First came the Eastern Celestial Realm, then the Western Nether Realm, followed by the Northern Profound Frost Realm, then the Southern Blazing Fire Realm, and finally...
It's your turn, the Central Sacred Realm.
Get ready and wait for this young lady's arrival!
As the live broadcast cut off,
the entire vast universe erupted in chaos.
Unbelievable! An outrage to both gods and mortals!
At this point, it wasn’t just the Eastern Celestial Realm—every other realm was trembling with fury.
Arrogant! Insolent!
This newly ascended Domain Lord, Su Muwan, clearly had no regard for them!
How dare she act so high and mighty, looking down on everyone!
Linglong Heavenly Domain.
Linglong narrowed her eyes, replaying the scenes from the earlier broadcast in her mind.
Even though it was already deep into the night, she was too furious to sleep.
A mere upstart from a tiny domain,
how dare she act so brazen?
If it weren’t for the fact that your Netherfrost Sacred Domain might hold clues to Xu Tun’s whereabouts, this empress would have already launched a Sacred Domain War and crushed you to dust!
With a cold expression, Linglong spoke, "Have you found Xu Tun yet?"
Hearing this,
the silver-robed elder beside her immediately bowed, replying nervously, "Your Majesty, not yet."
Linglong frowned, her gaze sharpening with killing intent as she glared at him. "Not yet? You can’t even find a single chess piece? What are you all doing?"
The elder lowered his head in fear, stammering, "It’s just that the Great Thousand War is imminent..."
"We absolutely cannot afford any mistakes at this critical moment... which is why we can’t deploy large forces to search the minor worlds for this chess piece."
He cautiously advised, "Your Majesty, though Xu Tun is a chess piece, he is not the only one. Once we survive the Great Thousand War, we can mobilize our forces to scour the minor worlds for him."
In the elder’s view, the empress was merely worried that losing one chess piece would weaken their chances in the Great Thousand War.
But the Linglong Heavenly Domain had countless chess pieces—why fret over just one?
Linglong closed her eyes.
She, too, understood the importance of the Great Thousand War.
But who knew that her desire to find Xu Tun wasn’t for the sake of the war?
Xu Tun... was someone she had wronged in the past.
She had personally killed him, forcing him to reincarnate.
He must despise her now, but...
Xu Tun, how could you know that I did this for your own good?
Never mind.
For now, let’s focus on surviving the Great Thousand War. Afterward, we’ll search the Netherfrost Sacred Domain and other minor worlds for Xu Tun!
However...
Linglong smirked coldly—that is, if this Netherfrost Sacred Domain can even survive the Great Thousand War.
A newly established sacred domain—how many Chosen Ones could they possibly have?
...
...
Due to the differing flow of time within the Bronze Cauldron’s dreamscape,
Qin Luo and Su Muwan still woke up as usual the next morning.
"Yawn~"
Su Muwan stretched lazily as she and Qin Luo descended from the floating island of the sacred palace.
"Don’t be sleepy, young lady. You’ll have plenty of action soon."
While tidying Su Muwan’s messy hair, Qin Luo rattled off a list of reminders.
Su Muwan nodded drowsily, catching only a few key points:
First, according to Qin Luo’s calculations, the Eastern Celestial Realm would unite today to attack them.
Second, he needed to visit the Ghost Domain later to retrieve something the Ghost Nether King had left unfinished.
Su Muwan was starting to feel like an overworked war machine.
Sure, she loved fighting, but did she really have to handle every single battle herself?
Qin Luo noticed her frustration, but...
Right now, she was the only one strong enough to stand against the warriors of the vast universe!
Well, not the only one.
Inside the crystal skyscraper—
a building Qin Luo had specifically designed as an administrative hub,
modeled after modern corporate structures from the minor worlds—
they arrived at the third-floor cafeteria.
"Ugh... I’m starving... I can’t walk anymore..."
Su Muwan clung to Qin Luo’s arm like a sloth, whining for him to drag her along.
Qin Luo didn’t mind—this was just how the young lady was. She had been working hard lately, so he indulged her.
At the serving counter,
Qin Luo blinked in surprise at the server. "What are you doing here?"
It was none other than Teng Ao.
Teng Ao grinned. "Morning, Brother Luo! Just covering for Wen Yu—she took Doudou to the cultivation academy earlier."
Indeed,
to ensure systematic training for everyone,
Qin Luo had merged modern education with cultivation practices.
Children now began their training from an early age.
Thanks to the richer spiritual energy of the vast universe,
everyone received ten Blood Qi Pills each month, courtesy of the Imperial Foundation.
Notably, the academy’s curriculum had also evolved beyond that of the minor worlds.
New majors included Spirit Beast Rearing, Spiritual Plant Grafting, and more...
Back to the present,
Qin Luo handed over his internal black card. "Twenty baskets of soup dumplings, please."
"You got it, Brother Luo!"
[Beep~ Internal card~]
After choosing a table, Qin Luo took one basket for himself and gave the remaining nineteen to Su Muwan.
As Su Muwan’s cultivation advanced, she didn’t transcend mortal needs like food—contrary to typical cultivation tropes.
In fact, her appetite had only grown.
These dumplings were just an appetizer.
Qin Luo suspected it might be tied to her initial martial arts foundation.
After all, she had started as a physical cultivator before stepping into the path of immortality.
Hmm?
Qin Luo blinked.
That was odd... Something had always felt off to him.
Cultivation was supposed to elevate one beyond mortal limits, yet most cultivators relied solely on spiritual energy for defense.
But Su Muwan was different—her fists packed a terrifying punch even without spiritual power!
Did that mean...
She was cultivating both body and spirit simultaneously?
No matter. For now, food came first.
With a light tap,
the bamboo steamer opened, releasing a cloud of fragrant steam carrying the sweetness of wheat and crab roe.
The dumpling skins were translucent, revealing pink shrimp and golden crab roe within.
These soup dumplings were bursting with rich, savory broth.
"Young lady..."
Qin Luo poked the top of a dumpling with his chopstick, releasing a stream of golden broth.
He glanced at Su Muwan, who was already staring with eager, sparkling eyes.
"Want me to feed you?"
"Yes!"
Su Muwan huffed, happily waiting to be served.
"Open up."
"Ah~"
As Qin Luo delivered the dumpling, Su Muwan’s lips parted, and she took a bite.
Instantly, the explosion of rich broth and tender filling overwhelmed her senses.
Her pupils dilated. "This! This is—!"
Qin Luo paused. "What’s wrong? Not good?"
"It’s too good!! Being alive is amazing! I’ll thank the creators of food ten thousand times!"
"Glad you like it, young lady."
"Humph! Keep going—don’t stop! I’m starving!"
"Alright, alright."
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?!
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
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!
