As a regular visitor of Zhong Yi's group of four, Lu Ze naturally had all the livestream permissions enabled.
At this moment, quite a few onlookers from the sect had gathered in Zhou Qiaoling's world.
[Where is this? A village?]
[Wow, Old Demon Lu’s world is surprisingly well-built.]
[Given the previous illusion’s difficulty, these villagers are probably all demonic cultivators…]
[The villagers’ houses look way better than Senior Brother Zhong’s constructions.]
...
A few villagers chatting at the village entrance glanced at Zhou Qiaoling as she emerged from the ground, then went back to their conversation.
They didn’t seem hostile.
This put Zhou Qiaoling at ease.
"Wow!! Wheat fields… and they even raise livestock!"
Zhou Qiaoling’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at the farmland and pastures nearby.
She felt like she hadn’t just arrived at some village—she’d stumbled upon a treasure trove!
"Hey, neighbor! Neighbor?"
Zhou Qiaoling stepped forward, trying to greet them.
The villagers gave her a puzzled look before turning away to mind their own business.
"Oh, so they’re mute…"
Zhou Qiaoling mused, then suddenly grinned mischievously.
Without looking back, she dashed straight toward the farmland and pastures at the end of the path.
"Your wheat fell on the ground—mind if I harvest it for you?"
She cleared her throat and announced loudly.
No one responded.
"Since I’m cutting your wheat for you, taking one little chick as payment isn’t too much to ask, right??"
She raised her voice again.
A passing villager glanced at her before hurrying away.
"No answer means you agree~~"
Zhou Qiaoling cheerfully punched a small white chicken a few times.
The chick instantly turned into raw chicken meat.
Without hesitation, she stuffed it into her mouth.
The raw meat didn’t restore much hunger, and her health remained low.
Now, she set her sights on a nearby piglet.
"Gulp~"
Zhou Qiaoling swallowed hard as she eyed the pink little pig.
The cultivators in this world were still too new to gaming, unable to shake off their sense of shame just yet.
She opened the fence gate, walked in, and deliberately bumped into the piglet.
"Ouch!! Your pig just rammed into me—it nearly took my last bit of health! I’ll have to punish this wild beast now, no objections, right??"
Zhou Qiaoling put on another theatrical performance.
Still, no one answered.
"Ah, the neighbors here are all reasonable folks—silence means consent…"
With a clear conscience, she swung her blade, and pork was promptly added to her inventory.
The livestream chat couldn’t hold back anymore.
[Bullying mute villagers, are we?]
[Have some decency.]
[This feels… against our ancestors’ teachings…]
[Eh, it’s fine. These villagers have no intelligence—they’re just NPCs anyway.]
...
"Ugh, raw meat barely fills me up. I need to craft a furnace to cook it."
Just as Zhou Qiaoling was about to set up a furnace on the spot, she noticed a villager stepping out of a house across the path.
Her sharp eyes immediately spotted a furnace inside.
"Neighbor, we’re all friends here—mind if I borrow your furnace?~"
Zhou Qiaoling beamed and hurried into the house.
Upon entering, she was stunned to find not just a furnace but also a treasure chest.
As if possessed, she walked up to the chest and opened it.
Her eyes nearly popped out at the sight of a full set of iron gear and five iron ingots inside.
At this point, any sense of righteous morality or the Lingxiao Sect’s discipline flew out the window.
"I’m rich, I’m rich~~"
Zhou Qiaoling stuffed everything into her backpack—even breaking the chest itself to take it along.
The livestream chat completely lost it.
[Junior Sister Zhou, we’re a righteous sect!!]
[What kind of demonic behavior is this??]
[...But it’s kinda satisfying.]
[Did a demonic cultivator just raid the village??]
[You can’t just take everything for free!]
[If you borrow something, return it—that’s how you keep borrowing!]
...
"Hmm, fair point."
After reading the chat, Zhou Qiaoling pondered for a moment before rummaging through her backpack.
She then placed a single piece of cobblestone where the chest had been.
"Neighbor, your chest got hit by a petrification spell! I’ll undo it once I ascend to immortality!"
With a cheeky wave to the villager outside, she excitedly opened the team voice chat to announce her windfall to the other three.
"Senior Brother, Big Bro, get over here!! I found a village full of amazing loot!! I’m loaded now!!!"
Zhou Yue couldn’t help but ask, "Villagers? They’re not attacking you?"
"Nope! They’re super generous—they give me everything! My backpack’s literally full!"
Zhou Qiaoling replied without a hint of shame.
The chat erupted in disbelief.
[Generous?? Are you sure???]
[Redefining ‘generous’ over here.]
[Only Old Demon Lu’s illusions could corrupt our morals like this!]
[Villagers: Stay away from us!!]
[Came here thinking the villagers were demons—turns out we’re the demons.]
...
Reassured by Zhou Qiaoling’s answer, Zhou Yue finally stepped out from behind the bushes where he’d been hiding.
"So these are just villagers? And they’re friendly?"
Zhou Yue sighed in relief and swaggered into the open.
"Hey there, neighbor~~"
He waved at a nearby "villager" dressed in black robes.
"Take me to your village, will ya? My friend’s waiting for me there!"
The illusion world’s technical prowess was impressive.
Zhou Yue’s dopey grin was perfectly rendered on his pixelated character’s face.
The response? Two purple-tipped arrows.
"..."
His smile froze.
"What the—?? Aren’t villagers supposed to be allies???"
Zhou Yue panicked and quickly asked in the team chat:
"Little Sis, are the villagers’ faces black?"
"Of course not! What, you think they look like you?"
"???"
Zhou Yue tried to fight back, but his opponents were armed with enchanted crossbows!
Even the arrows hitting him carried a poison effect!
His movements slowed to a crawl.
The ones at the back were holding talismans, faint traces of basic formations flickering around them.
Zhou Yue’s lips twitched violently:
"This illusion is rigged!!!"
[“Unbreakable Resolve” was slain by demonic guards!]
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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."
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
