Bang~~!
Thousands of rays of purple gold light were scattered and rose up, forming waves of golden billows churning in midair!
The golden light was dazzling, and a warm yet powerful energy was injected into the bodies of all the Shangguan Family people. Some of them even had their pupils turn into a purple gold color, like flawless translucent gems!
"The ancestral altar's energy has been restored!"
"Our secret arts can operate again, haha! We can cultivate the Purple Golden Eyes again this time!"
All of the Shangguan Family's people were immersed in ecstasy in an instant, except for Shangguan Bihan who, in the midst of her excited joy, saw the youth on the ancient altar slightly lift his sunglasses, a different splendor flashing across his beautiful eyes.
Nangong Qingyu, who had been watching Shangguan Bihan all this time, saw a look of girlish admiration flash across her eyes as she looked at Lin Chen, and a fleeting murderous intent towards Lin Chen passed through him.
"Talents emerge in every generation! This little brother is unremarkable on the surface, even I was fooled by him. "
The Yellow Robed Fatty looked deeply at Lin Chen, astonished and admiring.
"This boy's spiritual power is quite strong, vaguely giving off a feeling of touching the Spirit Realm, with extraordinary potential."
Xing Wanhe, as an alchemist, also praised appreciatively.
On the other side, an incredulous look emerged on Master Yan's face!
"How on earth did he do it? Without circulating any skills, without using any tools, just standing there on the platform, he opened the dragon gate that I had calculated with great difficulty? How can there be such an absurd thing in the world!"
From his perspective, even the top diviners of the Twenty Four Star Divination, let alone the best diviners in the entire Ling Province, could not have done this without even using the ‘Life Tools’ that diviners rely on, while still being able to elicit the rise and fall of a family's destiny!
"This boy holds great secrets! It seems I will have to report to the organization about this!"
While reassessing Lin Chen, Lin Chen also looked towards him and smiled mockingly.
"Next we can enjoy the belly dance performed by our Master Yan here."
Master Yan's expression froze, he almost forgot about the previous bet! Because from the beginning he did not believe that he would lose to this youngster.
"Grandmaster Shi Lezhi, please give me some leeway on this matter..."
The Second Elder came over, smiling apologetically.
"Get lost! Why should I give you any face? Do you think making bets with others is just farting nonsense without having to take your pants off?"
Lin Chen completely ignored the Second Elder and threatened him viciously, "If you dare say another useless word, I can immediately return your ancestral altar to its previous useless state!"
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder and Shangguan Yunfan instantly sobered up from their ecstasy. Seeing that Lin Chen's attitude did not have the slightest hint of joking!
"Could it be that this young man really has control over the lifeline of our ancestral altar? Oh well, our Shangguan Family should remain neutral in this matter."
Having witnessed Lin Chen's earlier feats that transcended common sense and restored their ancestral altar's power in an unfathomable divine manner, it was not entirely impossible that he could restore the ancestral altar to its original state!
"You, you brat..."
"What the fuck are you? Don't tell me you want to go back on your word? Turns out the so-called diviner of the Twenty Four Star Divination just farts when he makes a bet!"
Lin Chen deliberately raised his voice, drawing the attention of all the Shangguan Family members towards Master Yan.
Even with Master Yan's extensive connections, the Lord's Mansion was represented here today, and provoking the Shangguan Family which had just restored their ancestral altar was not wise.
If he forcibly reneged on the bet, he would leave himself vulnerable and might even be expelled from the organization!
Those questioning and mocking gazes pricked Master Yan painfully, making him grit his teeth, "It's just a belly dance, when I make a promise, I honor it even before you were born!"
Having said that, he flicked his sleeve, turned around and left. Lin Chen jumped off the ancestral altar, looking entertained as he followed along.
Seeing this, the crowd immediately followed, leaving only the elders guarding the ancestral altar.
Shangguan Bihan followed closely behind Lin Chen. The usually aloof and remote her, for the first time felt interested in a boy her age, a strange splendor flashing in her beautiful eyes as she stared at Lin Chen's back.

Myriad Spirits City · Shangguan Square
This square was funded by the Shangguan Household, bustling with noise and excitement, able to accommodate millions.
Amidst the coming and going crowds at Shangguan Square, a majestic contingent emerged, which at first glance were actually the sons and heirs of the prestigious Shangguan Family!
"Aren't those people from the Shangguan Family? Why have so many suddenly come out!"
"Huh? Look at that young man in front of them, why does he keep grabbing at the empty air on the ground?"
"Even the current family leader and Young Miss Shangguan Bihan have come out, along with Lord Huang Yu from the Lord's Manor and Grandmaster Xing Wanhe. Are they going to announce some important event?"
"Hey, I heard that the Shangguan Family's situation has not been very optimistic in recent decades! Could they be announcing the truth?"
The immense prestige of the Shangguan Family immediately cleared a path, and some factions began speculating on the Shangguan Family's intentions.
It was seen that the procession of the Shangguan Family arrived at the high platform on the west side of the square. The four figures standing on the high platform were Lin Chen, Master Yan, the Yellow Robed Fatty, and Shangguan Yunfan.
Master Yan took a deep breath. After all, he was a diviner with considerable status who had seen many grand occasions, this level of pressure could not faze him. He spoke loudly.
"This seat is Yan Jiwen, a diviner from the Twenty Four Star Divination organization. Today, having lost a bet with my peer, the prodigy Grandmaster Shi Lezhi, I hereby fulfill my gambling debt!"
When Yan Jiwen revealed his identity, it caused an uproar among the hundred thousand people gathered below the west high platform of the square!
Diviners were even rarer and more esteemed than alchemists. The Twenty Four Star Divination was the largest diviner organization in the Desolate Territory. To think that today it would be defeated by a peer diviner?
What was the content of the bet anyway?
While being watched curiously and suspiciously by the masses, Yan Jiwen actually took off his top robe, causing even more shock and doubt!
His big belly full of fat began to shake, his entire waist twisting like a snake.
The hundred thousand people present were stunned silly on the spot!
If this belly dance was performed by a voluptuous beauty, it would definitely be a feast for the eyes. But if it was performed by an obese middle-aged to elderly man...
This scene was simply too shocking!
Some people in the front row below reacted even more extremely!
"I'm fucking vomiting! Bleargh~~~"
"The bet turned out to be this? This is... ha!"
"Did you just laugh? If you laugh, that's offending the respected Master Diviner!"
"I didn't, I just recalled something happy. My daughter has been away for years and is finally coming home in a few days."
"Pfft!"
"Why are you laughing again?"
"I also recalled my daughter, she's also coming home soon."
"You two geezers have the same daughter...?"
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.

Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
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.

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."

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions.

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
