Chapter: Chapter 680The Prussian succession had been a slaughter dressed as politics for five years.Twenty princes and one princess fought for the throne, and the only rule that mattered was brutally clear: win the support of five out of eight dukes, and the crown belonged to the winner.Brothers who had once trained together now hired knives in the dark. Factions formed at dawn and shattered by dusk.One prince would swear eternal loyalty to another over wine, then send poison before morning.The royal palace in Königsberg had become a graveyard of ambition.The first prince and the second prince had each secured two powerful dukes early. Their alliances were the standard everyone measured themselves against.Then, Sofina changed the game completely, backed by the influential dukes who had chosen to support her.The first duke to pledge his support was Duke Winter. He stood by Sofina, alongside his daughter Renata Winter—her best friend since childhood and the one who had carried her darkest secrets fo

Chapter: Chapter 679The great hall of the imperial pavilion held its breath.Alex sat on the emperor’s throne, the weight of the dragon robes pressing against his shoulders like a living thing. Eighteen governors lined the chamber in ordered rows. Zhuge Liang stood at his right hand, motionless, eyes fixed on nothing and everything at once.A month had passed since the crown had settled on Alex’s head. The northern armies were broken, the provinces quiet, the old Murim Alliance reduced to ash and memory. Yet the silence in the room felt brittle, as if the peace they had bought with blood might crack at the first wrong word.Alex leaned forward a fraction. The movement was small, but every governor straightened.“I have an announcement.”Eighteen voices answered in near unison, low and careful. “We are listening, Your Majesty.”He let the pause stretch one heartbeat longer than comfort allowed. “For longer than any of us can remember, Xia has kept its doors closed to the world. That policy ends today. We

Chapter: Chapter 678The sword struck with a wet, final sound.Emperor Liu Xie jerked once, his dragon robes blooming dark red across the chest. His fingers slipped from the throne’s armrest. Then he slumped forward, eyes wide with the stunned look of a man who had not yet understood he was already dead.For one terrible heartbeat the entire plaza froze.Then the screaming began.“Guards!” Alex roared. “Seize Murong Sheng and Xiao Wuji. They tried to kill the Emperor.”Wudang disciples poured from the side chambers in a disciplined wave, elders at their head. Their robes snapped as they moved. Swords and qi flared in unison.Ten of the strongest elders fanned out around Murong Sheng and Xiao Wuji, faces grim, killing intent thick in the air.Murong Sheng’s blade was still humming from the deflected strike. He stared at the fallen Emperor, then at the sword that had killed him, and something cold and ugly twisted behind his eyes.“No,” he said, voice hoarse. “It was an accident. Someone must have redirecte

Chapter: Chapter 677Liu Xie raised a hand. “My new Prime Minister will be a man of experience. A man who understands both the court and the old ways of the Murim. A man who has proven his loyalty to the throne in its darkest hour.”He looked across the hall, straight at the man standing in the place of honor.“Murong Sheng.”The name landed like a blade on stone.Before the echo faded, a single voice cut through the hall.“I, Bai Xiaochun, do not agree.”Every head turned. Alex stood near the center of the chamber, white robes still marked with the dust of the road. He had entered without ceremony, and the shock of his presence rippled outward like a stone dropped in still water. Governors who had been whispering fell silent.Even the Emperor’s hands tightened on the arms of the throne.Liu Xie stared. He had not expected this. Not here. Not now. Fear coiled cold in his stomach, but he forced his spine straight.“Prime Minister,” he said, trying to sound regal, “this is my country. I am the Emperor. Why

Chapter: Chapter 676The victory at Guangdu shook the very foundations of the empire.One after another, the remaining provinces submitted and bent the knee. Those ambitious governors who had once danced to their own tunes were unceremoniously removed and replaced by hand-picked loyalists who owed their allegiance solely to Alex.In less than a month, Bai Xiaochun stood as the undisputed master of all eighteen provinces of Xia.The once-mighty armies of each province, which had previously swept across the land like tempests, were all summoned back to their provincial capitals and silently disbanded.Only token garrisons remained — sufficient to preserve peace, yet powerless to ignite war.“No governor shall ever again wield the strength to raise his blade against his peers,” Alex proclaimed to the assembled governors.“Transform every soldier into a farmer! Let them abandon the path of slaughter. Let them take wives, beget children, labor in the fields to feed their families, and raise generation after ge

Chapter: Chapter 675Gaia’s calm voice resonated in Alex’s mind. “The enemy’s primary supply depots have been identified. They are located forty kilometers behind the vanguard. Three major stockpiles are currently supplying the main host. Satellite reconnaissance indicates only a light guard presence.”“Great.” Alex said. “Neutralize the guards. Clean sweep. Loot what you can carry. Burn or remove the rest. Leave nothing they can use.”“Understood,” Gaia replied instantly. “I’ve already moved ten thousand drones to the three supply depot locations. Ready to execute the order on your command.”Alex turned to Zhuge Liang. “Yuan Shao fights a ground war. He sees only what his scouts and messengers bring him. We see everything. The air is ours. The logistics that keep his army alive are already in our hands.”Zhuge Liang inclined his head. “A three-dimensional battlefield, my lord. He does not yet understand the rules have changed.”Alex allowed himself the smallest nod. “He will.”***Forty kilometers behind

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
