【You need Chen Six to stay behind, inform the Li Imperial Clan, make sure they pay close attention to Li Lingyue, and send her to Hua Wuyan to train once she comes of age.】
【Notify the Vajra Temple to secretly watch over Zhenpin.】
【Find an excuse to stop the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey from setting foot on the Ascension Road, and delay him until you return from the projection in the Realmscape.】
【Keep an eye on Big Brother. Make sure he works hard, endures hardship, and grows up smoothly. Under no circumstances let him stray onto the misguided path of a peaceful, carefree life.】
【And so on—minor tasks like these.】
【Chen Six will need to remain in the Mortal Realm to carry them out or supervise them from the sidelines.】
【He will also be responsible for informing everyone who later sets foot on the Ascension Road that they must choose the dead end 999 times.】
【Although Fortune Star is only a third-tier star and has no immortal energy,】
【you are about to take the first step and turn Fortune Star into a safe starting point for those ascending from the Mortal Realm.】
【Starting from Fortune Star is far better than randomly dropping onto some other planet, being captured and forced to mine, or being suppressed and wiped out.】
【Chen Six looks exactly like you. Aside from being unable to use traits, there is no difference between you.】
【Leaving him behind in the Mortal Realm will make it seem to your family, old acquaintances, and friends as though you never left.】
【“Oh, right. There’s also Sotuofeiren and the Xuanmai Five Brothers. Starting next year, let Black Wind take the Ascension Road first, then arrange for the six of them to ascend one by one.”】
【Chen Six gave you an “OK” sign.】
【“You want them to walk the dead ends 999 times too?”】
【“Of course. Otherwise, with them scattered across the world, they’d never meet in their lifetimes. What else would I be sending them up there for?”】
【If the six Winged-Race Martial Gods—Sotuofeiren and the others—found out they could take the Ascension Road to the Realmscape, who knew how ecstatic they would be?】
【The Xuanlan Five Heroes in particular had gone to great lengths to find the Ascension Road to the Realmscape.】
【When the time came, seeing “you” still in the Mortal Realm and being sent up the Ascension Road, they would probably be overjoyed.】
【They would think, “We’ve finally escaped that jinx! And for free!”】
【Then, upon reaching the end, they would discover that you were already waiting there.】
【Just imagining the despair on their faces made you want to laugh.】
【Before your previous ascension to the Realmscape, you had wandered around the Mortal Realm for a while.】
【After all, it had been your first ascension, and your feelings had been rather complicated.】
【This time, you skipped all those sentimental formalities. You crossed the Northern Sea and arrived at the Ascension Road, then stepped onto it without the slightest hesitation.】
【“Nine hundred and ninety-nine dead ends are not truly dead ends. This time, I’ll turn them into a path to life—the path to life for every ascender in the Mortal Realm!
I’ll make sure that evil cult can never force me to mine as a slave again!
I’ll make sure that vicious sect can never hunt me down again!
I’ll make sure that those foreign races can never hold my life and death in their hands again!”】
【The second year. Age twenty-eight.】
【Drawing a trait…】
【Drawing failed!】
【Adjust the trait?】
【Yes/No】
【You chose yes.】
【You replaced “Human Scanner” with “Running Playlist.”】
【“♫ After waiting so long, I’ve finally reached this day~
After squatting for so long, I’ve finally made my dream come true…”】
【You sprinted along the Ascension Road while singing.】
【You discovered that the Ascension Road not only restricted flight, but also restricted supernatural abilities.】
【If you could use your abilities, you could step on “Quantum Ghoststep” and reach the end in no time.】
【Even so, you were still faster this time than the last.】
【After all, your cultivation realm had improved.】
【“Xiao Wu, your master won’t eat you this time. Come with me and see that sea of stars.”】
【The Five Domains Sacred Pill had remained in your hair the entire journey.】
【Whenever you sang, she sang along.】
【You sang to activate the trait’s effect and run faster.】
【She sang simply because she was happy to be with her master.】
【The small boost to her lifespan from consuming the Five Domains Sacred Pill was insignificant compared with your current thousand-year lifespan—barely a drop in the ocean.】
【As for its poison immunity effect,】
【it was at most equivalent to the “Veteran Tomato User” trait.】
【Yet even that trait couldn’t withstand the Dragonfolk’s demonic poison. You would still die; it would merely take a little longer.】
【Besides, you now possessed the super-healing ability of “Wolverine.”】
【So the poison immunity wasn’t particularly important either.】
【Naturally, there was no need to consume the Five Domains Sacred Pill.】
【“Master, have you eaten me before?”】
【“I have. You just didn’t know it, Xiao Wu.”】
【“Then Master should eat Xiao Wu. I can only help Master after you eat me.”】
【“There’s no need. I want Xiao Wu to witness the rest of my life and see how far I can go this time.”】
【“All right. Xiao Wu will do as Master says. La la la~ la la la~”】
【The third year. Age twenty-nine.】
【Drawing a trait…】
【Drawing failed!】
【Adjust the trait?】
【Yes/No】
【You chose no.】
【This time, it took you only a little over a year to reach the end.】
【“Xiao Wu, the nine-hundred-and-ninety-ninth beacon tower is just ahead.”】
【“Yes, Master. I counted them too. Once we cross this beacon tower, will we arrive in the Realmscape?”】
【“That’s right. Hold on tight. We’re charging through!”】
【“Wow!!”】
【The Five Domains Sacred Pill sat in your hair, with several strands wrapped around her body, making her look like a little pill with twin ponytails.】
【When one of your feet stepped onto the Ascension Road’s nine-hundred-and-ninety-ninth beacon tower bearing a stone stele marked with the character “death” for the second time,】
【a familiar sensation of weightlessness rose from beneath your feet.】
【Everything around you vanished in an instant!】
【At that moment, you could neither hear nor feel anything, as though you had fallen asleep without even dreaming.】
【By the time your senses and vision returned, you were already standing in the familiar wilderness.】
【Unlike last time, there was no pile of luggage scattered at your feet from the storage bags and rings.】
【That was because you had already placed all the supplies you had brought from the Mortal Realm—including the Demon Refining Pot and the Immortal-Binding Rope—inside the World-in-a-Pot space.】
【Xiao Wu looked around curiously.】
【“Master, is this the Realmscape? It looks no different from our Mortal Realm.”】
【“The Realmscape possesses an endless sea of stars. This is merely one of its planets. Looking at this single planet, it really does resemble the Mortal Realm, but the grandeur of the Realmscape lies in that stellar sea.”】
【“Wow… There are so many planets…”】
【You did not linger. Instead, you recalled the memories from the sixth simulation and calculated the time.】
【“We arrived in the same year, but a few months earlier than last time. That fellow should still be at the main headquarters of the Winged God Cult.”】
【After determining the direction, you leaped into the air and directly activated the Saint Dragon Clan’s dragon-transformation talent. Amid a resounding dragon’s roar, you rode the clouds and soared away.】
【“Master, where are we going?”】
【“To find an old hag!”】
【“Is she a bad person?”】
【“Heh. She’s rotten to the core.”】
【“Are you going to kill her, Master?”】
【“I wanted to kill her last time, but for the sake of my plan, I’ll probably have to keep her alive this time. I only hope she knows how to read the situation!”】
【The last time you came to the Mortal Realm, you trudged along on foot, miserably lugging a heap of immortal artifacts that clanked and rattled with every step.】
【This time, you flew straight through the clouds at breakneck speed—the difference was like night and day.】
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. 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. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.
