Jiang Che unleashed his power!
Now a First Revolution Transcendent Realm expert, by utilizing his divine skill special effects, he could manifest the might of a Creation Realm powerhouse.
Creation Realm... even in the Nine Heavens, such figures were sect masters of sacred lands!
Only behemoths like the Jiang Family of the Nine Heavens could boast of having Quasi-Emperors as common as dogs among their ranks.
Jiang Che used his special effects to conjure a terrifying heavenly tribulation!
Though he had never witnessed such rare tribulations, he could fabricate them!
He had read enough fantasy novels to know that for tribulation scenes, one simply had to pile on the special effects to the extreme.
After all, special effects cost nothing, and these Emperor-level ancestors couldn’t descend into the Mortal Realm... so they’d never discern the authenticity of the tribulation.
[Ding! Host successfully pulled off an epic display of coolness. Host rewarded with 1 million points.]
[Ding! Host’s current system points: 300 million.]
Enough!
As expected, nothing beats exploiting one’s own ancestors—the payout rate is just too high!
"Buy it. Purchase the ‘Immortal Martial Mark’ now."
Originally, Jiang Che had planned to save up 500 million points for the Chaos Immortal Body, but with so many new "workers" contributing, 500 million would be pocket change!
[Ding! Host successfully spent 300 million points to purchase ‘Immortal Mark.’ Proceed with fusion?]
...
The heavenly tribulation had reached its climax, with calamities so terrifying even seasoned Emperor Jiang Hong couldn’t help but marvel.
He even summoned every available ancestor from the Jiang Family, digging out a few who had been lying in their coffins.
By now, Jiang Che looked utterly "wretched," his initial composure gone, his body charred black by the lightning strikes.
But this only made the act more convincing!
His back turned to the masses, his figure seemed on the verge of collapsing under the tribulation’s weight.
Why face away? First, it amplified the coolness factor.
Second, with coolness points flooding in, facing the crowd would’ve ruined the act—his manic grin would’ve shattered his carefully crafted image.
After charging for over ten minutes, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was ready!
With a devastating roar, it struck Jiang Che. Even though everyone knew this was an illusionary space, many fainted from sheer terror at the spectacle.
"Jiang Che!!!"
A heart-wrenching scream pierced the air as Yu Wan'er scrambled to her feet, her almond-shaped eyes swollen from crying, her face streaked with tears, looking utterly pitiful.
This was only the second time she had felt such overwhelming despair. The first was years ago... when her mother, Yu Weiwei, was urgently hospitalized with kidney failure, and the doctors handed her a critical condition notice.
Back then, as a twelve- or thirteen-year-old, she had confronted the horror of death for the first time.
Now, Jiang Che was about to be struck dead by the heavenly tribulation!
"No!!! Don’t die! Please don’t die!"
The petite girl sobbed uncontrollably, memories flashing through her mind.
Though she often cursed Jiang Che, calling him a stinking bastard, a worthless fool, even wishing lightning would strike him dead...
She had long since realized the truth in her heart.
She had already... fallen in love with Jiang Che!
Not just liking him—this was dependence, this was love!
And now, she was about to lose him.
[Ding! Host successfully scammed Yu Wan'er, gaining 1 million Scam Points.]
Damn, Wan'er really delivers the big payouts!
Of course, Jiang Che didn’t laugh. After all, he had genuinely deceived Yu Wan'er this time.
Not just her—he had scammed almost everyone. His other girls were also contributing generously to his Scam Points.
Lost in thought, Jiang Che slowly raised his head, gazing at the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder descending from the sky.
Well... scamming once or scamming twice, might as well milk it for more points.
The apocalyptic divine thunder tore through heaven and earth, its dragon-like roar annihilating everything in its path.
At this moment, Jiang Hong from the Nine Heavens could no longer stay idle.
Jiang Hong’s eyes blazed with fury as his Emperor’s might erupted, his high-tier Emperor Realm aura terrifying beyond measure, his dominion stretching across three hundred provinces.
With a flick of his finger, a blood-red decree materialized.
"Burn."
In the next instant, Jiang Hong’s vitality seemed to drain away.
His jet-black hair turned streaked with gray.
For someone who had lived a second life, sacrificing ten thousand years of lifespan meant losing a fifth of his remaining years, instantly aging from youth to middle age.
Jiang Hong narrowed his eyes, communing with the heavens, preparing to cross realms and communicate with the Mortal Realm’s Heavenly Dao.
As a veteran Emperor, his power was immense, and he quickly established contact.
But soon, he was dumbfounded.
"How is this possible? How could the Jiang Family of the Nine Heavens have no record of him? Are you joking with me?"
"Jiang Che even swore a Heavenly Dao oath never to betray the Jiang Family..."
"What? No one in the Mortal Realm is undergoing a Transcendent Tribulation? Then what the hell is Jiang Che doing right now?? Do you think this Emperor is blind?"
"I’m not some senile old fool! Get back here—I sacrificed ten thousand years of lifespan for this! Don’t make me break your damn rules and cross realms myself!"
Jiang Hong was utterly baffled!
To save Jiang Che, he had even humbled himself, pulling strings at great cost—only to achieve nothing?
[Ding! Host scammed Emperor Realm ancestor ‘Jiang Hong,’ setting a new record. Reward: 100 million Scam Points.]
Jiang Che: "???"
What the hell? How did I scam an Emperor-level ancestor this time?
This wasn’t my fault! Young Master Jiang was just innocently undergoing a tribulation—don’t come after me later.
......
As the final bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder struck, the dark storm clouds gradually dispersed.
Jiang Che’s figure vanished completely, his aura extinguished.
[Ding! Host successfully scammed Ye Mengyao, gaining 300,000 Scam Points.]
[Ding! Host successfully scammed Qin Qiaoqiao...]
The points were pouring in!
Though it felt a bit heartless, racking up tens of millions of points was undeniably satisfying.
Still, seeing his women weeping their hearts out tugged at Jiang Che’s conscience.
This so-called heavenly tribulation had been entirely staged by him. Everyone else—except Jiang Che—had been his unwitting targets.
Broadcasting his "tribulation" live, he harvested Coolness Points from billions of viewers.
Then, he squeezed Scam Points out of his own people.
Just as everyone believed Jiang Che had perished in the tribulation...
A figure slowly emerged from the dissipating dust.
Jiang Che staggered unsteadily, yet his steps were resolute.
"System, fuse the Immortal Mark!"
[Ding! Host fused ‘Immortal Mark,’ successfully condensing ‘True Immortal Martial Mark.’ Acquired random Great Dao Law: ‘Law of Space.’]
In an instant, Jiang Che’s aura transformed into something terrifying.
Immortal radiance shimmered around him, his entire being exuding the grace of a celestial descending to the mortal world.
Countless Dao rhythms infused his body.
The Transcendent Tribulation was fake.
Being struck half-dead by lightning was fake.
But the ‘Immortal Mark’ and ‘Law of Space’ he gained were very real!
This was the ultimate case of boarding the train first and buying the ticket later.
The moment Jiang Che's figure appeared, the entire room was stunned!
Especially in the Nine Heavens, Jiang Hong, who had been about to flip the table in rage, froze on the spot, the surging energy within him gradually dissipating.
Utterly bewildered!

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
