One of the top students of a leading science University started his research on the evolution of bacteria. After years of research on his theories, he needed some practical research so he applied to some top research centers for sponsorship but after reading his research paper they stated that it is useless to use their valuable resource for this useless project. Although he was rejected he did not lose his hope he tried again and again and again. He applied to all the research centers where he could but still got rejected from all of them. So after being rejected over and over again he tried to establish his laboratory on an uninhabited island of Indonesia. He started researching them with no concern for anyone or anything. His usual everyday supply was delivered by his niece. Who comes to the island once a month.
In his research After some positive results, one day there became a negative result no one knows what but it results in the complete upside-down of the Ecosystem of that island.

2021, Little Rock City, Arkansas, United States.
In a private high school examination venue in Little Rock City.
"Excuse me, examinee?"
"This is an examination, I hope you can take it seriously. This gentleman..."
The invigilator looked at the youth lying on the examination table and reminded him with a deadpan expression.
The youth's name was Raymond, and he was an examinee who was participating in the SAT American academic aptitude assessment.
Hearing the invigilator's voice, Raymond raised his head and looked at his surroundings in a daze. Finally, he locked his gaze on the person beside him and said in puzzlement, "Is there anything? I've already handed the work report to the department head."
When the invigilator heard this, he was instantly stunned.
"Report? What report? You're currently in the middle of an exam. Quickly wake up and answer the questions properly. Don't leave yourself with any regrets."
Hearing this, Raymond's mind went blank. "Answer the questions? Exam?"
Seeing Raymond's confused look, the invigilator shook his head and sighed. "This guy... must have slept so soundly!"
After saying that, the invigilator didn't care anymore. He turned around and left, leaving Raymond alone in his messy seat.
"Exam? Didn't I just sleep on my desk for a while? Why am I here?"
Raymond looked around.
Where was this?
Could it really be the exam room?
Wasn't he at his desk?
What was going on?
In his memory, he was resting in his office!
Moreover, he should be wearing a suit and shirt. How did it become a T-shirt and jeans?
At this moment, Raymond's eyes suddenly glanced at the admission ticket and other identity information on his desk.
"Is it really an exam?"
"Or is it the SAT?"
Raymond could not believe it. He raised his hand and pinched his face.
"Fuck, it really hurts..."
Did he really return to time and space? He even returned to the scene of the SAT exam!
Raymond's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the critical reading test paper on the desk.
In his previous life, he did not even get 750 marks on the SAT. Naturally, he did not have a university or scholarship. In addition, his family background was ordinary, so he did not go to university.
After graduating from high school, he began to travel. Later, he found a random job and began his working life.
Once he had a job and settled down, let alone studying knowledge, his life in the city already made him a little breathless.
In addition, that knowledge was simply not useful in life, so he had long forgotten what he had learned in high school.
Years of working life had tormented him.
He looked at his classmates who had gone to college, each of them crossing class boundaries and earning millions each year...
He had been annoyed countless times in the rented house. If he had studied hard and gotten a scholarship to go to a good college...
He would not have become like this.
Now was another chance god had given him!
A chance to change his terrible life.
Raymond felt excited at the thought.
He could stand on the same starting line as the others, and have the chance to change his class by learning.
He quickly picked up the pen in his hand, his eyes shining, and focused on the exam.
Soon, Raymond put down the pen in his hand again in frustration.
"I don't remember it at all!"
In his eyes, the exam paper was like the Book of Abraham.
He couldn't even understand the exam paper, let alone answer the questions.
He seemed to have seen every single one of them, but he didn't know what they were when they were combined.
The surrounding examinees were all burying their heads in the questions, and Raymond was like a passerby in the exam hall.
But what could Raymond do? Once a person was anxious, he could do anything, but he just couldn't do the test paper!
He couldn't do these questions at all!
[Ding~]
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Raymond's mind.
[Top Student System binding...]
[System loading... 10%... 50%... 95%...]
Hearing the notification sound, Raymond's eyes started to shine with excitement.
System! The standard configuration for every transmigrator!
Furthermore, this system was a top student system!
He was at the SAT venue, and he had awakened a top student system!
Didn't this mean that there was no problem for his SAT exam!?
Thinking of this, Raymond became excited.
[Top Student System, loading complete.]
[Host: Raymond]
[Vitality: 10]
[Intelligence: 10]
[Spiritual Power: 8]
(The standard for an ordinary person is 10 points.)
[Course Points: 0]
[Skill Points: 0]
[Learnable Skills: None]
[This system is a Top Student System. As long as the host touches something related to learning, it will trigger a mission and produce a reward.]
The notification sounded again.
[Ding, the host has been detected at the SAT venue. Now handing out the novice gift bag!]
It's coming, it's coming!
The standard configuration of the system: Novice Gift Bag!
The light in Raymond's eyes grew brighter, and his entire being started to get excited.
He had already picked up the pen again, preparing to amaze everyone.
[The Critical Reading Exam is currently underway. Begin handing out the relevant rewards.]
[The rewards are--]
[Qi and Blood Body Refining Technique (Beginner)]
[Congratulations, host! You've taken another big step towards becoming a top student!]
Hearing this notification, Raymond was stunned.
"What is this?"
"Did I hear it wrong? Qi and Blood Body Refining Technique?"
Raymond read it several times and finally confirmed that he didn't hear it wrong.
"Damn you!"
The pen in his hand that he had just picked up suddenly trembled, and he could not help but start roaring in the examination room.
This system is playing with me?
I'm taking the critical reading test, and this damn system gave me a body refining technique?
Did you think it was a physical test?
In the next second, before Raymond could react, a huge amount of information crazily surged into his brain.
All the theories and illustrations about the Qi and Blood Body Refining Technique kept flashing in Raymond's mind, and then they were deeply imprinted in his mind.
The system did not lie to Raymond. He really had learned the Qi and Blood Body Refining Technique!
After receiving the Qi and Blood Body Refining Technique from the system, Raymond's brain was completely shut down because of this huge amount of information.
What was the body tempering exercise? It was still at the elementary level!
What did it have to do with the current SAT critical reading?
Wasn't this system the Top Student System? Wasn't it also giving out things related to critical reading?
This was completely to train the body! The style was completely wrong!
Did this critical reading have anything to do with it?
Did this critical reading have anything to do with a body?
The system must be joking with him!


Raymond traveled to the exam room of the college entrance examination. He found he knew nothing when he had seen the examination papers. Fortunately, he activated the Grade-A Student System. However, he then found the system was somewhat weird! In the Chinese exam, the system offered him a body cultivation method? In the English exam, the system offered him Morse code? In the geography exam, the system offered him the Art of War of Global Actual Combat? In the physics exam, the system offered him the design drawing of Chengdu J-20? ... Lin Yi wanted to cry, but he had no tears to shed. In the end, he only wrote some nonsense on the examination papers. In the Chinese examination paper: “Qi and blood attack. Direct qi to flow through the meridians in your body. One day's work can last one week...” In the maths examination paper: “The weather controller can launch a meteorologic attack, such as thunderstorm, frost, in hemispheres. The calculation formula is x.=Ax...” As expected, Raymond’s total score was zero. Those weird examination papers got viral on the Internet. The whole school was talking about it on Homecoming Day. However, to his surprise, the military saw Raymond’s examination papers. On the same day, the papers were encrypted on the SSS level.


Once he had awaken from his slumber, the sun was already out and shining. Most of the candidates were already up and making rustling noises as they started writing again. Pei Zi Yun stood up and stretched himself. With a patrolling official following him, he went to the toilet and back to the room. He drank some water, taking small sips at a time.

After having more pastries and an egg, Pei Zi Yun felt rejuvenated. He then began to check the answers on the scrap paper and ensured that he had solved the three big questions without mistakes. As he sighed, he knew that if he did not become an Elementary Scholar, something was seriously wrong. 

He then started to copy the answers from the scrap paper into the actual answer script. 

“The last section is the final part, poetry.”

“Frankly, regardless of which discipline is the emphasis, poetry is the least important. The last question thus tested the candidates literary abilities.”

“All I can say is, if it is an outstanding piece, bonus marks will be rewarded.”

Although Pei Zi Yun was not the most poetical person, he had many poems in his memories. 

Between these two worlds, surely there will not be two identical poets. 

Looking at the topic, "Start of Spring”, Pei Zi Yun was shocked. This looked familiar to him. His head felt slightly painful from the number of poems he could choose from to write.

As he was thinking, he held the inkstone and his gaze was fixed on the question. He finally decided on which poem he would write, "I shall write the poem by Xi Han Yu”

“This poet was part of the Tang dynasty, and poems from the Tang dynasty are the most expensive. This was because no other dynasties could compete in poetry with them. And this person was conferred numerous titles for his ability in literature. Bring me some luck!”

Pei Zi Yun’s heart was glad with confidence. This time, there was no need for the scrap paper, he decided to write directly onto the actual sheet.

<Spring>

The streets were wet with light drizzle as the grass swayed in the wind. 

The best time of the year is spring, infinitely better than having smoke filled skies.

Phew

When he had finished, Pei Zi Yun relaxed every muscle in his body. He checked the entire script three times to ensure no mistakes were made. He looked around him to see everyone was still buried in their writings, each of them looking pale. He had finished before time was up as he shouted, "Submitting my paper!”

The official asked him curiously, "It’s not even dark, yet you have finished writing?”

Pei Zi Yun replied, "I have finished.”

Without delay the official called for the official in charge of receiving scripts. He checked that everything was in order before saying, "Release!”

All these submitted scripts will then be stamped with the candidate’s names to prevent fraud of any sort. Several officials will then transcribe the contents of the paper and pass the copies for marking. Only after the top percentile of candidates have been selected will they be able to view the actual papers. At this point if it was well done, marks can be added. Before this process nobody was allowed to see the actual test scripts, not even the officials collecting the papers.

Pei Zi Yun exited the examination hall and realized how stuffy and stifling the atmosphere had been. He did not want to stay longer than he had to. It was rumoured that the next tier of examinations required three days to complete and candidates were not allowed to leave early. He wondered how blank he would be if he had to do that.

He recalled that just as he was copying the answers down onto the actual answer sheet, a student had to be carried out. He had an entire head of white hair and was wailing to be let back in again. Pei Zi Yun watched from afar and felt somewhat distressed. 

That was how it was for the examinations. If you did not pass the Elementary Scholar examination once, and succeeded even after several attempts, you will end up like that. 

Unless the candidate is exceptionally lucky, or exceptionally talented, the higher tier examinations would usually require a few attempts. Pei Zi Yun felt completely drained and exhausted but completely relieved as well. 

Since the examinations are over, and he should become an Elementary Scholar with the relevant status, the Plum Blossom mission would be completed. 

As he stepped out, Pei Zi Yun realized how blank his mind felt. 

Apart from a High Scholar’s family, scholars, servants and cart drivers, everyone else traveled by riding. In the history of examination candidates, many have collapsed from exhaustion and sickness. Walking under exhaustion like this would not be safe, and since he did not feel like walking anyway, he waved his hand for transport.

An oxcart stopped beside him, as Pei Zi Yun said, "Safe Travels Inn!”

“Sure, have a seat, passenger.”

The ride back to the inn was very bumpy, but at least the hotel serving staff were on the ball. As soon as they saw him, they shouted, "Prepare the hot water!”

Pei Zi Yun immediately took a warm shower before coming out to some meat porridge. After having his meal and some tea, he started seeing candidates returning from the examination hall. He noticed that Tang Zhen looked extremely pale. The moment he saw Pei Zi Yun he hurriedly approached him and bowed.

Pei Zi Yun was shocked and said, "Brother Tang why do you have to be so formal?”

He looked up and saw Tang Zhen looking embarrassed as he said, "I am thankful for the scolding you gave me a few days ago, and forced me to revise in my room before the examinations. One of the questions that came out, I had just revised during that period. And so I have to thank you.” 

“Haha, that really happened? Then it is your destiny.” Pei Zi Yun smiled as he spoke sincerely. This man truly has some good fortune, having a question that came out during his revision.

As he finished his porridge, he noticed a few more candidates returning but was not bothered. He went up to his room and lay on his bed. Within moments he was immersed in sweet dreams.  
 
 …………

School, Marking Hall

The top papers had already been arranged by merit, but had to wait for the rest to be sorted before they could be released. The marking hall consisted of people who recorded the marks, script collectors and seal affixers. In the west hall, officials were in charge of reading and internal circulation. 

The script collectors will ferry the scrips to the seal room, where they will be stamped to protect the integrity of the papers before they are delivered to the recording room to be copied.

Once copies had been made, both the original and copies would be transported across the hall to reading rooms. The officials will read both documents to ensure that they are exactly the same. They will retain the original and pass the copied version to the great hall. 

The great hall was some distance away and the scripts have to be handed outside. Within the great hall, an official would be reading the scripts behind a screen, making it resemble an office of sorts. 

When every official had finished reading the scripts and were satisfied with its quality, they would each indicate with a circle on top, before handing it to the room chief. 

After the room chief was satisfied, he too would affix a circle onto the top of the script before sending it over to the deputy chief examiner. Likewise, when the deputy chief examiner was content with the quality of the script he would indicate with a circle and finally send it to the chief examiner. 

The night sky was littered with an abundance of stars. Just as the room was littered with candles, illuminating the entire place. 

The layout of the room was very simple. There were a couple of tables and chairs. The table was full of examination scripts. The chief examiner was called Ye Xiang Gao and he was a 50 years old man with an entire head of white hair. He was looking at the reading officials, "Today you are here grading examination papers, do not forget those hard years of studying. But more importantly, do not forget the trust invested in you by the dynasty. Be alert when marking the scripts, if there are any discrepancies, be sure to voice it out.”

The officials acknowledged and proceeded with their duties.

The reading officials were all professors in the relevant subjects, and there were fixed answers to the first section, so the grading for this part was straightforward. 

After a short while, one of the officials shouted, "Question five of the justice segment had been answered wrongly. Everyone was able to get this question right but this candidate made a mistake.”

As he said this, he threw that script into the bottom percentile. 

In this examination, there were around two thousand seven hundred scripts. But with many marking officials, within moments the first part of it had been graded. 

“Your excellency, of two thousand seven hundred and forty one scripts, three hundred and ninety one had fallen behind due to error in answers and are at the bottom of the cohort. 

Those scripts that had fallen to the bottom are deemed hopeless and will only receive attention when all the scripts had been marked. Unless a miracle happens, chances of these scripts making it are very slim.

“Two thousand three hundred and fifty scripts shall now be marked on the next segment.” Announced the chief examiner. 

“Yes!” Now that they were marking the big questions, the speed would be much slower. Late in the night, one of the officials yawned. Even if there were many marking officials, with so many words to read, they would surely feel dizzy and see stars after some time. Holding on to one script, he read the contents before shouting, "What rubbish is he writing.”

It was then tossed to the bottom of the cohort. 

Moving on to the next script, he straightened up and smiled, "Not bad, this is a good piece!”

He then circled the top of the paper and was about to put it aside but could not bear to, "A script of this quality is hard to come by. I shall enjoy reading it once more.”

The white haired official read it through once more, sampling the quality and sighed, "Rare, a rare quality piece.”

He then wrote, ‘top quality’ below the circle. The official in the room will take a closer look. In a heartbeat, the script had been delivered to the inner room.

If the reading officials were likened to tired dogs, the official in the room was as free as a cat. All he had to read were scripts with a circle on top.

The official in the room was not tired, as he read the scripts without expression. He then called out to the official outside and asked, "This script, was it you who deemed it to be top quality?”

“Yes it was.”

The room official considered for a moment before drawing a circle on top too. He then wrote, "Matured piece of writing, possible top scorer.”

The reading official saw and was shocked. The room official then told a scribe, “Take this to the assistant chief examiner.” 

There were only a few scripts with circles, and even fewer were those that had two circles. When the assistant chief examiner picked up the essay he smiled and said, "There is indeed an outstanding script.”

After reading it, he paused for some time and was stumped. He then drew another circle before handing it to the chief examiner. 

When the chief examiner saw three circles on the paper, he knew that it had been justified by the reading official, the room official and the assistant chief examiner. He then started to read it. 

Before long, the chief examiner sank deep into thought. 

“How is it?” Asked the assistant chief examiner.

The chief examiner paused for some time before saying, "This piece had a certain maturity and depth to it. It is not treacherous, and was written wisely. As for discussion, he has the potential to become a High Scholar. In this examination, he would at least be in third in the first band. However, I noticed a certain regret and self reproach. I am afraid this candidate is not young anymore. 

The assistant chief examiner paused for a second before understanding, "What a shame.”

To say that the road to becoming a High Scholar is free of discrimination is not true. Although merit is important, the candidate in question matters too. Awarding High Scholar status would mean that the dynasty has selected the candidate to potentially become a government official. If the candidate is too old, he would face some discrimination. 

You are already forty five, how many years can you serve after appointing you as an official?

It is evident that an old age comes with a lower chance of scoring well. Many old candidates actually do not stand much chance in succeeding. 

There is some depth to the essay. But someone like this, might not be good for the dynasty. The chief examiner was not satisfied, "So he shall drop?”

“That is so, he shall drop.” The chief examiner considered for some time before saying, "Place him in the middle of the second band!”



Earth Immortals are cultivated from a blessed land,
Heaven Immortals move to and fro from the divine mountains.
I have a stalk of plum blossom, and I shall maraud the Will of the Heavens with it!

Su Zimo continued reading.
'The Chaos Ocean was created by the Human Emperor using everything he learned after he entered the Extreme Foundation Establishment realm and observed the secrets of heaven and earth while pursuing the origins of the universe. It's the top among thousands of phenomenons and is the number one across history!"
Top among thousands of phenomenons and number one across history!
What an incredible evaluation!
Su Zimo was secretly shocked.
Although he had also cultivated to the Extreme Foundation Establishment realm, the Golden Core phenomenon he cultivated did not depend on the number of spirit meridians he had unlocked, but his experiences and his comprehension of his cultivation.
There was a high chance that this Golden Core Phenomenon Ranking was from a hundred years ago.
Su Zimo did not know what sect or background Di Yin was from to be able to comprehend a Golden Core phenomenon created by the Human Emperor.
Any cultivator that could occupy the top spot of the Phenomenon Ranking was definitely not someone to be messed with.
It was clear judging from Yan Beichen's methods.
Su Zimo continued reading.
Phenomenon Ranking No. 2.
Heartless Ye, Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.
When he saw Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, Su Zimo knew that the cultivator was the successor of Asura Sect.
In that battle at Ethereal Peak, the same phenomenon appeared behind the Asura Yan Beichen and it had a tremendous might. With a single strike, it killed two Void Reversions!
Su Zimo continued reading.
Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, created by the first Asura of the ancient era.
Initially two different Golden Core phenomenons, Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea. Although there have been many fiend heirs in Asura Sect, few of them could fuse the two together.
Once fused, it possesses terrifying might and can be ranked in the top ten of the Phenomenon Ranking!
Su Zimo nodded silently.
According to Yan Beichen's words, he should have become number one of the Phenomenon Ranking a thousand years ago by relying on this Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!
Although Chaos Ocean was the number one phenomenon throughout history, the ranking on the Phenomenon Ranking wasn't determined solely on one's phenomenon, but the strength of the cultivator as well.
Even for the same Golden Core phenomenon, the strength displayed by two cultivators releasing it would be worlds apart if they had different levels of comprehension towards it.
Phenomenon Ranking No. 3.
Monk Pujian, Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.
The appearance of the ancient Buddha accompanied by a green lantern booms loudly in Sanskrit across all directions, incinerating all living beings and suppressing all demons, ghosts and fiends. Cultivated to its peak, it can be considered as a top ten on the Phenomenon Ranking!
There were a bunch of other Golden Core phenomenons behind the Phenomenon Ranking and they were dizzying. Su Zimo was extremely curious as he hadn't heard of them before.
Eternal Kingdom, Meandering River Sunset, Glass Divine Light, Underworld, Thousand Swords United, Amplifying Fog, Limitless Hell, Endless River Mountains, Eastern Purple Qi, Seven Floor Pagoda, Buddha's Radiance, Incinerating Embers, Yin Yang Double Fishes…
Every single Golden Core phenomenon had a detailed introduction.
Su Zimo continued browsing and could roughly deduce the sects or factions the phenomenons belonged to judging from their names and descriptions.
For example, Glass Divine Light should be a Golden Core phenomenon of Glass Palace.
The description displayed high regards for Glass Divine Light and if it was released at its peak, it could be considered as a top ten on the Phenomenon Ranking!
Underworld and Limitless Hell should be Golden Core phenomenons of the fiend sects.
As for Seven Floor Pagoda and Buddha's Radiance, those should be phenomenons of the Buddhist monasteries.
Gradually, Su Zimo realized that the Phenomenon Ranking was mostly occupied by the super sects of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects as well as the various powerful factions of Tianhuang Mainland.
Of the top 108 spots on the Phenomenon Rankings, there were only around 60 Golden Core phenomenons.
Most of them were repeated, coming from different cultivators of the same sect.
After reading through the Phenomenon Ranking, Su Zimo did not discover any Golden Core phenomenon similar to his.
Frowning slightly, he felt somewhat dejected.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, his expression changed.
At the end of the Phenomenon Ranking was another page.
When Su Zimo flipped over, he saw that there were also some Golden Core phenomenons listed on the last page.
Those were phenomenons that had appeared once without reappearing or had gone extinct.
First row.
World Cleansing Green Lotus. Originally a phenomenon of Fahua Monastery, the eternal green lotus glowed brightly and had a terrifying strength that could cleanse all evil in the world. This was something that could be considered as a top ten on the Phenomenon Ranking!
However, 10,000 years ago, the North Region met with a catastrophe and the Great Qian Empire was destroyed along with Fahua Monastery, leading to the loss of the World Cleansing Green Lotus.
At that point, Su Zimo was enlightened.
"So, one of the two great monasteries that was destroyed in that catastrophe 10,000 years ago was Fahua Monastery."
Su Zimo shook his head, a little stunned.
Now that 10,000 years have passed, how many people could still remember that flourishing empire and monastery?
If that was the case for a destroyed super sect, a fallen paragon would probably be lost in the sands of time and be forgotten by everyone after a hundred years.
As Su Zimo continued reading, he could not help but shudder as his eyes lit up.
Primordial Divine Turtle. An amphibious divine being that is lost.
Primordial Soaring Serpent. A fire divine being that is lost.
Legend has it that in the primordial era, the thousands of races fought one another and all life was in turmoil. Blood was shed everywhere as corpses lined the ground.
That massive battle caused the skies to topple and the ground to collapse. Void currents surged everywhere; meteors crashed; the ground caved in while lava spurted everywhere, killing countless lives.
Su Zimo was in deep thought at this point.
The battle royale of the primordial era was something that he had heard Uncle Liang of Elixir Yang Sect mention before. However, he did not know the reason for it.
What he knew was that the battle was the reason why only a hundred races were left with thousands of races going extinct. Because of that, the human race gained a respite and managed to rise up!
Su Zimo continued reading.
Finally, that battle alarmed two divine beasts of the primordial era, the turtle and serpent to descend at the same time!
The divine turtle managed to carry the heavens with its shell and suppress the void currents with its limbs.
The soaring serpent rose from beneath the ground. With a snake's head, anaconda's body, dragon scales, phoenix wings, no horns nor legs and strength comparable to a True Dragon, it devoured all the lava and suppressed the volcanoes everywhere.
The appearance of the turtle and snake saved all lives!
Experts of the human race who witnessed that were moved and created the two phenomenons by comprehending them.
Throughout history, there would occasionally be cultivators who managed to comprehend the two Golden Core phenomenons of the primordial era. However, none of them could display the same might of the past.
There were rumors that when the Phenomenon Ranking was just created, the two Golden Core phenomenons were listed among the top ten.
Upon seeing this, Su Zimo suddenly had an epiphany.
He finally understood the meaning behind the two phenomenons.
When he was forming his core, his dantian contained the energies of fire and water which were starkly different. Both of them clashed repeatedly with neither side willing to relent.
As such, the two energies intensified continuously while contesting against one another!
Finally, with the risk of Su Zimo's body exploding, the two different energies finally stabilized and reached a balance.
At that moment, the energies of fire and water were already at their limits.
That was also the reason why Su Zimo managed to witness the two shocking scenes of the primordial era!
The divine turtle represented water while the soaring serpent represented fire.
The reason why the Primordial Divine Turtle and Primordial Soaring Serpent was not in the previous iteration of the Phenomenon Ranking wasn't because they weren't strong enough, but because both of them had gone extinct for many years.
Smiling gently, Su Zimo felt a sense of pride.
No matter the past of the two Golden Core phenomenons, now that the both of them were in his hands in this generation, he was certain that he would definitely be able to release them to an unparalleled degree!



He is a young man without a spirit root. It is believed that this denies him the chance at cultivation. However, a mysterious lady imparts a Supreme Demon Classic to him and from then on, he starts his path of cultivation.
He undergoes a total transformation to emerge as the most fearsome and powerful fiendish demon in his era, that even immortals and fiends are fearful of him, and saints are at his beck and call.
Mastering the Supreme Demon Classic is the turning point in his life. He is able to unleash his immense and divine power from within, illuminating the entire universe!

I apologise!
I apologise for the year-long break I took.
Everyone has their real-life problems, and mine is more or less the same except there had been many deaths this year...
So, I really took a long time before deciding to start writing again last month.
Did a lot of editing to the best of my ability and wrote a few chapters. I even read my own story, refreshing my memory on it to gather more details.
I wrote numerous plots before and had to discard it because I couldn't decide on one... because everything felt... a little bland. This is also the reason why I stopped writing for a long while.
Then a month ago, I noticed few people started reading my novel for no reason, and I was like, 'There are people still reading this?
Even two weeks ago, a comment was made asking me to post more chapters.
For some reason, I felt happy and decided to type again.
Anyway, thank you all for waiting, and if you all forgot the plot, I typed a quick yet simple summary which might help you remember the events of Vol 1 and Vol 2.
Now, let's move on to Vol 3!!

Power Stones Ranking (Updated : 29th September 2021)
16th so far

Golden Ticket Ranking:
11th so far


Other than this, I'm planning for individual mass releases as well but don't rely on it.

As one of the three major comics journals in Los Angeles, Man Ying has sold more than 300,000 per issue. If a comic can be ranked first in the reader's popularity vote of the three major journals, basically the author of this work is in the comics industry in Los Angeles. It can be called a well-known cartoonist.
　　If you go further and can regularly vote for the top in such journals, then the author will already be at the top of the comic book industry in Los Angeles.
　　Dong Yun, who transferred Cuttlefish from Fengyu Comics, is a cartoonist of this level. In Los Angeles, she is already a top cartoonist. If she wants to further her influence, she can only look at the magic city. Or RB Island.
　　Dong Yun is a very ambitious woman. From the beginning of drawing comics to the present seven years, she has managed to achieve her present status in the comics industry in Los Angeles. From the outside, it seems that her career as a cartoonist has been smooth sailing. At the age of twenty-six, he became famous in the comics circle of Los Angeles and stood at the top.
　　But only she knew in her heart that her current achievements could be considered top-notch in Los Angeles, but looking at Long Nation, it was nothing at all.
　　So when she learned that her work had been lost to a newcomer's work at the Cuttlefish Comics Club's serialization meeting, her first reaction was not to find it ridiculous and incomprehensible.
　　On the contrary, she felt heavy in her heart at the time, unlike the somewhat arrogant Song Jiayu. Dong Yun knew very well in her heart what kind of existence the so-called newcomer was.
　　After all, she also relied on newcomers to make her debut back then, stepping on a group of old seniors to reach the top of Tianyin comics.
　　Now she knows well about the two popular works of Cuttlefish Comics, Mo Jing and Tian Shu. Only after the first episode of her new work Hidden Girl was published, it has surpassed Tian Shu in popularity and ranked second. As for Mo Jing, she has confidence In January, the popularity vote surpassed the Demon Realm, and it has been on the top for a long time.
　　In that case, after the completion of this secret girl, she won first place in two top journals in Los Angeles. This will be of great benefit to her future development in the magic city. With such achievements, coupled with Song Jiayu's promise Help, she is confident that she can stand firm in the magic city.
　　The only variable is...
　　Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance!
　　Dong Yun looked at the latest issue of the ink shadow in her hand.
　　She flipped the book to the position of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.
　　To be honest, for ordinary people, the first forty pages of the first chapter can't tell what is famous, but Dong Yun doesn't know why. Looking at the comics in the Remembrance of Rurouni Kenshin, he feels very A strong sense of oppression.
　　...
　　Time passed in a hurry, and another week passed.
　　Sun Ji, a six-year-old book fan of Manuscript, basically buys every issue of Manuscript.
　　In Sun Ji's opinion, the latest comic magazine is undoubtedly of high quality. It not only has the old popular comics Demon Realm and Tianshu, but also the new work of the top cartoonist Dong Yun in Los Angeles, which was officially serialized in the previous issue.
　　But in addition to these three comics, Sun Ji is also very concerned about a comic called Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance that was serialized in the previous issue.
　　It tells the story of a swordsman in troubled times during the change of times on the island of RB more than 100 years ago.
　　The drawing is smooth, the plot is fluent, and there is not a single page of comics that is talking nonsense.
　　Although the protagonist is not very immersive in the work of the largest ethnic minority Yamato Nationality in the Long Kingdom, after seeing it, I feel that this work is really good-looking.
　　Killing in order to save people, killing people in order to save troubled times is inherently contradictory.
　　It is very different from other works on Man Ying. He feels sick when he reads those campus comics!
　　After reading the new chapters in the three works of Demon Realm, Tianshu, and Hidden Girl, Sun Ji also turned the manga journal to the latest chapter of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.
　　The memories of Kenshin and his master are interspersed in the plot, and how Kenshin complies with the ideals of saving this era in his heart, and finally comes to Kyoto and becomes a swordsman who has changed the color of the people of Kyoto...or an executioner. ...
　　Gradually,
Sun Ji's eyes became serious.　　The girl who left in the tavern, Jianxin who was attacked in the rainy night...
　　In the end, Kenshin cuts down the powerful enemy under the assassin's attack. It is clean, neat and not muddy.
　　Suddenly, Sun Ji's blood boiled over.
　　This is too handsome!
　　But in the next scene, the fierce, handsome and bloody battle style changed.
　　In front of Kenshin, there was a woman holding an umbrella, wearing a white kimono, on the umbrella, on her clothes, and on her face, it was only when Kenshin killed the killer that she splashed on her.
　　The wound on Jian Xin's face is bleeding again...
　　He raised his head and saw only a beautiful face stained with blood.
　　"You really..."
　　"Can summon... a bloody storm!"
　　Although the woman in the comics has blood stains on her body and is in the scene where Jianxin killed people, this picture makes Sun Ji feel an indescribable beauty.
　　Sun Ji couldn't wait to scroll down.
　　Who is that woman?
　　What kind of story will happen between Jianxin and her...
　　But immediately, Sun Ji's face froze.
　　The comic on the next page has only seven characters.
　　The first act, the executioner, over!
　　What?
　　Gone?
　　Author, what are your morals?
　　The originator of the broken chapter world?
　　For a while, Sun Ji's complexion was not good.
　　But his heart is itchy, this kind of plot is suddenly gone when the climax, that feeling is really uncomfortable.
　　Can I only wait for next week?
　　The moment when this thought came into being, Sun Ji also noticed the change in his mentality. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
　　He was thinking about it for a while. After reading the latest words of Demon Realm, Tianshu, and Hidden Girl, he just thought that these three works were not bad, but he didn't have the eagerness to watch them.
　　But after reading the latest episode of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, it was completely different, a sense of anticipation that hadn't appeared in a long time.
　　"Interesting!" Sun Ji whispered.
　　I read a lot of comics, and my resistance is much stronger. It's been a long time since I encountered a work that made him impatient to follow up.
　　"Yes, is the author named Shui Xin? I remember, today I made an exception and wasted some time to vote for you on the website!"
　　....
　　The same scene also appeared in Ming City, and even in various places in Los Angeles.
　　Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Because the length of the first issue of the serialization has been lengthened, the first and second chapters of the manuscript were merged into one and published in the previous issue. Therefore, the second chapter of this issue is actually the third chapter of the serialization meeting. , Ending with the first meeting of Xuedaiba and Jianxin.
　　Originally, after the comics industry in Los Angeles came out in the last issue of the comics, they watched this work with anticipation, but found that the whole story was about the characters on the scene. There was no conflict in the plot at all, and it was plain. In addition, the voting results of the first episode of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance were very mediocre, and I was a little disappointed for a while, and thought that the Cuttlefish editorial department collectively took a look!
　　But after reading this, it is true that almost everyone has an idea in their hearts.
　　"so amazing!"
　　No wonder, I was able to defeat that Dong Yun to get a serialization opportunity.
　　For a while, many people in the comics circles in Ming City were asking where did this newcomer named Shui Xin come out?
　　Also, is this kind of work really painted by a newcomer?
　　Isn't that old cartoonist who changed his vest and came out to start a new work?

Hello, I'm Killerbee, the author of this novel. I'm just posting this auxiliary chapter to clarify some things.
Many of you would know that I dropped Top Star, which was my most popular novel. I got hate comments and reviews for that, and I even deserve it.
But, I have personal problems and for more than a month, I was not writing.
I was even only posting my stockpiles for my second novel, VRMMO: The Returnee.
It was only recently that I started writing again. You may ask why didn't I continue Top Star now. Actually, I can but I have already posted the afterword. Honestly, I don't want to go back to it.
The reason why I'm even writing this note is because I don't want readers to just give negative reviews to this novel, just because I dropped Top Star (I got those types of reviews in my second novel).
Second thing is that I won't drop this novel. I can promise that.
I don't know if readers would give me a second chance, but I hope they do. Anyway, I will end this here.
Thank you to all those who are reading or will be reading 'Let me make you a Star!'

Just as Zhang Zian, Old Time Tea and Famous were at their wits end on what they could do for Pi, a sudden friend request surprised him.

Feather of the Specter?

Zhang Zian found the name very familiar. Could this be the internet celebrity in the Qidian reading list community?

While helping Pi advertise, Zhang Zian had seen Feather of the Specter's reading list. It was a super deluxe reading list, almost every book came with a thousand word review, and almost every book had immense popularity. What's even more terrifying, is that Feather of the Specter is also one of the chiefs for most of the books on the list!

People who send in a reward of 1,000 Yuan to the books they like, will then be considered a chief of that book.

Back in his college days, 1,000 Yuan could last Zhang Zian's a month, with enough left over for him to save some of it as funds for when he had a girlfriend. Of course, those funds would still be quietly lying within a bank.

Sob story aside, Feather of the Specter had been casually rewarding books and becoming one of their chiefs. Could he be a tall, rich hunk or could she be a fair, wealthy beauty? Daughter of a coal mine owner or young master of an oil tycoon family?

Zhang Zian had selected two reading lists as his target for advertising, one with over 10,000 followers and another with over 3,000 followers. Feather of the Specter's reading list was in the top ranks of the reading list community and had over 50,000 followers.

Books that were added by Feather of the Specter's reading list, immediately welcomed a large increase of adds, the effects comparable to having a recommendation on the homepage.

Saying that Feather of the Specter was Qidian's underground monarch wasn't an understatement. So, why was this person looking for Pi?

Could it be that he wants to strike a secret deal? Zhang Zian trembled at the thought.

After some hesitation, he accepted the request, no point brooding if it was a blessing. If it was trouble, we wouldn't be able to avoid it. Just like Old Time Tea said, "evil never prevailed over good."

Although Pi was the author, Zhang Zian didn't want to make it worry unnecessarily while the other party's intention was still unclear. He planned to solve Pi's issues, so that Pi can focus on his novel. Whatever the other party wanted, they could talk to him first.

So he calmed himself down and typed away.

[Jie Po]: I'm the author, is there something you need?

This message was sent out after much deliberation, as he couldn't be too arrogant nor too humble. Even if the other party was Qidian's underground monarch, who had the ability to easily crush Pi's novel, he had to try.

After Zhang Zian explained who the other party was, Old Time Tea supported his approach.

[Feather of the Specter]: I've always wanted to chat with you, but couldn't find the time.

Zhang Zian wasn't able to make an image of the person. He decided to put things out into the open, to make things clear, so he continued typing.

[Jie Po]: What did you want to talk about?

[Feather of the Specter]: I saw you getting attacked in the book review section, feels bad right?

[Jie Po]: Actually I was just about to delete the posts. Just so you know, I didn't hack into anyone's account to rig votes, but it's fine if you don't believe me.

[Feather of the Specter]: I know, lots of books face these issues before they explode with popularity. Let me rephrase that, congratulations, you're going to be on fire.

Zhang Zian coughed out of confusion. What kind of freak logic was that?

[Feather of the Specter]: I've been on Qidian for so long, I'm able to know if a book is going to be popular or not. If you don't believe me, go take a look at the homepage new novel rankings.

The homepage new novel rankings is for newcomers who've made their debut with new novels around the same period, it's based on the number of recommendations, adds and view counts a book has. Competition within the new novel rankings is very fierce because making it to the top three is like getting a free recommendation. 

Zhang Zian doubtfully logged into the Qidian homepage with his phone, dragged the page all the way down to the bottom and there it was, Pi's novel occupying the top spot of the new novel rankings! 

How was this possible? When did this happen?

Zian had once noticed the new novel ranking, but felt that it had nothing to do with Pi's novel. Only phenomenal novels will make a name for themselves out of the ranking, so he didn't pay it any further attention.

[Feather of the Specter]: Understand now? You made your way up and pushed others down, so they got jealous, but it's okay. If you're not making others jealous, that means you're doing something wrong.

Finally, Zhang Zian found out why the posts happened. However, it was just the first step, what's the next step to take care of the situation?

[Feather of the Specter]: I've noticed your novel for a while now. I didn't add it to the reading list because it was still new, now, with this opportunity, let me give you a hand.

Give you a hand? You mean push me down a cliff?

Before Zhang Zian could understand what Feather of the Spector meant, he saw Pi rush down the stairs and almost fall.

"Zhi zhi! Zhi zhi!"

Pi waved its arms, its eyes wide open, like something terrifying just happened. Thank goodness the curtains weren't open and Zhang Zian was the only human in the shop, so they didn't need to worry about Pi being seen by anyone.

"Slow down, Pi! What happened?" Zhang Zian's heart felt like it was being squeezed. 

Pi frantically pulled Zian into the bedroom, trembling as it stretched out its arm to point to its author platform on the computer.

The usually empty reward list had a new name.

Reward value: 1,000 Yuan!

In an instant, a line of red words flashed across the book review section, getting rid of all the horrid posts.
