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.

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
