Jasmine said proudly, “You have some knowledge. Master indeed comes from the upper world. He is the son of a Yang Spirit!”

A son of a Yang Spirit! In the upper world, any sacred land was guarded by a Yang Spirit.

She shouted coldly, “Since you’re aware of Master’s identity, kneel immediately!”

Qi Yuan sighed. “I just put down an arrogant upper world fool three days ago, and now there’s another. Haa... Has the upper world’s moral climate deteriorated this badly? I better hurry up and go to the upper world. I need to cleanse the air there.”

The man suddenly shouted, “Still pretending to be crazy?!”

His voice carried a powerful soul attack, enough to shake even Mythics. Then, he turned around, revealing a familiar handsome face.

Qi Yuan grew furious. “You bastard! You’re using my face!”

Jasmine said reverently, “You’ve already fallen under Master’s Soul-Seizing Technique. Why bother struggling? Master will enter your dantian and devour your soul, before occupying your sea of consciousness and take everything you have!”

Qi Yuan snorted. “Is he worthy?”

The man was extremely confident. “My father personally modified my spiritual body. I can even possess a Mythic who reflects across the heavens easily!”

Once, he had flirted with Lord Moon God in the upper world. She killed him across two layers of heaven in one blow. His father paid a huge price to repair his soul and modify it, placing it inside the Heavenly Kun Mirror. Unable to remain in the Nine Heavens after offending the Lord Moon God, he descended to the lower world. By chance, the mirror brought him to the legendary Canglan World.

Now, the Divine Moon Palace and Taihuang Palace were at war, with the former steadily losing advantage. Even though he wanted to return to the upper world, not even his father could retrieve him from Canglan. Thus, he planned to seize the Blood-Clothed Sword God’s body and return by himself.

“A mere Step Six dares resist me?” he shouted, his spiritual body rushing into Qi Yuan’s dantian.

Qi Yuan said, “Fine, I won’t resist then.”

Jasmine smiled. “Those who know the times are wise. Serving Master is the greatest honor of your life.”

In the next moment, his spirit fled out like a rabbit, screaming, “AAAH!!! What is this?! NO!!! DEMON!!!”

In less than a breath, he was already tattered and full of holes, his eyes filled with terror. He had seen something unimaginable. Inside Qi Yuan’s dantian, there were more than four thousand Nascent Souls. As if that wasn’t enough, each of them emitted an aura ten or a hundred times stronger than his. If anything, rather than Nascent Souls, they felt like four thousand Mythics about to become Yang Spirits!

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes. “Don’t run! I’m interested in your memories too. I want to see whether the upper world’s atmosphere is really that rotten.”

His dantian trembled. The fleeing spirit froze and was dragged back inside by a massive suction force.

“NO—!” the figure screamed miserably. “What kind of monster are you?!”

The scene before him exceeded all understanding. Even if his father came, he wouldn’t understand.

“I’m not a monster. I’m a civilization pioneer!” Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes. “Back-Facing Man, for the sake of improving the upper world’s moral climate, please die!”

Four thousand Nascent Souls trembled simultaneously. Under the overwhelming pressure, all the man’s pride and arrogance vanished. His modified spiritual body shattered instantly.

A vast flood of memories poured into Qi Yuan’s mind. He murderously glanced at Jasmine. “So you were the one who killed the messenger in front of me last time. You two really were a perfect pair.” 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

“You... What did you do to Master? Let him go!” Jasmine stared at him in pain and fury. Her anger turned into pleading as tears streamed down her face. “Let Master go! You can do anything you want to me!”

Still, Qi Yuan showed no hesitation. “Die.”

Her soul was torn out and perished with the man.

Qi Yuan’s gaze grew deep. “So he really is from the upper world... and he offended the Lord Moon God...”

***

In an unknown place, Qi Yuan’s Primordial Seed had sprouted.

Adjusting her glasses, a woman in a white lab coat said softly, “Severe delusions, extremely severe... Keep this certificate carefully. It qualifies him for welfare.”

She placed a certificate marked “Severe Mental Illness” on the table.

A trace of pity flickered in her eyes as she looked at the young man before her, Qi Yuan. He had lived a rather tragic life. His parents had died in war. He had been raised by robots since childhood and had developed mental illness.
