【Seeing A-Dou being hunted down, and the Firelight Society reduced to so few members that they had no choice but to use spells that harmed themselves to boost their combat power…】
【You were so furious that you entered Super One.】
【You took out the Profound Fire Divine Mirror and had Ji Wuqing unleash a fierce attack directly at its surface.】
【And that was how the scene with the pillar of fire blasting the mount just now had come about.】
【“Whoa! This mirror is amazing! It multiplied the power of my divine art several times over!”】
【Ji Wuqing hopped and bounced on top of your head.】
【You dispelled your dragon transformation and returned to the appearance of Chen Dong.】
【Only then did Jinhai realize that the one who had beaten him was not a member of his own race, but a human.】
【“You little brat, what divine art did you practice? You can actually transform into a dragon too?”】
【You glared at him and spat on the ground.】
【“Pah! Don’t insult the word ‘dragon’! What I use is a dragon transformation. You lot transform into maggots!”】
【While Jinhai was so enraged that smoke nearly came out of his nostrils, you turned around and shouted to A-Dou and He Xiangdong.】
【“Let’s go! I’ll wipe them all out!”】
【Your image in A-Dou’s heart grew even more magnificent.】
【This wasn’t merely covering their retreat, nor was it staying behind to hold off the enemy. It was: “I’ll wipe them all out!”】
【He Xiangdong stared at you with bloodshot eyes.】
【“Let’s fight together. The three of us have used the Blood Tide Divine Art. There’s no turning back now.”】
【You looked at them and thought of Ma Bang, Shen Yifeng, and the others from your previous simulation.】
【You said nothing more and spoke to Ji Wuqing instead.】
【“Protect A-Dou and get him out of here.”】
【“All right!”】
【Ji Wuqing did not waste any words. She immediately obeyed, joining Lin the Strongman in escorting A-Dou away at top speed.】
【Ji Wuqing was disguised at the moment as well. She was wearing a mask-type spiritual treasure and had cast a transformation divine art, so even if Jinhai saw her, he would not recognize her as the Ji family's eldest daughter.】
【A-Dou wanted to stay behind, but he also knew that although he possessed the Sun-Hao Ring, his cultivation foundation was still too weak. He had not even mastered any divine abilities yet, so he could not bring out much of the ring’s power.】
【Too many people had already sacrificed themselves to give the three Chosen Ones a chance to escape.】
【A-Dou did not want the members of the Firelight Society to die in vain, either.】
【The most frightening outcome was not dying in battle, but being captured alive and ultimately becoming a weapon for the alien races to further persecute humanity.】
【“Uncle Chen! Catch this! Beat those aliens to death! Avenge our brothers and sisters in the Firelight Society!”】
【Before leaving, A-Dou threw out the Sun-Hao Ring and the Cloudglow Feather Robe. He himself was wearing only a pair of Purple-Gold Cloud-Stepping Boots.】
【Without those boots—the relics of the Female Heavenly Emperor—A-Dou would never have been able to run so fast.】
【You reached out, and the two great treasures flew into your hands of their own accord.】
【In truth, you had no need for these two divine artifacts to deal with Golden Sea Immortal Lord and his underlings, those shrimp soldiers and crab generals.】
【But A-Dou had already gone too far away for you to return them, so you decided to use them for the time being.】
【You and He Xiangdong stood together with the others.】
【Four Heaven-Piercing Realm cultivators facing one Immortal Lord and more than ten thousand Peace Army soldiers!】
【He Xiangdong’s voice was already hoarse, and his entire body trembled slightly.】
【“Mr. Chen, you should leave as well. Even with the Blood Tide Divine Art enhancing us, the four of us will have a hard time defeating Jinhai and his men. Besides, the enemy has reinforcements on the way. The three of us have no way out, but you still can…”】
【“Strategist He! Let’s have one glorious battle! Kill as many aliens as we can! I’ll cover you!”】
【Your entire body shook as you unleashed the racial talent of the Three-Headed Clan, transforming into a being with three heads and six arms.】
【Your six hands respectively gripped the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, the Demon-Refining Pot, the Heavenly Dragon Saber, the Immortal-Binding Rope, the Nine-Crow Divine Bow, and the Profound Fire Divine Mirror!】
【You also wore the Lightning-Chasing Boots on your feet!】
【Had the spiritual treasures evolved from the human world’s immortal artifacts already fallen behind the times?】
【Objectively speaking, low-grade spiritual treasures were indeed somewhat inadequate when facing an Immortal Lord-level combatant.】
【But you still had one trump card: The Divine Armament Revelation!】
【This cultivation technique, obtained as a reward from a simulation mission, was equivalent to a fourth-grade spell by the standards of the real world. You had already cultivated it to the highest level of mastery—returning to simplicity!】
【Your divine power surged forth, mighty and turbulent, flooding into the many spiritual treasures.】
【“Myriad Weapons, Awaken!”】
【It was as though the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls had activated a hotspot. Every immortal artifact from the human world, including the Profound Fire Divine Mirror, transformed into dazzling golden light.】
【At this moment, all the spiritual treasures in your hands temporarily reached the strength of innate spiritual treasures!】
【He Xiangdong and the other two were gradually losing their own wills. When they saw your awe-inspiring, divine-radiance-shrouded figure, they could not help but reveal expressions of admiration and astonishment.】
【No wonder he was able to unify Blazing Light Star. He really is formidable!】
【The only flaw in this move of The Divine Armament Revelation was its enormous consumption of divine power.】
【But that was no problem!】
【You had an entire pot of Origin Stones from the Celestial Dimension!】
【Moreover, you possessed several traits, such as “Super Fast Charge,” which could accelerate the recovery of your divine power.】
【Unfortunately, it seemed you had not brought them with you this time.】
【Still, it was worth mentioning that the time until your next annual trait draw was very near.】
【If your divine power proved insufficient by then, you could simply switch to a trait that allowed for rapid recovery.】
【“Attack! Tear them all to pieces!”】
【Jinhai ordered the assault.】
【The Peace Army surged forward like a tidal wave.】
【With a single sweep of your saber, you sent the heavily armored shield bearers in the front ranks flying, turning them into clouds of blood and opening a path for He Xiangdong and the other two to attack.】
【“Charge!”】
【You led the charge, specifically hunting down the enemy’s strongest fighters.】
【He Xiangdong and the other two maintained the final sliver of their own wills, controlling their bodies as they plunged into the enemy ranks.】
【“Kill!”】
【The three of them roared in unison.】
【The frustration they had endured during all those years of underground operations erupted in a frenzy of slaughter.】
【The helplessness they had felt as they watched their fellow countrymen suffer oppression erupted in a frenzy of vengeance.】
【The anguish of having their ambitions remain unfulfilled for so many years was finally soothed in a frenzy of battle.】
【Under the effects of the Blood Tide Divine Art, all three possessed the combat power of a half-step Immortal Lord. The power of the divine arts and killing techniques they had mastered was greatly amplified.】
【Before long, the surrounding terrain had been flattened by the aftershocks of their battle. One enormous, charred crater after another appeared, while dust filled the air and stretched across the land.】
【Jinhai realized that something was wrong.】
【The elite force he had brought with him had been painstakingly selected. They were personally loyal to him and exceptionally capable soldiers of the Peace Army.】
【If these three men, who were using a self-destructive spell, fought them to the last and wiped them all out, it would be a terrible loss!】
【Jinhai decisively intervened to suppress them.】
【“A Sea of Humanity!”】
【Jinhai was extremely confident in this move.】
【He instantly used the Law of Interpersonal Indexing to manipulate the interpersonal-index threads connecting everyone nearby. He then infused those threads with immortal power, transforming them into sharp blades before directing them at He Xiangdong and the other two to tear them apart!】
【“Bind!”】
【A thunderous shout rang out.】
【Jinhai was stunned to discover that a rope had appeared from who-knows-where. Like a nimble python, it formed a huge web around He Xiangdong and the other two.】
【As those threads of human connection passed through this web, they were naturally caught and entangled with one another in a tangled complexity.】
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.
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!"
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...
