A pillar of golden light descended from the deepest depths of the firmament.
There was no roar of thunder, nor the ravages of a spiritual energy storm.
This light was quiet, pure, and carried a grand, unquestionable will.
It pierced through the blood-red trapping and killing array above the ancient battlefield ruins as easily as piercing through a thin layer of paper.
The pillar of light landed on the plains three miles away from Shen Fei.
The light gradually faded.
A slender figure took shape in the afterglow of the light.
He wore a pure white robe devoid of any patterns, his black hair cascading over his shoulders. His face was so handsome it seemed unearthly, and within his eyes, it was as if stars were being born and destroyed, and the sun and moon were revolving.
He did not stand on the ground, but hovered three feet in the air.
There was no spiritual glow of any magical treasures around him, but just by standing there, the surrounding laws of space automatically submitted and bent to him.
The Son of Destiny.
The true core of providence for this region, and even the entire Upper Realm in this era.
He did not fly over from some top-tier holy land.
He was directly dropped here by the Will of the Heavenly Dao in this almost descending manner.
Ding!
In Shen Fei's mind, the system blared an unprecedentedly harsh alarm.
Maximum Level Threat Warning!!!
Target Locked: Son of Destiny.
Current Cultivation: Half-step Void Refinement Realm!
Core Tags: Bearer of the World's Core Providence, Agent of the Heavenly Dao.
Special Status: Blessing of the Heavenly Dao. Forms an Absolute Law Domain within a one-thousand-step radius. All power not recognized by the Heavenly Dao will be forcibly suppressed!
The system's text turned a piercing blood red.
Shen Fei stood beside the mutilated corpse of Patriarch Taixuan.
He looked at the white-robed figure three miles away.
He did not run away, nor did he immediately launch an attack.
He took a step forward.
Stepping on the blood and shattered bones covering the ground, he walked step by step toward the Son of Destiny.
One mile.
Two miles.
The moment Shen Fei stepped into the one-thousand-step radius of the Son of Destiny.
Buzz!
A pressure so heavy it defied description descended upon Shen Fei without warning.
This was no ordinary spiritual pressure.
This was the laws of the entire world rejecting him.
Shen Fei felt the Heavenly Demon spiritual energy in his body act like gears filled with cement; its circulation speed plummeted instantly.
His early-stage Soul Formation cultivation began to drop uncontrollably under the forced suppression of these laws.
Early-stage Soul Formation... Peak Nascent Soul... Late-stage Nascent Soul...
Finally.
It firmly stuck at the level of Peak Golden Core.
This was his realm from two years ago, right when he had just ascended to the Upper Realm.
The Heavenly Dao, in the most unreasonable manner, had directly stripped away all of his cultivation accumulation from the past two years.
The two righteous path elders kneeling on the ground, who had been planted with Life and Death Talismans, saw this scene, and a flash of wild joy appeared in their eyes.
It is the Son of Destiny! The Heavenly Dao has sent the Son of Destiny to suppress this demon!
They seemed to see the hope of survival.
Shen Fei ignored the clamoring of those two pieces of trash.
He stopped walking.
Standing five hundred steps away from the Son of Destiny.
He looked down at his hands.
The spiritual energy fluctuations of a Peak Golden Core were pitifully weak.
But the expression on his face remained as calm as a pool of stagnant water. No panic, no anger.
He raised his head and looked at the white-robed Son of Destiny ahead.
The Son of Destiny also looked at him.
In those eyes that seemed able to see through all karma in the world, there was no hatred, nor anger.
There was only a lofty indifference, like a god looking down upon an ant.
Shen Fei.
The Son of Destiny spoke. His voice was ethereal and fleeting, as if echoing from all directions simultaneously.
You do not belong to this realm.
You have disrupted the order of this region, slaughtered countless cultivators who followed their destiny, and devoured providence that does not belong to you.
Your existence is an anomaly to the Heavenly Dao.
The Son of Destiny slowly raised his right hand.
At his fingertips, a ball of pure white law light condensed.
The Heavenly Dao does not allow anomalies to exist.
Today, I carry out punishment on behalf of heaven. I bestow upon you the destruction of both your body and soul.
The Son of Destiny's tone was steady, just like reading a final, conclusive verdict.
Shen Fei listened to these words.
Standing in the domain of law suppression, his back remained perfectly straight.
The Heavenly Dao does not allow it.
Shen Fei repeated these words.
The corner of his mouth slowly twitched.
I know.
Shen Fei looked at the Son of Destiny, his eyes revealing a brutality even colder than the Heavenly Dao.
But what does it matter to me whether it allows it or not?
As his voice fell.
In his mind, Shen Fei opened the system shop.
He looked at the staggering amount of villain points accumulated in his account over the past few months.
Without the slightest hesitation.
He emptied it all.
Ding!
Points deducted successfully.
Successfully exchanged for the ultimate one-time item: Heavenly Demon Black Abyss!
Item Description: Upon activation, Heavenly Demon spiritual energy will transform into an Absolute Devouring Domain. Within the domain, all law suppressions are rendered invalid! The flow of all providence will be forcibly reversed! All locked targets cannot resist being devoured by any means!
Duration: Three minutes.
This was Shen Fei's ultimate trump card saved for this world.
Activate.
Shen Fei coldly shouted in his heart.
Boom!
Within Shen Fei's body, the Heavenly Demon spiritual energy that had been suppressed to Peak Golden Core underwent an extremely terrifying qualitative change in this instant!
A pure black abyssal domain that seemed capable of swallowing even light itself.
With Shen Fei at the center.
Explosively burst open!
The Black Abyss expanded outward at extreme speed.
When it came into contact with the Absolute Law Domain released by the Son of Destiny.
There was no violent collision.
Instead, like a hot knife cutting through butter, it directly crushed that layer of law suppression representing the Will of the Heavenly Dao inch by inch!
Crack... crack...
The crisp sound of shattering laws echoed above the plains.
Under the cover of the Black Abyss, Shen Fei's cultivation instantly recovered to the early-stage Soul Formation realm!
Not only that.
The Black Abyss continued to expand, directly enveloping the Son of Destiny five hundred steps away completely within it!
On the Son of Destiny's face, which had always been as placid as an ancient well, a drastic change finally appeared.
He was shocked to discover that his connection with the Heavenly Dao had actually been forcefully severed by this black domain!
The Blessing of the Heavenly Dao he was so proud of had failed.
What kind of demonic art is this?!
For the first time, the Son of Destiny lost his composure, his voice carrying a trace of unconcealable panic.
A demonic art that eats people.
Shen Fei's voice echoed in the Black Abyss.
He took a step forward.
Walking toward the Son of Destiny.
With every step he took, the devouring power of the Black Abyss increased by a fraction.
The Son of Destiny felt the spiritual energy, vitality, and even the soul within his body flowing out uncontrollably.
He desperately circulated his Half-step Void Refinement cultivation, trying to resist this devouring power.
Destiny protects my body! Ten thousand laws cannot invade!
The Son of Destiny roared, and a blinding white light erupted around him, attempting to forcefully break open the bindings of the Black Abyss.
But it was useless.
Under the absolute devouring rules of the Heavenly Demon Black Abyss.
His resistance was like trying to block a bursting flood with his bare hands.
Completely futile.
Shen Fei walked right in front of the Son of Destiny.
The distance between the two was less than a single step.
Shen Fei looked at this perfect masterpiece chosen by the Heavenly Dao.
He slowly raised his right hand.
He did not use any martial skills, nor did he summon any magical treasures.
He simply placed his palm against the chest of the Son of Destiny.
"Heavenly Demon Devour."
Shen Fei coldly spat out these four words.
Boom!
The devouring power of the Black Abyss reached its peak at this moment!
This time, Shen Fei's target was not just the half-step Void Refinement Realm cultivation origin of the Son of Destiny.
His target was the Great Dao providence within the Son of Destiny, which represented the core will of this world!
"Ah!!!"
The Son of Destiny let out a miserable shriek.
Under the pull of the devouring power, his half-step Void Refinement Realm physical body began to violently twist and deform.
He fought back desperately, smashing punch after punch into Shen Fei's body.
The dying counterattack of a half-step Void Refinement Realm expert possessed terrifyingly peerless power.
Deep, bone-revealing cracks continuously appeared on Shen Fei's Heavenly Demon Body, and blood surged wildly.
But he did not take a single step back.
He forcefully withstood the attacks of the Son of Destiny, his right hand firmly glued to the other's chest.
Enduring the damage, he devoured frantically!
Two minutes and forty seconds.
The duration of the Black Abyss was about to end.
Just then.
Buzz!
An extremely dazzling, pure golden stream of light.
It was forcefully extracted from the body of the Son of Destiny by Shen Fei!
This was the core providence of the world!
It was the ultimate trump card bestowed upon the Son of Destiny by the Heavenly Dao to suppress Shen Fei.
Now.
It was forcibly stripped away by the villain!
The golden stream of light flowed along Shen Fei's arm and surged madly into his body.
The light in the eyes of the Son of Destiny completely dimmed at this moment.
He looked at Shen Fei, his eyes filled with bewilderment and despair.
He felt as though his destiny had been forcefully snatched from his hands.
"You win..."
The Son of Destiny muttered to himself as his body collapsed limply.
Three minutes were up.
The Heavenly Demon Black Abyss shrank and disappeared.
Shen Fei stood in place.
Covered in blood.
But he did not fall.
The system's cold settlement notification sounds frantically spammed his mind:
[Ding!]
[Successfully devoured the origin of the Son of Destiny!]
[Great Dao providence stripping complete! The world's core providence now belongs to the host!]
[Congratulations to the host!]
[Cultivation breakthrough: Mid-stage Soul Formation... Late-stage Soul Formation... Peak Soul Formation!]
[Broke through the major realm barrier!]
[Current cultivation: Early-stage Void Refinement!]
Rumble!
A terrifying coercion, hundreds and thousands of times stronger than before, erupted from Shen Fei's body into the sky!
Void Refinement Realm!
He finally stood at the true pinnacle of this domain, and even the entire Upper Realm!
Shen Fei closed his eyes, feeling the vast, star-sea-like power within his body.
Right at this moment.
On the system panel, a hidden prompt message he had never seen before popped up from the deepest depths:
[Heavenly Dao origin trace revealed:]
[The Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm is essentially a massive aggregate of providence.]
[The reason Li Miaoyuan was forcibly guided and protected by the Heavenly Dao is that he carried the exclusive providence mark used by the Heavenly Dao to counter the host.]
[From the moment the host stepped into the Upper Realm, the Heavenly Dao had classified you as an anomaly threat. The Son of Destiny was the final defense line arranged by the Heavenly Dao.]
Shen Fei looked at this prompt.
He slowly opened his eyes.
A cold light of realization flashed through his pitch-black eyes.
"So that's how it is."
From the very beginning, the Heavenly Dao knew he would come.
From the very beginning, this was an encirclement campaign targeting him.
The system was a variable tool created by some higher-dimensional will to counter the singularity of the Heavenly Dao.
And he, Shen Fei.
Was the carrier of this variable.
Shen Fei lowered his head and looked at the corpse of the Son of Destiny at his feet, which was gradually turning into flying ash.
He turned his head.
And looked at the two righteous path elders who had long collapsed to the ground in terror.
"Go back and tell those sects behind you."
Shen Fei's voice echoed across the empty plains.
"This sky has a new master."
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.
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?!”
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] ...

] 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.
