"Alliance Leader, within just two days, five of our trade outposts have been destroyed."
"The enemy is fierce and terrifyingly powerful."
"If we don’t act soon, I fear..."
Mu Ye had been in a foul mood lately. The forces he sent to the Beast God Continent had been wiped out, and now someone was targeting the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance had kept such a low profile—why were they still being targeted?
"Alliance Leader, stop dwelling on the Beast God Mountain Range for now."
"The priority is to deal with the immediate threat."
"Ordinary fighters likely won’t be a match for this person."
Hearing his subordinate’s words, Mu Ye reluctantly set aside the matter of the Beast God Continent. After all, the current crisis demanded his attention.
"Hmph!"
"Even after all these years of staying under the radar, this person still managed to pinpoint our trade outposts."
"There must be a traitor within the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance."
"Have you investigated this?" Mu Ye asked coldly.
"We have. A peripheral candidate under observation disappeared a few days ago."
"This incident is likely connected to them."
A mere peripheral candidate knew so much?
"What have you all been doing?"
"Didn’t I warn you to stay vigilant at all times?"
"How could an outsider—a candidate, no less—learn so much?"
"Are you all useless?" Mu Ye demanded angrily.
"Alliance Leader, please calm down. I’ve already reprimanded them severely."
"Hmph, a single small mistake can cost us everything. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"Gather all the Great Emperor realm experts from headquarters."
"Whoever is behind this is clearly aiming for headquarters."
"Let’s see just how bold they are, daring to cause trouble here."
Mu Ye was confident in his strength. As a peak Great Emperor, what did it matter how strong the opponent was? Even if they were also at the peak of the Great Emperor realm, his forces were vast and powerful—they wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

A day later
Chen Chang'an arrived at the Fengxiang region of Yunxiang Province with Da Huang in tow.
He hadn’t expected the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance to be so cautious. Following the locations provided by Huang Duoyu and piecing together clues, Chen Chang'an had destroyed nine trade outposts before finally uncovering a lead on the alliance’s headquarters.
None of the outpost managers even knew where the headquarters was located. Even after using soul-searching techniques, Chen Chang'an found no useful information.
But he did discover another clue: the cultivation techniques used by the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance members were all taught by Mu Ye, and they shared a key similarity with those of Long Wuqi’s faction—
Soul manipulation.
Chen Chang'an wasn’t sure if the techniques were identical, but the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance’s methods were far less brutal than the Dragon Emperor Palace’s. At least there were no scenes of corpses piled high and rivers of blood. Unlike the Dragon Emperor Palace, which had turned the Heavenly Dragon Island into a living hell.
The difference in their approaches might stem from Mu Ye and Long Wuqi’s contrasting personalities. But neither of them was benevolent. More importantly—where did these techniques come from? Had the Sacred Master of the Sealed Immortal Holy Land bestowed them upon his followers?
"Enough overthinking."
"The bead is what matters."
Chen Chang'an dismissed the speculation. Compared to the bead, these details were trivial.
"Can you hold your own against a peak Great Emperor now?" Da Huang asked curiously.
"I can fight one, but victory isn’t guaranteed."
"You know as well as I do that even among peak Great Emperors, strength varies."
"If it were someone like my master, I’d stand no chance—but I wouldn’t die." Chen Chang'an chuckled.
Someone like your master?
At the mention of Chen Chang'an’s master, Da Huang couldn’t help but shudder. Mu Yunyao was not someone to be trifled with. In fact, Da Huang suspected her strength far surpassed the Great Emperor realm. She was monstrously powerful.
After all, Da Huang’s own strength rivaled a peak Great Emperor’s, yet he couldn’t withstand a single slap from Mu Yunyao.
"Let’s be real—no one in the entire Profound Sky World can match your master."
"Say, after fusing with this next fetal bead, your cultivation should reach the Sovereign realm."
"Think you’d stand a chance against her then?" Da Huang asked teasingly.
"Against my master?"
"Hard to say."
"You know how it is—the later the fusion, the less dramatic the power increase."
"At the Great Emperor level, even a single step’s difference is like heaven and earth."
"After this fusion, I’d have few rivals among peak Great Emperors."
"But my master? No confidence at all."
Chen Chang'an wasn’t arrogant, but he was satisfied with his strength. Yet when it came to Mu Yunyao… he had no illusions.
"Da Huang, stay sharp."
"Mu Ye might be your fight."
"The most important thing is to find the Embryonic Pearl first."
"Got it. Just watch me."
Da Huang grinned, then his figure flashed as he soared into the sky, heading straight for the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance.
"Beast God is here!"
"You insignificant fools dare to covet the Beast God Province?"
"Perish!"
Beast God?
The Beast God has arrived?
Da Huang's words echoed throughout the entire Fengxiang region, leaving everyone bewildered and unable to react immediately.
"Holy crap, the Beast God? The Beast God of Beast God Province? Why is he here?"
"Someone actually dared to mess with Beast God Province? Are they out of their minds? Oh no, the Beast God is here—this is a tenth-tier demon beast! Are we gonna get dragged into this?"
"Let the guilty pay for their crimes. This has nothing to do with us. Whoever provoked him should deal with it."
"Truly the Beast God—such terrifying pressure, such overwhelming presence!"
The entire Fengxiang region buzzed with discussion. Meanwhile, Mu Ye trembled uncontrollably in excitement.
The Beast God has appeared?
The Beast God has actually appeared?
So it was true all along—the Beast God really exists!
Just as he thought!
After learning that the experts he had sent to Beast God Province had all perished, Mu Ye had already begun suspecting that the Beast God might truly exist.
But he never expected the Beast God to leave Beast God Province and come here in person.
As expected of the Beast God—he must have known it was me who sent them.
"Alliance Leader, could the previous incident also have been the Beast God's doing...?"
Hmm?
The previous incident?
At this thought, Mu Ye frowned. Was this the Beast God's retaliation?
"No time to worry about that now. Since the Beast God has revealed himself, I must see his true form, no matter what."
"All of you, follow me—we face the Beast God!"
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

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. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.

【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer!

Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
