"World Script, one thousand points?"

Ye Fan discovered a special item in the Chat Group Mall, and it caught his attention.

He had originally been troubled over how to cultivate, but the Mall contained countless cultivation techniques.

Chaos Art, Great Celestial Art, Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang, 89 Mysterious Art, Heaven Devouring Magic Art, Basic Qi Refining Art—it had everything, though the points required were a little expensive.

Not only were there techniques, but also Primordial Purple Qi, Pangu Essence Blood, Pangu Spinal Cord, Pangu Eyes, Pangu Hair, Ancestral Witch Essence Blood, Peaches of Immortality, golden pills, Elixirs of Immortality...

Ye Fan sighed at how hard Great God Pangu had it. Everything on his body was being traded. Who was so immoral, constantly fleecing Great God Pangu?

Jokes aside, Great God Pangu's things were truly useful. A single drop of essence blood could send him soaring.

Unfortunately, he could not afford any of them.

The World Script, meanwhile, revealed every past and future event in a group member's world, limited to one's own world.

It did not cost much—one thousand points was enough.

But Ye Fan did not even have one thousand points. Points could be exchanged for treasures from his own world, but even if Ye Fan sold everything he owned, it would not amount to one thousand points.

The World Script drew Ye Fan in as though it possessed some kind of magic. He desperately wanted to know the course of his world.

"Chat Group, can I buy it on credit?" Ye Fan asked tentatively.

"Yes. Owing one thousand points requires repayment of two thousand points."

"That's way too shady. The interest is actually the same as the principal?" Ye Fan said.

"The Chat Group reserves the right of final interpretation. Transactions follow the principles of fairness and voluntary participation; they are non-mandatory."

"...Can't there be a discount?" Ye Fan asked again.

"No."

"Is there a time limit?" Ye Fan asked.

"No. Once a group member's point balance is sufficient, the Chat Group will deduct the amount automatically."

Hearing that, Ye Fan let out a breath of relief. With no time limit, did that not mean he could repay it whenever he wanted? That was rather humane.

"Put it on credit," Ye Fan said directly.

Immediately, his balance became negative two thousand, while a World Script appeared in his storage space.

Ye Fan impatiently opened the script, his expression focused.

This was different from reading a book. The script's information flooded into his mind in an instant, countless scenes appearing before his eyes as though they had been engraved into his DNA, vivid and lifelike.

"Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, Mars Obscuring the Heart, Big Dipper, Dark Turmoil? Great Emperors, Immortal Realm!"

Ye Fan recalled the script, still wanting more. He always felt that it had not yet ended.

"Chat Group, why do I feel like there's more to the story? What happened after reaching the Immortal Realm?" Ye Fan asked.

"The script only covers all stories and background information from the era in which the host resides. For other stories, additional points are required."

"I..."

Ye Fan was furious. So he had only read part of it? It was not even the complete version.

But he soon came to terms with it. These stories were already enough.

If he followed the script cautiously, then at worst he would become a Red Dust Immortal.

What he feared was the script changing. The butterfly effect was terrifying.

Even the slightest change could alter the future.

That was the price of knowing the future, and Ye Fan did not regret it.

"I wonder when Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin will arrive. According to the script's course, the first disaster will be Mars. What if I can't deal with Crocodile Ancestor? What if I'm crushed to death by the coffin on Mount Tai?" Ye Fan's thoughts ran wild.

"Maybe I should avoid Mount Tai and not go to the Other Shore of the Starry Sky, just cultivate in the city? With the Chat Group's resources, I could still grow stronger. No, according to the script, Earth seems to have Cultivators too, especially in the West, with Immortal Platform experts no weaker than those of the Big Dipper.

"Besides, what if I run from fate, and Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin lands right at my doorstep?"

Ye Fan muttered without pause. When he looked at the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine again, it no longer held any interest.

Supergod World, Juxia City.

The new group members were digesting the information. Xu Yi temporarily exited the Chat Group. This time, a true powerhouse had joined. Willow God was quite strong; he would find time to spar with her and challenge his own... limits.

Xu Yi headed to Juxia City University. When he drove to the entrance, someone blocked his way.

"I didn't want to come. She insisted on challenging you."

Qiang Wei got off her motorcycle. Beside her, Di Lena stepped out of a green truck, her face full of pride and confidence.

"Who would have thought? Last time we met, I thought you were an ordinary person. I didn't expect you to be able to suppress Sun Wukong." Di Lena spoke bluntly.

"You want to be suppressed too?" Xu Yi asked.

"I couldn't ask for more." Di Lena smiled.

"...What kind of wild nonsense is that?" Du Qiangwei fell silent, speechless.

Ding! Side Quest triggered. Accept Sun Goddess Di Lena's challenge and defeat her. Upon completion, receive a reward of Three Thousand Points.

The Chat Group's voice rang out.

Three Thousand Points? Isn't that too little? Make it thirty thousand, Xu Yi thought.

The Chat Group fell silent, choosing not to respond.

This host was somewhat demonic. He was clearly a Cultivator, yet he possessed the ability to touch and strike her.

"How should I suppress you? Me on top and you below, or you on top and me below?" Xu Yi asked.

"Pah! Who told you to suppress me like that? I'm still a pure girl, okay? I don't even have a boyfriend. How am I supposed to find one later?" Di Lena snapped.

Only afterward did she realize the ambiguity in Xu Yi's words.

"How stupid does a god have to be? This is supposed to save the world?" Qiang Wei was driven mad.

"Oh, my apologies." Xu Yi nodded.

"If you're really going to fight, don't do it here. Juxia City isn't big enough for you to tear apart. Find an open, uninhabited area. I can't open a Wormhole Gate wide enough for you." Qiang Wei reminded them.

"Let's do that," Di Lena said.

"I have no objections. Oh, Qiang Wei, help me ask for leave. I have class today," Xu Yi reminded her.

Qiang Wei had forgotten that Xu Yi was still a university student.

On the outskirts, amid mountains in an uninhabited area.

Di Lena and Xu Yi stood ten meters apart, facing one another, while Qiang Wei watched from nearby.

In truth, the Super Soldier Company was secretly observing this battle through satellites.

Du Kao, Lian Feng, Yu Qin, Sun Wukong, and Jess stood beside the computers.

"The Sun Goddess is definitely going to lose. If even Old Sun couldn't handle him, what makes her think she can?" Sun Wukong said.

"Wukong, Leina may not match you in combat skill. But she is the Sun Goddess. The Sunlight within her is one of the Three Great God-Making Projects. Her energy is immense, and her destructive power is the greatest," Du Kao said.

"Hmph, Old Sun is strong too. My energy isn't weak either," Sun Wukong said.

On the battlefield, a layer of dark-gold Black Armor covered Di Lena's body, all of it transported through a wormhole.

The Black Armor had not yet been put into use. Di Lena's armor was still from Blazing Sun, brimming with ancient style like that of a female general from antiquity.

Sword in one hand and shield in the other, she looked valiant and heroic, her presence surging like a rainbow. "Can we start?" Di Lena asked, somewhat excited.

This was the person who had suppressed Sun Wukong. If she suppressed Xu Yi, that would be the same as suppressing Sun Wukong.

Then what excuse would Pan Zhen and the Blazing Sun ministers have left to call her a little girl—immature, childish, unable to protect herself?
