The 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 766: Beyond Earth

    Kai immediately looked toward the sky as though asking whatever power existed above him why his life kept turning in these directions. “Of course it does.”Emily stared at him while Abigail’s lips twitched again, but Zora continued before either of them could start teasing him. “Marriage is not the only recognized bond. Soul contracts, Dao partnerships and several ancient cultivation agreements would also work. But considering the relationship between the three of you, marriage is the simplest and most stable option.”Kai slowly lowered his gaze. “The three of us?”“Yes.”Emily folded her arms. “So now I’m supposed to marry him because some strange realm might otherwise decide to assign him another woman?”Zora raised a brow. “Would you prefer that?”Emily opened her mouth, paused, then closed it again.Kai immediately began fighting a smile.She noticed.“Don’t.”“I didn’t say anything.”“You were about to.”“I was breathing.”Abigail sighed quietly, while Zora shook her head at the

  • Chapter 765: Another World

    As everything finally settled and the wasteland began learning how to exist without war, Zora appeared again.As usual, there was no warning, one moment, Kai was standing beside Abigail and Emily near the remains of the old command area, watching workers dismantle another section of temporary housing. The next, space twisted a few steps away and Zora walked out of it as casually as though she had merely stepped through a doorway.Kai looked at her then he sighed.“No.”Zora stopped.“I haven’t even said anything.”“You appeared.”“And?” Zora raised her brows “You never appear when good things are about to happen.”Emily immediately laughed, Abigail, however, looked more carefully at Zora.There was something different about her expression.Normally, Zora arrived wearing that annoying look of someone who already knew exactly how much suffering Kai was about to endure and intended to enjoy every second of it. This time, however, the amusement was there only faintly. Beneath it was some

  • Chapter 764: After the Last War

    The war was finally over.For the first time in years, nobody woke expecting the portal to open.There was no emergency bell in the middle of the night, no injured cultivators being dragged toward the medical tents or formation masters running around shouting that another defensive node had collapsed. The portal itself was gone, leaving only scarred ground where it had once stood and an enormous silence that felt almost unnatural after so many years of noise.At first, nobody really knew what to do with that silence.Then someone suggested a feast and that was all it took.By evening, the wasteland looked completely different from the battlefield it had been only days earlier. Huge fires burned across the open ground, tables had been dragged out from every surviving camp, wine appeared from storage rings that people had apparently been hiding through the entire war, and several of the dead beasts were already being cleaned and roasted.Kai watched one enormous piece of beast meat turn

  • Chapter 763: Three Days at the Gate

    The time for the battle finally came.By then, nobody needed to be called twice. The remaining cultivators had already gathered across the wasteland in the formations assigned to them, weapons ready, pills distributed, damaged equipment replaced and every defensive array pushed to full strength. The internal chaos that had nearly torn them apart only a short while ago was gone, replaced by a tense silence as thousands of eyes remained fixed on the portal ahead. Even those who had survived several invasions could feel that this one was different. The distorted space around the portal had been growing more violent for hours, and now the sealed surface was twisting so badly that streaks of dark energy kept bursting across it like cracks in glass.Kai stood near the front with Abigail beside him, both completely calm compared to everyone around them. Emily, Elder Harkan, Allen, Elder Sophia and the Grand Elder were positioned farther back with the command groups, while Vivienne and Jian

  • Chapter 762: Through the Portal

    They returned to the house not long after leaving the assembly behind, and for the first time in hours, the wasteland outside felt almost strangely quiet. The rebellion had been cut out before it could spread any further, the remaining cultivators had been given clear orders, and everyone now understood that the next problem would not come from inside their own ranks. It would come through the portal. Kai barely had time to sit down before another set of footsteps approached, and moments later the Grand Elder, Elder Sophia, Allen, and Jian entered together.Jian was the first to properly look at Kai.His brows pulled together almost immediately.“So when exactly did you two come back?”Kai leaned into his chair with the relaxed expression of someone being asked about something completely unimportant. “A while ago.”Allen stared at him. “A while?”Kai nodded.The Grand Elder’s eyes narrowed. “You returned and didn’t tell anyone?”“Well…” Kai rubbed his chin, pretending to think about h

  • 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
