Shared Talent: Traveling through a hundred worlds simultaneously

Hao Ren returned home dejectedly, feeling as if half of his soul had been ripped away.

He had just endured hours of mental torture in Raven 12345's office, a place filled with neurotic and violent aesthetics.

His superior, with his long, straight silver hair, berated him mercilessly using various technical terms that he didn't understand but felt were impressive. Then, without further ado, he shoved a bunch of task instructions and equipment that were clearly beyond the beginner's level, and finally shooed him out like a fly, claiming that "efficiency is life."

As soon as he entered, Hao Ren felt like he had found his people. He plopped down on the sofa next to Su Chen and began his tearful and impassioned accusation.

"Brother Su! You have no idea how outrageous that crazy woman is!" Hao Ren pounded his chest and stamped his feet.

"At first I thought the Xiling Empire was some kind of high-class, mysterious cosmic management organization! But they sent me a boss like this! My future is bleak! I'm just an ordinary citizen who just wants to collect rent peacefully, why should I have to endure this?"

Even if we absolutely must deal with these matters, couldn't you send a more competent leader? Like someone like you, Brother Su!

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, as if he had signed not an employee contract, but a contract of servitude.

"Fortunately...fortunately, Brother Su is here." Hao Ren changed the subject, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Su Chen.

"You not only pay the rent on time (and you're incredibly generous), which has improved our family's standard of living, but you also help me keep those two ticking time bombs, Lily and Vivian, in check... You're truly the only light in my dark working life!"

Listening to Hao Ren's complaints, Su Chen slowly took a sip of water and smiled, "Calm down, that's how it is when you're working."

Having an eccentric boss is the norm; you get used to it. At least, the tasks she assigns can be treated as a company-funded trip, right?

Mentioning the mission, Hao Ren's face fell again: "Yes, a business trip paid by the government... to the former 'Empire on which the sun never sets' to pick up a new tenant. Hopefully, this one will be normal..." He expressed deep doubt about it.

As Su Chen had predicted, the journey was filled with all sorts of hilarious and chaotic moments.

Sitting on the plane, the Xiling Empire reimbursed my first-class ticket; this was probably the Raven's only act of kindness.

Vivian gazed at the clouds outside the window, perhaps stirred by the scene, and began to reminisce about her "glorious past"—attending aristocratic salons, witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties, and owning countless castles and treasures…

While flipping through the magazine, Su Chen teased without looking up, "Oh? Such a glorious past, how come you can't even afford a decent glass of red wine now, and are always thinking about Hao Ren's meager salary balance?"

One sentence hits the bullseye perfectly!

Vivian's face flushed red instantly, all the way to her ears, just like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

She immediately switched into "Kong Yiji" mode, stammering, her eyes darting around, and began quoting classical texts, interspersed with various archaic phrases:
"Alas... Heaven and earth are but an inn for all things... Time is but a passing guest for a hundred generations... Wealth is but an external thing, its gathering and scattering are impermanent, this is the way of Heaven... The events of the past were but trivial matters, occasional oversights, which led to... which led to... This was all due to bad luck and misfortune, not the fault of war!"

Her eagerness to explain, which only made things worse, amused Lily, who burst into laughter and added insult to injury: "Hahaha! The poor vampire is starting to chant sutras again! The big boss is right, you've squandered your entire fortune!"

Strangely enough, during this journey, Lily and Vivian, who initially disliked each other, formed a bizarre unity by "sharing" Su Chen's teasing and Hao Ren's onlookers—of course, it was based on the principle that "whoever the big boss teases, we'll laugh along with them."

Su Chen seemed to have become the core of this small team. As soon as he spoke, the other two immediately turned their guns on him and united against the outside world, the one who was jokingly called "the inside".

After all, wouldn't it be a huge loss if we didn't take advantage of the big boss's lead and "kick him when he's down" to those who usually annoy us?

Seeing this chaotic scene, Hao Ren felt much of his frustration dissipate.

Although the boss is unreliable and the tasks are troublesome, at least this trip... isn't boring.

Finally, they arrived at their destination safely.

Perhaps because Su Chen was there as a "stabilizing force," the negotiation process went unexpectedly smoothly.

They encountered no significant obstacles, nor did they engage in any thrilling battles.

The only minor incident was encountering a guy who claimed to be an exorcist, but he was clearly just a half-baked one. He stumbled over his incantations while holding a crucifix, and when Lily bared her teeth at him, he was so frightened that he scrambled away and disappeared.

"That's it?" Lily flicked her tail dismissively. "I thought we were going to have a good fight."

"Wouldn't it be better to resolve this peacefully?" Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't want to cause any big news in a foreign country.

Meanwhile, Vivian approached Su Chen to discuss whether he could tease her less and the big dog more in the future.

Su Chen was very interested in this, thinking that if he wanted to do it, he should at least show some sincerity.

Poor Vivian, she still thought it was a bribe from humans.

So they had no choice but to take out some of her strange and unusual things in an attempt to bribe this unfathomable and mysterious big shot.

Su Chen was speechless and bluntly stated that he wanted to engage in unspoken rules.

Vivian was stunned for several seconds before she reacted. The unspoken rule she heard was just as shocking as she had imagined. She exclaimed, "Boss, what kind of creature are you?"
Su Chen honestly answered that he was human.

Vivian looked incredulous, stating that she was a vampire and that vampires couldn't be with other creatures.

Su Chen offered even more money, and Vivian quickly waved her hand, trying to control herself and not be tempted.

But the body is honest; the eyes are fixed on what it wants.

However, she has always been a woman of principle, selling her art but not her body. Although she doesn't know what kind of being the big shot is, she feels that he is definitely not of the same race as her.

She couldn't accept it. The thought that beneath the big boss's human skin lay an unknown creature was something she couldn't bear.

In the hall.

"This lazy bum, ugh, this newbie is a real lazy bum, still dawdling around here with everyone else."

"If it were me, Vivian would have already become the shape I wanted, instead of being like this."

"Aside from being a little bit eccentric, Vivian is really beautiful with a strong wife vibe."

While exchanging ideas, they also paid attention to recent newcomers, including a newcomer from the TV show "The Young Swordsman" who returned to their homeland from overseas.

It was an ordinary afternoon.

Under the bright sunshine, the world of martial arts continues to operate along its inherent trajectory—the pursuit of fame and fortune, and the entanglements of love and hate.

Lei Wujie was rushing excitedly towards Snow Moon City, Xiao Se was calculating with an abacus by the window of Snowfall Manor, having no interest in meditating on Buddhist principles in the golden coffin, Tian Nu Rui was waiting for her young man, and Li Hanyi was practicing swordsmanship in Cangshan Mountain...

However, in the very next instant...

God, things have changed.

It's not about dark clouds and thunder and lightning, but a more fundamental change.

In the eastern sky, endless clear light bursts forth, and thousands of rays of light and auspicious colors paint the entire sky into a flowing, crystal-clear fairyland.

The sea of ​​clouds surged, not moved by the wind, but in worship—spontaneously rotating and converging toward a suddenly appearing entity.

Then, he appeared. Not by walking step by step, but by existing there as a concept itself.

A magnificent statue, towering ten thousand feet tall, stands between the sea and the sky.

The Dharma Image's face was blurred in the endless light of the Dao, and no one could see it clearly, yet every living being who looked up at it knew clearly from the depths of their soul—that was him, the true immortal from the overseas immortal island!
He wore a Taoist robe formed from the natural flow and condensation of Yin and Yang energies. There was no terrifying aura or oppressive force around him, only a vast, boundless, tranquil and profound feeling, as if the Great Dao itself had personally descended upon him.

The sea beneath his feet was calm and mirror-like, reflecting his image and forming a giant Tai Chi diagram that covered the heavens and the earth, slowly rotating.

Each rotation resonated with the laws of heaven and earth, causing plants to bow low and beasts to fall silent. The true energy within all martial artists became docile and still at this moment, as if submitting to a higher being.

The martial arts world fell into a deathly silence.

As snow fell on the mountain villa, Xiao Se's fingers, which were fiddling with the abacus, suddenly froze.

He suddenly looked up at the window, and for the first time, his usually nonchalant eyes were filled with incomprehensible shock and... a hint of bewilderment as if the game had been completely overturned.

Tang Lian tightened the reins, looked up at the sky, and forgot to breathe.

The golden coffin in his arms seemed to have lost all its mystery at this moment.

Outside Hanshui Temple, the lid of the golden coffin was slightly ajar, and Wuxin's eerie eyes peered at the sky through the crack.

He forgot to escape, only murmuring softly, his voice filled with unprecedented amazement and fervor: "May Buddha have mercy... So there really are immortals in this world..."

On Mount Cang, the tip of the sword of Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi trembled slightly, not out of fear, but out of an instinctive tremor of the sword heart in the face of the vast power of heaven, and... a trace of an unprecedented desire to challenge that had been ignited.

In Tianqi City, the armillary sphere of the Imperial Observatory spun wildly, eventually cracking open with a soft hum.

The emperor, deep within the palace, opened the window, his face as solemn as still water.

At this moment, all of humanity, whether royalty or commoners, whether martial arts masters or ordinary citizens, raised their heads in unison.

Without any verbal explanation, a sense of understanding originating from the very source of life floods into everyone's heart like a tide.

he came.

That legendary immortal, residing overseas, who commanded the world and created countless legends...

Has come.

The golden coffin that once stirred up the martial arts world, the undercurrents of the struggle for the throne, all the conspiracies and schemes, all seem so laughable and so insignificant at this moment.

Before a being that truly transcends the mortal realm, all the major events of humankind become insignificant dust.

In the stillness of the night, when all was silent and everyone held their breath, a gentle yet incredibly clear voice, as if resounding directly in the depths of everyone's soul, spread throughout the land and sea, covering every corner.

"I am Su Chen."

"Three days later, the Great Dao will be expounded in Snowmoon City."

"Anyone who is destined to listen is welcome to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous Dharma image slowly dissipated, and the strange phenomena in the sky receded like a tide, restoring the sky to its azure blue, as if nothing had ever happened.

But the world of martial arts has completely changed.

After a brief period of deathly silence came an unprecedented madness that swept across the entire world!

All goals, all plans, all routes were forcibly unified, reversed, and overridden at this moment!
Lei Wujie abruptly turned his horse around, his eyes burning with pure excitement and longing: "To Snowmoon City! Quickly!"

Xiao Se closed the ledger, took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light. His long-silent heart seemed to have been hit by a boulder.

Wu Xin pushed the coffin lid open completely, looked in the direction of Snow Moon City, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Countless reclusive old monsters, sect leaders, chivalrous heroes of the martial world, and even imperial spies, as if they had heard the final call, spared no expense and used all means to flock to the same destination—Snow Moon City!

The old world of martial arts ended the moment the Dharma manifestation appeared.

A brand new legend, initiated by the teachings of a true immortal, is about to unfold, accompanied by countless footsteps heading towards Snowmoon City.

Snow Moon City.

Snowmoon City instantly became the eye of the storm, which was both an unparalleled glory and a tremendous test.

Baili Dongjun put down the brewing pot, his eyes regaining the sharpness of his former "wine immortal" days; perhaps he was deep in thought.

Is the arrival of such figures a divine destiny or a heavenly tribulation?
Sikong Changfeng faced immense management pressure. He had to mobilize all his resources to maintain order and ensure that Snow Moon City would not collapse before spreading the word, amidst the encirclement of powerful figures.

"What kind of situation is this? A deity suddenly wants to come here."

Sikong Changfeng had a headache and was helpless. After all, that was the only true god in the world, and he knew without a doubt that he was no match for him.

Their entrance was far beyond what any martial arts expert could match; they were on completely different levels and styles.

Arena.

Faced with a destiny of immortality, no one can remain calm.

Xiao Se's heart was extremely complicated. The truth he had pursued all his life, the Langya King case, seemed insignificant in the face of "fate with immortals." However, he was also keenly aware that this might be the ultimate shortcut to the truth.

He wanted to ask the immortals in front of the whole world.

In the hall.

Su Chen, who was watching the newcomers perform, had a complicated expression on his face. This guy actually liked to show off in front of others.

"I hadn't thought about it, but we've done this kind of thing before. After all, a person isn't a true teenager if they're not a bit immature."

"Yes, yes, everyone wants to be different, so they like to use special abilities or things that are beyond their comprehension to show off in front of others and gain emotional value."

“Even I, a supreme being, have never done this.”

A newcomer who had just arrived in the hall said, "I was thinking that since I could be invincible at any time, it wasn't right to do this. I didn't expect that you guys had all done this before."

In that case, he would have to go back and pretend, and steal the spotlight from the original protagonist.

To hell with it! The law cannot be lightly passed on. (End of Chapter)
