They... won?
They actually... won?
This thought spread like wildfire through everyone's minds.
"Did we... survive?"
A cultivator from the Blazing Heaven Sacred Domain trembled as he raised his hand to touch his own face, as if unable to believe he was still alive.
"The Shadow Court retreated! They retreated!"
Someone shouted hoarsely, their voice filled with the wild joy of having narrowly escaped death.
"It was Domain Master Su! Domain Master Su drove them back!"
"Domain Master Su saved us!"
Cheers erupted like thunder, transforming the previously silent battlefield into a boiling frenzy.
The cultivators' eyes were red, some even dropping to their knees and kowtowing deeply in Su Muwan's direction.
"We owe our lives to Domain Master Su!"
"Before, we were blind fools who dared oppose you!"
"From this day forward, we pledge our lives to the Netherfrost Divine Domain!"
[Army Command Effect Activated!]
The roaring voices and surges of faith power converged into golden torrents, madly rushing toward Su Muwan.
She stood unmoving, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her gaze cool yet hiding a trace of exhaustion.
All of this... was Qin Luo's plan.
She glanced sideways at Qin Luo, who had somehow already returned to her side.
A faint smile played on his lips, his eyes gentle as if saying—
No, he actually said it aloud.
"You've worked hard, young mistress."
Su Muwan snorted and turned her face away with a haughty expression. "Hmph, for a mere Qin Luo, you sure know how to put on an act."
Well, her "hand radar" was ringing loud and clear—this was the real deal.
Qin Luo chuckled softly. "You weren't bad yourself, young mistress."
"Hmph!"
Meanwhile, the domain lords of the Sacred Domain Alliance wore complicated expressions.
The once-arrogant Empress Linglong now only stared blankly, her nails digging deep into her palms as she glared at Su Muwan.
She hated Su Muwan.
Hated her for stealing her fortune, hated her for humiliating her.
And yet now...
She had been saved by Su Muwan?
"Heh..."
Empress Linglong let out a self-mocking laugh, her voice hoarse. "How... ironic."
The domain lords of the Frigid Heaven Sacred Domain, Nine Heavens Sacred Domain, and others remained equally silent.
Once, they had looked down on Su Muwan as nothing more than an ant.
Yet now, they owed their lives to this "ant."
The humiliation, the gratitude—it twisted their hearts like knives.
But after ecstasy comes despair.
The cheers gradually faded, replaced by low sobs.
"Senior Brother... Senior Brother is dead..."
"Elder! Wake up, please!"
"Why... why was I the one who survived..."
On the battlefield, the surviving cultivators clutched the corpses of their comrades, wailing in grief.
Even the Netherfrost Divine Domain had suffered heavy losses.
Huo Feng knelt on the ground, holding a fallen comrade in her arms, her fists clenched so tightly they turned white.
Li Mingyuan stood silently nearby, his eyes red behind his glasses.
But the most heartbreaking sight was Tian Zixing.
He knelt on the ground, clutching Su Bailian's lifeless body tightly, trembling uncontrollably.
"Xiao Lian... Xiao Lian..."
His voice was so hoarse it barely sounded human, as if his soul had been torn apart.
"Didn't you say... you'd follow me forever...?"
"Didn't you say... you'd repay your debt...?"
"How... how could you...?"
His tears fell onto Su Bailian's pale face, but she would never open her eyes again, never give him that timid, gentle smile.
Su Muwan froze.
"Su Bailian... is dead?"
She blinked, momentarily dazed.
Though she had always found her younger sister annoying...
Seeing her lying there lifeless now left an inexplicable void in Su Muwan's heart.
"Young mistress, it's alright."
Just as she was about to speak, Qin Luo took her wrist and whispered, "This is also part of the act."
Su Muwan: ???
Death was like an extinguished lamp.
No matter how powerful a cultivator was, once dead, they were gone forever.
A sorrowful atmosphere permeated the battlefield.
Even the usually carefree Xiao Tian fell silent, staring blankly at the corpses on the ground.
"If you're dead... you can't eat lollipops anymore..." he murmured.
Just as everyone was drowning in grief—
"Ah."
A soft sigh broke the silence.
Everyone instinctively looked up to see Qin Luo step forward, standing at the center of the battlefield.
"Master Qin?"
"What is he doing?"
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Qin Luo slowly raised his hand.
In his palm, an emerald-green light and a pure white light shimmered into existence—warm, gentle, brimming with boundless vitality.
The next moment—
Hummm!!
A brilliant green-white halo erupted from him, expanding outward in an instant!
[Life Domain · Revival of All Things!]
Wherever the halo passed, scorched earth regained life.
Withered plants grew wildly, and even the stench of blood in the air was replaced by a fresh, cleansing scent.
"This... this is?!"
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
"The Law of Life?!"
"The legendary Law of Life?! Impossible!"
"Qin Luo... actually mastered the Law of Life?!"
Even Empress Linglong and the other domain lords were too stunned to speak.
The Law of Life, revered as the "Forbidden Decree of Heaven," was the supreme law that even Chaos Realm experts could never hope to touch!
Yet Qin Luo…
Had he truly mastered it?!
Just as everyone was reeling in shock, something even more inconceivable happened—
A faint green glow began to emanate from the fallen cultivators.
Their wounds healed at a visible pace, their pallid complexions gradually regaining color.
"Cough… cough!"
A cultivator from the Blazing Heaven Sacred Domain abruptly sat up, hacking violently.
"I… I’m not dead?"
He stared blankly at his hands, then touched his chest.
The gaping wound that had been torn through by the Shadow Beasts was now completely healed!
"They’re alive! They’re alive!"
"Heavens! Master Qin has reversed life and death!"
The battlefield erupted in chaos!
Cultivators wept with joy, rushing toward their revived comrades and clinging to them, terrified it might all be an illusion.
But the most staggering sight was Su Bailian in Xiao Tian’s arms.
Her lashes fluttered faintly before her eyes slowly opened.
"Savior…"
Her voice was weak, yet it sent a tremor through Xiao Tian’s entire body.
"Xiao Lian…?"
His voice shook, afraid this was just a dream.
Su Bailian blinked, then suddenly flashed a mischievous grin. "Savior… you look so ugly when you cry."
Xiao Tian: "…"
He crushed her into a fierce embrace, holding her so tightly it seemed he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
"Don’t… ever do that again…"
His voice was muffled, thick with unshed tears.
Su Bailian gently patted his back and whispered, "Okay~"
"Savior… there’s something Xiao Lian never told you."
"What?"
"Xiao Lian has a pet named Boqi. He eats… a lot."
"Let him eat! As much as he wants!! I’m the next master of the Stellar Divine Palace—Boqi eats what the Palace Master eats!"
The crowd: ……
Su Muwan: ? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?
On the battlefield, cheers shook the heavens.
"Long live Master Qin!"
"Long live the Netherfrost Divine Domain!"
[Army Commander Effect activated!]
The cultivators prostrated themselves, kowtowing devoutly in the direction of Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
Faith energy surged like a reversed galaxy, pouring into the two of them in torrents.
Su Muwan watched the scene, a faint smile curling her lips.
She turned to Qin Luo and raised a brow. "When did you learn the Law of Life?"
Qin Luo grinned. "A secret."
Su Muwan snorted but didn’t press further.
She knew Qin Luo always defied the impossible.
Just like now.
He had given everyone hope.
And her… the steadiest anchor.
Still, there was one more question.
Su Muwan blinked at Qin Luo. "Are we returning the Domain Masters’ law essences?"
Qin Luo shrugged, his lips quirking. "What do you think, Young Miss? Saving them deserves some interest, no?"
Su Muwan giggled.
Who’d have thought she’d get to play savior?
At the very least, the Domain Masters’ attitudes toward her would soften now.
Qin Luo watched her delight with a quiet smile of his own.
Then—
Swish.
A single white hair slipped unnoticed from Qin Luo’s locks.
He paused, then understood.
So this was the side effect of the Law of Life.
Guess he couldn’t use it recklessly from now on.
Gurgle—
Shadow energy quietly dissolved the white strand.
Su Muwan sensed something and narrowed her eyes at him. "Hm? Did you just do something?"
Qin Luo smiled. "Nope."
"Oh, Young Miss."
"Hmm?"
"Let’s go back to camp. I’ll make you cream puffs."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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?!
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
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."
