ran rampant. Ordinary people had absolutely no room to survive in that world. Every day, an unknown number of mortals were turned into expendable materials under the blood sacrifices of demonic cultivators.
Fortunately, he had some luck and was brought to the sect by the Demon Zenith Sect as a high-grade material, becoming an outer sect disciple.
But all of this was merely the beginning of a nightmare.
In the Demon Zenith Sect, not only did he have to guard against his fellow disciples every day, but he also had to constantly watch out for those elders and deacons. If he was careless for even a moment, he might offend them for some unknown reason and then be turned into material by them.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about escaping, but the price of escaping was that he transmigrated again.
That was a desperate world that was completely unreasonable, so desperate that after dying and being reborn, not only did he not feel afraid, but he was filled with joy as he prepared to start his cultivation anew in this world.
Having cultivated in this world for thirty years, his cultivation base had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, a height he never would have dared to imagine in the past. Moreover, he now wielded magical artifacts at the Dharma Treasure level: the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the White Bone Flying Sword, and the Blood Slaughter Demon Sword. In the future, by relying on this world's massive supply of sacrificial materials, with no other demonic cultivators around to fight him for them, he could push straight through to the Golden Core realm in one fell swoop.
As for the cultivation realms beyond that, he had not thought that far ahead. Regardless, this world had plenty of gods and demons to offer. If worse came to worst, he could simply switch his cultivation method. He did not care about sectarian divides or orthodoxies anyway; as long as he could grow stronger and achieve eternal life, that was all that mattered.

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.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

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.”

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?!
