Boom!
After Doctor Ya finished saying, "Your predecessors have died by the millions," Qin Luo and Su Muwan stood frozen in silence.
However, the doctor herself didn’t notice anything unusual. On the contrary, seeing their silence, she assumed they were listening intently. Feeling reassured, she continued, "This world is a fusion of multiple realities, as you already know."
"What I’m about to tell you is that this world has a designation—it’s called [10086]."
"And it’s not the only one of its kind."
"Every world should, in theory, have a fragment of the Heavenly Will like me, along with a designated 'Janitor.'"
"Their duty is to contain the Chosen Ones—though the methods vary from person to person."
"Each Janitor gains a unique ability, but all abilities fall under one of three categories:"
"1. Conceptual System. For example, if the concept is 'river,' then the Milky Way is also a river."
"2. Rule System. Even if you kill me, by the rules, you’ll suffer the same damage in return."
"3. Causality System. Say there’s a wild protagonist who’s destined to be beaten by you in the Milky Way in three days—no matter what happens, that event will occur."
"To better contain the protagonists, every Janitor is granted one of these three abilities."
"Each category also has high, mid, and low-tier variations."
"But... even with these powers, tens of thousands of Janitors have died."
At this point, Doctor Ya’s expression turned grave. "This is intel gathered from countless versions of [me] across the multiverse."
"An entity is using worlds as testing grounds, artificially breeding [Abominations], using the Chosen Ones as incubators."
"It uses the Final Antagonist as a catalyst and the Janitors as the final nutrient source."
"It hunts down all three—Chosen Ones, Janitors, and Final Antagonists—in one sweep."
"Completely cutting off the Heavenly Will’s chance to recover."
"Once these three are eradicated, the world rots into a massive, pulsating mass of Abominations, spawning more horrors and corrupting other worlds."
"And this entity..."
"Is called..."
"[The Bone Shepherd]."
"Or alternatively—the World Observer..."
Doctor Ya had weighed her words carefully.
The Heavenly Will had gone mad for unknown reasons, and as a fragment of it, her duty was to restore balance.
She knew she wasn’t the only one tasked with this. Others like her existed, each with their own methods.
But for her...
The Destiny Mental Hospital was her only path to mending the Heavenly Will.
And right now, the only one who could help her was Qin Luo—the Janitor chosen long ago by the [Heavenly Will].
He was also an incarnation of the Heavenly Will, connected to her, though she didn’t understand his "System."
In simpler terms, the System operated on a different framework than her.
Her role was singular: assist the Janitor, contain all Chosen Ones, and ultimately restore the Heavenly Will.
She believed the System’s purpose was the same.
From the moment Qin Luo first delivered Xiao Tian to the hospital, she’d had an inkling.
On the surface, it seemed like he was just provoking these Chosen Ones, but...
His approach was unlike any other Janitor’s. Instead of following their scripts, he antagonized them outright and shipped them straight to the asylum.
At first, she found this Janitor... intriguing.
Then...
Two more protagonists arrived.
This time, she decided to place a bet on him.
Then another.
And another.
And yet another.
As the protagonists kept pouring in, Doctor Ya began to wonder—
What if a Janitor didn’t have to follow the protagonists’ predestined paths before containing them?
With this thought in mind...
She finally made up her mind to go all-in on Qin Luo.
Of course, this was also because she had him figured out. She knew his mentality—and that of the ultimate antagonist—was unshakable.
That’s why she chose to reveal everything now.
Just look at them.
One was a Janitor who’d captured dozens of protagonists in less than half a year—an efficiency unheard of.
The other was supposed to be an ordinary urban antagonist in the original world template, yet here he was, somehow morphing into the final boss of a high-martial world.
These two...
In terms of talent, or sheer resilience...
Were absolutely—
Splat.
Before she could finish, a hand clapped onto Doctor Ya’s head.
Doctor Ya: "?"
Silence. The kind that made the air itself feel awkward.
At least the two of them couldn’t hold it in anymore.
"Hey, hey, hey—"
Qin Luo grabbed Doctor Ya’s head and spun it 360 degrees like a top.
While shaking her violently, he yelled loudly, "Explain yourself clearly, you dark-eyed hag! What do you mean by 'street sweepers like you have died by the thousands, if not tens of thousands'?"
"Do I look like someone who jokes around?"
"And what the hell is all this nonsense afterward? What's this about 'World 10086'? 'The Bone Shepherd'? 'Abominations'?"
"Don't just dump a bunch of random lore like you're padding the word count right into the main story!"
"Do you even realize how much this ruins the reader experience?!"
On her end, Su Muwan also grabbed Doctor Ya by the collar, shaking her back and forth while shouting, "Old hag! What kind of insane nonsense are you spouting?!"
"You're cursing me, aren’t you? You’re definitely cursing me, right?"
"Don’t think I won’t shut down this damn mental hospital of yours, you bastard!"
"And what’s this about 'Concept-type,' 'Rule-type,' 'Causality-type,' and even 'Big Villain-type' all being no match for that so-called 'Observer'?!"
"Why are you spewing all this irrelevant crap?!"
Doctor Ya, dizzy from the shaking, stammered, "W-wait... This is the truth of this world..."
"Once you break through your limits... you’ll ascend to a higher-level world..."
"Where you’ll gain even more explosive abilities..."
Qin Luo and Su Muwan had already stopped caring.
They thought that after containing this world’s protagonist and dealing with some minor behind-the-scenes boss in the sky, they could finally live a carefree life.
But now they’re being told—
The final boss is some ridiculously overpowered monstrosity who can casually crush planets?
And not only that, they aren’t even qualified to face Him yet—they have to level up, ascend, and get stronger first?
What’s worse, this is just like fighting a T0 Chosen One—the worst part is the endless escalation!
What if, after finally beating that big boss, He just smirks and says—"Actually, there’s someone above me"?
Wouldn’t that just make you want to pass out from rage?!
Is there no end to this?!
The more they thought about it, the angrier they got.
SMACK!!
"Ugh—"
Qin Luo backhanded Doctor Ya across the face. Watching her freeze in shock while clutching her cheek, he snarled, "You turned people into street sweepers out of nowhere."
"Dumped these absurd missions on us without warning."
"And then had the nerve to say we shouldn’t have relationships?!"
"Is this how you so-called 'Heavenly Dao' enjoy playing with people’s fates?!"
Doctor Ya held her face, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity from that slap.
But there was no time to dwell on it. Stiffly, she muttered, "N-no, that’s not it... It was arranged by my true form..."
SMACK!
"Ghk!"
"Shut up! No more explanations!"
Qin Luo cut her off. "Your true form? Aren’t you just an avatar of the 'Heavenly Dao’s Will'? That damn Dao’s personality must be part of you too!"
"Damn it, if I ever meet the real Heavenly Dao, I’ll slap the hell out of it and toss that bastard into a mental hospital too!"
"B-but—"
SMACK!
"Urk—!"
Su Muwan interrupted with a slap of her own.
She shoved forward, gripping Doctor Ya’s collar, and glared at her furiously. "What kind of joke is this, you dead-faced old hag?!"
"Do you have any idea how much effort I put into being lovey-dovey with Qin Luo?!"
"Y-you’re in a no-male-lead story..."
SMACK!
"Eep!"
"What’s wrong with no male lead?! Stop cursing people with singledom!"
"And another thing! Useless as you seem, you’re still a Heavenly Dao fragment!"
"I’ve read enough books to know—beings like you always have hidden treasures!"
"All you need to do now is shut up and obediently hand over the cheats! Surely even you can manage that much, right?!"
"Hey! I’m talking to you!"
"Don’t tell me a Heavenly Dao fragment can’t even do something this simple!"
"That’s... That’s way too unreasonable... And procedurally, it shouldn’t work this way... You’re supposed to make some progress first... Only then can I..."
SMACK—!
"Gah—!"
Before she could finish—
Qin Luo grabbed her by the jaw and snapped, "Shut it! How dare a mere Heavenly Dao fragment disobey my young mistress?!"
"Don’t think she won’t blacklist you from the entire Heavenly Dao circle with just one word! Now cough up those cheats!!"
"Uh... Let’s just skip that last part..."
"Young Mistress, I get it. This Doctor Ya’s been acting all mysterious since she first showed up. I’ve had enough of her."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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)
