BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Dark mist surged, heaven and earth trembled!
The Shadow Ghost God tore through the void with its six arms, each strike carrying corrosive yin energy as it relentlessly pounded the Skeletal Giant.
"ROAR—!"
The Skeletal Giant staggered back, black ooze spraying from the gaps in its bones, only to rapidly heal.
The crimson flames in its hollow eye sockets flared violently as it suddenly opened its maw, unleashing a pitch-black beam of light!
The Shadow Ghost God spread its bone wings and vanished in an instant, reappearing above the giant’s head—six arms striking simultaneously!
BANG! BANG! BANG—!
The Skeletal Giant’s skull was smashed straight into its ribcage, yet it didn’t dodge. Instead, it seized one of the Ghost God’s arms and viciously tore—
RIIIP—!
One of the Shadow Ghost God’s arms was ripped clean off, dissipating into dark mist.
But as if impervious to pain, the remaining five arms rained down like a storm, each punch carrying a devouring force that gnawed at the Skeletal Giant’s essence!
"ROAR—!"
The Skeletal Giant let out a piercing howl as the black ooze covering its body boiled, solidifying into countless sharp bone spikes that shot toward the Shadow Ghost God!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG—!
The spikes collided against the Ghost God’s torso, sparks flying, yet failing to pierce its obsidian bones.
The Shadow Ghost God grinned savagely, its severed arm regenerating instantly as all six hands clamped onto the Skeletal Giant’s skull—
CRACK—!
The giant’s head was twisted clean off!
"Victory?!"
The Netherfrost cultivators gasped.
But the next moment—
"Gurgle…"
From within the headless giant’s chest, a new skull began forming!
It dropped to one knee, black ooze cascading like a waterfall, forming a corrosive swamp that spread toward the Shadow Ghost God!
"Endless, aren’t you?"
Qin Luo raised an eyebrow.
Su Muwan, who had somehow gotten her hands on a bag of chips, mumbled through a mouthful, "Luo Luo, is your Ghost God even up to the task?"
"What’s the rush?"
Qin Luo chuckled. "Let it get some practice."
After its creation, the Shadow Ghost God had been stored in the Ten Thousand Demon Banner.
Naturally, it still needed time to accumulate combat experience.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Netherfrost cultivators were locked in fierce battle against a tide of abominations!
Simply put, everyone knew their role.
The boss was left to their leader.
The trash mobs were theirs to clear.
"KILL—!"
A hundred thousand cultivators roared in unison, spells lighting up the sky.
As time passed, the Shadow Ghost God finally seized its chance—THUD!!
Six arms pierced through the Skeletal Giant’s chest, pinning it to the ground!
"ROAR—!"
The giant thrashed and howled, but escape was impossible.
The Shadow Ghost God opened its maw, ready to devour it whole—
"Stop."
Qin Luo suddenly raised his hand.
The Ghost God froze mid-action, obediently retreating.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Qin Luo strode toward the barely-breathing Skeletal Giant.
Its shattered body trembled as it weakly reached out a skeletal hand—
"My… King…"
A hoarse voice, broken as if weathered by endless time.
"At last… I see you…"
"Big Brother… is also… searching for you…"
"Every comrade… seeks you…"
Qin Luo’s pupils constricted.
This Skeletal Giant wasn’t just a mindless abomination—it was a warrior from some "tribe"? Searching for its "King"?
Wait… tribe? Warrior?
Qin Luo closed his eyes as fragmented memories surfaced.
Back when he and Su Muwan had traveled to the ancient savage era using the bronze cauldron…
Hadn’t they helped a few tribal members step onto the path of cultivation before leaving?
Could it be… them?!
Yes, who else but those ancient warriors could possess such physical resilience?
But… why?
What had happened to them?
He gazed at the Skeletal Giant and whispered, "What… befell you all?"
Hearing this, the giant mustered its last flicker of life, rasping:
"The tribe… our tribe… was attacked… by Heaven…"
"Heaven’s target… was… you…"
Then—WHOOSH!
The Skeletal Giant crumbled into dust, vanishing without a trace.
At the same time, a voice echoed through the skies:
[Congratulations to the Netherfrost Divine Realm for slaying the first abomination! Reward: 100,000 Faith Points!]
But Qin Luo stood silent, overwhelmed by the flood of revelations.
The most pressing question—
Why was it that after all his past time jumps, no one remembered him…
Yet these skeletal warriors did?
Why?
And "abominations"?
Had the Heavenly Dao altered the rules to eradicate these beings—the very ones who could communicate with him?
Su Muwan stepped forward, tugging at Qin Luo’s sleeve with concern. "Luo Luo? Are you alright?"
Qin Luo took a deep breath, fists clenched. "I’m fine."
His gaze sharpened like a blade. Though many pieces were still missing, one thing was clear—
The "Heaven" the skeleton spoke of…
Was almost certainly tied to the Heavenly Dao.
Chosen Ones, Reapers, Heavenly Avatars, Heavenly Domain, the Heavenly Dao itself…
Damn it, Heavenly Dao—what have you done? What are you scheming?
But since you’re playing this game…
Don’t blame me for turning everything upside down!
---
Time flowed onward.
The Sacred Alliance Army.
BOOM—!
The Skeletal Giant collapsed. The Radiant Empress stood atop her blood-stained golden lotus, face pale.
"Damn it all…"
She gritted her teeth.
This peak Dominator-level monstrosity had cost the alliance dearly!
Yet, they didn’t blame the abominations. Instead—
"This is all the Netherfrost Divine Realm’s fault!"
Lei Wuji bellowed. "If not for their tricks, why would the Heavenly Dao change the rules?!"
"Exactly!"
Yan Li snarled. "They must’ve cheated somehow!! That’s why the rules shifted! How despicable!"
The Radiant Empress gloomily stared at her dimmed life-bound treasure, teeth grinding. "Once I lay eyes on those insects, I’ll reduce them to ashes!"
Her golden lotus would need extensive repairs after this.
But just as she finished speaking—
A voice, cold and imperious as glacial winds, descended from the heavens:
[Oh? You think you can destroy my Netherfrost?]
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
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. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
