Chapter 40: The Eternal City "Permission verification passed." The heavy gates opened outward to both sides, and the shuttle carried its passengers into the Main City. The outer perimeter of the Eternal City had been all yellow dirt and gray dust, resembling an uncivilized medieval village where even the latrines were open-air. Unexpectedly, the Main City featured far more modern technology, with streetlights lining the roads. Bright light spilled from the windows of the castle, suggesting that…-

Chapter 39: They Were Not Equal Comrades-in-Arms with the Omnics—They Were Merely Protected Monkeys The signal emitted by the Omnic was extremely faint, lasting for only those few short seconds while the gate was open. Yet, Dongfang Qingdi still managed to capture that brief segment of encrypted radio waves. From it, Dongfang Qingdi decoded the Omnic's model, serial number, and distress message: — Apostle III: Gospel No. 1.2.5. — Damage level: 89%. Requesting assistance. Xiang Nanli…

A week had flashed by since the conclusion of the life-and-death duel. Rusted iron bars jutted out across the fractured ground like the snapped bones of a gnawed carcass. Within the ruins of the Blood Arena, where cages lay shattered and pillars remained broken, members of the resistance group Clepsydra were busily scavenging up and down, salvaging the relics left behind by the Chrono-Entropy Corporation. Quicksand was wandering aimlessly through the debris, holding a cup of Coptis root tea and…-

Memories surfaced vaguely, like a landscape emerging from behind a thick fog. The old man with the goatee recalled a day from long ago. Before the sky had turned completely dark, he and Diamonds had been sitting inside the dilapidated clinic, while the street outside was chopped into fragmented pieces by the shadows of hurried passersby. Diamonds’s lips moved, but the words falling into the old man's ears were entirely muffled, like echoes vibrating underwater. He heard Diamonds say with a faint…

Chapter 38: Which Line of Code Went Wrong? After saying that, Xiang Nanli drifted off into a groggy sleep. He had only woken up for a brief moment. Before falling back asleep, a thought flashed through Xiang Nanli's mind: Since Dongfang Qingdi is leaving, I should order a domestic housekeeping robot once I get back to Gusu City. He had saved up just enough money anyway. With his current income level, he could easily afford a higher-end model. He just didn't know if any would be as human-like as…

Edited by Xue-- Chapter 37: His Heart Beat Because of Xiang Nanli Most buildings in the Eternal City were earth-brick flat-roofed houses, with half of their structures buried underground. The construction costs for these houses were very low, and their heat retention was excellent, making them extremely popular among the city's residents. Here, only a select few could live in the "Main City District"—such as distinguished guests, individuals who had made outstanding contributions to the…

“‘This single word has run straight through my entire life...’” Ben let out a quiet sigh, his eyes drifting over the three people standing in front of him: “If possible, I really wish the people who came were a bit older—preferably older than me, and preferably a priest. That way, I could treat this conversation as my final confession. I could ask the priest to bear witness that my love for her was in no way inferior to her love for me. When I die, I will carry the most intense love…-

“Uncle?” This was by no means a polite title; it could only mean... an actual blood relation. But how did Ji Xun know? “Come on in.” It wasn't just Huo Ranyin and Meng Fushan who were caught off guard; even Ben felt a sudden wave of shock and suspicion. Yet after that brief moment of astonishment, he stepped aside, allowing the three of them to walk into the room. He then switched on the light. The bright illumination dispersed the darkness, fully exposing the head chef’s…

Ji Xun’s foot stopped just short of the curtains. The wind was howling outside, but the curtains were not blown entirely wide open because two panels were clipped together. This helped block the violent gusts to some degree, keeping this veil that concealed the truth right where it belonged. Ji Xun was in no hurry to reach out and pull the curtains aside. He stood there, thought for a moment, and said, “Where should I begin...” Outside were wind and rain; all around were residents with…

A thunderous crack echoed. Lightning sliced through the sky first, followed by the belated rumble of thunder. At the sound of the muffled thunder, Ji Xun looked at Boss Wu and suddenly asked, “Whose descendant do you think we are?” Boss Wu was caught off guard, but almost immediately, a spark of fury seemed to brew beneath his terror. Without hesitation, he locked onto an answer: “...Chu Xingfa’s descendant!” Chu Xingfa’s descendant. He actually wasn't wrong. I really am Chu…
