[Year Twenty, Age Forty-Six.]
[The Wing God Sect has been destroyed.]
[The territory on Lingwei Star was split in two, with half belonging to the Wing Ancestor Sect and the other half belonging to humanity.]
[Inside the Marshal’s Residence, Xiang Xing and Sotuofeiren stood before you.]
[Xiang Xing had already reached the Qi Transformation Realm.]
[After arriving on Lingwei Star, he fought battles while cultivating, causing his cultivation to rise at an astonishing speed.]
[Sotuofeiren wore a beaming smile.]
["Master, now that our greatest enemy, the Wing God Sect, has been completely toppled, the remaining minor factions have all rushed to surrender at the first sign of trouble. They’re no threat at all! So, the Wing Ancestor Sect should be returned to your hands now."]
["Me? No. The Wing Ancestor Sect has always belonged to you and the other four—Xuanlan and the rest."]
["Then what should I do with those wingfolk? Bury them alive or burn them to death? And what about the other races? Should I take care of them all at once?"]
[Sotuofeiren put on a vicious expression. He had completely failed to realize that he himself was also a member of the wingfolk and one of the other races.]
[Xiang Xing, standing nearby, could only laugh helplessly at Sotuofeiren.]
[At first, Xiang Xing, Liu Ying, and the others had been somewhat worried about your decision to trust several members of the wingfolk. They knew all too well how ruthless and treacherous the other races could be, and were afraid that these few wingfolk might betray you at a critical moment.]
[After all, these five wingfolk from the Void Realm were playing an extremely important role.]
[No one in the entire Wing Ancestor Sect knew that you were their true backer. All they knew was that they were following the Wing Ancestor’s proxy and worshiping the Wing Ancestor.]
[In other words, your vassal’s vassal is not your vassal. They even believed themselves to be your enemies.]
["There’s no need to execute anyone. Let them live as they wish and cultivate as they wish. If you want to develop some sort of social structure, that’s fine too.
Do as you please. There’s only one rule: no one is allowed to discriminate against or oppress humans—or any other race.
Everyone is equal. If you want social resources or status, earn them through your own abilities."]
[Sotuofeiren found this somewhat difficult to understand.]
["Master, I thought you wanted to wipe out all the other races?"]
["I do. But objectively speaking, that wouldn’t be a good choice…"]
[You gave your trusted aides a brief lecture.]
[As everyone knew, humanity had been suppressed for far too long.]
[For thousands upon thousands of years, humans had occupied the lowest, slave-like rung of society in the Yuhua Galaxy.]
[It was only because of your arrival—combined with the strength humanity had now acquired and the strategic plans you had prepared in advance—that humans had been able to reclaim their homeland and stand tall once more.]
[But the reality was…]
[Their culture had been severed.]
[Their social systems had collapsed.]
[Technology was in the hands of the other races.]
[The monetary chaos currently unfolding on Fubao Star was merely one of the countless problems humanity faced as it tried to rebuild its homeland.]
[That was why humanity could not completely sever ties with the other races for now.]
[Humanity needed their help.]
[It needed to reclaim technological knowledge, explore social structures suited to the current environment, and recover its own culture from the ancient texts preserved by certain other races.]
[None of these things could be accomplished by humanity alone.]
[If all the other races were slaughtered, it would be even more impossible. Humanity would have to start from scratch and evolve its culture and society all over again.]
[In a certain sense, that would constitute an enormous loss.]
["Not all humans are good people, and not all members of the other races are bad people. As long as they’re willing to communicate and cooperate with humanity sincerely, humans shouldn’t face them with an attitude of extreme exclusion."]
[Xiang Xing, a man of the military through and through, was clearly struggling to follow. He asked:]
["But didn’t you say before, ‘Those who are not of our race can never truly share our heart’?"]
[You raised two fingers.]
["‘Guarding against the other races’ and ‘cooperating with the other races’ are not contradictory. The key is knowing where to draw the line.
Just imagine: We’ve only just reclaimed one galaxy, and we immediately launch a campaign of genocide here. What will we face in the future?"]
[When the subject was framed this way, Xiang Xing’s mind began to work.]
["The other races in the surrounding galaxies will regard us as a tremendous threat rather than seeing this as an internal matter of the Yuhua Galaxy. They’ll join forces to wipe us out!"]
["Exactly. This is a principle every race understands. No matter how afraid they are of humanity rising again, they still haven’t exterminated us because they aren’t united themselves. They’re afraid of being attacked by everyone else as well."]
[Sotuofeiren suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders grow heavier.]
[The people of the Wing Ancestor Sect recognized only him and Xuanlan’s other three companions. They did not recognize you or the rebel army.]
[Whether the two sides could coexist peacefully on Lingwei Star would depend entirely on how Sotuofeiren and the other four mediated between them.]
[The good news was…]
[Sotuofeiren had once been a city lord. He was a politician, and balancing war and peace was precisely what he excelled at.]
["Besides, we have one practical condition that forces us to preserve some of the other races."]
["What is it?"]
["The Ares Immortal Kingdom will send an imperial inspector to inspect the Yuhua Galaxy next year. We need the other races to continue pretending to rule this galaxy, so the Ares Immortal Kingdom won’t become suspicious."]
[You knew all too well what attitude the great powers of the other races throughout the universe held toward humanity.]
[The Ares Immortal Kingdom, one of the two great immortal kingdoms of the Southern Star Realm, was no exception.]
[The Wing God Sect had always been under the jurisdiction of the Ares Immortal Kingdom. It was required to pay taxes regularly and carry out various orders and policies issued by the kingdom.]
[You clearly did not yet possess the strength to stand against an immortal kingdom, so you had to put on a show and maintain the appearance of the previous system of governance.]
[You could not openly rebel against the Ares Immortal Kingdom just yet.]
[Sotuofeiren furrowed his brows.]
["I’m afraid it won’t be easy to fool them. Lingwei Star has changed so drastically that…"]
[The corners of your mouth lifted.]
["As long as that person is still around, it shouldn’t be a problem."]
[Year Twenty-One, Age Forty-Seven.]
[Extracting trait…]
[Extraction successful!]
[“Lend Me Your Strength!” (Golden Legend):
Friend, do you know what Wi-Fi is?
You can share your cultivation with other people, allowing them to obtain the same realm, divine abilities, cultivation techniques, and divine arts as you. However, they cannot obtain the effects of your traits.
A maximum of ten people may connect at the same time, and each instance of cultivation sharing can last for up to one hour.
After receiving a cultivation share, the same person must wait at least twelve hours before receiving another.
Sharing your cultivation with others will not affect you in any way.
If the other person is far away, they only need to shout a password you have set, and you will hear them and decide whether or not to share your cultivation.
We recommend setting the password to: “Lend me your strength—I am He-Man!” Isn’t that cool?]
[Would you like to adjust the trait?]
[Yes/No.]
“Wow…”
Chen Yi, watching the simulation, couldn’t help but stare in amazement at this brand-new version of the Golden Legend trait.
“It can actually let other people possess my cultivation? Although I’m only at the World-Shattering Realm right now, duplicating ten of me wouldn’t be all that impressive. But what about in the future? The Heaven-Connecting Realm? The Immortal Lord level? The Immortal King level? Or even…”
Chen Yi was so excited that he couldn’t keep the corners of his mouth from rising.
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. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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.
