Chen Chang'an was a peerless prodigy with unrivaled combat prowess—this was an undisputed fact.
But who could have imagined that even his disciples and maidservants were equally monstrous?
A great prodigy leading a pack of little prodigies?
Did he choose them because they were prodigies, or did simply associating with Chen Chang'an turn them into one?
"Damn, if I could, I'd willingly be Chen Chang'an's dog if it meant becoming a prodigy."
"Pathetic. He already has dogs around him."
"So what? What's wrong with a couple more?"
"Hmph, I'm different. I'd agree to be anything as long as Chen Chang'an allows it."
"Even if it means eating shit?"
"A true man does not refuse."
At this moment, no one was more thrilled than the members of the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect. After all, this was their Supreme Elder—they had hit the jackpot.
"By the way…"
"Are you really unaware of the Ancestor's whereabouts?" Chen Yunxuan asked, unwilling to give up.
"W-well… we don’t know. Maybe… maybe he’s cultivating somewhere right now."
"Ah… fine."
Heaven's Abyss Domain
"Big bro, what do you think they're doing?"
"Hmm, seems like they’re up to something shady."
"It’s the middle of the night, a man and a woman… could it be…?"
"Shh, let’s keep watching and find out."
"Hey… Qingqing, can you at least crouch down? Standing there like a statue makes us way too obvious."
At this moment, Chen Chang'an and his "Three Idiots" squad were lying on a cloud, secretly spectating.
Chen Qingqing, as usual, stood motionless, much to Chen Chang'an's exasperation.
"What… kind of hobby is this?" Chen Qingqing gave him a strange look. They had been traveling just fine—why suddenly stop to spy on others?
She had no curiosity, no interest in gossip, and couldn’t relate at all to Chen Chang'an's actions.
"You just don’t get it."
"Gossip is one of life’s greatest pleasures."
"Aren’t you curious what they’re up to?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"No. What they do has nothing to do with me."
"Fine, just keep standing there then."
Chen Chang'an knew he couldn’t change Chen Qingqing anytime soon. As long as she didn’t interrupt his entertainment, it was fine.
"But… big bro, why are you even interested in these two?"
"They don’t seem special at all."
"Aren’t they just having an affair?" Da Huang asked, confused.
"You think I’m like you? If it were just an affair, would I care?"
"I’m not that shallow."
Huh?
Shallow?
Was he shallow?
"Why are you two nodding?!" Da Huang was about to argue when he noticed Xiao Qiu and Yi Tuo nodding in agreement.
"Quiet."
"Just watch."
The reason Chen Chang'an was interested in these two was because he sensed something unusual about them.
"How’s your progress?"
"Everything’s going smoothly. In a few days, I’ll successfully marry into the Yongyang Immortal Dynasty’s royal family."
"Good. Very good."
"Once you enter the Yongyang Immortal Dynasty, we’ll have a chance to make you its Empress."
"By then, the entire Yongyang Immortal Dynasty will fall into our hands."
"And with that, the Heaven's Abyss Domain will be under our control."
"Yes, Commander."
"Did the Demon Lord have any other orders?"
"That’s not for you to ask. Our mission is to secretly control the Heaven's Abyss Domain."
"The Yongyang Immortal Dynasty is the strongest force here. Controlling them means controlling the entire domain."
"Understood."
Hearing this, Da Huang and the other two were stunned.
Demon Lord? These two were actually demons?!
But what baffled them more was—how did Chen Chang'an figure it out?
Demons were masters of disguise. Unless you thoroughly inspected their souls, it was nearly impossible to tell.
Yet Chen Chang'an not only noticed something off but even chose to spy on them?
"Big bro, you’re insane!"
"How did you even spot that?"
"But… what are the demons planning?"
"Why control just one Heaven's Abyss Domain? That doesn’t make sense."
"With their strength, they wouldn’t need to resort to this."
Da Huang couldn’t wrap his head around it. This wasn’t the demons’ usual style. Back in the day, they were all about brute force—plundering outright, never scheming or infiltrating like this.
Even Chen Qingqing was surprised. She hadn’t detected anything unusual about these two.
But Chen Chang'an’s next words left them all speechless.
"They’re human. Not demons."
Huh?
Not demons?
Then they’re just traitors?!
Humans working for demons?!
"Well, not exactly."
"Originally, they were human. But now, they’ve become demons."
"Probably offered their souls to the Demon Lord in exchange for power or something else they wanted."
Ever since his last encounter with the demons, Chen Chang'an had been puzzled.
While others thought the demons’ actions were typical, he never bought it.
This time was just a coincidence, but from their conversation, Chen Chang'an sensed the demons’ ambitions went far beyond mere plundering.
"This is just one Heaven's Abyss Domain—and we happened to stumble upon it."
"What about the places we haven’t seen?"
"Could the same thing be happening elsewhere?"
"The demons’ goal is the entire Primordial Immortal Domain."
"My guess is, given their current strength, they don’t dare launch a full-scale invasion yet."
"Their earlier moves seemed like intimidation, but in reality… it was to divert the Nine Immortal Clans’ attention."
"Make them think the demons haven’t changed, so they focus on preparing for direct attacks."
"Meanwhile, the demons are quietly infiltrating the Primordial Immortal Domain."
"When the time comes, countless humans will already be under their control." Chen Chang'an’s voice turned cold.
Hearing his analysis, even Chen Qingqing frowned.
Since when did demons become this cunning?
"From what I know of the Demon Lord… he’s not this smart."
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System."

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?
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...
