Traveling Between Two Worlds: From Bread for Maids to Fantasy Overlord

Inside a cave in the Black Mang Mountains, Huang Yiming stared at the golden marks on Ling Xi and Yang Xiu's wrists, his eyes filled with solemnity and doubt. These marks of myriad realms shared the same origin as the system, the fragments of ancient time travel, and the mysterious jade pendant, clearly not a coincidence. Considering the pasts of the five women in the previous volume—the mysterious disappearance of Qin Yuling's family, the enigmatic origins of Zi Yao's Demonic Sect lineage, Su Qingyue's innate ability to resonate with modern technology, Ling Xi's status as the only Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, and Yang Xiu's mysterious healing power—all these signs indicated that the five women's backgrounds were inextricably linked to the myriad realms.

"Yiming, what is this mark? Why did it suddenly appear on us?" Yang Xiu gently stroked the mark on her wrist, her tone filled with doubt and unease. Ling Xi nodded as well, her eyes full of confusion: "This mark contains a rich aura of myriad realms, exactly the same as the aura of the jade pendant and the fragments. Moreover, I can sense that it is slowly awakening, as if guiding us to some place."

Huang Yiming held their hands, his tone gentle yet firm: "Don't be afraid. No matter what this mark is, no matter how mysterious your background is, I will always be with you and protect you. Once we defeat the Western Alliance, unify the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld, and ascend the throne, I will definitely find out your background and unlock the secrets of the Myriad Realms Mark."

Lingxi and Yang Xiu nodded, their unease gradually dissipating, their eyes filled with reliance and admiration as they looked at Huang Yiming. They knew that no matter what dangers they faced in the future, Huang Yiming would protect them, just as he had done countless times in the previous volumes, always stepping forward to shield them from the storm.

Afterwards, Huang Yiming returned to the Allied Forces camp with Ling tide and Yang Xiu. Qin Yuling, Zi Yao, and Su Qingyue were already waiting at the camp entrance. Upon seeing Huang Yiming, they immediately approached him. Qin Yuling asked with concern, "Yiming, did you successfully break through?" Huang Yiming nodded, releasing the pressure of a peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator: "That's right, I have broken through to the peak of the early-stage Nascent Soul realm and unlocked the Dragon Clan's secret technique—Dragon Transformation. Now, even if the Xuanbing Sect Master comes, I can contend with him."

Upon hearing this, the five women's eyes filled with joy, and they all cheered for Huang Yiming. Su Qingyue stepped forward and said, "Yiming, the Western Allied Forces will arrive at the eastern border in three days. I have already transported a large number of heavy weapons, drones, and medical supplies from the city and set up defensive fortifications; Yuling and Ziyao have also reorganized the surrendered cultivators and trained an elite demon beast legion, ready to fight at any time."

Qin Yuling added, "Moreover, all the sects and demon beast tribes in the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld have submitted, and we have completely unified the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld. Now we can convene a sect conference to establish your ruling position and prepare for your ascension to the throne as emperor."

Huang Yiming nodded, his tone firm: "Alright! Tomorrow we will hold a sect conference in Black Rock City, inviting all sect leaders who have submitted to the sects and leaders of the demon beast tribes to participate, establish our ruling position, announce the establishment of a dynasty, enfeoff the five of you, and then prepare for war with all our might to meet the attack of the Western Allied Forces."

Afterwards, everyone went their separate ways to prepare for the sect assembly and the enthronement. Yang Xiu was in charge of internal affairs, setting up the venue for the sect assembly, and preparing the items needed for the enthronement; Su Qingyue was in charge of receiving the sect leaders and leaders of the demon beast tribes, arranging their food and lodging, and continuing to coordinate the supply of materials between the two realms; Qin Yuling and Zi Yao were in charge of training the legion and strengthening the defenses to prevent the Western Allied Forces from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack; Ling Xi accompanied Huang Yiming, helping him familiarize himself with the enthronement process, while also studying the secrets of the Myriad Realms Mark.

That evening, Huang Yiming sat on the roof of the camp, playing with a mysterious jade pendant in his hand. The light of the jade pendant echoed the four ancient time-traveling fragments. Five women sat around him, each touching the multiverse mark on their wrists, their expressions different.

"Yiming, I always feel that this Mark of the Myriad Realms is related to the Dragon Clan and the Spirit Clan from a thousand years ago. Perhaps our ancestors came from the Myriad Realms," Lingxi said softly, her eyes full of thought. Ziyao nodded and continued, "The Demonic Sect power within me seems to be connected to a certain force in the Myriad Realms, and I always dream of an unfamiliar realm where demonic energy is overwhelming, and there are many Demonic Sect disciples like me."

Qin Yuling spoke up, "My family suddenly disappeared many years ago, leaving behind only a jade pendant similar to the Mark of the Myriad Realms. Perhaps my family was silenced because they were exploring the secrets of the Myriad Realms." Su Qingyue then said, "I am naturally able to resonate with modern technology. This may also be the effect of the Mark of the Myriad Realms. The modern world may also have some kind of connection with the Myriad Realms."

Yang Xiu said gently, "No matter what our background is, no matter where we come from, we will always be with you, protecting the two realms together and exploring the secrets of all worlds."

Huang Yiming held the five women's hands, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination: "That's right, no matter how mysterious your backgrounds are, no matter what dangers we encounter in the future, we will face them together. Once we defeat the Western Alliance and unlock the full interdimensional travel function, we will travel to the myriad worlds together, find out your backgrounds, uncover all the secrets, protect the two worlds together, and explore the myriad worlds together."

The five women nodded, their eyes filled with longing. Years of companionship had already made them understand each other's hearts. No matter how difficult the future might be, they would firmly follow him and never abandon him.

The following morning, Blackrock City was brightly lit and bustling with activity. All the sect leaders who had submitted to the sects and the chieftains of the demon beast tribes arrived in Blackrock City to attend the sect assembly. Huang Yiming, dressed in a golden dragon robe and holding the Dragon Spirit Sword, sat in the main seat. Five women, dressed in gorgeous attire, stood on either side of him. Although their auras were different, they all exuded the pressure of being at least at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and their temperaments were outstanding.

The sect assembly officially began. Huang Yiming stood up, releasing the oppressive aura of a peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, instantly silencing the entire assembly. "Everyone," he announced, "I have gathered you here today to announce a momentous event—from this day forward, all sects and demon beast tribes in the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld will be under my unified jurisdiction. I will establish the [Great Ming Dynasty], proclaim myself the Supreme Ruler of the Mystic Realms, bestow titles upon five women, and implement a system that integrates technology and cultivation, ensuring that the opportunities of both realms benefit all who submit!"

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators knelt down and kowtowed, shouting in unison, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Lord! Long live the Lord!" Their voices were deafening and echoed throughout the entire Black Rock City.

Huang Yiming raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then said, "Qin Yuling has distinguished herself in battle and possesses formidable strength. She is hereby crowned Queen and will jointly govern the court with me, leading the legions of both realms; Yang Xiu is meticulous and manages internal affairs with great efficiency. She is hereby crowned Consort Shu and will manage the inner palace affairs and coordinate logistics; Su Qingyue is proficient in commerce and integrates resources from both realms. She is hereby crowned Merchant Venerable and will oversee commerce in both realms, promoting trade between them; Ling Xi, as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, controls the power of spiritual plants. She is hereby crowned Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, leading the Spirit Clan and cultivating spiritual plants; Zi Yao, who leads the Demon Sect and possesses formidable strength, is hereby crowned Demon Lord and will lead the disciples of the Demon Sect, protecting the safety of the dynasty!"

"Your subjects (Consort, Merchant Lord, Spirit Saintess, Demon Lord) receive the decree!" the five women responded in unison, bowing deeply, their eyes filled with joy and honor. They knew that this conferment was not only Huang Yiming's recognition of them, but also a reward for their years of companionship and dedication.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the camp. A scout rushed over, knelt on one knee, and said with a grave expression, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Western Allied Forces have arrived at the eastern border ahead of schedule. The leader of the Xuanbing Sect, with ten thousand cultivators, has breached our first line of defenses and is heading towards Black Rock City. Moreover, the Xuanbing Sect Leader possesses the fifth fragment of the Ancient Shuttle!"

Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically, a flash of anger and surprise crossing his eyes—anger at the Western Allied Forces' premature attack, and surprise at the appearance of the fifth ancient time-travel fragment. Obtaining this fragment would unlock the complete interdimensional travel function, allowing him to explore the five women's origins and the secrets of the myriad worlds.

"Perfect timing!" Huang Yiming sneered, wielding the Dragon Spirit Sword, unleashing the full pressure of a peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. "Yu Ling, Zi Yao, come with me to the Western Allied Forces and seize the fifth Ancient Shuttle Fragment; Qing Yue, Ling Xi, and Yang Xiu, stay behind in Black Rock City to manage state affairs, allocate resources, defend the city, and prevent enemy attacks!"

"Yes!" the five women responded in unison and immediately sprang into action. Huang Yiming led Qin Yuling, Zi Yao, and ten thousand elite soldiers from the Two Realms Legion, quickly heading to the eastern border in a modern helicopter. He secretly pondered: "Sect Master of the Xuanbing Sect, the fifth time-traveling fragment—today, I will seize the fragment, defeat the Western Allied Forces, and lay a solid foundation for my ascension to the throne and my conquest of the myriad realms!" Little did he know that behind the Sect Master of the Xuanbing Sect lay not only the support of the western sects but also the shadow of evil forces from the myriad realms, and an even greater crisis was quietly brewing.
