HAGLTP Chapter 80

Faced with such a brazen slap in the face, the main system’s anger erupted completely.

That existence that dared to provoke it, capable of erasing its mark, must be an entity of equal standing—World Pillar.

It actually incited the pillars of other worlds to deal with it! And those pillars possess absolute power within their worlds.

Mo Yi, this protagonist, is indeed quite formidable; after so many years under its surveillance, he still remains true to his original intention. Clearly just a pawn in its hand, yet he always attempts to escape.

Ironically, this pawn’s plan succeeded; not only did he manage to escape, but now he also intends to overturn the chessboard.

It can’t continue like this!

All the players received a mission from the main system at the same time. The main system demanded they put everything aside and head to the designated world, assisting the plot to completion at all costs.

Along with the mission, there was also a wanted notice.

The wanted notice featured a seemingly handsome and refined man. It was an unfamiliar face, yet many experienced players felt a sense of familiarity.

They seemed to have seen this kind of demeanor somewhere—quiet and composed, yet harboring schemes. Unfortunately, the main system had tampered with their memories, and they couldn’t recall the corresponding person.

Zhang Jiuqi and Liang Boling encountered each other in a world.

One was a vagabond, the other a beggar, yet they were assigned the task of protecting the king, which sounded quite absurd.

“This mission feels strange,” Zhang Jiuqi said, huddled in a corner trying to pry open a biscuit as hard as a stone slab.

“It’s not just this mission; ever since the top group underwent a major reshuffle, I’ve felt something was off,” Liang Boling couldn’t bear to watch any longer and took the biscuit, smashing it against the wall with a loud thud.

“Those who can enter the top group, which one of them isn’t a cunning person? What kind of mission have they accepted recently? They’re dying faster than cannon fodder.”

Zhang Jiuqi nodded, recalling his new friend: “Even Xiao Lu… I thought he would eventually become the top one.”

Liang Boling finally conquered the biscuit and handed half to Zhang Jiuqi: “I don’t think he’s someone who would die so easily.”

“Inner system says (you mean)?” Zhang Jiuqi attempted to use his human teeth to combat the biscuit, but failed.

Seeing this, Liang Boling directly set down the biscuit: “My intuition tells me he might pull off something big.”

Zhang Jiuqi also gave up the struggle with the biscuit: “So what do we do now? Should we still carry out the mission?”

“We’re not in the same world, yet we received the same mission and were transported here. Perhaps there are many others participating in the mission; let’s feel it out first.”

“True, if the sky falls, there’s someone tall to hold it up. Let’s go, let’s first pick a pocket and have a good meal.”

“You still have that skill?”

“Like you wouldn’t know. You take one, I take one; we’ll fend for ourselves. I won’t treat you to a meal.”

“Stingy.”

·

The plot of the original world continued to unfold, heading towards its conclusion.

Yang Ranyi successfully passed the initial doctoral exam and was on her way to the re-examination location.

That little girl who cried on a rainy night had now grown into a confident and composed woman. The transfer student who once overshadowed her had long been forgotten in some corner that could never catch up with her.

Recently, she had clearly noticed an increase in accidents around her.

Sometimes it was a car accident, sometimes food poisoning; she would encounter madmen attacking her on the street, and even when she stayed home to study, she could face gas leaks, exploding phone batteries, and electric shocks.

She felt as if she had become the protagonist recorded on a death list in a movie, with her life filled with traps that wanted to take her life.

Yang Ranyi was no longer that helpless girl who could only cry.

With no shortage of money, she decisively chose to spend lavishly.

If her home was unsafe, she would choose to stay in the best-secured hotel. If she was likely to encounter car accidents, she would hire an entire convoy to protect her. If the things around her were prone to accidents, she hired professionals; everything that came close to her would undergo at least three layers of strict checks.

She protected herself meticulously, ensuring that no unfamiliar face could approach her.

At this moment, Yang Ranyi sat in a specially reinforced car, surrounded by professional bodyguards in black, with heavy and sturdy security vehicles in front and behind.

The way they traveled was so exaggerated it felt as if a national leader was visiting for state affairs.

Sometimes Yang Ranyi would wonder. She just wanted to study well; why did it seem like the whole world was against her?

But she wouldn’t give up.

High above, a dark gun barrel quietly raised, aiming at the moving car.

·

Ye Qi, who had been promoted to director for five years, had his new film nominated for the Trix Award, the most coveted award for filmmakers, winning it would mean Ye Qi would become the most outstanding director recognized worldwide.

He had once won a Trix Award as an actor, and this time he was even more excited than back then.

As an actor, he portrayed others’ works, but as a director, every detail of this work was polished by his own hands; the feeling was akin to viewing a child, completely different from when he was an actor.

Beside him sat Ning Si Liu; at this crucial moment, Ye Qi hoped to witness it together with her.

A warm palm covered the back of Ye Qi’s hand. He turned his head and saw his lover’s smiling eyes.

“What’s wrong? The great director is getting nervous on the plane?”

Ye Qi immediately put on a melancholic expression: “Yeah, I’m so nervous. What should I do?”

Ning Si Liu mysteriously reached into her pocket and pulled out a silly little cookie: “Here, this is my beloved since childhood; eating it will make you feel happy.”

Receiving the cookie, Ye Qi couldn’t help but laugh; the cookie figure had a frown that looked just like the expression he had just made.

Ning Si Liu laughed with him: “See, I told you—”

“Bang—”

A sudden loud noise interrupted the warm atmosphere between the two.

In the business class behind them, several tall men suddenly stood up from their seats, pulling out guns from who knows where and loudly threatening everyone.

“Everyone down, hands on your heads!”

“This plane is ours now!!!”

One of the men pointed a gun at the flight attendant: “Take us to see the captain. If you say one extra word, I’ll blow your head off.”

The threatened flight attendant feigned fear and led them toward the cockpit, but secretly exchanged glances with the hijackers.

There was a mole.

·

Lin Xuanluo had already cultivated to the Great Ascension stage, and in the entire cultivation world, he was the strongest person of the current era.

Over the years, countless geniuses had emerged in the cultivation world, yet no one dared to claim to be Lin Xuanluo’s second.

He opened his own mountain gate and established the Xuanluo Sect, accepting disciples widely. After millions of years of development, he firmly held the position of the largest sect in the cultivation world.

The name Lin Xuanluo had become a legend in the cultivation world.

Today, he felt something—an opportunity to transcend and ascend had come.

He had long chosen the location for his tribulation and now arrived at that desolate mountain, preparing to welcome the final heavenly tribulation.

The first bolt of heavenly lightning crashed down, illuminating the entire desolate mountain like daylight.

In the midst of the tribulation, Lin Xuanluo suddenly frowned.

The power of the tribulation lightning was off!

Clearly, from the sky, it looked one way, but once it entered the range of the desolate mountain, it suddenly intensified countless times, mixed with a thick aura of death.

His divine sense extended, quickly scanning the area for tens of thousands of miles.

Lin Xuanluo’s expression grew solemn; someone had set up a massive formation here, using a hundred thousand mountains as the array, with millions of living beings as sacrifices, drawing upon vitality, death energy, and resentment to amplify the power of the tribulation.

But this was just one of the formation’s effects.

Even if Lin Xuanluo survived the power of the heavenly lightning, the combined power of the heavenly lightning and the formation would be enough to kill all living beings within the hundred thousand mountains. The death energy and resentment of the millions of beings gathered in the formation would taint him, turning his ascension into demonic descent.

Whoever it was, to deal with him, had resorted to such a vicious method.

·

Rei was advancing step by step in the battle against the royal family, having already invaded the capital star of the empire.

After many years, he stepped into the palace once again.

In this magnificent palace, he had spent his childhood.

He witnessed his mother die in a conspiracy, watched his weak and incompetent father joyfully marry a scheming new empress.

In the days that followed, Rei had a hard time; the identity of the imperial prince was enough to put him at odds with the already pregnant new empress.

Soon, the second prince was born, making his situation even more difficult.

Endless oppression, repeated provocations and attacks, his father’s blatant favoritism and neglect… made this palace gradually lose its last warmth in his eyes, turning into a cold prison.

Compared to this place, the desolate star where food was hard to find felt more comfortable to him.

But all of that was in the past; after today, the master of this palace would change to him.

The once high-and-mighty new empress collapsed to the ground, her luxurious skirt spread across the exquisitely tiled floor, her hair disheveled and in disarray.

Her army had been defeated.

Her hoped-for son had died in battle.

Her puppet husband had been killed by this demon-possessed prince.

Now, Rei’s gun was aimed at her: “Go to hell, damn Teresa.”

He didn’t want to address her as Your Majesty the Empress, nor even as Madam; the demeanor he had maintained for many years as the leader of the resistance faded at this moment, and he just wanted to be that street punk who spoke without restraint.

Empress Teresa lowered her head, revealing a sinister expression on her already smudged face. She quietly tightened her grip on the signal transmitter disguised as a bracelet hidden beneath her skirt.

Before the final battle began, her trusted female officer had suggested to her to add a command to the capital star’s defense system—destroy the capital star.

Even if she lost, she could drag the prince and this planet down with her.

·

The main system’s strategy of overwhelming numbers began to take effect, with countless people piling up, searching for flaws in the plot in various ways.

There is no wall that doesn’t let the wind through; as long as one searches diligently, they can always find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Very good.

The pawns were doing well.

Look, this is its hunting ground; no matter how much effort Mo Yi and his helpers put in, it can crush their layout in a short time.

It is the invincible main system, and it aims to conquer more worlds, turning them into its colonies, continuously providing rule power.

The protagonists of the original world are about to be completely defeated.

Then, it would seek out that restless Mo Yi. This time, it would thoroughly tear apart his soul, leaving no escape, and that world pillar who dared to help Mo Yi would also become its colony.

It wanted to savor the despair of the other side when faced with the collapse of the world.

Thinking of this, every tentacle of the main system was filled with a sense of pleasure.

But then, a change occurred.

The protagonists about to step into a crisis once again welcomed a plot twist—

The sniper rifle was already aimed at Yang Ranyi’s head, the finger on the trigger about to pull.

A sudden attack from behind; a fully armed person knocked out the focused sniper.

After confirming the other party had completely lost consciousness, he opened the intercom: “Sniper point 03 has located the target, already in control, over.”

Before heading to the re-examination location, Yang Ranyi had arranged for personnel to check for potential crises along the way, surveying both underground waterways and high buildings.

These battle-hardened professional bodyguards had thoroughly analyzed where bombs could be placed, where people might hide, and where the most suitable sniper points were.

Each position had a dedicated team responsible for monitoring, ready to act immediately upon discovering suspicious individuals.

Yang Ranyi listened to the report from the bodyguard captain, nodding calmly: “Very good, continue.”

Ahead, the gates of H University had appeared before her eyes.

On the plane where Ye Qi was.

The hijackers were about to approach the cockpit when, among the passengers crouching on the floor, a bearded man suddenly sprang up, expertly seizing the hijacker’s gun. Another person seamlessly assisted him in subduing the hijacker, not letting the problematic flight attendant escape either.

The same change occurred almost simultaneously in every section of the plane; in just a few seconds, the previously arrogant hijackers were all pinned to the ground.

“Who would have thought that right after we retired, we’d encounter such an exciting thing.”

The first bearded man to jump out was dressed in a flashy shirt and shorts, looking like he was ready for a vacation, but his muscular build nearly tore the shirt apart.

Ning Si Liu couldn’t help but ask: “Retired?”

The bearded man smiled kindly, pointing to the men and women who had just stood up with him, each one muscular and looking more like hijackers than the actual hijackers: “We used to be mercenaries for ten years, and recently decided to retire together.”

“During our gathering, we happened to catch the restaurant’s anniversary celebration, and there was a lottery; I won a group international travel package, isn’t that amazing?”

Ning Si Liu clapped: “That’s incredible.”

The bearded man laughed and kicked the hijacker on the ground: “When your dad was playing with guns, you were still playing with dog poop on the ground!”

With his words, his former teammates burst into loud laughter. The laughter was loud but dispelled the lingering fear in the cabin, making the passengers feel incredibly at ease.

The plane landed smoothly, and Ye Qi safely stepped into the Trix Award ceremony.

·

Facing the torrential heavenly tribulations and the malicious formation beneath his feet, Lin Xuanluo’s brow was solemn.

The first bolt of heavenly lightning struck, and so many beings died within the formation; whether for himself or for the lives within these hundred thousand mountains, he could not continue like this.

But once the tribulation began, it would not stop unless the tribulation bearer died.

Should he take his own life for the sake of these millions of lives?

Lin Xuanluo let out a cold laugh; he raised his head, his spiritual energy surging, suddenly rising into the air, forcibly drawing the heavenly lightning to lock onto himself, then actively charged toward the direction of the lightning.

To onlookers, this act was akin to seeking death; the heavenly tribulation was a matter of life and death, yet he was willing to abandon the ground and head into the void.

A wave of divine senses expressed shock or worry, mixed with malicious scrutiny.

Lin Xuanluo’s speed remained undiminished as he escaped the range of the ground formation, meeting the heavenly lightning with his own body.

He was determined to conquer heaven and fate, stepping onto the path of immortality.

Another brilliant flash of lightning struck.

Then, one bolt after another descended, illuminating the sky as bright as day, yet Lin Xuanluo’s speed toward the sky only increased, as if the terrifying heavenly lightning was merely a gentle breeze.

Lin Xuanluo pushed his cultivation technique to the limit; the stronger his determination and the more steadfast his belief, the more powerful this technique became, even capable of shaking the might of the heavenly lightning.

Predecessor.

Lin Xuanluo silently thanked that nameless predecessor from years ago.

Having cultivated to this level, he knew that the technique on the Wuyuan Stone was anything but simple, even surpassing all the supreme secret methods he had encountered later.

He even suspected that the predecessor from back then was not an ordinary cultivator.

But rather, a true celestial being from above.

“Bang—”

A laser beam arrived just before Rei could pull the trigger, blowing the empress’s head off; the headless body fell, and the transmitter hidden beneath her skirt was exposed.

“Who?!”

Rei warily turned his gun toward the source of the voice, but in that instant, he froze like a teenager.

“Jason…”

He hadn’t seen the other party for many years; that mysterious behind-the-scenes supporter sent him a photo of Jason every year to prove that he was still alive.

But that was all; just a photo, not even a video. He couldn’t hear Jason’s voice or feel the warmth of his skin, only relying on imagination to depict the scene when they would meet.

The scene that only existed in his imagination suddenly appeared before his eyes, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

Jason put away his gun, his face also showing a bit of confusion at the long-awaited reunion. He smiled at Rei: “They assigned me a mission to come assassinate the empress; I’m not quite sure what their purpose is. I saw she seemed to be hiding something in her hand, so—”

Before Jason could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Rei, who lunged at him.

At this moment, the leader of the resistance was no longer the calm figure everyone knew but had reverted to that impulsive, rebellious youth.

“I missed you so much…”

Jason felt that the words he hadn’t finished saying were no longer important; he reached out and embraced Rei: “I missed you too.”

An annoying voice simultaneously transmitted from various worlds to the main system: “Oh dear, I accidentally flipped the script again.”

Main system: “……”

Damn.
