The Nine-Tailed Divine Fox Ancestor slowly rose to her feet. At this moment, Chen Chang'an realized that the intoxicating fragrance he had been smelling was actually her natural scent.
It had to be said—every movement of the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox Ancestor could stir a man's heart.
Even though Chen Chang'an tried his best to control himself, it was inevitable that his mind would occasionally falter.
"What's wrong?"
"You don’t remember me?"
"Chen Chang'an?"
"Or do you know so many women that you can’t keep track?"
Her words alone were enough to send a shiver down Chen Chang'an’s spine, as if countless ants were crawling under his skin.
This feeling was truly uncomfortable.
Damn it!
This woman was far too alluring. The combination of her beauty and voice made Chen Chang'an think that in battle, she wouldn’t even need to lift a finger—just speaking would be enough.
Who could resist her?
Not to mention, her cultivation was likely at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.
Fortunately, Chen Chang'an possessed the Wisdom Law, allowing him to quickly regain his composure and avoid falling into her trap.
Yet, Chen Chang'an couldn’t help but feel puzzled. If he had met such a stunning woman before, there was no way he would have forgotten her.
So why couldn’t he recall where he had seen her?
And why did she feel so familiar?
"You are…?" Chen Chang'an asked hesitantly.
Seeing how quickly Chen Chang'an had steadied himself, the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox Ancestor was slightly taken aback.
"Chen Chang'an."
"You really do have a short memory."
"You may not remember me, but you surely haven’t forgotten the name Hu Tianjiao, have you?"
Hu Tianjiao?
Hearing this name, Chen Chang'an’s expression suddenly changed.
She was Hu Tianjiao?
This…
Of course, Chen Chang'an remembered who Hu Tianjiao was. In the Tai Xuan Realm, he had very few female acquaintances—almost negligible.
But Hu Tianjiao was one of them. However, after meeting, they had only spent a few months together before Chen Chang'an left.
Yet, Chen Chang'an never imagined that these two figures could be connected.
No wonder she felt familiar. Had Hu Tianjiao concealed her true cultivation and altered her appearance back then just to meet him in the Tai Xuan Realm?
"The Hu Tianjiao from the Tai Xuan Realm… is you?"
"Back then, you not only hid your strength but also changed your appearance?" Chen Chang'an frowned.
"Obviously."
"With looks like mine, I could never stay low-key wherever I went."
"If I didn’t alter my appearance, it would’ve been troublesome."
"I didn’t want to accidentally destroy the entire Tai Xuan Realm in a moment of excitement."
"What would’ve happened to you then?" Hu Tianjiao said with a smile.
Her smile alone was enough to dazzle anyone, leaving them utterly stunned.
Seeing Chen Chang'an’s reaction, Hu Tianjiao nodded in satisfaction. "Now that’s the reaction a man should have when looking at me."
"You were far too calm earlier. I was starting to wonder if you even liked women."
Chen Chang'an could only laugh helplessly at her words. Why did people always suspect he preferred men?
"Let’s cut to the chase."
"Why did you wait for me?"
"Even someone like you went to the Tai Xuan Realm just to meet me."
"What’s the real reason?" Chen Chang'an asked.
Hearing this, Hu Tianjiao’s expression turned serious. She gestured for Chen Chang'an to sit beside her before speaking.
"Do you know what innate divine ability our Nine-Tailed Divine Fox Clan possesses?"
Innate divine ability?
Wasn’t it just beauty, charm, and allure?
Reading Chen Chang'an’s expression, Hu Tianjiao shook her head. "What you’re thinking of isn’t it."
"Those are merely racial advantages, not innate divine abilities."
"Our Nine-Tailed Divine Fox Clan’s innate divine ability is to traverse the past and future."
Traverse the past and future?
The Law of Time?
Holy shit!
The Nine-Tailed Divine Fox Clan was born with such an ability?
Didn’t that mean they inherently wielded the power of laws?
"All members of your clan have mastered the Law of Time?" Chen Chang'an asked in astonishment.
"No!"
"Our Nine-Tailed Divine Fox Clan isn’t that formidable."
"The Law of Time is far too profound—not just anyone can grasp it."
"We merely possess the ability to traverse past and future, nothing more."
"And not every member of our clan can awaken this innate divine ability."
So that’s how it was.
Chen Chang'an had been wondering—if every Nine-Tailed Divine Fox had this ability, their strength would be terrifying.
It seemed only those with exceptional talent or pure bloodlines could awaken it.
And the Hu Tianjiao before him was one such individual.
"What does this have to do with me?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
"It has everything to do with you."
"After I successfully awakened this ability, I couldn’t resist using it a few times."
"The first two times, I traveled to the past, but I was merely an observer, forced to watch silently. It was rather dull."
"The last time, I chose the future."
"And in that future, I met you."
Huh?
Met me in the future?
What did that mean?
"You’ve waited for me for millions of years. So, you traveled from millions of years ago to this present moment and saw me?"
"And then?"
"What did I do to you?" Chen Chang'an asked.
At this, Hu Tianjiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes. What did you do to me? What did you want to do to me?
That single glance was enough to make Chen Chang'an nearly stand up in salute.
"The ‘you’ I met wasn’t the present you."
"It was… a future version of you."
"All I remember is that the Ancient Immortal Domain was in ruins, rivers of blood flowing, as if on the verge of annihilation."
"I saw my own corpse there—I had died in that calamity."
"The only one left alive… was you."
"But…"
At this point, Hu Tianjiao’s expression turned grave, and Chen Chang'an’s did as well.
The only survivor was him?
Meaning everyone he knew had perished?
"But what?" Chen Chang'an pressed, his brow furrowing.
"It seemed someone noticed me during my journey to the future."
"I could feel eyes watching me."
"The last thing I saw before fleeing was a colossal hand descending from the sky, rushing toward you."
"As for what happened afterward… I have no idea."
"So, do you understand now why I’ve been waiting for you?"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

. 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!"

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

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. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
