Chapter 71: Silver hairTranslated and Edited by: La0o9
Bai Hua Palace
Bai Hua Fairy sat on her ten thousand flowers throne, slowly releasing all the hand seals she had casted.
On her head of hair full of life, one strand slowly turned into a silver color for no apparent reason.
Perhaps noticing it, Bai Hua Fairy lightly tilted her head, and the strand of silver hair was hidden among her others, unnoticeable from outside.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t notice this.
He only looked in awe at the Forgetting River that’s slowly disappearing from the sky, unable to say anything.
This type of Divine Skill can really strike anyone speechless, leaving a deep impression on any cultivator.
This is what a peak Divine Skill can do?
Bai Hua Fairy so easily dealt with numerous Beast Saints, yet she herself was still thousands of miles away, the group of Beast Saints couldn’t even see her face.
No wonder she said that Sainted realm is still only the beginning.
When, will I also reach this height?
As Gu Qing Shan silently thought to himself, a blood-red light appeared in front of his eyes.
On the War God UI, the blood-red light flew around a bit, then turned into lines of text.
“Time flow is once again in chaos, the user must immediately return to his world, otherwise the spacetime anchor will lose its effect forever”
“If the user chooses to stay in cultivation world, he will be unable to return to his world again”
“To stay or to leave, please choose carefully”
You really call this a choice?
Gu Qing Shan sighed tiredly, choosing the “leave” option.
He took a glance at the Destiny Quest.
The Quest description still says “in progress”
Looks like Gong Sun Zhi still isn’t out of danger yet.
Luckily, since Bai Hua Fairy is personally dealing with it, Gong Sun Zhi will definitely survive.
There probably won’t be any problems with the Destiny Quest.
The next time Gu Qing Shan comes here, time will still stay at this exact moment, so he won’t miss anything.
And then, he’ll be able to finish the Quest.
Finally, Gu Qing Shan glanced again at the disappearing Forgetting River.

A thought crossed his mind.
If this world has 6 Paths of Reincarnation, then what about the real world?
Then a light flashed.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared from Bai Hua Palace.
The Freedom Confederate.
Capital outskirts, in an empty field.
Gu Qing Shan appeared.
All the cultivator clothes he was wearing disappeared, stowed in his Inventory Bag.
He was now wearing his regular modern clothing.
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
The Floating Fire speed shuttle was no longer seen.
The entire area is wild and desolate, even in the sky there’s hardly any shuttles passing by.
“Ah? Where’s Anna?” Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
He was sure Anna would stay right here, waiting for his explanation of why he suddenly disappeared.
However, thinking about it, Anna grew up in a royal family, so she would have all the chances in the world to meet all sorts of strange powers, something that makes a person suddenly disappear wouldn’t be too strange.
But then, where is she going?
The Life Exchange Contract is too valuable, so the quicker he return it to her, the better.
His trip this time to the cultivation world could be considered a success, Bai Hua Fairy herself is helping him, even using such a great Divine Skill, so his mission to save the two of them is as good as done.
The only thing to worry about would be that he’s going to join the famous Bai Hua Sect. Now that he’s over the excitement, this sect was extremely mysterious, completely unknown to any outsider in the past life.
Which means all his knowledge of the sects and his experience dealing with sects will no longer be usable.
He can only go step by step.
Gu Qing Shan looked up at the sun, then took a look at his personal Holo-Brain.
“200km away from the capital, the Floating Fire’s performance really is stellar”
Gu Qing Shan wryly laughed, having no choice but to go on foot, headed towards the direction of the capital.
Just where did Anna go anyways?
He couldn’t help but ask himself that question.
In reality, Anna originally wanted to wait for him right here.

But as she was flipping through the intelligence her subordinates gathered, she suddenly remembered there was something important that she had forgotten.
Capital University.
On top of the highest campus building.
Anna was standing on a fence, arms crossed, her eyes frowned looking below.
With her personality, she couldn’t even sit still for 20 minutes to wait for Gu Qing Shan.
She doesn’t know where he went or when he’s going to come back, plus Anna had other things on her mind and was extremely curious about a certain person, so it didn’t take her long to decide to fly the Floating Fire straight to Capital University.
Three female students wearing new Capital University uniform walked across the campus.
One of them had healthy white skin, exceptional facial features and a calming aura that unconsciously give people a good impression of her.
Anna stared incessantly at that female student, as her eyes scanned her from top to bottom again and again, she muttered with an annoyed voice.
“Hmph! Only her breasts are a bit bigger than mine, her figure isn’t anything special”
A shadow under Anna’s feet spoke: “Your Highness, you’re a princess, while she’s just a daughter of one of the 9 Lords, she couldn’t possibly measure up to you in status”
The three female students were leaving the campus, about to go outside.
“Stupid, why would status even matter here? After all, he’s not the type to suck up to power” said Anna.
“Then you mean?” the shadow can’t quite understand.
“Hmph, I was late, and she had time with him over their 3 years of high school together, so this is a disadvantage that I have to recognize” Anna’s eyes showed a hint of loneliness.
But the loneliness didn’t last very long, instead quickly turned into fighting spirit.
She rubbed her chin a bit then suddenly asked: “Huo De, if I were to beat her in a fight, do you think she’ll give up and retreat?”
The shadow seriously thought about it for a moment, then answered: “That might not necessarily be the case, but you’ll definitely cause a serious international diplomatic problem”
Anna dropped her hands and contemplated: “It would huh, seems like we’ll have to compete in a peaceful manner then”
The shadow secret wiped his sweat, immediately agreeing: “Yes, peaceful is good, peaceful is good”
Anna’s eyes lit up: “You also agree? Then let’s go with that, she and I will use no powers, just our fists to determine who’s the winner”
The shadow shouted: “Your Highness, that’s not different from a fight!”
As they were talking, suddenly the female student picked up her personal Holo-Brain, then returned to campus alone.
“Yes, which major are you in, professor? Which activity?” Su Xue Er looked down at her Holo-Brain and politely asked.
While walking, Su Xue Er suddenly disappeared.
“Hm?”
The two people standing on top of the building were surprised.
“Huo De?”
“I can feel it, a shadow-type barrier”
“Assassination?”
“Please wait, I’ll go confirm”
The shadow left, then quickly returned.
“They’re from Bloody Club, one of them stopped me just now”
“Bloody Club? Dirty rats those guys, seems like it’s really assassination”
Anna squinted her eyes.
“Go, let’s go save her” she swung her fist and declared.
“Your Highness, don’t you consider her an enemy? Why not just stand and watch?” the shadow asked.
“Your damn shadow Skill changed you into a wicked person as well or something?” Anna turned around and mocked the shadow.
Her crimson red hair flowed in the wind, a clear annoyance could be seen in Anna’s eyes.
The flame starts quickly coiling around under her feet, as thin as a piece of string.
“If I want something then I’ll take it fair and square” Anna stepped on the shadow on the ground, “Just stand and watch her getting killed isn’t my style”
She jumped out, shouting: “Huo De, we’re going!”
“Understood, Your Highness”
As Anna jumped out, Gu Qing Shan had only walked for about 10km.
Then he stopped his feet.
Within this desolate mountain area, there was a small-sized Spaceship parked there with its door opened.
Someone is waiting for me?
Gu Qing Shan suddenly had that thought.
Then, his personal Holo-Brain turned on.
Impartial Goddess’ voice was heard from inside.
“Confederate Highest Leader, Gu Qing Shan, in accordance to the citizen list of privileges, I have a duty to report to you the newest situation”

The life of a teenage hellworlder
We've all heard of the trope that Earth is a deadly planet by galactic standard; and has thus honed humanity into a ruthless species bent on surviving at all costs. As it turns out, that trope is true. Sapient species that evolve on safe planets develop to be peaceful and compassionate - and the ones that do on dangerous ones become violent and selfish out of need - usually wiping themselves out. But obviously, not every violent species drives itself to extinction - resulting in them being feared and ostracized - including humans. The life of a teenage hellworlder is a sci-fi slice of life story that revolves mainly around Thomas, a sixteen-year-old New Britannian attending a Xeno high school, who befriends a lonely apex predator named Javqua. Getting written by two amateur teen writers, things may sometimes be inconsistent or be confusing - feel free to comment and point out these problems. Gore, profanity, and traumatizing content tags are only for minor events in the story and do not happen often. Chapters are around 1k - 2k words - pretty short, but that's because we're all busy with our own lives and school. Trust us - we would gladly upload 5k word chapters if we could. We tend to upload new chapters every Saturday or Sunday. Please consider supporting us on Patreon!

Museum of Deadly Beasts
Lin Jin never imagined he would ever transmigrate. And to such a peculiar world at that. Here, deadly beasts were regarded as sacred, and thankfully, he owned a museum for deadly beasts. “Master, this is just a dying little tortoise…” “What tortoise? This is a rare species that contains the blood of a Black Tortoise and could be promoted up to level seven.” “What about this shedding mongrel?” “Mongrel? How narrow-minded. This is a branch descendant of the snarling hound with a hint of Kirin’s blood. Take my word for it and sign the blood contract at once. I guarantee you that you’ll soar to success and be on your path to invincibility!”

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

All resources were exhausted, and hope was all lost. When three-player chess that will decide the lives of billions of people was at its zenith, a portal appeared in the sky. Monsters, bigger than the biggest animal, harder than the hardest metal poured out of the abyss... Putting aside their differences, humanity united to fight against their common enemy. But the weapons were ineffective. The most powerful weapons of science could not do even the slightest bit of damage to monsters. While desperation reigned, science prevailed, and laser weapons were born. The first blood was spilled... The first monster was killed! However, it wasn't laser weapons that allowed humanity to win the war, but a piece of orb found in the monster's brain. When supplied with electricity, the orbs would turn into pre-determined objects. These orbs turned into weapons that could damage monsters, and the more monsters were killed, the more weapons were found. With the newly looted weapons and the determination of humanity to get rid of this disease, the monsters were pushed back. At that moment, a messenger flew from the portal in his radiant form. An Artificial Intelligence produced by the native race living in the Portal World... Called Mother AI by humans, this object used the miracles of the alien world to help humanity close the portal. With these miracles, humans awakened superpowers to fight against monsters. An unfortunate teenager, Miles Cross, was born with dormant Ancient Genes and failed to awaken his superpower. Instead, he used every means to get stronger...

Revenant
Everyone dies. Not everyone gets back up again afterward. The Deep Paths are a cursed place, meant for those similarly cursed souls whom the gods themselves denied the sweet release of death. Revenants haunt the underworld, wielding forbidden powers and often consuming those who lack the strength to join them. At least, that's the story that parents teach their kids up on the surface. Reshid can't remember what he might have done to deserve such a fate, but he learns quickly that there is more to undeath than the gods and their faithful preach to the living. Revenants have a unique connection to essential magics that allows them to develop their powers in extremely diverse ways. Wherever there is power, though, there are those seeking to wield it, whether they be governments and gods from above, or mythical elder races from below.
