Warning: This chapter contains scenes of violence that may be disturbing to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.
Qi Xiu Yun looked up at his expressionless lord.
Such a fragile human.
It seemed that a little forceful touch would cause limbs to shatter, blood and flesh flying.
Qi Xiu Yun always liked such scenes, but at this moment, he restrained himself from reaching out, very devoutly moving the person onto the wheelchair. He also noticed the white doll Shen Jie was holding in the corner of his eye.
“Does His Highness like white puppies?” he smiled, squinting his eyes. “When we return to the temple, I can find the most beautiful pet dog for you to raise, whether you like them big, small, fat, or skinny.”
He rubbed his chin in thought. “In the Dark Domain, there should be many aliens that could serve as dogs for His Highness.”
Shen Jie finally spoke, “I don’t seem to have agreed to go back with you.”
Bound to the wheelchair by blood threads, unable to move his hands or legs, his words lacked conviction.
Qi Xiu Yun smiled indulgently, “It’s okay, Your Highness. Right now, you’re just not feeling the presence of the King. It’s supreme and omnipotent. You were chosen as its vessel, and you will soon understand the true will of the King. When the end comes, you will willingly accept the King’s bestowal.”
Shen Jie: “…”
He wanted to raise his hand to rub his throbbing temples, but he was bound by the blood threads and couldn’t move.
He was unable to move, but his mind was very active—
When he first noticed something was wrong with Qi Xiu Yun, the system screamed.
[Oh no! Host, it’s the ‘Eye of the Unborn’! Why is this guy here instead of attacking the exoskeletons with the alien army? Could it be that he has realized that you are the true form of the savior?]
As he processed the situation, the system cursed angrily.
[Damn it! This is a diversion tactic! These aliens are too cunning!]
But when Xiao Qing, out of control, was questioned by Qi Chu, the system’s angry curses turned into hesitation.
[Feng Qing? Yan Feng Qing? How could he possibly be Yan Feng Qing?]
Shen Jie: “Why not?”
[It’s impossible! Yan Feng Qing must be dead! ‘Eternal Exile’ would exile things into the void, a place where even Rank Two ability users would be shredded into pieces, and no one could return alive from the chaotic flows of the void. And Yan Feng Qing… he was once the strongest ability user in the city. There’s even a sculpture of him in the city’s schools. Such a powerful and resolute person, how could he become like this? I don’t believe it!]
But the system’s disbelief only lasted for a short time.
As Qi Xiu Yun respectfully addressed “Your Highness,” the system fell silent.
Silent.
Silent.
For a moment, the system dreamily murmured.
[I must have misheard, right?]
However, as Qi Xiu Yun continued to affectionately call out “Your Highness” and mentioned “You are the vessel it chose,” the system covered its cybernetic heart, its voice ethereal as if it could crash at any moment.

[What vessel, what king, what end… I didn’t hear anything, nothing at all…]
Ktf rsrafw fwlaafv rtjgq yegrar.
[Host!!! How could you be the vessel chosen by the King! I don’t believe it!!! There must be some mistake somewhere!!!]
The chosen host, the hope to save the world, how could he possibly be the vessel chosen by the King of the aliens?
Although he might be a “salty fish,” a host with such high attractiveness and talent, destined to become the great demon king who destroys the world? No, it doesn’t believe it!!!

Xiao Qing bounced along behind them.
The three entered the elevator. Shen Jie held the Samoyed in his arms, still clutching his phone. At this moment, his fingers suddenly tapped a few times on the phone screen.
The screen lit up—ordinary people would find it difficult to conceal their actions in front of aliens, especially with the latest model of phones being large and bright, like a brick.
Qi Xiu Yun immediately noticed his actions, but just smiled. Although he was usually fond of cruelty and brutality, unexpectedly, his temperament was quite good in front of this ordinary person, “Are you trying to notify that filthy thing who dared to defile the divine body to come save you? He should still be in the mist and may not receive your signal.”
“But to avoid trouble, let me hold onto your phone for now.”
Qi Xiu Yun manipulated the blood threads and took Shen Jie’s phone.
Shen Jie didn’t react and let him take the phone.
Out of curiosity, Qi Xiu Yun glanced at the content.
But what he saw on the screen was a timer rapidly counting down.
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4…
Qi Xiu Yun was puzzled, “Huh?”
Why would he suddenly set a countdown timer on his phone? The mindset of this person facing kidnapping was indeed quite peculiar.
Just as he was pondering this, the countdown reached zero.
Then came a loud bang.
The phone exploded entirely.

In the underground space without sunlight,
Azure fluorescent vines and clusters of leaves were distributed among the crevices of the rocks, while groups of fiery red mushrooms sprouted and glowed. Blood-red fluorite was embedded in the top of the rock dome, countless giant rock pillars supported the entire underground space, the ground was littered with white bones, and lava flowed..
Different types of aliens inhabited various underground caves, their eyes of various colors shining in the darkness, twinkling like stars.
This was the Dark Domain.
The City of Aliens.
At the highest point in the center of the underground space, atop a heap of bones, stood a towering temple.
The temple was predominantly in dark tones, constructed of black bricks and blood-red luminescent fluorite, extraordinarily magnificent and grand in scale, towering to a height of thousands of feet, seamlessly connecting with the rocky peak.
Boiling magma formed a crimson ribbon, surrounding the colossal temple.
Inside the temple.
The Snail Repairer was holding a cloth, wiping the window made of blood-red fluorite.
Although he had wiped the window three times, he continued to wipe it.
As he wiped, he hummed a tuneless song in his mouth, his shell swaying from side to side, the whole snail was very happy.
A little boy with colorful wings was sitting on the bench behind him, his arms crossed, looking very serious.
As time passed by, the little boy couldn’t help it anymore and suddenly shouts in a childish voice, “Repairer!”
The Repairer stops and turns to look at him, “What’s… wrong?”
“The gentleman said His Highness is about to arrive, but it’s been a long time, why haven’t we seen even a shadow of His Highness?”
In order to meet His Highness as soon as possible, he rushed over from the Ant King’s Garden overnight, and he stayed excited all night without closing his eyes.
“Take it easy… take it easy…” the Repairer said, “What should come… will come… what shouldn’t run… can’t run…”
At that moment, a spatial door suddenly opened in the center of the hall.
A pungent smell of burning wafted over.
Qi Xiu Yun’s hair was blown into an explosion, his face was as black as ink, even his heart in his chest was exposed, and one of his palms was blown off, walking out like a black charcoal. Ashes fell on the ground as he walked.
—Even though he was blown up like this, he still had to push the wheelchair through the spatial door.
Most of the bandages on Xiao Qing’s body had also been destroyed by the explosion, with green flames burning in the damaged areas, fueled by his flesh, skin, and bones, making his face still unclear.
【It’s hot… it hurts…】
Shen Jie, on the other hand, was unharmed, sitting in the wheelchair, with some of the blood lines on his body scattered due to the explosion.
As a result, he managed to free one hand, propping his chin up with it, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings. His expression was weary and cold.
The Repairer nudged his mosquito eye.
Their Highness didn’t look like the ordinary person they imagined, who should have been brought here suddenly and should have been anxious.
Instead, he looked more like a king who had been awakened halfway through his sleep to patrol his territory.

City, Observation Center Tower.
The highest room was in chaos,
Chi Xu’s body lay on the side, blood flowing all over the floor.
The figure, cloaked in shadows and wearing a silver mask, was impaled through the chest by a long arrow. As a result, its shadowy form began to crumble and dissolve.
Yet, it was laughing.
“Hahaha… Zhu Wu You, even if you kill this avatar of mine, so what? None of your schemes will succeed, and none of the futures you desire will come to pass.”
Another arrow, forcefully piercing through its chest.
Its disintegration speed noticeably accelerated, but its laughter grew even more manic.
“We’ll meet again soon. By then, I will personally take your ability core as the final piece of my ascension to Rank One,” Wu Yan said. “As for today, I must thank you for spending your attention to play this game with me, wasting quite a bit of time.”
After the shadow finished speaking, its figure completely disappeared.
Zhu Wu You was gasping heavily, his chest heaving, blood trickling down his lips.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, quickly picking up the nearby communicator and dialing a number.

*Ding-a-ling…*
As the phone rang, Shi Chen sat in what seemed like an iron-clad office, facing Steven.
The young blond teenager—ostensibly his son—was angrily questioning something, his mouth moving incessantly.
“Why! Why agree to the ‘Bait Plan’?”
He wasn’t interested in such remarks, his gaze scanning the scrolling numbers and text on the screen, analyzing the data of the city’s disaster, while his other hand answered the phone.
The voice of Zhu Wu You came through, “Shi Chen… *cough*… we’ve been tricked…”
“Their true target… is not the Savior Star… but…”

Zong Lin unfurled his bone wings and darted through the mist.
His blood-red pupils contracted into sharp points, resembling a predatory cheetah in the mist, ruthless and ferocious.
The pale spear pierced through yet another host’s body.
Covered in blood, he emerged from the mist, exuding an aura of dread that intimidated even the aliens.
The sixth one.
There were a total of seven entrances to the mist around him. By dealing with the remaining one, the siege of the aliens could be relieved.
As he approached the seventh mist entrance, his movement suddenly halted.
A faint “crack” resounded in his soul.
— It was the soul imprint he had previously left on Shen Jie’s phone, now shattered.
Shen Jie is in danger!
Ooooh my goddd thank u for the chapter
Whelp. Also, I thought Steven was wheelchair bound and yet he ran for his research before… did I get that bit wrong?
Also… poor system. Every thing was going semi-fine until it woke back up. Now he’s got Harvey Two Face to babysit
Steven is Shen Jie’s coworker, the one who dyes his hair blond. Infact he is Shen Jie’s only friend at work. They eat together all the time. He is also revealed to be the Director’s son. He isn’t wheel chair bound.
🙏🏻 see I thought that then did myself a confuse. I must have been thinking about Jie as a merman
Thank you for the chapters! ❤
—Instead, he looked more like a king who had been awakened halfway through Hus sleep to patrol his territory—
