Three Thousand Ways to Kill You

River God...

Jiang Che was rather speechless, staring at the gray-robed youth suspended above the long river of time.

The gray-robed youth looked ordinary in appearance, but his aura transcended the mundane—one glance was enough to tell he was an invincible existence.

"Do you know your crime? Fishing within my domain?"

"Know your grandma's leg!" Jiang Che’s temper flared. He hated arrogant, condescending types like this the most.

It just so happened that he could test his current system rank against this River God.

"Crack—"

The Super Lethal Strike Card was crushed. Jiang Che went all out from the start.

[Ding! Host has spent 2 billion points to purchase a Super Lethal Strike Card...]

The moment the card shattered, a terrifying force instantly radiated outward, spawning countless eerie threads that surged toward the gray-robed River God, intent on killing him.

"Oh?"

The River God’s brow furrowed instantly. He raised a hand and summoned the power of the river of time—he indeed had the right to be arrogant, for he commanded the entire river of time itself.

"Conceptual death force?" The River God seemed to recognize the ability Jiang Che had unleashed.

He didn't choose to withstand Jiang Che’s lethal strike head-on. Instead, he vanished into the river of time.

The river of time quaked, unleashing towering waves that swept both Jiang Che and the River God into a fragment of the river.

In the next instant, the two figures directly appeared in a desolate corner of the Nine Heavens domain. The timeline here was clearly hundreds of thousands of years in the past.

Yet even after he fled into the river of time, Jiang Che’s Super Lethal Strike Card still locked onto him.

"Fate shifts, time reverses, causality exchanges, the celestial river—overturns!"

The River God’s brow tightened. This death force clung on like stubborn plaster, utterly unshakable. Even when he used the fate river’s fate-shifting to swap his destiny with someone else’s, it was useless. The death force had conceptually locked onto him—by all logic, from the moment Jiang Che crushed the card, the River God should have already died.

No matter how he fled, it was useless. The youth simply gave up running and chose to fight head-on!

"How amusing, how amusing... Then I'll directly slay your original body!"

"Manifest the Styx!"

The gray-robed youth struck directly at Jiang Che. A terrifying Styx River manifested, its appearance seeming to open the gates to the underworld. Countless vengeful spirits and tormented souls surged forth. Within the Styx, a colossal, terrifying demonic shadow faintly emerged. At the same time, he revealed himself upstream in the river of time, in the timeline of the ancient primordial era.

The Styx Ancestor from the primordial era was merely one of the billions of incarnations of this gray-robed youth. After all, the Styx was also a river!

But when his attack landed on Jiang Che, something bizarre happened!

The moment his terrifying power made contact with Jiang Che, the boundless energy was completely absorbed and nullified by the golden radiance covering Jiang Che’s body.

Jiang Che emerged completely unharmed.

Invincible defense!

The gray-robed River God’s gaze immediately narrowed. At the same time, Jiang Che’s lethal strike fully engulfed him.

"Pfft—"

The River God staggered back several steps and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His mind reeled. The death force contained in that bizarre card was actually this terrifying?

Though it wasn’t fatal, it was agonizing—like being stabbed in the thigh with a knife. It hurt! He hadn’t been injured or even remembered what pain felt like for countless years.

"Haha... hahaha!"

Suddenly, the gray-robed River God burst into wild laughter. "Thrilling! Absolutely thrilling!"

Faced with the River God’s mad laughter, Jiang Che frowned—a rare reaction from him.

He had tested it.

His system could indeed hold its own against this River God’s attacks, but the cost was enormous.

For instance, the Supreme Invincible Defense Card he used, which was supposed to keep him unstoppable for a whole month and was worth 200 million points, had been shattered by just one of the River God’s attacks. The card that should have lasted a month could now only withstand three hits.

Even Jiang Che’s resurrection armor was severely weakened in the River God’s presence. If the River God killed him, resurrection would require at least ten resurrection cards. Luckily, Jiang Che had stockpiled plenty.

And his Lethal Strike Card hadn’t managed to kill him either?

It seemed his current rank was roughly equal to that of the River God.

"Damn it! What a small-time punk with the same rank as little old me? Upgrade! I’ve got to upgrade—I’m making that hundred trillion points no matter what!"

...

"Feels great! Come on—show me all you’ve got. Let me see if you, a Transcendent, can truly satisfy me!"

The River God’s smile was tinged with madness.

Behind him reflected the myriad great rivers of the heavens—clearly, the River God was also a conceptual deity who controlled all the rivers of existence: the river of time, the river of fate, the River of Blood, the Styx... Everything was under his command.

If Jiang Che’s surname were He instead of Jiang, the River God might have even suppressed him.

"Alright! Bring it on!"

Jiang Che was surprisingly calm. He directly exchanged for ten Super Lethal Strike Cards from the system, along with several hundred ordinary Lethal Strike Cards.

River God: "..."

In an instant, a bucket of cold water was poured over him. He wanted a fight, yes—but not to be on the receiving end of abuse!

"Sir... Do you have no other tricks?"

He craved the thrill of battle, not unilateral torment. After all, he had finally found an opponent of equal rank. Though there were plenty of lunatics among the Travelers, few were willing to spar with him.

"What other tricks? I only have this one move."

Jiang Che blinked as he spoke. "I call it the Exterminate You Three-Thousand!"

With that, he crushed an ordinary Lethal Strike Card.

An ordinary Lethal Strike could kill a true life; a Super one could completely annihilate it. Both were Supreme-rank cards.

So even an ordinary Lethal Strike left the River God unable to dodge. It hit him square.

"SMACK!!!"

The sound was crisp and loud. The Lethal Strike materialized into a massive hand, slapping him viciously across the face.

River God: "..."

"You see? I’ve got two kinds of abilities, one big and one small. Which one would you like?"

River God: "..."

Gazing at Jiang Che for a long time, the gray-robed youth finally let out a long sigh. He surrendered!

This freak, who had appeared out of nowhere, wielded an almost unsolvable death force. Among the Travelers, almost no one could counter it.

Everyone was at the same rank, so killing each other was impossible. At most, you’d slap me, and I’d slap you back.

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
