Tianxuan Continent, Great Yan Empire, Qingyang Town, Lin Family.
After Lin Dong finished reading Martial Universe, he felt an overwhelming surge of emotion.
But he quickly realized that his life in the book was full of unexpected events and countless near-death crises. Now, having seen all of the future from an observer's perspective, he might be able to reach higher realms much more easily than his counterpart in the book.
However, what about the Ancestor Realm?
Now that he knew the outcome, could he still successfully break through like his counterpart in the book?
The mere fourteen-year-old boy was suddenly overwhelmed with a tangled mess of thoughts.
...
Pirate World, Marine Headquarters.
After Akainu quickly finished reading One Piece with the help of the chat group, his heart sank to the bottom.
At this point, he was ninety percent convinced of the chat group's existence.
Because right now, Ace was about to be escorted from Impel Down to the Marine Headquarters.
Moreover, he had already received news that the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew had vanished from the New World, and he had indeed successfully instigated Squard's betrayal.
And after watching the One Piece anime up to the latest episode posted by Gu Xiaoxiao, featuring the new Four Emperors, Straw Hat Luffy, Akainu's brows were tightly furrowed.
He was not surprised that Whitebeard would be defeated.
He was also not surprised that he would become the Fleet Admiral.
However, after watching all the story events from Luffy's first-person perspective, he couldn't feel happy at all despite these pieces of good news.
...
Honkai Impact 3rd World, St. Freya Academy, in a girls' dormitory.
Kiana silently finished reading the game plot of Honkai Impact 3rd, stood up from the sofa, and walked toward her room.
"Kiana? What's wrong?"
"Idiot Kiana, what did you see in that chat group?"
Mei and Bronya, seeing Kiana like this, worriedly caught up with her, only to see Kiana force a somewhat strained smile.
"Sorry, Mei, Bronya, I'm a little tired and want to go to bed early."
After Kiana finished speaking, not daring to look at the two, she returned to her room, closed the door, and then heavily threw herself onto her bed.
Seeing this, the eyes of Mei and Bronya were filled with worry.
Inside the room, after lying face down on the bed for a long time, Kiana spoke softly.
"Herrscher of the Void, are you there?"
After her voice faded, the room fell into a long silence.
In Kiana's sea of consciousness, the Herrscher of the Void looked at the outside Kiana, her beautiful brows furrowed.
Since Kiana's birth, she had always been watching everything she did, and she certainly didn't remember Kiana ever knowing of her existence.
Was it because of that chat group she mentioned earlier?
Could it be another trick by Schicksal?
The Herrscher of the Void pondered silently.
When her power was depleted, she would still use her brain a bit.
However, she had no intention of paying attention to Kiana. This girl was nothing but a thief temporarily controlling her body while she had yet to recover. Once she was reborn and returned, she would thoroughly eliminate her.
However, failing to get a response from the Herrscher of the Void, Kiana was not ready to let it go.
"Herrscher of the Void, I know you can hear me. Can we talk?"
Facing the Herrscher of the Void who would kill Himeko in the future, Kiana, for some unknown reason, found it hard to muster any intense hatred in her heart.
Because after seeing the future, she already knew that she and the Herrscher of the Void were essentially two sides of the former Herrscher of the Void, Sirin.
They were both Sirin.
Following that was another wordless silence.
Seeing this, Kiana's heart grew even more irritated.
What should she do...
...
[Kashiwagi Eri: Kiana's world is really oppressive. The Honkai is too terrifying.]
[Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby: It is an anime gacha game, after all. In my past life's world, excellent anime gacha games might not have strong gameplay, but their stories absolutely had to grip the players' hearts, and tragedies are undoubtedly the most memorable.]
[Mortal Body Rivaling Gods: The males in that world are too pitiful. Aside from a rare few, they basically can only face the apocalypse in despair. Do you know how shattered my worldview was when I saw historical figures like Einstein, Tesla, and Edison were all females in that world?]
[Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby: What's the big deal? Tony, in your Marvel universe, aren't there many parallel universes where you are a female? Maybe you'll even meet her in the future, just like how Loki met his female counterpart, and they even fell in love.]
[Mortal Body Rivaling Gods: Oh! Stop talking! Just thinking about it gives me the chills.]
[Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby: As for all those scientists in the Honkai Impact 3rd world being female, it is a game primarily aimed at male players, after all. It's completely normal to gender-bend them to attract players. That's just how games are. Besides gameplay, isn't catering to the players exactly what they should be doing?]
[Kashiwagi Eri: True. If a game doesn't cater to its players, it's bound to flop sooner or later, right?]
[Kashiwagi Eri: Speaking of games, did you know? A truly epoch-making game has appeared in my world! It's a virtual reality game! I heard the open beta is about to start soon! I'm so looking forward to it!]
[Tyrant's Eye User: Eriri, are you talking about Sword Art Online? My sister and I have already managed to snag the game helmets!]
[Kashiwagi Eri: What?! Haven't the helmets not been released yet?]
[Tyrant's Eye User: Hehe, Brother Changsheng helped us get them secretly.]
[Innate Wife-Taking Physique: ???]
[Tyrant's Eye User: Not you, Brother Changsheng, but your necklace clone.]
[Innate Wife-Taking Physique: ???]
[Innate Wife-Taking Physique: What is that clone trying to do?]
[Tyrant's Eye User: Hmm, he seemed to mention something about using Sword Art Online to become a god or something?]
[Innate Wife-Taking Physique: ???]
[Innate Wife-Taking Physique: Rikka, I need to come over and take a look. Rikka, please accept the request.]
[Tyrant's Eye User: Okay, Brother Changsheng.]
[Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby: Oh ho? The clone has developed its own ideas? This is way too interesting, isn't it?]
[God of Angels: I don't find it interesting at all. All I see is that even a casual clone created by Mr. Chen is preparing to become a god.]
[Emperor Through the Ages: Indeed. The gap between Mister and us is growing larger and larger.]
[Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby: ...]
...
Chen Changsheng ended his cultivation, walked straight out of the cultivation room, picked up Anshera who was sitting at the door playing a handheld console, stuffed her into his heavenly abode, and then applied to travel to Rikka's world.
The next instant, his figure disappeared from the Cultivation World.
...
Anime Crossover World, Rikka's home.
Rikka looked at the suddenly appearing Chen Changsheng, her small face turning to him with excitement.
"Brother Changsheng, you're here!"
"Yeah. Rikka, where is Toka?"
"My sister is in her room."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng quickly walked toward the door Rikka pointed to. Pushing the door open, he saw Toka silently cultivating. And on the desk next to Toka, his spiritual clone was entirely engrossed in tinkering with a pure white, diamond-shaped crystal.
Chen Changsheng looked at the diamond-shaped crystal and discovered an unfamiliar power of a Law contained within it. Furthermore, the crystal bore a striking resemblance to the divine sparks from his memory.
At that moment, the spiritual body finally sensed Chen Changsheng's aura and turned around in surprise.
"Main body? I didn't expect you to get here so fast. I thought I could give you a surprise."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng's face darkened.
A surprise? He had almost thought that his clone had developed an independent consciousness because it was separated from him in a different world.
However, seeing that the clone didn't seem to harbor any other unusual emotions, he quickly walked up to it and directly absorbed the clone back into his own body.
Immediately after, his expression became quite spectacular.

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?!
