Jiang Che had his fun, but the oppressive aura emanating from his special effects was very real!
The terrifying pressure of the Nirvana Stage instantly enveloped more than half of the province.
Zhou Fan, the Little Demon God, was the first to sense this overwhelming presence.
"How is this possible? The aura of a Nirvana Stage powerhouse?"
Zhou Fan, the ever-helpful citizen, was busy treating patients at the hospital when he suddenly felt this terrifying pressure, nearly scaring him out of his wits.
"This can't be! How could a Nirvana Stage expert descend to the mortal realm? Unless... my old enemies have broken through and come for revenge?"
Zhou Fan's pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks.
In his past life, he had reached the ninth rank of the Divine Comprehension Stage, just half a step away from the Martial God Stage, yet he was still hailed as a Martial God.
Back then, he had the privilege of attending a lecture by a super demonic cultivator of the Nirvana Stage in the "Southwestern Nether Heaven," so he couldn’t possibly mistake the aura of this stage.
"Are you kidding me?! First, the Shattering Heaven Stage experts came from behind the gate, and now even the Nirvana Stage is here?"
Zhou Fan was on the verge of breaking down. No matter how composed he usually was, he couldn’t stay calm now.
Even at his peak, as a city-slaughtering demon lord, he would have groveled before a Nirvana Stage powerhouse—because in front of such beings, he wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.
"No, I can’t stay here anymore. The mortal realm is too small... I need to find a way back to the Nine Heavens. Once there, I’ll be like a fish in the ocean or an eagle in the sky, free from all restraints!"
Zhou Fan’s gaze grew profound.
He was genuinely terrified—so much so that he probably wouldn’t sleep tonight.
Meanwhile, chaos erupted in the Fatebearers Association.
"A Nirvana Stage expert has appeared? That’s impossible!"
Deputy Leader Xu Rong rushed out from the headquarters, his Diaochan figurine hanging oddly at his waist.
"Report to the Leader immediately! Report to the Leader!"
"No need... I’m already here."
A familiar voice rang out, soothing the agitated members of the Fatebearers Association like a calming hand.
A figure in a black robe slowly materialized, revealing the youthful face beneath.
"Leader! You’re here!" Xu Rong was so emotional he nearly cried, as if he’d found his anchor.
Xu Mo remained silent for a moment.
"I’ve already reported this to the seniors of the Earth Pavilion."
"Leader, what did the Earth Pavilion seniors say?" Xu Rong asked. Within the Fatebearers Association, only the Leader, Xu Mo, had the authority to communicate with the Earth Pavilion. If the Leader died, this privilege would automatically pass to the Deputy Leader.
"The seniors said... we might be dealing with a Fatebearer of an extraordinarily high rank. The individual likely wasn’t transmitted from the Nine Heavens but is instead a reincarnated powerhouse. To conceal their breakthrough to the Nirvana Stage from all of us, they must possess immense hidden resources. Their past life must have been formidable even by the standards of the Nine Heavens... They advised us not to provoke them."
In the crowd, Chen Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He had only recently learned about the Nirvana Stage and knew that such experts were incredibly powerful even in the Nine Heavens.
If he could trick a Nirvana Stage powerhouse to their death... wouldn’t his reward points explode?
"Leader, now that even Nirvana Stage martial artists have appeared, do we still have a chance to enter the Nine Heavens in the future?"
A chosen one bound to a system raised his hand and asked.
"Of course. Moreover, our Fatebearers Association has influence across all realms of the Nine Heavens. Every domain has our presence. Once any of you reaches the Divine Comprehension Stage, you can apply to join the Earth Pavilion... That’s where the real elites gather!"
Xu Mo’s voice trembled with excitement as he spoke.
His system was a check-in system!!!
He had already visited every famous check-in spot in the mortal realm, and his strength had reached the peak of the Shattering Heaven Stage. Once he advanced to the Divine Comprehension Stage, he could be promoted to the Earth Pavilion!
Besides, the gate was about to awaken. No one wanted to enter the Nine Heavens more than he did.
The Nine Heavens were vast beyond measure. With his check-in system, reaching the Heaven Pavilion wasn’t out of the question!
The Heaven Pavilion... the ultimate dream of every Fatebearers Association member.
"From now on, all members must keep a low profile. Do not offend anyone under any circumstances."
Xu Mo was genuinely afraid. If some fool accidentally provoked this Nirvana Stage expert and got the entire association wiped out... wouldn’t that be the worst kind of injustice?
"Chen Hao!!!"
Xu Mo’s shout snapped Chen Hao out of his fantasy about scheming against a Nirvana Stage expert.
"L-Leader? What is it?"
Chen Hao asked cautiously.
Xu Mo gave him a sidelong glance. "From now on, you’re forbidden from taking any action. Stay in the association. The organization will pay you 8,000 points monthly."
Chen Hao’s eyes lit up—this was great! He could get paid without lifting a finger!
Still, he couldn’t shake his irritation.
"Little Xu... I appreciate the free paycheck, but your tone... I don’t like it."
Clearly, Chen Hao was a ticking time bomb, and Xu Mo was terrified he’d recklessly provoke the Nirvana Stage expert.
......
Even Jiang Che couldn’t have predicted that a mere special effect would cause such an uproar.
"Shen Yu, why is it so hard to win your heart?"
Jiang Che went to see the young girl again.
A man’s pride refused to accept defeat!
He had already claimed Shen Yu’s body, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t capture her heart. This frustrated Jiang Che, who prided himself as a love guru, to no end.
Stir-frying "Little Yu" this dish... no matter how much he tried, it just wouldn’t cook through. Infuriating!
"I don’t know. Jiang Che, can you tell me the direction for proving Goldbach’s Conjecture? Just point me the way... I’ll handle the rest."
Jiang Che: "..."
I’m talking about love, and you’re talking about math?
Screw that!
"How about this, darling? Give me a baby. If you get pregnant... maybe you’ll fall for me?"
Jiang Che’s damnable competitive spirit!
To make Shen Yu love him, he was willing to go all out. If even pregnancy didn’t shake her composure... he’d admit defeat!
As a legendary Anime Quantum, getting her pregnant wouldn’t be difficult.
"A... a baby?"
For the first time, Shen Yu’s focus wavered.
