From a ground perspective, imagine observing as something hangs overhead, blocking out the entire sky. The sense of helplessness from an impending apocalypse instantly fills one’s heart and soul. "It shouldn’t be ... Why is the [Pangu Axe] appearing in the Second Layer Heaven?" "Lately, have those High Sky Rank monsters been using their Lifebound Divine Artifacts in the Low Heaven Position less frequently?" "But the [Pangu Axe] isn’t the Lifebound Divine Artifact of the [Dragon’s Son]!" "In the last Ascension Competition, he used three High-Rank Divine Artifacts at the end, [Xuanyuan Sword], [Kunlun Mirror], and [Sun-shooting Bow]; are those his Lifebound Divine Artifacts?" "Yes, how can he summon such an apocalyptic weapon in the Low Heaven Position?!" The crowd was puzzled, but just as they were arguing incessantly, one person’s words took a different turn. "Regardless, China utilized an apocalyptic weapon without notification; we must sanction it!!" Upon hearing these vehement words, everyone gave him an indescribable look. The speaker immediately realized and corrected himself. "Condemn! We must condemn it!" Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly and continued with his words. "Condemnation is necessary, but the key issue is, China has already taken the lead in the DGUX-0194 Illusion Realm, not only completing territorial extension but also annexing most of Asia. Do we even need to compete with it under such disadvantageous conditions?" At these words, the room fell into silence, and after a long while, someone finally spoke. "I think... maybe there’s no need for that..." "Yes, Bharat mobilized the entire nation, claiming to have summoned millions of descenders, but it was wiped out by China within months without making any waves. The strength we can muster is far inferior to theirs..." "That’s because the people of Bharat aren’t up to the task, their peasants are too weak! But we are different..." Before the words were finished, someone immediately retorted. "If peasants aren’t capable, is Emperor Shitian also incapable? Look at the battle between these two monsters; can any country’s Holy Spirit claim to certainly overpower it?!" Watching the repeated loop of the ’God War’ on the screen, everyone in the room once again fell silent. "Alas... can’t outsmart them in words, can’t beat them in a fight, we’ll have to let it have this DGUX-0194 Illusion Realm..." Hearing this, everyone suddenly wore masks of agony. As one of the strongest forces in the real world, China making money wasn’t an issue; they had long gotten used to it. But now the problem is that China has been earning a bit too much! This is an extremely fertile, unexplored Boundless Type Illusion Realm! Just the [True Object] and [Qi Fortune] discovered so far are enough to support hundreds of thousands of descenders in cultivation, and just the [entry fee] alone is an astronomical figure! Realizing such enormous profits were being monopolized by China made everyone feel worse than if they’d been killed! "No! I need to sneak some oil before China’s virtual territory covers the entire illusion realm..." Out of habit, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed middle-aged man stopped short and quickly corrected himself. "Uh... I mean, conduct protective resource extraction!" The others gave him a disdainful glance and turned to make phone calls. "Yes, DGUX-0194 Illusion Realm, don’t worry about it, engage in excessive resource exploitation, steal... no, conduct protective resource extraction!!" In the steaming bathroom, the naked Zhu Haomiao propped his hands on the sink, body slightly bent forward, scrutinizing in the mirror the devilishly charming young man who was incredibly handsome. Is this really still me? After ascending from the Second Layer Heaven, within just a few days, his appearance transformed once again, with facial features becoming sharply sculpted and refined, perfect like an artwork from every angle, devoid of any flaws. It’s common knowledge that even if one is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, certain angles can still make them look "chubby and awkward." But no matter how Zhu Haomiao tried to look ugly now, the reflection in the mirror appeared as a meticulously detailed artistic photo, completely defying normal physical laws! Thoughtfully stroking his chin, feeling the smooth and jade-like delicate skin, Zhu Haomiao squinted his eyes, meeting the gaze in the mirror. The deep, dark pupils seemed to contain a dazzling galaxy, slowly rotating at an indiscernible pace, as if they could suck one’s soul in. Peering into a trace of supernatural divinity and charm through the "window to the spirit," Zhu Haomiao sighed helplessly. Even with only LV.4 [Lust], it’s already so exaggerated. He didn’t dare to imagine what the future might be! He fearfully imagined stepping onto the streets with countless women rushing towards him screaming... No, High Rank [Lust] Authority disregards gender and even species! At that time, men and women, cats and dogs rushing towards him screaming... At the thought of such abstract images, Zhu Haomiao shuddered, quickly shaking his head vigorously. It’s not a big problem; I can use the [Sloth] Authority to cover part of the [Lust]! But currently [Sloth] is one level lower than [Lust], so it might still reveal some supernatural charm, failing to return to the basics. With a thought, countless gray-white threads invisible to others spread and emerged from the void, wrapping Zhu Haomiao like a living being. When the threads solidified into a cocoon and merged with his skin, Zhu Haomiao looked at the reflection in the mirror once more and finally let out a long breath. Although still handsome, it was no longer with an "sinister and unruly" demonic charm, in line with the biological laws of the physical world... Staring at the young man in the mirror, Zhu Haomiao pursed his lips and nodded, then turned to leave. In an instant, countless black mists appeared around him, condensing and gathering on his skin with movement, gradually forming the outline of clothes. Finally, as he pushed open the door, a chic, stylish black suit took shape, with his once bare toes now encased in shoes, stepping on the marble floor. A little girl, carved of jade, sitting at a desk not far away, shivered when she heard the movement behind her and quickly stuffed something into her mouth. Narrowing his eyes, Zhu Haomiao darted forward, pinched her cheek, and pulled a saliva-covered phone out of her mouth. "Xuxu didn’t play with the phone~" Listening to the words of confession, Zhu Haomiao painfully massaged his brow, and angrily tousled her hair. "Confiscated until the homework is done!" "Crying won’t help, it counts as time too!" Pinching her tender cheeks in annoyance, Zhu Haomiao let go of the crying little one, walked aside, and continued to examine his own changes. With the rapid materialization of illusion power, his spirit and body were also undergoing drastic transformation. The most noticeable change among them was that his height, which had stagnated for a long time, skyrocketed once again.
