Luofeng Continent, Spirit-Binding Mountain Range.
Among the countless overlapping, towering mountain peaks, there was a flat expanse of land carved out by supreme power.
The leader of the Illusion Alliance, Inner Demon, stood in mid-air. Like a black hole, he absorbed all the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.
Below him was an incredibly massive array, glowing with crystal-clear moonlight.
It was the Heaven and Earth Four Symbols array he used for divination and seeking the truth.
At the four corners of the array sat four elders of the Illusion Alliance.
Anyone who could secure a position as an elder of the Illusion Alliance was no ordinary mortal. All of them were cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm, powerful enough to serve as elders even in the five great sects.
Even for elders with extraordinary strength, maintaining the spiritual energy consumption of the array was somewhat overwhelming. Rakshasa on the eastern side, who had the lowest cultivation base, looked extremely pale at this moment.
As the Heaven and Earth Four Symbols array operated smoothly, Inner Demon took out the illusion crystal of Operation Xianyuan Continent and placed it in the center of the array.
"Release!"
Inner Demon shouted softly.
Boundless spiritual energy surged madly from his body into the array. The soul of the Heavenly Spirit Body at the center of the array was now flashing with a dazzling blue light.
For a moment, heaven and earth seemed to be imprisoned, and the flow of all things became incredibly slow.
After an unknown amount of time, this suffocating feeling finally dissipated.
The Heaven and Earth Four Symbols array shattered with a loud bang.
The elders sitting at the four corners finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Lord Alliance Leader, how is the situation?"
Blood Crow tossed a pill into his mouth, and after recovering a few breaths of spiritual energy, he hurriedly asked.
Originally, the matter of the Heaven and Earth Four Symbols was not so urgent.
But no one could have imagined that the momentum of Operation Xianyuan Continent would be so fierce.
In just three days, the major sects could no longer control it.
The disciples were fighting to play it!
If this trend continued, the top spot of Venerable of the Eight Directions would not be secured!
Therefore, Inner Demon prepared the materials overnight and called the four elders to the Luofeng Continent to set up the array in advance.
Using heaven and earth as the array, and the soul of the Heavenly Spirit Body as the core...
Generally speaking, this was meant to break some kind of restriction or deduce a certain cultivation method.
A year ago, probably no one would have thought that making such a big fuss was just to crack a seemingly game-like illusion.
There was no helping it, the world had changed.
The Heavenly Dao had also changed.
"The information... is still fragmented."
The air around Inner Demon was somewhat oppressive, and his cold words made the four elders tremble in their hearts.
Ever since the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao announced that it was taking over the illusions, the illusions had been covered by a wondrous Dao rhythm.
They speculated that this was one of the reasons why the illusions were difficult to crack.
Moreover, Lu Ze's illusions were much harder to crack than anyone else's.
Everyone thought that the Heavenly Dao was playing favorites.
Little did they know, it was actually the encryption technology Lu Ze obtained from his system that played a major role.
"Perhaps it's because of the sub-crystal? How about I use some methods to get the mother crystal..."
Rakshasa's words were cut off halfway by Inner Demon.
"There's no need... we still got some useful information."
Inner Demon was ultimately somewhat apprehensive about striking directly from within the Lingxiao Sect.
Besides, he still had some confidence in the quality of Venerable of the Eight Directions.
"According to the deduction of the Heavenly Spirit Body, there are four key pieces of information hidden in Operation Xianyuan Continent... but I only obtained two."
"The first is currency, and the second is tomb raiding."
"There is also one that I boldly guess is that so-called firearm thing... as for the last one, I cannot figure it out."
After hearing Inner Demon's sharing, the four elders frowned and began to ponder.
"Currency? What does this mean?"
"Perhaps it refers to an independent currency system?"
"This currency system is not novel. Those previous ones where you had to independently acquire currency in every match were the weird ones..."
"Then what about tomb raiding?"
"Touching treasures really does make one's heart flutter... this must be added."
"We can add it, but don't copy that kid surnamed Lu... always coming up with some mortal mundane items, it shows a lack of vision."
"I agree with this point. We can replace them with high-level cultivation methods or magical treasures."
"Leave this to me, I am good at this!"
"Firearms... I personally feel they are a failure. What do you all think?"
"If we replace firearms with conventional spell combat, I think it would be even more wonderful!"
...
The four elders discussed enthusiastically.
Inner Demon listened from the side, nodding frequently.
The five of them had high attainments in the field of illusions, and they quickly reached a consensus.
The currency system had to be copied, and it was very simple.
Tomb raiding also had to be done.
But it couldn't be like Operation Xianyuan Continent, where items were rotated grid by grid.
According to their experience, once such a unique design was copied exactly, they would definitely be heavily punished by the Heavenly Dao.
The firearm system would not be touched at all. Instead, the weapon and skill systems of Venerable of the Eight Directions would be added in their original flavor.
As for the last element that had not been deduced, the few of them had no definite idea for the time being, so they had to let it go.
"You have all worked hard, elders."
After confirming the direction of the new mode, Inner Demon's tone finally softened a bit.
"From now on, the immortal destiny will be taken over by you and me."
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."
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
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.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
