"Hmph! A mere newborn Holy Domain the size of a pebble!"
"Even its Domain Lord is nothing but a puny Supreme Realm ant who ascended from a minor world!"
"What is there to fear?!"
At the core of the Blazing Flame Domain, within the Scorching Heaven Pavilion.
The eight Flame Generals of the Blazing Flame Domain knelt in unison at the base of the grand hall.
Chiyan, the leading general, raised his head, his eyes gleaming with ferocity. "Domain Lord, this subordinate is willing to lead our forces into battle, raze the Frostbound Holy Domain to the ground, and seize its entire River of Fortune to present to you!"
High upon her throne of flames sat the Flame Phoenix Empress.
"Oh?"
The Flame Phoenix Empress arched a delicate brow, her gaze settling on Chiyan as a cold smirk curled her lips. "Chiyan, you seem quite confident."
"However, are you aware that although Su Muwan, the Domain Lord of the Frostbound Holy Domain, is merely at the Supreme Realm, rumors say she keeps a consort by her side—one who wields an eerie banner capable of refining souls and controlling malevolent spirits?"
"Do you have a solution for that?"
Chiyan scoffed, unimpressed. "Domain Lord, those are nothing but cheap tricks from a minor world! What use could they possibly have in the vast cosmos?!"
"Under this subordinate’s scorching flames, all malevolence will turn to ash!"
"Besides, Su Muwan and that consort of hers are mere Supreme Realm cultivators. Even if they have some tricks up their sleeves, how could they possibly stand against us, the peerless experts of the Unfathomable Realm?"
The Flame Phoenix Empress nodded slightly, a glint of approval flashing in her eyes. "Well said, Chiyan. You make a fair point."
"In that case..."
Her gaze swept across the assembled warriors as her aura surged, her voice ringing with authority. "Among the five great realms, our Eastern Florescence Celestial Realm is the weakest. Now that a new Holy Domain has emerged, our Blazing Flame Domain must fight to survive in this vast cosmos!"
"Even if it means countless sacrifices—this war must be waged!"
Indeed, devouring other Holy Domains to strengthen themselves and withstand the annihilation of the cosmic wars—this was the law of survival for all of them.
Her eyes hardened as she raised a hand and commanded, "Chiyan! By my decree, you shall lead the Eight Flame Divisions and march upon the Frostbound Holy Domain at once to initiate the Holy Domain War!"
"You must annihilate them completely, seize their fortune, and strengthen our Blazing Flame Domain!"
"As you command, Domain Lord!"
Excitement flickered in Chiyan’s eyes as he clasped his fists in acknowledgment. "This subordinate will not fail your expectations. The Frostbound Holy Domain shall be reduced to cinders!"
The Flame Phoenix Empress waved her hand, dismissing him.
Chiyan bowed deeply before turning on his heel and striding out, the eight Flame Generals following closely behind.
Once they had departed, the Flame Phoenix Empress leaned back into her throne, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "Frostbound Holy Domain… my apologies. Such is the iron law of the vast cosmos."
"The weak are destined to be devoured."
Though if they surrendered willingly and relinquished their Holy Domain’s resources, she might spare their lives.
......
......
The next morning.
Frostbound Holy Domain.
Within the palace bedchambers.
Wah wah wah!!
The morning sunlight filtered through the crystalline windows, casting a soft glow over Su Muwan’s face as she lay in bed.
She rolled over groggily, mumbling into her pillow, "So noisy… who’s making such a racket this early…?"
Her long hair sprawled messily across the pillow, her fair cheeks still flushed with sleep.
Her eyes were half-lidded, clearly not fully awake yet.
"Mmm… Qin Luo…"
Instinctively, she reached out beside her—only to grasp empty air.
Frowning, she slowly opened her eyes and realized Qin Luo was no longer in bed.
"This guy… where did he run off to now…?"
Grumbling, she sat up lazily, rubbing her eyes.
Just then, her gaze landed on a floating jade slip resting on the bedside table.
The slip emitted a faint glow, inscribed with bold characters:
[Declaration of Holy Domain War]
"Huh?"
Su Muwan blinked, then picked up the jade slip to examine it closely.
Her drowsiness faded as her brows knitted slightly.
"Holy Domain War? Declaration?"
She murmured the words, recalling something the envoys had mentioned before.
Something about Holy Domains waging war to seize resources from one another.
"Why is this thing… here?"
She tightened her grip on the slip, puzzled.
Had they been declared war upon?
Huh?
So suddenly?
And here she was, hoping for a few more peaceful days.
Where was Qin Luo? Had he gone off to deal with this already?
Just then—
Click.
The door swung open as Qin Luo strolled in, smiling.
With a flick of his fingers, a set of fresh clothes and breakfast floated toward Su Muwan.
"You’re awake, Young Mistress," he said cheerfully. "Time to wash up and eat."
Su Muwan: ?
She stared at his nonchalant expression, a question mark practically forming over her head.
She pointed at the jade slip. "This is a declaration of war, right?"
"Yep."
"We’ve been declared war upon?"
"Mhm."
"And this… is breakfast?"
"Yup, your favorite Bling-Bling Cream Puffs are here."
"Hey hey hey, forget about that weird name for a second—I just want to ask…"
Su Muwan covered her face with her hands. "Why are you so calm when something this serious is happening?!"
Qin Luo blinked. "Hm? Should I be panicking? But skipping breakfast is bad for your stomach, Young Mistress. That’d be worse."
"You… ugh, never mind. It’s not like it’s a big deal anyway."
Su Muwan opened her mouth. "Ah~ Help me, Qin Luo."
"Of course, Young Mistress."
......
......
In stark contrast to the relaxed atmosphere around Qin Luo and Su Muwan—
Outside.
The skies above the Frostbound Holy Domain’s barrier were swarming with figures.
Once a Holy Domain War was declared, the two domains would merge, forming a battlefield between them.
Typically, Holy Domains would station combatants along their borders to obstruct invaders, forcing them to fight their way from the outskirts to the main palace.
This was a war meant to drag on for a long time.
However…
Qin Luo and Su Muwan were newcomers.
Which meant their borders were completely unmanned.
As a result, the forces of the Blazing Flame Domain had charged straight into the heart of the Holy Domain without resistance.
At first, they suspected a trap.
But upon arriving, they realized—
This wasn’t a trap.
The newborn Domain Lord was simply surrendering without a fight.
Just look—they hadn’t even shown their faces yet! Clearly, they intended to yield immediately!
Chiyan hovered high above the Frostbound Holy Domain’s main palace, flanked by the Eight Flame Divisions and thousands of elite Blazing Flame cultivators.
"Comrades!"
He raised his flaming spear, his voice booming. "This campaign against the Frostbound Holy Domain is for the glory of our Blazing Flame Domain!"
"That newborn Holy Domain is nothing! Its Domain Lord is a mere ant who crawled up from a minor world! With a single strike, we shall annihilate them completely! Seize their fortune and strengthen our domain!"
"Seize their fortune! Strengthen our domain!"
Thousands of fire cultivators roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and earth. Flames surged around them as if they could already see the Netherfrost Holy Domain reduced to ashes beneath their feet.
Chiyan nodded in satisfaction, then cast a mocking glance at the pitiful ants slowly gathering at the core of the Netherfrost Holy Domain.
How laughable.
What’s the use of assembling now?
We have thousands of elites here, and eight Supreme Realm experts among us!
What hope do you have of fighting back?!
At that moment,
Chiyan spotted a lone figure darting out from the main hall of the Holy Domain.
He drew his spear and pointed it arrogantly at the figure, demanding, "Where is your Domain Lord?"
"Does she intend to fight, or will she surrender and come out to meet me—along with that pretty boy of hers?"
"Uh..."
Hearing this,
Ouyang Xuan, who had just gone to consult Qin Luo, blinked in surprise.
Then he replied, "Our Master Qin says..."
"Says what?"
"That the Domain Lord is still having breakfast and asks you to wait a little longer."
The entire Blazing Flame Domain force collectively overheated: ?
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.
