    • Chapter 89: Arrival

      Chapter 89: Arrival Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Compared to the fanaticism of other Chaos Followers, Te’en’s faith was not devout. Te’en rarely wasted time praying, feeling that even if he prostrated and murmured day and night, the supreme being would not cast any glance upon him. He also rarely participated in the gatherings of other Chaos Followers. This not only wasted time but also energy, and in a dangerous place like the dark alley, if the City Guard Bureau attacked, he might die there. And so it was. Almost all…
    • Chapter 88: Burning Blood

      Chapter 88: Burning Blood Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Tania lay naked on the bed, staring up at the dimness above. As a Chaos Follower, Tania had always detested sunlight; it suppressed the chaotic power within her, scorching her skin and roasting her flesh. But ultimately, Tania was a Star Gazer from the Path of Destiny, not a pure Spawn of Evil. No matter how much she loathed sunlight, the human part of her heart always held a longing for bright, clear days. Moreover, ever since Tania returned to Heer…
    • Chapter 87 Happy Birthday

      Chapter 87 Happy Birthday Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Before night had fully covered the sky, Heer City's Beacon Lighthouse lit up ahead of schedule. Tons of soul marrow were fed into the combustion furnace, and through the repeated refraction of the beacon array, it transformed into a rising artificial sun, pushing back the encroaching gray mist beyond the high walls. From the murky night sky came a series of whimpering cries, as if flocks of strange birds were passing overhead. Immediately after, scorching explosions sounded in…
    • Chapter 86 Beautiful Moments

      Chapter 86 Beautiful Moments Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Dailin was a very strange person. You could say Dailin wasn't very accepting, as he easily imagined Sirian's identity in all sorts of strange ways. Yet, you could also say he was very accepting, because the moment Bruce spoke, he was so startled it was as if a swarm of cockroaches had crawled up his pants. If Sirian hadn't stopped Dailin in time, Dailin would have nearly punched Bruce in the head, further relieving its cranial…
    • Chapter 85: A Reason That Doesn’t Need a Reason

      Chapter 85: A Reason That Doesn’t Need a Reason Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Dailin couldn't quite grasp Sirian's series of morbid statements, but he was certain that Sirian was willing to fight The Formless One. This was good news. Sirian downed the last of the milk from the carton and asked, “Is Valerie’s regression in mental state also related to The Formless One?” “Most likely,” Dailin explained, “Every time we make progress in our operations against the Evil Claws, similar accidents occur, and all leads are cleanly…
    • Chapter 84: The Invisible One

      Chapter 84: The Invisible One Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Sirian had anticipated many possible developments, but he never expected Dailin to pinpoint his origin from White Cliff Town with a single sentence. Was it some mysterious power of destiny? It is said that some scholars in the Modian Society possess the ability to reverse the flow of time for objects, thereby recreating their past. It is through this method that scholars restore texts on damaged ancient books, bringing history submerged by time back into the world. Or perhaps…
    • Chapter 83: The Open Card

      Chapter 83: The Open Card Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Sirian gazed at the rising City-state, his eyes clouding over, his consciousness growing hazy. He slowly began to move, actually walking down the long staircase, intending to enter the City-state. Someone was calling him. No, it would be better to say that after a long millennium, someone had finally heard that call. “Damn it!” Sirian propped himself up with his remaining rationality, breaking through the haze. He first looked at the ouroboros seal; since it wasn't…
    • Chapter 82 Promotion

      Chapter 82 Promotion Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Finally, the day of Sirian's promotion arrived. It wasn't a particularly special day; Sirian simply woke up in a good mood, and the sun was bright with a clear sky. “What a nice day.” The warm sunlight hit his face, and Sirian thought of his past life. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Sirian chose to promote at home. He cleared out the living room, drew a ritual array, cooked Transcendent materials, and refined them into a potion. Bruce quietly…
    • Chapter 81 Plan

      Chapter 81 Plan Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 "Is that so?" Sirian re-examined Elton, not expecting him to think that way. "Whew..." Elton let out a long breath, forcing a smile. "Speaking of which, Sirian, you're a pretty good guy. I hope you live a long time." "I'll try." Elton had something on his mind, whether it was a remnant of that night or an old secret he'd kept hidden deep in his heart. Sirian didn't care; everyone had their own secrets, big or small. Through this conversation, he simply…
    • Chapter 80: Dumped

      Chapter 80: Dumped Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Valerie’s “death” significantly influenced Xili’an’s subsequent actions. He had initially thought the City Guard Bureau could follow Valerie’s lead and uproot the Evil Claws hidden in Heer City. Now, it seemed Xili’an’s enemies were not only lurking in dark alleys but also concealed within the City Guard Bureau itself. Xili’an rushed back to the City Guard Bureau, his hand constantly on his sword hilt, ready for it to be drawn at any…
