Hanna is pissed. Her mom is obsessed with her highschool life and wants her to have a normal high school life as a Muslim teen as possible. All's well and good; until she signs her up on a halal dating website-and gets matched by three different guys.

Love couldn't get any more complicated right? Well, it does. When her crush's younger brother enters the picture and seems hell bent on making her see him as a man and not a brother!

After five painful days, the weapon refinery disciples gathered around Ouyang Lishang with high concentration. Over the past five days, they had less than one hour to sleep and eat. After they dozed off, they had to continue creating the World Tide.
Now, the hard times were over, and the good times were about to begin. They were about to witness Ouyang Lishang create the signs and turn dead metal into a living thing. They would see how Ouyang Lishang induced a miraculous transformation!
Ouyang Lishang took the seven parts of the World Tide. He rapidly used a hammer to create the signs on the seven parts, as if the skills were at his fingertips. Ouyang Lishang said, "Without the pattern, magical weapons are dead, like how humans will die if they do not have any vital channels." 
After he created another pattern, he continued. "These signs are like the writings we have learned. There are specific patterns to be followed. But the World Tide is different. I was the one who created the seven signs. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cang Jie[1] created words." Then, Ouyang Lishang looked at his disciples. "But you must understand that the difference between these signs and words is that words are complete. You simply have to learn what your forefathers have left behind. But there are many gaps in terms of signs. There is a lot of space for creativity. Don't grow complacent after mastering a few signs. You must explore the vast world!" 
At this moment, the weapon refinery disciples linked the image of master refiner with Ouyang Lishang. Typically, Ouyang Lishang was an expert at currying favor. Either that, or he was a harsh workshop owner. He did not seem like a master at all.
The moment Ouyang Lishang created a sign on the seventh part, the seven scattered parts of the World Tide moved and pieced themselves together, forming a sword.
Red lines flowed on the sword like magma. The signs were like riverbeds that were dry, but now surged with water. 
At this moment, the magma in the signs looked as if they were going to overflow, like a dam about to burst. Ouyang Lishang did not panic. He dunked the sword into the water tank beside him. The flames sizzled and were extinguished. 
Ouyang Lishang took up the World Tide. He silently thought about it. The casting of this intricate weapon was very tough. The errors were so small that they could not be seen with the naked eye.
When he cast the World Tide in the past, this had never happened. But he had said that the more tightly joined together the World Tide was, the more threatening it would become. This time, something Ouyang Lishang did not expect would happen had happened when the signs joined together. The magma almost overflowing meant that the sword itself almost could not endure the threat posed when the signs joined together! 
How dangerous! It was almost unable to contain it!
Signs were created on each and every piece of the World Tide. In the end, Lu Shu was presented with 144 World Tides. This was many more than Ouyang Lishang had created back then! 
The weapon refinery disciples seemed lost in thought. Only the professional refiners, who had the right to create teaching materials, seemed to be in anguish. From today onwards, they had to stand at the same standing line as these students from the Cultivation Colleges.
But although they could not accept the fact that these students could do what they could do, they did not feel that it was a pity.
The professional refiners spent day and night researching metal materials and their reactions at the laboratories in the Capital. Did they do this for themselves? No. They did it for the prosperity and flourishing of the Heavenly Network.
They had reached this goal. What they needed to do was start on a new journey, and complain here.
Ouyang Lishang looked at Lu Shu and smiled obsequiously. "Great Lord, I have fulfilled my mission. The World Tides have been created!"
Lu Shu looked at the World Tides. After they had cooled, there were seven gold dragons surging through each World Tide. The black and gold complemented each other well.
The next moment, all the weapon refinery disciples watched as the World Tides flew into the sky. Ripples were formed in the sky and flew out. It was as if black dragons were shouting in front of them. The sword landed on the ground in front of Zhang Weiyu and the rest. This produced an ear-piercing sound when the sword came into contact with the ground.
Lu Shu led Ouyang Lishang and stepped into a void to arrive in front of Zhang Weiyu. He looked at Zhang Weiyu, who was controlling his excitement. "What are you waiting for? Take your sword."
The World Tides flew into the hands of Zhang Weiyu and the rest. Zhang Weiyu looked at Lu Shu in shock. "This World Tide… is even more convenient than the previous one!" 
Of course, Ouyang Lishang was not willing to admit that this was the result of technology. He cleared his throat. "Ahem. The master refiner can improve too. The sword in your hands is the World Tide 2.0!"
Lu Shu was speechless. He looked at Ouyang Lishang. "Don't blindly give names after looking at the objects on Earth. A perfectly good name has been destroyed by you. Just call it the World Tide."
"The Great Lord is wise. The Great Lord is great." Ouyang Lishang submissively sucked up to Lu Shu.
Zhang Weiyu mustered up the courage and suddenly asked, "I have a doubt. I already have an answer, but I have no way to confirm it. Great Lord, are you able to give me an answer today?"
Lu Shu calmly looked at Zhang Weiyu. "Go ahead."
"We have heard of Lord Ouyang Lishang. He is the craftsman of the old King of Gods. Almost all the weapons from the palace of the King of Gods have his name carved on them," said Zhang Weiyu. "But I have also heard that he only created weapons for the old King of Gods, as the old King of Gods had saved his life." 
Ouyang Lishang immediately snapped out of his bootlicker character. He grew arrogant. "You know quite a lot."
Lu Shu thought about it. He had wanted to tell Zhang Weiyu about this. Why did he not recognize Corpsedog? But Lu Shu was curious. "When did you start having this doubt?" 
"Lord Arcane told me something interesting." Zhang Weiyu said, "When the old King of Gods carried Lord Tear Tricker back to the palace of the King of Gods, Lord Tear Tricker was still in her swaddling clothes. That night, the old King of Gods sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Lord Tear Tricker while she fell asleep. This is exactly the same… as your heavenly vision. Lord Arcane also said that he had never seen a face as kind as yours. Back then, he understood the reason we risked life and limb to follow you."
At this moment, Zhang Weiyu's tone had changed. It was as if the answer in his heart had been confirmed.
Lu Shu suddenly laughed. Last night, he dreamed that Tear Tricker passed through an empty street while carrying him. He was crying in his box. Tear Tricker stopped and carried Lu Shu in her arms. She softly sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It was as if fate had come one full circle.
Lu Shu quietly stood in front of everyone. He looked at Zhang Weiyu and the rest. He said, "These few days, I have been thinking that the name 'Wei Wu Army' doesn't sound nice. Thus, from today onwards, you will be called the Imperial Dragon Soldiers."
Zhang Weiyu knelt down on the ground. He buried his head in the shadows of his helmet. He cried. "Welcome back, my King."
Behind him, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers all knelt down. The sound of the armor rubbing against one another sounded like angry shouting. The veins on their necks were jumping. "Welcome back, my King!"
Their voices caused the entire Longmen Fortress to tremble.

By now, all of the abnormal signs had disappeared, but the boundary regions had fallen into chaos. Almost all of the Ancient Stem Domain's experts had arrived here, and even some experts from neighboring Domains had come. The final burst of killing intent from the Killing Sword World had caused all of their souls to tremble.
Now that such a big thing had happened here, they could not help but come, or else they would be struck by a calamity without even knowing what had happened.
The experts went through all of the boundary worlds, and the people in those worlds had already been terrified by those abnormal signs. Now that so many experts had descended, they became even more horrified, and some people even started to escape to other worlds.
Rumors of a world being destroyed or an evil being descending started to spread, causing mass panic.
They did not know why such terrifying abnormal signs had appeared or what had caused it; they just wished that none of this had happened because that killing intent made it so that none of them dared to stay here anymore. They could only pray that everything would be fine.
The various experts could not find the reason for those abnormal signs, but they did not give up. After looking for a few more days, they could only reluctantly leave. However, they did not completely give up either – they gave out quests, offering rewards such as Cities and other treasures to anyone who could provide information on the origin of those abnormal signs. Anyone who did so could even become a disciple of those experts.
This made countless people feel quite tempted because these experts had all come from the inner region of the Ancient Stem Domain. Those factions had existed for much longer than theirs, and their resources and abilities were not something that boundary worlds could compare with.
The rewards offered meant that there was a very big opportunity, so many people took risks to look for the reason behind those abnormal signs.
Zhao Fu came out from the Killing Sword World and put the Clear Sable Sword back into the Sword Mark. By now, Zhao Fu's appearance had returned to normal.
Now that the Clear Sable Sword had become the core of the Killing Sword World, its grade was unassessable. Where its grade had once been, it only now displayed 'Origin.' When wielding the Clear Sable Sword, Zhao Fu would enter the Sword Obsession state, causing his power to greatly increase, and he would be able to control that killing intent.
Moreover, now that Zhao Fu controlled the core of the Emperor Killing Sword World, he could enter the Emperor Killing Sword World at any time. However, he could not be disrupted when entering.
The Clear Sable Sword could now also be called the Emperor Killing Sword, which quite suited it as its old name did not suit it as much anymore.
At the same time, Zhao Fu had never thought that he would cause such terrifying abnormal signs. They actually reached hundreds of worlds. After all, he had been in a different space. If Zhao Fu knew that even the godly spirit world and Underworld had been affected, he would be given a big fright.
He was the source of all of this, and countless people were searching for him. With so many experts searching for him, he did not dare to act with a high-profile, as the consequences would be severe.
What Zhao Fu had never expected were the changes in the Elf world. Under the effects of the killing intent, there now appeared a type of Elf with blood-red eyes and blood-red hair who gave off killing intent.
These Elves had successfully accepted the baptism of the killing intent and had grasped the killing intent. The killing intent had changed their bloodline, and they were now a variant species.
This was quite common within the Heaven Awaken World; under the effects of unimaginable power, creatures could easily go through changes.
These variant Elves' personalities greatly changed, becoming incredibly cruel and bloodthirsty. All of them liked to use swords, and at the same time, their power greatly increased.
They called themselves the Killing Sword Elves and worshipped the killing sword intent. They were willing to be the slaves of the Killing Sword Master, and they could faintly tell where the Killing Sword Master was through their killing intent. They believed that he was definitely a peerless expert no one could contend with.
Zhao Fu was the Killing Sword Master, and there were at least tens of millions of Killing Sword Elves. With so many slaves, Zhao Fu would naturally be quite happy. It was possible that he would be able to complete his goal in the Elf world.
Only afterwards did Zhao Fu find out that they were simply saying that and that he did not have the power to actually control them. After all, their mutations were not because of Zhao Fu but because of the abnormal signs.
However, Zhao Fu controlled the source of the killing sword intent, so even though he could not control them, he could at least affect them. 
There was also another piece of good news, which was that Zhao Fu's bloodline had become a Lower Level 18 Sovereign Bloodline. His bloodline had once again upgraded.
Now that his bloodline had reached such a stage, raising it even a little bit was incredibly difficult.
Zhao Fu then turned his attention back to his goal in the Elf world, which was to find a piece to bury here. He had never thought that he would be side-tracked by such a thing. If it wasn't for the reaction from the Clear Sable Sword, he would never have gone to that ancient tomb.
Zhao Fu's goal this time was a small Kingdom. Because it was small, it would not attract too much attention. Moreover, the Kingdom's King was quite old, and the Princes were engaged in a power struggle, making it easy for Zhao Fu to take advantage of this.
The Kingdom was called the Full Moon Kingdom and was quite close to the Grassi world. This was part of the reason why Zhao Fu chose it – because it was quite close, it would be easy to support it. Zhao Fu would use this Kingdom as the spear to pierce through the Elf world.
Before, Zhao Fu had been heading towards this Kingdom, but the current situation exceeded what Zhao Fu had expected.
The Killing Sword Elves had become bloodthirsty and ruthless, and they were not bound by anything, nor were they loyal to anyone. They were all rebels and cause murders all over the world, resulting in much terror. Everyone was afraid of being killed by the Killing Sword Elves if they were not careful.
The common people were quite resentful of the Killing Sword Elves, while the Killing Sword Elves killed as they pleased. This resulted in the Kingdom becoming quite unsettled. Those in power could only give the order to kill these Killing Sword Elves.
Many of the Kingdoms in the Elf world had made this decision, and more and more were doing the same. Soon, all of the Kingdoms in the Elf world would give the order to kill these mutated Elves, putting them in a difficult position.
"Chase after them! His Majesty orders all of the Killing Sword Elves to be killed. They are criminals of the Kingdom!" An Elf General riding on a white horse led an army of 100,000 soldiers to chase after a few thousand Killing Sword Elves ahead. Because there were many soldiers and they had all sorts of professions, if the Killing Sword Elves remained, they would definitely die.
Even though the Killing Sword Elves were bloodthirsty, that did not mean they were stupid. As such, they could only desperately run away.
In the end, the Elf General used Cavalrymen to block off the Killing Sword Elves. The rest of the soldiers spread out, encircling the Killing Sword Elves.
"Miye, what should we do? We're going to be surrounded!" a ferocious-looking Killing Sword Elf asked a handsome-looking Killing Sword Elf.
The Killing Sword Elf referred to as Miye had a savage look in his eyes as he shouted, "Since we can't run, everyone stop and start to kill while we haven't been fully surrounded yet!"


“Ding! Soulbinding has been successfully completed; you will now head to the Heaven Awaken World.” After hearing this, Zhao Fu’s vision darkened as he fell to the ground.

With bleak prospects in the real world, Zhao Fu’s life is turned around when countless crystals fell from the sky one night, which people could use to enter an alternate, game-like world. After obtaining an ancient Chinese empire’s legacy, Zhao Fu uses his intellect and resourcefulness to develop his own empire from a tiny village. However, with enemies both in the real world and in the Heaven Awaken World, he must make brilliant decisions and use creative schemes to survive.

Those who were around when it all happened never realized just how much it would change our world. Things that we took for granted in our everyday life have now become privileges for a select few, the ones who had money before our realities crashed around us. There were signs everywhere but we enjoyed our entitled lives and paid no mind to the things we thought would always be around.  
The world came to a relative end to standard living in 2021. The wars of religion seemed meager in comparison to what occurred. Everyone acted blind sided and shocked when the truth of the biological war that broke out and changed society forever. The truth was the dominant world governments knew about it but kept society in the dark. While most people lived their lives in blissful ignorance some saw the signs and knew what was coming. 
Dai Jinko one of the worlds largest economies and countries had long been rising in power economically as well as military power. Standard warfare seemed to be often long hard fights that devastated everyone's economy regardless if they took part in the actual fighting. Sadly the communist mentality or the Dai Jinko government blinded its own people and by the time the common people realized what was going on it was far to late. 
In mid 2019 a virus was found in Dai Jinko. The initial deaths from this virus were very high. Dai Jinko said it was a mutation viral infection reporting that they were doing their best to maintain and come up with a vaccine for the virus. This new virus was beyond what many had seen, its infection rate was high and the mortality rate at an astounding fifty percent. The Dai Jinko scientific community said it was due to it being a completely new viral infection that people had no immunities to. Some believed the lies. 
By the end of 2019 there was a whistle blower from Dai Jinko. A Dai Jinko biochemical engineer from one of the military support facilities fled the country, he fled to Nord seeking asylum for information about the new Dai Jinko Virus that the media lovingly dubbed the Jinko flu. It was anything but a flu. 
The Scientist hid his identity from the public but he was found shortly after revealing his labs research on the virus. The scientist claimed he was head of research in the Viral warfare research lab in Dai Jinko. His lab had been petitioned to create a super virus. Splicing portions of hard hitting viral infections like HIV, Pneumonia, Ebola, even portions of simple viral infections like the common flu, strep and even MRSA in order to make it appear as if it was a mutation of a seasonal flu. 
By the time this information was readily available to the public millions had died. From June to December Dai Jinko had managed to "contain" the viral outbreak. The rest of the world held its breath and prayed to the many religious Gods to spare them from the wrath of what everyone thought was nature.
When the scientist defected from communist Dai Jinko, not only did he bring information about the virus and how it was created but he also brought information on how it was released. The Dai Jinko Government was fighting over population specifically in major cities. Important essential government workers and families were quarantined and were given supplies to last 2 years. Some holed themselves inside their vacation homes outside of the major cities, while other lived in a designated bunker while the government released the viral infection to the populace. Releasing the virus through the air systems in businesses, shops and grocery stores. None of the major cities in Dai Jinko were spared and their population halved by the beginning of 2020. 
Once this information was leaked to the unsuspecting rest of the world a global panic set in. When the scientist disappeared Dai Jinko shut down their borders. They had already began releasing the viral agent in shipments and packages around the world. Dai Jinko being a leading manufacturing state of goods globally no one was spared, even if they were travelers carried the virus back home from vacation and business travel. The world quickly realized no one was safe from the virus and panic ensued. 
The only thing that Dai Jinko did wrong was releasing the virus before they had a vaccine made. The only thing that could be concluded is they miss calculated how contagious and infectious the Jinko flu would be. Those infected showed signs and symptoms of those related to HIV patients with immune system weakness while gaining symptoms of pneumonia and some even developing signs of Ebola lesions. Though not every patient showed the same signs and others varied in severity. The only thing every patient had in common was their immune systems shut down. Immune systems were confused and weakened, the virus like most infections took two weeks to fully develop symptoms and by the time you had your first symptom it was a matter of time for most people. 
The infection didn't discriminate, young, old, healthy, sick, no one was safe. Some families got lucky those usually living in more isolated locations had a better chance. Less population less viral infection though this was not always the case.
The first city to be hit hard was The City of Imin, all parts. Having a dense populous was not in the cities favor. The disease had been circulating the city streets before we even really knew what was happening. We knew what Dai Jinko would tell us, though them being a communist country the information was always biased and limited. Miss information in this aspect worked in Dai Jinko's favor and against everyone else. 
Nord's major cities all along the coast were the next to take a large hit. Thein was hit like a tidal wave with the sick and it spread from there. Any city that had an International airport was no longer safe. Lock downs and quarantines started. 
Cities once flooded with waves of people were barren seemingly over night. Internet videos started first from nurses and physicians, the fear palpable on their faces. Many of the creators were wracked with tears sobs and panic for the things they were seeing and doing. Doctors quickly became grim reapers, deciding who had a higher chance of survival than other patients. People who had any kind of illness were almost automatically told they would die from infection. The Government on all levels was trying to do damage control and save those they could, though it did not make health care workers lives any easier. 
While panic and total Government shut down occurred globally economies disappeared over night. Though some did what they could within a year whole families were devastated and food shortage prevalent. If you managed to survive the viral pandemic ravaging the globe, you may not have been so lucky to survive the economic collapse and starvation that happened after. 
After a year of the pandemic a vaccine was still in the process of being created. With all of the virus' characteristics and splices from other known deadly diseases made creating a vaccine nearly impossible. 
There was a ray of hope in a way from a Biological research company that was prevalent in research involving bionic human organs. Where this was still very experimental, a lot of people took the chance when their families were ravaged by disease and hunger. The first release was bionic lungs, most affected by the disease usually ended up dieing from pneumonia complications, essentially slowly drowning to death. Many of the people who were considered immunodeficient, volunteered their bodies to the research to hope to save those who remained. 
Desperation drove these heroic individuals and history would see them as humanities saviors as well as humanities downfall.

Those who were around when it all happened never realized just how much it would change our world. Things that we took for granted in our everyday life have now become privileges for a select few, the ones who had money before our realities crashed around us. There were signs everywhere but we enjoyed our entitled lives and paid no mind to the things we thought would always be around... 

The lights overhead hummed with electric charge as the rooms disinfectant mist system buzzed and released an almost invisible mist of disinfectant that smelled a cheap perfume, bleach, chlorine, and citrus. The smell started Ayla from her restless sleep. Ayla sat up blinking rapidly forcing her eyes and mind adjust and pull her mind from the nightmare memory she faced only moments ago.

Still concerned, Chen Chen pried open the skull of the corpse again. He saw that the brain inside the skull had shrunk into substances resembling a walnut and there were no signs of external damage to be seen.
Chen Chen spent several minutes performing an autopsy on the corpse but still was not able to find any vivid signs of injuries. There were hardly any scratches or bruises to be found.
There were no signs of organ or brain damage inside the corpse either. This suggested that these corpses may have died an abrupt death.
Otherwise known as sudden death.
In common terms, the definition of sudden death referred to cases where an otherwise usually healthy person suddenly succumbed to a natural disease within a short period. There were two types of such natural diseases:
Sudden Cardiac Death and Non-sudden Cardiac Death.
However, it had to be noted that these corpses had dried out for extended periods. Their organs had displayed signs of corrosion prior to drying out, but without access to professional equipment, Chen Chen could not determine the precise cause of death of these corpses. He could only conclude that they had died of sudden death.
"Could this mean that this is something that causes sudden death just by 'seeing' it?"
Chen Chen furrowed his eyebrows. He considered for a moment before switching the PK Armor to thermal imaging mode, which gave him vision similar to what was seen in Predator.
Unlike regular thermal imaging which only displayed heat radiation in large blobs, the thermal imaging of the PK Armor provided finer details, even surpassing details that were otherwise glimpsed by the naked eye.
Under the effect of the NZT-48, it only took Chen Chen several minutes to adapt to this vision system.
The only question was, would this be able to help him negate the "instant death upon sight" rule?
As Chen Chen followed down the path, he felt a crushing weight set upon his once relaxed mood.
Of all the large dimensions he had been to, the dimension of Gantz was the strangest of them all. It was somehow stranger than Elysium.
Furthermore, this dimension was unlike Elysium which was equipped with advanced technology and used a "central system" AI to oversee the day-to-day activities of humans, where he could get a grasp of all of the ongoings by taking over the central system.
This dimension was hardly any different from the real world.
While Chen Chen was occupied with his thoughts, he suddenly saw a corpse holding onto a phone. He immediately lit up at the prospect and took the phone while he had the Black Knights continue searching the room. Meanwhile, he returned to the Bugatti Spaceship where he used a cable to connect it with the spaceship.
After charging it for a short while, he managed to reboot the phone that had been shut down for many years at this point.
The moment it was turned on, X-112 immediately infiltrated its system and quickly lifted all permission restrictions while also thoroughly inspecting it.
"Successfully extracted social media software chat logs, currently scanning…
"Message scanned, filtering content for valuable information… The phone was powered off on 3 June 2025."
"When was the calamity?"
Chen Chen asked without skipping a beat. By calamity, he was referring to the time which the aliens officially invaded, which happened in the latter half of the comic plot.
"It was in 2000."
X-112 replied, "According to the chat logs extracted from the LINE software, the aliens invaded during the year 2000. They would later be defeated by Kei Kurono and the other black sphere forces who would go on to restore the peace of mankind. The peace lasted for twenty-five years until the moment this phone was powered off. This is all the information I was able to extract from the chat logs. I cannot investigate any further due to lack of Internet."
"Can you communicate with the satellites?"
Chen Chen asked again, "Even if mankind vanished, some of the satellites should still be operating for several years at least."
"Unable to establish a connection with any satellite signal, they may have malfunctioned," X-112 replied again.
Chen Chen tipped his head in response before continuing. "In that case, dispatch the drones to be on the lookout for a data center in Tokyo. If we can find a data center, we should be able to acquire plenty of information."
"Understood."
X-112 responded, "I'll remain alert."
After that, they uncovered more corpses. The Black Knights went through every nook and cranny of the office building, finding more than hundreds of corpses in the process. Most of these corpses had dried out while some of the corpses in poorer condition had long since corroded and turned into skull remnants.
One thing Chen Chen could be sure of was that they all had died at the same time. The instrument of their death was a shocking one. They must have seen something outside the window at the same time which instantly triggered this sudden death phenomenon.
Returning to the spaceship, Chen Chen went through the diary again while he further contemplated his findings.
Based on his current observations, all of the corpses discovered so far had died at the same time. The only exception was this Ando who left behind the diary.
Based on the contents of the diary, the downfall of human civilization began since "it" came to the world. Could this be a strong indication that the "it" mentioned in the diary was directly connected to the sudden death of the people in the office building?
Meanwhile, Ando had survived the first wave of death and had become one of the "survivors" as he had described themselves in the diary.
These survivors even managed to form a small group to survive together in the end times.
After that, there was a chronicle of Ando's nightmares.
Chen Chen knitted his eyebrows together. He could not find any mention of the source of the nightmares in the diary. However, upon reading between the lines, he figured out that the group was also aware of this frequent nightmare phenomenon. They had mercilessly expelled Ando from the group once they found out he was having these nightmares.
"Why would they exile him, was it out of fear of…"
Chen Chen suddenly thought of something, he flicked an eyebrow. "Infection?"
However, Chen Chen debunked his theory as soon as he had conjured it. "Impossible, I've never heard of such a thing as a contagious nightmare. But Ando didn't mention anything about why he was having these nightmares nor did he try to look for the source of these nightmares and how he rid himself of them. Could it be that they believed there was no cure for these nightmares?"
Unfortunately, Ando did not have a phone with him. Still, that was to be expected since despite having survived several years longer, Ando was already living in the end times. It was the post-civilization world where all electronics were rendered useless since they had run out of battery. Mobile phones were no exception to this rule.
Except that there seemed to be something too peculiar about this devastating world…
After the Black Knights surveyed the entire office building, Chen Chen had them continue searching further down the street. Shortly after, they arrived at a high-rise residential area.
Searching the residential area took more effort than the office building but the findings were more worthwhile as well. The Black Knights produced new findings very quickly.
When Chen Chen received the Black Knight's report and walked into one of the units, he immediately saw the state of the mess the house was in.


Who could have guessed that the accidental discovery of a pitch-black USB drive would one day turn Chen Chen’s world upside down? 
He quickly realizes that this was no ordinary USB drive—and it came with mysterious powers, along with its own hidden rules. Equipped with his skills and intellect as a student of biological science, Chen Chen strives to uncover the limit of the USB drive, and the limit of his own ambition. 
Follow Chen Chen in his pursuit of lofty aspirations—wealth, immortality, and otherworldly powers! It is a path that will lead him to a grand plan, one that will change the fate of humanity forever…


Ye Futian turned his head up and his eyes burned with raging flames. A shadow of a godly ape appeared behind him and he was covered in rules of wind. He rose like a bolt of lightning at that very moment, heading straight for that giant ancient god.
Bai Luli stood in the air and waved his arms. That terrifying ancient god brought the hammer in its hand down. Lightning flashed in the air as the power of rules crushed everything beneath it.
Ye Futian felt appalling powers right before him. He melded his will into his surroundings and uttered a word, "Freeze." The space around slowed and the movements of that ancient god seemed to have been affected. Ye Futian clenched his fists and terrifying light circled around him. His divine ape battle form took form and howled in the air. Five out of the Seven Star Acupoints opened and tremendously violent power was unleashed.
The giant divine ape lashed out at the ancient god with its arm as if to shake it down. The arm of the divine ape clashed with the sluggish hammer. As the punch was imbued with rules of stars, it felt as if a star had collided with the Heaven-shaking Divine Hammer. Devastating power engulfed their surroundings and the hammer was shattered. The body of the ancient god was thrown back, and Ye Futian was thrown back as well.
Liu Chan felt himself trembling inside. He closed his eyes, and his mind had been shaken. He opened his eyes and turned to his senior and Sage Wanxiang and said, "Wanxiang, what did the signs say?"
Wanxiang said he needed to observe the signs and his senior should not have come out. Sage Chunyang's end was near. Every time he spent any of his spiritual powers, his life force diminished, bringing his end even closer. It was impossible for them to show unless Sage Wanxiang saw some changes in the signs and informed Sage Chunyang.
"Assistant Palace Lord..." Sage Wanxiang looked at Liu Chan and was rather reluctant to utter the words. The signs were too brutal for Liu Chan.
"Liu Chan, just watch seriously," Sage Chunyang said. Liu Chan turned his deep eyes back on the two young men fighting.
Ye Futian headed for Bai Luli at breakneck speed. Bai Luli's eyes turned grey as he unleashed the Eye of Devastation Life Spirit. Everything around him seemed to be put under the control of his spiritual will. Eight godlike silhouettes appeared in the air taking eight different corners. Countless threads were laid out through the air with Ye Futian at the center as if a boundless matrix was set in place.
At that very moment, Ye Futian felt his surroundings and even his spiritual will were being shackled. Lines of forbidden runes appeared, hovering in every corner around his body. The Sealing of All Creations held his spiritual will in a very restricted area with no way to spread out. His radiating spiritual will seemed to have been isolated, rendering him incapable of melding his spiritual will with his surroundings, which in turn heavily restricted on the means he was able to use. Even the power of the rules of space freezing would have been restricted to the space immediately around him.
Ye Futian looked up at Bai Luli. The light of emperors rose and the light of all celestial bodies shone in the air in blinding brilliance. Whooshing sounds were heard as an ancient tree seemed to have been imbued with divine essence, extending for the heavens. The ancient tree grew increasingly large, a dragon of lightning circled above it and the Roc perched on one of its branches. All power of elements were melded into one and infused with the tree. The light grew increasingly dazzling and the branches expanded. Light emanating from the ancient tree extended outside the forbidden powers, with Ye Futian's spiritual power expanding with it.
Both the inside and outside of the forbidden power was enveloped by Ye Futian's will. He clenched his fist and punched. The huge divine ape followed suit, lashing out with a punch at its surroundings. It was as if a star trembled in the space. Cracking sounds were heard in an instant, as the power of the Sealing of All Creations were broken through bit by bit.
Liu Chan practically went pale looking at the scene. Those are all Ye Futian's Life Spirits?
The swaying light of the ancient tree enveloped Bai Luli with the mighty power of rules brought down on him in the form of Space-freezing. Bai Luli felt the space he was in almost ground to a halt, before sensing Ye Futian charge at him at top speed.
The power of the Eye of Devastation was cranked to the limit as Bai Luli went tearing himself away from the power of rules of Space-freezing. His Eye of Devastation glared at Ye Futian. With the Eye Sorcery Zone, it was his rules that reigned; outside of said zone, Ye Futian's rules reigned.
An incredibly huge grey shadow appeared behind Bai Luli, holding a Sword of Devastation. At that very moment, Bai Luli's body melded with that of the ancient god. He borrowed the body of the ancient god and wielded the Sword of Devastation with both his hands, stabbing it into the space. A devastating storm, lightning storm and a storm of power rampaged about.
The World Tree enveloped Ye Futian's surroundings and he moved forward. A true star appeared around him and enveloped him within. The swaying World Tree blinked. The power of rules became insanely powerful. Clad in defense by the rules of the stars, Ye Futian danced about with a staff in his hand. His twirling body lashed out with one strike after another as the divine ape roared, heading closer and closer to Bai Luli. The space felt like it was being torn apart before both of them clashed, letting out high-pitched, deafening noises.
"Soul Sacrifice," Bai Luli uttered. His body had completely melded with his Life Spirit and the body of the ancient god, turning him into some sort of god. He then brought down the sword with both his hands. The sky felt as if it was being cleaved apart at that very moment, tearing the middle as devastating storms whipped about with the power to tear everything apart.
The Sword of Devastation was brought down on the stars, cleaving it in the middle. The devastating storms tore everything in its path and the power of Space-freezing was brought to bear. The sword that was being brought down seemed to have ground to a halt, becoming incredibly sluggish. The roaring huge divine ape battle form descended, and Ye Futian had too become one with the ape, melding with his Life Spirit.
Shadows of staffs all over the place coalesced as one as the divine ape crashed through the air. The World Tree Life Spirit's light flowed in a crazed manner into the body of the ape. The staff felt as if the sky itself was being brought down, colliding with that sword of the ancient god.
A devastating stream of storms whipped out with both of them at the center. The earth rumbled violently in response. The Sword of Devastation shattered bit by bit as the staff was brought down with boundless brilliance.
Boom… A loud rumble was heard as the staff was reduced to dust. The staff was brought right on top of the ancient god's body. Cracks were seen all over the ancient god before it shattered bit by bit.
Bai Luli was thrown behind with another rumble, landing where Liu Chan and Sage Chunyang were. He spat up blood and his face looked pale.
Ye Futian turned his eyes at Bai Luli, then at Liu Chan and Sage Wanxiang. Cracks were seen on the Star Wheel in the air. Sage Wanxiang looked especially pale.
Ye Futian stepped forward as the light of emperors shone. The World Tree swayed as he was being enveloped by his other Life Spirits. He stared at Sage Wanxiang and said, "You know how to tell fortunes, don't you? Have you found out anything?"
Sage Wanxiang looked at Ye Futian's eyes. His eyes turned demonic as if he wanted to see everything there was to see about the young man. At that very moment, he saw an incredibly regal figure walking in his direction. Wanxiang turned all of his mental and spiritual focus in order to make the figure clear, of all the signs of fate within.
That regal figure glanced at him casually. Wanxiang grunted in the very next moment. His face was ashen and blood spilled from his mouth. His mind and spirit were severely injured.
"How could this be possible?" Sage Wanxiang said as he kept coughing blood. His hands were shaking and pain was seen in his eyes.
"How could this be possible indeed?" Liu Chan asked himself as well. He stared at Ye Futian, the one who beat Bai Luli as a noble.
The will of the Holy Zhi Palace was to have Bai Luli attain sainthood. They were willing to pay whatever price just to have a saint emerge. Despite Ye Futian's insane talent and being ranked first on the Law Rank, Liu Chan deemed him disposable, for they did not have time to wait for him. However, there Ye Futian stood, having beaten Bai Luli.
Is that sainthood potential? A noble with sainthood potential defeating an upper-level sage. What does this all mean? We gave everything to create a saint, and yet it all backfired?
He wanted to know why it all turned out this way.
"Cough." He coughed, spitting up blood again. No one was able to relate to what Liu Chan was going through. That very battle broke all of the illusions he believed in so adamantly before.
"Why did things turn out like this?" Ye Futian smiled, but he looked rather sad. He himself wanted to know why as well. His Life Spirit dissipated and that overpoweringly brilliant light vanished as well. Ye Futian felt nothing but overwhelming exhaustion at that very moment.
Sage Chunyang looked at Ye Futian and closed his eyes. Had Liu Chan been wrong? No, I was the one who was wrong.
He was the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace. In a sense, the will of the Holy Zhi Palace was his will. He had been anxious and hurried with things due to his end being near. He saw Bai Luli demonstrating the potential for sainthood and gained the acknowledgment of the Sage Hall. He wanted too badly for a saint to emerge in Barren State and had ignored everything going on in the outside world, which led to that great wrong before everyone that day. He, as one who was about to die, had to shoulder the responsibility for all that.
"What did the signs say?" Sage Chunyang opened his eyes and asked Sage Wanxiang.
"Unknown," Sage Wanxiang said with trembling voice and added, "Unidentifiable."
"What do you mean unidentifiable?" Sage Chunyang asked.
"The fact that it was unknown means that it is unidentifiable," Sage Wanxiang looked at Sage Chunyang and uttered something else telepathically. Sage Chunyang trembled slightly after hearing that and his aura became even weaker. He looked at the one before him and did not know what to make of it.
The Lord of Ice Temple, Yun Shuisheng, Phoenix, and the others looked at the topmost authority of the Holy Zhi Palace: Sage Chunyang, Liu Chan, and Sage Wanxiang. All three of them wavered and were incredibly restless. If they had given a chance for Ye Futian to fight Bai Luli earlier, things would not have turned out like this.


In a time when the Divine Prefectures of the East Sea were in great disarray, Emperor Ye Qing and Donghuang the Great appeared to save the day. Under their rule, the prefectures united and all nations as well as  their kings have been controlled. However, the legend of these two great heroes becomes altered when Emperor Ye Qing's name is wiped from the history books after his sudden death. All statues and images of him were destroyed and his name a taboo. Only the legend of Donghuang the Great shall live on.                            

Fifteen years later, a young man by the name of Ye Futian begins his journey in search for his true identity. The legend of Futian was going to be one for the history books.

A family inclined to kindness and charity would grace the descendants.
Thanks to one small act of kindness,
by providence she comes across a grateful friend;
Fortunate that her mother,
has done an unperceived good deed….

Men should rescue the distressed and aid the poor…
Who would have guessed that kindness in this world ultimately would be the road that one must choose, that proverbial fork in the road?

Clouds of rain float on eastern winds as new vines start to blossom.
Though drums of war roar too loudly and their brilliance has been lost,
a green grass carpet greets the sun by the break of morning.
Let us wait for the yellow leaves, a few gourds are harvested.
