In the great hall, Lynn suddenly froze in bewilderment.
He immediately sensed a faint, almost imperceptible connection.
[Faith power?]
Lynn pondered.
A thousand years ago, after becoming a demigod, he had indeed spread faith in himself across most of the continent to forge his own divine authority.
But since his rebirth, that connection had been severed.
Because he had lost his partial divine authority, he could no longer sense the prayers of his believers.
[I can actually sense the prayers of my believers, and they seem to be very close...]
[Is it because I recently came into contact with my divine authority again...]
[Heh, interesting]
Then.
Lynn closed his eyes.
In an instant, a blurry image appeared in Lynn's mind.
Vivian?
That granddaughter of his from who knows how many generations ago who had suddenly run off?
Lynn was puzzled.
Why was she praying to him?
And in the next moment, that voice hazily echoed in Lynn's mind.
"Vivian may have found her perfect match..."
"...Vivian requests the ancestor's blessing, to grant her a powerful enchantment that can knock out her dream man!!"
Lynn's lips curled into a smile.
Not bad!
Had she found someone she fancied at the banquet and planned to knock him out and carry him off as her boyfriend?
Indeed worthy of being a woman of the Violet Family!
She truly inherited her great-great-great-great-great grandmother's excellent traditions!
So that's why she suddenly ran off, because she saw someone she liked...
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—
Lynn's gaze quickly swept across all the men in the banquet hall.
So.
Which lucky fellow had caught the eye of the little princess of the Violet Family?
Lynn's lips curled upward.
In that case...
How could I, as the ancestor, not help?
In an instant.
Lynn's finger moved ever so slightly, and an imperceptible flash of light passed by.
The target is very powerful, but can't be killed, so I'll give you an enchantment that can 100% stun anyone below divine level, hehehe—
As for what happens after, that depends on whether you can seize the opportunity!
This is all your old ancestor can do for you!
...
In that moment.
Vivian, who was praying in the hall, suddenly froze, then she joyfully saw that the hammer in her hand gradually began to glow with a faint light.
Then it vanished in a flash.
And in the next moment, several lines of text suddenly appeared in her mind.
[Stunning Rune — Demigod Level]
Vivian immediately showed a shocked expression.
"The... the prayer was answered!! The ancestor actually answered Vivian's prayer!!"
Vivian stared at the hammer in her hand in amazement, that feeling of shock and joy almost made her want to jump up!
The descendants of their Violet Family had come here to pray to the ancestor every day.
But in the past thousand years, no one had ever received a response from the ancestor.
Could it be...
The ancestor hadn't died, but had become something like a deity?!
Vivian swallowed, both shocked and delighted.
But regardless.
The ancestor had shown his divine power.
So clearly, the ancestor also very much approved of this matter.
"Thank you, ancestor! Thank you for your blessing!" Vivian kowtowed several times with loud thuds, her eyes reddening with emotion.
"Vivian will definitely carry on the excellent traditions of the Violet Family! Definitely!"
She clenched her small fist, full of fighting spirit, her eyes instantly becoming determined.
...
In the banquet hall.
[Hehehe— Indeed worthy of being my descendant, Lynn's bloodline, so decisive in action!]
[Giving a little help to my only descendant is completely fine.]
[I'm counting on her to have several children and continue passing down the Violet Family's excellent genes! Hahaha!]
Lynn's expression relaxed.
Nanako wore a strange expression.
Her master's mood seemed to have suddenly become very good.
But the fact that Vivian was her master's descendant was really strange no matter how you thought about it!
However, what was it about Vivian suddenly running away earlier?
A love interest?
She was full of questions.
And just as she wanted to continue eavesdropping on her master's thoughts.
Footsteps came from afar.
They saw Vivian, wearing a long dress, gracefully walking in from the back door, her face wearing a gentle smile, exceptionally elegant and beautiful.
"I apologize." Vivian curtsied apologetically, saying: "I suddenly encountered some urgent matters earlier, so I had to step away briefly. I hope Steward Nanako won't mind."
Looking at the sincere expression of the girl who was slightly taller than herself.
Nanako waved her small hand, (ノ ̄▽ ̄) saying:
"It's fine, it's fine, nice to meet you, Lady Vivian!"
So, this is her master's descendant?
But no matter how she looked, she couldn't find any resemblance.
Hmm...
That's right, if her master wanted to lay low, he definitely wouldn't disguise himself as his original appearance.
But for her rascal master to have such an elegant and beautiful descendant, it really was quite strange.
Vivian and Nanako quickly began to converse in a friendly and cordial manner.
However, Arnold, who was standing behind them, widened his eyes as cold sweat poured down his head.
Because he saw.
At Vivian's waist, there was actually a large hammer!!
Arnold was dumbfounded.
Lady Vivian...
You... you ran back just to get this hammer?
What are you planning to do! What are you planning to do with that hammer?!
Farming?!!!
Meanwhile, Lynn, who was standing not far from Nanako, curled his lips into a smile.
His heart was filled with fatherly benevolence.
He naturally easily sensed the small hammer hidden behind Vivian's back.
[Indeed worthy of being my descendant, truly acting as soon as she decides, already brought the hammer!]
[Sigh, sigh, it's been many years since I've seen my descendants being so promising!]
[And she didn't even glance in my direction once, it seems my descendant has excellent character, immediately understanding the hint not to expose me.]
[However, how could she possibly know that I, this senior, am actually her ancestor? Hahaha!]
[So, which lucky fellow has caught my descendant's eye?]
Lynn's gaze swept across all the men around.
Arnold? Too old, too ugly, and prone to diarrhea, probably not him.
The Sword Puppet? He's not human...
That effeminate noble youth in the back? He already has a boyfriend...
Lynn's gaze swept across all the men present with curiosity and scrutiny.
Meanwhile, Vivian, who was having a friendly conversation with Nanako, was secretly glancing this way with her peripheral vision.
Deep breath!
Deep breath!
You can do this, Vivian!
Senior is a fan of the Violet Lord.
And she is a descendant of the Violet Lord.
So roughly speaking, senior is half her fan.
Roughly speaking again, senior must also like her very much.
Therefore, knocking him out to claim ownership has a very high probability of success!!
Great ancestor!
Please bless Vivian!

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
