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

The atmosphere inside the Zichen Palace was solemn. Huang Yiming sat upright on the dragon throne, holding the Hongmeng Realm Token he had seized from Mo Xie. Five women stood side by side beside him, their gazes fixed on the token, each with a different expression. The token was entirely black, its surface engraved with strange patterns, faintly radiating a strong evil aura, yet it also shared a subtle resonance with the system core and the Dragon Clan Key—clearly, the three were inextricably linked, which was the core foreshadowing that Huang Yiming had been trying to unravel since the first nine volumes.

"Your Majesty, the patterns on this token are somewhat similar to those on the stone tablet in my Spirit Clan's Holy Land." Ling Xi stepped forward and examined the token carefully. The Spirit Clan mark between her brows flickered slightly. "Back in the Spirit Clan's Holy Land, I deciphered the secrets of how the Dragon Clan and the Spirit Clan joined forces to fight against the evil cultivators of the Hongmeng Realm and the Black Demon Realm a thousand years ago (Chapter 382). The patterns on this token seem to be the symbol of the evil cultivators' forces back then."

Huang Yiming nodded, raised his hand and took out the Dragon Clan Key and the Boundary Origin Jade Pendant (obtained from Volume 9), placing them next to the token. The three emitted a faint light simultaneously, resonating with each other. The patterns on the token gradually became clearer, and golden rays of light emerged from the token, transforming into ancient characters that floated in mid-air—these were the ancient characters of the Primordial Realm, and also the secrets left behind by the Dragon Clan and the Spirit Clan a thousand years ago.

Lingxi stepped forward, deciphering the ancient texts. Her voice slowly rose, revealing all the foreshadowing from the first nine volumes: "Supreme One, these texts record the origin of the system, the secrets of the Dragon Clan, and the connection between the Primordial Realm, the Dark Demon Realm, and the Azure Nether Realm."

"A thousand years ago, the Hongmeng Realm was divided into two factions: righteous and evil. The righteous forces allied with the Dragon Clan to jointly protect the peace of all realms, while the evil cultivators were ambitious and attempted to rule all realms. They colluded with the Black Demon Realm to launch the Great War of All Realms." Lingxi's voice carried a hint of heaviness. "To resist the invasion of the evil cultivators and the Black Demon Realm, the Dragon Clan exhausted all its power to create the [Inter-realm Communication System]—which is the system you awakened. Its purpose was to find a successor who could unify the lower-level realms and resist the evil cultivators. And you, Huang Yiming, are the successor chosen by the Dragon Clan."

Huang Yiming was shocked. His long-standing doubts were finally resolved: the unexpected awakening of the [Interdimensional Communication System] (Volume 1) when he failed the college entrance examination was not accidental, but a deliberate arrangement by the Dragon Clan; the upgrade of the system from the [Interdimensional Communication System] to the [Multidimensional Communication System] (Volume 9) was not just a simple upgrade, but a gradual unlocking of its original functions as he grew; and the encounters he had with Qin Yuling, Yang Xiu, Su Qingyue, Ling Xi, Zi Yao, and all the opportunities and challenges seemed to be within the Dragon Clan's expectations.

"What is the purpose of the Dragon Clan Key?" Qin Yuling asked softly. The Dragon Gallant Spear in her hand was obtained by the Qin Family Fortress from the Dragon Clan's ruins (Volume 2), which now seemed no accident.

Lingxi continued to explain: "The Dragon Clan Key is not only the key to opening the passage to the Primordial Realm, but also the key to activating the full functionality of the system. A thousand years ago, after the Dragon Clan was defeated, they retreated to the Primordial Realm, leaving behind the Dragon Clan Key and the system core, waiting for the successor to appear. Once the successor unifies the lower-level realms and breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, they can use the Dragon Clan Key to open the passage to the Primordial Realm, join forces with the Dragon Clan and the righteous forces of the Primordial Realm, and fight together against the evil cultivators and the Dark Demon Realm."

"Besides, these texts also record that the reason why the patriarch of the Tianyan Sect colluded with the Demon Clan (Volume 8) was because he was bewitched by the evil cultivators of the Hongmeng Realm and wanted to use their power to dominate the Qingming Realm; while the remnants of the Black Stone Sect and the Qingyun Sect (Volumes 3 and 6) have been sabotaging the fusion of the two realms, they were also bought off by the evil cultivators and became their pawns in the Qingming Realm." Lingxi's voice gradually rose, "And the student with awakened abilities that you found at the Urban Immortal Cultivation Academy (Chapter 363), he is not an ordinary student, but the key to the core area of ​​the Hongmeng Realm, the key to opening the Myriad Realms Supreme Assembly."

Upon hearing this, all five women showed expressions of shock. All the mysteries from the first nine volumes were finally solved—from Huang Yiming's failure to pass the college entrance exam and awakening of the system, to the fusion of the two worlds, the encounter of the female protagonist group, to the grudges of the villains, and the foreshadowing of the myriad worlds, everything revolved around the core theme of "resisting the evil cultivators of the Hongmeng Realm and protecting the peace of the myriad worlds".

Su Qingyue said softly, "I see. When I met the Supreme in the city (Volume 3) and managed the dual-world business (Volume 7), it seemed accidental, but in reality, it was to stockpile resources and solidify the foundation for today's war of myriad worlds." Yang Xiu also nodded and said, "I was redeemed by the Supreme in Volume 1 and managed internal affairs so that the Supreme would have no worries and could devote himself to the war."

Zi Yao's eyes were icy: "Back then, when I was subdued by the Supreme in the Demon Sect (Volume 6), I cleaned up the traitors in the Demon Sect in order to integrate the Demon Sect's forces and make them a fighting force against evil cultivators; Qin Yuling formed a bond with the Supreme in Qin Family Fortress (Volume 2) and led the Legion of Two Realms in order to protect the two realms and resist foreign enemies; Ling Xi was saved by the Supreme in the Spirit Clan (Volume 5) and awakened her mixed bloodline in order to decipher the ancient secrets and help the Supreme break through."

Huang Yiming looked at the five women, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that his achievements today, and his ability to unravel all the mysteries, were inseparable from the companionship and assistance of the five women. He raised his hand and grasped their hands, his tone firm: "A thousand years ago, the Dragon Clan and the Spirit Clan paid a heavy price to protect all realms; now it is our turn. I will lead you, with the power of both realms, to the Hongmeng Realm, to join forces with the Dragon Clan and the righteous forces, to completely shatter the conspiracy of the evil cultivators and the Dark Demon Realm, to protect those around us, and to safeguard the peace of all realms."

The five women nodded vigorously, their eyes filled with determination. No matter how difficult the road ahead, they would always stay by Huang Yiming's side, sharing life and death, never abandoning him—this was their promise along the way, and their deepest love for Huang Yiming.

Huang Yiming looked again at the Primordial Realm token and the ancient characters floating in mid-air, a trace of doubt still lingering in his mind: "Lingxi, does this text mention anything about the specific situation of the righteous forces in the Primordial Realm? Does it mention the whereabouts of the Dragon Clan leader?"

Lingxi examined it carefully and nodded, saying, "It's mentioned. The leader of the righteous forces in the Hongmeng Realm is named Lingxu Zhenren, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. For many years, he has been leading the righteous forces to resist the invasion of evil cultivators, but due to their weak strength, they have gradually been suppressed by the evil cultivators. Meanwhile, the dragon clan leader Ao Cang is currently trapped in the dragon clan's holy land in the Hongmeng Realm, besieged by the evil cultivators, and is in imminent danger."

Huang Yiming's eyes narrowed. The fact that the Dragon Clan leader was trapped was undoubtedly bad news, but it was also an opportunity. As long as the Dragon Clan leader was rescued, he could gain the full support of the Dragon Clan and integrate the righteous forces of the Hongmeng Realm more quickly to fight against the evil cultivators and the Black Demon Realm.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Huang Yiming's mind: "Detected that the host has deciphered the secrets of the Hongmeng Realm Token, unlocking a new system function - Multiverse Positioning, which can locate the positions of the righteous forces in the Hongmeng Realm and the Dragon Clan Holy Land; at the same time, it was detected that the envoys of the righteous forces in the Hongmeng Realm have arrived at the border of the Qingming Realm and are heading towards the Daming Dynasty, intending to form an alliance with the host to jointly resist the evil cultivators and the Black Demon Realm."

Huang Yiming was overjoyed. The arrival of the righteous forces' envoys was undoubtedly a timely help, giving him more confidence in fighting against the evil cultivators and the Black Demon Realm. However, he did not let his guard down. He knew that the evil cultivators would definitely notice the righteous forces' movements and would inevitably intercept them halfway, leading to a new conflict.

The five women also showed joy. Su Qingyue said, "Your Majesty, let's prepare now to welcome the envoys from the righteous forces, while also guarding against the interception by evil cultivators." Huang Yiming nodded, his tone firm: "Alright, Yuling and Ziyao, you lead the two-realm legions to the border of the Azure Netherworld to meet the envoys and guard against the interception by evil cultivators; Qingyue, Lingxi, and Yang Xiu, you stay in the palace to manage the affairs of the two realms, stockpile supplies, and prepare for war."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the five women responded in unison, immediately sprang into action. Huang Yiming sat on the dragon throne, gripping the Dragon Clan Key tightly in his hand, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Primordial Realm. He knew that the Journey Through the Myriad Realms was about to officially begin, and he and the five women would face even greater challenges. Would the envoys from the righteous forces of the Primordial Realm successfully reach the Great Ming Dynasty? Would the evil cultivators intercept them along the way? What kind of crisis was hidden in the Dragon Clan's sacred land where the Dragon Clan leader was trapped?
