I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 593 You actually saved the best for last (26)

Knowing he was cursed, Chen Yu was initially a little panicked, but he calmed down after figuring it out.

Even after seeing his negative emotions begin to rise sharply, he rubbed his chin and suddenly felt that it wasn't such a big deal.

The advantage of the Heavenly Demon Body lies here: the more you dislike me, the more excited I become.

As Chen Yu watched the negative emotions escalate, he even began to feel that this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Even if it's a matter of cause and effect, it doesn't matter. At worst, we can just lose money to avoid disaster. It's not unacceptable.

However, Lian Qu, who was standing to the side, didn't think so.

As she realized the curse was drawing ever closer, she noticed that the area around Chen Yu was even becoming distorted due to the curse, which made her heart skip a beat.

Is the Earth Deity Star Lord really that ruthless?

So what if he beat up your temple keeper?

Moreover, as expected of the "Big Star Lord" who controls thirteen media outlets, he has a whole host of overt smear tactics against Chen Yu, and behind the scenes, he has said countless bad things about Chen Yu, eventually building up to the scale he has today.

After thinking for a moment, Lian Qu said firmly, "Chen Yu, don't move here. I'm going to find the Earth Virtue Star Lord."

"Why would you want to see Him? Haven't you two been at odds lately?"

"I can't just watch you like this! Don't worry, leave it to me, I can handle it."

"Leave it to me! It's part of the plan!"

"What do I care about this bullshit plan? I'm not agreeing to let you take the risk! What will happen to Tianyuan if you die?"

"I'm not going to die!"

The two started arguing, and Jiang Qiao tried to mediate. Amid their quarrel, dark clouds loomed over Tianyuan, and the displeasure of the Star Lords finally descended.

In Fukuzawa City, next to Tianyuan City, Chenghua stood on the roof of his private apartment, looking at Tianyuan shrouded in dark clouds, and smiled with satisfaction.

His teeth have been installed, and even replaced with the latest prosthetics. When tapped at a specific frequency, they can emit blue light, allowing him to remotely control his small puppets.

As a great star deity, the Earth Deity's temple provides excellent benefits. He receives subsidies for business trips, and injuries are considered work-related injuries, which allows him to replace his long-desired dental prostheses.

Even so, the hatred of being publicly humiliated and then kicked out like trash on the street still made him grit his teeth whenever he thought of Tianyuan.

I just want to hit you, why won't you let me?
This is disrespectful to the Earth Deity!
The Earth Deity is a great star deity, and I went through countless hardships to finally become the temple keeper for him. Instead of kneeling to please me, you even dared to lay a hand on me—this is utterly outrageous!

But seeing the spiraling black clouds, Chenghua's mood improved.

The media war has finally shown its effects, and the Star Lords' disgust has turned into a curse. Even if Chen Yu is as powerful as a prodigy, he is like an ant before the Earth Virtue Star Lord!

Finally, divine punishment descended, triggering a certain cause and effect. The land near Morning Light Co., Ltd. began to shake, and a black, ink-like curse spread out, continuously extending towards Chen Yu.

Then they rushed towards Tianyuan's Dream server, dashing all the way to the latest event dungeon, and landed on the dungeon boss, the masked man.

"Eh?"

Chenghua opened his mouth wide, speechless for a long time.

How could this be?
Chen Yu, did you prepare a scapegoat doll in advance?

Fortunately, although most of the curses surged into the dream, some remained here, preparing to fulfill the karmic consequences of this incident.

With wide eyes, Cheng Hua watched this scene with anticipation, only to be met with a sight that tore his heart apart.

The calamity remaining in Tianyuan was revitalized by the curse.

They intertwine and merge with each other, giving birth to new forces.

This power existed between reality and illusion, and was subsequently attracted by the dream server, which also existed between reality and illusion, before flowing into the server and merging with the dreams within it.

"Eh eh eh?"

Staring dumbfounded at everything before him, Cheng Hua was stunned. Although curses take many forms, this was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

I've never seen anything like this before.

While he was in a daze, he suddenly realized what had just happened.

The calamity has vanished.

The curse also disappeared.

The entire Tianyuan is now calm and peaceful, with fertile soil. The complete dissipation of the calamity has made the air in Tianyuan fresher and has also carried away the filth remaining in the soil.

Most of the Tianyuan people didn't know what had happened; they could only feel their shoulders suddenly relax and their breathing become easier, which filled them with energy.

A few people who knew what had happened stared in astonishment outside, and couldn't help but whisper, "Chen Yu, did you arrange this too?"

What terrified Chenghua even more was that he had messed things up.

The reason Chen Yu was asked to close the dream was to allow the Earth Deity Star Lord to deal with the calamity here. Now the dream has not been closed, the calamity has not been removed, and instead it has merged with the dream.

Before he could figure out how to explain everything here, he felt a terrifying will descend upon him.

A sound like thundering drums rang out, the ground began to tremble, and the powerful Star Lord descended directly to his side, causing Cheng Hua to kneel on the spot in fear.

With trembling hands, he reached out and took out a green talisman, sticking it to his forehead to block the Daoist aura of the Earth Deity Star Lord. Then he prostrated himself and said, "Star Lord, I, Cheng Hua, kowtow here."

The unseen force remained silent, merely watching Chenghua below with cold indifference.

Cheng Hua didn't look up; he just kept lowering his head, even grinding it into the floor, mixing his flesh and blood with the dirt without stopping.

After a long pause, a voice as cold as reinforced concrete rang out: "Look what you've done."

“The sinner has nothing to say.”

"I'll give you a chance to make it up to them, are you willing?"

Although it was a question, the Earth Deity Star Lord's tone left no room for negotiation.

Upon hearing this, Chenghua broke out in a cold sweat and tears, and said in fear, "I'm willing."

The next instant, Chenghua felt himself being grabbed and pulled down forcefully.

The sky grew farther and farther away, while the earth grew closer and closer. Soil from all directions surged in like quicksand, completely enveloping him.

His physical body decayed in the soil, and his primordial spirit hatched in the soil. The intense pain made him scream in agony until he found himself in a completely new world.

The rules of the world began to reshape his primordial spirit, leading him to discover that he did not exist in reality, but came from a place that was half dream and half reality.

He is currently in a dream.

Moreover, it happened within the dream world of the "Journey to the Abyss" event.

A wealth of knowledge flooded his mind, and he learned the underlying knowledge of various dreams. The villains in the dreams instantly became his servants, and together with the thirty-seven corrupted cities, they became his territory.

He seized more than a dozen different decks, replacing the original Masked Man, making him instantly realize his current position.

I am the Demon King!

Turning around, he saw the masked man looking at him blankly. The players, who were preparing to deal with the masked man, were also looking at him, unaware of what was happening.

Ignoring the other players, Cheng Hua pointed at the masked man and grinned maliciously, saying, "Finally found you, Chen Yu's scapegoat. Attack!"

The black-clad prince, Zhao, unleashed a punch that struck the masked man squarely in the face, shattering the mask and revealing his true face beneath.

Upon seeing the real people inside, all the players watching the live stream gasped in unison, then started taking screenshots and saving them.

Morning light...

You actually saved the best ones for now!
