Celestial Peak Chapter 351
Advertisement
The travels of Wang Ling and his group took no longer than seven days. Their journey was quick and didn't meet any hiccups along the way.
But even though they didn't meet any trouble, Wang Ling still found something odd. Three days ago, he could again feel the thick and powerful chaos that exist everywhere. With the qi of Chaos was Angelic Qi and Hellish qi.
The thickness of qi was going down; it was not alarming or anything as he found it something as useless to him. But, it began alarming him when he realized that something might be causing the flow of chaos to scatter.
But he shook his head. If there were one such being capable of controlling a massive power such as that one, the balance of the universe would be tipped and the worlds would be endangered.
The power to affect the entire universe, oh how grand of a vision it was that it made him shudder. The pressure of having such a being exist felt like his life could be reaped any time. He threw it to the back of his mind before his worries turn into fear. But the idea was still looming over him like the dark clouds of a storm.
But for a brief moment, his worries were washed away when he caught sight of empty space. In front of them, there was nothing, but this was the end of the invisible path.
Wang Ling felt that it was strange, but when he took a step forward, he felt an attraction from both his body and blood. His body jerked forward as he felt like it was violently sucking him inside whilst making him feel like he was being welcomed back with rough enthusiasm.
Bai Xue, who was adjacent to him, showed a brilliant smile. Much brilliant than what she had shown all this while.

"Ling, finally, we are home. Hurry, we can go back again!"
Bai Xue pulled Wang Ling by the hand and then they disappeared from the Cosmic Road. A bright white light devoured the two of them whole. Inside the light, Wang Ling could feel a pulse of life; it embraced him with gentle warmth and a familiar feeling emerged from his mind.
It was nostalgic, and bliss emerged from within his mind. He held the hands of Bai Xue, and she held his, such an action reverberated within him as if it had been done before, and with this nostalgia, a surge of emotion four pair of wings and seven haloes appeared from within his body.
The mark and the lines appeared, glowing like the sun and melding with his body. His heart began to thrum, and flashes appeared. An image of a beautiful woman emerged from his memories and her words emerged from his mind.
"Let us create a paradise."
Wang Ling's mind echoed with the words of the lady. But it felt ethereal and unreal that he failed to grasp if this was actually the reality or a hallucination.
The lady extended her hands, Wang Ling was about to extend his hands and take it, but someone from behind emerged and stopped him from doing so. The voice he always from the darkness and light emerged from behind.
"Do not take her hand; she is mine, your woman is not here. We are the same, but I cannot let you take her from me."
Wang Ling turned around to see who it was, but he failed to catch his face, and he escaped that blissful world of light and came back to reality. The qi of this world once more flowed into his veins, and for some odd reason, it was a mix of nostalgia and not.

From the flow of qi, he can make out that this is the Celestial Spirit Realm. But the thickness of the qi is so much more than it was before. From behind, managed to enter the Celestial Spirit Realm as well.
Also, when he looked around, Wang Ling saw nothing but a deserted field filled with dark patches of land here and there. The aura of death was ever-present and is clinging to the world, and it was not a pretty sight.
"What happened here?"
"Have you felt it? The qi of our realm have changed, the depths of Origin World has been opened, I wish to take you to the Origin World as fast as possible but, fist, I shall take you to the Origin World, but I must first — get back!": She was in the middle of talking when the space around them began to warp.
A black rift appeared a thousand meters away and from the rift came an Abyssal Demon.
"Wang Ling, go and kill it! I can't use my strength here! Do it!"
Wang Ling didn't question her words as he was already planning to kill the Demon before him. Its kin tried to kill him before, so he now holds a grudge against its people. Besides, it was the Demon that is categorized as the public enemy of the universe.
Taking out the Reaper, Wang Ling raised its sharpness to its highest possible and then called forth the quintessence of a killing sword and slashed out without any concern for the consequences.
His sword contained the power of an Immortal. When he let out his sword roar, the undeveloped world of the Celestial Spirit Realm trembled and the body of the Abyssal Demon was separated into two parts before the ground it was stepping on was uprooted. The hills on the distance get split apart and became collateral.
But, the upper body of the Abyssal Demon remained, and it still had its head. It was an unfeeling being, having its body separated from its other half is nothing as long as it still has a breathe it will do its job.
With its white skull-like head and its dark body, it let out a horrible screech that further warped the space and opened seven more rifts.
If the first rift was around three meters tall and four meters wide, the other rifts that had just opened were much bigger in comparison.
The world trembled as Abyssal Demons began stepping out of these rifts. Before long, there were already more than a thousand Abyssal Demons before Wang Ling.
The danger of the Abyssal Demons does not lie in their strength. It lies in their overwhelming number. An Abyssal Demon is the personification of death and these demons will be born in the Abyss as long as death remains.

The Eldritch Horror Returns to Earth, but Things are a Bit Different
One day, Adam B. Windsley was in this world, and then, he wasn't. Suddenly trasported into a strange world called Lutum, Adam finds himself in the body of a small, unassuming slug, and during the course of 600 years, he evolved beyond the scope of humans, becoming one of the Five Evil Gods, worshipped by his followers and treated as a God would. But he isn't happy. And after some time reaquainting himself with humans, he finds himself enjoying their company. But, in a sudden twist of events, he finds himself back in his own world. But he is still a giant tentacle-covered monstoristy. And where did these magical girls come from?... --------- In short, this is a story focusing on a somewhat edgy reincarnated-as-a-monster kind of guy who returned back to his world on the day of his transferral, only for strange, unusual things to happen. Monsters from his past world start popping up out of the blue, and ordinary people are suddenly learning of sorcery, becoming magical girls in the process. In terms of structure, it will mostly be about what happens to Adam after coming back, but at times, there will also be chapters focusing on Adam's life before his transferred, in chronological order. In other words, very typical isekai stuff. The chapters will be between 2000 and god-only-knows-how-many words and will be released every three days at 8 am, CST. I don't actually live in America so if chapter release is off by an hour or so, it's probably either because I messed up with the time, or because I was unable to finish a chapter on time-, The artwork on the cover belongs to yours truly, I drew it myself and I'm darn tootin' proud of it, and Omni is my dear co-writer who got me this far. Couldn't do it without him! With that said, I do hope you enjoy, as I did put way too much effort into it... Enjoy!

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
