A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
On a remote, desolate planet at the edge of the Feather Spirit Galaxy, one hundred thousand terrifying strands of Law Power erupted all at once, shaking the entire planet to its core.
BOOM!!
A silver-white pillar of light burst out from the planet's interior. In the span of a single instant, half the planet was torn apart as if struck by a cataclysmic force, and shattered into fine dust.
The overwhelming power twisted the surrounding space into fragments, forming a small-scale spatial storm that devoured everything in its path.
A figure darted out from the heart of the storm, and with a backhanded palm strike, countless strands of Primordial Law surged forth. In just a few moments, the burgeoning spatial storm was reduced back to its initial, non-existent state.
Looking at the now half-ruined desolate planet, Mo Tianxiao's mood was utterly elated.
"This is the full completion of the Dao Verification Realm. Finally, I have enough strength to barely protect myself."
Dense, countless silver-white strands of Law Power coiled around Mo Tianxiao's body. Under his complete control, these Law powers moved as naturally as his own limbs, dispersing at his will to transform into the Five Elements Laws.
There was not the slightest hint of discomfort, as if these Five Elements Laws had been painstakingly cultivated by him from the very start.
The next moment, the full hundred thousand Primordial Laws morphed into violent, scarlet thunderbolts that tore the surrounding space apart. Thunder dragons slithered through the air, brimming with a breath of utter destruction.
After that, Mo Tianxiao transformed into dozens of other types of Laws he had witnessed before, playing around with them to his heart's content.
"Truly worthy of being called Primordial Laws. They are the very kings of all Laws."
After a hundred years of seclusion, he had cultivated a full hundred thousand Primordial Laws, and his cultivation base had reached the full completion of the Dao Verification Realm.
"From this day onward, I am unrivaled beneath the Overlord Realm!"
While he could not guarantee he could take out an Overlord-level foe in a mutual kill, he was confident no cultivator below the Overlord Realm could stand a chance against him.
"It's time to head back to the Feather Spirit Clan. Liya and Xuan Bingji should have broken through to the Dao Verification Realm by now."
The moment he returned to the Feather Spirit Clan, Mo Tianxiao noticed the entire clan's atmosphere felt strangely off.
"Master! You're finally back! Little Ya urgently needs your help! Come with me quickly!"
He had barely stepped into the Sacred City when Lan Qin suddenly appeared and dragged him away. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in the familiar Hall of Sanctity.
Lin Ruo, the many elders of the Feather Spirit Clan, Mo Xingtian, Liya, and even Xuan Bingji were all gathered here.
The moment Mo Tianxiao's figure materialized, every pair of eyes in the hall locked onto him.
"What in the world is going on?"
Mo Tianxiao looked completely bewildered. He had only just gotten back, he hoped no one was about to pull some shocking stunt on him.
"Hmph. This is the boy?"
Seated beside Mo Xingtian was a cultivator from the Shama Clan who bore a seven or eight-point resemblance to him. Judging by his looks, he was far older than Mo Xingtian, so he was almost certainly Mo Xingtian's father or a similar elder relative.
Mo Taiyuan stared at Mo Tianxiao, his gaze as dismissive as if he was looking at a mere ant.
"A human at the mid-stage of the Dao Master Realm? I say, Clan Chief Lin Ruo, even if the Feather Spirit Clan does not wish to honor the marriage contract with our Shama Clan, you do not need to find such a worthless nobody to insult us, do you?"
Mo Tianxiao was immediately annoyed by Mo Taiyuan's taunt. So what if he was pretending to be at the mid-stage of the Dao Master Realm? Was there anything wrong with his disguise?
These people couldn't even see through his disguise, and they dared to call themselves Overlord Realm powerhouses?
If he hadn't sensed that Mo Taiyuan was a peak high-tier Overlord Realm great power, Mo Tianxiao would have definitely started a long, drawn-out argument with him on the spot.
Lin Ruo wore a faint calm smile in response to Mo Taiyuan's accusation. "Clan Chief Mo, please do not be angered. My daughter and Little Friend Mo are deeply in love with each other. As her mother, I would never stand in their way."
"Besides, it is the current era now. The old arranged marriage system is long outdated. When this marriage contract was first drawn up, Little Ya hadn't even been born. It would be far too unfair to her."
Hearing this, Liya immediately ran over to Mo Tianxiao's side, wrapped both her arms around his arm, and winked playfully at him.
Mo Tianxiao immediately understood the whole situation. The Shama Clan was still refusing to give up on the marriage alliance with the Feather Spirit Clan, but from the looks of the Feather Spirit Clan's elders, and even Lin Ruo's attitude, they clearly wanted nothing more to do with the Shama Clan.
And he, this seemingly weak human, had ended up being their disposable, insignificant shield.
Mo Tianxiao did not mind this at all. He had old scores to settle with the Shama Clan sooner or later, so getting to annoy them first was a nice bonus, and it would also conveniently drag the Feather Spirit Clan deeper into this mess.
Mo Taiyuan's expression darkened, and he said in a low, heavy voice:
"Clan Chief Lin Ruo, that may be true, but countless forces across the starry sky know about the planned marriage between our two clans. If you break the engagement just like that, both our clans will lose a great deal of face, won't they?"
The Shama Clan was such a colossal power, who in this stretch of the starry sky did not know of them? If word got out that the Feather Spirit Clan had rejected their marriage proposal, where would the Shama Clan's dignity stand?
"That's right, Clan Chief Lin Ruo, you can't only think about your daughter. You have to consider the bigger picture, don't you? The Feather Spirit Clan is such a huge force, you can't just break an engagement whenever you feel like it. What will all the other forces think of us?"
The two Shama Clan elders who had come with Mo Taiyuan quickly added their voices, putting more pressure on Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo remained completely unflustered. "What other forces think of us has nothing to do with us. We are cultivators on the path of cultivation, why should we care about the opinions of other cultivators?"
"Is there anyone here who thinks breaking this marriage contract would bring shame to the Feather Spirit Clan?"
Lin Ruo turned to look at the Feather Spirit Clan's elders.
"Not at all not at all. The Clan Chief is right. We are cultivators, why should we care what others think?"
"Exactly! It's just breaking a marriage contract, it's no big deal. If it's not a good fit, we just call it off. Who would dare pick a fight with us just over this?"
Lan Qin looked at the Shama Clan elders with obvious impatience. "Hey, are you all that petty? It's such a trivial matter, can we just wrap this up quickly? I have actual important things to attend to."
Now that her master had left seclusion, she still had to ask him all the refining questions she had accumulated over the past hundred years, she did not have time to waste chattering pointlessly with these Shama Clan people.
"You!"
The Shama Clan elder grew furious at Lan Qin's blunt attitude.
"Hmph! This boy is a human! Is the Feather Spirit Clan really going to let your clan chief's daughter marry a human cultivator? Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock to every other force?"
Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao was left completely speechless. What did they mean by Liya marrying him? That was completely backwards.
Even if they were using him as a shield, couldn't they have made it sound more imposing? Why did it sound like he was going to be some sort of live-in son-in-law?
"What's wrong with being human? Let me tell you, watch your mouth! He is my master!"
Lan Qin shot up from her chair, pointing at the Shama Clan elder across the hall ready to yell at him, before a Feather Spirit Clan elder next to her quickly held her back.
"Elder Lan, calm down, don't act rashly."
"What?? This human is your master??"
"Hahahahahaha! Lan Qin, have you lost your mind? A dignified Overlord Realm cultivator, taking a human at the Dao Master Realm as your master!"
The several Shama Clan elders burst into loud, raucous laughter, fully convinced Lan Qin was just making a bad joke.
Only Mo Xingtian's face turned dark as he whispered a few words into Mo Taiyuan's ear.
Mo Taiyuan's expression shifted slightly, and he looked at Mo Tianxiao with newfound surprise in his eyes.
So this is the human lad who helped Lan Qin break through to become a mid-grade Venerable Realm artifact refiner... How intriguing.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
