Western Nether Realm · Profound Abyss Sacred Domain.
Within the Holy Maiden's grand hall.
Xu Tun listened to the voice echoing in his mind, his gaze darkening.
Behind him, the Holy Maiden Suo Yunyun spoke with surprise, "Senior, this Great Thousand War is truly bizarre. The rules keep changing—what could be the reason?"
"My father has also demanded that cultivators above the Dominator Realm head to the battlefield. Thankfully, my cultivation is too weak..."
As she spoke, she noticed Xu Tun silently staring at the golden gate entrance.
Her heart instantly tightened. "Senior… you’re not planning to enter, are you?"
Xu Tun clenched his fist and replied calmly, "Since the rules have changed, the Linglong Heavenly Domain’s Empress Linglong will likely enter as well."
Suo Yunyun swallowed hard and cautiously added, "From what my father said, he chose to act precisely because the Linglong Heavenly Domain was the first to send Eternal Realm experts through that gate."
"The sect leaders of the other Sacred Domains have all mobilized, so he intends to seize his share as well."
"Though cultivation can be suppressed to the peak of the Dominator Realm..."
"But... that makes it far too dangerous inside. Senior, surely you’re not thinking of going?"
As her words trailed off, Xu Tun turned to look at her, his intent unmistakable.
Suo Yunyun stiffened, her body trembling faintly.
After what she had endured in the Soul Burial Abyss—ambushed by monsters, assaulted by horrors—she had grown fearful of battle.
Seeing her tremble, Xu Tun said flatly, "I’ll go alone. You stay here."
"No!"
Suo Yunyun refused without hesitation.
She took a deep breath, her eyes firm. "If you’re going, then so am I!"
Xu Tun frowned. "You—"
"Because you definitely don’t understand the rules of the Great Thousand War! With me there, I can guide you!"
"Besides, with the Profound Abyss Sacred Domain backing us, no ordinary force would dare act against you!"
Xu Tun relented.

Netherfrost Divine Domain · Battlefront
Black mist churned as monstrous howls filled the air.
Qin Luo and Su Muwan stood side by side, backed by the Netherfrost Divine Domain’s elite army of 100,000 cultivators, their momentum overwhelming.
"Luo Luo, why do these abominations keep multiplying the more we kill?"
Su Muwan tilted her head slightly, raising a finger as frigid energy instantly froze everything within a thousand zhang radius.
Countless abominations turned to ice sculptures before shattering into dust with a crisp crack.
"The Heavenly Dao altered the rules, merging battlefields. Naturally, the abominations grew in number as well."
Qin Luo chuckled, dark shadow energy swirling in his palm and coalescing into an inky-black longsword.
With a casual swing, blade light surged like a tide, shredding hundreds of abominations ahead into dissipating black mist.
"Tch, what a hassle."
Su Muwan clicked her tongue, though a glint of excitement flickered in her eyes. "But… cutting them down is oddly satisfying! You know, like that fruit-slicing mobile game!"
"Miss… what kind of analogy is that?"
Before he could finish, Su Muwan vanished in a flash, charging straight into the horde of abominations!
BOOM—!
Frigid power erupted. Wherever she passed, the abominations froze and shattered before they could even scream!
Qin Luo shook his head helplessly, though a faint smile tugged at his lips as he followed. Shadow energy surged like a tidal wave across the battlefield, annihilating every abomination in its path!
The Netherfrost cultivators, witnessing this, burned with fighting spirit!
"Brothers, follow our Domain Lord and Master Qin!"
"Charge—!"
A thunderous roar erupted from the 100,000 cultivators as they stormed the battlefield like an unstoppable flood. Blades flashed, spells detonated, and the abomination horde was torn apart!
......
Sacred Domain Allied Forces' Battle Zone
RUMBLE—!
The earth quaked as the sky darkened.
Tens of thousands of cultivators from the Sacred Domain alliance struggled to hold back the relentless tide of abominations. They had come to harvest faith, yet now they were being forced into retreat!
"Damn it! Why won’t these things die?!"
Lei Wuji roared, lightning erupting from his palm and reducing a lunging abomination to charred remains.
"Stop complaining and focus on breaking through!"
Yan Li’s fingertips blazed with crimson flames as sacred fire swept out, repelling a wave of abominations.
Bai Wuchen’s expression was icy as his Frostblade cleaved through dozens of abominations, freezing them solid. "At this rate, we’ll be worn down to nothing!"
Just as desperation set in, an earth-shaking battle cry suddenly erupted in the distance!
"Huh?!"
The allied forces snapped their heads up—only to see a group of overwhelmingly powerful figures soaring toward them!
Behind them, an endless tide of cultivators advanced like an unstoppable deluge!
"Are those… the Sacred Domain elders?!"
"Why are they here?!"
"What’s happening?!"
The allied cultivators’ pupils trembled in disbelief.
"Does this mean the Great Thousand War now permits elders to enter?!"
"Thank the heavens!!"
Lei Wuji exhaled in relief. "Once my Nine Heavens Sacred Domain’s elders arrive, we’re saved."
"Ha!"
Yan Li scoffed. "Keep dreaming. After your Nine Heavens’ humiliating defeat last time, I bet they saw the Netherfrost Sacred Domain’s faith values and chickened out!"
"You—!!" Lei Wuji bellowed in fury. "If my foster father encounters that venomous witch Su Muwan, he’ll grind her bones to dust!!"
......
Meanwhile.
Just as Qin Luo and Su Muwan carved a bloody path forward—
"Luo Luo, is that… people ahead?"
Su Muwan blinked, spotting tens of thousands of figures emerging from the black mist in the distance.
Qin Luo narrowed his eyes, activating his Heavenly Eye to instantly discern their identities.
There, standing atop thunderclouds wreathed in violent purple lightning—
Was none other than the Nine Heavens Sacred Domain’s Domain Lord, Lei Zhentian!!
Behind him stood several elders, their auras profound, all at the peak of the Dominator Realm!
And further back—tens of thousands of cultivators at the Supreme Realm!
"Oh? The Nine Heavens Sacred Domain?"
Qin Luo smirked, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
At the same time, he muttered to the Heavenly Dao, "Is this Heavenly Dao out of its mind? Changing the rules over and over—what the hell is Hajido even trying to do?"
Su Muwan also sensed their presence and rolled her eyes. "Ugh, these pests again? And Hajido, what’s your damn deal?"
Before she could finish, Lei Zhentian’s thunderous roar erupted like a storm:
"VENOMOUS WITCH OF THE NETHERFROST!"
"AND HER PET CONCUBINE! TODAY, I WILL CLAIM YOUR LIVES!"

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.
