2025-03-14 16:38:54The helicopter flew into the most top-tier villa district in the country.
On this lofty mountain stand twenty luxurious villas in a scattered pattern. The higher the location of the villa, the more exalted and unfathomable the owner's status. There are even rumors that the owner of the No.1 villa at the mountaintop is Blackwood Family, the most powerful family in the world! And Kai? The helicopter soared over the entire mountain and brought him to the No.1 villa. He was utterly astounded! The scene before his eyes was something he'd only seen in movies! A sprawling estate stretching as far as the eye could see, with fountains, sculptures, a swimming pool, and rows of sharply dressed men standing at attention. Was he about to shoot the next 007 sequel? Then a middle-aged man emerged, pushing a wheelchair forward. In one synchronized motion, the men in black bowed, and shouted. "Hello, Master.” The old man in the wheelchair raised his hand in a gesture, his gaze lingering on Kai, enigmatic and inscrutable. "I'm Atlas Blackwood, founder of Orion Global" He paused, as if weighing how to frame his next words. "And your grandfather." Kai was struck dumb. For a fleeting second, he thought his ears had deceived him. How could Atlas Blackwood, that most formidable figure, assert that he, a mere nobody, was his grandson? That is crazy! The Blackwood Family owns the world! Their business empire spans nearly 80% of the countries on Earth! Even in the most remote island nations, people have heard of the might of Orion Group and used their products！ “This has to be a mistake”, Kai’s voice lowered, “I’ve always been just Kai, not Mr. Blackwood.” "Give it to him", Atlas Blackwood ordered. A man in a sharp suit stepped forward respectfully and handed him an envelope with both hands. “Sir, this is the test result.” And the Paternity Test Result: 99.99% Match. Atlas Blackwood was his grandfather! After his mother died, after his girlfriend dumped him—now he suddenly had a goddamn billionaire grandfather! Was this a dream? Some end-level reward from a twisted game? Kai was stunned, mind blown, unable to believe a damn thing. “Kai, I owe you an apology.” Atlas continued. “You and your mother suffered because of my mistakes. I failed to protect you two. I failed your mother” Kai stiffened. He never imagined that the life he had lived was nothing but a nightmare—a nightmare caused by someone's negligence. And that someone else turned out to be his grandfather, his only remaining kin. Kai felt his stomach twist. “Why now?” Kai's voice came out hollow. “Because we finally found you.” Atlas said. And he suddenly exhaled “I must apologize too, for all you’ve been through. As your grandfather, I’ll do anything to make it up to you.” The entire room fell silent. “That is why I’ve made a decision.” His gaze locked onto Kai’s. “From today onward, all my enterprises and properties in Dominus City will be transferred under your name.” A murmur rippled through the gathered elites. Kai’s mind reeled. He had gone from a man struggling for survival to inheriting a fortune that could shift the tides of an entire economy. A fortune beyond his imagination. And this was just the start? “Three days later, there will be a promotion dinner held in your honor . You will be officially introduced to the world.” Atlas continued. After saying that, he waved his hand. A man stepped forward. A well known man. Thane Jackson. One of Atlas’s most trusted subordinates. Thane extended a sleek black card to him with both hands. “This is an unlimited black credit card.” Atlas continued, “It has no spending limit and holds a deposit beyond calculation. But more than that...it allows you access to any high-end establishment in the world, unrestricted.” Kai took the card and let out a bitter laugh. "Already worth more than my pathetic old life." His entire life, he had struggled to afford basic survival. Now, in his hand, he held more power than most men could ever dream of. “There’s something else,” Atlas added. “Our family possesses a special inheritance-Spiritual power.” “It is rare...ancient. And only those of our bloodline can possess it.” "Awakening spiritual power grants endless energy, but," Atlas paused, his voice sharp, "if uncontrolled, it can tear you apart." Kai’s heart skipped a beat. His mind raced. The power he had felt earlier. That suddenly emerging power. Those rapidly healing wounds. Was this what they meant? Atlas nodded, as if reading his thoughts. “That’s how we found you, Kai. Your power surfaced...and I could feel it.” Kai’s pulse pounded in his ears. Atlas exhaled. “But to control it, you need a special heirloom. A piece that has been passed down through generations.” "Priceless, just one shard of its diamond is worth more than ten entire cities like Dominus City." His eyes locked onto Kai’s. “Where is it?” Kai froze, suddenly remembering the necklace. The one his mother had left him, the one he wanted to give to Astrid. He held his breath—it was still at Astrid's house!

Chapter 761: One Last Battle
The purge left the wasteland noticeably thinner.Entire sections that had been crowded only an hour earlier now had gaps running through them, with several camps already being dismantled as the people Kai had expelled gathered their belongings and prepared to leave. Some went quietly, too frightened to risk attracting his attention again, while others carried the bitter expressions of people who still believed their punishment had been unfair but possessed enough sense to keep those thoughts inside their heads. The dead were removed quickly, the wounded treated, and what remained of the alliance slowly reorganized itself around those who had chosen to stay loyal when it mattered.Emily watched all of it from the edge of the gathering.Kai stood nearby with his hands behind his back, looking almost bored now that the internal problem had finally been dealt with. Abigail was speaking with Elder Harkan a short distance away, while Vivienne stood farther off with several people from the d
Chapter 760: No Use for Cowards
That single question did more damage than the pressure crushing the stage ever could.For several seconds, nobody among the rebellion’s core moved. Then one of the men closest to the front dropped to his knees. Another followed almost immediately, and within moments the same people who had been standing confidently behind their new leader were kneeling across the broken platform and the ground below it, all traces of arrogance gone. The change was almost embarrassing to watch. A few minutes earlier, they had been shouting about strength, succession and taking control of the wasteland. Now some were already bowing deeply enough that their foreheads touched the ground.“Lord Kai, wait.”“We can still be useful.”“This was a mistake.”“We were misled.”The excuses began coming one after another.Kai stood there without expression.One of the stronger elders among them hurriedly raised his head. “The invasion is coming. You said it yourself. You need fighters. Everyone here has cultivatio
Chapter 759: Choose How You Die
The reaction did not come all at once. It moved through the wasteland in waves, beginning with those closest to the stage before rolling outward through the thousands gathered behind them. For a heartbeat there was only stunned silence, then someone recognized Kai, another recognized Abigail, and suddenly the people who had known them before their disappearance began reacting very differently from everyone else. Those who had remained loyal to Emily and the old command structure visibly relaxed, as if the weight that had been sitting on their shoulders since the rebellion began had finally been lifted. A few disciples even shouted Kai’s name, and once the first cheer broke through, several others followed, relief quickly becoming excitement.The reaction on the other side was nothing like that.Cultivators who had known Kai before but had chosen to support the rebellion went pale almost immediately. Some stopped breathing properly, while others instinctively took half a step backward
Chapter 758: The Weight of the Real Monsters
Kai, Abigail, and Vivienne stayed hidden for a moment longer.None of them moved when Emily stepped out and revealed herself to the entire wasteland. The shock that followed was immediate enough that it seemed to freeze the assembly in place. Thousands of cultivators stared at the woman they had spent the last several hours mourning, arguing over, replacing, and in some cases openly abandoning. Even the people who had remained loyal to her looked as though their minds needed a moment to catch up with what their eyes were seeing.Emily stood there calmly, her real face exposed and her aura no longer hidden, while the question she had just asked still seemed to hang over the wasteland.Why exactly had any of them thought she was dead?The broad-shouldered man on the stage recovered first.The surprise on his face lasted barely a second before something much uglier replaced it. He looked Emily over carefully, clearly searching for signs of injury, and whatever he sensed seemed to satisfy
Chapter 757: The Dead Woman Speaks
The pressure did not remain without a source for long. From the far side of the assembly, a group of cultivators began moving through the crowd, and wherever they passed, people instinctively forced themselves aside despite the weight pressing down on them. There were not many of them, perhaps a dozen at most, but every single one carried enough strength to stand apart from the ordinary elders gathered in the wasteland. At their centre walked a broad-shouldered man dressed in dark robes, his face hard and his steps unhurried, as though the thousands of people struggling beneath his aura were already beneath his authority.Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly.So this was where the loose thread led.The group climbed onto the makeshift stage without asking permission. Allen tried to move, but the pressure immediately concentrated around him, forcing his body stiff before he could take more than a step. Elder Sophia fared little better, while the Grand Elder’s expression turned ugly as he strug
Chapter 756: The Weight Above Them
The argument might have gone on for another hour if someone near the centre of the gathering had not finally raised his voice above the rest.“There is a simple way to settle this.”Enough people heard him that the shouting gradually weakened. The speaker was a broad-shouldered cultivator from one of the larger sects, not old enough to carry the same ancient weight as Harkan or the Grand Elder, but powerful enough that nobody dismissed him outright. He stepped forward when the attention shifted toward him and looked across the divided crowd.“If everyone believes they have a better candidate, then stop wasting time arguing. Let strength decide.”The reaction was immediate.Some frowned.Others became interested.Allen’s face hardened from the platform, already disliking where this was going, but before he could interrupt, the cultivator continued.“We’re standing at the front line against an enemy that understands only power. Whoever leads us should be capable of standing above the re
