After verifying the abilities of the Grand Elder of the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect, Chen Chang'an had formed a rough judgment in his mind.
With his current mastery of the Death Law, he could push someone who had just entered the Celestial Immortal Realm to the brink of death, but he couldn't outright erase them.
As for the Life Law, it could restore a dying person to about half their original vitality, but it couldn't fully heal them.
"Ah, I was careless."
"I should have left a complete corpse to see if I could revive the dead."
Chen Chang'an regretfully patted his forehead. He hadn't yet tested whether his Life Law could bring the deceased back to life.
But now that the Grand Elder had turned to ashes, there was no way to conduct further experiments.
"Forget it, I can't just keep exploiting him alone."
"Hmm, there are more below."
Chen Chang'an returned to the Li Family and looked at the corpses on the ground, nodding in satisfaction.
"Good, you've done well."
"I'll borrow this corpse for now," Chen Chang'an said with a smile.
Huh?
Borrow this corpse?
The moment these words left his mouth, everyone's expressions changed—even Da Huang looked utterly shocked.
"Big Bro, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't do anything reckless!"
"This is not something you should be 'using'!" Da Huang stared at Chen Chang'an nervously.
Hmm?
Chen Chang'an gave everyone a puzzled look. "What are you all thinking?"
"Can't you have healthier thoughts?"
"What is Da Huang talking about?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.
"See? Xiao Yao is so pure-hearted."
"The rest of you are just filthy."
Chen Chang'an shot them a disdainful glance before turning his attention to the corpses and casually selecting one.
"Big Bro, this one's ugly. Can't you pick a better-looking one?"
"Shut up."
"I'm just looking out for you."
"Shut. Up."
"You... sigh, fine. Maybe I should take you to a brothel?"
"Will you just shut up?"
"Alright, alright, I'll shut up. You're so ungrateful."
Da Huang's expression was a mix of exasperation and motherly concern, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Under everyone's curious gazes, Chen Chang'an approached the corpse and placed his left hand on it.
As he channeled the Life Law, he closely observed the corpse's condition.
"I think... this person's complexion is improving?"
"It really is! Can he actually be revived?"
"No way, he's already dead. Can he really come back?"
"I've heard of such abilities, but just placing a hand on someone to revive them? Never."
"Holy crap, his eyes just opened!"
"He's really alive?!"
Under the stunned eyes of the crowd, the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect disciple who had been killed by Li Yuntian moments ago actually came back to life.
The disciple blinked, still disoriented. Hadn't he died? What was happening now?
"Awake?"
"How do you feel?" Chen Chang'an asked with a smile.
Hearing his voice, the disciple turned to look at him. "Did... did you save me?"
"I feel alright, just a bit weak."
"Thank you. You're a good person."
Chen Chang'an checked his condition. Though revived, the disciple's body was in poor shape—even moving would be difficult.
It seemed this was the current limit of his Life Law.
"No need to thank me."
"Feeling uncomfortable, aren't you?"
"Here, let me free you."
Huh?
Free him?
What did that mean?
Before the disciple could react, darkness swallowed his vision, and he lost consciousness once more.
The scene sent chills down everyone's spines. Holy hell, this was too brutal!
Revive him just to kill him again?
Was this some kind of sick joke?
"Alright, I'm done here."
"You all can dispose of the corpse now."
At Chen Chang'an's words, the crowd numbly nodded. It took them a long while to snap out of their daze after he left.
"Ancestor, what kind of power was that?"
"He casually brought a dead man back to life?"
"That's way too terrifying!"
"Ancestor, do you know what technique Senior Chen Chang'an just used?"
Li Yuntian shook his head in bewilderment. This was beyond his understanding.
"I've heard that some high-grade immortal pills possess such abilities."
"Those pills can revive the dead and regenerate flesh, but to do it with just a touch? Unheard of," Li Yuntian muttered in shock.
Chen Chang'an's overwhelming strength once again left the Li Family in awe. Meanwhile, Da Huang stared at him excitedly.
"Big Bro, was that your power at work?"
"Has it gotten this strong already?"
"You can even revive the dead?"
"You really scared me earlier—I thought you'd developed some weird fetish!"
"Shut it!"
"You think I'm like you, with nothing but filth in that dog brain of yours?"
"Besides, you're just a dog. What could you even do?"
"I wonder if the Primordial Immortal Realm has any female dogs. If so, I’ll arrange one for you," Chen Chang'an said coldly.
Holy crap!
Da Huang was indignant. Sure, he acted like a dog sometimes, but he was still a noble young master of the Qilin Clan!
Setting him up with an actual dog? How could he ever show his face again?
"Big Bro, if you're going to say things like that, then we need to have a serious talk—"
Thud!
"Big Bro, I was wrong! I’ll never do it again!"
Da Huang immediately dropped to his knees. The sight made Xiao Yao wrinkle her nose in disdain—it was impressive how his stubby little legs managed such a proper kneel.
"Get up."
"Pathetic."
"With this matter settled, it's time for us to leave," Chen Chang'an said calmly.
"Big Bro, what’s our next move?"
"Should we take the initiative or wait for things to come to us?" Da Huang asked curiously.
"We’ll take it one step at a time."
"First, we’ll wipe out the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect. After that... we should focus on improving our strength."
"After all, I’m not entirely sure if my body is truly invincible even in the Primordial Immortal Realm."
Based on Chen Chang'an's deductions, experts up to the Immortal King Realm couldn’t harm him.
But what about those beyond? Immortal Emperors?
Would his body still hold up? He couldn’t be certain, so strengthening himself was the safest path.
"Big Bro, leveling up is going to be tough for you, isn’t it?"
"Are there any suitable places in the Profound Heaven Domain?" Da Huang asked.
"Hmm... not sure. We’ll have to look."
"Maybe we’ll stumble upon one as we go."
. 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!"
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!
