The next morning.
[Lackey System upgrade successful!!]
[Long time no see, Master (^▽^)]
[Your little pup has now reached Version 3.0!]
[New Feature 1: Rule Gems (Can convert rule-based powers into gems stored in the system space! Throw the gem to activate the rule when needed! Note: Cooldown applies!)]
[New Feature 2: Major Lackey Skill Tree upgrade! All skills have evolved! Reminder: The Lackey Skill Tree is the most crucial, most crucial, most crucial source of your combat power! Current remaining skill points: 27!]
[New Feature 3: Coordinate Teleportation (Can traverse between worlds with known coordinates)!]
[Congratulations, Master, for performing lackey deeds on twenty Chosen Ones of the Great Thousand Worlds!! Reward distributed: 400 attribute points!!]
Qin Luo was making breakfast while glancing at the fresh system notifications.
Rule Gems?
What’s next, an Infinity Gauntlet?
Still, the idea of converting rule-based powers into gems...
Qin Luo focused his mind.
A blood-red iron fragment floated before him.
This was a small leftover piece from defeating the Sword Abomination.
He had already examined it—it was essentially the Sword Abomination’s egg, requiring active absorption of its sword intent to grow.
Duan Jiujian was a prime example.
Rise by the Abomination, fall by the Abomination.
But the Abomination’s rule-based power was quite useful. If he could wield it actively, why not?
With that thought, he tested the new feature.
In an instant—
Hum!
A white light flashed, and the iron fragment transformed into a translucent blood-red cat’s eye gem.
[Sword Tomb]
[Instantly deploys the power of the Sword Tomb, turning all affected into Sword Tomb Spirits]
[The more people affected, the stronger the user becomes, ascending as the Supreme Sword Tomb King]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
Qin Luo: ?
“Sword Tomb, Sword Tomb”... sounds kinda like an insult?
Qin Luo stayed silent and simply tossed it into the system storage.
Next up...
The much-anticipated moment.
“Open status panel.”
Since arriving in the Great Thousand Worlds, Qin Luo hadn’t checked his attributes in a while.
The next second—

The dazzling display of his status panel filled Qin Luo with satisfaction and comfort.
Having broken through to the Supreme Realm, his attributes had all reached the critical limit of the minor world.
To progress further, he needed more attribute points.
After defeating Chosen Ones like Huo Feng, who had dominated the Eastern Hua Heavenly Realm for tens of thousands of years, the accumulated attribute points were distributed in bulk after the system’s upgrade.
So...
All into Defense!
In an instant, 400 attribute points went into Defense.
200 → 600!
[Congratulations, Master, for breaking through to the Early-stage Peerless Realm!]
His aura surged as Qin Luo leveled up.
Pleased, he nodded. Now, it was time to examine the Lackey Skill Tree.
He had allocated some skill points before but hadn’t bothered afterward—there was no need. After all, the highest combat power was Su Muwan, and if he encountered someone he couldn’t beat... well, so far, he hadn’t.
But since the system had reminded him twice now, he figured he should take this “Lackey Skill Tree” seriously.
With that thought, a black panel materialized before him.
Just like before.
The panel of the Lackey Skill Tree exuded an ominous aura from every corner.
Displayed on it was a twisted, tree-like diagram.
Each branch was marked with different grayed-out skills.
Since he had already allocated some skill points before, numerous branching paths had extended outward.
He examined it carefully.
The skill tree was divided into three upgrade paths:
1. Shadow Arts Master
2. Night Shadow Assassin
3. Netherworld Witch Doctor
Theoretically, as long as he had enough skill points, he could unlock all the skills of these three professions.
But right now, he only had 27 points.
Well, he’d figure it out as he went.
Previously, he had unlocked the three professions, granting him access to the Shadow Domain.
He even had a passive survival skill that made him phase into intangibility at night.
But to have even a sliver of self-preservation in this vast world, this was far from enough.
So...
Qin Luo stared at the skill panel, deliberating carefully before making his decision.
With a thought, he allocated his points like this:
[Shadow Creatures upgraded to LV3]
Effect: Summon 1,000 Frenzied Ravens, 500 Shadow Owls, and 100 Shadow Titans!
[Annihilation]
Effect: When shadow creatures self-destruct, they generate [Annihilation Black Holes], which continuously pull in enemies and deal true damage (each black hole lasts 10 seconds).
[Shadow Nest]
Effect: Summon a Shadow Nest rooted in the battlefield, continuously spawning [Shadow Worms]. The worms can devour corpses to evolve into [Shadow Behemoths].
While the nest exists, all shadow creatures' attacks deal additional true damage.
[Veil of Eternal Night]
Effect: Expands a 2-kilometer radius of absolute darkness, blocking all detection methods.
Within the domain, spiritual energy is forbidden (all techniques related to spiritual energy become unusable).
Allied shadow creatures gain [Phantom Form] inside the domain, becoming immune to physical damage.
[Shadow’s Grasp]
Effect: Forcibly restrains and crushes the target, can be combined with other techniques.
[Crossing the Styx]
Effect: Select an allied shadow creature or an enemy to sacrifice, summoning the [Ferry of the Styx].
(Unless the target is stronger than the Lord of the Styx, this skill cannot be evaded.)
Ferry effects:
Allies: Restores all shadow creatures to full condition and removes all debuffs.
Enemies: Strips away one-third of the target’s cultivation and transfers it to the caster for one minute.
[Prerequisite skills for all three professions activated]
[Now unlocked: Shadow Monarch – Throne of Dominion]
Effect: Summons the [Shadow Throne]. When the caster sits upon it, all conditions are fully restored, and all shadow creatures are revived.
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride. Lin Xuan's eyes light up, eager to pledge his loyalty on the spot, but instead, her kiss transfers a glass of drugged wine into his mouth, causing him to pass out... 【Male Protagonist with Single Female Lead】【Yandere Tycoon】【Action-Packed】【True vs. Fake Heir】
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!
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."
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
