"Why hasn't Brother Chen come back yet?"
Emperor Capital frowned, pacing anxiously on the city walls, thinking of the words Chen Xia had left for him before departing. He dared not wander off and could only ask the passing saints.
"Has Brother Chen returned?"
The saints all shook their heads in response, "We haven't seen Saint Chen, Emperor Capital, how about a game of chess instead?"
Get lost, who wants to play chess with you? You start by taking my horses and then surrender immediately. You can't beat me anyway, you're just after my horses! Emperor Capital waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing them away.
"Haha, that's just how Saint Chen likes it." The saints laughed, enjoying the sight of Emperor Capital's annoyed expression, creating a lively atmosphere around the city walls.
In the Emperor Council.
There were still seven great emperors on the left front line, excluding the recently expelled Flowing Water Temple Master, leaving six.
Emperor Tianhe sat on the left, frowning and asking,
"Are there really remnants of darkness in those shattered star domains?"
The elder at the head of the table slightly raised an eyebrow, his long white eyebrows trembling, and tapped his dragon-headed staff lightly on the ground as he spoke.
"I used my great divine power to investigate and indeed found traces, but I am also defending against the Heavenly Dao and am unable to split my attention. Hence, I had to send Chen Xia, who is among the strongest, to investigate first. If anything is amiss, you will all go together to surround and kill them."
"Good," Emperor Tianhe nodded, then turned to ask, "Why has the recruitment by Tian Sen the Great Emperor been so inefficient lately?"
"No one wants to come, that's why," Tian Sen the Great Emperor shrugged helplessly, adding,
"Only a few saints with courage and ambition come to the front line. The rest are old foxes who don't care about the demise of star domains and just want to hide and live a few more years. Unless we capture them one by one and set life-and-death seals on them, these saints are useless even if we force them here."
After speaking, two small flowers sprouted on his shoulders, and he began to play with them.
The elder's eyes flickered again, his long eyebrows twitching once more, and he nodded,
Then capture them all. Even executing them directly on the front line would be fine. It can at least slow down the speed of the Heavenly Dao's descent. The more they try to escape the Heavenly Dao's reckoning, the more I want them to die!
The elder's words were awe-inspiring and unmatched, and the eyes of his dragon-headed staff shone with profound light, his aura not inferior to that of a great emperor.
This was the strongest emperor stationed on the left front line, with a cultivation level of four great emperors. It was rumored that he had killed the most emperors in the entire Great Heaven, hence he was also known as the Executioner Emperor.
His emperor title was simply called the Executioner!
The emperors were in discussion when they suddenly turned their heads together, sensing a powerful pressure from a distance, an emperor's aura!
"Chen Xia!" Emperor Tianhe instantly reacted, disappearing from his spot and rushing towards the source of the pressure.
The other emperors followed suit, leaving only the Executioner Emperor to guard the front line.
On the city walls, Emperor Capital excitedly stood up, kicking over the chessboard that the saints were playing with, and flew towards the source of the pressure without hesitation, shouting,
"Brother Chen, wait for me!"
The two saints beside him looked at the overturned chessboard and scattered pieces, completely confused.
Why did you kick our chessboard when you left?
In the void.
Emperor Tianhe was the first to arrive, blocking the emperor's aura and residual sword light that swept towards him, then frowned at the sight before him.
There were no shattered star domains here, but there were some remaining starlight and faint star domain auras, as if they had existed not long ago.
Looking further ahead, there was a storm of emperor's aura and sword light mixed together, making it difficult to see the scene inside.
Emperor Tianhe paused for a moment, and then Tian Sen the Great Emperor and several others arrived, asking curiously,
"Just got here, what's the situation?"
"A very intense battle?" Emperor Tianhe replied.
"I can see that for myself, do I need you to tell me?" The elder with eyebrows like a galaxy frowned.
Tian Sen the Great Emperor touched the flowers on his shoulder and suggested, "Why don't we go in and take a look?"
"Let's go!" Emperor Tianhe nodded directly.
They were indeed not afraid of these, walking straight into the storm of emperor's aura and sword light, suppressing these forces as they went.
Not far ahead, they could see a faint figure standing quietly.
"Chen Xia?" Emperor Tianhe asked doubtfully.
"He's holding a sword, so it probably is." Tian Sen the Great Emperor agreed.
"Not necessarily, maybe his flying sword was taken away. After all, no one can predict the outcome of this ambush." The elder replied.
Tian Sen and Tianhe, the two great emperors, turned their heads together, frowning at the elder,
"If you can't say anything good, then don't say anything."
The few emperors fell silent and moved towards the center, getting closer to the figure.
Blood.
They sensed a strong blood pulse, a sign that an emperor had fallen, indicating that an emperor had perished here not long ago.
They became more vigilant, moving forward and waving away the surrounding sword lights, getting closer to the figure holding the sword in the center.
Their figures suddenly paused when they saw a head, a head entangled with dark energy, its neck bleeding, its eyes unclosed, an emperor's head.
This head was held by a hand, and looking up, they saw Chen Xia's calm face.
"Are you on a group outing?"
Chen Xia casually asked, shaking his right hand and flicking his sword, scattering the emperor's blood, which then returned to his Heart Lake, leading three million flying swords.
"Have you already slain the emperor?" Emperor Tianhe frowned.
"What kind of speed is this, it feels like you've become even stronger?" Tian Sen the Great Emperor also expressed his confusion.
"Huh, I recognize this emperor you're holding, a pure dog of the Heavenly Dao, well done for killing him!" The elder exclaimed.
"Briefly explain the situation." Emperor Tianhe said again.
"Nothing much to say, two emperor remnants set up an ambush to kill me, and I killed one of them." Chen Xia casually said, shaking off the emperor's blood from his hand, and added with some regret,
"Actually, I could have killed both, but I didn't take them seriously at first, and they reacted and fled separately. There's a saying, 'the slowest one is the vanguard,' so I caught and killed the slow one."
He spoke very casually, as if he had just cleared a small group of monsters in the wild.
"Hmm?" Emperor Tianhe suddenly frowned, curious again,
"There should be a remnant star domain here, why is it also gone?"
"It was completely obliterated in my battle with the emperor."
Chen Xia turned around, casually replying.
His words were very light.
Light enough to make it hard to discern the truth.
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
mance] After transmigrating for eighteen years, Lin Qi lived as an utterly ordinary herbalist in the countryside. One day, he kindly brought home a sickly, beautiful girl covered in blood. They married in a flash and began their blissful, intimate life together. Right then, his long-delayed system finally activated. [Warning! Host detected in contact with the "Crimson Calamity," the world-ending witch!] Lin Qi looked at the adorable wife currently curled in his arms, who couldn't even open a jar lid and trembled at the sight of a mouse.

Combing his wife's hair rewarded him with [Free Attribute Points]. Taking his wife out for sunshine rewarded him with [Forbidden Spell: Arcane Explosion]. Lin Qi: "This soft life tastes so good!" ... Yet, in the eyes of outsiders: The strongest Beastkin Assassin: "That man dissected a Beast King with a common skinning knife! That was a show of force towards the powerful!" The Holy Son of the Radiant Church: "I infiltrated his home as a tutor, but he had me babysit the children... He must have seen through my disguise!" The World-Ending Witch, Felucia: "I hid all the way in the countryside. How is it that the husband I married on a whim is stronger than I was at my peak?"
