Chapter: Chapter 616The illusionary realm shimmered and dissolved around Alex like mist burning off under morning sun.In its place stretched a vast, rolling hill crowned with ancient trees, a crystal-clear river winding lazily through the valley below, and a dense forest of emerald pines and flowering maples that whispered in the breeze.Sunlight dappled the grass in golden patches. The air smelled of pine resin and wildflowers, crisp and alive.An old man stood beside the river, tall and straight-backed, his silver hair tied neatly at the nape of his neck.He was strikingly handsome even in age—high cheekbones, warm brown eyes that sparkled with quiet mischief, and a smile that carried the easy charm of someone who had once turned every head in a room.He wore simple gray robes that moved with the wind as though they belonged to the landscape itself.Alex approached slowly. The old man tilted his face toward the open sky, watching a lone hawk circle overhead.“I don’t know how many centuries have passe

Chapter: Chapter 615Alex stood within the illusory realm of the swordplay trial. An elder materialized before him, robes stirring as though touched by an invisible breeze.“This is the Wudang Seven Moons,” the elder said. He lifted his sword and began to move.Every arc of the blade summoned seven luminous moons that hung in the air like pale lanterns, their light flowing with each strike. The forms were graceful yet merciless, a dance of moonlight and steel.When the demonstration ended, the elder lowered his weapon and met Alex’s gaze. “If you can defend yourself against seven times seven of those strikes—forty-nine in all—you will advance. You have one hour to study the art.”Most who saw the technique only once would have needed rare fortune to grasp even its basics.Alex had Gaia. The system captured every angle, every shift of weight and breath, then replayed the sequence hundreds of times inside his mind with flawless precision.He sat in meditation while the hour ticked away in the real world.

Chapter: Chapter 614Alex stepped into the swordplay trial, and the first bout hit him like a cold slap.One moment he stood among the gathered disciples on Sword Peak; the next, the world blurred and he found himself alone in a wide stone arena under a pale sky.A figure shimmered into existence across from him—a young disciple gripping a wooden sword. The attacker came on without hesitation, blade flashing in a simple, textbook arc from the Wudang basics.Alex’s pulse quickened. He had trained these same forms for years. He saw the opening before the strike even finished its path: the slight drop of the elbow, the overextended shoulder.His own wooden sword snapped up, parried cleanly, and drove forward in a crisp counter. Wood cracked against wood. The disciple staggered and dissolved into light.Ten points flashed in front of his eyes.He allowed himself a tight smile. So that was how it worked.Every victory added ten points. Every loss would strip them away just as fast. As long as the tally stayed

Chapter: Chapter 613Alex stared at the growing crowd that had fallen in behind them, his brow furrowed in genuine confusion.“Why are all these people gathering with us?” he asked.Lu Piao threw his head back and laughed, the sound bright and unrestrained. “Big Brother, your humbleness is bottomless. Let me bow to you first.” He swept into a deep, theatrical bow, holding it just long enough for Alex to feel awkward.Alex accepted the gesture with a small, resigned nod and waited.Still grinning, Lu Piao straightened. “First,” he said, voice ringing with pride, “who on this peak doesn’t know you’re ranked number one on the Thousand Herbs Stone Stele for medical knowledge?”Alex gave a slight nod. That much he understood; the ranking was public.“Second,” Lu Piao continued, “you’re the undisputed number-one outer disciple of Thousand Herb Peak. Everyone saw that fight.”Again Alex nodded. The memory of the bout still sat fresh in his mind, raw and public.“Third,” Lu Piao said, “for the last two years you’

Chapter: Chapter 612Without warning, Alex drew his sword and pressed the blade against Elder Tong’s neck.At the same time, Lu Piao and the Thousand Herbs disciples—still crushed under the overwhelming pressure from the Discipline Department’s leader—made their choice.Despite the force bearing down on them, they drew their swords.Steel flashed.In a single motion, they placed their blades against the throats of all five hundred Discipline disciples.The leader’s face went pale. His charge toward Alex halted instantly.“What… what are you doing?” he demanded, his voice unsteady.Alex met his gaze, eyes cold and unwavering.“Take one more step,” he said quietly, “and we’ll send every one of them to hell.”“You dare?!” the leader shouted, stunned.A sharp, humorless laugh escaped Alex. “Why wouldn’t I?”His voice turned lethal.“Cut.”The command fell like a blade.At once, the Thousand Herbs disciples obeyed. A thin line of red appeared across each captive’s throat—just enough to draw blood, just enough

Chapter: Chapter 611“You call yourself my elder?” Alex laughed.“Don’t make me laugh. You came here with killing intent. You wanted to burn this entire garden, cut off our arms, and even kill us if we refused to obey.”“What kind of elder would do that? All I see is an enemy,” Alex said, shaking his head. “And I have no mercy for my enemies.”“Please,” Elder Tong begged. “We are all disciples of the Wudang Sect. There is no need to be so heavy-handed. Please give me the antidote.”He could already feel his cultivation beginning to dissipate, and if this continued any longer, he would soon reach the point of no return.He would lose his chance to remain a cultivator forever.Alex shook his head. “If I showed mercy to every enemy I had, I would have died long ago.”“This world has karma. You chose your actions. Then accept the consequences. You chose to make me your enemy. Then I am your worst nightmare.”Alex raised his hand. “Brothers! These people came here intending to cut off our arms and punish us for

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
