Before this, every time the Warding Off Evil Cat appeared, it was always hiding; no one had seen its real self.
Zhang Zian had always thought it was a black cat because it was always able to totally blend into the dark shadows, but upon careful observation, he found that its fur color was not completely black. Instead, it was a dark blue color with hints of gray under the sunlight.
Famous had seen many kinds of pet cats in the pet shop, but not that one. It asked Zhang Zian, confused, "English Shorthair? It's an English Shorthair?"
Zhang Zian shook his head slightly. "No, it's not an English Shorthair."
English Shorthairs were dominant in China. Many people would open their mouths and say that it was an English Shorthair when they saw a blueish gray cat. Even Famous was no exception, but Zhang Zian could tell at a glance that the Warding Off Evil Cat was not an English Shorthair.
"If I did not identify it incorrectly, from the unique features of its appearance, it is a mixed breed of the Russian Blue and a native cat," he said.
The Russian Blue, the France Chartreux Cat, and the English Shorthair were called the world's three biggest blue cats, but the other two were rare in China. When they appeared, they were also mistaken for English Shorthairs.
Zhang Zian had not interacted with a Russian Blue in real life before, but he was, after all, running a pet shop, and normally he would try to increase his professional knowledge. If he was stumped by the questions of the customers, he could not act knowledgeable anymore.
The unique part about the English Shorthair was that its eyes were circular, its face was circular, its claws were circular, the tip of its tail was circular, and its torso was circular; it had various kinds of circles all over.
Although the Russian Blue was also blue, compared to the British Shorthair, the Russian Blue was slender. It had slender limbs, and a small and sharp face. If it was impossible to distinguish between them, there was a better way to distinguish between them. The Blue Shorthair had yellow eyes, while Russian Blue cats had green eyes with a hint of a gold rim. Of course, their pupils were black or brown.
Compared to the purebred Russian Blue cat, the Warding Off Evil Cat's fur color was darker. It could be mistaken for black and gray in the dark. Some details were different from the pure Russian Blue cat. It was due to the integration of native cat's genes into its body. The Russian Blue cat's trademark golden-edged green eyes made it such that Zhang Zian could not mistake it for anything else.
The Warding Off Evil Cat walked over as if there wasn't anyone nearby. It commented, "You're a little interesting. You're one of the few bright spots in this indifferent and selfish world. I had high expectations for you at first, but you finally disappointed me a little. If the full score was 100, I could barely give you 60 points."
Zhang Zian did not know what kind of points it was giving him, but he thought it seemed like it was talking about the process he went through to save the infant. Even Old Time Tea, who had high expectations and was strict, gave him very good reviews. What right did it have to give him 60 points?
In all fairness, in the process of saving the infant, there were some details that were not that good. If he had time to think carefully, perhaps he could find a better way to solve it. Even so, he had to have done better than just barely passing… Right?
And it was talking way too big. It said that the world was indifferent and selfish… Even if the world was flawed and bad, at least most people were good people, right? For example, the traffic policemen and assistant policemen who helped. Without them, that problem from earlier would not have been solved so smoothly.
Old Time Tea shook its head slightly, disagreeing with the Warding Off Evil Cat's comments.
"What are you referring to? Are you talking about the things just now? Did you see everything?" Zhang Zian asked, finding it strange.
"Of course." The Warding Off Evil Cat nodded, chuckling. "Did you think that it was a coincidence you met those two swindlers that could be human traffickers?"
Zhang Zian was stunned. What did it mean? If it was not a coincidence, could it be that… it had purposely lured him to that special street, let him meet that young man and woman, and then took the opportunity to observe his reaction?
He had thought that they had set a trap to corner the Warding Off Evil Cat, but the truth was that he had already fallen to the Warding Off Evil Cat's scheme. It purposely calculated a plan and give him an invitation into the urn…
At that time, on the nearby walls and roofs, a number of different stray cats appeared, staring at them from afar.
Since the stray cats could inform it of Zhang Zian's movements, it could also inform the young man and woman's movements to him. It was not running around in the old city before, but instead it was looking for the right time for him to meet young man and woman… It could have even been traced back to the moment when it appeared on the eaves of Taihe Hall. Since then, it had been luring the enemy in.
Zhang Zian was shocked. What a deep scheme! What a careful plan!
In front of it, he felt that he had really become an idi*t that felt like he knew everything.
"When I noticed you on the parade square, I already felt that you were quite interesting, so I planned a small test for you. However, you disappointed me a little." It shook its head with pity.
"Where did I disappoint you? You said you gave me 60 points. I want to know where you reduced the other 40 points. Was it because I hesitated in making some decisions?" Zhang Zian asked, unsatisfied.
The choices he were talking about, of course, were the moments when he made a choice between pursuing the Warding Off Evil Cat and pursuing the young man and woman. He did hesitate because he was not sure whether the young man and woman were human traffickers. But even so, even if he had chased them earlier, the result would not have changed. It was not so bad to deduct 40 points…
"No, of course not. Under this kind of situation, hesitating is normal." The Warding Off Evil Cat rejected his guesses. "At that time, I saw that you had clenched your fist, am I correct?"
"That's right," Zhang Zian admitted. When he felt that the two people could be human traffickers, he had clenched his fist in anger.
"Then why didn't you punch them?" it asked with a matter-of-fact look.
Zhang Zian: "…"
"Under normal circumstances, no one would punch them, right?" He was full of insults. "At that time, I was not sure if they were actually human traffickers or not…"
"But you could at least confirm that they were cheating money, right?" it continued to ask.
"That's right," he admitted. "But cheating a few tens or hundreds of yuan does not require punching them… Furthermore, that was a woman. As a man, hitting a woman because of that kind of small thing is really…"
"See, that's where your problem lies. You are too benevolent––you're like a woman!" The Warding Off Evil Cat cut off his explanation. It widened its eyes and said sternly, "In your eyes, that's a woman, but in my eyes, that's a reactionary!"
Zhang Zian said, "…It isn't so bad that you need to call her a reactionary right…?"
It said indignantly, "You recognized the real face of the reactionaries, yet you still went to great lengths to track down and seek help. You almost let the reactionaries flee. This is the worst strategy for fighting!"
"Then what's the correct fighting strategy?" Zhang Zian asked.
It was exasperated at his failure to improve. It raised its front paw, then hit it heavily on the ground. "You need to have physical fights, not literary fights!"

The Skeletons held their weapons with their mouths as they climbed up the cliff incredibly quickly. In just a few moments, they had almost reached the top of the cliff, which was ten or so meters high, and a dense sea of Skeletons was quickly forming at the cliff with unstoppable momentum.
When he saw this, Zhao Fu ordered his soldiers to pour buckets of Yang blood. Upon landing on the Skeletons’ bodies, the Yang blood’s effects were like that of boiling water, causing white smoke to rise from the Skeletons and for them to fall down.
The Yang blood dyed the cliff red, causing the masses of Skeletons to seem somewhat apprehensive. They didn’t dare to come close anymore, and it seemed that Zhao Fu would be able to use Yang blood to suppress these Skeletons.
However, the battle wasn’t so simple!
_Swish, swish, swish…_
Suddenly, sharp arrows filled with deathly aura shot up towards Zhao Fu’s side from below. It wasn’t just Zhao Fu who had Archers – the Skeleton Archers also started to shoot powerful arrows. Immediately, Great Qin soldiers responded by forming shield walls, creating impenetrable walls of iron.
_Bang, bang, bang…_
The arrows shot up from below like a sea of arrows. Some hit shields, while others hit the cliff, giving off dull thuds.  
The Skeletons caught this opportunity to start climbing up the areas where there wasn’t any Yang blood. The countless arrows forced Zhao Fu’s side to continuously defend, and Zhao Fu’s side couldn’t do anything about the Skeletons climbing up. Right now, Great Qin’s side was being suppressed by Skeletons.
Luckily, the Skeletons didn’t have unlimited arrows, and after shooting without stopping for a few minutes, the Skeleton Archers’ arrows started to thin out. The Skeletons that had made it to the top didn’t dare to come close because there were countless Evil-Warding Talismans all over the place. Because the area here was much smaller than the town walls and Zhao Fu still had a great amount of the talisman papers, he had his people stick three layers of talisman papers around this area. This was especially to the left and right of the passageway, where they had weaker defenses, and there were also two Gold grade Evil-Warding Talismans left over from the Ghost Festival.
Those two Gold grade Evil-Warding Talismans still had roughly one-quarter of their power and were still more effective than normal Silver grade Evil-Warding Talismans.
The Evil-Warding Power formed from so many Evil-Warding Talismans was simply terrifying to the Skeletons. To them, it felt as if there was a raging inferno ahead of them, and going closer made them feel like they were slowly dying.
By now, the Skeleton Archers had started to slow down due to lack of arrows, and Great Qin side took this opportunity to counterattack. They opened up the shield wall, and Archers, who had long since been ready, drew their bows and started to shoot at the Skeletons that had made it to the top but didn’t dare to approach.
Arrows containing immense force and Ghost-Slaying Power shot towards the Skeletons, causing them to fall back down.
_Bang, bang, bang…_
The Skeletons crumbled into fragmented bones after hitting the ground, making it seem as if it was hailing.  
Even though the Skeletons continuously fell, the other Skeletons didn’t show any fear while climbing up the cliff. However, at the top, because of the powerful Evil-Warding Power, the countless Skeletons couldn’t draw near, and they could only vengefully glare at Great Qin’s soldiers.
Skeletons continuously plummeted down after being hit by arrows, but more Skeletons continuously climbed up. Great Qin’s soldiers didn’t dare to relax for even an instant, using all sorts of methods to deal with the Skeletons around them. The battle was incredibly intense, and the ground below was littered with bones.
Even though Great Qin’s soldiers were quite tired, at least no one had been injured.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened – a gray blur tore through the air and rushed towards Great Qin’s soldiers.
_Bang!_
A massive explosion sounded out as the gray blur smashed into the wall to the left side of the passageway. The rocks crumbled, causing some soldiers to fall down to their deaths, shocking everyone else.
Zhao Fu’s gaze became cold, and he looked at the Skeleton. The Skeleton wore silver-gray armor and held a gray crystal bow, and it stood among the Skeletons. It was a Skeleton General, but its aura was at least four times as powerful as that of a normal Skeleton General.
Not only had the left side of the passageway partially collapsed, but many of the Evil-Warding Talismans had also been destroyed in the process as well.
As soon as the Evil-Warding Power on this side disappeared, a massive number of Skeletons furiously flooded towards them. All of the soldiers there were caught completely unprepared, and it seemed like the situation was going to spiral out of control.
“Bai Qi!” Zhao Fu roared. Bai Qi understood, and he drew his Seven Murders Sword and pointed it upwards as a blood-red aura came out of the soldiers’ bodies and gathered above.
_Skreeeee!!_
A grand bird’s cry sounded out as a blood-red eagle rushed towards the countless Skeletons. Each beat of its wings brought with it a blood-red berserk gale, sending the Skeletons flying backward and destroying many of them, defusing the tense situation.
However, in the next moment, countless arrows filled with deathly aura shot towards the massive eagle. The Skeleton Archers had once again attacked with their limited arrows, forcing the blood-red eagle to dodge in between attacking and causing the situation on the left side to become tense again.
Zhao Fu immediately gave out orders, and the Archers and ballistae aimed at the Skeleton Archers and started to shoot. Countless arrows arced through the air towards the Skeleton Archers, forcing them to stop shooting and take cover.
The Skeleton Archers either died or ran from the arrows and bolts, preventing them from shooting anymore, and that relieved the situation for the blood-red eagle, allowing it to fully deal with the Skeletons on the left side.
The Skeleton General below once again drew its gray crystal bow as a large amount of deathly aura flowed out from its body and entered the arrow it had nocked on the bow, causing it to shine with a terrifying gray light.
The Skeleton General was about to unleash the same horrifying attack as last time!  
How could Zhao Fu allow it to do as it wished? He coldly harrumphed, brought out the Great Spirit Roc Bow, and instilled it with his King’s Power, causing it to glow with a brilliant violet light.
_Boom!!_
A massive explosion rang out as a gray arrow streaked like a terrifying meteor towards Great Qin’s soldiers. At that moment, Zhao Fu released his arrow, causing it to fly out and turn into a large violet roc that shot towards the gray arrow.
_Bang!!_
The two arrows collided and exploded, causing gray and violet light to shoot in all directions and generating a fierce gale.
At that moment, another powerful aura appeared as another Skeleton General holding a spear and riding a large Skeleton horse appeared.
It turned into a gray blur as it charged over, reaching the cliff in an instant. The Skeleton horse seemed to defy gravity, and it rushed up the cliff on the right side.
This greatly shocked Zhao Fu, and he gave the Great Spirit Roc Bow to Zhang Dahu, whose cultivation was second only to Bai Qi, and told him to use it to suppress the Skeleton Archer General. He also asked Old Logue to support Zhang Dahu.
Zhao Fu went to the right side where the Skeleton Cavalry General was. The Skeleton Cavalry General ignored the Evil-Warding Power and gave off a terrifying aura as it eyed the Great Qin soldiers around it.


“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.

"Tit!" 

~Host please choose~

"This..."

When Luis Park saw the never ending super power, he was gawking... he wanted to have some awesome yet unworthy life skills. And that made his world sank down!

"What the!!!" Luis Park yelled.

"Master!" Butt called.

Butt doesn't know what really happened! At first he saw his master getting excited but then after 2 hours of waiting his master suddenly changed.

His handsome smiling face darkened like a gloomy cloud!

"Why is there...such Running! What is this! Swimming! The fuck! I don't know where the hell did the system got this! What is with this Manning! Shit! I'm a man bro! I'm not gay! Fuck Yaoi! There so many of them... huhu... *cries... why is there trolling? WHERE ARE YOU TIM------MACH----!"

"Tit!"

~Your Time Machine is waiting...please choose now or later...you have 10 seconds to answer, host~


"Why did you give me this military trainings?!! I need super power not life skills!"

"Tit!"

~5 seconds left, host~

'This... If I choose now...then I will no longer have the shame to show off! My slave is expecting from me!'

Luis Park thought of getting unworthy praise from his slave.

'No I won't be a laughingstock! I am his master! The best of all! The TYCOON!

Without hesitation he decided.

"Tim------mach----! I choose....."

*ponder

He stopped and pose a little.

'There are hundreds of them, but I need is the most important thing I want to have! First, in order to live, something like, dodging, escaping, stealthing, that is to live again! To survive! 2nd I also like looting, mining, digging, and constructing! But... what is the best is stealing and brewing! According to the Manhua and dictionary brewing is the same as the Pill Making in the Immortals! If I steal then ...*paused.. No!' He stopped then continued his thoughts running.

"Stealing is useless when there are no 2nd skill! And that I can't escape! There something's else I need a trap to lure them out! Now I don't know which to pick! This system is not genuine! I thought 1 would be enough...I thought it was like a speedy or flashy thing! But he gave me a hundred of choices of life skills! I know about arming and firing yet there were no weapons here. In order to start... I need the basics!  And that I will later use and compliment with other skills! If I pick steal then escaping then dodging thennn! Hahaha! I can be the greatest thieve in the world! But... I'm a hero! A hero must not be a villain but being a villain is also good. I also wanted to pick the poisoning but I still have no idea what is the cure. I think it compliments with the bandaging? For now let's pick this!

" Tim------mach---- I choose...."

"I choose Warding!"

"Tit!"

~Host choice has been saved~

"Haha! Warding is the best! If they just know how awesome to have wards! I can do anything! I can pickaboo! I will ward them off and see where this bastard God's!

"Tit!" 

~Sending Data to host, please wait~

"Tit!"

~Warding has been added to Host System Data~ Please check, host~

Then a system Interface popped up.

*tap

Luis Park tapped the System Interface.

"Tit!"

1. Host Data
2. Slave Data
3. System Data

*tap

Luis Park tapped the System Data.

"Tit!"

~System Data~

1. System- Hero Leveling System

Functional:

1. Skill
2. Mission

Note: I used functional as to mean it as usable. Not function it's Functional.

*tap 

Luis Park tapped the Skill

F: Unlocked
1. Warding (Tap to see more)

E: Locked~
D: Locked~
C: Locked~
B: Locked~
A: Locked~
S: Locked~

*tap

Luis Park tapped the warding skill.

~Warding~

~Warding is a type of eye-mapping skill, as a hero host must be aware of his surroundings. The use of warding is to be able to see his enemy. A warding skill for a hero is useful to host. Host can ward a certain area but depend on host level of warding skill. As of now host can only ward 1 place, host~

"Tit!"

~Congratulations host for choosing his first heroic skill~

'Fuck that heroic skill! Do I need to teach this time machine of mine, so he will know what is heroic skill? Fuck! that was basic like skill not hero skills or powers!' Luis Park grumbled in his thoughts.

~Updating host Data, finished.~ Time Machine is shutting down, if host needs me just say. Good luck host~ 

Then the time machine disappeared like none of this world will find out!

"Wait!" 

Luis Park called. But that Time Machine of his disappeared already. There is something on his mind that he wanted to ask. Of course it was all about his bloodline named, Tri-Human.

And that made his mood unstable after that time machine of his, leave him.

But...

"Warding! Haha! I can now do the shameless thing! Haha!"

*laughs

Luis Park laughed in madness! His mind was full of evil thoughts. As if he just there is something that mind and laughs!

Something an innocent person wouldn't know!

"Master?" 

Butt doesn't know what is happening to his master. He can't just ask or disturb him from his communication to his Immortals.

'Is master successful? I think he seems so.' Butt thought.

"So master?"

"Haha! Butt... you wouldn't believe me right?"

*shake

Butt shake, he believed his master.

'Butt if you just know how awesome a warding is, hehe *smile.... I will shock this world! Warding is the best! What is warding for me? Warding is the best weapon to see the enemy! To see them bare! To see the big! Big! and bright! light! the weakness of my enemy! Haha! Haha!' Luis Park laughed with just his thoughts.

"I don't master! I am your slave Immortal! I only trust my master!"

"Yeah.. That's right Butt! Haha! Trust this hand--"

*stopped

'This handsome problem is troubling me!' Luis Park thought. He felt different from just saying the out than thinking.

"Ah nevermind that me! I am the STRONGEST haha!"

"Warding is Life! I don't need to escape, steal and trap, I just need a ward!" 

"Horray! Master! Immortal!" But praised his master.

Luis Park shouted loudly. The proud of his youthful days is back!

"I'm back! The Gaming God is back!"

Luis Park said proudly.

My current self: Warding is Life/ I don't need that steal, I go for kill!

Unbeknownst to them... 

A friend whose name is Dick was grinning.

'This two!'  

To be continued...

Satou, D.

"Days that you need to change back isn't that impossible with a Time Machine." Bold letters were written from the machine itself.
...

One day I got lucky! I found a time-travelling machine! No one knows where this time machine came from. So I did was to try this machine. At first, I don't believe it but it worked! 

If God sent me this heavenly machine then I won't eat noodles again! 

Never ever in this life anymore!

I can be the best of all!

To be continued...

Satou, D.

"Senior, please point out the path of survival." Altar Master summoned up courage, and beseeched.
"Take one of this lord’s attacks. Of course, this lord will not attack with full strength. As long as you can survive under this lord’s attack, this lord will let you live." Song Shuhang extended a finger as he said.
When the feeling of shame reached a critical point, it would break down completely like one’s worldview, values, and view on life. 
After repetitively saying ‘this lord,’ Shuhang didn’t feel so shameful anymore; instead, he said it with more ease.
Altar Master’s expression was clear yet dark. The mysterious senior’s attack... even if not at full strength, casually throwing a flying sword could chip off half his life!
However, he had no room to choose.
Receiving one attack... he might die, but he still had a slim chance of survival. 
If he didn’t accept the senior’s condition, then the senior only needed to send out a flying sword and his head would be cut off in seconds and used as a chamber pot.
Besides… he too had a trick up his sleeve. As an evil ghost cultivator, he had a strange life-saving technique which could use ‘dying’ once as the price to resist the senior’s attack.
Once he thought of that, Altar Master gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, are you serious?"
"This lord is a well-known face in the cultivation world, how could I lie to a junior like you." Song Shuhang said indifferently and continued to look down on Altar Master as if he was looking at an ant.
A ‘well-known face’[1], Shuhang was not lying. As long as one was a normal human, one would have a head and face. Don’t tell me that you don’t have a head and a face?
"Then Senior, please have mercy." Altar Master smiled bitterly. His bitter smile would make someone feel bitterness even from a thousand miles away.
Secretly, within Altar Master’s body, a pure ghost broke its seal and quietly enveloped Altar Master’s body.
The pure ghost was not a ghost with resentful spirit, so it did not fear normal evil-warding techniques.
Of course, the birth of a pure ghost was not easy, because the birth of a ghost was often the result of resentment and hatred. A pure ghost had to be a good person down to the bones who died from injustice. Since the person was so rottenly good, he or she didn’t care about such injustice, and thus would have a chance of becoming a pure ghost…
"Then, take this lord’s sword strike!" Song Shuhang wore an indifferent expression. With the twist of his fingers, a talisman appeared in between his fingertips.
The ‘sword talisman’ gifted by Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman was used for offensive purposes. To activate it, one only need to say the word ‘sword.’ Once executed, it would transform into a sword qi attack at the level of a Third Stage Acquired Battle King that could split mountains. A normal Second Stage True Master cultivator without any special defense methods would be critically injured if not dead.
When Altar Master saw the talisman, he almost broke his teeth from gritting… as an extremely poor low-level loose cultivator, he hated those rich tyrants who tossed talismans at others!
"Stand firm, Junior. Pray for your own luck." Song Shuhang pinched the talisman, his manner was imposing and he could hardly hold back the excitement within, "Sword!"
Indistinctly, an illusory figure appeared behind Shuhang.
That figure used his fingers as a sword, and slashed towards Altar Master.
A bright sword light came from within the talisman. Once the sword light came out, nothing else in the train car could be seen—it was as if the there was only the sword light in between heaven and earth!
This ray of sword light was an exquisite sword technique!
In an instant, Altar Master who was the target was confined, unable to move an inch.
Even dodging was just wishful thinking. He could only stand idly in place, staring as the sword struck his body!
Humiliation? Hate? Fear?
Altar Master’s feeling was as if he’d spilled condiments and all the flavors were mixed together, it was an indescribable taste.
The sword light struck, but it only emitted a faint "Zst~" sound upon contact.
Altar Master’s body was like tofu, easily sliced into two, falling hard onto the ground.
The wound had no blood at all…
The Western monk smacked his lips; it was over just like that? A terrifyingly strong Second Stage True Master cultivator died just like that?
The train car was silent.
Song Shuhang, however, did not let down his guard, his left hand held onto an ‘armor talisman’ and his other hand held onto two ‘sword talismans’ as he stared at Altar Master’s body on the ground.
His opponent was an active cultivator at Ghost Lamp Temple fifty to sixty years ago; as long as he got by fairly, he should have one or two life-saving methods. 
As he thought, Song Shuhang put on a stiff face, and said in a low voice, "You have some skill, now that you’ve taken this lord’s blow, I’ll let you live. Get up, and get out of this lord’s sight! Remember; don’t ever let this lord see you again! Ever!"
Swindling, a skill Song Shuhang was already extremely familiar with.
The Western monk stared blankly; after such a terrifying sword blow, the Second Stage ghost cultivator was still alive?
No way? It was such a frightening attack!
However, once Song Shuhang’s words were uttered, Altar Master’s body that was split in two gradually turned into black smoke, drifting into the air.
Next, Altar Master’s dreadfully pale face appeared on the same spot, and a deep sword gash was left on his forehead. At the critical moment, the life-saving method kept him alive, but the sword strike was too overbearing and still left a deep sword wound.
"Thank you, Senior, for not killing me." Altar Master endured his pain and said, "This junior will leave at once."
Since the senior had already found that he didn’t die, then there was no meaning in hiding it any longer.
The senior did indeed look like he would keep his promise and let him live. If he kept playing dead and accidentally offended this senior, giving him a reason to strike again, then he would truly bite the dust.
With that said, Ghost General Ku You that was also heavily injured floated toward Altar Master from behind while carrying a black suitcase.
The suitcase contained Altar Master’s belongings. Some things were too precious, so he didn’t dare to leave it in the city’s Luo Xin street area. So, he put those belongings in a black suitcase and always carried it with him.
"He’s actually still alive?" the Western monk said in disbelief.
Looking at the dreadfully pale face in front of him, Song Shuhang sighed within. This fellow was actually still alive.
In order to live, this guy staked his all.
If he were really a senior that cared about reputation and held true to his word, he might actually let him live.
But, unfortunately, this lord doesn’t care about saving face! All this lord wants is to make you die!
If you don’t die, this lord can’t eat and sleep in peace. It wouldn’t be possible to live in the days to come!
So, the instant Altar Master picked up the black suitcase, and turned to leave with difficulty… Song Shuhang struck again!
"Sword! Sword!" he had a ‘sword talisman’ in each hand, and he activated both at the same time.
Who knew whether Altar Master had any more life-saving methods? So, he used two sword talismans together! If it weren’t for the fact that humans have only two hands and can only use two sword talismans at once, Song Shuhang wouldn’t hesitate to use the rest of the sword talismans together!
The bright sword light shone again, and two swords formed a cross that struck Altar Master’s body.
Altar Master maintained vigilance as he left, but it didn’t do a damn thing. 
The two sword lights were too fast, and once the light locked onto a target, it had the ability to confine the enemy.
After the sword light struck, Altar Master’s body was cut into four parts, falling hard onto the ground again. However, this time he had no more life-saving methods, there was no way he had survived.
A Second Stage cultivator’s body was extremely sturdy. Even when diced into pieces, Altar Master did not immediately bite the dust. His eyes stared right at Song Shuhang, and in his heart he had infinite curses, but in the end, it turned into two resentful words, "Shame… less!"
Although he knew the senior was a poison user so his personality had to be fickle, but he never expected him to be this shameless, without a bottom line.
"Hehe, whatever you say." Song Shuhang quickly took out another talisman, an ‘evil-warding talisman.’
Altar Master bit the dust, but his resentful ghost Ku You was still alive.
Weeds must be removed by the roots to prevent future trouble!
If Song Shuhang was a complete loner, he needn’t worry about future troubles. Unfortunately, he wasn’t.
"Break!" the evil-warding talisman’s spiritual power hurricane blew again, sweeping through two cabins.
"Zhh…" Ghost General Ku You wailed. Incredibly weakened, it had no chance to run, and was directly purified by the spiritual power of the evil-warding talisman. 
"Dong~~" the black suitcase fell onto the ground.
Right before his death, Altar Master’s body was also purified by the spiritual power of the evil-warding talisman. The power to retaliate before his death was also lost.
Once he thought how his death was imminent, Altar Master’s mind went blank; he yelled disjointedly, "Shame… shameless! True to… one’s words, my… a*ss!"

One day, Song Shuhang was suddenly added to a chat group with many seniors that suffered from chuuni disease. The people inside the group would call each other ‘Fellow Daoist’ and had all different kinds of titles: Palace Master, Cave Lord, True Monarch, Immortal Master, etc. Even the pet of the founder of the group that had run away from home was called ‘monster dog’. They would talk all day about pill refining, exploring ancient ruins, or share their experience on techniques.
However, after lurking inside the group for a while, he discovered that not all was what it seemed... 

Nie Li mengalirkan Heavenly Energy ke pola inskripsi dan membuat ikatan dengan Green Poison Pearl. Ia menyadari bahwa benda ini sepertinya memiliki sifat spiritual tersendiri.
Dengan satu jentikan jari, Nie Li melesatkan Green Poison Pearl pada Blackwater Venom Spider.
*Fwoosh!*
Green Poison Pearl menembus tubuh laba-laba itu. Laba-laba itu langsung berwarna hijau, tertatih dan terjerembab ke tanah dengan lemas.
Dengan satu kehendak, Nie Li menarik kembali Green Poison Pearl itu dari Blackwater Venom Spider ke tangannya, mutiara itu melayang dengan tenang.
Karena Nie Li baru saja menggunakan Green Poison Pearl, ia tak lagi berani menyentuhnya dengan tangan kosong. Racunnya terlalu kuat, bahkan Nie Li tak akan bisa tahan dengan racun itu.
Hati Wu Yazi bergetar melihat Blackwater Venom Spider tergeletak di tanah dengan tubuh hijau. Mutiara yang digunakan Nie Li benar-benar sangat menakutkan. Wu Yazi sendiri bahkan takut untuk menyentuh Blackwater Venom Spider, tapi Green Poison Pearl Nie Li bahkan bisa meracuninya sampai mati!
Nanti, ketika mereka keluar dari Void Illusionary Array, Wu Yazi harus berhati-hati pada mutiara itu.
Selain menggunakan Green Poison Pearl, Nie Li juga mempelajari Evil Warding Jade Strip. Ia mengalirkan Heavenly Energy miliknya dan perlahan membuat ikatan dengannya.
Evil Warding Jade Strip bisa digunakan untuk menekan garis darah demon; kebetulan sekali itu akan sangat berguna melawan Wu Yazi!
Namun, ia hanya bisa menggunakan salah satu dari Evil Warding Jade Strip atau garis darah demon dalam satu waktu.
Setelah membuat ikatan dengan Evil Warding Jade Strip, Nie Li bisa merasakan tiga puluh enam ribu pola inskripsi yang tersembunyi di dalamnya dan bisa mengendalikannya.
Masing-masing pola inskripsi punya kegunaan berbeda; ia akan mempelajarinya nanti.
Sebuah energi misterius juga mengalir dari Evil Warding Jade Strip dan perlahan mengendap di tubuh Nie Li. Ia merasakan energi pola inskripsi itu mengelilingi fate soulnya dan melindunginya.
Energi dari berbagai macam benda lain membuat soul realmnya jauh lebih bergejolak daripada sebelumnya.
*Whoosh!*
Sebuah fate soul muncul, kali ini berwarna perak.
Fate soul ke-delapan!
Sejak melakukan Demon Blood Sacrifice, peringkatnya telah naik tiga kali. Meskipun beberapa juga disebabkan oleh Evil Warding Jade Strip, tidak dipertanyakan lagi bahwa itu berkat darah Primordial Wu Yazi.
Nie Li telah memiliki banyak benda yang kuat yang tidak akan pernah dimiliki oleh seorang ahli peringkat Heavenly Fate biasa. Yang ia perlukan hanya menyerap energi mereka. Masing-masing benda yang dimiliki Nie Li punya kekuatan yang cukup untuk membuatnya bisa menembus peringkat saat ini.
Warna dari fate soul ke-delapan ini membuatnya terkejut.
Nie Li tahu bahwa kombinasi berbagai macam benda telah meningkatkan kekuatannya hingga ke tingkat yang sangat tinggi.
Ia bisa menjadi jauh lebih kuat!
Nie Li memperkuat kultivasinya dan terus mengaktifkan Evil Warding Jade Strip.
Pola inskripsi misterius mengalir ke soul realm Nie Li, satu per satu.
Kekuatannya mulai mendekati 9-fate.
Pola inskripsi misterius itu mengitari Shadow Devil, Fanged Panda, dan Bloodwing Saint Jiao-dragon, kemudian mengikat mereka.
Ketiga demon spirit itu berusaha melepaskan diri.
Apa yang terjadi?
Nie Li terkejut, Shadow Devil, Fanged Panda, dan Bloodwing Saint Jiao-dragon semuanya adalah demon spirit. Evil Warding Jade Strip memiliki kemampuan untuk menekan demon beast, berarti ia juga punya kemampuan menekan demon spirit?
Saat Nie Li menyadarinya, ia langsung mengernyitkan dahi. Ia mempelajari rantai pola inskripsi ini.
Jika ketiga demon spirit itu tersegel, bukankah itu akan buruk untuknya?
Nie Li menimbang kelebihan dan kekurangannya. Evil Warding Jade Strip bisa menekan demon spirit. Di sisi lain, darah dari Demon Blood Sacrifice bisa memperkuat kekuatan mereka. Jika seperti itu…
Nie Li mengalirkan kekuatan Demon Blood Sacrifice ke tiga demon spirit itu.
Tiga demon spirit itu menerima kekuatan Demon Blood Sacrifice dan mulai berusaha melepaskan diri dengan lebih keras terhadap ikatan yang erat itu.
Kekuatan darah Primordial memang luar biasa!
Kekuatan tiga demon spirit itu langsung meningkat pesat.
8-fate, 9-fate…
Setelah mencapai puncak 9-fate, tiga demon spirit itu mulai tidak stabil dan berusaha melepaskan diri dari soul realm Nie Li. Pada saat yang sama, soul realm Nie Li juga terus menguat karena terus menarik demon spirit itu.
Namun, tetap saja demon spirit itu terus bergerak melepaskan diri; darah Primordial ini terlalu kuat!
Demon spirit itu terus tumbuh semakin kuat; hingga setara dengan kekuatan peringkat Heavenly Star tahap-1. Bahkan tangkai yang menahannya seperti sudah tidak kuat lagi.
Tiba-tiba Evil Warding Jade Strip mengeluarkan cahaya menyilaukan dan sebuah aliran pola inskripsi kembali mengikat demon spirit itu, seolah tidak terjadi apa-apa.
Jika kekuatan demon spirit itu melebih kekuatan Nie Li, maka mereka akan lepas dari soul realmnya. Namun, Evil Warding Jade Strip membantunya untuk membuat mereka terdiam.
Dua kekuatan ini akhirnya bisa bekerja seimbang.
Tiga demon spirit itu terus bertambah kuat, dan hanya berhenti setelah mencapai peringkat Heavenly Star tahap-9.
Nie Li mempunyai banyak cara untuk menguatkan demon spiritnya. Namun, ia belum pernah menggunakannya, karena kekuatannya sendiri belum cukup kuat untuk menahan mereka jika lepas kendali. Jika itu terjadi, akibatnya akan mengerikan. Tapi sekarang, ia punya Evil Warding Jade Strip, ia tak perlu lagi khawatir tentang hal itu.
Nie Li berhenti pada peringkat Heavenly Star tahap-3 untuk menguatkan kultivasinya. Meskipun ini bukan batasnya.
Wu Yazi sedang mencoba yang terbaik untuk menahan Blackwater Venom Spider ketika ia dikejutkan dengan aura yang keluar dari Nie Li. Kultivasi Nie Li bisa naik tiga tingkat dalam waktu sesingkat ini! Ia sekarang telah mencapai 8-fate!
Bahkan jenius terhebat dari klan demon akan mengeluh dan mengaku kalah dari Nie Li.
Wu Yazi tak tahu bagaimana Nie Li bisa melakukannya.
Bahkan ia tertekan dengan kecepatan Nie Li meningkatkan peringkatnya.
Xiao Yu juga menatap Nie Li dengan tertegun. Kultivasi Nie Li meningkat begitu cepat hingga ia kesulitan untuk mengikutinya. Ini membuatnya cemas.
"Lihatlah!" Wu Yazi berteriak sambil menunjuk ke depan.
Nie Li dan Xiao Yu langsung menoleh ke arah itu dan tak bisa memalingkan wajah dari cahaya yang dipantulkan ke arah mereka.
Itu hanya sekilat cahaya, namun Wu Yazi begitu tergerak hingga ia menangis. Mereka telah berjalan begitu jauh menyusuri terowongan yang dipenuhi Blackwater Venom Spider ini hingga tangannya kram!
Nie Li dan Xiao Yu berjalan di belakangnya dengan begitu santai. Tidak mungkin mereka akan mengerti perasaannya!
Mereka akhirnya mencapai pintu keluarnya!
Nie Li mulai berbicara sendiri saat ia melakukan perhitungan. Setelah jalan rahasia itu, pasti adalah aula utama Void Illusionary Divine Palace! Setidaknya akan butuh waktu setengah jam bagi ahli lain untuk menembus penghalang kedua. Setelah itu mereka akan menghabiskan dua jam untuk memperhitungkan posisi gerbang kehidupan. Dan itupun jika mereka tak kebingungan.
Nie Li tersenyum dan berkata pada teman-temannya, "Jangan khawatir, kita masih punya banyak waktu."


Terbunuh oleh Sage Emperor dan terlahir kembali sebagai dirinya sendiri ketika berusia 13 tahun, Nie Li diberi kesempatan kedua dalam hidupnya. Sebuah kesempatan kedua untuk mengubah segalanya, menyelamatkan orang-orang yang disayangi-nya dan kota yang ia cintai. Sekali lagi dia akan bertempur dengan Sage Emperor untuk membalas kematiannya. Nie li memulai kehidupan nya lagi dari awal , Disertai dengan pengetahuan luas yang ia dapatkan  dalam kehidupan sebelumnya. Meskipun ia mulai dari yang terlemah, tanpa diragukan lagi, ia akan menaiki tangga menuju yang terkuat.
Dengan berbekal teknik pengembangan ilmu bela diri yang terkuat, menggunakan Demon Spirit terkuat, dia akan mencapai puncak Seni Bela Diri. Permusuhan dari masa lalu akan diselesaikan di kehidupan yang baru.
"Karena aku kembali, maka dalam kehidupan ini, aku akan menjadi Raja bagi para dewa yang mendominasi segalanya. Biarkan segala sesuatu menjadi gemetar di bawah kakiku "


Zhou Wen used Truth Listener to listen to the area beyond the mountain entrance. He found it dead silent. Unable to hear a thing, it was as though the particles inside were motionless, having not generated any vibrations.
Jade Emperor Peak is indeed terrifying. It's such a pity. They prepared for so long, but all their efforts were in vain at the final moment. Zhou Wen felt sorry for An Sheng. If a Mythical Companion Egg dropped, An Sheng's strength would definitely improve greatly. It would be much safer for him to carry out missions in the future.
Along the way, Zhou Wen didn't find the tiny palm symbol. Although Truth Listener's ability couldn't hear the scene around him, he could hear the traces of carvings. If there was a tiny palm symbol, he should have heard it.
An Tianzuo was a decisive person. Since all hope was lost, he did not hesitate to order An Sheng and the officers to leave White Cloud Mountain with him.
Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a miserable scream coming from Jade Emperor Peak. It sounded like a creature's death cry.
"It's Love Letter. It died less than twenty meters away from Jade Emperor Peak. It even dropped a Companion Egg," an officer suddenly shouted.
"How do you know?" An Tianzuo asked.
"I can't hear it, but I can see it with my eyes. It's inside. It's a Companion Egg the size of a football and it resembles white jade. It has blood-colored text on it." The officer had used his hearing, but he couldn't hear anything. As he was unwilling to give up, he thought that it would be fine if he stole a glance. He removed his balaclava and had looked inside—seeing the Companion Egg.
"An Sheng?" An Tianzuo had also used his hearing ability but he couldn't see the situation inside. 
This was because An Sheng's large-eyed Companion Beast gave him the ability of sight. If anyone could see it, An Sheng would be the first, but An Sheng hadn't said anything.
"Even if it's twenty meters, it's within the confines of Jade Emperor Peak. It's no different from two hundred meters or two thousand meters," An Sheng answered.
He was obviously the first person to discover the blood scorpion, but he did not say anything. Even though it was right in front of him, he still chose to give up.
With that said, An Sheng said to the officer, "Old He, put on the balaclava. Are you tired of living?"
"Overseer, Adjutant, why don't we make an attempt? It's less than twenty meters inside. Perhaps there's a way to get the Companion Egg out. That's a Mythical Companion Egg." The officer put on the balaclava and said to An Tianzuo and An Sheng, unwilling to give up.
"Ah Sheng is right. It doesn't matter even if it's two centimeters within Jade Emperor Peak, much less twenty meters," said An Tianzuo.
"Overseer, let's try using Companion Beasts. At most, we will sacrifice a few Companion Beasts. We can still afford to lose them." The officers felt that it was a pity to leave.
"There's no need to try. Haven't we done enough experiments in the past? You can't enter the Jade Emperor Peak, regardless if they are humans or Companion Beasts. The outcome is the same," Ah Sheng objected firmly.
"Overseer, I have a Companion Beast that I obtained in a dimensional zone previously. It's called Evil Warding Spirit Rhinoceros. It has the ability to resist evil powers, so why not let it try? If Adjutant An can obtain a Mythical pet, it'll be a boon for our Sunset Army. In the future, fewer of our brothers will die when we carry out missions…" one of the officers said.
"Then give it a try," said An Tianzuo.
"Thank you, Overseer." The officer was instantly overjoyed.
"Overseer…" An Sheng wanted to stop him.
"If we don't let them try, they won't be willing to give up. Just remember this." An Tianzuo stopped An Sheng from continuing.
As they were speaking, Zhou Wen circled around the mountain entrance. He wanted to see if there was a tiny palm symbol nearby. He didn't have much hope because the tiny palm symbol was typically engraved on a more conspicuous spot. It wasn't on the mountain entrance, so the chances of there being one were rather low.
But he didn't expect to find the tiny palm symbol on a mountain rock to the east of the mountain entrance.
The tiny palm symbol was engraved on a mountain rock that was about the height of a person. It was unknown what color the mountain rock was, but its shape was nothing special. The tiny palm symbol engraved on it was a small hand holding a small mountain-shaped rock.
He took out his phone and took a picture of the small palm symbol.
The phone quickly locked onto the picture and entered the download interface.
Elsewhere, the officer had already summoned a moon-white rhinoceros. The rhinoceros looked very mighty, and it was much bigger than an ordinary rhinoceros. It was even bigger than an adult elephant. Its body was glowing with a jade glow, as though its body was enveloped by moonlight.
"Old He, don't bother. It's a pity to lose a precious Companion Beast like the Evil Warding Spirit Rhinoceros," An Sheng said with a sigh.
"It's fine. It's less than twenty meters away. It's just one step of the Evil Warding Spirit Rhinoceros." Old He was determined. When the Evil Warding Spirit Rhinoceros stood in front of the stone entrance, Old He gave the order and the Evil Warding Spirit Rhinoceros moved like a tank charging through the entrance. It headed straight for the spot where the Companion Egg had dropped.
After it entered, Zhou Wen couldn't hear the Evil Warding Spirit Rhinoceros. He thought that since there wasn't any immortal palace phenomenon, he could take a look at the situation without looking up into the fog.
He lifted the balaclava a little so that he could see the situation at the mountain entrance. He saw the Evil Warding Spirit Rhinoceros's body four to five meters away from the mountain entrance. Furthermore, it was still charging at high speed. With such a speed, it would only take a few seconds to traverse twenty meters.
Zhou Wen also saw the Companion Egg. Indeed, it was less than twenty meters away from the mountain entrance. Just as Old He had said, there were blood-colored patterns on the jade-white egg. There was a pile of blood-colored powder on the ground. It was likely formed after the Blood Scorpion died.
Just as Zhou Wen was sizing up the Evil Warding Spirit Rhinoceros, he saw a terrifying scene. After the huge rhinoceros rushed past the mountain entrance, its body turned into a piece of jade. It didn't get far—perhaps ten meters—before the entire rhinoceros turned into a lifeless jade statue and fell to the ground.
Boom!
After a loud bang, the Evil Warding Spirit Rhinoceros shattered into pieces of jade. Furthermore, the pieces of jade that landed on the ground kept disintegrating, becoming smaller and smaller. Like sand, they split apart and finally turned to dust.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but shiver. He finally knew what was going on with the pile of blood-colored powder beneath the Companion Egg. Even the Blood Scorpion couldn't withstand the terrifying power from Jade Emperor Peak. It had ended up in the same state as the Evil Warding Spirit Rhinoceros.
However, the Companion Egg wasn't affected by the terrifying force.
Ding! Zhou Wen's phone notified the completion of the download. He looked down and saw a black mountain icon on the screen. However, it wasn't White Cloud Mountain but Demon Suppression Mountain.



1 drop of blood = 1-Up
Other people game overnight, I game overnight and bleed.
Ever since the dimensional storms descended upon Earth, numerous dimensional zones have appeared, bringing with them all kinds of dimensional creatures—Immortals, Buddhas, Devils, Angels, Elves, etc.
Yet, all these strange dimensional zones can turn into dungeon instances on my phone. Other people risk their lives adventuring, I spend all my time gaming.
Monsters drop dimensional crystals that boost stats, imbue new skills, and join me as Companion Beasts. These Companion Beasts fight alongside me or alone, augmenting me with their skills and strength. Rare monsters in real life? I'll just restart the game with a drop of blood to grind it.
I really need a blood transfusion.

The cause for Chen Xiaobei's delight was because that item on the list was the final material he needed before he could upgrade the Netherspirit Battlescouter!
He had acquired everything on the list, and this was the one last thing he needed.
"Evil-spirit Warding Crystals!" Xuankong Zhenren read the list. "This is an extremely rare Three-star Earth-God item. The chances of finding its crude ore without an owner are close to zero!"
Chen Xiaobei said, "If that's the case, then we would have to look for those that possess this item!"
"That's right!" Xuankong Zhenren nodded. "To my knowledge, Royal Dome Starfield emperor's military tag is made of an Evil-spirit Warding Crystal! During a war, the military tag would be used to maneuver Royal Dome's hundreds of thousands of soldiers! When there's no war, it is stored inside the Royal Dome's exchequer!"
Chen Xiaobei's eyes lit up. "Thank you, elder! I know what I have to do now!"
Xuankong Zhenren gave him a questioning look. "What are you going to do? Break into the exchequer? Young man, unless you have a Three-star Earth-God backing you up, this rash move is going to get you killed!"
Royal Dome's Evil-spirit Warding Crystal had been made into the emperor's military tag. They would not just give it away like that. If Chen Xiaobei wanted it, the only way to get it was to rob the treasury!
This would mean that Chen Xiaobei was at risk of making the entire Royal Dome starfield his enemy!
Qin Yitian nodded. "Childe Chen! The all the Nine Zones starfields have Two-star Earth-God Divine Instruments to protect their pwn starfield! On top of that, they have Earth-God battle formations. With hundreds of thousands of men, their combined energy would be similar to a Three-star Earth-God! Even I wouldn't dare steal from them!"
"Thank you for showing concern!" Chen Xiaobei nodded. "I know what I'm getting myself into. I will be very careful!"
"Alright!" Xuankong Zhenren nodded. "Our Childe Chen here doesn't look like someone without tact. You should know what you have to do!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded again. "Thank you for the pointers, elder. I will return the favor when I get the chance!"
Xuankong Zhenren smiled and said nothing more.
Qin Yitian did not make any more comments either.
Chen Xiaobei treated Xuankong Zhenren and Qin Yitian very differently.
To Xuankong Zhenren, Chen Xiaobei merely said that he owed him a favor. Once it was paid, they would owe each other nothing.
But with Qin Yitian, Chen Xiaobei left her his phone number, volunteering to not only provide medical help but in other areas as well!
To Qin Yitian, this return of favor itself was worth what she did for Chen Xiaobei.
Their relationship was based on an exchange of benefits, not really any kind of friendship. Reciprocity of favor was far more important in this case.
After that, the three of them parted ways.
...
Chen Xiaobei returned to Black Tortoise Imperial City with Su Xiaoman.
There, both of them parted ways, and Chen Xiaobei headed straight for Saint Duke Starfield.
He arrived just in time to meet the deadline for the second task of the betrothal contest.
He just needed to rest for a night in Saint Duke's capital city. He would then head to the castle tomorrow and get ready for the third task!
Chen Xiaobei found an ordinary hotel to spend his night.
"I have 45 days left until my deadline with Lady Nuwo! My cultivation is still a whole chunk away from the peak of Ethereal Cultivation!" Chen Xiaobei was leaning against the bed, making plans.
"To break through to God-Ascension cultivation before the deadline, I will need to upgrade my Netherspirit Battlescouter as quickly as possible or I won't have enough time! not mentioning the time I need to do the upgrade. After receiving the final task for the betrothal, I should head to Royal Dome starfield to get the Evil-spirit Warding Crystal. Everything else should be left for later!"
The deadline was getting closer. Chen Xiaobei had to map out every step he was about to make and attempt to save as much time as possible.
Luckily, everything else he had to do after that was pretty much within his control.
If everything went according to plan, Chen Xiaobei was confident that he could ensure that Saint Duke was kept away from the fires of battle forever.
But there was one thing Chen Xiaobei was not sure about.
"The core members of Saint Duke's royalty are probably having a sleepless night…" Chen Xiaobei sighed. "Maybe, as Ling Qingfeng said, they would see me as Tenshou's mole… or perhaps they would have a meeting to discuss how to deal with me…"
About ten days ago, when Chen Xiaobei and Wugui Kojiro showed up together, Ling Qingfeng had mistaken Chen Xiaobei as a Tenshou spy.
Although he was able to prove his innocence through the auction, he could not explain his relationship with Wugui Kojiro.
This was because Chen Xiaobei had used the Heavenly Dog Biscuit to control Wugui Kojiro.
The Heavenly Dog Biscuit was a top-secret affair. He could not let any outsiders find out about it.
More importantly, with the war at bay, Saint Duke royalties were on their toes, all wary. Even if Chen Xiaobei were to tell them the truth, they would not believe him. 
Owing to this, he would rather not explain himself. At the end of the day, the truth – cold hard facts would knock away all suspicions!
...
Saint Duke palace's secret meeting room.
It was deep into the night, but the lights remained burning in the meeting room. All of Saint Duke's core members were present.
"No one has said anything for nearly one hour now. Doesn't anyone have any solutions regarding the latest intel?" Luo Qiongcang held a stack of documents as he said, "About twenty days ago, that kid was seen with Wugui Kojiro at the Crimson Moon Auction House in Black Tortoise Imperial City. This proves that he's really Tenshou's mole!"
He continued, "Then, ten days later, this Tenshou spy returned to Divine Dragon starfield with Ling Qingfeng and stayed there for half a month! I have every reason to suspect that this mole has formed an alliance with the Dragon Emperor on behalf of the Tenshou Emperor! They will launch a joint attack on us soon enough! I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the final juncture between life and death for Saint Duke's royalty! If we can't come up with a solution, we'll all be dead!"
Luo Qiongcang's brows were furrowed, and his face had soured into a sickly shade of green. The imminent danger ahead had caused him to lose all the composure an emperor should have.
"Brother… We really don't know…." Luo Shanhe said helplessly. "Tenshou and Royal Dome have been allies for a while now. Then the spy had just formed allies with Neptune and Divine Dragon… That's four starfields in total who are going to attack us… We're all going to die… There's no doubt about it!"
"You mean we should just give all of it up?" Luo Quingcang bellowed. "Then why the hell are we having this meeting? Why don't you all go clean your necks, and wait for the enemy to come and chop your head off!"
Luo Puti suddenly spoke, "Calm down, father…"


In a world of shallow-minded, materialistic mortals, what would one from humble beginnings - whose face had been stomped on, spat on, oppressed for the longest while by the arrogant, pampered upper echelons of society - do, when a mysterious application pops up in a brand new phone that was meant to be the birthday gift of an ungrateful girlfriend? What if the application takes the form of a chatroom where its occupants, bearing the names of mythical, fictional beings, start giving out 'Red Packets'; while spouting nonsense the entire time?
