The Main World of the Server.
Countless screens cycled endlessly in the air, watched thoughtfully by the Remnant Spirit of the Heavenly Dao.
"Will all of these... eventually converge at a single point?"
The Heavenly Dao Remnant seemed to have discerned something, murmuring to itself.
"Correct."
Lu Ze, standing behind it, nodded.
"So, what is the ending?"
The Heavenly Dao Remnant suddenly became interested.
"Why don't you go try it yourself?"
Lu Ze was amused; he was actually quite curious about how the Heavenly Dao Remnant would perform if it assumed the role of Li Ang.
"Forget it, this Heavenly Dao is not that interested."
The Heavenly Dao Remnant turned its head away.
The mere thought of that infuriating Character Behavior System restricting its actions caused the naturally unrestrained spirit to lose all interest.
"By the way, speaking of the ending..."
Lu Ze suddenly remembered something interesting. He smiled and patted the Heavenly Dao Remnant on the shoulder.
"Perhaps it can help you recover some of your power."
"Recover power? Relying on a mere illusion?"
The Heavenly Dao Remnant asked in astonishment.
Some time ago, in a fit of rage, it had crippled the cultivation of a Limitless Sword Sect elder from thousands of miles away, causing its already fragmented form to suffer further damage.
To recover, it needed an abnormally vast amount of Spiritual Qi.
In a mere illusion, where would one find so many cultivators? And what would make those cultivators willingly offer up their own Spiritual Qi?
"Soon, you will understand..."
Lu Ze smiled mysteriously.
Among the countless screens in the sky, many cultivators had already entered the plot of the final chapter.
There, a "gift" he had meticulously prepared for the cultivators awaited them...
"The evaluation event over in Xianyuan Continent has begun. I'll go play with those old fellows for a bit..."
...
...
Inside Zhong Yi's Illusion Realm.
The sprawling inn had transformed into a battlefield.
Facing the siege of countless experts without the aid of the [Blood Curse], Zhong Yi found the resistance particularly arduous.
At this difficulty level, even players as strong as Zhou Yue and Li Moran were firmly suppressed, forced to fight while retreating, desperately seeking a means of escape.
At this moment, Zhong Yi's Health and Spiritual Qi were nearly depleted. He looked like a candle in the wind, struggling to flee into a deathly silent corner.
"Blood, the blood of righteous cultivators..."
As if remembering something, Zhong Yi grabbed a jar, intending to collect the blood of the Demon Suppression Bureau soldiers to activate the [Blood Curse].
He poured the blood into his mouth and attempted to use the [Blood Curse] again, but he received only a failure notification.
"Don't waste your energy... That old thing has already played your trump card."
A chillingly cold voice came from behind Zhong Yi.
He turned abruptly, only to look straight into Shi Dan's cold, bloody pupils.
"We used techniques to destroy your hoarded blood long ago... Furthermore, all of my subordinates have taken medicine in advance to ensure their blood cannot be used by you."
Shi Dan grinned savagely as he pulled a vial of magic potion from his chest, downed it in one gulp, and looked at Zhong Yi with mockery.
"Let me remind you of one more thing... Not only will that blood fail to activate your Blood Curse, it is even toxic..."
As soon as his words fell, Zhong Yi felt a sudden wave of dizziness, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out violently.
On his interface, a string of DEBUFFs like [Poisoned], [Weakened], and [Silenced] appeared.
"Come on, aren't you quite capable of killing?"
Shi Dan grinned, his cultivation aura having already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He blasted a fist toward Zhong Yi. The latter hurriedly blocked but was still sent flying, his health bar dropping by another large chunk.
"Did you know? I really enjoy the expression of fear on a prey's face when they are being tortured... So, you had better keep a straight face; that way, you might die a bit faster."
Shi Dan toyed with a broad saber in his hand. The sharp blade was engraved with dense, packed runes, clearly marking it as no ordinary object.
"Do you really feel no fear? What a boring hunt..."
Seeing Zhong Yi's utter lack of fear, Shi Dan shrugged in disappointment.
By now, Zhong Yi's status had entered the near-death state, and his vision was severely affected.
He could only see a gleaming blade tip flashing with blinding cold light.
"What a dull person... Die."
Shi Dan's whispered words pronounced Zhong Yi's death sentence.
'Time to start over... I must have done something wrong somewhere.'
Zhong Yi closed his eyes resignedly.
There was no anticipated pain, no [Illusion Ended] notification, no black screen of zero health, no death...
"Drip"...
A drop of scalding liquid fell onto Zhong Yi's chest.
Zhong Yi opened his eyes in confusion.
A blood-red flower bloomed upon his chest.
Su Di'er stood before him. The incredibly sharp runic blade had pierced through her chest, carrying a cruel, blood-red sheen.
Blood dripped onto his chest, drop by drop, and then, as if it could not be stopped, it gushed out.
An intense pain churned in Zhong Yi's heart.
It was clearly an illusion, yet it hurt so much he could not speak, could not even breathe.
"Su, Su..."
His lips trembled. The young girl before him summoned all her strength to squeeze out a faint smile.
"I knew... you would lie to me..."
Su Di'er reached out a hand stained with her own blood and gently caressed the corner of Zhong Yi's mouth.
"Li Ang..."
"You said you would accompany me to fly far away, to see the myriad rivers and mountains... right?"
An immense heartache instantly seized Zhong Yi's brain.
At that moment, a cold wind whistled, kicking up countless debris.
Pages of paper, burnt and tattered by fire, danced in the air.
The girl's graceful handwriting was clearly visible—
[August 30th]
[I want to be with Li Ang forever]
As the blade was withdrawn from her chest, the girl fell into Zhong Yi's embrace like a kite with a broken string.
Blood flowed into Zhong Yi's lips; tears surged from the corners of his eyes.
[Absorbed usable Righteous Blood. Do you wish to use the skill "Blood Curse"?]
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
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?
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.
