"What farewell dinner are you talking about?! Why are we acting as if we're afraid of them?"

Doreen stood in the shop and began to curse before gloomily walking into the backyard and sitting at the stone table.

Grayson was also enraged, exclaiming angrily, "If this is a farewell dinner, I will not touch a single bite! If you've something to say, just say it!"

Fifi and Marilyn entered through the other door and overheard their argument.

Chad finished the last dish and brought a food container, which he handed to Marilyn. He said, "This is for Matilda. From now on, you'll be in charge of sending her food. There's enough for two, so keep her company!"

Marilyn left after taking the container. Chad said, "This is a farewell dinner for Temple Road. Only seven families remain on Temple Road. This might be the last dinner while this place is still Temple Road. Temple Road may no longer exist in Bloomington. That's why this is a farewell dinner!"

Everyone fell silent.

    Chad returned to his room after seeing Marilyn off and took the two diagrams Meran and Seis had given him.He recalled being forced to use his Clairvoyant Eye when he faced Balaro.Chad felt controlled and helpless.He picked up the Golden Crow Diagram and began to meditate and breathe, feeling a burning sensation in his forehead.As Chad entered a state of inner observation, a burning sensation spread throughout his body.Meanwhile, the Dragon Veins of Hacniane diagram emitted a purple light that enveloped Chad's body.The Diagram of the Golden Crow, hanging in front of Chad, emitted a sun-like light that shone directly onto his forehead.Chad's body was enveloped in purple light, which transformed into feathers covering his entire body. He resembled the Magpies from the legends, who were said to wear magpie plumage.The golden crow's shadow and nine golden dragons appeared in the sky above the Hall of Herbs.Meanwhile, Balaro, who was in the Cloud Nine Tower suite, felt a ca

    As Balaro spoke, a large black butterfly appeared in the suite and landed on the back of his hand."You're here!"The black butterfly gently flapped its wings before landing on the painting in Balaro's hand. Bolero smiled as he saw the butterfly, his expression full of joy.Despite the excellent soundproofing in the suite, the people living next door—Ayo, Shuten, and Yondu, who had just awoken—could hear Balaro's laughter.The laughter shocked them, and they went completely silent.Ayo was taken aback and silently reminded herself to be extra respectful the next time she saw Matilda.The night passed without incident, and morning arrived.Chad awoke from his meditation and exhaled deeply.Feeling refreshed, he glanced at the Diagram of the Golden Crow in front of him. At that moment, he felt like he had been enlightened.The so-called Clairvoyant Eye enabled individuals to see things that ordinary people could not.In the Clairvoyant Eye's world, everything emitted different

    Just as Marilyn was wondering why Ayo was there, she saw Matilda and Ayo exit the elevator."Thank you, Ms. Kato, for your kind invitation. I'll be there tonight."Marilyn wore a mask and sunglasses, and she watched from a distance. She waited for Ayo to leave before catching up with Matilda."Matilda, why was she here?"Matilda turned to Marilyn and said distractedly, "She was asked to come on someone's behalf. She said Mr. Yamamoto invited me to a banquet. I'm no longer the president of Bellenuite, but she remembers me. She's quite thoughtful."Marilyn handed Matilda the lunchbox and said, "Here, Chad asked me to bring this to you."Matilda took the lunchbox and smiled. "How's he doing?"Marilyn responded without thinking, "He's... He has Suri, Yara, and Ivy. Fifi from Treasure Trove is also there. He must be feeling great with all those beauties around him."Marilyn realized she had misspoken and immediately shut up.Matilda came to a halt, and jealousy rose within her. Her

    "Yes! We're already divorced. It's my fault. I shouldn't have come here to disturb you!"Matilda's eyes turned red as her voice choked. She then turned around and quickly walked away from Treasure Trove.Soon after, the roar of a car echoed down the street as Matilda drove away.She departed as quickly as she arrived. Tears blurred Matilda's vision as she came close to hitting pedestrians several times.She did not even know how she got home. She wanted to tear up the paper that contained the prescriptions and methods.Matilda considered a possibility—perhaps Chad did not leave it.So Matilda looked to where she found the paper, and there was some information that Nathan had given her a long time ago.Nathan probably sent it to her after she divorced Chad when he learned that Matilda wanted to work in the medical industry, and Matilda might have simply left it there."I thought it was from you, but it was actually from Nathan. Chad, you have disappointed me so much!"Matilda l

    "Dr. Jennings, please take a look at my son. Tell me what's wrong with him." Chad did not look at the child and instead turned to the caretaker, Mrs. Dunning. She was in her 50s, thin, and emitted a faint bluish-gray aura.So Chad asked, "Where's the child's mother?"Martin looked embarrassed. He said, "Forgive me, Dr. Jennings, but the child's mother is actually my girlfriend. I couldn't marry her due to her status, so I bought this villa for her. She gave birth to my son not long after that."Even though my family has been introducing me to many wealthy heiresses over the years, I've remained faithful to her."But lately, we've been arguing more and more, and two months ago, after a quarrel, she left without a word. Since then, my child has been getting sicker. Even though we've seen many doctors, his condition has continued to worsen. And…"As Martin spoke, the child lying on the sofa let out a nearly beast-like roar. The child then got down on all fours, clutching the couch wi

    The caretaker let out a strange laugh that sounded like a toad's croak. The skin on her body peeled off like an orange peel, revealing a hideous and aged face beneath."I see that you've recognized me as a Corpse Tailor. That means you're no ordinary person!"Martin screamed in terror, questioning the monster in front of him, "Who are you? Where's my girlfriend and my child?"Chad said coldly, "Can't you see it yet? This is the retaliation of the Saffronesians against the Conrad family. Your woman and son have long been dead!""What?!" Martin finally understood why Chad brought up the incident of the family preventing the Saffronesian Corporation from settling in Summer six months ago, "But this is Hacniane! How dare they—"Martin was almost out of his mind, roaring as he charged toward the monster in front of him, but Chad stopped him.The monster cackled as it took a few steps back, returning to the direction where Chad had previously seen the dense black light."Let me formal

    Chad looked at the lifelike doll in front of him, then turned to Martin and said, "That's them."Martin knelt on the ground in shock. At that moment, he was utterly overcome with sadness. He could not even cry because he felt suffocated.Martin was well-known in business circles as a playboy, so who could have predicted that he would be so devoted?Who would have thought that all of his actions were just a carefully crafted persona?Neighbors who heard the gunshots reported it to police, and officers arrived shortly.When Liam saw Chad, he asked for a detailed account of what had occurred and examined the angel doll in the utility room.After a thorough examination, they discovered a female skeleton inside the doll and a child's skeleton inside the smaller one. Skinning, dismemberment, and deboning were punishments reserved only for the most wicked.Martin could not believe what had happened to his loved ones. Meanwhile, police officers discovered several bags of frozen minced m

    When she heard Nathan's name, Matilda looked at the paper in her hand and revised her opinion of him."Really? That's great! How much do you want to invest?"After a brief silence, Martin said, "Matilda, I'll invest any amount you need and whenever you need it. You have my support."Matilda was surprised. After Jojo's betrayal, she knew no one would be nice to anyone without ulterior notice. Their kindness would always come with ulterior motives.So, Matilda asked, "What are your conditions? Do you need me to do something or give you something in return?"Matilda tightened her collar, knowing men usually only wanted a few things.However, Martin said something unexpected, "My condition is that regardless of how successful your company becomes, I must own at least five percent of the shares."It was a strange condition. It was as if Martin was confident that Matilda's new venture would succeed. So, Matilda asked, "Is that all?"Martin remained silent for a moment before saying,

    As Chad sat in meditation on Decaying Peaks, a faint, glowing white immortal crown slowly appeared behind his head. When that immortal crown manifested, a quake occurred everywhere outside Mount Causabour. The frequency of those tremors was extremely high, and everyone could clearly feel them. The vast area they covered included the entire Hacniane. It was as if some ancient seal in the vast sky had been triggered.Chad opened his eyes in shock amid his breakthrough, realizing that the impending heavenly punishment seemed to be directed at him and the millions of mystical beings beneath Mount Causabour.Suddenly, a thunderous voice erupted in the sky, as loud as a bolt of lightning:"Cut off the road to the heavens, seal the underworld; a red banner halts a million immortals, and a red star exterminates ghosts and demons!"Sever Yggdrasil, raise the grand array; a handful of Evergrow blocks the celestial river, and the vast multiverse bows to humanity!"By decree, this is a real

    Sir Holt anxiously looked up at the sky as the tribulation clouds suddenly began to churn violently.Crack! Crack! Crack!At that moment, the first bolt of heavenly punishment finally struck.However, that bolt of divine lightning fell upon the mirage of the Mystic Archive, where it disappeared without a trace. The entire Mount Causabour shook a few times, and everyone could feel a soothing sensation within the mountain.Anyone who felt this would experience a surge of confidence deep within, and any discomfort they felt in their bodies seemed to improve significantly.On Decaying Peaks, that sensation was even more pronounced, and more and more people began to manifest the immortal crown behind their heads. In just a few minutes, nearly everyone on Decaying Peaks, hundreds of people in total, had an immortal crown appear behind them.That included Flynn and Harvey, who were sitting on the outskirts of Decaying Peaks. They, too, had immortal crowns appear behind their heads.How

    Sir Holt and Zayan looked up at the sky with expressionless faces, though their hearts were in turmoil. Within the rolling clouds, faint traces of multicolored light shimmered.As time passed, the colorful lights appeared more frequently, as if gradually consuming the clouds."Such intense ascension light—there must be tens of thousands ascending!""There are probably more. The latest statistics show that 264,777 people have entered Mount Causabour!""Over 260,000? How did so many people get here?"Zayan looked at Sir Holt in shock, and Sir Holt turned his gaze toward the winding mountain road leading into the area."There are still many more people outside trying to get in, but the place is already so crowded that they can't fit."Zayan looked with concern toward the entrance to the mountain. "Won't those stuck on the road cause a disturbance?""They won't!" Sir Holt said with certainty. "Unless they're fools, they've probably already started meditating where they are. Even if

    Among the 250,000 people, quite a few were not actually autistic patients. After sleeping for two full days, Chad woke up and realized that possibility. He carefully considered the potential issues that might arise during the process and decided to issue an announcement."The treatment will begin shortly. Non-autistic patients are advised to leave the Mount Causabour area to avoid unnecessary complications."That announcement was broadcast three times through loudspeakers positioned throughout Mount Causabour. Finally, the loudspeaker voice declared, "The treatment will officially begin in one hour!"At the same time, Chad made his way to the Decaying Peaks, the summit of Mount Causabour, where an over-century-old pavilion stood.Entering the pavilion, Chad sat down in a meditative position. Soon, he noticed a dense crowd gathering around the pavilion, all sitting in meditation poses around him.As Chad glanced over those people, he recognized several familiar faces. The people ar

    Mount Causabour Medical Center, built halfway up Mount Causabour, was a sizable palace-style complex with three courtyards. The center was constructed along the mountain's slope, extending all the way to the base of the Decaying Peaks. Flynn and Harvey were placed in the innermost courtyard, suggesting that their grandfather, Fenton Cooper, likely knew some inside information but had not shared it with his grandsons.On that day, the Hacniane Cabinet issued several announcements. First, they created separate legislation for ability users and cultivators to regulate their powers. Second, they planned to designate special zones in each city for ability users and Mystics, separating them from ordinary people. Lastly, they urgently introduced the Sixteen Temporary Rules for Ability Users and Mystic Practitioners to regulate their behavior.Those announcements seemed like they were aimed at restricting ability users, but in reality, they were meant to reassure ordinary people, ensurin

    A massive leap in the realm could bring unimaginable fortune to the dragon vein, potentially altering Hacniane's fate.That was also Chad's grand gift to the two elders, using the sudden surge in the dragon vein's power to help Hacniane avoid the impending catastrophe triggered by the nuclear explosion of the firmament.Earlier that day, through Chad's Clairvoyant Eye, he saw Kennington shrouded in a faint gray-black mist. Chad did not know what it was but felt it resembled Evergrow, yet not quite the same.However, Chad was certain that accidents would surely happen if ordinary people were exposed to it in large quantities. As a Mystic, he could already feel its effects on his body.At that moment, Sir Holt got into the car, looking at Chad with a solemn expression. "Kid, give me the bottom line!"After careful consideration, Chad laid out his thoughts. Upon hearing them, Sir Holt began to tremble. According to Chad, he would need to mobilize at least 100,000 troops to ensure the

    Having a Mystic Archive and unlocking a Mystic Archive were two different matters. Only a handful of people were recorded to have a Mystic Archive throughout history. There were only two earliest verifiable individuals with documented works still in existence.The first was Hugo Gerant, a renowned physician from an ancient empire, a practitioner of Mystic Therapeutics, and an alchemist. His surviving medical works include The Hundred Letters, Gerant's Emergency Treatments, and the famous Embracing Simplicity.After his death, several notable physicians throughout history have inadvertently inherited his Mystic Archive, but none have fully inherited it. It was said that Mystics knew the method to obtain Gerant's Mystic Archive a thousand years ago, but that knowledge had since been lost.The second individual is Damian Lotin, a figure from another ancient dynasty. He left behind many works, including one titled The Whisper of the Blue Plant.Aside from them, other people who possess

    Chad gave them a cold smile. "Extract the immortal bone to cure the illness.""No! Absolutely not! I won't allow it!""Me neither. There's no way we can let that happen!"The entire room erupted into panic. Some even tried to attack Chad, but they were quickly subdued.Chad looked at them and said, "Then tell me the truth.""I'll speak! I failed my tribulation and fell from the celestial realm. I used to have nine crowns, but now I'm down to five...""And me! I also fell from the celestial realm after failing my tribulation. Now I only have three crowns...""I disguised myself as one of the wounded soldiers and was brought here. After losing all my cultivation, I've since regained two crowns!""I was brought back from the firmament by my husband. After we arrived here, I lost all my cultivation and never practiced again. We had a child later, and he was perfectly normal, but I never expected my grandson to..."As those people spoke, Zayan and Sir Holt were stunned! Those peopl

    "You know the cause of the illness?"Zayan was shocked, almost in disbelief."Do you realize this child is the same age as you? Even your master examined him but couldn't find the cause!"Chad nodded and said, "But I do know, and I have a bold theory—that the cause of autism in all these children might be the same..."As he spoke, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Chad's mind, shocking even him, leading him to say, "And I suspect this might be related to the increasing number of ability users and cultivators over the past century!""Really?!"Zayan grabbed Chad's arm, hardly believing what he was hearing.However, Chad spoke with firm conviction, "It's very likely true, but I need to see more children with autism.""Wait here; I'll make arrangements right away!"Soon, Chad and his group arrived at the largest hospital in Kennington, the Ninth Military District Hospital, and Xyder was also brought along. Chad saw hundreds of children with autism there!Before entering the
