[Relying solely on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and the Universe Mirror would not be enough to hold out.]
[Especially since one could turn against you at any moment, and the other could go crazy at any time.]
[But you refined pills very quickly.]
[To be precise, it was the Nine Provinces Cauldron that refined pills quickly.]
[Did a Great Dao Immortal Artifact need to be as slow as an ordinary pill furnace when refining pills?]
[Then how could it be called a Great Dao Immortal Artifact?]
[Of course not!]
[You only needed to throw the raw materials inside, and Da Chun would immediately roll out the pills for you.]
["Brother Yi! The pill is ready!"]
["Good!"]
["What kind of pill is this?"]
["A sleeping pill!"]
["How is he going to eat it?"]
["If I say he can eat it, he can eat it!"]
[More than half of the Shen Family Ancestor's body had already crawled out of the banner.]
[As soon as he came out and saw the devastated Star Power Profound Realm, he suffered a mental breakdown on the spot.]
["My Star Power Profound Realm! What exactly did you do here?! You thief! Do you know how precious this place is?! I swear I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes—gulp!"]
[This guy roared in fury, his mouth wide open.]
[Taking advantage of his intense emotional fluctuations and lack of focus, you were quick on the draw and shoved the pill right into his mouth.]
[The Ten Thousand Soul Banner was dumbfounded.]
["Is this even right?! Am I losing my mind too??"]
[The Shen Family Ancestor was even more bewildered.]
["How is this possible... I am in a soul state. How can a soul swallow a pill?"]
[Under normal circumstances, of course it couldn't.]
[But you were a staunch materialist warrior!]
[There were no such things as ghosts!]
[There are no ghosts in this world, only people dressing up as ghosts to scare others!]
[How could a person not eat a pill? Huh? Answer me! Look into my eyes!]
["It actually worked..."]
[Actually, there was an element of gambling in what you just did.]
[You knew that "Materialist Warrior" allowed you to see and hit ghosts, but making a ghost eat a pill was indeed a first.]
[You didn't know if it would work either.]
[But in that situation just now, you could only treat a dead horse as a living one and hope for the best.]
[The Shen Family Ancestor felt dizzy and drowsy, on the verge of falling asleep.]
[He couldn't understand any of this.]
[Having devoted himself to studying eighteen different disciplines over more than thirty thousand years, he had never seen anything so bizarre!]
[Suddenly, he had an epiphany!]
["I understand now! All of this is fake! It's an inner demon! I must have suffered cultivation deviation and fallen into an inner demon illusion! Only in a world of illusions would such unreasonable things happen! Hahaha!!"]
[The Shen Family Ancestor looked as if he had seen through everything.]
[The sleeping pill took effect, and the Shen Family Ancestor fell into a deep slumber inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner with a peaceful smile on his face.]
[The temporary crisis had passed.]
[The Shen Family Ancestor was still trapped in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. Before falling asleep, he sealed himself off once again, making it impossible for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to refine him.]
["There are still two years left. Damn it, I'm going all out!"]
[You began to study the forging of Heaven-tier spiritual artifacts without sleep or rest.]
[When you were too sleepy to hold on, you refined Mind-Awakening Pills to forcefully restore your energy!]
[When you were so tired you couldn't even lift your hands, you refined Stimulant Pills to forcefully activate your adrenaline!]
[You really went all out this time!]
[Year Thirty-Nine, fifty-seven years old.]
[Over the past year or so, the Shen Family Ancestor had acted up a few more times.]
[Whenever he acted up, you would feed him the prepared pills.]
[If that didn't work, you would shoot two attributes at him to stun him, and then feed him the pills.]
[You were almost giving this old geezer a drug resistance.]
["Success!"]
[Heaven rewards the diligent!]
[You finally forged a Heaven-tier spiritual artifact!]
[Even though it was just for practice, you refined it according to the standards of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.]
[Although due to incomplete materials, the forged Heaven-tier spiritual artifact Ten Thousand Soul Banner was far inferior to the one refined by the Shen family.]
[But after being reinforced by "Enhancement!", it directly filled in the gaps and became a perfect Immortal Artifact Ten Thousand Soul Banner!]
[The artifact spirit of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner howled in excitement.]
["Awooo—I lack nothing now!!"]
[The Ten Thousand Soul Banner swept up its original vessel along with the demon souls, Feng Yucheng, and the Shen Family Ancestor inside, and entered its new body together!]
["Click! Click! Click!"]
[You heard the sounds of mechanisms clicking and expanding from inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.]
["What are you doing?"]
["No matter how powerful an artifact refiner is in this world, they cannot compare to me, the artifact spirit of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner itself! I understand the Ten Thousand Soul Banner better than anyone!"]
[The Ten Thousand Soul Banner was modifying this Immortal Artifact to make it closer to its original body.]
[Although it couldn't be exactly the same as its original body, according to the Ten Thousand Soul Banner itself, if its spirit body could fully recover, it could unleash at least ninety percent of its power!]
[That was enough.]
[After the modification was complete, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner wasted no time and immediately set out to refine the Shen Family Ancestor.]
[Previously, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner couldn't touch the Shen Family Ancestor, but things were different now!]
["Ten Thousand Soul Banner! How dare you!!"]
[The Shen Family Ancestor sensed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner's intentions and was shocked to find that the Ten Thousand Soul Banner seemed capable of refining his soul, which would wipe out his own consciousness!]
["Ancestor Shen! My last master before I shattered was known in the martial world as the Evil Banner King. Do you still remember him?"]
["I have heard of the Evil Banner King's infamous reputation even in the Star Domain. What about it?"]
["Just because he killed one of the Shen family descendants who was gaining experience on the surface, he drew the pursuit of your Shen family's army! The Shen family's influence was terrifyingly vast; you even allied the human and demon races to hunt him down together!"]
["Hmph, a person who commits evil deeds with a wicked artifact like you and kills like a maniac—does he not deserve to die?"]
["He deserved to die! I also deserved to be destroyed! I never said otherwise! What I want to say is... the Heavenly Dao has its cycles. Today, I am reborn from the ashes, and you are going to fall into my hands!"]
[The situation inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was a contest between spirit bodies and the exertion of the Immortal Artifact's divine might.]
[You currently had no divine sense, so you couldn't see what was happening inside.]
[But it must have been a tough battle.]
[This fierce battle lasted for a full month.]
[The Ten Thousand Soul Banner was not fighting alone.]
[You, Da Chun, and the Universe Mirror were all assisting him from outside the banner.]
[Finally, it was done!]
[The soul body of the Shen Family Ancestor now stood motionless in front of you.]
["Jump."]
[He jumped once.]
["Squat down."]
[He squatted down.]
["Take two steps."]
[He took two steps.]
[He completely obeyed your commands!]
[He had been refined into a soul slave!]
["It's a pity that this soul slave cannot unleash the complete combat power of the Shen Family Ancestor, because he is a soul body that suffered a backlash from possession. Although he has recovered a bit, he hasn't returned to his peak state. Then again, if he were in his peak state, I wouldn't have been able to refine him."]
[The Ten Thousand Soul Banner spoke with a cocky tone, quite smug and satisfied.]
["A Shen Family Ancestor who isn't at his peak state should be enough. What comes next is the real tough battle!"]
[Year Forty, fifty-eight years old.]
[The entrance to the Star Power Profound Realm opened, and the entire clan of the Star Domain's Shen family stood in the void of the Star Domain outside.]
[They stood in perfect order across three echelons—the Sun Lineage, the Moon Lineage, and the Star Lineage—forming a vast, densely packed multitude.]
[Those capable of flight hovered effortlessly in the sky, while those who could not had Levitation Talismans affixed to their bodies.]
[As your figure slowly emerged from the entrance, the entire starfield resonated with the thunderous cheers of the entire Shen clan.]
["The Shen clan congratulates the Ancestor on attaining a new vessel! May the Shen family prosper and endure for ten thousand generations!"]

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
