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

Chapter: Chapter 623Alex sat alone in the sect master’s office, the vast chamber silent except for the faint creak of ancient wooden beams overhead. Sunlight slanted through paper windows, catching dust motes that drifted like lazy spirits.The room was empty. Every elder and senior disciple who might have challenged his authority had already come and gone, each one slipping away with a handful of the precise movements he had demonstrated.They had taken what they needed and vanished into closed-door cultivation, sealing themselves away for months or years.Even the proudest among them had bowed their heads when he spoke, because they all knew the truth: he was ranked number one across all peaks and had only a five-year contract as the sect master. Now, one felt threatened by him.He leaned back in the heavy carved chair and his small fingers drummed once against the armrest. The silence felt like victory, but it also felt heavy.Alex let his gaze wander across the room—the faded scrolls on the walls, th

Chapter: Chapter 622Alex had never pretended to be a good man, but he wasn’t a villain either.He understood the Wudang Sect had its own plans, ones that didn’t always match his own.Over the years he had gained plenty from them—skills, respect, a place at their table. Yet those gains had never been enough to chain him here forever.“I need to leave this place,” he said.He had unfinished business waiting in Estoria.The Sect Master studied him for a long moment, then gave a slow nod. “When you become the young successor of the Sect Master, you will be free to go anywhere you wish.”Alex hadn’t expected that offer. For a heartbeat the idea hung in the air like an open door he had never noticed.“I don’t want to become the Wudang Sect Master,” he said, flat and honest.The Sect Master’s brows drew together. “Why?”“This place is too small for me.”A ripple of outrage swept the elders. One of them shot to his feet. “How can you speak so lightly of your own sect?”Even the Sect Master looked startled. He le

Chapter: Chapter 621Another elder shot him a cold glare. “Do you honestly believe you could have dragged him here if he didn’t want to come?”The elders fell suddenly silent.Elder Tong’s humiliating defeat still hung fresh in everyone’s mind—a hard, painful lesson none of them could ignore. Dragging Jun Jiu anywhere against his will would not be simple. It would almost certainly cause far more trouble than any of them wanted to handle.The Sect Master nodded once, calm and unhurried. “Then tomorrow, I will go meet him myself.”Shock rippled through every elder in the room. The rule had always been ironclad: when the Sect Master called, disciples came running and bowed low. Never— not once in the long history of the sect—had the Sect Master gone to a disciple after being refused.“That damn disciple,” one elder snarled. “Why don’t we punish him and force him to come?”“That is also an option,” the Sect Master said evenly. “But to do it, you would need to take your own disciples and go there yourselves.

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
