Dao Of Heaven

Chapter 528: If We Keep Looking at Each Other Like This…

Illustrators, like authors, were only human—which meant delays were inevitable.

Completing the illustrations for a single volume already took a long time. Add in the possibility of delays, and it wouldn't be surprising if a book scheduled for release next year got pushed back to the year after.

Kotomi Izumi went straight to Mrs. Yuigahama, and the two of them decided to finalize the new project's illustrations in advance and start drawing the next day.

That way, by the tim...

Chapter 616: Durandal’s Choice—Not Good at Deception

Vrrrmmm—!

The noise of these unfamiliar new craft immediately drew the attention of everyone around Bridgehead Base's airfield.

In the corridors, footsteps slowed. Workers on the runway also gathered curiously, moving closer, even pressing together for a better look.

"Check out those beasts of steel—so damn beautiful! Woohoo—! I can't wait to kick those blue-skinned monkeys' asses!"

"With you? The guy who pisses his pants every time he sees a Na'vi? Thes...

Chapter 546: Big Trouble

"Could this ancient ruin actually be a military base? This clearly looks like a storage hall for robots!"

Staring at the neatly arranged robot army, Mirei Shinohara once again voiced her amazement.

Shiraori nodded in agreement, her beautiful crimson eyes flickering with excitement.

In her past life as a hardcore gamer, Shiraori had always been fascinated by robots and similar things. If possible, she even wanted to bring one out of the ruins to play with.

Unfortunately...

Chapter 301: The Winners Hold Court, the Losers Become War Criminals

"!!!"

"???"

Stunned, astonished, bewildered…

People realized that the man before them, in just a few words, had decided the fate of two civilizations.

Like a lofty judge passing sentence.

And the conditions he proposed were, to humanity, nothing short of absurd.

"…."

After a brief silence, what followed was a wave of outrage sweeping across the world.

"You want us to surrender to the Starsea Empire?!"

"And abandon all dignity, becoming...

Chapter 300: The Black Beast Tide Floods into the Star Rail Universe

"So it's that great universe."

Aether's eyes widened, then quickly calmed, though deep within them flickered intense emotions.

Before arriving in Teyvat, he and his sister had already traveled through many worlds and even several great universes. Among them, the strongest was that very universe—the one where the Aeons dwelled.

And now, at last, it was time to annex that universe.

When the Aeon of Elation invaded Teyvat, he had already known that Lord Heavenly Princip...

Chapter 52: A Dangerous Place

Half an hour later—

Watching yet another captured ninja take poison and die, Ai Tachibana frowned and shook his head at Ranzuki. "They came prepared. It seems there's no way to extract information from them."

Ranzuki rolled her eyes. "Don't you guys use genjutsu when interrogating ninja?"

Taki Tachibana explained, "These shinobi disrupted their own chakra flow with a forbidden technique the moment they were captured, putting themselves in a chaotic state. Standard genjutsu...

Chapter 51: Ambush

In an inn within the Valley of Clouds and Lightning—

"Today's the day we agreed to meet with those two big guys, Ai Tachibana and Taki Tachibana. I should be getting word from them by now." Ranzuki couldn't help but find their work efficiency lacking. Back in Satsuki's castle, there was never such a thing as discussing a single matter for several days.

"With Lady Satsuki's wisdom, her decisions are always correct. All we need to do is execute them." She was happily lost in this ...

Chapter 50: The Brute’s Way of Thinking

Impossible!

Seeing this scene, Taki Tachibana's heart tightened. At the start, their clash could still be considered evenly matched, but in the following exchanges, the opponent had truly used only one hand to repel his elder brother.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he never would have believed it.

Ranzuki herself, however, was unconcerned. Even setting aside her true strength, which far surpassed the current shinobi world, this body alone—having stepped into the S...

Chapter 49: Crossing Hands with Ai

"STOP!!!"

The voice was like thunder from the sky, the force like a dragon bursting from its mountain pass.

Before this sudden, overwhelming storm of lightning, even the imposing presence of Taki Tachibana paled in comparison.

Fortunately, Taki's earlier strike had only been a probing attack—its chakra and force could be reined in. At the last moment, he withdrew his offensive.

Still, judging by the cold sweat on his face, it was clear the newcomer before them left q...

Chapter 140: Gift or Poison

Atlas – San Bernardino Base, California.

Inside the massive, fortress-like building housing the R&D division.

Clang.

—[403 Exo Research – Surgery in Progress]—

The warning light above the door had been lit for fifteen minutes.

While Vela performed the cybernetic implant surgery for Mitchell, three armed MPs stood guard outside the mechanical gate. Taking advantage of the downtime, Gideon walked over to a wall-mounted folding chair, pulled it ...

Chapter 221: Herrscher of Ice—Where’s My Newbie Protection?!

In a certain mountain forest in the far north.

Elias and Sakura were walking forward, the latter like a samurai serving her lord, leading the way and slicing apart every Honkai Beast in sight with Frozen Naraka.

"Sakura, shouldn't it be my turn to take point by now?"

"No need. I haven't expended much energy, and these Honkai Beasts are too weak to warrant your personal effort. Let me handle them."

Sakura turned with a gentle smile.

Like a pink cherry blossom bloo...

Chapter 527: Don’t Work Too Hard, You’re Still Just a Child

Tomoka Yuigahama often unintentionally revealed an adorable, almost girlish side, and whenever Kotomi Izumi saw it, her heart would honestly skip a beat.

Mrs. Yuigahama's orange hair was tied into a braid—Kotomi didn't know the exact name for that style, but it gave off a gentle, graceful vibe. She wore a well-fitted nightgown, and the pale skin exposed to the air was like a ripe peach.

That was the charm of Mrs. Yuigahama—occasional playfulness and cuteness that made her seem...

Chapter 615: Beyond the Mountains and Seas Lies a Village of Blue Smurfs

Pandora.

Under the light of the gas giant in the Alpha Centauri system, the lush landscape mirrored Earth's tropical jungles by day, but at night, the ground was bathed in an enchanting blue glow.

The tranquil moonlight shone upon this alien land teeming with life, casting an air of peace.

Over 98% of Pandora still remained covered in its original forest.

Even though outsiders had been working relentlessly to mine the precious Unobtanium beneath Pandora's surface, a mi...

Chapter 545: Ancient Ruins

"Sorry, but we can't accept your invitation. Compared to saving the world, we have something more important to do."

"Of course, after we finish that, we might consider joining you."

Mirei Shinohara didn't make things too absolute—after all, she wasn't sure whether Shiraori, after evolving into a god, could take someone out of this world.

If she could, then all would be perfect.

If not, then for the sake of ensuring Eriri could live a better life in this doomed world,...

Chapter 300: You Are All Insects

The Human United Fleet could not comprehend what had just happened.

The space navy was far too reliant on so-called advanced technology.

On every starship's radar display, there was no sign of the massive warship's movement.

Technically, it was invisible to everyone.

Logically, a starship the size of the Moon should have caused obvious disturbances to other planets in the star system.

Yet it had no gravity at all—neither gravitational wave detectors nor radar c...

Chapter 299: Abyss, Begin Your Annexation

Lumine was overjoyed.

The Master of Law—a rank above even Almighty God.

Even holders of the Pseudo Star Map Creation could only reach Almighty God, their final limit being single-universe level.

But the Master of Law was a truly ultimate existence, transcending the limits of the universe itself. While not on par with the Master of Truth, within the boundless superdimensions they could still overturn countless great universes with a mere flip of the hand.

Though she s...

Chapter 48: Assessment

At this moment, Ranzuki had already stepped into the Valley of Clouds and Lightning.

It was her first time traveling such a long distance alone.

Since gaining self-awareness, Ranzuki had lived a life of strict seclusion, rarely venturing beyond her quarters. Her only previous journey outside the castle was when Satsuki had taken her to the desert city.

At all other times, Ranzuki had devoted herself to training in sage arts and familiarizing herself with the abilities of the...

Chapter 47: Fusion

Once she had this realization, Satsuki naturally wouldn't let such inspiration slip away.

Under Candle Nine Yin's protection, she sat cross-legged again, preparing to actively absorb the sage land's energy, now branded with the Candle Dragon imprint.

The Tenseigan's insight into energy granted Satsuki a fine perception of the power around her.

These originally pale-blue streams of natural energy gradually transformed into gold under the change brought by the life imprint. 2025-08-14 15:00:17 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 46: Sage Land Imprint

In her original plan, she intended to refine the natural energy sealed in her forehead, then fuse it with her Ōtsutsuki chakra to generate new sage chakra.

However, something unexpected occurred in the process.

The vast amount of natural energy she had absorbed from the Tenryū Heart Cave was incompatible with the natural energy of her current location. The two types of energy repelled each other.

In other words, it was as if she had absorbed natural energy from Ryūchi Cav...

Chapter 45: Traversing Time and Space

Seeing this information, Satsuki thought for a moment before calling forth the dormant system in her mind.

The system responded sluggishly, "Host, you rarely take the initiative to contact me. What new question do you have this time?"

"What's the next world?"

One sentence from Satsuki caused the system to crash.

Same formula, same flavor.

After a while, the system finally recovered and replied, "Host, what do you mean by that?"

"I don't have the time to was...

Chapter 139: Vela's Reputation Within Atlas

"I've met Gideon and Mitchell's team."

"The best? Perhaps. But I'm generally skeptical of all ultimate weapon programs and extreme super-soldier projects. Industrialization, mass production, and scalability—that's always been the core of my philosophy. Honestly, I hope they aren't the best—just capable of constantly getting better…"

Tap, tap.

Wearing a custom single-ear earpiece, Vela walked slowly through the blood-splattered villa hallway, holding a PDA in o...

Chapter 220: The Herrscher of Ice Got One-Shotted~!

"Now this is rare—why aren't you clinging to Elias today? Elysia, did you finally get dumped?"

"That kind of thing could never happen, not even in a dream, my dear Mobius! There's no way my Elias would ever dump me—impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Elysia waved her hand with full confidence.

But the next second, something seemed to occur to her.

Her expression changed. She lowered her head and began drawing circles on the ground, her dejected demeanor so out of p...

Chapter 526: Yui Doesn’t Even Know I’m Going to Her House!

"Oh, is that so? Looks like if I want to hang out with Izumi-san on the weekend, I need to make a reservation even earlier," Ruriya Hojo said half-jokingly.

Hearing this, Yui Yuigahama, who was following behind Kotomi Izumi, had a vivid change in expression—like a little dog who'd been lazily enjoying the sun, eyes half-closed, suddenly springing up in alarm, worried someone might steal her owner away.

Without thinking, Yui reached out and tightly grabbed Kotomi's hand.

Ko...

Chapter 614: Busy Inside and Outside the Empire

"Pandora… Pandora, signal lock confirmed, database star map comparison… location identified as the southern constellation, Alpha Centauri triple star system. Comparing with the solar system as an exploration expansion reference anchor point… rough estimate: distance is 4.24 light-years."

"This location…"

A blue-skinned humanoid race, nearly three meters tall.

As Selene skimmed past the brief report and began reading the full exploration report, an image of this subsp...

Chapter 544: The Demon Lord’s Invitation

"Uwah, what's Mom doing here?! Did she come all this way just to deal with me, the one that slipped through the cracks?"

"But geez, Mom looks terrifying… If I hadn't followed the Appraisal-based evolution path, would I have ended up like that too?"

"Thank goodness, praise be to Lord Appraisal and the Voice of Heaven! Otherwise, I'd have no face left to meet Eriri!"

Even as she ranted furiously in her mind, Shiraori's face remained perfectly expressionless.

She didn't...

Chapter 299: The Giant Steps into the Children’s Playground

In the following days, Setsuna gave everyone time to familiarize themselves with the situation.

The Heroic Spirits and Spirits were generally uninterested in this kind of hard sci-fi world—their specialty was magic, and fighting space wars with alien fleets on an astronomical scale was hardly their forte.

A few dragon girls simply said, "Call us when it's a magic world," and dove into the library to research the remaining two neighboring worlds.

The shipgirls and science-s...

Chapter 298: Radiating Across the Cosmos, Lumine the Master of Trailblaze

As Athena's words fell, she gently tapped the ground with her star-and-moon staff.

The Pseudo Star Map Creation—Zodiac—instantly unfurled, and the aura of another universe spread throughout Mount Olympus.

The Zodiac represented the paths traced by the sun, moon, and stars across the sky, as observed by humankind. The ancient sages who observed the heavens attributed the movements of celestial bodies to the power of the gods—each star and celestial body a divine incarnation.<...

Chapter 44: Super S-Class Bounty – Suzuki Kaguya

After her discussion with Candle Nine Yin about the Six Paths Treasured Tools, Satsuki secluded herself in the castle laboratory. She wasn't only reorganizing the future laboratory to be rebuilt at the Ryūmyaku, but also refining her plan for creating the Hyūga clan—laying it out into a workable process.

Regardless, creating a brand-new clan required one thing above all: enough resources to allow for trial and error.

Following the castle and laboratory expansions, her funds ha...

Chapter 43: Six Paths Treasured Tools

Just after returning, before Satsuki could decide how to arrange Ranzuki, she received a message from Shirakumaru.

She recalled that she had previously assigned him, via the Giant Tenseigan, to infiltrate the Uchiha clan. His mission: to reveal the identities of Indra and Asura to intensify the feud between the two clans, ensuring her plans could proceed.

This time, however, Shirakumaru brought unexpected news.

"Might Hui?"

The name sounded faintly familiar. After pres...

Chapter 42: Candle Nine Yin

After the slash, the entire sage land before Satsuki began to crumble completely. In the area cut by the Earth Wheel Reincarnation Destruction, the very fundamental laws of existence were distorted.

The entire sage land had begun to self-destruct and disintegrate.

"Host, this space is extremely dangerous. I recommend immediate relocation."

In her mind, the system's voice rang out after a long silence.

"No rush."

After replying to the system, Satsuki raised her ha...
