Central Imperial Heaven.
Endless mist and clouds swirl, pierced by an extremely towering mountain peak!
So high it gives the feeling of piercing through the very firmament.
The highest mountain in the Nine Heavens' Central Imperial Heaven, a terrifying peak whose true height is unknowable.
At the summit, there is only a very dilapidated Daoist temple. Before the temple stands half a tattered, rotten wooden gate, as if decayed over hundreds of millions of years.
Above the temple gate hangs a plaque, also wooden and full of holes, with the three characters 'Tian Ming Zhe' (Destiny's Chosen) written with vigorous, powerful strokes.
Inside the temple, there is only a young man dressed in grey Daoist robes. A faded, yellowish strip of ragged cloth is tied over his eyes, seemingly blinding him.
The young man sits cross-legged before an earthen pit. To his left rests a palm-sized tortoise shell, while in front of him is a bamboo tube containing two crickets, one stacked on top of the other...
"Hey, hey, hey, I told you to fight each other, what are you two doing stacked together? Mating?"
The young man uses a straw in his hand to separate the two crickets. "I asked that big oaf to catch me crickets, and he caught me a male and a female?"
Just as the young man was feeling vexed, a knocking sound came from outside the temple gate.
Five or six figures appeared at the door. "Great Immortal... we have a request," a middle-aged man with a longsword strapped to his back stepped forward, asking with utmost humility.
"Oh? You've come at just the right time. Go catch me two crickets," the young man stood up, brushing the dust from his clothes.
"Cri... crickets?"
......
Blue Star.
Jiang Che had just finished painting grand visions for the ancestral elders, and the next moment he was back home, indulging in shameless pleasures with the girls.
What invasion of otherworldly evil demons? Before the joys of family, it was all fleeting cloud.
After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Che had his left arm around Gu Lingfei and his right holding Doufen (Bean Powder).
But the expressions on Gu Lingfei and the others clearly carried worry.
After the mortal realm connected to the Nine Heavens network, everyone became extremely familiar with affairs in the Nine Heavens. The news of the impending invasion of the mortal realm by otherworldly evil demons had also reached their ears.
How could they not be anxious?
Especially Gu Lingfei, who had just conceived a new life in her womb, making the sense of unease in her heart even stronger.
"Jiang Che, are you confident?" Gu Lingfei grasped Jiang Che's hand with both of her slender hands.
"Of course. What... don't you believe your husband's words?" Jiang Che smiled, the corner of his lips curling up.
"The news of the evil spirit invasion has already spread from the Nine Heavens to Blue Star. Now everyone is in a state of panic, the situation is somewhat out of control..."
Although Blue Star had experienced several years of spiritual energy resurgence, with many people attaining considerable cultivation—there were even quite a few at the Divine Passage stage now—and things had been very stable under the foundation Jiang Che had established.
But now it was different. Everyone on Blue Star knew that evil spirits were about to invade en masse. Even though they had no direct experience of evil spirits, the descriptions of them from the Nine Heavens made them even more terrified.
It's like someone telling you the end of the world is coming, and it's one hundred percent certain. Who wouldn't be afraid?
"Jiang Che, we won't die, will we?" A small head suddenly popped up from beside Jiang Che's thigh.
Yu Wan'er's eyes held a trace of fear. This little loli who usually feared nothing felt terror in the face of this unknown crisis.
"It's fine. I've already sent someone to bring your mother to the Dragon Palace. With me here, it's fine," Jiang Che rubbed Yu Wan'er's little head.
He had long since taken measures to protect the families of the girls.
Of course, this so-called evil spirit invasion was also just a scheme.
The evil spirit invasion would absolutely accelerate the progress of the spiritual energy resurgence. Perhaps soon, the passage between the Nine Heavens and the mortal realm would rapidly open.
He planned to clean up his reputation a bit before entering the Nine Heavens, and by the way, take one last massive haul.
Since both are about resisting the invasion of otherworldly evil spirits, if that guy 500,000 years ago dared to call himself the Human Emperor, then after I achieve great deeds and fame, proclaiming myself the Heavenly Emperor shouldn't be a problem, right?
......
"Fuck! Can't hold on anymore! Really can't hold on! There's just too damn many of them! Are these evil spirits crazy???"
In the secret realm, Lin Mu's gigantic body was already covered with the corpses of evil spirits, countless black mists enveloping the two of them.
These evil spirit energies frantically tried to burrow into Lin Mu's body, attempting to corrupt his mind, but Lin Mu himself was already a half-evil spirit creature and couldn't be targeted by the enemy.
Chu Yuan was even protected by the subsystem Jiang Che bestowed, shielding his soul. This kid would also be a good enforcer in the future and needed focused cultivation.
"No, we have to block this rift opening. We absolutely cannot let a single one slip through! The strength of each of these bizarre evil spirits is extraordinary. Once they enter the mortal realm... I'm afraid casualties would be heavy,"
Chu Yuan said through gritted teeth. [Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully being hardheaded. Obtained 3 million points of Ironhead Value.]
[Ding! Host has slain XXX evil spirits. Obtained 500,000 points of Integration Points.]
Looking at the vast black mist around him, Chu Yuan felt a momentary daze. If it weren't for Young Master Jiang and his Ironhead Kid system, given his originally cowardly, survivalist personality, he'd probably be hiding somewhere by now.
But now... he finally felt he was truly alive!
The tear of the secret realm's abyssal black hole was being ripped wider and wider. Originally only allowing a few evil spirits through, it had now begun erupting like a gusher!
Evil spirits at the Martial God stage were even beginning to attempt crossing over!
The saying 'enough ants can kill an elephant' was no joke, even though they were now at the peak of the Martial God stage.
......
As Jiang Che expected, the speed of the spiritual energy resurgence accelerated greatly.
And the original Blue Star had long since changed beyond recognition, its area expanding nearly a thousandfold. It no longer resembled a planet, but rather, like the Nine Heavens... had formed numerous large and small states and territories.
This was Blue Star's original form, or rather... its embryonic form!
Central Imperial Heaven, Eastern Azure Heaven, Northeastern Cyan Heaven, Northern Mysterious Heaven, Northwestern Dark Heaven, Western Heaven, Vermilion Heaven, Southern Abyssal Heaven, Blazing Sun Heaven... Blue Star was originally the Tenth Heaven!
Territorial expansion was an utterly terrifying event. All sorts of massive earthquakes occurred every moment, far more terrifying than magnitude 10 quakes. Seawaters surged and reversed, the heavens collapsed and the earth split...
If not for the stable order Jiang Che maintained, where everyone cultivated immortality and could ride swords to evade disasters facing such terrifying natural calamities, the land would likely have long been strewn with corpses.
The price of Blue Star's expansion was... the weakening of the dimensional barriers.
Just like a balloon, the bigger you blow it... the easier it pops!
Blue Star at this moment was that balloon, and outside the balloon, an army of otherworldly evil spirits was watching covetously.
"Brother, don't worry. I, your war correspondent, will definitely charge to the front lines with my live-streaming gear!"
Jiang Che called his little brother Jiang Ruoxu over.
This kid's live-streaming show-off system was key. If no one was watching, who would know about my heroic efforts resisting the evil spirit army, standing alone against the ages?
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!"
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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?!
