Soon, the car disappeared from his vision. The place behind him was still as busy, and it seemed like the closer it was to midnight, the livelier the night market would be. Standing alone under the streetlamp, the man whose expression turned solemn appeared a sharp contrast to the scenery behind him. "See you soon." He said, even though nobody could hear him. Chang Xia once again reminded him to call her before going to bed. The problem was that he had no plan to sleep tonight. In fact, he would be…-

Chang Xia's visit not only surprised Jiang Li, her greeting words also made him feel both awkward and guilty. She was right after all. Before falling asleep, he looked up her number on his phonebook. Sadly, before he could press the call button, he already fell asleep. Breaking a promise with a patron was not something a qualified kept man would do. It would leave a terrible impression on the other and would make them doubt their sincerity which could then cause a rift between the two parties. But…

After the weird but adorable girl left, the smile on Jiang Li's face slowly disappeared, then replaced by a solemn expression. As there was nothing to distract his mind anymore, as Jiang Li closed the door, he let his thoughts run freely. It took an entire millennium just to return to his world. A full thousand years, an amount of time unimaginable to normal people. Well, to be fair, it even sounded unimaginable even to the current him. Before meeting the system, if somebody told him that traveling…

Wang Yu Yan remembered that on her second day in outer space, she just woke up inside a cabin. Because the place was vastly different from where she was supposed to be, she immediately realized she was no longer in the shuttle. 'Is this one of the starships belonging to mankind?' she wondered. To confirm her suspicion, she tapped her wrist. Then fell silent upon seeing a red dot appearing on her messaging app icon. Surprisingly, she was able to connect to a network. It seemed her colleagues discovered…

Since they left, the entire region fell in the hands of the fae race. Several hours later, Wang Yu Yan looked on from a high northern mountain, watching her former home became the fae's. The vehicle shielded her from the cold and the violent gust of wind. She felt bitter, but she was not resentful. This was already a much better outcome than several million humans dying for a lost cause. She knew Jiang Li traded the territory for the time her race much-needed. The man resting at the backseat…

The skies became darker not because of the weather. Shadows covered the city from above. Ominous howling from engines and war beasts echoed without pause. Faced with a great threat that wanted to erase them from Earth, humanity also brought out their weapons, and now every inch of the land and the air was crowded with soldiers, floating cannons, ships, flying robots, and other weapons. Although caught off-guard, they were prepared to fight to death. Of course, there were still people who hoped for the…

Jiang Li's identity did not reach the ears of the other higher-ups of humanity despite everything he had done the day prior. All the people of the world knew was that a god descended to punish the fae race. This god was on the humans' side, and he had given them his blessings to win the war. Wang Yu Yan who knew the truth smiled in satisfaction as the rumors and hearsays spread. She was behind it all because she was aware that Jiang Li didn't want to be tied down by unnecessary connections. "By your…

For a whole millennium, the system accompanied Jiang Li, so it was impossible for it to not pick up a trick or two from him. So what if it was true that he was indeed scared of Jiang Li at their first meeting? The child spirit was not willing to reply. So he maintained his silence and played dead. The annoyed Jiang Li had no way to force it to talk, so he could only drop the matter and sleep for real. When he woke up, it was already almost a day later. The exhaustion must have contributed greatly to…

Nuwa's mission was a failure. There was no denying it. The proof was the people she was supposed to rescue ended up dead. She herself was poisoned, and worse, if not for the Pontiff and the Supreme General who saved her, she would have died in a foreign land, executed by lowly humans. When did she go ever through such a humiliating experience? For goodness' sake, she was a dignified daughter of a marquis! Her abilities ranked her in the top 5 of her generation. And she was a golden agent famed for never…

Thousands of miles away, Dong Lan who had just finished officiating the requiem mass for the deceased young nobles suddenly looked up at the sky. A messenger came and reported to him the ice walls in the neighboring domed city suddenly extended several thousand meters upward. "Did all the human domed cities become enclosed in that wall?" He asked with a frown. "No… Halfway at most, separating territories belonging to the north and south. Those deep into the fae territories are the ones almost…
