Chapter: Chapter 629In the quiet hush of the Bai Mansion, morning light spilled across the polished wooden floors of the great hall. Alex sat in a high-backed chair, Lord Bai in every sense—ruler, protector, architect of a new order. Across from him, Zhuge Liang leaned forward, his scholar’s robes draped neatly, eyes sharp with the weight of centuries of strategy.“Lord Bai,” Zhuge Liang said, “are you certain you want to hand out a single Wudang strengthening pill to every person who accepts the band-aid Gaia? These pills are ruinously expensive. One dose could feed an entire family for a month.”Alex frowned, the lines deepening between his brows. “They’re my people. What’s wrong with giving my own the very best? Even a farmer feeds his pigs the finest grain if he wants them strong.”Zhuge Liang fell silent for a moment, studying him. “Then… are you planning to butcher them later?”“Hell no,” Alex answered, a low laugh escaping despite the seriousness in his eyes. “But we need their strength. We’re goi

Chapter: Chapter 628Alex stepped through the Wudang’s gates and lifted into the air, the wind whipping past him as he flew toward Qingshui City.Moments later the familiar rooftops of the Bai family estate came into view, sprawling across the hillside like a fortress carved from white stone and ancient timber.The moment his boots touched the flagstones of the inner courtyard, every servant and guard froze. Faces turned, eyes wide with shock. Then, almost as one, the nearest attendants dropped into deep bows.“Welcome back, City Lord,” they murmured.Alex raised a hand, cutting the chorus short. “Send someone for Zhuge Liang. Now.”“Yes, City Lord.” One guard straightened, already moving. He sprinted for the outer gate without another word.Alex stood in the sudden quiet, the sun warm on his shoulders.Soft footsteps sounded behind him. Bai Yuhan emerged from the main hall, her silk robes whispering against the stone. She stopped a respectful distance away, hands folded.“Big Brother,” she said, voice br

Chapter: Chapter 627Li Qingxue’s hand rested lightly on his arm, steadying him as they drifted downward. She guided him through the humming sea of green until they hovered just above a cluster of seven-colored spirit orchids.Their petals shimmered like living jewels, pulsing with dense medicinal qi. The old master reached out with trembling fingers and plucked one ripe fruit from a low branch. It was warm, heavy, and perfect—its skin velvety beneath his callused palm.Real. It was all real.He had once heard from his master that whenever this fruit appeared in the world, Murim warriors would slaughter one another just to claim it. Hundreds had died for a single fruit, as it could boost one’s cultivation by fifty years.Yet now, with all these fruits lying before him, no one was fighting for them.Truly, times had changed.He closed his eyes for a long moment, then slipped it into his robe like a sacred relic. “Lead on, Qingxue,” he said, voice rough with emotion. “Show me the rest of the Peaks. Every si

Chapter: Chapter 626The old sect master hovered in mid-air, robes fluttering in the high mountain wind, his jaw slack as he stared down at the transformed peak. Li Qingxue floated beside him. “It is still Thousand Herb Peak, Master. Only… improved.”Improved? The word felt like mockery. Where once a humble wooden hall had stood—three stories of weathered timber, roof tiles cracked by centuries of rain and snow—now rose a forest of towering structures.Twenty buildings at least, each fifty stories high, their walls gleaming with metal and polished stone and something smooth and transparent like frozen water.No thatch. No carved beams. No familiar scent of aged pine and herbal smoke. Just cold, hard lines that screamed of foreign craft.“These materials,” he rasped, pointing a trembling finger. “Wood has always served us. It breathes with the mountain. These… these things are metal and stone and… whatever that clear substance is. They feel wrong. Cold. Dead.”Li Qingxue’s voice stayed gentle. “They are f

Chapter: Chapter 625The old sect master stood frozen on the mountain peak, his mind reeling from the unbelievable scenes unfolding in the courtyard below.Drones buzzed through the air, carrying items back and forth like busy transport vehicles. In the distance, a disciple was even piloting something that could fly. None of it made any sense.Before he could gather his thoughts, soft footsteps approached. Li Qingxue appeared at the edge of the peak and dropped into a deep, respectful bow.“Congratulations, Master,” she said, voice steady and warm. “Your closed-door cultivation is complete.”“Qingxue.” The old man’s words came out in a rush. “Tell me what in the nine heavens is happening here.”He swept his arm toward the entire Wudang Mountain, his voice cracking with disbelief. “Are we under attack? Has Xia fallen to Prussia? Is this… their doing?”Li Qingxue straightened slowly, meeting his wild gaze with calm certainty. “No, Master. None of this belongs to the Prussians. Every piece was crafted by Jun

Chapter: Chapter 624One full month. That was how long it had taken—thirty grueling days of relentless production, sleepless nights, and quiet victories measured in exponential growth.The swarm had multiplied beyond counting. The Mother AI now pulsed at the heart of the building like a living heartbeat.And the first finished product rested in his small palm: a thin, transparent strip no larger than a band-aid, shimmering faintly under the lantern light.He had chosen Lu Piao for this moment—the sharp-eyed young man from Thousand Herb’s Peak and the circle of trusted disciples who had followed him since the beginning.They were the ones who understood loyalty and hungered for strength.“Lu Piao,” Alex called, his voice steady and low.The disciple stepped forward, robes whispering across the polished floor. Alex extended his hand, offering the small device.“You will use this technology.”Lu Piao took the strip between two fingers and turned it over, brow furrowed. “What is this?”“It is artificial intel

Return of Overthinker
When the demon finally harnessed human sins and negative emotions to harvest negative energy, it opened a spatial gate to the planets that were already ravaged by monsters and teeming with dark creatures. The beasts and monsters passed through the gate, unleashing havoc upon Earth. These monstrous creatures caused destruction on a massive scale, pushing the earth toward an apocalyptic catastrophe.
In this dark time, The Creator granted certain humans the ability, marked by symbols on their right hands, to wield the power of gods and angels to combat these dark creatures.
My ability was 'Overthinking,' the weakest, but with hard work, I persisted for 60 years to become the most powerful and the savior of the world. However, in my final moments, I was betrayed by a friend who was born rich and noble, who forced me to die to obtain everything I had worked so hard for. Nevertheless, before my demise, I sent my memories back to my younger years.
This time, I will obtain everything: the best items, the finest women, and the most potent abilities. All will be mine!

Chapter: Chapter 204I was a bit surprised. "Isn't down there a place where the dead rest, and there is nothing but cold and barren land?" "At first, it was a place full of beauty, but those who did not like it destroyed everything in it, making it cold and barren. I hope you can help those suffering down there find kindness and peace. In truth, you can build a place far more beautiful than the palace of the gods because hell was initially a very beautiful place for those in need." "I accept it wherever You send me." *** In a temple where knowledge was usually shared, several humans who were teachers of various schools gathered to discuss important matters about knowledge. "Hey," said one human to another, "Why did the gods stop sharing their knowledge with us?" "Haven't you heard that the King of the gods, or God Indra, has been replaced?" "Really?" "God Indra is now angry after finding out that knowledge was given to humans by the previous Indra," said another human. "He stopped all knowledge fro

Chapter: Chapter 203After 1,000 years had passed, the three worlds experienced their golden age. There was no poverty or hunger throughout the three worlds. Everything was going very well. All dimensions entered a golden age because kindness became the most important thing in the three realms. Humans, gods, ashuras, and all beings were directed to continue giving kindness to all creatures. During my reign, everyone competed to do good so that there was no poverty, hunger, or lack. During that time, those who came to me, whether gods, ashuras, or humans, would get what they asked for. I did this as my way of doing good to all beings.One day, a dwarf-bodied brahmin came to my palace. The brahmin, called Vamana, had a body that was only waist-high to an ordinary human. He wore white clothes that wrapped loosely around his small body. However, considering that he was a human and came from the third dimension, being able to ascend to the twelfth dimension where the gods' palace was located was alr

Chapter: Chapter 202"I don't remember that part," I said. "Because each life makes you forget. I just want to say, if you give the gods' knowledge to humans, won't the gods lose their power? Haven't you humiliated them all? Your strength has made you not understand the feelings of the weaker gods." "Guru, if what you say is true, is my current strength because I was a strong spirit in the past?" He looked at me and weakly shook his head. "No, all spirits start from the same place." "Then why did I become strong?" "You had no fear, and your enjoyment of playing made you keep striving for something greater without caring for your own life." Brihaspati continued, "However, what placed you as King Indra is something else." "What is that?" "A sense of responsibility to protect the weak and make life better for all beings." Brihaspati sighed. "Those who have that sincerity will always be carried by karma and the will of God to re

Chapter: Chapter 201"Boss, you've become weak," said Raindo, one of the Ashura generals, approaching me. He looked enormous compared to my now smaller form. "You keep spending time in that school and library. You never fight anymore. You're going to become weak, and the previous Indra will soon return to reclaim his throne." "You just don't understand, my brother," I said, still reading a book. "Right now, I am ten times stronger than I was before." "I don't believe it," said Raindo, one of the strongest generals. "Let's test it." "Of course," I said, seemingly unconcerned. "Get ready." "I'm always ready," he replied. As soon as he said that, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, striking his body. He was thrown far, crashing into the palace walls and severely injured. "What happened?" he asked, looking confused and trying to stand up. He didn't know what had hit him. "I just attacked you. I gained the power

Chapter: Chapter 200“Oh,” I shouted. “That's easy.” Suddenly, I felt very smart. “I have plenty of wealth in the treasury.” Quickly, I ordered several Ashura to bring as much treasure as possible from Indra's vault and distribute it to all the Ashura. All the Ashura were happy. “Look, Guru, haven't I done a good deed? I shared my wealth with them.” I felt pleased. “Fool!” he shouted. “You haven't done a good deed at all. You should have given the wealth to those in need.” I fell silent. Quickly, I ordered all the Ashura to return the treasures they had received. The Ashura didn't need wealth; if there was one thing they needed, it was weapons. They all grumbled, and I quickly asked, “Do you want food and drink or wealth?” “Food!!!!” “Drink!!” None wanted wealth. Suddenly, it dawned on me. Who needs wealth? The Ashura don't need wealth, the gods already have plenty of wealth. The only poor creatures needing wealth are humans

Chapter: Chapter 199“Prepare all the food and drinks. All the gods must order their servants to bring all the food from their palaces. Call the apsaras, the heavenly maidens, and beautiful dancers. Call the singers and musicians. We will have a party.” So, a grand feast was held for days in the courtyard of Indra's palace. Music, dancing, and food never stopped. After that, the Ashura were left drunk in the palace courtyard. The gods had returned to their respective duties. I moved around to see the entire palace, and suddenly, an old man appeared before me. “What have you done to this place?” the old man asked, looking at the palace's new weapon-laden decor. “Who are you?” I asked, confused. This old man wore the simple clothes of a Brahmana, a single piece of cloth. The Brahmana do not fight, so we never touch them. If they get angry, we could get the worst curses of our lives. But if they are pleased, they could grant us many new and exciting powers. We prefer to appease them and wait for the
