The two exchanged glances and sighed simultaneously.
"No way?"
"Why does this kind of plot keep happening everywhere?"
Su Muwan massaged her temples.
Enough. Seriously, enough.
I tolerated it once, twice, even three times!!!
But!
You can’t just keep making me endure this!!
I’m not the Dragon King, damn it!!
Qin Luo, however, remained calm and murmured, "I’ve already deduced it—this is the celestial realm during the Immortal-Demon War, and we just happen to be on opposing sides."
He narrowed his eyes, glancing at the group of "righteously indignant" immortals, and smirked. "But... this situation actually works in our favor."
Su Muwan blinked. "Huh?"
Qin Luo chuckled. "These people are practically oozing with dense law energy."
"Their cultivation... Dominator Realm... Perfect."
Su Muwan’s eyes lit up. "Got it!"
She turned around, shedding her earlier exasperation, and swept a sharp gaze over the immortals. "This Immortal Venerable will associate with whomever she pleases. Who are you to dictate my choices?"
The immortals: "???"
Fairy Bixia, dressed in green, "lamented with grief." "Immortal Venerable Su! You are a pillar of the celestial realm! How could you stoop so low?!"
A plaque hung at her waist, inscribed with... Fairy Bixia.
Her voice was so shrill it nearly tore through the clouds.
Her fingers dug into her palms inside her sleeves, but beneath the surface, years of suppressed glee surged in her eyes.
Finally... Finally, this day has come!
Fairy Bixia stared at Su Muwan’s coldly beautiful face, her heart hissing like a venomous snake.
Ever since you ascended to the celestial realm, everyone’s eyes have been on you!
"The celestial realm’s number one ice beauty," "the once-in-a-millennium Extreme Frost Immortal Body"...
Her teeth ground audibly. Those titles should have been hers!
But no matter!
Not long ago, she had finally caught Su Muwan’s weakness.
Namely, her alleged collusion with Qin Luo—the demon realm’s youngest and most monstrous Demon Venerable.
Today, she had deliberately led three Immortal Venerables with blood feuds against the demon realm to this "chance encounter."
Once Su Muwan’s crime of conspiring with the demonic scourge was confirmed...
I’ll watch as your immortal bones are stripped away, as you wail on the Execution Platform!
Hahaha!! Su Muwan! Even if you cripple your cultivation and beg on your knees now, I won’t spare you!
Back to the present.
As expected, Immortal Venerable Chixu bellowed in fury. "Su Muwan! Do you know how many of our celestial disciples the demon realm has slaughtered?! If you don’t give us an explanation today—"
Before he could finish—
"An explanation?"
Su Muwan suddenly laughed softly, her ice-blue eyes sweeping over the crowd. "Since when does this Immortal Venerable need to explain herself to ants?"
"A bunch of Dominator Realm trash, daring to yap in front of me?"
Ah, the familiar feeling is back.
Let’s be real—who else but me can slip into character this fast?
Anyway, this is just a dream. Though Qin Luo mentioned it might slightly affect the future...
But come on, how much trouble could minor players like us possibly cause?
Fairy Bixia nearly laughed out loud.
Idiot! You’re still spouting nonsense?!
She immediately teared up and wailed dramatically. "Everyone heard that! Immortal Venerable Su has completely fallen to demonic—"
"Annoying."
SMACK!
"Ghk—!"
Before she could finish, Qin Luo teleported in front of her and backhanded her across the face.
The slap left Fairy Bixia’s head ringing.
Huh...?
What?
I... got hit?
Her eyes widened in terror. How could this demonic cultivator bypass the celestial realm’s restrictions and attack directly?!
What’s going on?
In reality, they were currently in the celestial realm’s Jade Pool, a place under celestial jurisdiction with special restrictions that normally prevented immortals from unleashing their full power.
But this... What kind of monster is this Demon Venerable?!
"You... you hit me?"
Fairy Bixia turned her head, glaring furiously at Qin Luo. "Do you know who my father is—"
SMACK!!
Another slap cut her off. Qin Luo raised his hand and seized her by the throat, then glanced at Su Muwan.
"Miss, devour her."
Su Muwan: ? Am I some kind of demonic beast?
Witnessing this, another Immortal Venerable roared. "Halt!! Today, this old man will uphold justice, slay the demonic scourge, and purge the celestial realm!"
Before the words faded, golden immortal light erupted from his palm as a celestial sword shot straight for Qin Luo’s throat!
Qin Luo didn’t even flinch.
The next second—
"Tch. Old fool, did this young lady permit you to move?"
CLANG!
Extreme frost energy surged abruptly.
CRACK!
The celestial sword shattered into pieces, and the Immortal Venerable coughed blood as he was sent flying!
!!
The immortals trembled in horror. "One move to repel a Dominator?!"
They stared at Su Muwan in disbelief.
How could Su Muwan also unleash her full power within the celestial realm?!
This isn’t fair!
WHOOSH!
The next instant, Su Muwan flashed in front of Fairy Bixia. "Qin Luo, let me take over."
"Sure."
Qin Luo released his grip, and Su Muwan clamped her hand around Fairy Bixia’s throat. "You were the chatty one just now, huh?"
!!
Fairy Bixia shivered and sobbed. "Immortal Venerable Su, spare me! I... I was acting for the sake of the celestial realm!"
"And... if you kill me..."
"That insignificant ant named Lian who already reincarnated... My father will definitely hunt her down agai—GACK!!"
Before she could finish—
A scream tore from her throat as her origin energy was forcibly ripped out and swiftly absorbed by Su Muwan.
SPLAT!
Su Muwan tossed her aside like a lump of clay and snorted. "Lian this, Lian that—don’t you know I hate that name the most?"
"!!!"
The immortals watched, petrified.
Wait—
What did they just witness?!
Huh?!
Su Muwan!! She absorbed someone else’s origin energy?!
Isn’t that something only demonic cultivators do?!
The kind of shortcut demonic cultivators take to rapidly boost their strength by devouring others!
The very thing they despise most!!
"This is treason!!"
"Immortal Venerable Su has turned to devouring her own kind!!"
"Demonic scourge! Su Muwan has become a demonic scourge!"
"Someone summon the Immortal King to—GACK!!"
SMACK!
Another slap silenced the speaker.
Su Muwan rolled her eyes. "Blah blah blah, what’s all this nonsense?"
"Hand over your origin energy now!"
"This Immortal Venerable might spare your lives!"
"Wait, no—without origin energy, wouldn’t you be worse than dead?"
"Maybe I should just send you straight to reincarnation? Save you the queue time down below."
She then glanced at Qin Luo, as if pleased with her own idea. "What do you think, Qin Luo?"
"Whatever makes you happy, Miss."
The immortals: !!
Terrified by the casual way these two discussed sending them to their next lives, they shuddered violently.
Seriously?!
Could you not discuss this right in front of us?!
And... since when is Immortal Venerable Su so familiar with this Demon Venerable?!
Also, she’s talking way more than the old Su Muwan!
Ah, it must be because of that mortal named Lian she brought back from the lower realm!
That Lian was executed and reincarnated just for feeding a spirit dog one extra time, all because an immortal official crushed her soul with a single finger—dog included.
Immortal Venerable Su rushed to the Immortal King's Palace and intervened to save Lian's soul, allowing her to be reincarnated.
Damn it!
It was from that moment onward that Immortal Venerable Su’s condition began to deteriorate!
Now that things have come to this...
"Spare us! We’ll hand over the primordial energy!!"
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?!
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)

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!
