A world where mythology is reality and belief can become truth, the story of how a slave boy and a simple garden snake grow to something “beyond” is told.

Rose Princess: female teen with red eyes and pink hair.

Red rose: male teen with purple eyes and red hair.

White rose: male teen with blue eyes and purple hair.

Black rose: male teen with red eyes and black hair.

Blue rose: male teen with yellow eyes and blue/ purple hair.

Yellow rose: male teen with green eyes and blonde / yellow hair.

Leylin was watching the process of the Loathsome Evil coming together.

The spirit within the array was finally incinerated as the purple flame gradually extinguished.

Swish! The entire light ray from the spell formation completely shattered.

Leylin walked into the formation.

The smell of something burning wafted in the air, along with a repulsive stench that could make one feel nauseous.

“This odour is just like when something from the sewers is burnt!” Leylin frowned and walked to the center.

The human corpses had long since been burnt to ashes.

On the ground, in the middle of the charred and indented formation, a glistening object caught Leylin’s eye.

Lying in the pit were fragments of green crystals, sparkling and splendid like little diamonds.

Leylin covered his hand with a layer of scales and grabbed ahold of the little diamonds.

“Quite light, but very solid!” Leylin kept applying pressure using his palm to the point that his joints popped, but even with his strength of 7.1, he was still unable to do anything to the little diamonds.

“…” All of a sudden, a low chant of salutations entered Leylin’s ear, seeming to have been produced from within the green diamonds.

Filled with curiosity, Leylin brought the diamonds closer to his ear.

“Thank you, young man!”

In an instant, a dazzling white light seemed to fill the entire flower garden. In the white light, Leylin looked at tens of thousands of phantom human figures.

The countenances of these phantoms seemed familiar; they were the spirit bodies of earlier, but they had assumed their original form of a human.

The phantoms were both male and female. Some of them were dressed like Magi and acolytes. However, at this moment, they expressed gentle smiles as they slowly faded in the white light.

“En!” Leylin looked at the surroundings. As if it was due to the death of the Loathsome Evil, the green coloured plague quickly retreated, once again revealing the flower garden.

As for the spirit bodies from earlier, they had all disappeared without a trace, as if he were just dreaming.

However, Leylin knew that he wasn’t hallucinating.

At this moment, the A.I. Chip’s voice rang out.



“Spirit crystals!” Leylin understood.

He had heard about this item before, but only high-level Magi could effectively use them.

It was impossible for a mere rank 1 Magus to break the surface of a spirit crystal to extract a spirit’s power from within.

“No matter what, it will definitely be useful in the future!” Leylin picked up the green coloured spirit crystals littered on the floor, carefully placing them inside a small pouch. He even used a gold thread to seal the pouch, before placing it back in his robes.

The green spirit plague had completely vanished. Many fine cracks that looked like lizards littered the black rock walls at the edge of the garden.

Leylin walked in front of the cracks, and gently knocked on the fractured wall!

*Crash!*

Numerous stones fell, and large clouds of lime were thrown into the air. There was a deep hole in the wall, which was flickering with pitch black light rays.

A black glint of light flashed through his eyes.

He quickly plucked off a strand of his hair, and his mouth began to move as he chanted mysterious incantations.

The long black hair fell to the ground and constantly expanded, eventually turning into something that resembled a black snake.

This small snake had densely packed scales and a pair of red little eyes that looked like jewels. It was pocket sized, and did not look malevolent; on the contrary, it was rather adorable.

The little snake first coiled around Leylin, hissing its tongue. It licked Leylin’s shoes and then slithered into the pitch black crevice.

Leylin shut both his eyes, maintaining a connection with the little snake through a thread of spiritual force. Images and sounds were projected before Leylin’s eyes.

The lighting in the surroundings was very dim, but it wasn’t a problem for the little black snake.

Through the eyes of the black snake, Leylin could see that the interior of the crevice looked like an ore mine with huge amounts of roots creeping in the surroundings.

The roots intertwined across the walls as if they were covering the surroundings of the cave like a fishnet.

The little snake continued to traverse into the cave. After slithering for about a kilometer, the little snake reached a yellow tree root that was like a wall that blocked its path.

“This is… a Misleading Mist Tree Root, an ancient defensive system to deter intruders!”

Leylin’s heart was filled with glee. With the appearance of such a mechanism, it showed that he was nearing the experiment lab.

“Intruder! Answer one question of mine, or else you’ll be ripped into pieces!” from the large trunk of the tree, the face of an old man emerged. The old man stared into the little snake’s eyes as if it could see Leylin, who was controlling it.

“Ask!” Leylin gave off a wave of spiritual force through the little black snake. “Please state your question!” Leylin gave off his spiritual energy force directly through the black little snake.

“What has the face of a diamond, eyes like pearls, and in the winter, the maker of this object gives it a chance to reincarnate?”

“Hmm…” Leylin lowered his head, looking to be deep in thought. Though, in actuality, he was commanding, “A.I. Chip! Search database!”

The A.I. chip instantly gave the result.

“It’s the Gemstone Starfish!” The snake said in front of the Misleading Mist Tree Root.

“Correct!” The Misleading Mist Tree Root let out an ear piercing holler. Like pulling out a radish from the ground, the tree’s roots were uplifted, revealing the pathway behind it.

“As a reward, you now have the authority to go through!” The countenance of the old man on the Misleading Mist Tree Root revealed a smile.

“A reward, huh? I don’t think so!”

The small snake shook its head and climbed through the passage.

*Pa!* In an instant, a giant tree root, like a huge palm, blocked the small snake’s path ahead.

“I have permitted the Magus behind you to go, but not a magical creature like you!” Anger welled up on the old face of the root.

“Young Magus, are you belittling me?”

“It is a part of me, so I believe it has the right to enter!” The little snake raised its head, making eye contact with the giant face.

“No! You must personally come over!” The Misleading Mist Tree Root was stubborn in this aspect.

“If that’s the case…” The little black snake lowered its head as if pondering over something.

Suddenly, the little snake coiled up and immediately darted through the passage.

*Pa!*

Suddenly, there were numerous bolts of black lightning that flashed into the originally peaceful pathway .Those flashes looked alive as they struck towards the little snake.

In the sea of sparks, the little snake was burnt to a crisp.

“It’s a trap indeed! Grade 51 and higher Black Prison Thunder, and there’s so much of it. The tree root really invested a lot in this attack…”

Outside the entrance to the garden, Leylin looked towards the mud tunnel and smiled mockingly.

This Misleading Mist Tree Root was just a trap in the first place! Even if an intruder got the answer correct, he or she would still be lured into a trap.

It was a pity that after so many years, there was something wrong with the Misleading Mist Tree Root’s intelligence. Leylin felt that something was wrong because it seemed to be much too anxious.

No matter how good a trap was, once it was found out, it was just another joke.

At this moment, a strong tremor came from the tunnel that Leylin stood in front of. There was even an ancient voice, “I’ll kill you! I’m going to kill you, intruder!”

The walls of the ore mine seemed to be propped up by the roots of the tree. As they struggled to come out, it caused a huge chain reaction.

“This creature’s vitality and strength are most likely above that of the Loathsome Evil. Moreover, as it is a plant, its life force is extremely tenacious, and it has resistances against spiritual force attacks. It’ll be much more difficult to deal with than the Loathsome Evil, so if I was to fight it on its own territory inside the ore mine, as long as it would be willing, it could bury me alive at any time!”

Leylin pondered before raising his head, grinning mischievously.

“It’s a pity, however, that such a plant organism like that has a strong weakness to something I have recently developed in the lab! I’ll use it now!”

Leylin took out a nitrogen crystallised test-tube from the sack that he carried. There were no potions inside the test-tube. There was only a black organism on the bottom with a pair or translucent wings as if it was an insect.

After looking at this item, Leylin’s expression became serious.

“I don’t know if letting this thing out will be good or bad, but I have to give it a try….”

Leylin muttered to himself.

This was an item that he had unintentionally created.

Inside the test-tube was a type of termite found only in the Magus World. Leylin had discovered it while getting rid of the pests inside the Four Seasons Garden.

As the sequence of genes was different from other termites, they were extremely strong, and hence, were taken back by Leylin, who had later discovered a secret.

These termites had an extremely strange gene that will exponentially increase their life force and reproductive capabilities.

That speed was already beyond what was natural. Judging from Leylin’s knowledge, this should have been made up of poisons and cells from another world.

After many instances of failing, Leylin could only increase the abilities of these termites with the help of the microscopic capabilities of the A.I. Chip, turning them into a weapon to deal with plant organisms!

It seemed like now was the right time to use it.

“Come! Let me see what happens when the strange items of the Magus world are coupled with modern scientific skills!”

At this time, the A.I. chip replied again.

“5 minutes!”

Leylin put a thread of his spiritual force into the test-tube, after which, he put several drops of another red potion into it as if making his final preparations.

After that, he looked at the shaking tunnel. The Misleading Mist Tree Root was still writhing around, trying to reach him.

“Enjoy your death now!”

Leylin sneered, opened the test tube, and directed the termite into the hole.


Leylin is transported from an advanced technological era into a medieval world— except there’s magic. Equipped with only his quick wits and an A.I. chip fused to his soul, he sets out to become the most powerful magus the world has ever known. In a land divided into the Light and Dark Magi, the weak can either be cattle or disposable slaves. Only the strong can determine their lives, and only they have the luxury for virtue. Yet strength is only a tool for Leylin, like any other. His goal, in the end, is his own.

Translator’s desc:
What happens when a scientist from a futuristic world reincarnates in a World of Magic and Knights?

An awesome MC — that’s what happens!

A scientist’s goal is to explore the secrets of the universe, and this is exactly what Leylin sets out to do when he is reincarnated. Dark, cold and calculating, he makes use of all his resources as he sets off on his adventures to meet his goal.

Face? Who needs that… Hmmm… that guy seems too powerful for me to take on now… I better keep a low profile for now.

You want me to help you? Sure… but what benefit can I get out of it? Nothing? Bye. 

Hmmm… that guy looks like he might cause me problems in the future. Should I let him off for now and let him grow into someone that can threaten me….. Nahhh. *kill*

…The ribbons of blood tumbled and swirled into the obscure water.
"IVORY!" I heard Luke scream, "TURN BACK!"
I raised my head above the surface of the water and noticed everyone on, or close to, the other side while I was less than halfway. Massive, yellow snake eyes peered above the surface right at me.
Just great.
I swam fast back to the beginning of the lake as fast as possible, losing a lot of my stamina and gulping a lot of salty water in the process. The snake chased after me, barely missing me as I climbed onto shore.
Fortunately, it couldn't step out of the water but, it could use its head to whack its head and upper body against the rocky shore, resulting a lot of rocks tumbling hazardously. I had to dodge sharp rocks and its razor teeth glinting with venom.
"GO! ESCAPE!" I shouted, flinging myself forward as another round of rocks plummeted down.
"I can't leave without you-" Luke began, already dipping his feat back into the water.
"JUST GO!�� I unsheathed my dual daggers.
"Ivory…!" Rei anxiously fumbled around with his hands.
"Trust me." I gritted as my daggers contacted its teeth. "I'll catch up with you later."
Rei nodded, defeated.
I hid behind a pillar of rock, just out of the snake's reach and sat there, regaining my stamina. I glanced at my arm, some of the snake's venom had grazed my arm and it now it was a ominous shade of grey.
I laughed dryly.
***
Raven:
We climbed out of the exit and whoops and celebrations filled the air.
"Who permitted you to celebrate?!" Luke snapped, and the hoots hushed to silence, "There's still a person inside that cave!"
Rei patted Luke on the back sympathetically, "I know. But the best plan of action will be to escape back to the Royal Palace to request for help. We won't be able to help Ivory if we charge in."
Luke looked down at the ground, clenching his fists before reluctantly nodding his head.
How strange. I had been studying people for most my whole life but there was something I could not understand…
Oh well. There wasn't any point worrying about that, currently, there was a more important subject.
I headed back towards the cave.
***
Ivory:
My arm was not helping my situation.
Hah. Definitely not.
In a desperate attempt to kill me, the snake finally managed to fling itself at the rock pillar behind me and I dashed towards another pillar.
"That looks painful."
I almost screamed before a hand clamped over my mouth.
"Shh… The snake look likes it tired, when it finally goes back to sleep on the bottom of the lake we can escape together." Raven removed his hand before looking worriedly at my arm. "I think you may have to have special medical care for that."
"Haha, no joke." I laughed wryly, "I wonder what colour my arm will be when we finally go home. Anyway, how did you get here?"
"I sneaked past it." Raven grinned, "Anyway, don't move your arm too much, I'm worried about it."
I seriously doubted that sneaking past that monster would be as simple as Raven had stated.
"…I think the snake is asleep now." I nodded towards the still lake, only slight ripples forming from the snake's breathes.
"Can you still move? Is it painful?" Raven peered at my grey arm.
"It's fine." I stood up, "We have to focus on killing that snake."
"You aren't acting like your age." Raven smiled cheerfully, walking up to the lake.
"You aren't either." I picked up my daggers.
"That's true." Raven turned to smile at me, just as the snake's yellow eyes peered over the water, right behind him.
"Behind you!" I screamed, dragging him back.
The snake's white scales as large as my head, glinted as it flicked out its black tongue.
"What's our plan?" Raven asked, pulling out his shuriken without taking his eyes off the snake.
"We're going to kill it." I observed the snake's upper body rise out of the water. "I'll distract it, you pierce its eyes."
"Understood." Raven nodded seriously, "Take care."
Raven sprinted up to wall, jumping elegantly from pillar to pillar, his black hair fluttering, he effortlessly dodged any rocks that tumbled down and gave the appearance that he was flying.
I knew Raven could easily escape the cave, however, I could not as my arm would prevent me from swimming.
I watched Raven aim carefully for the snake's large, unblinking eyes and flicked his wrist to let his black shuriken swiftly cut through the air, towards the snake.
Just as the shuriken headed towards us, I leapt onto the snake, careful to avoid its teeth and stabbed it, however, my daggers only created a small dent into a scale and slightly cracked my daggers. Raven's shuriken punctured the exact middle of the snake's eyes, and blood trickled out of it's eyes, staining its white scales with scarlet driblets.
"There's tender skin under it's neck." Raven whished right past me, soaring breezily, hopping from pillar to pillar, avoiding the snake's teeth while I gripped onto its scale's tightly.
The snake swung wildly, as I crawled closer to its head. The snakes suddenly lurched forward, and I quickly star ted sliding off its scales, the blood making it even more slippery. In an attempt to kill the snake, I tossed one of my daggers at it as I fell closer towards the water. I watched the dagger sink deeply into its flesh until only the hilt was visible and I fell into the lake. A few seconds later, I heard a loud 'splash' of the snake's body sinking into the water and the lake's water tinted with threads of red. I glanced at my arm which was now a dark grey and salty water entered my eyes.
So tired…
Someone hoisted me out of the water, and I coughed out water.
"We're safe now." Rei draped his black cloak over me, "All we need to do is wait for some people to fetch us."
"Oh…" My eyelids felt heavy as Raven used his shoulder for a resting place for my head.
Raven brushed my hair out, "Oh and the thing is, I found something suspicious which I think you should check-"
I didn't hear the rest of it as I fell asleep.
***
Easton:
Ivory was going to survive.
I watched as soldiers marched from the Imperial Palace towards where Ivory was left behind.
We were currently in the castle after Luke had rushed to the palace to plead for help. Apparently, sending hostages out was only a cover and the King had been planning a sneak attack.
How lovely.
I sat in an empty, dark storage room, watching a spider scuttle across the near my foot.
"Pain rectors delayed." I uttered, letting my fire power envelop me, careful to keep the fire away from the wooden table.
I slammed my hand forcefully against the stone floor. Warm blood trickled down my fingers and I felt nothing, until excruciating pain pounded in my palm a few seconds later.
Tsk…
I would have to work harder.
"Pain reactors…" I murmured.
I would have to train just as hard as the others.
***
A few months later…
Ivory:
It been a few months since the war and both countries had settled on a truce. Rei, Easton, and Luke and left for the Young Boy's Academy can wouldn't come back until a few years later. I sat in the library, bored. Mother had mentioned earlier to go to the palace dressed in dark clothing, although I didn't know why.
"Let's go." Mother ushered me into the carriage with Father.
"Why are we going to the Royal Palace?" I asked, brushing frost off the windows.
"You'll see when we arrive." Father dipped his head.
I watched as we neared the palace, and we stepped inside the castle. Servants rushed past us, their faces sombre and stony. The atmosphere was frigid as we headed towards a garden I hadn't visited before.
The willow trees swayed gracefully, and a chilly breeze swept the garden.
I walked to the right and saw Prince Luke weeping over a black grave.

FIRST VOLUME:
I was killed in an earthquake and when I wake up, I open my eyes to see that I'm in my sister's Otome game? It turns out that I'm one of the Male Flags. Unfortunately, I have more Destruction Flags than Love Flags and I turn into the last thing I touch during the night. Will I be able to stay alive in the Academy?
SECOND VOLUME:
I reincarnated as the villainess who got everyone to hate her and got exiled. Obviously I'm not going to sit around and get the bad ending!
Strangely, some characters aren't the same as the Otome Game and I no longer know what the future will hold.
How much will the plot change?!

"What!?" Lin Feng's clone is staring at Flender with a speechless expression.
'What? Money? I don't even know who you are!' He thought as he didn't even know a single thing about this four-eyed man.
He stared at Flender with a frown before shifting his gaze to Tang San and Grandmaster.
'Whatever.' Lin Feng's clone shrugged off his shoulder as if it didn't matter for him.
*Crunch* *Crunch*
"Mm... this is pretty good." He muttered when he tasted the potato chips and eat them as his eyes gazed at Grandmaster and Tang San.
"Flender..." Grandmaster has a speechless expression while staring at his friend.
'I know that he's still angry for losing all of his money, but...' He thought while thinking about something as it wasn't the other side's fault because he's the one who betted his own money.
If only the grandmaster knows that Flender lost ten thousand gold at the bet, he probably would understand why he is furious right now.
''Calm down," Grandmaster said while patting Flender's shoulder, which made him nod before taking a deep breath.
'My ten thousand gold coins...' Flander thought helplessly before releasing a sigh.
"Haah... I know. I already calmed myself down." Flender responded while taking a small breath before shifting his gaze to the unconscious Dai Mubai.
Dugu Bo stared at Flender with a frown when he heard his shout, and he sensed an ill intent directed to his young master in that shout.
'Hmm, they definitely had a problem with my young master.' Dugu Bo thought while shifting his gaze to the blonde boy, which he just cured a few minutes ago.
"You want to take this blonde boy, right?" Dugu Bo suddenly asked while staring at Grandmaster, who in turn nodded his head.
'Something feels weird...' Tang San thought as the mood around Dugu Bo seems changing.
"You could take this blonde boy away, but..." Dugu Bo stated as he suddenly released a powerful pressure from his body and nine spirit rings started floating in the air beside him.
"You need to defeat me first!" He added with a smile on his face.
'This is bad!' Grandmaster thought with a frown as their enemy is a powerful title douluo, and they don't know how powerful he was.
"Tang San, take cover!" He instructed his disciple as himself, Flender, and the pony-tailed woman walked forward.
'Oh! They are brave enough to fight a titled douluo?' Lin Feng's clone thought while curiously staring at three people in front of his subordinate.
"Xiaogang." The pony-tailed woman called while staring at Grandmaster.
"Huu... I don't know if we could win or not, but!" Grandmaster said while staring at Dugu Bo.
"Erlong, Flender. Will you join this fight, together with me?" He added, to which Flender responded with a loud laugh.
"Haha... It's been a long time since we fought together!" Flender laughed while shaking his head before a pair of huge black owl's wings appears on his back, "Let the world know the power of the Golden Iron Triangle!"
"Mm. Xiaogang, We'll fight together!" Erlong said with a smile on her face and a burning flame appears around her body.
Grandmaster smiled at his companions as he confidently stared back at Dugu Bo without minding the powerful pressure from his body.
"Golden Iron Triangle Spirit Fusion!" Three of them shouted as a golden triangle appears below their feet.
The golden triangle had mysterious symbols and start floating to the air as a huge silhouette of a yellow dog got manifested.
'I see... So that's why they dared to fight Dugo Bo.' Lin Feng's clone thought while staring at Grandmaster with a surprised expression.
Spirit Fusion is the ability of two or more Spirit Masters with similar properties to fuse together and become one entity, bringing out explosive power for a short period of time depending on the strength of the Spirit Masters.
This ability is extremely rare and requires Spirit Harmonization.
The degree of Spirit Harmonization also reflects on the final output power of the Spirit Fusion.
"They must have a high spirit harmonization level..." Lin Feng's clone commented while staring at the two other people on Grandmaster's side.
"Spirit Fusion, huh. I have never seen one before.'' He added while staring at the huge silhouette of a yellow dog.
An eggshell suddenly appeared around it and started covering the yellow dog as a powerful dragon aura came out from the egg.
*Cracks!*
The eggshell cracked and a bright golden light came out.
"Golden Saint Dragon!" Grandmaster shouted as the yellow dog had grown twenty meters in length with the body that had become completely golden.
The scales appeared around its golden body while two enormous dragon wings unfurl on its back.
As the dragon wings extended, it flapped its enormous wings and created powerful airwaves.
"I see, a dragon huh..." Lin Feng's clone said while calmly staring at the golden saint dragon, which is very weak compared to the mountain dragon.
"Well, it's not even on the same level.'' He added while chuckling a little as the golden saint dragon's aura is too weak.
Back to the fight, Dugu Bo calmly stared at the golden saint dragon as he placed his hand on the ground.
"Jade Phosphorus Snake King." He murmured as an enormous snake with yellow slitted eyes appeared beside him.
"Dragon Might!"  Grandmaster shouted while making a few hand signs and the golden saint dragon roared to the skies.
*Roar!*
"Hmph! This roar is not enough to defeat me!" Dugu Bo stated as there is no change of expression on his face.
The golden saint dragon flew on the skies as its released a powerful fire breath.
*Swooosh!*
The fire rushed to Dugu Bo as the jade phosphorus snake king opened its mouth and launched a powerful energy ray.
*BOOM!*
"It's more powerful than I thought..." Dugu Bo commented while looking at Grandmaster, Erlong, and Flender, who got covered by a golden pyramid.
The golden saint dragon and jade phosphorus snake king started fighting each other as the area become a ruin as they continued to fight each other.
*Roar!!!*
The golden saint dragon roared and blue lightning appeared in the skies.
*crackles!*
Four humongous blue lightning balls formed as Grandmaster shouted, ''Attack!"
'My garden!!!' Dugu Bo thought while looking at the four humongous blue lightning balls, which perfectly got launched into his garden direction.
"Medusa Lust!" He then shouted as the third eye on the jade phosphorus snake king opened and stared at the four humongous blue lightning balls.
"Petrification." Lin Feng's clone stated as the four blue lightning balls became rocks and fell down from the sky.
*Boom!* *Boom!*
*Boom!* *Boom!*
The golden saint dragon's body also suddenly became stone as Grandmaster, Erlong, and Flender coughed a mouthful of blood.
"That's it?" Dugu Bo said while staring at them.
"This is not over yet..." Grandmaster muttered while wiping the blood on his mouth.
"Golden Iron Triangle: Golden Dragon Strike!" He shouted as the golden saint dragon's whole body erupted with golden light like a flame, charging straight into Dugu Bo.
"Oh! This is the power of spirit fusion! it's really interesting..." Lin Feng's clone said as he rubbed his chin while staring at the final strike of the golden saint dragon
"Maybe I should try it too."  He added with a smile on his face.

[Ding!]
[You have awakened the great summoning system!]
[Do you want to bind it with your soul!]
''Eh?''
''Wait!''
''Where am I!''

His breath betrayed his intention to kill. Meng Qi subconsciously took a step and blocked General Yin with his slanted sword. Meanwhile, Ruan Yushu took out the ancient Demon-revealing Mirror.
Jiang Zhiwei, Qi Zhengyan, and Zhao Heng stood together, ready to fight at any given moment.
If he were to face General Yin alone, Meng Qi was not confident he could win even if he were to use a main ingredient of the divine weapons. Strong as he was, it would be useless if he could not hit his enemy. Without the others pinning him down, it was possible for the enemy to evade, albeit at a certain cost, as they had the strength and realm of a grandmaster. That was unless the Evil Spirit of Zhen Wu and the Oracle of the Covenant had things that must be contested for. Thus, Meng Qi must use his Kung Fu to create an opportunity to kill or use a main ingredient of the divine weapons to create a chance to escape.
Fortunately, he was not alone now. He had the Demon-revealing Mirror and help from his friends. Dealing with General Yin would not be a problem as long as he did not have a special magical artifact from the Journey to the West.
The only thing they had to consider was the mysterious "man" in a black robe. His breath was much colder and more horrible than General Yin's. Meng Qi felt great danger even with five of them facing that man.
Snake Dang coldly looked over, revealing two red awns in the dark under his black robe.
His cold eyes immediately gave rise to a chill in the depths of Meng Qi's heart—so cold that it nearly froze his blood lineage, muscles, and bones. His Vital Spirit shuddered.
"What terrifying strength!"
Snake Dang suddenly looked up and screeched. His breath that was carried by the sound broke out into the clouds. Even in the shard of Celestial Court, his breath discolored the wind and solidified the sputum. It was as if he was the Dominator and the core of this world!
"The peak of the Exterior, close to the Half-step to Dharmakaya..." The breath was elusive. As it was difficult to ponder, Meng Qi did not dare to rush and just remained guarded.
"It turns out there's an enemy of this level. Isn't this mission too difficult?"
Meng Qi could still vividly remember how Progenitor Doumu had killed the Peerless Master Pro "Emperor of the Netherworld" with just a slap!
This Death Task was no different!
The frightened General Yin stayed in place, feeling rather fortunate that he had not gone against Snake Dang.
Strong as Snake Dang was, though, he had failed to protect the Silver Python King!
The screech faded and Snake Dang turned his head, regarding Meng Qi and the others as if they were nothing. He stepped forward to the palace which was the sole building standing.
"Ah..." Meng Qi was evidently taken aback.
After demonstrating its strength, the black-robed monster surprisingly did not kill all its enemies so it could look for the treasure in peace.
Was its action earlier a warning that it would not be hostile if they did not covet the treasure?
Were there good-hearted monsters like this?
Jiang Zhiwei and the others had not expected this. They exchanged looks with one another and General Yin. It was deathly quiet in front of the palace.
General Yin thought hard and still did not know what to do.
"Kill the human tribe here first?
"No, Snake Xiong and the others screamed and disappeared while these human beings were safe and sound. They must have something backing them up!"
Thinking again about the miserable roc, General Yin suddenly became timid.
Even if he encountered an enemy equipped with powerful magical artifacts while he was alone, he was confident that he could escape due to his realm. The exception was if those artifacts were not the same ones that the Monster Kings had used when Monk Tang traveled west to fetch scriptures. However, this team of five had gathered before him. The girl in the yellow dress could fight him and the young man with the sword and saber seemed even stronger. The roc's failure was an example of the outcome of a battle with such a team!
Without a second thought, General Yin sharply turned and ran to catch up with Snake Dang.
"If Snake Dang eats meat, I can at least get some meat soup!"
Unable to understand the black-robed monster's thoughts, Meng Qi did not hurl his sword at General Yin's back. He watched as they pushed open the front gate of the palace and disappeared into the darkness.
"What an inexplicable task..." Meng Qi exhaled.
Jiang Zhiwei frowned. "The breath of the black-robed monster seems familiar."
Her words reminded Meng Qi of something. "It really is familiar. Where have we came across it?"
Zhao Heng shook his head. "I didn't find him familiar."
They thought hard about every surviving demon that they had encountered, but there was no clue.
"I can't remember." Meng Qi gave up and gazed at the open gate of the palace. "Since we have our Karma points, we don't have to worry about the deduction. It's not worth it to fight a monster close to the Half-step to Dharmakaya realm. Let's look around and take some pieces to make up for the loss of Karma points instead. "
Given the chance to retreat, few people would engage in a life and death fight.
"Okay." As much as she liked fighting and improving her sword art, Jiang Zhiwei was not brainless. She could not even deal with a grandmaster, what more a monster close to the Half-step to Dharmakaya realm?
Meng Qi looked around and saw the Celestial River at their back and the palace in front. The palace was cut off by the Chaos in the middle. There were two gardens with large, lush trees on each side.
"The black-robed monster made it clear for us not to compete with him. In other words, we better not enter the palace." Qi Zhengyan reminded his friends.
Based on the layout, one could guess that the core of the shard of Celestial Court would most likely be in the palace.
The same thought occurred to Meng Qi. "Based on the Tiger Monster's reaction, the black-robed monster seems to have come uninvited. It can't figure out the details either. Is it possible that it learned of some news and came here just to search for the core of the shard?"
"It should be. But the black-robed monster hesitated before choosing the left side after entering. Seems like it didn't know where the core is," Zhao Heng said, explaining his meticulous observation.
However, all these information were not useful. Meng Qi took a deep breath and pointed. "Let's not enter the palace. We will go to the garden to look for some immortal herbs. If we can harvest an immortal peach, it would be more rewarding than completing ten missions!"
"Immortal peaches..." Ruan Yushu's eyes suddenly brightened.
The immortal peaches, one of the Celestial Court's most prized treasures, would surely be in the core area of ​​the Ninth Heaven instead of the outskirts close to the Southern Heavenly Door. Ruan Yushu knew Meng Qi was only trying to comfort them, but she still felt revitalized as she imagined the taste of the peaches!
"Where to?" Jiang Zhiwei asked, smiling.
She had accepted the fact that they had failed their task.
Meng Qi said thoughtfully, "Something is strange in the shard of the Celestial Court, considering the deaths of the monsters. We mustn't separate. As for the direction, I am used to going left."
"Then let's go." Jiang Zhiwei and the others did not have relevant information, so they let Meng Qi choose.
With Meng Qi leading the way, they quickly neared the left garden while cautiously guarding against danger.
Once they were close to the garden, Meng Qi, who was operating Jade Virtual Divination, suddenly turned around to look at the palace gate. He saw the flash of a strange, bloody shadow as it disappeared into the darkness behind the gate!
"What's wrong?" Qi Zhengyan asked in a low voice.
Meng Qi frowned. "I saw a blood shadow, but it is not coming for us. Don't worry."
"If the strange shadow in the shard of the Celestial Court kills General Yin and the black-robed monster, wouldn't that mean we have completed the task?"
"This is a surprise worth anticipating!"
Meng Qi dropped the thought and checked the ban. Once again, he used all the methods including the avatar but found nothing abnormal. While the Jade Virtual Divination and Jiang Zhiwei's "Cicada Feels the Arrival of Autumn Without Autumn Wind Moving" skill did not "detect" any danger either.
Stepping into the garden, they first felt the vicissitudes of the Time Sword. When Meng Qi looked around, he snorted.
The avatar could only observe a limited range of areas, unlike Meng Qi who could sense a much larger radius. He found this place to be even stranger now that he was looking at it with his own eyes.
The whole garden was bare except for a large tree in the center. The tree was tall, green, and incredibly leafy. Its branches looked like an umbrella. Looking at it from afar, one would think that there were many trees here.
The leaves swayed gently, but they could not hide the silence, vicissitudes of life, stagnation, and lack of vitality!
"This tree is a little weird..." Meng Qi slowly moved closer. The idea of ​​chopping the tree into pieces for easy transport came to his mind.
Qi Zhengyan frowned as if thinking about something. He trailed behind Ruan Yushu and Zhao Heng, while Jiang Zhiwei brought up the rear.
Meng Qi moved forward as he looked around. He did not find any curses or traps.
Suddenly, his Space Ring throbbed as if something was waking up inside, moving up and down and waiting to be fed.
"What's with this..." Meng Qi's heart jumped. He cautiously opened the Space Ring.
"It is the tree!"
The "Supreme-wisdom Tree," which had not reacted to any previous provocation, was now glowing and hovering!
Was it because of this slender green tree?
Meng Qi reflected on this. He then stowed the Flowing Fire, took out the Supreme-wisdom Tree, and reached out to the only creature in the garden—a straight and slender tree!
"Pa!"
The Supreme-wisdom Tree first touched a palm before touching the big tree!
Meng Qi looked on in astonishment, not noticing that Qi Zhengyan was standing beside him trying to touch the tree.
"This..." Qi Zhengyan was a bit slow. He looked down at the Supreme-wisdom Tree. In his eyes, shock gave way to horror.
"Whoo!"
Following the strange sound, several observable but untouchable breaths in the color of the Chaos emerged from the big tree and flowed to the little green tree in Meng Qi's hand.
The big tree shrank and withered within a short moment. Its branches began to rot. On the other hand, the little green tree glowed and the lights immediately condensed. Then, a part of the trunk swelled as if it was about to grow a new branch!
The voice of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms suddenly interrupted Meng Qi's thoughts.
"The mission has changed as the core has been absorbed. Please escape from Snake Dang and General Yin who will try to kill you, and stop them from taking the Supreme-wisdom Tree!"
"Holy crap!" Meng Qi never imagined this big tree or its "vitality" was actually the core!
At this moment, a horrible breath rushed from the palace as a snake as thick as a pond emerged. Wings protruded from its back and pus flowed from its rotting muscles.
"I let you go. Why did you take my chance?" The snake's giant eyes turned scarlet as it roared. There was an image of a white-haired zombie in one of its eyes, and the images of Meng Qi and the team in the other eye!
"Old Luo?" Meng Qi was stunned.
It turned out that Snake Dang was the snake zombie that had previously hunted Luo Shengyi!
"Why did it become like this? How did it get out of the Holy Mountain?"
The giant snake bowed its head. Meng Qi and the others were all rigid. They decided to abort the mission now and return.
"You may return after escaping from this battle."
The cold and merciless voice of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms reverberated in their minds.


I care not of my past and neither of my future.
Conquering all heroes and foes while looking with disdain at the horrors of the Samsara, I yearn only for a life of thrilling wonders!
History will repeat itself after many ages as the menace of the Great Calamity rises once more.
Which will rise with triumph in the face of adversity; the Golden Form of the Great Buddha or the invincible Heavenly Taoist Form?
Which will seize all glory amidst all struggles; The Buddha's Palms or the  Seven Strokes of Heaven's Interception?
From the sanctum of the Shaolin Temple, Meng Qi's adventures and struggles through the Samsara begin as we follow his climb to claim the title of "the Unrivaled and the Invincible One"!


Vatican Divine City was like an unfurled ancient scroll with its rows of majestic architectures. Be it the cathedrals or castles, all of them possessed the solemnity of the vicissitudes of time.
"The city in which we stand is the same as the city recorded in the annals of history—the holy city where the glory of the Vatican was at its peak. It is indeed a miracle of God that such a city has re-emerged in this era."
The trio, accompanied by Ovidius, was touring around and learning about this mysterious city.
All these buildings have a dark golden luster to them. Through the baptism of the months and years, the whole city was suffused with sacred radiance. 
"Eh, you are Chu Feng?"
Across them, a blonde-haired youth came over. His hair was sparkling brightly, as if a yellow golden fire was burning within it. His whole being was comparable to the Sun God; frightening rays of golden light would spill out of his eyes when he blinked.
This person was obviously a terrifying expert, with strength akin to the legendary holy knights, surrounded by divine energy.
"Golden Lion King!" Ovidius exclaimed, intentionally mentioning his origins to warn Chu Feng and the others.
This was an expert with four severed shackles. He was famous within the Vatican—his strength was astonishing, and normally, no one would dare to provoke him. Apart from his great strength, he also had an extraordinary background. 
Behind him was an old Lion King with six severed shackles. This was not a contemporary expert; he had achieved evolution since long ago. 
Although they were not blood-related, they were of the same tribe and that was sufficient!
The Golden Lion King walked over, his golden hair spread behind him and dancing like flames. His mere presence seemed to have lit up the gloomy streets as his whole body carried a terrifying energy.
He was smiling while looking at Chu Feng, with his golden pupils saturated with a terrifying energy. This was an extremely dangerous person!
The scarlet flying knife on Chu Feng’s body had already started to glow with energy, ready to strike at a moment’s notice. Even if this Golden Lion King was an extraordinary character, if he proved to be hostile, Chu Feng would not let him off.
Naturally, if he could avoid becoming enemies with such a powerful expert, it would be for the best.
Chu Feng would not actively stir up trouble, but he didn’t fear trouble either!
This Golden Lion King’s stance was unclear; he circled around Chu Feng, his terrifying aura still pulsating like the vast waters and his eyes were like two small suns.
Yellow Ox and the black yak were also silently ready for battle.
"Eh? Little lion, you’re here." At this moment, an old voice was transmitted from the other end of the street. It was an old man.
He was very old, his curled hair was all white but his deep blue eyes were deep and possessed great spirituality.
This was an old Westerner. His appearance caused the Golden Lion King to tense up and his pupils to contract. He took a few steps backward.
"Schiller," the Golden Lion King exclaimed. He was extremely apprehensive of the old man, otherwise, he would not have pulled back to a safe distance.
The old man called Schiller laughed heartily and nodded as he walked closer.
The Golden Lion King also laughed, returning to his normal demeanor. Following that, he turned around and patted Chu Feng’s shoulder. After looking at him in the eyes meaningfully, he left.
The Dhole King and the Panther King appeared at the other end of the street to welcome the Golden Lion King, evidently disappointed. Afterward, they all left together.
As expected, the Golden Lion King had come for him. No doubt, he must have been requested to do so by the Dhole King and the Panther King.
"Many thanks, senior," Chu Feng expressed his gratitude. He knew that the old man had kindly helped him scare away the Golden Lion King.
"We are all of the same race. It involved very little effort on my part, don’t mention it." Schiller left with a laugh.
Ovidius inhaled deeply and sighed. "Within the city, you have to be wary of a few top experts. They are not to be trifled with.
"The Black Dragon, the Undead Phoenix, the Arctic King, the Silvermoon Wolf, Schiller, etc. These experts are considered the apex experts within the Vatican, having severed six shackles."
Schiller was the old man they had met just now. He was of the human race and was said to be part of the Holy See. He was claimed to be the last surviving holy knight and was probably the person most familiar with this city.
Chu Feng and Yellow Ox were both alarmed. Within a single city gathered such a large number of top experts!
There was not a speck of dust on the smooth stone streets; everything was neat and tidy. The architecture lining the streets were all thousand-year-old designs, simple and solemn.
"Did the Elder Lion not come?" the great black yak asked.
"No, its chaotic enough with just the Golden Lion King," said Ovidius. Even experts with six shackles severed like Schiller wouldn’t easily provoke him.
Chu Feng realized that he had established his might with that single battle, saving himself from much trouble. At least the minor characters didn’t dare to provoke him anymore, but the threat of the Golden Lion King and the Chilin King still remained.
Especially that lion just now; he had almost made his move.
The great black yak was unconvinced. "Let’s find a chance to flay that lion. He was threatening us just now without a word. If old man Schiller had not arrived, he probably would have attacked us."
The Divine City was very large. Some buildings were shining with light, and cathedrals were chanting hymns; it was astonishing.
Ovidius informed them that the sounds accumulated for a thousand years had imprinted themselves on the ancient walls.
Finally, they entered the city center, where a medicinal garden was located, covered by a light screen. It was like a huge glowing bowl placed face down on the ground, blocking outside access.
This was the sacred medicinal garden, the most astonishing place in the Vatican, and the reason why all the beast kings had gathered here.
Lush and verdant, within the garden, various grasses and trees were sparkling with moisture. Radiant and translucent, these divine species were emitting an aura of great vitality.
There was a jade green tree no taller than a man; its trunk was bold and vigorous, hidden within its leaves was a single golden peach, swaying in the wind and blossoming with strands of golden mist.
Just looking at it caused one’s heart to palpitate—it was, no doubt, an extraordinary fruit!
On another side, there was a three-meter tall ancient tree. It was completely red from the trunk to the leaves. It was as if it was carved from red agate; a few bowl-sized flower buds hung upon its branches, on the verge of blooming, enshrouded by scarlet mist. This was no doubt a divine flower!
A short distance away, there was vine, violet and lustrous. It was coiling around a gigantic rock, and it its end hung a purple gold colored fruit the size of a baby’s fist.
Further inside was an ancient tree, ten-odd meters tall and completely silver. On top of it was a flower over one meter in diameter radiating silver light.
…
At this moment, Chu Feng, Yellow Ox and the black yak were all wide-eyed—anywhere they looked, there would be several astonishing plants.
Yellow Ox swore that any one of the plants they had seen just now was sufficient for them to evolve.
It was no wonder why all the beast kings had converged on the Vatican. Who could resist such allure?
And this was only the outer region. In the depths of the hazy garden, they could make out the silhouette of an ancient tree.
"There’s someone atop that ancient tree?" Chu Feng was shocked.
Through the hazy lights, he saw the branches of the ancient tree moving. It appeared as if some human-shaped objects were hanging from them.
Unfortunately, the vision wasn’t clear.
"Those aren’t humans, they’re fruits," Ovidius explained.
"Initially, we saw flowers; after they had blossomed and wilted, they produced these human-shaped fruits.:
How astonishing!
"There’s something even more shocking, look this way."
Ovidius took the trio about 30 steps to one side and pointed towards a certain direction. There, within the medicinal garden, were a few withered ancient trees. There were a few leaves upon them, and part of their roots were visible above the earth.
"What is that?!" Even the black yak was surprised.
There were living things on the roots!
One of those ancient trees had a lot of roots on the surface and one could observe them more clearly. Among the roots sat a lady with her back to the people, exposing her snow white back and long golden hair.
She sat there with half her body buried within the earth, connected to the large tree by means of a single root. She appeared to have been born from that tree!
"What kind of situation was this?" Even Chu Feng was dumbfounded.
Even though he had once joked about such a scenario with the three seeds within the stone box, he knew that it was not quite possible.
However, before his eyes was an ancient tree growing a living being!
Chu Feng looked at Yellow Ox, hoping that the latter would explain the phenomenon.
"This medicinal garden is similar to the inaccessible depths of Mount Kunlun, populated with many sacred trees in anabiosis. However, regarding the products they are sprouting, I don’t understand either!"
Even Yellow Ox was unable to explain everything; he could not ascertain whether the being attached to the tree was a fruit or a living being.
"When will this boundary be lifted?" the great black yak asked; he could hardly wait to rush in and start picking fruits.
There were so many ancient trees; some were bearing fruits, some were flowering. This was the perfect time to enter.
However, one could feel something deep within the garden—something terrifying, something unknown.
"The boundary is actually rather unstable. It could open up anytime," replied Ovidius.
"Actually, we have also tried forcing our way in, but the losses were tremendous." He pointed toward the garden, indicating that they should look closely.
"Eh?"
Chu Feng noticed that on the ground before an ancient tree was a rusted greatsword. Half of it was stuck in the ground. 
In another area, he saw a spear. It was originally golden in color but had eventually lost its color, luster, and sharpness.
There were weapons scattered on the ground in every direction. All of them were ancient items that had endured the passage of time.
"These weapons are extremely terrifying. Let's just take that rusted old greatsword for example; it looks old and rusty right now, but it will rise up on its own, glowing with lustrous splendor, to slay any intruder including beast kings," Ovidius informed them.
Even Chu Feng shivered! 
The two oxen were also shocked and doubled their caution towards the garden and the weapons therein.
As they moved towards a different direction, they found another ancient tree. Its whole trunk was glowing, and flower buds the size of bowls were growing upon it, releasing auspicious lights.
"This single flower bud could allow us to evolve, truly a divine flower." Yellow Ox was drooling.
"Some of the miraculous scenes are invisible from the outside—only when we charged in did we realize that there was an area in the middle that was suffused with pollen and overflowing with prismatic lights. Unfortunately, we were unable to approach that place at all." Ovidius sighed.
The pollen were condensed into a glowing mist that did not disperse.
Chu Feng was greatly moved; he really wanted to charge into the garden after hearing all that.
At this moment, they saw a lady.
Her black hair was swaying behind her, and she was slender and tall. Her gaze was focused on the sacred medicinal garden, only one side of her was visible. She was the picture of flawlessness and was, no doubt, a great beauty.
Shen turned towards the incoming party, and suddenly, black-colored flames soared around her, enshrouding her completely. An extremely terrifying aura raged towards Chu Feng’s group.
Ovidius’s expression changed as he pulled everyone in a hasty retreat.
"The Undead Phoenix!" He muttered, notifying the others.
"You lot were loitering in front of my residence the other day?" she questioned. Her voice was rather pleasing to the ears but contained a penetrating coldness to it.
"We were tricked, someone wanted to harm us," Chu Feng replied.
Boom!
A mass of black flames formed a spiritual snake on the ground which ran towards Chu Feng’s group with extreme speed, attempting to engulf them.
Even Yellow Ox felt his body tense up; this was an entity that had severed six shackles, known as the Undead Phoenix!
Chu Feng grasped the diamond chakram in his hands, ready to throw it out at a moment’s notice!
At this critical moment, a white-haired man appeared to one side. He said while laughing, "The sacred medicinal garden is about to open any moment. The Phoenix King should conserve her spiritual energy."
With that, the black-haired lady clad in raging black flames turned around and left.
"Many thanks to the Arctic King," Ovidius expressed his thanks.
"Don’t mention it. Actually, the Phoenix King also had no intention to attack." The Arctic King laughed, his white hair was rather distinct. He nodded towards Chu Feng and left.
The Arctic King, the Black Dragon, the Undead Phoenix and the Silvermoon Wolf were known as the most powerful people within the Vatican.
They all came from different places; some from the Arctic, some from the Mongolian Steppes, some from Europe.
"I want to grow stronger!" The black yak let out a low roar.
Actually, Chu Feng and Yellow Ox also felt a sense of urgency. They needed to enter the medicinal garden and attempt to evolve.
After walking around in a wide circle, they had gained some basic knowledge of the Divine City. They were also brought up to date with the situation of the medicinal garden; it was rather unstable as of late and could open up any moment. 
Finally, Chu Feng and the two oxen, accompanied by Ovidius, chose a residence. They stayed within the City, waiting for an opportunity.
After two days had passed, that opportunity finally arrived!
Schiller, the Arctic King, and the Black Dragon all roared at the same time, shaking the Divine City and summoning all the king level experts over. The boundary was now unstable enough for them to crack it with their combined efforts!


To rise from defeat; to revive amidst the dissipation. 
As the vast oceans turn to dust and the thunder and lightning fade away,
That strand of spiritual mist once again approaches our great world. 
With the shackles that bound our world now severed—
A whole new world of mystery and wonder awaits, 
As we turn the corner...

The Sacred Ruins
Is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world. A world that has recovered to a state that is roughly equal to our own world in terms of technology and culture, although its ancient history remains largely unknown. The story begins during the post-graduation trip of our protagonist, where he discovers some ancient ruins and witnesses “the great change”, an upheaval that changed everything. The changing earth not only brought about new, unexplored landscape but also sparked the evolution of all organisms. Plants and animals started gaining sentience and some humans obtained unimaginable powers. The legends, myths, and tales of old seemed to have suddenly come to life as the earth entered a new era where beasts and men formed factions, explored new lands and ultimately struggled for supremacy.
We follow the MC as he grows from being an eccentric young man into a badass expert warrior while meeting other funny characters and forming brotherly bonds. We watch as he falls into just as much hilarious situations as he does perilous ones, all the while wondering and slowly discovering the mysteries of this world. Just why was the world destroyed in the first place? Who or what had triggered this earth-shattering “change”? What profundities lie behind the process of evolution?

It was 12:13 when something stated to shine in the back garden. I thought it was a car, but the light got brighter. I went to have a look and someone was in the light. I wanted to know more so I went closer and closer until I was face to face with the person. He was a normal human. Brown hair, green eyes and tall. I still couldn't understand the light. Then it just disappeared. I went back to bed and didn't think any more of it. 
The next morning I woke up at 4:45 and sneaked out. I had some money and went to the shop to get breakfast. It was about 5:50 when Blades called. "Is mum and dad still at home?" I asked.
"No, they left 20 minutes ago. Where should I meet you? The school is expecting us still." Blades replied.
"They are, so we are going. I'm coming back now."
"How will you get in? Mum and dad took all the keys in the house."
"In the house maybe, but I have my survival bag, which if you remember has 2 spear keys." I reminded him. I got home and got Blades breakfast and got his uniform ready. He wasn't due to come to my school yet but we already had a spear jumper for him. "How did mum and dad manage to get the school to agree to this?" I asked. "Don't know I have a present for you though." And Blades handed me a card and a new bracelet. There was also chocolate, earrings and a Primark voucher.  "Thank you. I didn't think mum and dad would want you to get me anything after yesterday." I hugged him and put my new bracelet on. The one my parents gave me would no longer be needed. The one Blades gave me was blue and black with a lightning bolt in the middle. At 7:45 we went to school and went straight up to the library. I had to see if an email was sent to all the teachers about Blades. Otherwise I would be the one sending the emails. I did send out emails to all teachers in the end just to make sure. Some of my closest friends got me presents and I had cards from some family I had never met at home. Surprisingly, school was normal. No one asked questions and Blades did great in all my lessons. I thought it was fun having my little brother there with me. For a while everything was normal. Then I felt time slow down. Then everything stopped. I thought it was my imagination but it wasn't. Either I was super-fast, or time had completely stopped. My answer came when the person I had seen the night before appeared. He came out of the light this time and I could see him properly. He had brown hair and a slither of green in it. He had green eyes and had a snake around his neck. The snake came out and bit me. Flash backs started, heart ache and pain from the last three years, the destruction of my house that I first lived in. I saw a storm and lightning hitting it me, with me in the middle controlling the storm. There were four other boys there too. After that I was back in class. On my left wrist were two circle marks where I was bitten. Then they turned into two snakes. One was black one was yellow. I couldn't hear anyone but I could see. I didn't know what had happened or what to do, so I ran. When I was scared or confused I ran. Somewhere no one could find me. Ok, Blades could find me, but no one else could. I ran straight out of school to my parents work lab. I had been told never to go there, but I didn't know what else to do. It was a big white building with double automatic sliding doors. There were three security cameras by each door. I walked into the reception are to see that it was white and black leather sofas and posh expensive things. I went to the desk and asked a woman for Mr and Mrs Storm. I told her that I was their daughter and she told me to wait on a sofa. A few minutes later my parents came to see me. The anger on my mum's face was clear for anyone to see. They took me to their office. It was like a smaller version of reception only with yellow and blue instead of white and black. "What are you doing here?" Shouted my mum. "I need to ask you a question. And I need the honest truth." I replied. "What is it? Why are these here and what do they mean?" I asked. 
"You drew on your arm, end of." My mum said and told me to go back to school. I didn't draw it. So how had it got there?

Electra's life hasn't been easy these past few years. On her birthday, she finds out a massive secret which is either the best news or the worse. She gets thrown in to worlds of magic that she doesn't really understand. She also has to deal with more secrets, betrayal from almost everyone, power struggles and love. What the hell is she going to do?

The white gown that Yi Yun had changed into before entering the sword tomb was now tattered.
 
The gown was not dirty, but it seemed to have been cut by a sword's blade. Cut after cut made it look like rags.
 
Yi Yun's long hair was hanging loose while his face seemed to exude a faint smile. His eyes were bright they shone in the dark sword tomb as if they were stars in the sky, which gave a strange feeling. 
 
It seemed the Yi Yun, who entered the sword tomb entered 9 days ago, was now different once again.
 
This difference was not easily described. It seemed like there was a change in his disposition as if a sword Qi had merged right into his bones, making it as if Yi Yun himself was a sword.
 
"Kid, you finally came out!" Cang Yan said disgruntledly.
 
"Uh…I was too immersed and lost track of time. How long have I been in there?"
 
"It has nearly been nine days. Kid, you really are planning on learning the sword?"
 
Cang Yan looked inquisitively at Yi Yun and he was wondering how much sword comprehension Yi Yun had gained in the past few days. But to Cang Yan, even if Yi Yun had gained some insight into a few sword moves, it was useless. A saber could do the same amount of damage as a sword could do, so there was no point learning both the sword and saber. It was a really pointless endeavor.
 
Yi Yun did not want to continue on this topic and he interrupted, "Senior Cang Yan, you previously said that you will let me challenge the Earth roll and as long as I get to the top 300, I can carry on cultivating the way of the sword and the 'Myriad Beast Totem'?"
 
Yi Yun indeed had plans to challenge the Earth roll. The people at the top of the Earth roll would receive dragon scale runes rewards monthly.
 
Cang Yan rolled his eyes at Yi Yun and sighed, "You sure have lots to challenge now. Alas, you still may not know that our Tai Ah Divine Kingdom is on the brink of destruction…"
 
Cang Yan carried on by describing the situation of the Shepherd Boy to Yi Yun.
 
Yi Yun was stunned when he heard this.
 
Shepherd Boy?
 
Cang Yan's description of the Shepherd Boy's appearance made Yi Yun recall the mysterious youth he met at the blackwater swamp back when he went out into the Divine Wilderness for training.
 
The youth was riding a cow and he was blowing a piccolo. The piccolo's sound seemed to contain a magical power that would affect one's state of mind.
 
This mysterious youth traversed the Divine Wilderness and the blackwater swamp, yet all the desolate beasts seemed to turn a blind eye. It was a leisure stroll to him in the Divine Wilderness as if he was entering and exiting a flower garden.
 
This youth, who looked amiable and even seemed to be likable, had actually stirred up a bloody storm in the western regions, killing countless people, and nearly destroyed the extremely powerful Shentu family clan?
 
Yi Yun was extremely shocked. Hearing Cang Yan's description, the Shentu family clan was stronger than the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom.
 
A family clan was stronger than the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom…
 
What sort of family clan was this?
 
And where were these so-called "western regions"?
 
Yi Yun sighed silently. Having come to this world, it seemed like he had some form of results, but compared to all those massive behemoths, he was still small.
 
Of course, this was not something he should think about now. He had to think about the big battle tomorrow.
 
Yi Yun was indebted to the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. All his cultivation resources and cultivation techniques were mostly provided by the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom.
 
Yi Yun was a grateful person, so with the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom facing a major crisis, he naturally would help as much as he could!
 
"Senior Cang Yan, does the Tai Ah Divine City have an armory? I want to choose a sword and a saber, to handle tomorrow's big battle."
 
Yi Yun's Thousand Army Saber could no longer be used, and the broken sword he obtained from the Pure Yang Sword Palace was of great importance, so he could not use it unless his life was in danger. It was best to choose a sword and a saber in the Tai Ah Divine City.
 
The Tai Ah Divine City's armory's swords and sabers would definitely be better in quality than the Jin Long Wei armory's.
 
Cang Yan looked at Yi Yun's harmless-looking smile and his heart thumped. He snapped, "Rotten kid, you are trying to take advantage of old me once again. You can choose some weapons, but it will only be a loan. If you were to win tomorrow's big battle, the weapons will be yours. If you don't win, hehe, it will be charged accordingly! Don't try grabbing my stuff just because of the big battle ahead."
 
Yi Yun grinned, "Okay!"
 
That night, elites from all over were gathered in the Tai Ah Divine City. They were saving their strength and adjusting their conditions, in preparation for the battle tomorrow.
 
However, while everyone was trying to condition themselves, in a corner of the Divine City, there were a few people who took advantage of the dark and gathered in a small courtyard.
 
"It's this person?"
 
Despite the night being dark, some warriors could still easily see in the dark.
 
At that moment, two men covered in cloaks were holding onto a portrait. On the portrait, there was a youth in linen clothes wielding a saber.
 
This youth was none other than Yi Yun.
 
"It's him…" The cloaked man's voice was hoarse, preventing others from recognizing his original voice. "Break his meridians. It would be best if you made him permanently disabled. If you can do that, we will give you great rewards."
 
As the cloaked man said, he flipped his hands and a black bag appeared in his hands. "This is the down payment."
 
"Ah!" A youth with a venomous serpent around his body took over a little black bag.
 
This youth was lanky and his ears were full of skull earrings. His face and body were covered in tattoos, which made him look extremely odd.
 
The youth's pupils were also amber in color and oval like a snake. Whenever he smiled, sharp teeth would appear in the corners of his mouth, giving a chilly feeling.
 
Standing beside the youth with the snake, there was a yellow-clad fat person. He noted with interest as he stroked his chin and reached into the black bag.
 
Shiny objects rolled out. They were like gemstones that glowed in the night.
 
They were all desolate bone relics!
 
"Top grade desolate bone relics!"
 
The yellow-clad fatty licked his lips, "Interesting. I am very curious about your identities. You guys cannot be people from our Yun Long Divine Kingdom. Could it be that you are from the same faction as this Yi Yun? Tsk, he sure is unpopular, to the point that even people from his own faction would buy a rival faction's people to maim him…"
 
"Don't worry about us." The two cloaked men's voice turned cold, going on high alert.
 
If this deal they struck was found out by the Tai Ah Divine City's upper echelons, there was a high possibility of them being crippled of their cultivation levels or even the death sentence.
 
"I warn you, this Yi Yun is not easy to deal with. Take care not to fail miserably at an easy task!" One of the cloaked men said.
 
"Hehe…do not think that we from the Yun Long Divine Kingdom are at the same level as your Tai Ah Divine Kingdom trash. He is just a kid that did not even enter the top 1000 amongst you people a year ago." The snake youth laughed sinisterly and kept the desolate bone relics.
 
"You…"
 
When one of the cloaked men heard the snake youth's arrogant mocking, he clenched his fists, almost to the point of getting to blows. However, he was stopped by the other.
 
"Then, we will rely on the two of you." That cloaked man said.
 
"Ha! This anger means that you are indeed people from the Tai Ah Divine City. Don't worry, I, Viper, am best at making vicious blows. I'll take on this business!"
 
In this competitive battle, death or disability was not uncommon. After all, in a duel with real sabers and swords, many of the moves were made with full strength!
 
Even in the internal battles of the Tai Ah Divine City, even when people tried their best to avoid a death battle, there would still be deaths in the arena.
 
In this battle against rival factions, the battles would be even more intense and more brutal.
 
"It's a deal!" The two cloaked men left silently.
 
The yellow-clad fatty was chewing on a bamboo stick as he picked his teeth, "These Tai Ah Divine City's cultivators sure are terrible. With a foreign enemy in front of them, they are still having their internal fights!"
 
"Hehe, jealousy and hatred are terrifying forces. They can cause a person to go mad, making them do things without considering the consequences. But this is for the best. 
 
"Of course, it's up to you." The yellow-clad fatty did not mind.
 
"But who are these two people? They sure are cunning. They even disguised their voices." The snake man said.
 
"Hehe! One of them is one-armed. He thought that he had disguised himself well, but that fake limb did not have any Yuan Qi fluctuations, so how could that trick me? The Tai Ah Divine City may have many cultivators, but there are only a few of them with one arm. It would be definitely easy to find him."
 
As the fatty said, his lips curled into a sinister smile…
 
…
 
The next morning, the sky lit up and early winter snow fluttered above the Tai Ah Divine City. People from all over began to gather in the arena to participate in the City Lord's birthday banquet and also, the alliance competition.
 
The arena had been cleared up and tables for ten were placed all over the arena.
 
At the seats of honor, there were small tables prepared for the various large faction's legendary figures.
 
Fine wine and delicacies were placed on the tables. The scale of the birthday banquet was more than ten times better than the one seven days ago.
 
However, the arena had an additional deathly aura to it that lacked the elegance of the Splendid Room. Even the cutlery was made of black iron. They gave off a chilling feeling as if this was not a birthday banquet.
 
A special array was set up in the Divine Wilderness Stage in the middle. No matter how violent the battles were on the Divine Wilderness Stage, it would not affect the surrounding birthday banquet one bit.
 
But at that moment, many of the young elites present were not at ease enough to eat.
 
Of course, there were exceptions.
 
On the Yun Long Divine Kingdom side, there was a yellow-clad fatty who was grabbing roasted meat and tucking in, disregarding the fact that the birthday banquet had not officially begun.
 
Since all ties had nearly been broken, there was no point maintaining etiquette. Besides, how was he going to go on stage to fight if he did not have his fill?
 
Sitting beside the yellow-clad fatty was a lanky tattooed youth. A venomous snake was wrapped around his body. His eyes were like that of a serpent while he was in search of his prey.
 
Only when he noticed a youth in linen clothes walk into the arena did he faintly smile, with pick-like sharp teeth appearing at the ends of his mouth.
 
"Tsk, the prey is here. He sure is fresh and delicious."
 
As he said this, the fatty beside him raised his head and looked at Yi Yun.
 
"Eh! Indeed. Poor child, he still doesn't know that his own company has stabbed him in the back, hahaha!" The fatty laughed without control as his mouth was covered in oil.
 
While walking in the crowd, Yi Yun's eyebrows wrinkled. He felt that people were staring at him.
 
He did not need to turn his head. Just by opening his energy vision, he could lock on to the yellow-clad fatty and the snake youth in an instant.
 
"Oh? I don't know these two people. What are they staring at me for?"
 
Yi Yun subconsciously touched his interspatial ring, and in it were the weapons that Yi Yun had chosen yesterday!
