“The God War, in simple terms, began when foreign gods trespassed onto the Ancient Continent five thousand years ago and drove out the native gods.”
“In the end, the native gods were defeated. Some were slaughtered, others surrendered, and that bunch of foreign beasts seized the Nine Heavens.”
“Oh, right. Those native gods weren’t exactly good people either. They were all birds of a feather. After occupying the Nine Heavens, they plunged the entire continent into misery…”
“Stop staring and eat. The meat’s getting cold.”
At the East Profound Academy’s infirmary, An Yi was treating Ye Tian to hot pot.
Steam billowed from the boiling pot, red oil roiling as a hazy mist filled the air.
The spicy, savory flavor delivered an intense assault on the senses—something few people on the Ancient Continent ever had the chance to experience.
Ye Tian picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, dipped it in sesame sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth. “You really know how to make shocking statements. If word of this gets out, those people from the Divine Church will burn you alive.”
An Yi curled his lip. “The Divine Church? Hah. They’re nothing but a pack of dogs. I don’t even care about their master.”
Ye Tian could only smile helplessly.
But he knew that An Yi was telling the truth.
“Come on, bottoms up!”
An Yi handed him a can of beer.
Ye Tian hesitated. “I’m a patient. Shouldn’t I avoid alcohol?”
An Yi said solemnly, “I’m a physician, and I say you’re perfectly fine to drink.”
Ye Tian: “…”
“So? Feeling much better lately?” An Yi asked casually.
Ye Tian took a sip of beer and sighed. “I’m afraid I’ll need another three months to make a full recovery.”
“You’re lucky to be alive. If you hadn’t run into me, your meridians would’ve been crippled. Even after recovering, you’d have been useless. You probably wouldn’t even be able to beat Pockmark Wang.”
An Yi shot Ye Tian a glance.
Ye Tian smiled faintly.
He knew An Yi was right.
His battle with Wu Huan had not only left him gravely injured—it had also drained more than half the spiritual energy stored in the small bronze tower.
At the time, the small bronze tower had supplied him with a considerable amount of spiritual energy. However, his body could only absorb so much, so he had been forced to keep releasing it in order to advance his cultivation.
Once his body recovered, he would have to find a way to replenish the spiritual energy in the small bronze tower.
“You’re really not going to the Divine Phoenix Empire?” An Yi asked, raising an eyebrow.
Ye Tian nodded and smiled. “I have some matters of my own to settle here.”
“Then do things your way.” An Yi shrugged.
After all his efforts, this kid’s Destiny Value had risen from fifteen to ninety-five.
Reaching the maximum value shouldn’t be too difficult now.
The main quest was also halfway complete. As for the other half, Ye Tian would have to figure it out himself.
“Right now, I have two fire-type divine meridians in my body. Every day, it feels as though tens of thousands of ants are gnawing at my meridians. The pain is unbearable.”
Ye Tian looked at An Yi gravely. “And you have eight.”
He couldn’t imagine what it felt like to have eight spiritual meridians inside one’s body. He could barely endure having two.
An Yi’s expression froze for a moment before he said calmly, “To wear the crown, one must bear its weight. Get used to the feeling, and it won’t seem like much anymore.”
For the first time, respect appeared in Ye Tian’s eyes.
“As expected of the Night Emperor An Yi,” Ye Tian said slowly.
He had used the language of the Ancient Continent when he spoke An Yi’s name.
He was referring to the very name that made all the gods tremble.
An Yi’s expression remained unchanged, the corners of his lips curving upward. “So you knew all along.”
He had never intended to hide much from Ye Tian. Given the man’s mind, it would have been strange if he hadn’t figured it out.
Ye Tian said quietly, “If people found out you were still alive, the entire Nine Heavens would be shaken.”
Back then, the Night Sect had been massacred.
With his own power, An Yi had nearly fought his way through the entire Nine Heavens.
A legendary figure like that was right beside him. More than once, Ye Tian had felt as though it were all unreal.
After all, he couldn’t believe that the famed Night Emperor was actually such a shameless, obnoxious brat.
An Yi remained perfectly calm, idly spinning his beer can between his fingers, a teasing look in his eyes. “Don’t worry. Those so-called gods won’t be at peace for much longer.”
At those words, Ye Tian felt hot blood surge through his chest as well.
Slaying the gods!
In the past several thousand years, perhaps only the Night Sect had ever been capable of such a feat.
“By the way, don’t think that reaching the Half-Step Deity Transformation Realm means you’re invincible. There are plenty of people on the Ancient Continent whose strength surpasses the Deity Transformation Realm,” An Yi said evenly.
A smile tugged at Ye Tian’s lips. “So you knew long ago that I’m Ye Nantian too.”
An Yi glanced at him. “You kept letting it slip yourself. That’s how I found out.”
Ye Tian: “…”
Ye Nantian. Ye Tian.
Their names were similar enough, and Ye Tian occasionally brought up Ye Nantian’s glorious achievements.
Even if An Yi had been an idiot, he would’ve sensed that something was off.
An Yi tossed him a communication stone. “This can sense my location. It’ll come in handy when you need to find me.”
Ye Tian held the stone, a smile spreading across his face. “Not bad. Pretty interesting.”
“All right. Get some rest. I’m going to check on Changfeng and the others.”
After eating and drinking his fill, An Yi wiped his mouth and prepared to leave.
“Wait. There’s one more thing.”
Ye Tian hurriedly called out to him.
An Yi turned back in confusion.
“Give me back my indenture contract!”
An Yi: “…”
…
“Who was cooking in the infirmary? The smell is so strong it won’t go away.”
“Damn it! If I find out who it was, I’ll crack his skull open!”
An Yi walked through the crowd of grumbling physicians without changing expression, ignoring every word.
The moment the physicians passing by saw him, however, they quickly greeted him.
“Instructor An Yi, you’re here!”
“Instructor An Yi, that outfit looks incredibly sharp today. You look so impressive and heroic!”
Nearly everyone believed An Yi would become the academy’s next dean. For a time, they treated him with the utmost respect.
An Yi gave them all a warm smile before arriving at the room where Gu Changfeng and Ning Er were staying.
Ning Er’s voice could be heard from inside.
“Speaking of our Asura Sect, it’s absolutely badass! Our Boss is unquestionably the number one man. He can… Anyway, he’s really amazing.”
“What I actually wanted to talk about is First Elder Lin Chen, known as the God of Death! He never smiles. I’ve never seen him make any other expression.”
“Second Elder Bai Xiu is even more impressive. He can sleep for several months straight without eating or using the bathroom. Other than snoring, he doesn’t do a thing.”
“Third Elder Chen Bing is amazing when it comes to pushing up his glasses. He does it once every ten seconds on average, and then…”
Bang!
The door flew open, and An Yi walked in with a dark expression.
The room was packed with people, all students from the special admissions class. Every one of them was listening with great interest.
When Ning Er saw An Yi, he waved cheerfully. “Boss, I’m telling these students about our Asura Sect.”
What the hell are you telling them?!
An Yi was furious.
What an idiot!
On the bed beside him, Gu Changfeng’s throat had been cut, so he couldn’t speak. He could only gesture at An Yi.
“I didn’t realize the Asura Sect was so powerful. Can I join?” Zhang Qi asked seriously.
An Yi was speechless. “How did you get ‘formidable’ from that?”
“Ding! [Swordmaster Zhang Qi] has requested to join the Asura Sect! Accept?”
The system’s voice rang out.
An Yi’s expression froze.
Yan Kui grinned, flashing a mouthful of white teeth, and raised his hand. “I want to join too.”
“Ding! [Thunder Savage Yan Kui] has requested to join the Asura Sect! Accept?”
Liu Yu smiled faintly. “I’d like to give it a try too.”
“Ding! [Dark Blade Liu Yu] has requested to join the Asura Sect! Accept?”
“Ding! [Ice Maiden Qiansui] has requested to join the Asura Sect! Accept?”
“Ding!…”
A continuous stream of system notifications left An Yi completely dumbfounded.
Could someone please tell him what the hell was going on?

s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money.

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
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.
