Keeping the Ancient God Cult in mind, he didn't rush to return—as they say, since he was already there.
Adding limiting words, guided by the world's direction, Qi Yuan cautiously approached the direction of the invaders.
He wasn't sure if it was because the World Crevice had a decomposing effect, or if it was psychological. Truth be told, staying in this void-like environment for too long would make anyone uncomfortable.
Floating for what seemed like an eternity, as if he were the only person in existence, even describing his current mood as lonely would be an understatement—only tranquility could accurately describe it.
Until he saw a massive shadow in the distance, only then did Qi Yuan's heart stir slightly.
The owner of this giant shadow blocked out the sky, at least a thousand meters long, appearing misty and emanating a faint glow, looking exactly like the nebula images Qi Yuan had seen before.
But he had no doubt whether this "nebula" before him was alive or dead. Besides the world's guidance, Qi Yuan could sense consciousness from the mist.
His spirit trembled involuntarily.
In this environment where dissipation could easily lead to decomposition, it could still maintain such a massive form. Indeed, beings capable of invading worlds were not to be underestimated!
Out of caution, he could only observe from afar.
Fortunately, the entity was a light-emitting being; otherwise, when he explored with his consciousness, he might have died before accomplishing anything.
Upon careful observation, Qi Yuan discovered that this enormous being was surrounded by small "nebulae" and medium-sized "nebulae," with many more "nebulae" residing in nearby world fragments.
If there was only one habitat, the numbers weren't too great.
But judging strength by numbers alone would be unwise.
With his current power, destroying a small country would be effortless, and even a large country would just require a bit more effort.
Between the Ancient God Cult and this group of "nebulae," Qi Yuan chose the former without hesitation.
Why fight a group when you can pick them off one by one?
Therefore, to avoid alerting them, Qi Yuan left that area.
...
Shortly after he left, the giant "nebula" shifted slightly.
Two medium-sized "nebulae" nearby floated closer, circling around it several times.
"How are you feeling?"
"Let's beg the leader once more to let our child leave this place earlier!"
The nebula that first communicated through consciousness hesitated for a moment before transmitting its thoughts.
"But..."
"No buts! He's different from us. The chaos elements are interfering with his ability to control dissipating consciousness. If he doesn't enter the world soon, he'll become completely mindless."
"...Alright, I'll try."
A thought transmitted into the minds of the two "nebulae," their mist circulation accelerating, showing their unstable emotions.
"No need to try."
A more condensed small "nebula" approached them, its transmitted thoughts extinguishing their hope.
"His body is too massive, unsuitable for being a vanguard."
One of the "nebulae" stammered while communicating through consciousness. Though they wanted their child to enter immediately, ruining the entire tribe's plans for one person was ultimately something they couldn't bring themselves to do.
"Yes... sorry..."
The other had a different opinion, their mist circulation speed revealing their agitated emotions.
"Leader, this world has so many rules, meaning the natives' power will be greatly limited. Even if we're discovered, what could they do?"
"I'm willing to sacrifice my life to clear all obstacles."
The leader, displeased, had already explained this before, and their persistent questioning showed disregard for the bigger picture.
Noticing some tribe members being swayed, they had to explain again.
"If it were that simple, why would I still be here? Not to mention that finding loopholes for people to pass through is rare and unpredictable. For our tribe members to enter the world sooner, the vanguard members carry a heavy burden. Furthermore, to live in the world later and deceive it, we need native bodies for disguise."
After hearing the explanation, the tribe members looked at the three "nebulae" with hostility.
The one who wanted to say more could only give up.
...
Back in his body again, knowing time was of the essence, Qi Yuan sent a clone to investigate the Ancient God Cult.
This experience left him somewhat frustrated—what happened to being invincible?
He glanced at his phone screen; two or three hours had passed, and it was almost bedtime.
His mother should have calmed down by now.
Thinking of this, he took his cup to the living room for water and planned to cook some late-night snacks in the kitchen.
As soon as Qi Yuan stepped into the living room, his mother's intense gaze fell upon him.
This scene was all too familiar, making his scalp tingle unusually.
Only his mother was in the living room. Qi Yuan keenly noticed her poor mood and sighed, sitting down on the sofa beside her.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Qi's mother said frankly, "I realized I'm angry at myself, but I don't understand why."
This unexpected answer nearly made Qi Yuan spray his water.
"You're truly a genius!" he thought sarcastically.
But his mother's next words stunned him.
"But when I saw you just now, I knew. Has everything been resolved?"
At that moment, Qi Yuan's heart contracted sharply, almost thinking he had been exposed in front of his mother, but upon careful consideration and knowing her personality, it seemed unlikely.
He asked directly, "What things?"
His mother, over forty but still clear-eyed, looked at him with confusion: "How would I know about your affairs?"
"I just felt like you had completed something, and I realized I know nothing about your situation. Suddenly, I felt inadequate as a mother."
Even this natural pessimist had intuition, somehow sensing the subtle changes between his clone and himself.
His mother probably felt she had inadvertently caused him trouble and was angry at herself for not noticing this earlier.
Qi Yuan was deeply moved... as if!
He just wanted to say, don't speak with such dramatic pauses—you'll scare someone to death!
"Well, half the matter is resolved."
Since his mother usually didn't dig too deep, Qi Yuan answered her question straightforwardly.
"Then why were you so happy earlier?"
Because I thought I was invincible earlier, and dealing with a small invader would be piece of cake?
He could only say, "The other half will be done soon."
"Alright, next time if you have something to do, just tell me directly."
Qi Yuan didn't argue with her, simply responding, "Okay. Now I want a late-night snack. Would you like some?"
"I'll go cook for you."
Watching his mother's busy figure in the kitchen, Qi Yuan couldn't help but smile.
She was his family, and also a reason to protect this world.
Just as he was feeling sentimental, the cup in his hand cracked and shattered into pieces.
Thinking of his mother's dramatic pauses earlier, his sentimental mood instantly vanished.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
