[Chat Group For The Death] Chapter 261 - 265

Chapter 261: Now Luffy's Carrying Bricks at the Construction Site!

"It's over? After all, it's all the power of a Dou Di, so easily absorbed?"

Zhu Kun looked at Lucas who had easily absorbed the power of Emperor Tuo She and asked with a confused expression.

"What do you expect? This is my home ground."

Lucas smiled disdainfully, took out the Emperor Grade Pill, which was sealed by himself before, and ate it like a jelly bean.

"Not bad, not bad! The energy from the pill is really great, and I feel that my life form has evolved."

Sensing the changes brought about by the energy of the pill, Lucas nodded with satisfaction.

"Zhu Kun, do you still have a daughter?"

Lucas turned his head to look at Zhu Kun, who was beside him, and the chat group was blown away by what he asked.

Senju Hashirama: "Group Leader, are you doing this old routine again?"

Senju Tobirama: "What's so strange about this? The Group Leader is a womanizer."

Lucas: "Where are you going with this? I asked him this purely out of kindness."

Howard Stark: "Want to provide him with an excellent son-in-law? You don’t need to explain, it makes sense. After all, there is no Dou Di in the Dou qi Continent today, and Group Leader is the strongest in the Dou qi Continent!"

Xiao Xuan: "Zhu Kun is a character who lived tens of thousands of years ago and was trapped in the cave of the Ancient Emperor Tuo She for thousands of years. If he had a daughter, she would be thousands of years old now, right?"

Liu Xing: "This is a bit exciting, unless his daughter is also a peak Dou Zong, or is she an old woman now?"

Lucas: "I don't know why, but his daughter is still a little loli. She hasn't grown up for thousands of years. Who knows what's going on? Maybe there's a bug!"

Back in the outside world, when Zhu Kun heard Lucas's words, his face changed greatly, and he asked anxiously, "I do have a daughter. How did Group Leader know about her?"

Lucas laughed: "There is nothing I don't know!"

Zhu Kun asked hesitantly, "Is my daughter alright? Back then, I was greedy for the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuo She, so I left Zi Yan and went to the underground world by myself to find the ancient emperor's cave."

Speaking of this, Zhu Kun said with heartache: "I wanted to go and return quickly, but who knew that the bastard Emperor Tuo She had done tricks on his own cave, so that I couldn't come out. Thousands of years have passed—I can't even imagine what my poor daughter is doing now."

Lucas said with a smile: "Don't worry! Your daughter is from the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe after all, and her bloodline talent is still very strong. She has been living alone deep in the Mountain Range. Although she has been bullied by powerful monsters, she still lives without any problem."

Zhu Kun said eagerly: "Can I return to the Dou qi Continent immediately? I want to see her."

Lucas waved Zhu Kun to the Dou qi Continent with a wave of his hand, and told him the location of his daughter, "Your daughter is in the Magic Beast Mountains near Black Corner Region. Look for her and you will find her."

Xiao Xuan watched Zhu Kun leave and asked, "Group Leader, you have taken away all the Origin Qi in the Dou qi Continent. Is there any sign of the recovery of the Origin Qi?"

Lucas pondered: "The restoration of Origin Qi may require a Dou Di to oversee it. This is a good thing—you can take the opportunity to cultivate to peak Dou Sheng. Without the strength of a peak Dou Sheng, what would happen if Origin Qi appeared?"

Xiao Xuan was speechless. It was true.

Xiao Xuan said helplessly: "There are now only a few members of the Xiao Clan, and the strongest is only a Dou Zong. Without the blessing of Dou Di's bloodline, how difficult it would be to find someone with the talent of Dou Di!"

Lucas's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "I have a good candidate. Do you remember Xiao Chen? Xiao Chen, the former Blood Axe, should have a little chance of being promoted to Dou Di."

Xiao Xuan said differently: "Xiao Chen died earlier than me. How could he get promoted to Dou Di?"

Lucas said: "Who said he was dead? He was just testing his own power and wanted to conquer the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, but ended up being trapped in the flame's space. I'm going to capture the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and rescue him."

Xiao Xuan hesitated and said, "Xiao Chen and the current Xiao Clan are far removed by blood. If he becomes the Dou Di, there are probably not many who can benefit from his bloodline."

Lucas said helplessly: "Then what do you want to do? You also said that there are not many geniuses in the Xiao family. Why don't you wait another thousand years to see if the Son of Destiny can reappear?"

Xiao Xuan said speechlessly: "Wait for a thousand years? It's too long! Besides, Group Leader, you have changed the Dou qi Continent so much. Even if the Son of Destiny really appears, there are serious doubts about whether he can still become a Dou Di!"

Lucas said indifferently: "As you wish! I'm just giving you a chance to choose—how you choose depends on you. I'll save Xiao Chen for you, after all, I'm determined to conquer the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame."

In the chat group:

Senju Tobirama: "@Xiao Xuan, I suggest you don't wait any longer for the Son of Destiny. After the world transformed by the Group Leader, the Son of Destiny is completely useless. For example, Luffy, the Son of Destiny in our world—he can't even go to sea now."

Lucas: "What's going on? Tell me, how is future Pirate King Luffy doing now?"

Senju Tobirama: "Pirate King Luffy? Group Leader, you're heartless! In the pirate world that you've transformed, the pirates have completely lost the ground to survive. The appearance of the traversers has completely exposed the Revolutionary Army. Now they were also arrested and are being reformed through labor."

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! Is that old bastard Garp's son arrested too? That's great news!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "The World Government and Celestial Dragons have been wiped out, and Dragon and his Revolutionary Army are still in high spirits. They're clearly ambitious people, so it would be better if they were arrested and reformed through labor."

Senju Tobirama: "Not only Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, but his son, Luffy the Straw Hat, was also arrested and transformed. He and his crew regrouped and wanted to go out to sea again, but Garp, who was waiting on the shore, caught him. Now he's moving bricks at the construction site!"

Pirate King Roger: "Wait! Where's Rayleigh?"

Senju Tobirama: "The old guy has no reason to continue helping Luffy after the World Government and Celestial Dragons have been wiped out. After Garp caught up with Rayleigh, he let him continue to live in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago."

Fire Fist Ace: "Poor Luffy, is his dream completely over?"

Pirate King Roger: "People's dreams never end!"

Lucas: "Roger, Blackbeard also said that."

Pirate King Roger: "???"

Whitebeard: "..."

Fire Fist Ace: "..."

Golden Lion Shiki: "It seems that Blackbeard is the one who truly inherited Roger's will."

Pirate King Roger: "Cough! Realizing one's dreams is a person's freedom, but this freedom cannot hinder the freedom of others. Blackbeard's dream seriously hinders the freedom of others, and I don't approve of his dream. Don't talk nonsense—we are not the same kind of people."

Senju Tobirama: "Group Leader, the people of the World Federation have discovered the whereabouts of Pure Gold in a certain sea area. Do you know about this?"

Lucas: "I know! Pure Gold—a special metal that emits special radiation and slows down cell aging infinitely. Rather than a scientific creation, it is more a work of alchemy."

Pirate King Roger: [sigh] "In order to cure me, the Roger Pirates also tried to find Pure Gold. But Pure Gold disappeared mysteriously after it appeared, and we didn't find it."

Senju Tobirama: "According to the information we've obtained, there is Pure Gold inside a huge lanternfish. The reason why the Pure Gold disappeared back then was because the island where the Pure Gold was born was destroyed by the Sea King-level lanternfish—it swallowed it whole!"

Whitebeard: "Swallow an entire island? This is too exaggerated! Even people with good appetites like the Island Whale may not be able to swallow an island in one bite."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Group Leader, you shouldn't need something like Pure Gold now, right?"

Lucas: "Yeah! Although I don't need it anymore, some woman might need it! Tobirama, have the merfolk help capture the lanternfish. Shirahoshi can be dispatched. As Poseidon, she can order all sea creatures, so she can make the lanternfish obey her—it's not a problem."

Sword God Ryuma: "Isn't Poseidon's ability just to control Sea Kings? Now it's controlling all sea creatures?"

Lucas: "Yes she is one of the ancient weapon, of course she can?"

Lucas: "In addition to collecting Pure Gold, try to find a method to make the Pure Gold."

Howard Stark: "This idea is good! We now have the highest technology in the Marvel world, and we can definitely make this substance. If science can't do it, the Group Leader's god-level alchemy definitely can."

Chapter 262: The God of War Who Lost All Battles!

Battle Through the Heavens World:

With his powerful strength, Lucas forcibly pulled out the sealed demon flame space hidden in the turbulent void, then opened it with one finger, walked in, and directly suppressed and swallowed the sealed Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

After obtaining the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuo She, Lucas also obtained the technique for fusion of different flame. He is going to collect all the different flame species in this world to strengthen him.

A figure with white flames wrapped around his body appeared—it was Xiao Chen, who was from the same era as Xiao Xuan. He had been controlled by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and has been its puppet all these years.

In the chat group:

Uchiha Shisui : "What's wrong with this Xiao Chen? His appearance seems to be controlled by illusion."

Lucas: "That's the ability of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. It can use illusion to control others. The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and Void-Swallowing Flame are among the best primordial fires in the Dou qi Continent, and their abilities are much stronger than other Heavenly Flames."

Xiao Xuan: "The Primordial Fire? Indeed, the fire of the Ancient Emperor Tuo She came from a fusion. If we really want to talk about the ranking, Void-Swallowing Flame is the No. 1 Fire and Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is the second-ranked Heavenly Flame in the 'Five-Three-Zero' ranking."

Lucas: "Seriously speaking, both the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and the Void-Swallowing Flame have more than two abilities. In addition to the flame ability, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame also has purification and illusion; the Void-Swallowing Flame has, in addition to the flame ability, concealment and devouring."

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! From a fusion of two Devil Fruit abilities, to a fusion of three Devil Fruit abilities? To be precise, it has three characteristics similar to Devil Fruit abilities."

Golden Lion Shiki: "You don't need too many abilities, just one kind is enough. The flame characteristics of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and the Void-Swallowing Flame are not comparable to the abilities of Mera Mera Fruit at all—it can even be said to be worlds apart."

Sword God Ryuma: "Indeed! Just looking at the white flames in this space makes me tremble. I feel that if I enter it, I will turn to ashes in an instant, which is not an order of magnitude stronger at all."

Lucas: "What are you thinking? Xiao Chen's current strength should be between four-star and five-star Dou Sheng. Those of the Xiao family can't even reach his ankles, and it is almost impossible to reach his height."

Xiao Xuan: "What a pity! If he hadn't wasted too much time in the demon fire space, his current strength would definitely have reached a six-star or even a seven-star Dou Sheng."

Lucas: "Really?"

Xiao Xuan: "He came to conquer the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame because he was extremely confident in his talent and strength."

Lucas: "It's a pity to be too conceited, right? It doesn't matter! Didn't you store a lot of the bloodline power of the Xiao Clan in the Celestial Tomb? You can use it to supplement him and strengthen his talent. Back then, you gathered the power of the Xiao Clan. The power of blood all in one, although you failed to advance to Dou Di, it is enough to show that this method can improve strength and potential."

Xiao Xuan: "That's a good idea! Xiao Chen's bloodline power is already at the top level. If he gets those bloodline powers, he will definitely make his talent potential even stronger. Of course, it's not guaranteed to improve his strength."

Lucas: "It doesn't matter! If it doesn't work, I'll make him a few ninth-grade Golden Elixirs. Without the source of the Origin Qi, no Emperor Elixir can be made, but the ninth-grade elixir, which is second only to the Emperor Elixir, should be no problem."

Xiao Xuan: [sighs with relief] "That's good! In that case, I'll take Xiao Chen and leave first. The Celestial Tomb is in the Gu Clan space, and I'm going to say hello to Gu Yuan."

Lucas: "If you have any questions, you can call Zhu Kun! With two top Dou Shengs going out, I believe the other will be sensible."

Thomas Wayne: "Group Leader, I have a situation here."

Lucas: "What happened to Batman?"

Thomas Wayne: "It's not Batman. It seems that there is a problem with the Olympians. Wonder Woman sent someone to say that Ares, the God of War, seems to have some plan on Earth, and is likely to come to Earth to do something in the near future."

Lucas: [pondering] "Ares? Leave him alone! This unlucky guy will be robbed of the God of War position by Wonder Woman."

Uranus: "Who is Ares, the God of War? I died a little early, and I have no impression of this god."

Lucas: "Ares, the God of War, is the son of your grandson Zeus, born to his wife Hera. He is arrogant and domineering, irritable, and likes to argue and fight. He is the God of War who represents aggressive warfare."

Miyano Atsushi: "I know! The portrayal of this God of War in myths and legends is very bad. If he appears, there will be no good outcome. There will definitely be bloodshed and war."

Howard Stark: [laughing] "Not only that, there are also a lot of scandalous stories about him. It is said that he has an affair with his sister-in-law Aphrodite. And this Aphrodite... Uranus, do you know how she appeared? Your consciousness should not have disappeared at that time."

Uranus: "???"

Lucas: [simply] "After you were overthrown, something fell into the sea, and in the floating foam, Aphrodite, a symbol of love and beauty, was born."

Uranus: "!!!"

How the hell did those bastards reconstruct my story after I was gone?

Uranus is a little sad. History is really a little girl who can be dressed up, and only those in power have the right to interpret it.

Uranus: [indignantly] "I gave Zeus such a big gift, and he did this? It's too much!"

Lucas: [indifferently] "It's just that you misunderstood Zeus. Zeus is not that kind of person. Maybe in Zeus' eyes, these rumors about you are nothing at all."

Howard Stark: "Yes! Zeus is very fraternal, and he is interested in all beautiful women... no, all beautiful people... no, and all beautiful creatures."

Uranus: "..."

After being speechless for a moment, Uranus suddenly said: "I understand! I and Cronus both have the strength to fight against Gaia, but Zeus does not have this power even if he inherits my authority in the sky."

Lucas: [speechlessly] "You mean, without the fun game of power grabbing, Zeus can only use such low-level means to have fun?"

Thomas Wayne: "Not necessarily! In the mythology I know, Zeus and his two brothers had a fierce power struggle... Not only that, but he also had a fierce conflict with the older Titans."

Uranus: "After inheriting my divine power in the sky, as long as Zeus doesn't kill Gaia and fight against him, no one else will be his opponent."

Howard Stark: [speechlessly] "Even if you say that, you can't explain Zeus's superb love history! Saying that he's fraternal underestimates him—he's simply a womanizer of mythic proportions!"

Sebastian Shaw: "Although Uranus in myths and legends is full of desires, he is still more single-minded. Zeus is different—men and women, birds and beasts are not spared. In particular, he likes beautiful women in the mortal world. Whether they're married or unmarried doesn't matter."

Uranus: [thoughtfully] “Aside from me and Kronos—the two obsessed with power—the rest of our family has always been… unusually passionate. It’s no surprise Zeus turned out this way. Purity isn’t exactly a family trait.”

Lucas: "That's right! The goddesses of purity in your family can be counted on one hand. Didn't I say it before? The desires of the Olympians are stronger than those of mortals."

Doflamingo: "Fufufufu~ So what you're saying is... Ares, the mighty God of War, amounts to nothing?"

Thomas Wayne: "Oh, right—we're talking about Ares?"

Lucas: "What’s there to say? The so-called God of War? Please. He’s been beaten down left and right so many times, it’s a miracle he still calls himself that. If not for his thick skin, he would've stepped down ages ago. At this rate, Wonder Woman might as well take the title herself."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: [thoughtfully] "He’s that pitiful… and yet his sister-in-law has feelings for him? How strange."

Howard Stark: [laughing] "I know why! Because his sister-in-law, Aphrodite, has a flirtatious temperament and has had affairs with almost all the male gods."

Irisviel von Einzbern: [surprised] "Is this too exaggerated? Shameless!"

Lucas: "You don’t get it, do you? Aphrodite doesn’t love others—she makes others fall in love with her. If you looked at her as a man, you’d start to see her true nature."

Howard Stark: [speechless] "If the goddess of love swapped roles with her lovers... she’d be unstoppable. At that point, we’re not just talking about a few flings—this would be a full-blown harem spanning all of Olympus!"

Lucas: "Exactly. You’ve got to break out of the limits of gender and stop clinging to human notions. The Olympians don’t follow our traditional rules. Aphrodite, in essence, is the playboy of the gods. That’s just how it is. But most people... they’re not ready to accept that."

Sebastian Shaw: [smiling] "To most people, the goddess of love seems like a tragic figure—powerless, mistreated by the Olympians, the victim of fate. But in reality? She’s more like a gleeful romantic, casually flipping through her collection of conquests like a flower collector strolling through Olympus."

Lucas: "Let me give you a heads-up—don’t joke about this. Honestly, I have zero interest in them."

Chapter 263: Zeus, the Long Aotian!

Howard Stark: [with a smile] "Really? I'm quite interested in Zeus. I checked Zeus's myth carefully and found that this guy's position as the King of Gods basically depends on his... sleeping around."

Miyano Atsushi: "Sounds exciting... I guess I’ll take a look too."

Uranus: [speechlessly] "If you want to say that, it's actually not wrong. Zeus, the Third Generation God-King, is actually very average, completely different from me and Kronos, who secured the position of God-King by strength."

Sebastian Shaw: [smiling] "I also found some news about him, which is really interesting! Zeus's father is the Second Generation God-King Kronos, who belongs to the Twelve Titans. It can be said that the Twelve Titans are his power base."

Uranus: "The Twelve Titans are my children, and Kronos is one of them, and the youngest among them. When Zeus wanted to replace Kronos, they all helped Kronos at the beginning. Later, four of the Titans betrayed Kronos and helped Zeus's forces win."

Irisviel von Einzbern: [speechlessly] "It can’t possibly be like Howard said… that Zeus slept his way into becoming the third-generation King of the Gods, right?"

Uranus: [awkwardly] "Well… that’s not the most polite way to put it. Let’s just say Zeus had exceptionally good luck—and a certain... charm. Not just with the goddesses, either."

Lucas: [with feeling] "Exactly! He’s basically the chosen one of Greek mythology—the original white lotus Long Aotian."

Liu Xing: [stunned] "Long Aotian? I know that name! Wait—Zeus was really that obsessed with women?"
{Maybe from Emperor Domination}

Lucas: [laughing] "What do you think? Among the Twelve Titans, two goddesses fell for him and joined his harem. And from two Titan couples, their daughters ended up siding with Zeus after getting involved with him. He didn’t just win battles—he flipped alliances with charm."

Howard Stark: [shaking his head] "That kind of ridiculous luck… it's just not fair."

Uranus: "Exactly. The Twelve Titans weren’t any weaker than Zeus in terms of power. I still can’t figure out how he managed to charm both of my daughters into not only falling for him but actually helping him rise to power in peace."

Thomas Wayne: [speechlessly] "And your granddaughters too—their logic circuits must be completely scrambled. They’re perfectly content sharing one husband, supporting Zeus like it’s some divine mission. They even convinced their parents it was a good idea. It’s absolutely insane."

Lucas: [with feeling] "That’s why I keep saying—he’s the ultimate Long Aotian. Winning the world through sisters is textbook Long Aotian behavior. No jealousy, no drama—they coexist in harmony and give him their full support. That kind of treatment? Long Aotian privilege."

Lucas: "And let’s not forget those two Titan couples who sided with Zeus—just because their daughters were involved with him. I can’t even call it marriage. Their daughters were so smitten, the parents actually turned on Kronos and backed Zeus out of love-struck loyalty."

Dongfang Yuechu: "That’s just absurd. Isn’t that the moment you’re supposed to step in and discipline your daughters? But no—they watched their daughters share a man with other women and thought, ‘Yeah, we’ll support that.’ Completely unreasonable."

Uranus: "Maybe Gaia played a role? After all, the conflict between Zeus and Kronos was really a continuation of the power struggle between Kronos and Gaia. Those Titans might've been taking Gaia’s side by backing Zeus."

Lucas: "But at that point, Zeus and his brothers hadn’t even decided who would become King of the Gods. There was no need to gamble on him specifically. And even if they were choosing sides… using that as the reason? It’s just bizarre!"

Han Fei: "Long Aotian is awesome!"

Tatsumi: "Long Aotian is awesome!"

Senju Hashirama: " Long Aotian is awesome!"

Golden Lion Shiki: " Long Aotian is awesome!"

Howard Stark: " Long Aotian is awesome!"

Cosmic Overlord Boros: " Long Aotian is awesome!"

Lucas: "To be honest, I envy people with this kind of destiny. But since Zeus became the King of Gods, his luck has almost disappeared."

Howard Stark: "His luck disappeared? Indeed! Since he made Hera the queen, his harmonious harem has gone."

Miyano Atsushi: "Hera? That woman is notoriously jealous, and she caused a lot of misfortune to Zeus's lovers!"

Sebastian Shaw: "I really don't know what Zeus was thinking, letting that kind of woman be the Queen . Would a person who has that kind of luck do such a thing?"

Lucas: "Who knows? Maybe this is just his true level—he picked the wrong diva and shattered the harmony of his Crystal Palace forever."

Uranus: "Hera? She’s also a daughter of Kronos. The Group Leader—Zeus—holds the divine authority over marriage. Those with that authority can share in the power of their partner. Perhaps that’s why he made her Queen of Heaven—it was a strategic choice, not just personal."

Sebastian Shaw: "The authority of the God of War can be passed on, so why not the authority over marriage? Still, I can’t help thinking Zeus wasn’t in his right mind when he made that decision."

Howard Stark: "Or maybe there’s another explanation: they’re all the same. The Olympian gods are dramatic by nature, and their jealousy far exceeds anything you’d see in humans."

Howard Stark: "Even in Greek mythology, jealousy and vanity run deep—even in goddesses like Athena, who are seen as wise and noble. If it hadn’t been Hera, another goddess would’ve stirred up just as much chaos once Zeus became King of the Gods."

Lucas: "There is indeed such a possibility! There are many who can only share hardships, but cannot share prosperity. Maybe those goddesses could get along peacefully during Zeus's rise to power, but they started fighting after the overall situation was settled. However, when this happens, it only shows that his heavenly luck is already unstable. Long Aotian would never encounter such troubles—his harem must be obedient, sensible, and considerate."

Thomas Wayne: "I have to say that Hera is indeed a very ferocious woman. In Zeus's harem, many were killed by Hera. Zeus couldn't do anything about it, and he couldn't control Hera. Is this the price of losing his heavenly luck?"

Lucas: "Of course! What's the meaning of heavenly luck? But Zeus is indeed ruthless, watching Hera persecute his former lovers."

Howard Stark: "That's typical Zeus for you. The guy was ruthless. To avoid the prophecy of being overthrown by his own child, he literally swallowed the one fated to do it."

Uranus: [speechlessly] "Seriously? His own father, Kronos, did the exact same thing. You’d think he’d have learned it doesn’t work."

Thomas Wayne: [sighing] "It’s even worse this time. Kronos swallowed his children after they were born. Zeus went a step further—he ate his pregnant wife. Poor Metis... the goddess of wisdom who helped him become King of the Gods, only to end up devoured for her loyalty."

Sebastian Shaw: [sneering] "Some 'goddess of wisdom' she turned out to be. If she couldn’t see the kind of man she was backing, then she paid the price for her poor judgment."

Whitebeard, Namikaze Minato, Senju Tobirama, and Dongfang Yuechu were silent, as they felt that they had learned a lot about identifying and employing the right people.

Pirate King Roger: "It's the fault of heavenly luck. Otherwise, how could Metis, the goddess of wisdom, choose Zeus? At that time, it wasn't Metis, the goddess of wisdom, who chose to assist Zeus, but the heavenly luck choosing her."

Sword God Ryuma: "Indeed! If Metis chose the wrong person, it's one thing, but if a group of people chose the wrong one, it would be very problematic."

Dongfang Yuechu: "Group Leader, in the original timeline, did the shadow foxes from outside the circle ever launch a large-scale invasion into the inner world?"

Lucas: [curiously] "Wait, the shadow foxes from outside actually invaded the world inside the circle? When did that happen?"

Xiao Xuan: [puzzled] "Inside the circle? Outside the circle? What does that even mean?"

Lucas: [explaining] "In the world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker, shadow foxes are powerful beings. They feed off emotions to grow stronger—and worse, they can manipulate and control others."

Zheng Qizi: "That sounds like demons to me. Shouldn’t they just be eliminated on sight?"

Lucas: "Problem is, even when the Taoist priests and the demon clans join forces, they still can’t defeat the shadow foxes. The only reason they haven’t taken over the entire Fox Spirit World is because of one individual—Aolai Country’s Third Young Master."

Lucas: "That Third Young Master came from Aolai and drew a boundary within the Fox Spirit World—an invisible circle that forced the shadow foxes to remain outside, barred from entering the inner world. Still, every now and then, a few would manage to sneak through... and back then, it was almost impossible to stop them."

Liu Xing: [speechlessly] "So the Third Young Master from Aolai Country drew a circle to keep the shadow foxes out? That sounds a lot like the Monkey King from Journey to the West."

Lucas: "There are many figures like the Monkey King throughout heaven and earth. The Third Young Master of Aolai may resemble him in some ways, but he’s not the real Monkey King."

Dongfang Yuechu: "The Group Leader's right! In the past, only one or two shadow foxes tried to sneak into the inner world, and even then, we had garrisons stationed along the boundary between the inner and outer circles to guard against them."

Howard Stark: "And now? You’re saying there’s a whole swarm coming in and you can’t hold them off?"

Dongfang Yuechu: "Exactly. A large number of shadow foxes are attempting to cross over one after another. It’s probably a calculated probe from the shadow foxes outside the circle—or maybe even a direct challenge aimed at the Third Young Master of Aolai."

Senju Hashirama: "You can’t stop them?"

Dongfang Yuechu: [helplessly] "No. There's a major strength gap between us. And with the casualties from the last Royal Power Hegemony conflict, our younger generation of Taoist Masters is already weakened."

Lucas: "Don’t worry. I’ll take a look at the situation myself."

Chapter 264: Her Two Younger Sisters Are Pretty Good!

At the boundary between the inner and outer circles, the atmosphere was tense.

Dongfang Yuechu, leading the Taoist priests of the One Qi Dao League, stood side by side with Tu Shan Honghong and the Fox Spirits of Tushan. Together, they prepared to defend against the incoming wave of shadow foxes from beyond the circle.

Ever since Lucas informed him of Tu Shan Honghong’s desire to coexist peacefully with humans, Dongfang Yuechu had gone to great lengths to promote harmony between the two races. Thanks to his efforts and Tu Shan Honghong’s support, the One Qi Dao League and Tushan Fox Spirits were able to join forces. Yet it wasn’t just diplomacy—this alliance was also born of necessity. The growing threat of the shadow foxes pressing in from outside the circle had forced former rivals into unity.

But just as their combined forces were on the verge of collapse, a surge of flame lit up the sky.

Lucas stepped out of the void, his figure appearing as if woven from light itself. With a casual wave of his hand, a torrent of black and white flames surged forth, spiraling with strange energy and devouring the sky-darkening swarm of shadow foxes in an instant. The creatures shrieked and vanished into nothingness.

“Lord Lucas!”

Dongfang Yuechu breathed a deep sigh of relief. He immediately stepped forward, bowing along with the others in greeting.

Lucas glanced over the battlefield calmly. “I think I understand why the shadow foxes are attacking now. Don’t worry—I'll take care of it.”

With a faint smile, he looked briefly at the Tushan Fox Spirits before vanishing once more.

In the Chat Group:

Howard Stark: [curiously] “That red-robed one is Tu Shan Honghong, right? I remember the Group Leader mentioned her before… wasn’t he completely uninterested in her?”

Sebastian Shaw: "I think I get it now. Tu Shan Honghong hasn't changed her expression once since Dongfang Yuechu started the livestream. She’s practically frozen."

Sword God Ryuma: "Group Leader said she accidentally killed a young Taoist who once saved her. Since then, she stopped speaking. I thought that meant she just gave up talking—but apparently, she even froze her expression."

Thomas Wayne: "She still has expressions, but they’re mostly neutral. If I recall correctly, isn’t Dongfang Yuechu’s grandson involved with this Fox Spirit?"

Lucas: "Yep. In the original timeline, Dongfang Yuechu’s youngest daughter’s son ended up with Tu Shan Honghong."

Dongfang Yuechu: [sighing] "Love between species… Tu Shan Honghong’s probably older than I am. Thankfully, the Tushan clan has the ability to renew and traverse time. Otherwise, this would’ve been a straight-up tragedy."*

Howard Stark: [curiously] "I’m just wondering—how did she even fall for a kid? She seems so emotionally distant."

Lucas: "It started when she accidentally killed a little Taoist who tried to protect her. That guilt turned into unspoken love. Later, Dongfang Yuechu’s grandson, Dongfang Yueyue, fled to Tushan territory to escape Taoist priests… who, by the way, were chasing him because they wanted him to be their father-in-law."

Dongfang Yuechu: "..."

Xiao Xuan: [stunned] "Wait, what?"

Howard Stark: "The women in the Dongfang family can pass down their spiritual power to their children. The Taoist priests wanted Dongfang Yueyue to father a whole new generation of daughters to strengthen their sects."

Sebastian Shaw: "Exactly. His daughters would inherit both spiritual power and the pure Yang Flame from the Dongfang bloodline. No wonder they wanted him."

Lucas: "So he escaped into Tushan territory and ended up falling for Tu Shan Honghong at first sight. From there, he began his pursuit of her."

Dongfang Yuechu: [speechlessly] "After all that trouble, he didn’t focus on training… he went chasing a Fox Spirit instead?"

Lucas: [helplessly] "Pretty much. Love stories between humans and demons are common here, but this one? It started with love at first sight and just kept going. And back then, Dongfang Yueyue was still really young—like a teenage talisman-user who understood arrays, but not romance."*

Dongfang Yuechu: "So what happened?"

Lucas: "A group of Taoist priests entered the Tushan territory trying to capture him. Tu Shan Honghong personally went out and captured them instead. Dongfang Yueyue gained her favor by restoring the magical tools seized from those captives, and that earned him long-term residence with the Tushan clan."

Dongfang Yuechu: [thinking] "Maybe it was Tu Shan Honghong’s strength that impressed him. She’s the backbone of the Tushan clan—probably the only one who can really fight."*

Lucas: [pondering] "That makes sense. Most human-demon romances in this world start with the classic 'hero saves beauty.' In this case, it was more like 'beauty saves hero'—and that flipped everything."*

Sebastian Shaw: "I’ve got another theory. Maybe he just didn’t want to work hard anymore after seeing how powerful she was."

Han Fei: "Relying on a strong woman? Honestly, it checks out."

Lucas: "When you meet a good person, you start a family. When you meet someone noble, you build a legacy. But when you meet a rich and powerful woman—you start a family and a business. Tu Shan Honghong isn't just strong, she's the leader of the Tushan clan. In the Fox Spirit World, she’s one of the top figures."

Dongfang Yuechu frowned. “Are you saying Dongfang Yueyue really relied on her? The descendants of the Dongfang family aren't that weak.”

Lucas: “That’s right! With the spells he learned from the Tushan Fox Clan and the magical power inherited from his mother, Dongfang Yueyue later became the number one Taoist in the world. He returned triumphant, hunting shadow foxes outside the circle like it was nothing.”

Irisviel von Einzbern: [speechlessly] “So after all that... the reason the Group Leader isn’t interested in Tu Shan Honghong is just because she’s expressionless?”

Lucas: “Isn’t that a perfectly good reason? If I were Dongfang Yueyue, I wouldn’t have chased Tu Shan Honghong either. Doesn’t she have two younger sisters? Both of them are pretty great.”

One was a mischievous little loli with a fierce streak—cute as a child, but a cold queen once grown. Sadly, she too would become expressionless in the future... though thankfully, that fate hadn't arrived yet. There was still a chance to change it.

The other was a wide-eyed girl with a thousand faces, capable of transforming into anyone. Like a softer, prettier version of Mystique—without the off-putting alien figure. A true shapeshifting beauty.

Senju Tobirama: [speechlessly] “As expected... the Group Leader hasn’t changed one bit.”

Lucas: [grinning] “Of course not. I’m still the same boy I used to be!”

Just as the chat group collectively facepalmed, Lucas, in the outside world, arrived at a mysterious island.

Aolai Country, Huaguo Mountain—

The area surrounding Aolai Country pulsed with spiritual pressure. Several powerful figures floated around the sky, maintaining a massive formation that completely sealed off the land below. A translucent energy shield covered the entire country.

Within the formation, a man radiating golden light stood firm, wielding a gleaming golden staff as he struck the barrier repeatedly, trying to shatter the seal.

“Third Young Master, give it up.”
“Even if you break the formation, what then?”
“By the time you manage that, we’ll already be finished here.”
“Why waste strength? Let’s all just stay calm and save ourselves some trouble.”

Hovering just beyond the formation, a plump middle-aged man with the aura of a wealthy merchant smiled down at the Third Young Master of Aolai Country, speaking with fake kindness.

Traverser?

Lucas's eyes sharpened. He had arrived just in time—and already encountered a group of r traversers interfering with this world.

BOOM!

Without hesitation, Lucas raised his palm. From between his fingers surged a searing flame beam, cutting through the air like divine judgment. The beam tore toward the traversers holding the formation.

“Who’s there?!”

The Traversers sensed danger and scrambled to defend themselves, conjuring shields and barriers of all kinds.

But it was useless.

Under the crushing force of Lucas’s flames, their defenses melted like wax under a torch. The beam cut through them cleanly, incinerating their bodies into ash.

“Congratulations to Host for successfully killing four Traversers. Four Traverser Seals obtained.”

The system’s calm prompt echoed in Lucas’s mind, but his face remained cold and unreadable.

BOOM!

With the death of the four traversers, the formation collapsed. The Third Young Master of Aolai Country struck one final blow and shattered the remaining barrier. His golden figure now floated before Lucas, eyes wary.

“Who are you?”

The Third Young Master eyed him cautiously. He had once traveled to the world of the Fox Spirits, but Lucas was a complete unknown—and the four Traversers were strangers as well. Their sudden appearance and overwhelming power made him uneasy.

Lucas: “Relax. I’m not your enemy—and I won’t bring harm to this world.”

Without waiting for further questions, Lucas vanished from sight.

He reappeared in the region known as “outside the circle,” a place long sealed off by the Third Young Master of Aolai Country. It was the birthplace and haven of the shadow foxes—creatures that fed on emotions and sought to control the Fox Spirit World.

At that moment, deep in their territory, the Shadow Fox Empress was locked in conversation with a traverser.

The traverser's mission was clear: assist the Shadow foxes in breaching the circle and claiming the inner world. In return, the Shadow Fox Empress would lend her power to push back the forces of Aolai.

As with the Traversers in the Pirate World, they had no intention of cleaning up their mess. After trapping the Third Young Master and aiding the invasion, they planned to escape immediately—leaving the Fox Spirit World in chaos. Whether the Third Young Master eventually killed the Shadow Fox Empress or not was none of their concern.

Chapter 265: The Brutal Evil Heretics

The Shadow Fox Empress was no fool. Despite the Traversers' promises to handle the Third Young Master of Aolai Country, she recognized the danger and refused their proposal to allow the shadow foxes to invade. Skeptical of their assurances, she demanded they eliminate the Third Young Master first. Meanwhile, she continued sending shadow foxes to test the circle, hoping to assess what had truly happened to her adversary.

"Got you!"

A faint voice suddenly interrupted her argument with the traverser. The Shadow Fox Empress's cave entrance opened without warning.

"Who's there?" she demanded, shocked that she hadn't detected anyone approaching.

The traverser appeared equally surprised. Could the Third Young Master of Aolai Country have found them? When they finally glimpsed the intruder, puzzlement crossed their faces. Where had such a powerful figure in the Fox Spirit World come from?

Lucas, however, had no interest in satisfying their curiosity. With a simple wave of his hand, he summoned the energy of heaven and earth. A massive energy palm materialized and slammed into both the Shadow Fox Empress and the Traverser, incapacitating them instantly.

"Congratulations to Host for killing the Traverser and acquiring a Traverser Seal," announced the system.

In the chat group:

Dongfang Yuechu: "Group Leader, the Third Young Master of Aolai Country has arrived. He's already dealt with the shadow foxes that were attempting to breach the circle."

Lucas: "Excellent! It seems the situation is under control. As long as there are no more unauthorized entities like transmigrators or Traversers in your world, there shouldn't be any major disruptions."

Han Fei: "Group Leader, the Third Young Master is also cultivating spiritually in the Fox Spirit World, correct? Could my current techniques eventually reach his level?"

Lucas: "Yes, they're sufficient! But don't worry about it too much. Both the Dou qi Continent and the Yang God World have methods for soul cultivation. The Yang God World, in particular, specializes in soul cultivation techniques."

Zheng Qizi: "That's right! In our Yang God World, cultivation follows two primary paths: martial arts to strengthen the body, and immortal techniques to strengthen the soul. Master the latter to its ultimate level, and you can become a Yang God."

Han Fei: "How powerful is a Yang God exactly?"

Zheng Qizi: "The Yang God World hasn't witnessed a true Yang God in many years, so their full potential remains unknown. But when a Yang God powerhouse dies, their soul contains enough energy to evolve into a Middle Thousand World."

Howard Stark: "What exactly is a Middle Thousand World?"

Lucas: "It's a planet. According to the Yang God World's classification, Earth itself is considered a Middle Thousand World."

Liu Xing: "A planet can evolve after death? Then a Yang God must possess at least enough power to destroy a star."

Han Fei: "Group Leader, can I practice the Yang God World's soul techniques in my current state?"

Lucas: "Of course!"

Zheng Qizi: "Yang God World soul cultivation typically requires a physical body as its foundation. Even with the chat group's special soul attributes, would it work properly?"

Lucas: "Don't worry, there won't be any issues. You're overthinking it. Give me the pass to the Yang God World, and I'll check what time period it's currently in."

After their time together, Zheng Qizi had developed trust in Lucas and handed over his Yang God World Pass.

Zheng Qizi: "Before my death, I was fighting in a war between good and evil. I want to know the outcome. If the evil demons emerged victorious, I hope the Group Leader can help eliminate them."

Dongfang Yuechu: "Evil demons?"

Zheng Qizi: "Yes! Their ferocity exceeds anything you could imagine. They use children's blood and souls for their magic arts, committing countless murders to enhance their power."

Lucas: "I can confirm this. The evil demons of the Yang God World surpass all others in brutality—whether we're talking about Thanos, Shadow foxes, Celestial Dragons, or conventional demons."

Howard Stark: "That can't be right. Thanos wanted to wipe out half the universe's population! He massacres half of planets during conquests!"

Lucas: "Thanos might have a higher body count, but he's completely outmatched in cruelty. His killing is instantaneous—one snap. The evil demons, however, specialize in torture."

Zheng Qizi: "I can testify that their brutality defies comprehension. Many evil sects require souls filled with resentment for their cultivation. After capturing victims, they inflict maximum suffering, ensuring they die with endless pain and bitterness..."

Thomas Wayne: "That's utterly inhuman!"

Dongfang Yuechu: "Indeed! Compared to them, the shadow foxes barely qualify as threats."

Fisher Tiger: "Same for the Celestial Dragons! They may not consider slaves human, but they haven't descended to such depravity."

Liu Xing: "I believe it now. Among all our worlds, the Yang God World's demons are the most savage. But in terms of sheer kill count, Thanos remains unmatched, right?"

Lucas: "More or less. The evil heretics of the Yang God World, Muir V from the Stealing Star World, and Hun Tian from the Dou qi Continent—despite their substantial death tolls—still fall short of Thanos's numbers."

Xiao Xuan: "Muir V and Hun Tian?"

Lucas: "Correct. Muir V slaughtered over half of Earth to refine the body of gods, while Hun Tian sacrificed most of the Central Plains population to transform the Emperor Grade Pill into the true Emperor Elixir. Many perished by their hands."

Liu Xing: "But those killed by Muir V were resurrected by the True God Jiuyue using time manipulation, weren't they?"

Lucas: "Yes, but Hun Tian's victims faced a different fate. They were converted into energy to fuel his advancement to Dou Di status—a permanent and irreversible process."

Xiao Xuan: "It doesn't matter. None of this has happened yet."

In the outside world:

Lucas activated the Yang God World Pass and transported himself to the center of the Yang God World—the realm known as the Great Thousand World. He materialized above a vast ocean, allowing chat group members to observe this strange new environment through his perception.

Xiao Xuan: "What an enormous world! Is it larger than the Dou qi Continent?"

Lucas: "Absolutely. The Yang God World is even more expansive, particularly this Great Thousand World section, known as the Immortal World. Both martial arts and immortal techniques have their limits—flesh may shatter the vacuum, and soul might become a Yang God—but no one truly knows how vast the Great Thousand World actually is."

Xiao Xuan: "Between the Yang God World and the Dou qi Continent, which is more advanced? Which is larger? Surely the Dou qi Continent isn't inferior!"

Lucas: "You misunderstand. The Dou qi Continent definitely covers more territory than the Yang God World, without question. @Zheng Qizi, do you know the route? Tell me where to find the battlefield of the good versus evil war."

Zheng Qizi: "You don't know? Group Leader seems omniscient—I assumed you'd know our battlefield's location!"

Lucas: "I know it's in the Abyss of Nine Regions, but not how to get there. Just like I know Emperor Tuo She's cave is in Black Corner Region, but not how to reach Black Corner Region."

Zheng Qizi: "I understand. Let me come out and guide you, Group Leader! Though the Great Thousand World is vast, those of us who live here have our methods of navigation."

Lucas: "Excellent. I'll summon you now."

Lucas called forth Zheng Qizi's soul into the physical world, where he marveled at his new condition.

"Incredible! During my lifetime, I could separate my soul from my body, but this state feels completely different."

Zheng Qizi twisted his palm, watching in amazement as qi and blood power emanated from his soul.

"I can use martial arts qi and blood even in soul form? And this energy isn't even derived from soul power."

Lucas: "Not surprising. Xiao Xuan can use Dou Qi in soul state as well. You share the same condition as Traversers—you can utilize whatever abilities exist in your attributes."

Pirate King Roger: "This feels familiar. Isn't this similar to the Group Leader's skills? Despite possessing numerous Devil Fruit abilities, he doesn't actually use Devil Fruit power."

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! Correct! Group Leader acquired our Devil Fruit abilities through the chat group's red envelope and attribute systems. He enjoys all the benefits without any of the weaknesses, while maintaining compatibility with various powers."

Fire Fist Ace: "Because to him, these are attribute skills. The souls summoned by Group Leader appear to function similarly. Traversers share this characteristic too."

Senju Tobirama: "Indeed. Masters without Chakra can use ninjutsu as a skill, just as traverser can. The ninjutsu they purchase with Traverser coins functions without requiring any Chakra."

Zheng Qizi: "This is excellent news. The only limitation is the inability to use physical strengthening methods to increase power!"
