Night.
On the calm streets of Qi City, two figures suddenly burst into view.
Ye Tian, hands on his knees, panted heavily. "You, why are you running!"
"Those gold coins are all fake. If we hadn't run, we'd have been caught."
An Yi grinned, a crafty smile curling at his lips.
Right now, he had a huge stash of Dark Power points. After expanding his storage space, he had some left over, so he upgraded his [Forgery] skill to level four.
Now, the gold coins he made looked practically real.
Whether in weight or texture, they were extremely similar. Most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference at all.
The only pity was that he’d made several thousand coins at once—too many—and they didn’t last long.
A chill ran down Ye Tian’s spine.
This guy really had no fear of death!
All those gold coins—every single one was fake!
"And you were shouting about treating everyone to the bill?" Ye Tian asked helplessly.
Why did this guy have to act so arrogant and domineering, even when doing bad things?
An Yi chuckled calmly. "Those bastards just stood there watching and fanning the flames. How could I let them off easy without paying a price?"
By now, the counterfeit coins must have been discovered.
Those diners, reveling in their lavish fun, wouldn’t get out of Xu Manor Restaurant without bleeding some cash themselves.
"So, does that make you feel better?" An Yi raised an eyebrow.
Ye Tian paused, a warmth rising in his chest.
This guy… maybe he wasn’t as much of a jerk as he seemed.
"It’s fine. Five years have passed. I’ve long forgotten."
Ye Tian put on a casual front.
He had once been Ye Nantian, but now he was just Ye Tian—two souls had merged.
To say he’d truly forgotten the past was impossible.
That girl who once shyly and sweetly promised to marry him—she was the obsession of his first love. Now she was about to marry someone else. How could he let it go?
An Yi comforted him. "Look on the bright side. I have a friend who gets cheated on all the time, and he’s still single now too."
"What… what’s the connection there?"
Ye Tian was baffled.
"None, really. Just wanted to tell you: if you want a smooth life, you’ve got to wear a little green on your head."
...
Xu Manor.
A sharp, piercing scream rang out.
A bound monkey-type demon beast had a red-hot branding iron pressed against its chest by a servant.
Sizzling white smoke rose, burning fur, flesh, and blood, filling the air with a foul, pungent stench.
The demon beast’s cries grew even more harrowing.
"Ha, how fun!"
Outside the iron cage, a fairly pretty woman watched the scene unfold, a strange smile spreading across her face. Her cheeks flushed.
The louder the screams, the happier her expression became.
"Miss," a guard called from outside the door.
Xu Yiyun frowned in annoyance.
She hated being disturbed during moments like this.
"Did you find that Flame Wolf?"
Xu Yiyun put away her eerie, gleeful smile, her face turning cold.
The guard trembled. "That… that Flame Wolf has already died…"
"Useless!"
Xu Yiyun’s brow furrowed, her gaze sharp and icy. She lashed out with a long whip, leaving a bloodied mark across the guard’s face.
The guard lowered his head, speaking weakly. "Young Master Qi has already sent the city guard to handle it, but…"
"I don’t want to hear excuses!"
Xu Yiyun struck with the whip again, her eyes dark and venomous.
Her fiancé was the city lord’s son. She’d thought she could command everything in Qi City, yet even this small task was botched!
Just then, another guard rushed in, panicked.
"Miss, something terrible has happened! Someone’s causing trouble at the restaurant!"
Xu Yiyun’s cold gaze swept over him. "Who dares?"
She was about to become the young city lord’s wife!
How dare anyone cause chaos on her family’s turf!
"You… you should come see for yourself," the guard said, his face pale.
Over five thousand gold coins—spent in one night.
That Xu Liu wouldn’t be enough, even if he died a hundred times over.
...
The next morning.
At an inn in Qi City.
An Yi woke from his sleep and was about to roll over for some more shut-eye.
Then he noticed something soft in his arms.
"Long Niu! How did you sneak out again!"
Looking at Long Aoxue beside him, An Yi sighed with resignation.
Long Aoxue blinked drowsily at An Yi, rubbing her eyes, and said matter-of-factly, "It’s boring in there!"
Back on Blue Star, with its sparse spiritual energy, she relied on sleep to reduce unnecessary energy loss.
But in this world, the spiritual energy was abundant.
So sleep wasn’t as necessary, and her waking hours had increased.
Lately, An Yi had been taking Ye Tian around to build up his Destiny points, so she couldn’t come out—it had really frustrated her.
"Forget it, do whatever you want." An Yi yawned.
Long Aoxue poked him.
"Play cards!"
"Not now!"
"Play chess!"
"Too boring!"
"Lose one round, take off one piece of clothing!"
An Yi sat up straight, looking put-upon. "Fine, I guess I have no choice!"
Back in the day, Long Aoxue was like an emotionless girl.
Always unflappable, almost impossible to read.
But now, the more she learned, the more lively her expressions became.
An Yi set up the chessboard.
Cracking his fingers, a confident smile flashed across his handsome face as he placed a black piece at the board’s center.
"Bring it on!"
An Yi met Long Aoxue’s gaze, the corners of his mouth lifting.
A minute later.
Staring at the line of five white pieces, An Yi was dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Had this girl’s chess skills gotten this good?
"Strip!"
Long Aoxue stared at An Yi, her tone serious.
An Yi: "…"
"Come on, I was still half-asleep. I let you win that one! It doesn’t count!"
An Yi slapped his cheeks to wake himself up.
Second round: An Yi played seriously but still lost badly.
"Again!"
"Wait, let me take back that move first!"
"You put your piece down while I was zoning out—that’s cheating! This round doesn’t count either!"
He tried every trick in the book, but it still didn’t stop him from losing.
An Yi was down to just his underwear, frowning hard at the board.
After so many rounds, he hadn’t won a single one!
"It’s been half an hour. Your turn," Long Aoxue said eagerly, her beautiful eyes fixed on An Yi’s shorts.
She’d only seen them once before, and not very clearly.
An Yi’s face darkened as he pressed a hand to his forehead. "Stop staring like that. It’s creepy in human terms! What girl acts like that?"
Long Aoxue could only nod, urging him, "Then hurry up and make your move."
Looking at the pieces on the board—four of them were already lined up. How could he block any side without losing?
An Yi had a sudden idea. "Are you hungry? I’ll cook some instant noodles."
Long Aoxue shook her head. "I’m not hungry."
Left with no choice, An Yi accidentally pushed forward, scattering the board and all the pieces.
"Oops, my hand slipped."
An Yi dusted off his hands, feigning regret.
Long Aoxue bent down to pick up the pieces. "It’s fine. I remember every move."
An Yi: "…"
"I don’t remember them. What if you cheat me?"
“Well then, how about one more round?”
An Yi: “…”
Just then, from outside the inn, came the clamorous sound of city guards’ footsteps.
An Yi’s expression stiffened, turning serious as he changed the subject: “Shh, don’t say a word. They’re not here to play nice!”
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
