"Dad, I am the head of the Jiang family now, and I am also a father. On behalf of the Jiang family, I will stop all assistance to Dr. Hua." Jiang Li spoke with absolute resolution.
"Bullshit! I'm not dead yet. It's not your turn to call the shots." Elder Jiang was also furious.
"Dr. Hua is neither family nor friend to you. He has received so much help from our Jiang family along the way. Do we owe him something? Or does his rise to power benefit us in any way?
Your granddaughter survived because of a transplant, and now you want to support a doctor who opposes transplants? What will the other families think of us? That the Jiang family burns bridges after crossing them?
His nobility is his own persistence, not our Jiang family's. Dad, our family still needs to survive and develop here!"
Elder Jiang opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
The conversation between Jiang Li and Elder Jiang eventually fizzled out, with neither managing to convince the other.
However, just as Jiang Li had said, he was now the one in charge of the Jiang family, and he was resolute enough. It seemed Dr. Hua was about to lose his biggest backer.
Chen Miemie arrived a bit late, but was fortunate enough to overhear this crucial segment.
The first half of the night passed just like that.
In the second half of the night, he returned home.
He still had plans for the rest of the night.
Chen Miemie sat on the sofa, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind.
Usually, with Qinghua and Loop around during the day, and Xiao Hong and Xiao Shuang at night, Chen Miemie often played the role of a questioner who was still exploring the world.
Asking too many questions meant giving the role of the wise one to those answering, which often made him seem not quite smart enough.
While he certainly wasn't a peerless genius, he was at least above average.
This "above average" Chen Miemie now had to solve a personal, exclusive problem on his own: how to return to the Eternal Moon's main body.
'The only time I returned to the Eternal Moon's main body was the night I first crossed over.
At that time, I was knocked unconscious by Ash, and then my perspective shifted to an incredibly high place.
On the subsequent nights of the Eternal Moon, the most I could do was transform into [Yellow Cloak], but I never went up to the Eternal Moon again.
What's the difference? Could it be that I need to pass out?'
He acted on the thought immediately.
Chen Miemie opened his eyes, restoring his human form.
"Qinghua, knock me out. Go easy on..."
"Smack!" Qinghua had already chopped Chen Miemie's neck with the edge of her hand, showing astonishing execution.
Chen Miemie didn't faint; his resistance was currently quite formidable.
The two stared at each other in awkward silence.
Qinghua blinked, tilted her head cutely, and asked, "Again?"
"Bring it on."
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"
Three more strikes.
With Chen Miemie's active cooperation, he finally collapsed onto the sofa.
The familiar perspective reappeared.
Chen Miemie found himself situated high in the sky, looking down at the earth.
"It seems my theory was right. Only when the Chen Miemie on the ground 'falls asleep' can I return to the Eternal Moon's main body in the sky. Next, let me take a look at this world."
Returning to his main body was the first step Chen Miemie had to take in the second half of the night.
The second step was to find people and anomalies.
The people he was looking for were those at [Mystery] Level 5 or above who were currently breaking through; the anomaly was the red goat that had blinded Dawn.
"According to what Xiao Hong said, as the moon, I will receive some form of 'notification' and can then go observe the people who are breaking through. Let me see where the new 'notifications' are."
Chen Miemie first returned to the Eternal Moon's main body. It was completely desolate, with no unusual phenomena whatsoever.
He cast his gaze back to the World of a Hundred Cities, continuously raising his perspective until everything on the ground became tiny and blurred, eventually turning into small pixels.
Huh? There seemed to be a blinking, sparkling pixel in the distance.
Chen Miemie directed his gaze toward the flashing spot.
[One-Way County].
One of the Hundred Cities.
This was a city incredibly far south of Sixiang City, ruled by the Dark Night Demon Race.
In this city, all roads were strictly one-way. Violators would suffer from "logical disorientation" for three days.
Tiamat was the vice president of the [Symbiosis] Society.
Generally speaking, starting from [Mystery] Level 4, regardless of how sincere they were, Mystics would choose one of the five Supreme Beings as their object of faith.
Tiamat's codename was [Parasite Queen], and she worshipped the Rainbow Moon.
If possible, she would have definitely chosen to break through during the time of the Rainbow Moon. However, due to an accident tonight, she uncontrollably began her breakthrough journey toward [Mystery] Level 6.
She had completely absorbed the materials dropped by the anomaly, and her entire body began to change drastically. Crown-like spikes grew from her head.
The compatibility of the materials was quite good, and the first stage was completed smoothly.
In the following second stage, her luck ran out.
Bubbles constantly bulged beneath her skin, as if something was trying to burst out of her body.
Soon, under the power of alienation, she could no longer maintain her original human form. Like melting ice cream, her body parts turned into a viscous fluid and drooped downward.
"No!" she let out an agonizing scream.
"Rainbow Moon above, I beg for your mercy!" Having melted away by more than half, she roared at the moon.
Unfortunately, the Xiao Hong that Tiamat worshipped was asleep, and her faint flashes were not enough to wake Xiao Hong up.
Xiao Hong didn't come, but Chen Miemie did.
Tiamat had already accepted the failure of her breakthrough and was preparing to commit suicide.
Suddenly, incredibly vast moonlight, almost tangible, fell upon her.
Instantly, her collapsing body stopped disintegrating.
Tiamat felt this light, and her previously ashen face immediately revealed sheer ecstasy.
She abruptly looked up at the sky. "Rainbow Moon above, I..."
Her voice came to a screeching halt.
The surroundings were bathed in yellow moonlight.
This was the gaze of the Eternal Moon.
The smile on her face vanished without a trace.
It wasn't enough for a Supreme Being to just show up; they had to truly favor her. And the Eternal Moon, representing mystery, had never been known to favor anyone in nearly ten thousand years.
Chen Miemie's gaze right now was like an X-ray, seeing the blonde woman on the ground with absolute clarity.
From the outside in, from her flesh to her [Mystery].
'I'm still more used to status panels. Let's give this breakthrough candidate a panel display.'
Yellow text appeared.
[[Parasite Queen] Tiamat. Race: Demon. A special entity composed of countless parasitic organisms.]
[648 types of parasitic organisms have reached a delicate balance within her body. Her body is a walking ecosystem; various parasites can be seen writhing beneath her skin.]
[[Mystery] 5.99 [Immortality] 6.3. Abilities: Parturition, Parasitism, Infection. Currently breaking through and ranking up. Current progress: 49%. If there is no interference, it will soon fail.]
On his end, Chen Miemie leisurely read through the panel.
Down below, Tiamat was in agony.
Everyone wants to live. The problem was that, for her right now, it felt like being on the execution block with the guillotine blade raised high, just waiting to drop but never actually falling.
This minute of waiting for death felt absolutely like an eternity.
After Chen Miemie finished reading Tiamat's panel, he shifted his gaze to her.
"Are you willing to convert your faith to me?"
When the voice reached Tiamat's ears, it turned into an indescribable, murmuring babble, like a vibrating electronic light wave.
She understood its meaning.
Tiamat's already despairing face once again showed intense emotional fluctuations.
"I am willing! I am willing! I, Tiamat, shall henceforth serve the great Evermoon for all my life!"
"Bound."
The yellow moonlight transformed into silken threads, plunging toward Tiamat's body.
Watching these threads of the Evermoon, Tiamat offered no resistance whatsoever. Instead, she slightly thrust her chest forward to welcome them.
She had never seen it before, but she knew exactly what it was: the Bond of the Evermoon, the highest tier of contract forged after swearing an oath to the moon.
The similar Bond of the Frostmoon and Bond of the Rainbow Moon looked exactly the same, differing only in their colors.
With the contract established, the formal blessing began.
A solemn and majestic murmuring echoed through the air.
"I am the Evermoon, and I bestow my blessing upon you."
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?
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
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.”
