Nine Heavens Profound Domain, Thunderbolt Hall

On the lightning-wrapped throne, the Thunder Heavenly Lord, clad in a violet lightning robe, tapped his fingers on the armrest, arcs of electricity dancing at his brow.

It was clear that he had been fuming with rage these past few days.

And indeed, he was.

The vile creatures had suddenly rampaged into his territory, and after barely managing to cleanse them, he took stock of the damage.

Three rivers of fortune had been completely devoured.

Damn it!!

Damn it all!!

It was all because of those fools like Xuan Xingzi!

If they hadn’t recklessly descended to the lower realm, such a calamity would never have occurred!

And then there was that newly born sacred domain...

With such abundant fortune, leaving such a blessed land to them was nothing short of a waste!

"Where is the envoy I sent? Why hasn’t he returned yet?"

The Thunder Heavenly Lord’s tone was laced with impatience as he spoke.

The elder kneeling below trembled. "My lord, the envoy briefly opened the Sacred Domain Gate in the Netherfrost Sacred Domain, but soon after, all traces of him vanished."

"Most likely... he’s already dead."

Dead?!

At this, the Thunder Heavenly Lord’s eyes instantly flooded with overwhelming killing intent.

That envoy had been sent by him, and though his intentions had been malicious from the start—

Still!

Killing his envoy meant spitting in his face!

Fine, fine!

"Have you found out the name of that domain’s ruler?"

"My lord, she is called... Su Muwan. According to Xuan Xingzi, she’s a wicked woman."

"A wicked woman?"

"Yes, shrouded in malevolence, she even collaborated with the vile creatures to invade the Great Thousand Worlds."

"Beside her is another, rumored to be her kept consort."

"Pathetic!"

The Thunder Heavenly Lord sneered, thunderous dragons writhing in his palm. "Mere ants from the lower realm!"

"They are utterly unworthy of occupying the Sea of Golden Fortune."

"Order the Thunderbolt Army to prepare. Once I refine this final tribulation lightning and break through to the Sovereign Realm, we will crush that insignificant domain beneath our feet!"

"As you command!"

Netherghost Domain.

Yellowspring Palace.

The Ghost Nether King crushed the soul pearl in his hand, his brow furrowed. "Dead..."

Who would’ve thought the ruler of the Netherfrost Sacred Domain had such skill?

She had actually managed to refine both his envoy and his soul!

At that moment—

Whoosh!

Twelve shadows of black mist materialized in the hall.

They were the strongest warriors of the Ghost Domain!

One stepped forward and spoke respectfully, "My lord, we have confirmed it. The ruler of the Netherfrost Sacred Domain is named Su Muwan. By her side is a consort who wields a strange banner capable of refining souls and controlling evil spirits."

"Oh?"

The Ghost Nether King let out a shrill laugh. "Perfect! I’ve been in need of a vessel capable of containing a hundred thousand vengeful ghosts. When I descend in person, I shall refine that brat into my puppet!"

"As you command!"

Blazing Flame Domain.

Inferno Pavilion.

At the center of a boiling lava altar, the Flame Phoenix Empress stood barefoot atop flames, her phoenix-feather dress swirling with molten fire.

Her eyes were filled with worry as she gazed at the desolate sacred domain before her.

What to do...

The invasion of the vile creatures had further depleted their already scarce fortune.

During the last Karmic War, the Blazing Flame Domain had suffered a crushing defeat, leaving their reserves completely drained.

This time, though they had gathered a new batch of warriors, she still couldn’t shake her unease.

If history repeated itself, everyone in the Blazing Flame Domain would vanish from the Great Thousand Worlds!

The envoy she had sent to the Netherfrost Sacred Domain had yet to return—likely already dead.

No...

For the sake of the domain.

She abruptly turned, her voice icy. "Summon the Eight Inferno Generals! Prepare for the Sacred Domain War!"

As a newly born sacred domain, the Netherfrost Sacred Domain’s strength and reserves were undoubtedly inferior to theirs.

So...

For the survival of the Blazing Flame Domain, they would have to annihilate the first new sacred domain to emerge in ten thousand years.

.....

.....

Southwest corner of the Netherfrost Sacred Domain.

Qin Luo tilted his head back, staring at the hundred-story glacial tower before him.

After a moment, he turned to Ouyang Xuan and the others standing beside him. "So... this is the Martial Alliance Tower after the fortune restructuring?"

"Seems like it."

Ouyang Xuan and the other Transcendents craned their necks to look at the tower. "But there’s one problem, Luo."

"What?"

He pointed at the front of the building. "No entrance."

"......"

Qin Luo glanced at the smooth surface. So this place was just a shell?

Still...

He cleared his throat. "Maybe everyone here just flies up. Never mind that for now."

"Are all the system holders here?"

He scanned the crowd.

Ouyang Xuan, Ye Zhidie, Wang Yun, Wang Xiaohua, Li Mingyuan, Xiao Tian, Wang Yong, Jiang Xueqi, Doctor Ya... Huh, all familiar faces.

Alongside them were many other system holders with little combat ability.

Zixuan was also among them, now embodying the gloomy girl aesthetic.

Su Muwan stood nearby, blinking curiously.

What happened to this Fate System holder?

Dark circles under her eyes, yawning nonstop.

She looked like she’d been carved from the same mold as the lunatic Doctor Ya... Wait—

Su Muwan froze mid-thought.

Her head snapped toward the asylum’s resident nutcases.

Pointing at the exhausted Doctor Ya, her pupils shook as she shrieked, "What the—?!"

"How did you guys get here?!"

"When did you arrive?!"

Su Muwan was floored.

Seriously, weren’t you all supposed to be in the asylum?

How did you end up ascending too?!

She whirled toward Qin Luo. "Hey, hey, Qin Luo! This is obviously dangerous! The crazies are out of their cages!"

Qin Luo nodded calmly. "Ah, so Doctor Ya and the others made it too."

"Hey... why are you so chill about this..."

Su Muwan grumbled.

Doctor Ya, as usual, rubbed her cheeks while yawning. "Hmm... it’s like I blinked and suddenly ascended to a new world."

She glanced at Qin Luo and sighed. "To think we really ascended. You two really are a special pair."

She rubbed her cheeks again.

Pat-pat.

Xiao Tian shuffled over to Qin Luo, grinning. "Dir—Director!"

He pulled a lollipop from his mouth. "Want some?"

Whack!

"Eat your own damn candy! Where’d you even pull that from?!"

Su Muwan smacked the lollipop out of his hand.

"Waaahhh!!! My—my lollipop!!"

"Longlong!"

"Su! You—you meanie!"

Jiang Xueqi also wailed, "You big bully! Waaahhh!!! You ruined the candy Longlong gave to Director!"

"Longlong, I’m so disappointed in you too!"

"That candy was mine as well!"

"D-don’t scold me, Xueqi... I’ll just pick it up and eat it..."

Wang Yong, teetering on high heels, rushed over to console them. "Now, now, don’t cry, everyone. Miss Su didn’t mean it."

"Longlong, don’t eat off the ground. It’s dirty."

"Senior Brother, don’t bother comforting these two. They’re just nuts!!"

Feng Yueke tugged Wang Yong backward, pulling him along while beaming at Qin Luo and Su Muwan. "Long time no see, Qin... Master Qin, Miss Su."

Hehe! Thanks to Master Qin and Miss Su, she could now stay with her senior brother forever!

Shangguan Chuxue walked over wearing a gardener's hat. She glanced at Qin Luo and chuckled, "Interesting. You don’t seem to raise many gu insects—you don’t have that wormy stench on you."

"Hey, hey, hey! Can you all back off from our Qin Luo a little?"

Su Muwan shielded Qin Luo like a protective mother hen. She turned her head and glared at him indignantly.

Seriously?

Are you kidding me?

Others were one thing, but why were these former lunatics still so hung up on him?!

"Eek!"

A shriek came from nearby.

"Lianlian... my Lianlian... you came to see me!"

Su Muwan turned to look.

Su Bailian was being chased by Song Ming, whose eyes were glazed over with obsession.

"Help! I swear I didn’t mean to take your family’s assets!!"

Qin Luo thought he had grown used to this chaos, but clearly, it still gave him a headache.

Even if they hadn’t shown up, though, he would have sought them out himself.

Because...

"Enough, enough."

Qin Luo pulled out the Seal of Destiny and called out to the rowdy crowd, "Gather around, everyone. One at a time."

"What for?"

"To give you all... an extra identity."
