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.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
