Every year, once the recorded annual meeting video is uploaded to Qile Video, the number of clicks is astonishing, reportedly reaching over a billion each time—surpassing even the viewership of some hit television dramas.
"If you do not trust me, Senior, do you perhaps not trust this imperial decree?" As Ling Yu spoke, he produced a purple-gold silk scroll from his hand.
Empress Xihe’s eyes flashed with anxiety. The Six Paths of Reincarnation disk behind her head whirled, expanding to a radius of ten thousand feet. It ascended gently to hover above Ji Tian, shedding a majestic divine light of reincarnation to help him resist the Buddha’s radiance.
"Go on your way now. I have lost count of how many people like you I killed back in the day." Heavenly Monarch Mo Xie wore a cold, mocking smile as he raised his war blade and pointed it toward Chen Qingdi.
Later, Grand Marshal Mo seemed to learn of this and scolded Young Hero Mo severely. He had thought this would kill the boy's aspirations, but he never expected him to remain so persistent.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueshen’s expression turned grim. She had never imagined that the entire Dragon-Protecting Clan was involved in such corruption.
The child’s aptitude was as ordinary as could be; he possessed no talent for cultivation whatsoever. Even with personal instruction, he would remain a mediocre practitioner at best.
Behind him, more and more people pursued, hoping to make this newcomer experience the same suffering they endured.
He frowned slightly. Is such a task truly that important? Sending a hero with even modest strength should suffice. Why did All Might need to be deployed?
After all, Mu Yuhan was the client. Her personal safety had to be ensured every day, and he naturally had to be extra vigilant.
These places still held a shred of memory in Li Jing’s mind. There used to be dozens of islands here, yet now, not a single one remained. In the airspace where the islands once stood, a thick, acrid smell of burning lingered, refusing to dissipate.
In a single exchange, the boss clearly suffered a heavy loss. It had lost thousands of health points before it could even unleash its power.

"To achieve great things, one must be willing to sacrifice!" Determination radiated from Lin Jieren’s eyes.
"Goodbye, handsome!" Liu Qian waved as well and logged off. The classmates behind her followed suit, surely rushing off to play the role of knights in shining armor.
One mountain cannot contain two tigers; one can only imagine the situation when dozens of giant dragons appear in a single place.
All the disciples suddenly felt a chill in their hearts—a boundless, icy cold that invaded their entire bodies, causing them all to collapse to the ground uncontrollably.
In the mountain range, Xiao Fei’s supernatural ability had manifested into ten thousand sword qi, pressing toward Jin Chan. These sword qi formed a massive circle, truly blotting out the sky.
"Then what do you want?" It was clear that these retainers were quite helpless; they likely couldn't bring him back successfully without yielding to his demands.
"You!" Apprentice Brother Yue was about to retort, but Guo Qingyang stopped him with a wave of his hand.
Still, it was a bountiful harvest. The ripe vegetables had to be picked, or they would bloom if left in the soil. How were they to eat all these vegetables?
Standing on the sidelines, Li Tie was filled with excitement, his eyes brimming with hot tears. It was as if he had returned to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. Back then, he was a player in the World Cup, a spirited Chinese footballer eager to showcase the power of Chinese football to the entire world.
However, while everyone’s attention was on Lei, no one noticed that Leslie, who had been leaning against the door frame in silence, had eyes subtly stained with a wisp of black mist.
In his letter, Zhang Ning mentioned something to Yuan Lang that thrilled him: the Black Mountain base had trained a reserve force of over thirty thousand for the Yellow Turban Army. As long as Changshan Commandery needed them, they could immediately dispatch a top general to lead them into battle.
Driven by a physical reflex, the Ghost-Faced Elder didn’t even think; he reached out and snatched the spirit stone.

Behind the screen, Yuan Lang heard the conversation between Yuan Shao and Han Fu with perfect clarity. Having received guidance from Feng Ji and Xu You, Yuan Shao spoke in circles, but he finally reached the point: gifting the sick horses to Pan Feng.
"No matter who Yun Qingzi chooses in the future, we shall remain friends." After saying this, Dongfang Jin could not help but reach out and take Zhao Chenyu’s hands.
And just as Charlotte said, it is precisely because of this imperfect flaw, precisely because of this heavy burden, that a knight gains blood-stained glory.
Because Qian Yuan knew very well that with the limited strength of the security division, if the Quicksand Nation truly wanted to take action, they would be unable to defend even if they tried—so they simply chose not to.
Tu Yujing nodded without declining. They were family, and acting overly polite was unnecessary. It was better to simply accept it; he would ensure they did not suffer any losses.
As Tantai Xiong recounted the story, the mysterious veil of the Great Qian was slowly lifted. King Chu realized that the Great Qian was by no means as simple as people imagined.
This proved that although Chen Qi had not reached the SSS rank, he remained the strongest in the world; Xiao Songxu, despite his SSS rank, still could not defeat Chen Qi.
Those with short tempers had already walked away; they were unwilling to wait here like fools. He was only a regional commander, after all, with no military power and an unstable position; there was nothing for them to worry about. Besides, gaining a foothold among them was not that simple.
As for why he was teleported to the eastern part of Cang Prefecture instead of outside the Tianji Holy Land, Lin Xiao was also deeply confused.
Lady Cui grumbled as she picked and chose, wanting to take everything because these were all such fine goods. The house had just been renovated, and she wanted to discard everything to get new items, but she had no money to do so. Now that there were ready-made things available at no cost, why shouldn’t she take them?
