【“Second Sister, being a ghost cultivator isn’t easy either, is it? You must have suffered a lot.”】
【“It was certainly difficult getting used to being a ‘ghost,’ but there are some advantages too. For example, I can carry around a whole pile of bodies grown from the Soul Sea and use whichever one I want.”】
【Ji Wuqing’s eyes lit up at once.】
【“That sounds so fun! Doesn’t that mean you can change into whatever you want?”】
【“Mm. I can even turn into a man!”】
【“Wow! Can you turn into other races too?”】
【“Animals too.”】
【“That’s incredible! I want to become a ghost cultivator too!”】
【Ji Baiming hurriedly pulled Ji Wuqing back.】
【“Forget it! The first step to becoming a ghost cultivator is becoming a corpse!
Besides, didn’t you join the Tinder Society because you revere the human race? Once you die and become a ghost cultivator, you won’t be human anymore. You’ll be a member of the ghost race!”】
【“Oh, so that’s how it is. Then I’ll have to think it over carefully…”】
【After learning about each other’s circumstances, you began discussing the matter at hand.】
【Although you had managed to evade pursuit for now, this was only an underground cavern. You couldn’t stay here for long.】
【Ji Wuqing suddenly had an idea.】
【“Sister Chen Yue, your master is so famous, and you’re a high-ranking official of the Netherworld. Why don’t you talk to the Peaceful Bureau and ask them to stop making trouble for us?”】
【The corner of your mouth twitched.】
【“Why are you calling her ‘Sister’? You’re much older than my second sister…”】
【Ji Wuqing jabbed you in the head with her fist.】
【“Do you have a problem with that?”】
【Chen Yue watched you two bicker with a smile.】
【“Wuqing, I’m afraid I don’t have that much influence. Even if my master came personally, it probably wouldn’t work. If it were something else, I might be able to put in a few words, but the Saint Dragon Society and the Tinder Society are mortal enemies.”】
【Ji Wuqing sighed.】
【“Are we going to hide underground forever, then?”】
【Chen Yue told you that the Netherworld had paid a tremendous price to send her to the Milky Way star system.】
【She had not come alone. She had brought a massive team of ghost cultivators with her.】
【They had only one mission this time: repair the Nether Domains within the Milky Way star system that had been maliciously destroyed.】
【As mentioned before, although most people had no objection to the existence of Nether Domains, that was not true of everyone.】
【As a result, Nether Domains were often damaged in certain regions.】
【If it happened in an uninhabited area, it was no big deal. They could simply send people over slowly and repair it at their leisure.】
【But this time, the damaged areas were all located on second-class and first-class stars—places with enormous populations. The Netherworld was desperate to restore them.】
【That was why they had been willing to pay such a steep price to send Chen Yue and her subordinates here.】
【Even so, it had taken them many years to arrive.】
【If she failed to complete the mission, Chen Yue would have no face to answer to the Netherworld for what it had spent sending her here.】
【“Second Sister, go take care of your own business. Don’t worry about me. I’ve already made it through so many hardships; this little difficulty is nothing.”】
【Chen Yue reached into the empty air and pulled out an object.】
【It was a talisman with red characters on a yellow background. The red strokes were incredibly intricate, resembling both written characters and ghosts.】
【“This is a ghost talisman. It contains a strand of my master’s soul imprint. If someone threatens your life and you have no way to escape, try activating this talisman and showing it to them.”】
【“Could it contain a strike from an Immortal King?”】
【Chen Yue smiled and shook her head.】
【“There’s nothing inside. It merely proves your relationship with me.”】
【As a ghost cultivator, Chen Yue’s cultivation method was entirely different from that of living cultivators.】
【Ghost cultivators and ordinary cultivators occupied different resource niches within the universe.】
【The cultivation resources the two sides required did not overlap—except for those cultivators who needed souls.】
【That was why Chen Yue couldn’t give her little brother any real benefits even though she wanted to. All she had was this ghost talisman, which could identify the holder as someone connected to the Red River Nether King. At best, it could be used as a little face-saving token.】
【Ji Wuqing came over.】
【“Sister Yue, do you have any more of these talismans?”】
【Chen Yue gave a bitter smile.】
【“This talisman isn’t powerful. Its ability to ‘save your life’ comes from the relationship between Chen Yi and me, so…”】
【“I understand! When you’re away from home, everything comes down to personal connections! Even if those animals from the Saint Dragon Society are arrogant, they wouldn’t completely disregard the Netherworld’s face.
But Chen Yi and Sister Yue are close, and Chen Yi and I are close too! To tell you the truth, I’m his…”】
【Ji Wuqing paused, her eyes darting around.】
【Chen Yue watched her with an amused smile.】
【You let your eyelids droop, waiting to see what nonsense she would come up with.】
【“Fiancée!”】
【If this had been a comic, you, Ji Baiming, and Chen Yue would all have fallen backward in unison.】
【Chen Yue explained that face could only be used so many times before it stopped working. She could give Ji Wuqing another ghost talisman, but she couldn’t guarantee that it would be effective at a critical moment. It was better not to place their hopes in it.】
【Ji Baiming dragged the rambling Ji Wuqing aside, then stepped forward and said,】
【“The situation outside is extremely tense right now, so none of the three of us can go out. But Miss Chen should be able to move freely on Vermilion Purple Star.”】
【“Indeed. Patriarch Ji, if there is something you need me to do, please say so.”】
【“Please go to a certain place and deliver a message to the people there. Once that is done, the three of us will be safe.”】
【“Excellent.”】
【Ji Baiming used a sound-transmission technique to tell Chen Yue the location.】
【Chen Yue nodded.】
【“Rest assured, Patriarch Ji. I’ll set out at once.”】
【Before leaving, Chen Yue took your hand, her eyes filled with reluctance.】
【“Fourth Brother, Second Sister has an important mission. It may be a very long time before I can come see you again…”】
【“Second Sister, don’t worry about me. I’m not a child anymore. I don’t need to cling to my brothers and sisters all the time.”】
【“It’s just a shame that the living and the dead walk different paths. I’m far away in the Netherworld, and there’s nothing I can do to help you on your path of cultivation. I know the human race is in a very difficult position these days, and you’ll have to suffer.
But don’t worry, Fourth Brother. I’ve left a mark on you.
When the day comes that you die and enter a Nether Domain, I’ll be waiting for you in the Soul Sea. I’ll pull you out and have you become a ghost cultivator with me.”】
【She spoke from the bottom of her heart, but hearing it still sent a chill down your spine.】
【“Second Sister, I… I haven’t had my fill of being human yet. We can worry about becoming a ghost later…”】
“Can you draw traits after you become a ghost?”
In the real world, Chen Yi was considering the question.
In theory, it should be impossible.
After all, becoming a ghost cultivator required dying first.
Once a person died, the simulation would stop.
Just look at how every simulation ended with a line like, “You died,” or, “You sacrificed yourself.”
“We’ll know once this simulation ends.”
【Second Sister left.】
【Ji Baiming told the two of you to stay in the underground cavern. Someone would come to pick you up.】
【“Dad, who’s coming to pick us up?”】
【“You’ll know when they get here.”】
【“Why are you being so mysterious? What did you just say to Sister Yue? Why can’t you tell us too?”】

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
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.
