"This trait came right on time."
A golden trait naturally had to be equipped.
Especially in the simulation, given the current situation where Chen Yi and his group of twenty had to fight against the Dragonkin slave-driving army of the Three-Headed Realm, the difficulty was imaginable.
With the "Leader's Halo," they could at least balance out the disparity in strength between the enemy and themselves.
"This makeup and face-changing one is also needed. To fight many with few, we definitely have to outsmart them. Disguising and infiltrating is a classic trope."
[You replaced "Array Master" with "Asian Sorcery".]
[You replaced "Chinese Succubus" with "Leader's Halo".]
[Because you have already survived the "Tribulation of Ten Thousand Races", you acquired the racial talent of the Dragonkin.]
[According to the effect of this trait, you can now mimic a "Chen Yi version of a Dragonkin"—meaning you have your own face, but the physical characteristics of a Dragonkin.]
[Combined with "Asian Sorcery", you figure you can easily sneak into the enemy camp.]
[Guided by your two newly recruited underlings, you flew over a desolate, barren pulverized zone.]
[During this time, through the external vision of the cauldron, you saw many tragic scenes.]
[Some places must have been the main battlefields where the Three-Headed Race resisted the Dragonkin.]
[Corpses littered the ground, white bones gleamed, rivers of blood flowed, and shattered armor and broken blades piled up like mountains.]
[What made you shudder to think deeply about was that you only saw the corpses of the Three-Headed Race; there wasn't a single Dragonkin corpse.]
[This was a one-sided massacre.]
[For a war where the official invasion had only lasted a year, the gap in strength between the two sides was obvious.]
[Coupled with the fact that these Dragonkin were a bunch of scheming bastards, even when facing weak opponents, they would do ample preliminary work and then strike a fatal blow.]
[Aside from having three heads, the rest of the Three-Headed Race's bodies were no different from humans.]
[If the two heads on their shoulders were chopped off, they were basically human.]
[Amidst your teammates' puzzled gazes, you had stopped midway, left the Cauldron Realm, and went outside to touch the corpses of the Three-Headed Race.]
[It failed to trigger the "Tribulation of Ten Thousand Races".]
[It seemed this trait required you to touch a living target.]
[After arriving at the reservation zone, you prepared to infiltrate the Dragonkin ranks to investigate if there was a passage leading to the Human Realm.]
[If there was, you could just fly the cauldron right in and bring everyone home together.]
[Seeing that you were going to scout for intelligence alone, Wu Yue immediately spoke up.]
["No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll accompany you."]
[Seeing this, Wang Mingbai also volunteered.]
["I'll go too! Uh... I wonder if the Dragonkin are short on crystal stones?"]
[You gave Wang Mingbai a wry smile.]
["I'm afraid they aren't."]
[You didn't explain much further. Right in front of them, you transformed, growing black scales, a pair of sharp horns, and a long tail. Your entire body posture also became like that of the Dragonkin, slightly hunched.]
["Holy crap!!"]
[The crowd was stunned and quickly distanced themselves from you.]
[Only Wu Yue remained somewhat calm.]
["Is it an illusion spell or something similar?"]
[You pulled out a pile of cosmetics from your spatial ring and started working on your face.]
[You needed to paint yourself to look like Ka One.]
["It works better than an illusion spell. No matter how strong the Dragonkin's divine sense or identification abilities are, they won't be able to see through my disguise."]
[Wu Yue was relieved now.]
["No wonder you wanted to go alone. If we went, we'd probably just cause trouble for you."]
[Baili Su stepped closer and asked tentatively.]
["Is Big Brother Chen really not possessed by an alien race?"]
[The Myriad Souls Golden Banner knocked him on the head with its banner pole.]
["Possessed, my foot!
This kid Chen Yi is the sharpest of them all, who could possess him?
He just has a lot of weird tricks up his sleeve. You'll know once you spend more time with him.
Just stay safely in the cauldron and watch how we two brothers carry you to victory!"]
[The crowd actually didn't quite understand the Myriad Souls Banner.]
[An immortal artifact was still an artifact, so why was this guy always calling you brother?]
[The current Myriad Souls Banner hadn't mentioned earth veins in a long time.]
[It was unknown whether he had given up or felt it was no longer necessary.]
[After all, he was now an existence that surpassed immortal artifacts. Whether or not he had the empty title of Spiritual Artifact King seemed to no longer matter.]
[Though you said you were going alone, everyone was actually with you.]
[Because you had taken the Nine Provinces Cauldron into your body.]
["So, are we all inside Brother Chen's body right now? Hmm..."]
[Long Yang was seriously pondering this question.]
[Wu Yue glanced at him and said indifferently.]
["Strictly speaking, it's the sea of consciousness. But if you must say it's inside his body, that works too."]
["The sea of consciousness... I've heard of it occasionally. Does this thing function like a storage bag?"]
["The martial arts of our Human Realm don't involve any cultivation or development of the sea of consciousness. It just slowly expands as our cultivation realm increases, and holding a few spiritual artifacts is doable.
Because spiritual artifacts have acknowledged a master, they are like a part of our body, which is why they can enter the sea of consciousness. Ordinary items cannot go in."]
["I see, I've learned something new. Those who grow up in the Holy Lands truly have profound knowledge; we fall far short."]
[Many high walls were built in the reservation zone, and each wall was engraved with array formations in Dragonkin text.]
[Ka One and Ka Two told you that these high walls were used to prevent slaves from escaping and to divide different working areas.]
[You disguised yourself as Ka One and had Ka Two accompany you, successfully infiltrating the outer perimeter of the reservation zone.]
[Because Ka One and Ka Two were not responsible for matters regarding the world passage, they didn't know exactly which passages existed. Now, the two of you were heading there to see for yourselves.]
[Inside the reservation zone, you saw many "factories".]
[Of course, they were not mechanized factories like on Earth. The factories here were massive wooden or stone buildings.]
[Rumbling sounds echoed from within.]
[You swept your divine sense inside and saw large spiritual artifacts in the factories. Under the operation of the Three-Headed Race, they were refining Demonic Spirit Orbs one by one.]
[These Demonic Spirit Orbs would transform into different demonic spirits based on their five-element attributes, serving as the biological weapons of the Dragonkin when launching realm wars.]
["To think that something with such a complex level of integration can be refined by those without cultivation realms. The technology of your Dragonkin race is quite impressive."]
[What was in the factory were spiritual artifacts, not technological creations.]
[But spiritual artifacts were supposed to be controlled by cultivators to display their various profound mysteries.]
[These Three-Headed Race members who had been reduced to slaves were clearly not cultivators, yet they could ensure the normal operation of the entire assembly line through simple actions.]
[Ka Two replied.]
["On how to launch wars more efficiently and secure war resources, my realm has painstakingly researched for tens of thousands of years and integrated the knowledge of many other worlds. Naturally, it appears more advanced."]
["What a headache-inducing enemy."]
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?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
