Chapter 595: 595
Shock (2)
At the Li Residence…
“Father? You’re going too?” Li Tianjun asked in surprise when he saw his father getting on the carriage too .
Grand Marshal Li was a very high-ranked official in this empire . Average matters did not require his presence . If he was summoned, it meant it was something that affected the entire empire .
“Yeah! Looks like something serious happened!” Grand Marshal Li nodded .
Within the main building of the palace, when an official stepped in, he saw Zhao Yarou was already at her seat waiting . This meant it was very, very urgent . So urgent that the empress was here to wait for everyone .
He stood in his place quietly, making no sound . They only started once everyone was present .
Very quickly, most of them were here . They all stayed close by anyway . When one arrived, everyone was almost there .
They would not delay on purpose too . Making Zhao Yarou wait would be a disaster .
At this moment, when Grand Marshal Li and the military leaders arrived, they knew it was related to the military . Were they at war with another kingdom?
Or someone was attacking them? That must be why there was such an urgent meeting!
It must be!
“Alright, everyone’s here! Then I shall tell everyone what happened!” Zhao Yarou’s eyes swept across the room . “We have to send our army to the northern part of the empire . Grand Marshal, you will be in charge of this . You must have your men in the northern region as fast as possible .
“What?!”
Everyone was surprised .
“Your Majesty, although we also want to capture the northern region, the Tanlang Group still has a stronghold there . Other military groups are unable to penetrate the region . This will just cause a civil war, the time is not right!” advised the Grand Marshal .

In the past, Zhao Yarou would agree . But not this time!
“Grand Marshal, the time is right . This is the time to take the opportunity!” she smiled, “My future brother-in-law has helped speed things up . ”
“Who? Oh, you’re talking about Thirteen? What did he do?” Grand Marshal Li knew who Zhao Yarou was talking about . There were only two brothers-in-law: the Ye family’s seventh and thirteenth prince . The only person whom she cared so much about was naturally Ye Lang .
Of course, they did not think she called him that because they were close . She would call him brother-in-law as she locked him up or murdered him .
“He has helped us kill one hundred thousand men from the Tanlang army . The Tanlang group is now very unstable, it is the best time for us to come in . We cannot let them stabilise or we’ll have to wait again,” she said gently .
“A hundred thousand? Your Majesty, what do you mean?” Grand Marshal Li didn’t understand . Perhaps he did, but he didn’t believe it .
How could he believe that Ye Lang could kill a hundred thousand people? Then what did they need armies for?
If he knew Ye Lang didn’t just kill a hundred thousand people, what would he think?
At this point, Zhao Yarou had received news about the eighty thousand people Ye Lang had blown up, plus the rest of the people they killed before that . It added up to more than a hundred thousand at this point .
“He killed them . He and Li Yue dealt with ten thousand of them in one night, using a hotel as their base . Then, he seemed to have buried a lot of bombs and traps outside the hotel and blew everyone up!” she explained .
“!!”
Everyone was shocked . If it wasn’t for the fact that it was Zhao Yarou speaking, they would have thought it was a joke . They still couldn’t believe it .

“Looks like he really didn’t want to trouble our people when he left Soaring Sky . If not, he could have blown all our people up too!” Zhao Yarou was a little shaken herself as she thought about it .
If Ye Lang had done that, she might not have gotten the throne . Losing such a large number of men would cause chaos in the nation .
“Yep! He’s an impressive kid . I believe the Tanlang Military Group must have overstepped their boundaries or he would not have done this,” nodded Grand Marshal Li .
“We can’t blame him too . From our reports, in the beginning it was because they were sexually harassing Li Yue so she taught them a lesson . Then they never learned their lesson and continued to harass her so everyone was killed by both of them,” said Zhao Yarou mildly . She had conducted thorough investigations . The Tanlang Military Group had brought this upon themselves .
“ . . . ” The Li father and son were silent . They knew Li Yue could attract some unwanted people sometimes but they didn’t know she was the start of this entire war .
“Your Li Yue is very impressive! She didn’t just survive this entire war, she even gave us such a good opportunity . At the same time, she seems to be close to breaking Tian LEvel,” Zhao Yarou said . It was not clear if Zhao Yarou was happy or uncomfortable .
“What?! That’s impossible!”
Everyone was shocked, especially the two Li men . They were clear on her fighting skills . Li Yue had just entered the Di stage . It hadn’t been a long time since they met, and now she was almost at the Tian stage .
It was supposed to be something that took people decades or entire lifetimes . Some people might not even advance past the Di stage .
“My reports are not wrong . Under Ye Lang’s training, she has reached the Tian Heavenly stage! She had killed almost a hundred Di level masters at the Moon Hotel, this is something even a Tian level fighter cannot do . ” Zhao Yarou seemed to be jealous but she maintained a very mild expression so everyone wasn’t sure .
“Is this… true?” asked Grand Marshal Li . She was his granddaughter, so naturally, he was happy for her achievements .
“You can read it yourself! Pass the documents to Grand Marshal Li and the rest . ” Zhao Yarou passed the report to a handmaiden, who passed to the grand marshal .
Grand Marshal Li was shaking all over when he read the report, extremely emotional . If he had any doubts, this document cleared them all .

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

Art of Mortality
New Synopsis after chapter 56: Long long ago, there was a mortal who despised the gods and envied the immortals. Why do the mortals have to die when the gods wish them to? Why do worlds have to perish when the gods say so? Why do only immortals get to live forever, why not mortals like him? As his family, friends, and his loved one died, he lamented. He wailed, he cried. He cursed the immortals, blasphemed the gods, spat at the heavens. But he was just a mere mortal. His curses were pointless, his blasphemous words were useless, and his spits only returned back to fall on his face. At last, he thought, enough was enough, he would definitely do something about it. He decided that it was time for the multiverse to know what a mortal can do. He was the first mortal to cultivate. Eventually, after a long struggle, he killed the Immortals, enslaved the Gods, and shattered the heavens. He reshaped the multiverse and rewrote his fate. In the end, he reincarnated as he decided upon a grand scheme, a scheme to rule 'All and Always'. He came up with the concept of what is known today as 'Paragon'. And with this, all of reality, 'All and Always', was finally reforming, according to a Mortal's Wish. Synopsis (Old): In the vast and complex multiverse, what can a mortal accomplish? In the grand scheme of things, what can a mortal change? In truth, what is a mortal, and what is mortality? Being mortal is being ordinary, the same as being trash, or so says The World. "No, mortality is an art, and a true mortal is a grand artist. Being the root of all, a mortal can become anything.", says a young mortal boy. Meet Edward Alexander, a mortal boy walking the path against gods and immortals, fighting to the end to rewrite his destiny, and change the grand scheme of things. Can he really change the grand scheme of things? Or maybe he himself is the Grand Schemer? To know the answer, follow Edward Alexnder on his journey to demonstrate the Art of Mortality.*******

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...

Artificial Selection: A Near Future Thought Experiment

Trust is deteriorating in society with the increasing frequencies of assaults, deception, and terrorism by and against the globalized national government. Michael always relies on his intellectual talent with space and perception along with some of his dauntless risk-taking spirit to escape danger in this society. However, Michael soon finds out that this situation involves way more players, variables, and conflicts of interests than he could calculate. This situation is so much more complex than a protest against unemployment, in fact it is a life-and-death matter -- the survival of humanity's civilization.
