The year is 2045, and the world has been consumed by the neverending apocalypse, a terrible doomsday event that has destroyed the once precious home. Joshei, our main protagonist, has the last chance to save everyone again, by going back in time. Will his hatred for the ignorant world and gods consume him? Or will his desires and secret powers be able to triumph and help everyone he wants to? Many secrets are still left unsolved, but can he be the one, to save the world.....Rank Up!

On an island that gifts incredible powers, not all of us are content with the life we have. Though some have mastery over the elements, transform their bodies or even prevent and cure diseases; life grows stale for those who aspire for greater meaning to their life.

We move the island so we won't be found. We do it because we can and because the alternative is to allow the world into our secret. If we're found then we would have to contend with those who would hate and fear us for what we can do. It hasn't always been like this but those who remember the time before are nearly all gone.

Some believe we should stay secluded, inaccessible to those on the outside and others that we should use the gifts we have to heal the world. I thought I knew what I believed, until a dark truth was thrust upon me and I was faced with the choice between what I believed was right and what those in power say we must do.

MC gets scammed by God (maybe) and is reincarnated into the Naruto world with a few gifts.

"Crimson Stone Fort is currently extremely chaotic with quite a few factions that aren't on good terms with no apparent authority at all. They are also losing their control over Danyang Holy Domain. Due to this, Crimson Stone Fort has set many rules that don't make sense. These inspectors won't dare to act so unscrupulously when collecting benefits in the past, but now they have no qualms at all."
"If that inspector just now has a good backer, he could really use his authority to increase the Northern Darkstar Territory's levy," said Cang Heng.
Jian Wushuang frowned slightly.
He also knew the Crimson Stone Fort was being torn apart since the falling of Crimson Stone Saint. Although Crimson Stone Saint's daughter, Yin Su'er controlled the Crimson Stone Fort, she did not have much power and was in a very bad situation.
Nonetheless, Jian Wushuang had not expected that Yin Su'er was in such hot soup.
There were so many factions within Crimson Stone Fort competing with one another. No wonder it was in a mess.
"Northern Darkstar Territory is a huge Stellar Region after all. The amount of money paid by those sects and clans every thousand years will be an astronomical figure and under normal circumstances, even obtaining the remaining thirty percent was quite a lot for an ordinary Earth Ultimate God after handing seventy percent over to Crimson Stone Fort. However, if the levy is increased by another twenty percent and becomes ninety percent instead you will only obtain the piteous amount of ten percent."
Jian Wushuang squinted his eyes and then looked at Cang Heng. "I only need to pay the levy every thousand years to Crimson Stone Fort while the wealth I gained by other means such as gifts from the clans after becoming the Territorial Lord is not included to be levied, right?"
"Of course." Cang Heng nodded. "Except for the every thousand-year levy, the wealth you have accumulated on your own regardless of the reason had nothing to do with Crimson Stone Fort. As long as there's no chaos in Northern Darkstar Territory, you can accumulate wealth as you like. This is why many experts are very keen to be a Territorial Lord."
"That's good." Jian Wushuang smiled.
He did not care much about the every thousand-year levy.
A thousand years was too long after all and he would probably choose to leave the Northern Darkstar Territory before that time to explore bigger places. His strength would have also increased by multiple folds at that time and would not care for such meager money by that time.
He could care less whether the Inspector used despicable means to make things difficult for him.
He had chosen to be a Territorial Lord because it would help him to collect a large number of Primordial Stones in a short period which could be used to improve his strength.
"Commander Cang Heng, go and spread the news that I will host a banquet in this mansion half a month later. Every sect and clan in Northern Darkstar Territory is invited," said Jian Wushuang.
"Yes."
Cang Heng immediately went to work.
The various clans, sects, and powers in Northern Darkstar Territory's wilderness have long been informed that Jian Wushuang was about to become the new Territorial Lord. They had also prepared gifts with some even sending their people on standby at Northern Darkstar Territory for the news to be announced.
Therefore, those families and the sects in the wilderness began to act the very moment Cang Heng started spreading the news.
Half a month later, the Territorial Lord Mansion was filled with visitors.
All those sects from various wildernesses sent their gifts in advance.
Half a month later, Jian Wushuang held a large-scale banquet in the Territorial Lord Mansion.
All the clans within Northern Darkstar Territory were showing Jian Wushuang great courtesy by having either their clan leaders or very powerful people from their clans in attendance. Many other lonely experts had also attended the banquet.
As for those sects in the wilderness, only a few extremely strong sects managed to attend the banquet while those that failed to attend still sent gifts nonetheless.
The banquet was lively and lasted for a full day and night before everyone started leaving.
The Territorial Lord Mansion was quiet once again.
In the magnificent hall, Jian Wushuang sat there leaning on an armchair while Xiao Tiexin and Cang Heng stood in front of him.
"Xin'er, have you recorded all those gifts from the clans and sects?" Jian Wushuang asked.
Xiao Tiexin nodded before slowly said, "Yes, I've counted them. First of all, the cultivation resources include elixirs, various Ground Treasures, and Heavenly Treasures. There are also some divine weapons and armor with all added up to more than two million four hundred thousand Primordial Stones."
Jian Wushuang was stunned by the surprise.
"Furthermore, perhaps the news has spread far and wide that you prefer Primordial Stone hence those clans and sects of each wilderness sent a very large number of Primordial Stone which are much more than cultivation resources. They are worth six million eight hundred thousand Primordial Stones altogether!" Xiao Tiexin said.
"Six million eight hundred thousand? That much?" Jian Wushuang exclaimed and suddenly stood up.
Yes, it was quite a lot.
A total of six million eight hundred thousand!
Even their total assets of top-tier clans like Shi Clan, Wu Clan, and Situ Clan—excluding the Earth Ultimate Gods behind them—were estimated to be only about four to five million Primordial Stones.
He simply held a banquet after becoming the Territorial Lord and the results were gifts from those clans and sects which added up to 6,800,000 of Primordial Stones which were worth much more than assets of those top-tier clans.
If he counted the cultivation resources which were worth about 2,400,000 Primordial Stones. There were nearly 10,000,000 Primordial Stones!
He got nearly 10,000,000 Primordial Stones in one go from just a single banquet!
"No wonder so many people wanted the Territorial Lord position. What a great feeling to be a despot," murmured Jian Wushuang.
There were so many wildernesses under Northern Darkstar Territory. Take the Wusha Wilderness as an example, the Great Compassion Sect was the most powerful sect among the many sects in Wusha Wilderness and they paid up one thousand Primordial Stones every thousand years. The amount paid by those smaller sects might not be as much as the Great Compassionate Sect but were still worth a few hundred Primordial Stones for each of the sects. Each wilderness would have to pay around 20,000 to 30,000 Primordial Stones every thousand years after adding up every big and small sect.
The total amount added up from the many wildernesses was probably 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 Primordial Stones.
It should be more after including those clans within the Northern Darkstar Territory.
Although it was only a banquet held by the new Territorial Lord and not the real levy, those clans and sects were more generous as it was the first time they offered gifts to the new Territorial Lord. This was why Jian Wushuang received a huge sum of nearly ten million Primordial Stones!


Jian Wushuang was reborn in adversity. In order to get his revenge, he began to cultivate Heavenly Creation Skill. With the help of the Heaven defying cultivation method, Jian Wushuang gradually grew into a peerless genius from an ordinary practitioner. With a sword in hand, no one is his match. Using his extraordinary Sword Principle, he killed all his opponents and eventually became number one Sword Master from time immemorial.

The Austrian Open's results were predictable, as foreign players were not capable threats to Chinese brave warriors, and the National Team came home loaded with honors.
Dai Li again enjoyed experience rewards. After all, the Ping-Pong Austrian Open was an international contest, so the experience rewards were pretty high. Dai Li involuntarily sighed, deciding that, it was indeed a right choice to join in the National Ping-Pong Team.
With the blink of an eye, the year had come to an end. As the ITTF Tour Annual Final ended, the whole year's ping-pong games finished. Both players and coaches were sighing in relief. Athletes adjusted their conditions, or received medical treatments, since training intensity had apparently decreased.
But Zhizhong Gu was busier than usual. It was the end of the year, which was a good season for finding bargains on sponsorship fees.
Although General Admission of Sports offered a large amount of annual funds to the Ping-Pong Team, nobody disliked more money. Science, educational, and other social undertakings were bottomless holes, so no matter how much money one owned, it could be all spent.
Comparatively speaking, putting money on athletics could receive quicker results. As for the other undertakings, such as science, it was not rare to hear that people spent billions in research fees, but received nothing in return, sometimes even seeing the success rate be as low as winning a lottery.
As for education, even if one threw billions into it, results wouldn't show until many years later. As the saying goes, "It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to rear people".
No need to even introduce public health. If focusing simply on the medical aspect, which received annual funds of about five or six thousand billions, people still found it more difficult and expensive than common medical treatment.
In the sporting industry, the return of investment was pretty high and rapid. Even in advanced professional sport events, as long as a team was getting a good coach, some nice equipment, and reliable logistics service, soon the results would come.
As for game hosts, once they set a rather high reward, they could attract the world's best players, who could immediately raise the game level several tiers higher than before, and thus, get instant results.
At a National Team's level, anything cost money. Even though the team spent money without hesitation, they still put every cent into good use. Moreover, sponsor fees that they received would not all go into their own wallets, as a portion should always be submitted as a development fee for the ping-pong association.
What had to be admitted was that, in regards to the running of the ping-pong team's business, Zhizhong Gu really had something. At least in recent years, while it had been led by him, the team was never stressed for money.
These years, in addition to original fixed sponsors, new big sponsors joined in every year. Their comings brought sufficient benefits to the National Ping-Pong Team. Then, after tasting the sweetness of profits, every year at the end of the year, sponsorship negotiations became Zhizhon Gu's major work.
Furthermore, next year was the Olympic year, so the National Ping-Pong Team would definitely gain attention in the Olympic field. Thus, sponsorship should be higher than usual.
...
In the meeting room, Zhizhong Gu was holding a notebook in his hand, pouring out words.
"Recently several media outlets asked me to have exclusive interviews, not only for our players, but for coaches as well. You guys make some preparations for that, as this is not the first time you face reporters, you don't need me to emphasize any dos and don'ts again."
Zhizhong Gu turned to another page and said, "Moreover, a direct seeding software app wants to sponsor us, and they offer a good price. But the thing is, they want our main forces to make live broadcasts eight hours per month. I'd like to hear about your ideas."
"Live broadcast? Then our athletes will become internet celebrities, won't they?"
"I say it's doable. The key point is to give those wild boys something to do. They are only twenty years old, full of passion, and they don't lack money. If we leave them alone for a while, they would probably find some trouble. Then it would be better to let live broadcasts chain them up."
"But we should set rules for them beforehand, and make everything clear. Such as, what they can say, what they cannot. Otherwise, if they do whatever they want in the live broadcasts, they will cause negative effects to our team."
The crowd expressed their opinions, one by another, and soon the decision was made.
 ...
To National Ping-Pong Team players, being anchors in live broadcasts was a fresh thing to do. At the very beginning, the players were shy in the shows, but as time went by, they gradually got used to it.
Players in the National Ping-Pong Team, especially the main forces, had already gained sufficient experience in interviews. They even had experienced many nationwide live shows. Therefore, when facing audiences, they were quite open, and reacted naturally.
The live broadcasts had nice effects, especially when popular players like Pengfei Cui and Anshan Wang were in the show, they attracted a lot of attention from fans, and received generous gifts from the audience. Their popularity easily exceeded those internet celebrities.
Players occasionally broadcast for an hour, which didn't affect their training and competitions. Besides, in the Olympic Year, contests in the first half of the year were more important. Those competitions were like monthly tests before a college entrance exam, so players needed those contests to adjust their conditions.
In fact, at this time, the team had already decided participants for the Olympics. As time was fast approaching, it was impossible to change players right before the games. Therefore, the main forces showed up in the international arena frequently.
Dai Li was happy to see his trainees busy engaging in competitions. Once the National Ping-Pong Team's main force participated in international opens, winning the championship was a sure thing. Hence, Dai Li had gained plenty experience rewards, and was approaching an upgrade.
 ...
In the training field, the main force players stood in a line, listening to Zhizhong Gu's instruction: "Now let's talk about the love broadcast. The effect is good, and I noticed that you have attracted many fans, which means that more and more people will start paying attention to our team and ping-pong events. However, I have to point out some individuals' behaviors."
As he said this, Zhizhong Gu turned to Pengfei Cui and spoke in a serious tone, "Pengfei, you don't lack money, so why did you ask your fans for gifts? I heard that someone gave you gifts costing tens of thousands of yuan. You really think of yourself as an anchor, don't you?!"
Not only Pengfei Cui, but also the others all smiled embarrassingly. Zhizhong Gu paused, then said, "Let me emphasize the rule. Asking gifts from the audience is forbidden. You are athletes, not anchors, so you must obey strict disciplines. If the audience volunteers to buy you gifts, we are not able to stop them. But it's a totally different thing to ask for gifts from them."
Zhizhong Gu turned to now address Shuang Pang: "Pang, you were only broadcasting about five hours last month, which didn't reach the requirement. We signed on to broadcast eight hours per month. I checked your schedule for the recent two months, and you were not very busy. I have talked to the platform, and they'd like you to make up three hours this month."
Shuang Pang hesitated, struggled for a while, then finally nodded in agreement.
 ...
Dai Li went to pick up his package at the gate, and on his way back, he surprisingly saw that Shuang Pang stood alone on the balcony at the end of the walkway, looking bewildered.
"Hey Pang, what are you doing here?" Dai Li asked from afar.
"Nothing, nothing..." Shuang Pang replied awkwardly.
Dai Li walked close. He saw a phone in Shuang Pang's hands, immediately smiling: "You are going to make a live broadcast! Are you planning to make up the three hours you missed last month?"
The phone in Shuang Pang's hands was specialized for live broadcasting, as the team had bought it for the players. The phone had a big screen and a high pixel front camera, with automatic filter functions, hence, Dai Li recognized it at once.
"I..." Shuang Pang gnashed his teeth, then finally said, "Coach Li, to tell you the truth, I don't want to make a live broadcast!"
Dai Li was a little surprised, as in his mind, Shuang Pang was not a shy player. Besides, he hadn't reached age twenty yet, and most people his age tended to like live shows.
"Why?" Dai Li asked.
"In the broadcast, they all say that I'm always the second!" Shuang Pang replied painfully.


How could a poor graduate student without any background or connections become successful? With a coaching system? An upgrade? This is not a computer game, but real life we’re talking about!
 
This will be a fantasy based on reality. Dai Li will fight back against all those who would mock and humiliate him with his astonishing and awe-inspiring training skills. From a nobody he’ll try to become the most illustrious coach in the sports world, so join him in proving to everyone who’s the real master here!

Nangong Jing: "…"
Qiuyue Hesha: "…"
Lin Ling: "…"
The three people looked at Lu Ze speechlessly.
Nangong Jing rolled her eyes. "When people come to congratulate you on becoming Monarch of the New Dawn, they will be giving gifts to you…"
Qiuyue Hesha provided, "Every young duke celebration is akin to a gathering of Federal high-levels and prodigies. The gifts might not be extremely precious, but they will be rare."
Lin Ling: "…"
She looked strangely at Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha. These two big sisters understood Lu Ze so much.
Lu Ze's eyes lit up. He gritted his teeth. "Let's do it! I'll be asking for rare foods!!"
Nangong Jing, Qiuyue Hesha, and Lin Ling recognized such a look. They knew this guy's mind would veer in that direction.
Nangong Jing said, "As for treating them, the academic credits from Gracious System this time will be abundant. Lin Ling became a young duke, and Lu Ze, you became Monarch of the New Dawn, so you will receive a lot of academic credits each month. To us, academic credits aren't very useful. You can use it to buy some spirit fruits to treat the guests."
Lu Ze nodded. "I was thinking that too."
To them, they used red orbs for cultivation. Currently, they would only choose to spend their academic credits for buying materials, divine arts, and secret techniques.
 In Lu Ze's case, however, he could alternatively learn divine art from the pocket hunting dimension, so he had very limited use for academic credits.
He looked at Lin Ling. "Lin Ling, how about you ask for a rare food too?"
Lin Ling rolled her eyes and nodded helplessly.
She didn't care what she got. She had been using red orbs for cultivation as well. Accordingly, academic credits had very little use for her too.
Lu Ze smiled. "Since we have decided, let's have it next semester. We should do it as quickly as possible."
He was worried about progressing too fast and accidentally reaching the planetary state in half a year. By then, it would be awkward to still hold a young duke celebration. If that happened, he would lose his chance to acquire rare food.
Nangong Jing smiled and nodded. "The fox demon and I are well-versed in this. We can help."
Then, Nangong Jing put her arm around Lu Ze's neck and said, "Ze, let's negotiate. How about it?"
Lu Ze's body immediately tensed in vigilance. "What do you want?"
Did she want to beat him up again?
When he surpasses her in the future, he would be the one beating her to the ground!
Nangong Jing smiled. "It's not a big deal. Just let them add some wine in their gifts."
Qiuyue Hesha: "…"
Lin Ling: "…"
These two were the same.
Lu Ze grinned. This alcoholic was asking him for a favor, wasn't she?
"You want to have some wine?"
Nangong Jing quickly nodded. "Mhm!"
Lu Ze grinned. "Then, that will depend on your behavior."
Nangong Jing's smile froze, and she clenched her fist. "What behavior? I didn't hear it clearly."
Lu Ze: "…"
He glanced at the fist and said seriously, "I'm saying, you're going to help me organize the celebration. That's so hard. It's only natural that I should ask the guest to bring some wine as gifts!"
Nangong Jing silently took back her fists and smiled. "So it's decided then!"
Qiuyue Hesha and Lin Ling looked speechlessly at this interaction. This would probably be the strangest celebration for a monarch in Federal history, on top of being the first.
…
It would take five hours to get back to the Dawn System, so everyone returned to their rooms to cultivate.
On the bed, Lu Ze fell in contemplation. There were three weeks remaining until the end of the semester examinations. He had nothing to occupy him until then.
During this time, he needed to break through to the mortal evolution state and hone all his divine art to perfect mastery. At the same time, he needed to learn the divine art from the rabbit boss on the second map.
That divine art was stronger than the lightning spear and was capable of executing a large-scale attack. It would be quite beneficial to him on the third map.
Lu Ze thought about it. His reward this time probably included a time inside the dao enlightenment room. 
If he could go there, he should focus on learning divine art first.
For now, he should just concentrate on improving his cultivation level.
Lu Ze closed his eyes and used two special red orbs that were at level two of the mortal evolution state.
…
Five hours later, the ship left the warp dimension and flew toward planet Venus.
Lu Ze slowly opened his eyes and walked out of the room.
Yingying was sitting on the couch while watching cartoons. Nangong Jing, Qiuyue Hesha, and Lin Ling were still in their rooms.
Lu Ze sat next to Yingying. He then carried her in his arms and watched cartoons with her.
Soon, the doors to the other rooms opened. Nangong Jing and the rest walked out.
Seeing Yingying in Lu Ze's arms, the other three girls laughed.
Nangong Jing said, "Ze, you two look like a father-daughter pair."
Qiuyue Hesha nodded in agreement. "Indeed."
Lin Ling nodded too.
Lu Ze replied, "I'm still young. Yingying is, at most, like my little sister."
He even doubted himself. 
Did he look really old?
Yingying just kept watching cartoons.
Suddenly, their phones rang at the same time.
Qiuyue Hesha smiled. "It seems that the awards have arrived."
The four took out their phones. Lu Ze checked his reward. 
The rewards were divided into two parts. One part was his contribution to the Gracious and Ena Systems while the other part was the reward for his appointment as Monarch of the New Dawn. 
He was awarded 90 million academic credits for the war contribution, as well as 10 days in the dao enlightenment room and three planetary state Heaven Yang spirit fruits for cultivation.
Lu Ze was a little surprised by how much reward he got. Last time, the alcoholic and fox demon received 80 million academic credits, 10 days in the dao enlightenment room, and two planetary state cultivation fruits by virtue of their deeds in the Xigui System.
This meant that Lu Ze's reward was a little higher than what they gained at that time.
As for becoming Monarch of the New Dawn, the reward was equally bountiful. This entailed a private space ship, seven days in the dao enlightenment room, 30 million academic credits, as well as another 30 million academic credits every month until he reached the planetary state.
Lu Ze remembered that the salary for being a young duke was at least two million a month.
Although most young dukes wouldn't just receive 2 million, he wondered if there were people like him with 30 million.
He wanted to ask Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha how much they got each month, but he was scared of getting beaten up by those two, in case he had much more credits than them.
Nangong Jing, Qiuyue Hesha, and Lin Ling all smiled at their rewards. Clearly, they were very satisfied with them.
Nangong Jing smiled. "Fox demon, how are your rewards?"
Qiuyue Hesha grinned. "200 million academic credits, 1 month in the dao enlightenment room, 10 Heaven Yang spirit fruit, and one star forge fruit."
Nangong Jing's smile disappeared, and she sneered, "It's the same."
They were even again.
At this moment, Nangong Jing looked curiously at Lu Ze. "Ze, what is your reward?"


Lu Ze transmigrated to the interstellar era two thousand years later.
The previous owner of this body had lovey-dovey parents and a cute little sister. Although his cultivation talent was ordinary, his life was fulfilling. It could be said to be a dream start. Lu Ze was very happy.
However, as soon as he slept, he came to a strange dimension.
He almost got taken out trying to fight an one meter tall huge white rabbit. After making the arduous kill, Lu Ze found that things didn't seem to be so simple.
After killing prey in this dimension, he could get little orbs that could be used for cultivation.
This was going to make him an eternal jungler.
But he seemed to be able to hope for domination of the cosmos and invincibility?

The Sun had just rose. Since the creation of the perfect Foundational Dan, half a month had passed.

Because the abode Ling Xian was staying at was completely demolished, he temporarily moved to the mountain peak where Yun Yan stayed. 

Currently, he sat inside a newly built room, enlightening himself with the inheritance from the Immortal of Arrays. 

To him, the most important matter on hand was waiting for the opening of the Palace of Fortune and stealing the Yellow Fruit of Mystery. Then, he needed to break the Immortal Trap in order to reach the completion level right away. 

To achieve all his goals, he needed to work hard and thoroughly understand Feng Qing Ming’s inheritance. 

Currently, he was completely focused on the matters at hand. He was completely unaware of how much chaos the 36 islands were in because of him. 

He had no idea that a powerful alliance was on their way to challenge him. 

However, even if he knew, the most reaction he'll have would be a little surprised. Then, he would laugh at all this silliness and carry on with his business. 

After three years of solitude and training, Ling Xian has grown even more collected and his undefeatable mentality was even more polished. Why would he feel troubled by those who wanted to provoke him?

He didn’t care much for them. The stronger the opponent, the better for him. He would never quiver in fear because of an enemy’s capabilities. 

"Master, master."

A clear and crisp voice suddenly rung, awakening Ling Xian. 

He slowly lifted his head and gaped at the pretty young woman with a smile. "Ah, look at you. Ever since I moved here with you guys, you have called me Master hundreds of times. You really don’t let me quietly train do you?"

"Master, I am bothering you because I have something to discuss with you!" Yun Meng stuck out her tongue. Her movements were energetic and cute. 

Ling Xian shook his head helplessly and asked, "What is it?"

"What else? Someone else is here with gifts." Yun Meng giggled, her eyes flashed with proudness. 

Though those people weren’t here to visit her, in her mind, since Ling Xian was her Master, anyone visiting him made her feel proud.
"Not again…"

Ling Xian bitterly chuckled, getting a headache. 

Ever since he brewed a perfect Foundational Dan, everyone came to visit him. Whether it was morning or night, there was always a long line before his door. 

Though this was anticipated, when it actually happened, he was still deeply troubled. 

He had the intention to say no, but he could not handle everyone’s thick skin.

Remember that those people were of the powerful or of the wealthy!

They were all people with reputation and status. 

To see Ling Xian, they ditched their prestigious positions and had done every shameless thing possible. How could Ling Xian simply reject?

In the end, Ling Xian had to greet them all.

Once he started, he couldn’t stop. Without a reason to decline those who came after, he sustained a headache out of annoyance.

If Ling Xian’s actual thoughts were spread around, a countless number of cultivators would curse him for being unappreciative. 

To be visited by powerful figures with expensive gifts was a scenario every cultivator imagines and fights for!

If this event actually happens in their lives, they would wake up in the middle of the night laughing. 

But what about Ling Xian?

He has what everyone wants, but he was annoyed by it. How could others not be jealous?

Luckily, others will never be able to read his mind. If they could, many cultivators’ hearts would be broken out of jealousy. 

"Hehe, Master, you are getting annoyed, aren’t you?"

Looking at Ling Xian’s as-if-in-pain face, Yun Meng smirked, "What are you getting annoyed about? Just let those people come in, get the gifts, then shoo them away."

"You think I am greedy like you?" Ling Xian glared at her, "They are all trading their gifts for favors. Do you know what that means? You take their gifts today, you need to work for them tomorrow."

"So what, you have to. Setting up arrays or making Dans are easy for you," Yun Meng smirked again, she didn’t think any of this was a big deal. 
"Though that is the case, where would I find the time?" Ling Xian shook his head helplessly, "You think everyone’s like you? Who plays around daily and doesn’t work hard at all?"

"Psh..."

Yun Meng rolled her eyes and said, "Training is so boring. You are training day after day, are you not tired of it? playing around every day is free and fun."

"You… talking to you is wasteful." Ling Xian sighed and shifted his gaze to Yun Yan, "What good ideas do you have?"

"Hmm…" Yun Yan paused. Hesitantly, she suggested, "If you do not want to see those people, I can get them to go away."

"Do you have a way to solve the problem at the root?" Ling Xian asked. 

"You can claim that you are now in seclusion for cultivation purposes and do not want to see anyone," Yun Yan thought about it. 

Ling Xian was silent for a while. Based on the situation, this was the best idea right now. It would decline those people nicely and allow him some peace. 

"Okay, then it’s settled. Let’s do it that way," Ling Xian nodded softly, "Go tell everyone I am currently training for a new technique and I refuse to see anybody. Tell them to leave."

"Yes, I will do that now."

Yun Yan nodded and walked out of the house.

Seeing this, disappointment appeared on Yun Meng’s face. She said in a low voice, "Master, is this really ok? Everyone came with expensive gifts."

Perhaps she wanted to emphasize the important part of this matter, she enunciated the "expensive" part of her statement. 

Obviously, she wanted those gifts.

Ling Xian understood and laughed, "Girl, you really are stingy." 

"Stingy? I am economical. Master, I am thinking on your behalf. These are all gifts of great value, of great great value." Yun Meng pouted and drew a big circle with her arms to indicate how expensive those gifts were. 

"No matter how valuable they are, I do not need them. I can generate that wealth by selling a few Dans. There is no need to accept their gifts and owe them favors," Ling Xian faintly smiled, didn’t care much for those gifts. 

With his abilities today, what he was saying was no exaggeration. Putting aside his ancient array knowledge, his ability to easily brew seventh ranked Dan was enough to make him rich. 

It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to make the claim that his wealth was like a stream that never runs dry. He could have as much supply of spiritual stones as he wanted. Why would he care about these people’s offerings?

This was the difference in social status and capabilities. 

If this was anyone else, they would smile so much their lips couldn’t close if there were people lining up with gifts. They would want as much gift as possible. 

But Ling Xian thought of it as a headache and even annoyance. 

This was all because, with his status and capabilities, he doesn’t care about those things. 

One has to admit that Ling Xian’s transformation was far too aggressive. 

Within five years, he metamorphosed from a handicap who didn’t even have change in his pockets, to today, a peerless Heaven’s Favorite who’s accomplishments were glorious and prominent. 

Such graceful transformation was definitely heaven-defying. 

Just like that, Ling Xian decided to live in seclusion in order to truly grasp Feng Ming Qing’s inheritance.

Time passed little by little. 

Half a month later, an event occurred that rattled the entire 36 islands. Only then, did he pause his studies and burst out his front door. 

Untolerated by heaven, a boy was restricted by the most powerful spell. 

He accidentally acquired a painting inhabited by nine souls that claimed to be immortal. 

Then, the legend of a strong young man who violated heavenly principles against the course of nature began.

It was on the eleventh day of the holy month of Ramadan,when I and my friends went to act a cultural performance in the evening called "Taashe".Taashe is a performance of Hausa Culture usually in the evening, after the first ten days of fasting in the month of Ramadan.
The celebration goes about by visiting neighboring houses one after the other, relatives' and friends acting drama, singing, dancing etc.Non of the entertainer leaves to go back home without a token of gifts....sometimes money depending on how interesting and ente the acting was. By 10:00pm in the Night, we all have to go back home if we want our parents to allow us to participate the next day, for you know we are children, we shouldn't stay late out there.We have been doing this performance for years, it's Fun.
One day, gone to about four houses.....there was this particular house we'd been ignoring for years,so we said to ourselves this is it? we are going to this particular house, we might be lucky to get some gifts, we might not...but we are still gonna entertain them even if we will get nothing in return. We entered the house, surprisingly we saw a woman sitting on a mat, with her children...aren't the children going for "Taashe"? we asked ourselves. Then there was an old wheel chair, an old man was sitting on. 
We approached them by saying "peace be upon you",We are here to act "taashe" and the woman responded, You can...."ga fili"(enough space). We began acting, did the best performance we'd know and the old man who didn't uttered a word  looked at us amazingly and smiled.It was one of the best entertainment so far...Here we go, finished the "taashe",the man gave us an amount of #50 Naira and said "daa xaakuji...daa kun bari...kunyi xamanku a gida...." (if you would listen.....you should stop this.....stay at home).We responded,"toh shikenan"(alright). He added by saying "baawai banson taashe bane,amma nakan  damu ne, bari imbaaku labari na" (it's not that I don't like taashe, but I used to worry, let me tell you my story).
We sat down on the mat, together with the woman and the children.We were quietly attentive and wondering in our minds,wanting to know the reason that made him to stop his children from performing this wonderful and cheerful entertainment.
He started...It was fourty years ago, I was young and I also have a group of friends just as you are now, but older than you were, during our own "Taashe" performance. Indeed, it was fun, it was amazing and joyful. I'd never missed it, not for a single day. My friends come over to my house,together we'd branch to each other houses to greet everyone's parent and the "Taashe" performance began. During our time...we don't get money but a lot of material gifts and sometimes fruits.Everyone and Everything was great!
One day, after the performance it was late in the night, were so tired and about to go home, we saw two men standing near a car at that time...The men started walking toward us, we stopped walking and they approached us by saying please, Our car is faulty.....do u mind helping us push it over there? one of them pointing at a direction.'No, we replied'. We'd help them push the car non-stop for a long distance, I was so tired, I told them we can't help anymore, we are going home, don't want to get into trouble, probably our parents are searching for us now. We'd left...and I remembered been in a hurry to go home with the gifts we've got, no time to give each one his share so I 
went with the whole of it, with the hope of regrouping tomorrow and share it. Few minutes after, I was on my bed sleeping when my mother rushed in and woke me up, it was scary,she looks confused. She said"tashi, ina kuka bar Ali? bai je gida ba, iyayenshi naanan, shaa biyun dare ya wuce"(wake up,where is Ali? he's not home, his parents are here, it's past twelve midnight).My eyes were 
widely open, Ali was one of the obedient child, he's funny and he cares alot... Suddenly I screamed 'we'd help some people to push their car I think he's still there'. We all rushed there...
No sign of them.... not the men, not the car and not our friend.
Everyone was speechless and Everywhere was quite.






After listening to Zhixin's words, Huo Mian's eyes dimmed slightly...
"Nothing yet…"
"Sis... don't be sad. I believe... my brother-in-law is still alive… don't give up."
"I know, I will wait for him."
"Be happy, that way we won't have to worry about you."
"I will."
"I'm going to bed then. Sis, good night!"
After hanging up, Huo Mian barely had the time to feel sentimental when she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Come in…"
Rick came in alone. The bodyguard with him stopped at the door...
He wore a crisp long-sleeved, black t-shirt. He looked as cold and indifferent as he always did.
In his hands were two giant gift boxes; he seemed to have come prepared.
"Rick... why are you here?"
"I heard about the birth of the twins. Congratulations, Huo Mian."
"Thank you." Huo Mian smiled sweetly.
"These are my gifts to the twins. You know that I am a dull person... and I don't know how to select gifts... Coincidentally, I just went back to the US a few days ago... I went to a jewelry store with my brother... and saw this pearl set... so I bought two sets."
Rick put the gifts in front of Huo Mian...
"You are too kind. They're infants, you didn't have to get them such expensive gifts..."
"As their uncle, I had to buy something."
"Rick, why didn't Xixi come with you?" Huo Mian asked deliberately.
"We broke up..." Rick faintly answered.
"Really? Because of the accident last time?"
"Partly, but that's not the only reason... Anyways, it's a long story. I'm sure that Xixi would be happier without me. She should date someone else...."
Rick looked very sad...
"But you are not Xixi, how would you know what she is thinking? What if she thinks she is happiest when she's with you?" Huo Mian's words made Rick speechless.
"It is what it is… just let it be. I plan to slowly relocate my business this year... I may go back to the US by the end of the year."
"You're leaving?" Huo Mian was stunned.
"Yes. No one is taking care of my brother's business over there... I've been living carefree here for a long time, it's only right for me to take responsibility within the family..."
"So, you're going to leave Xixi like this... Are you sure you will have no regrets?"
"No one can be certain when it comes to relationships, and I don't know how to talk love either... Let it be so, as I am already very satisfied."
Hearing Rick say this, Huo Mian didn't want to persuade him anymore. After all, Rick's character was too dull, and his relationship with Xixi wasn't something that could be explained clearly in just a few words...
"One month from now, I'm throwing a one-month birthday party at Su Yu's family home. Please remember to come."
"Sure." Rick nodded without hesitation.
After Rick left... Huo Mian was just about to lie down to rest when her phone started to ring again...
Seeing that number was from Huo Siqian, Huo Mian did not want to pay attention to it at first.
But, she was also curious about what he wanted that she, for some strange reason, picked up the phone...
"Hello?"
"Wow... You actually picked up my call. Mian, I guess you don't hate me as much as I thought you did...."
"Stop with the nonsense, what do you want?"
"I heard that you gave birth... Congratulations."
"I don't need your congratulations."
"I bought the twins some gifts, and I will have them sent to you at the hospital."
"I won't accept it. Huo Siqian, stop pretending to be a good guy... You ruined my whole family... so don't come to me displaying fake empathy... What do you really want?"
"Mian... All I did all of this because... I want to have you... Don't tell me that you don't understand..." Huo Siqian's voice ran gently over the phone...
"But you killed Qin Chu. I'm never going to forgive you." Huo Mian's voice wavered with emotion.
"No, baby, don't get upset... Are you sure Qin Chu is really dead?"
"What do you mean by that?" Huo Mian froze. She felt like he was trying to imply something.
