Magman could not suppress the dread creeping into his chest .
Slowly, he raised his head, his gaze settling on Mingyin—who answered with a calm, infuriating smile.that seem to be out of this world
"Go forward, Magman."
Mingyin said pointing forward
Magman let out a heavy sigh, as a dull headache throbbing behind his temples.making him sweat even more
The ring of flames began to spin once more, yet it remained unseen, completely sealed behind a small wall of white jade.
His thoughts churned as he tried to guess what outcome this strange game would bring. Yet one thing was certain—Mingyin was scheming.
It seems this game relies entirely on guessing, Mingyin thought. I can't be sure whether I'll win or Magman will.
Still… he's the one who created this game. There's no way he doesn't have a trump card. It can't be this hard to guess
Suddenly, Magman's eyes widened.slowly something came up to him
He raised two fingers.
"Two."
A faint smile curved Mingyin's lips as he lightly tapped the jade wall.feleing excitedly happy
In an instant, flames burst downward, tearing through the smoke before stopping just short of his nostrils.
Magman's expression stiffened.
"It seems… I was wrong. In the end, it all depends on fate."
Mingyin leaned forward, shaking his head slowly.
"This game is unique, but boring. I want to add some new rule. To even hype the game more up "
He looked at Magman with open disdain smile
"Your games are bland. Even a six-year-old could do better."than this magman the fraud of the century
Magman scratched his head, a rare trace of embarrassment surfacing around him
"Shut up! Unlike you, I'm already immortal!"so your are not worth to be near me !
Mingyin's eyes darkened, hatred flashing within them.
"Would you shut up? You're nobody. Why would I care? I didn't know an immortal would compare himself to a mortal."use that brain of yours
Magman turned his head away, his embarrassment deepening.
"Watch your mouth, brat. Be grateful I haven't killed you. Otherwise, I'd have beaten you to death the moment you insulted me."Hmp!
Mingyin raised his brown eyes, his expression cold.as he lean back as he snorted coldly
"What do you mean? Why are you threatening me? I'd rather be killed by my own family than die at the hands of a fraud."who could not even beat some big bulky guy ?
Magman stood up, a cold smile forming on his face.he hesitated for some second as he breath some air to fill his lungs as he spat out loud
"And what are you going to do about it, huh?"
Mingyin pressed his lips together, then pointed at them.
"You see this?"
He pointed again.
"You see this?"
Magman felt the urge to curse aloud.
Yet Mingyin continued, pointing downward.
"You see—"
"Enough! Shut your fucking mouth, you brat! Hmph!"
Magman's killing intent surged violently, boiling like an erupting volcano.as Mingyin could feel the whole chair started to shake
But magman quickly forced himself to calm down.
"Hehehe… you're just a brat cultivating without no achievement how can you obstructed me ?, hehehe."
Mingyin lowered his head, a trace of sadness flickering across his face. He casually rubbed his ear and tilted his head.
"Huh? What? I couldn't hear you."
Magman flinched, his fist clenching tightly.
"No mortal has ever disrespected me like this…"
Looking away, Magman suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Mingyin by the collar.
"What will you do when I tear your limbs apart with my wind attack?"
Mingyin calmly scratched his chin.
Then he opened his mouth again, pointing at it.
"You a—"
"AHHH!"
Magman shouted as Mingyin abruptly pulled away from him.
"Hey," Mingyin said lightly. "You failed the round."
Magman froze, his eyes darting toward his seat.
Then he looked forward again.
Don't tell me… I was tricked just by being provoked?
"MINGYIN!"
Magman's fury exploded. He wanted nothing more than to beat Mingyin to death—crush him into the earth, shred him with wind until not even his bones remained.grinding him to meat piece
Mingyin merely nodded.
"Why are you like this, Magman? And please don't try to kill me. People might investigate this place if you do. Besides, I have no intention of dying."
Magman slammed his foot into the ground, roaring at the top of his lungs.
"What are you going to do, huh?! Brat! I'd rather beat you to death like the stupid ant beneath my feet!"
Mingyin looked away, confusion flashing briefly across his face.
He staggered back, pretending to be angry. For a moment, Magman felt satisfied—until Mingyin spoke again.
"Why would I bother arguing with a stupid rascal? I'd rather be beaten by my mother than beaten to death by a failure."
Magman began to tremble, his body shaking as he glared downward.
"MINGYIN—"
…
Mingyin could be seen walking on grass away with a happy epression
Magman's face twisted into complete darkness.
To think that he—the great Magman—had been humiliated to such an extent.
With a furious roar, he reached out and seized a nearby tree with his bare hand. The trunk shattered instantly, splintering apart as if something had torn through it from within. The sharp screech of breaking wood echoed through the area.
The earth trembled.
Soil erupted into the air, trees collapsing one after another as violent winds swept outward. If an immortal were to witness such a scene, they would instinctively retreat several steps.
Magman cursed under his breath.
"I only wanted to defeated Mingyin so I could prove to the entire crowd that I, the great Magman, had discovered a mortal among us and seized his two artifacts. The price may be steep… but those artifacts were truly powerful back then—and they still are."
His fists tightened, veins bulging.
"I have no choice but to work with him. If I break our agreement, he'll expose everything. To the crowd even if I expose him as mortal he like a sweet flower in the crowd "
"Mingyin…"
Magman fell silent, his thoughts churning like a raging storm.
From now on, I'll have to endure dealing with him every day. If I don't… hmph.
With a sharp wave of his sleeve, Magman turned away and returned to his tree house.
—
Mingyin walked in the opposite direction, a faint smile lingering on his lips.
"Tomorrow, we'll search for a Treasure Core. Once we have it, we can prepare for the mountain. If I want to obtain the Spirit of the Mountain and the legendary artifact… I'll need to scheme against everyone."and then I be hunted down
These thoughts flowed quietly through his mind.
If we enter openly, someone will definitely violate the rules of the Six Realms.
That has to be the final round.and everbody would be for themselves
Mingyin sat beside a patch of grass and let out a long sigh.
"I need supporters—urgently. But if I rely on others too much… I'll forget who I once was on Earth."I am not one who rely on othere
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"…Who was I on Earth?"
He exhaled softly.
"I was nothing special. Just someone living an ordinary life."
His gaze dimmed.
But I once
"had children with my wife. She was… beyond this world. And very and very patient with me she was kind she might not be the most handsome and might look average but she was enought
But they all died."
My kids my wife
Silence stretched.
"I was shattered after they died. And then… I went to another world."
A bitter smile appeared.
"And now… I'm here."
Mingyin leaned forward, clenching both fists.
… who was I really on Earth?"
…
Near a vast pool, the water was stained crimson.
A carp leapt from the surface—only to be seized midair. Its body was crushed instantly, flesh splitting apart as its organs spilled free.
The Future Overlord stepped into view.
He leapt out of the pool and landed on the nearby grassland.
"Damn it… not even a Soul bead ."
He tossed the mangled corpse aside and turned away.
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed behind him.
"Mingyin has successfully recruited Magman."
The Future Overlord froze.
He reached up and grasped his mask, flames burning fiercely within his eyes.
"As expected."
