Deep in the South Sea.
Jiang Che dove into the abyss with Mo Lianxing in tow.
At depths of several thousand meters, the water pressure was terrifyingly oppressive—even a Heaven-Shattering Realm martial artist would struggle to survive here.
But Jiang Che had cheats!
A 1000-point Water-Repelling Pearl, anyone?
"Damn, this is insane. How the hell have sea creatures evolved this much in such a short time since the gates opened?"
Jiang Che's lips twitched.
Back when Jiang Ruoxu awakened the forbidden altar, if Jiang Che hadn't used a Spirit-Gathering Array to seal it, Dragon Country might have ended up just like this place—every living thing spiraling into frenzied evolution.
"ROAR—"
As Jiang Che pondered, an enormous shadow, mountainous in scale, loomed behind him.
A monstrous shark, at least 40 meters long, its gaping maw wide enough to swallow a truck whole.
Jiang Che glanced sideways, unleashing a fraction of his power—the aura of the Divine Transformation Realm surged forth, an overwhelming pressure instantly saturating the water.
"???"
The mutated shark's eyes flickered with human-like terror, screeching to a halt before Jiang Che.
Instantly docile as a lamb!
Mo Lianxing, nestled in Jiang Che's soul-nurturing ring, was long past surprise. She couldn’t even gauge Jiang Che’s true strength anymore.
To her senses, he seemed like a Heaven-Shattering Realm cultivator, yet he could erupt with Divine Transformation-level pressure—sometimes even flaring with Nirvana Realm power!
Of course, she didn’t believe Jiang Che’s real strength had reached Nirvana. Probably just another trump card from his mysterious master.
[Holy—holy shit! Why does this upright ape radiate such terrifying energy?!]
[I’m done for! Shark Lord’s gonna bite it today!]
[No, I gotta report back—a human this strong has appeared among their kind…]
Thanks to his Divine Hearing, Jiang Che instantly caught the shark’s inner monologue.
"Huh? Report back?"
To whom?
Now Jiang Che was intrigued.
"Hey, you. Come here. I know you understand me."
The shark: "!!!"
He’d been playing the part of a regular great white so well—how’d this guy see through it?!
[Oh no! This human’s so powerful… is he here to mess with our Dragon Palace?]
Dragon Palace? What the hell was that?
Jiang Che frowned. The speed of spiritual revival was absurd.
He’d only slacked off for a week, yet it felt like he’d missed a century.
"When was this Dragon Palace established?!"
Jiang Che pressed, though he hardly expected a speechless shark to answer.
His words only deepened the shark’s terror.
[Just as I thought! He’s here for the Dragon Palace…]
Jiang Che sighed. This guy had brains, but not enough.
He acted decisively—forcibly extracting memories through soul-searching!
The shark’s massive body convulsed wildly before going limp, foam bubbling from its jaws—clearly a goner.
"So that’s it."
Not long ago, a few interlopers emerged from an undersea altar, arriving from the Nine Heavens. Organized and purposeful, they took over the Rainbow Altar and established this so-called Dragon Palace.
With spiritual revival underway, many marine creatures had evolved intelligence and flocked to join.
[Dragon Palace?]
At that moment, Mo Lianxing materialized from Jiang Che’s ring. Clad in a sheer white gown, nine slender fox tails swayed behind her, their faint crimson hue accentuating her allure.
Yes—this was Mo Lianxing’s outfit of the day!
She’d figured out Jiang Che’s tastes: first, a lolicon streak (though her mature face ruled out cosplaying a loli), but secondly, a furry fascination. Jiang Che adored her kitsune guise, so… well, heh.
"Hm? You know about the Dragon Palace, love?" Jiang Che arched a brow.
Mo Lianxing nodded.
"The Southern Nether Heaven within the Nine Heavens is entirely engulfed by vast oceans. The Dragon Palace ranks among the top thirty powers there—extremely formidable. But ‘Dragon Palace’ is a broad term. This might just be a coincidence… not necessarily the one from the Nine Heavens."
Jiang Che chuckled.
Based on the shark’s memories, these cross-dimensional intruders were no rogue cultivators.
They’d even rallied sea creatures to build a massive underwater palace, spouting nonsense about welcoming a deity’s arrival.
How could Jiang Che resist checking it out?
Might as well wipe out this Dragon Palace while he was at it.
No way was he letting some overpowered faction dominate Earth’s oceans!
"Husband, it’s plausible. Earth’s deep seas might genuinely connect to the Southern Nether Heaven."
Mo Lianxing looped her arm through Jiang Che’s as they strolled through the abyss, an oddly mesmerizing sight.
"The Rainbow Altar’s in the ruins of Atlantis. So Atlantis was real? I thought that was just movie nonsense!"
Jiang Che muttered to himself.
Earth’s oceans had already flipped upside-down—Atlantis was real now? A few more weeks, and sea creatures might’ve started invading land.
Passing through layers of seabed silt, they entered what seemed like another world.
The pitch-black depths suddenly brightened.
Beneath the ocean floor—a hidden realm!
Countless never-before-seen marine creatures darted about, even mermaids weaving among them.
Actual mermaids. Upper bodies of stunning women, lower halves massive fishtails. Rows of them clad only in bikinis, their headlights nearly blinding Jiang Che.
"Hey! Eyes up here. My figure’s better than these fish, isn’t it?"
Mo Lianxing inexplicably bristled.
"Love, don’t joke. I know your body inside out. At best, a generous D-cup. These mermaids? Probably juiced up to E—no, F-cups. I—holy shit!"
Mid-rant, Jiang Che glanced at Mo Lianxing and froze.
Somehow, her proportions had… inflated. Ridiculously so.
"Well?" Mo Lianxing waggled her brows.
Though a spirit, she’d mastered the ‘Thousand Transformations’ divine skill.
"Ahem, that’s pure artificial enhancement. These mermaids are all-natural. No comparison!"
Mo Lianxing: "..."
Oh, so synthetic means you won’t touch it, huh? Typical ungrateful bastard.
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
