Beatrice took out her phone and opened up her class group chat. She then found the video that she was talking about.

Both Dorothy and Claire huddled closer to watch the video together.

Even the CEO of the City South Branch of Assex Constructions, Dorothy, was interested in making 500 million from 500 thousand dollars. Her heart was pounding hard. She wanted to see how great this Stone Gambling Prince was as well.

She had looked into the stone gambling industry after all.

Back then, she had a friend who loved to gamble on stones. But now they’ve lost everything; their debts were all over the place; and all they could do now was abandon the life they had to hide from loan sharks. They were nowhere to be seen now…

Thus, Dorothy knew how stone gambling works—it really does rely solely on luck. Even their most advanced technology couldn’t tell if the ores had jadeites within before cutting them open.

However, this Stone Gambling Prince was able to get rare emeralds from all three ores

    With both Claire and Beatrice being as unhelpful as they could, it was just a disaster to Dorothy.Claire pointed to Alex. “Go make us some dinner, we haven’t cooked anything yet!”Dorothy said, “It’s quite late already, you don’t have to cook. Let’s just eat out, I’ll treat all of you to hotpot.”Suddenly, Claire turned to Alex and said, “You may leave now, we don’t treat outsiders to dinner.”Beatrice added. “Exactly, we’re no charity.”Dorothy was losing her mind. ‘Alex came all the way here to help us out, spending 500 thousand just because of you. How could you still say that with a straight face? Have you no shame?’Just as Dorothy was about to speak up, Alex said, “That’s alright, I have other things to tend to anyway. I’ll be off now. Dorothy… don’t push yourself too hard. If you don’t have enough money, I’ll come up with something.”Claire huffed. “You’ll come up with something? And what would that be? Another fake check? All you will ever be is a loser. Get lost! I’m a

    Alex grabbed the stove and pulled his head out of it.He then rushed to the table excitedly and started scribbling on a notebook. He had used up seven notebooks for the past two days. All of them were filled with weird symbols that Waltz did not recognize.“I love nerds. Brother, you look so cool when you’re focused on work!” Waltz sat on the table and shoved a spoonful of ice cream into Alex’s mouth. Alex was still focused on writing, hence he completely ignored her. After noting down all the sigils that he had figured out, he put down the pen and let out a sigh of relief, as if a boulder had been lifted off his chest.Suddenly, he felt extremely thirsty. A spoonful of ice cream wasn’t enough for him, hence he snatched the whole bucket of ice cream and gobbled it all up.“Brother, I couldn’t finish the ice cream in the bucket, so I actually spat the rest out back into it.”Alex froze.He immediately spat out the mint ice cream onto Waltz's face.Half an hour later, Alex start

    “No problem, just give me the time and address, I’ll be there.” Alex smiled.“I can pick you up.”“There’s no need for that, the journey is quite troublesome.”“Alright!” Cheryl said softly, before adding, “I’m only inviting you because my grandpa wants to see you, don’t you dare misunderstand!”Alex froze. “I don’t, I know you don’t have other intentions.”“I… Just come over quickly, I’ll hang up now!” Cheryl’s cheeks were now painted in a slight shade of pink, she seemed annoyed.‘What do you mean by other intentions?’After obtaining the address, Alex looked it up online. Apparently Cheryl lives in a residential area in City South, California.After informing Brittany about the invite, he went to absorb some Chi from his emeralds to energize himself. He then headed towards his destination.Cheryl was picking an outfit in front of her mirror. Clothes were all over the room, yet she still couldn’t find the right one.Suddenly, an old lady walked in with a sweet smile. “Cherr

    James was clearly unhappy with their sudden appearance.Cheryl was exceptionally annoyed by the old man’s words too, her face was filled with disgust.‘What do you mean by ‘spinster’?‘I just have high standards for men!’James replied, “What brings you here, Wilson? What makes you think I’d welcome you at my doorstep? Were you banned from working in Michigan? Is that why?”This old man was Patrick Wilson, he had quite a history with James. The two used to be apprentices under a famous doctor, they were like godbrothers. James was older than Patrick, so became the older brother.However, Patrick didn’t learn medicine to save lives, he wanted the money.Back then, he would use his master’s title to scam others. This was why their master expelled him and was no longer deemed as one of his disciples. However, Patrick had the mind of a businessman. Even though he couldn’t become a famous doctor, he managed to start up a health care centre, selling ancient spa treatments.To their s

    Patrick approached Alex and dragged him closer. “Hey brat, I don’t care who you are. Cherry is definitely going to be my granddaughter-in-law. Tell me, how much money is enough to make you leave her?”‘Pretty intimidating and ruthless, huh?’Alex furrowed his eyebrows, he was about to snap.Grandma yelled. “Stop it this instance, Patrick! My granddaughter hasn’t married yet, but their wedding is near. We’ve already agreed on giving him her hand in marriage long ago. What? Do you really want to become a homewrecker?”Patrick was furious. “Bullsh*t! Cherry is my granddaughter-in-law, her father gave us her hand in marriage back then. Are you trying to go back on your word? Do you need me to bring your son over to make things clear? Besides, Coney, don’t you dare forget who saved you from drowning back then. Are you that ungrateful? And you call yourself a miracle doctor?”Patrick seemed to have stunned everyone with his words.Alex noticed that Cheryl’s eyes were filled with hatred

    Gasp!Zachary’s hearty laughter stopped abruptly, as if a lively aged duck that had its neck suddenly pinched, waiting to be slaughtered.In that instant, he was flushed with anger.Alex nonchalantly said, “Aha, did I just expose the truth?”“Nonsense! You’re the one with wet dreams, same goes to all your family members!” Zachary was infuriated.It was his greatest pain as it happened almost every night. In the middle of the night, he was always jolted awake by the discharge, and had to clean up after himself. It was so bad that he dared not share a bedroom with his classmates when he was studying overseas, fearing his condition would be exposed.However, Alex exposed his woe right in front of Cheryl, so he felt searing pain in humiliation as if his skin was being torn off.Therefore, he would never admit to it.Cheryl and James looked at Zachary amusingly.James said, “Zachary, why don’t I check your pulse and see if it is legitimate? If it is true, it might affect your repro

    However, the defeated opponent was not Alex Rockefeller.Cheryl looked at Alex with emotions pouring out of her eyes.However, Alex’s attention was on Patrick instead. “What do you think?”Patrick chuckled. “I go with whatever Zachary says. It’s all on you, little genius doctor.”Only then did Alex nod.Zachary’s ailment was nothing but a piece of cake for him.....An hour later at a neighbourhood park.“Your marriage arrangement is now annulled. You are free now, so you do not have to look for a man to pretend to be your boyfriend anymore.” Alex smiled at Cheryl, who had her hand wrapped around his arm.What Alex meant was a not-so-subtle hint for Cheryl to leave him alone.Yet, Cheryl seemed oblivious. “I do not care for the marriage arrangement anyway, it can’t constrain me. Whatever that man said has got nothing to do with me.”“That man… Your father?”“You can say so.”Alex did not say anything else as he knew that it must be a trauma that she did not want to mention

    What?As Cheryl headed back to her house after finishing her speech, Alex’s anxious voice could be heard from behind. “Dorothy! Dorothy! Hello! Listen to me, it’s not what you think! I…. Hello, hello! Hello...”Cheryl’s sweet stir had destroyed Alex’s hope in an instant. Not to mention going on a midnight movie date with Dorothy, he feared that she might not let him enter the house next time.How could Dorothy feel good after hearing Cheryl’s loving yet ambiguous voice over the phone in such late night?So, she was infuriated and immediately ended the call.Immediately, Alex dialed her number but it was not picked up.Then, he called again but her phone had been turned off.Helplessly, he could only send her a message explaining that he was invited by Dr. James Coney to a birthday celebration, conveniently leaving out the fact that he was the only outsider invited and he pretended to be Cheryl’s boyfriend.The night passed.The next morning, he called Dorothy again.

    The Fiend Lord’s mentor was Blaine Rockefeller.However...Grand Emperor Rowan was puzzled. “You are the last Everlasting Being? But we were sworn brothers 10,000 years ago, weren’t we?”Blaine smiled and fished out a box of cigars. “Would you like one?”After a moment, the three people smoked at the foot of Mount Yukon.Blaine suddenly spewed out a puff of smoke. He then tapped the cigar lightly and said, “Samsara, life, soul, matter, universe, void...”That puff of smoke evolved.Eventually, he snapped his fingers and said, “Women!”The smoke turned into Zendaya’s lifelike appearance. She was a real person.Alex rushed over and hugged Zendaya immediately.Zendaya touched Alex’s face. “Hubby, am I still alive?”“I, I, I don’t know either.”After he said that, he kissed her passionately.Blaine snapped his fingers again, and Zendaya disappeared instantly.“This is...”“Idiot!” Blaine flicked the ash off his cigar. “Do you still not understand it?”Alex looked at Blaine,

    Alex burst into tears when she saw the Phoenix Empress.She was still protecting Phoenix firmly at the final moment of her life...“Honey! Dorothy... They are dead! They are all dead!”He pulled his hair out, completely unable to accept such a result.He did not know how long he used the last move, but it seemed like a century had passed outside the Phanes Realm. ‘There is no one left. What’s the point of living when I am the only one left?’He held Dorothy with one hand and Phoenix with the other hand, whereas Shelly was lying next to his feet.He shed tears and bawled sorrowfully.Just then, a ray of light flashed.A crystal-clear stone suddenly exploded at the scene, and someone popped out... It was Grand Emperor Rowan who was drenched in blood. He did not die. He was still alive.Looking at him, Alex cried louder.Immediately afterward, an even louder cry sounded around him.Grand Emperor Rowan was crying.Nothing was more painful in this world than having his beloved o

    Alex realized that he was trapped.He had ants in his pants. Dorothy, Phoenix, Shelly, Grand Emperor Rowan, and his family were outside... Since he was trapped here, they could be in danger.“Break it!”He grabbed the Phanes Ax and struck forcefully, but to his surprise, it was as if he was hitting cotton—he could not exert any strength.“Calm down! Calm down! No hurry!“This is Phanes Banner, an existence on the same level as the Phanes Ax. It won’t work if I strike it forcefully...”At that moment, the huge grindstone kept moving in the diffracted universe, and countless living beings were ground into flesh and blood. This time, the living beings on Earth could no longer withstand the grindstone and were continuously sucked into it.Currently, the entire diffracted universe was going to end in deadlock, as if the final result had been predetermined.Death and extinction seemed to be the final way.“Ah—!

    The mother-daughter duo—the Phoenix Empress and Phoenix—spilled blood in the air.That sword’s might did not stop there, but it came down in a ruthless slash. At the scene, Dorothy and Zendaya could not keep up with their strength. They had insufficient power!Both the women were standing in front of Alex as long-range supporters.It was then that the sword descended. Zendaya turned the vines into a shield and blocked it.Poof!The vine shield shattered instantly, and the sword almost tore her apart. Knocked back abruptly and crashing into Alex’s fusion barrier, she spilled a great amount of blood on it.Boom! Boom!Alex’s heart trembled vigorously. Seeing Zendaya at the last gasp before his eyes, Alex was so heartbroken that he could not breathe. Meanwhile, the face of the white-clothed woman in his mind finally became clear.“Yukina! Daya Stoermer! Yukina is Daya Stoermer!“I finally remembered it. I finally remembered it. It turns out that the three lifetimes you’ve been ta

    Grand Emperor Rowan brought momentary relief to Earth through the self-destruction of the Six Eternities.Those who were about to be sucked into the grindstone broke free from the restraints. Moreover, that huge grindstone faded away gradually and disappeared.“Ha! The grindstone is gone!”“It’s over! Great!”The people on Earth, especially those who had a narrow escape, shouted joyfully and hugged each other. Even if the men and women were unacquainted, they embraced each other excitedly.However, someone started crying shortly afterward because several nodes of the force field were broken, and at least a million living beings were sucked out of Earth before they were thrown into the grindstone and ground into flesh and blood.Someone powerful like Agatha sacrificed her life for the greater good.Even Saria failed to escape.She was also sucked into the grindstone after Agatha.Everyone was in great sorrow.Even so, the great crisis hadn’t yet been averted.Grand Emperor Ro

In the end, he had actually gone like that."I want your life, Ancient Divinity, you son of a bitch!""Boom, boom—" Fiend Lord’s heart was beating faster and faster. The fusion still continued as it still needed time. The energy of those flesh and blood was stopping him, destroying him. The dark demonic lotus in his body was a little untenable.At this time.Earth.The node of destruction grew in size

Not bad, not bad. With the Six Eternities, we can control the Everlasting Door more easily.""Go, kill them, and snatch the Six Eternities," the Ancient Divinity laughed and said to the Bull Demon King.The Bull Demon King quickly led his disciples and sons to attack Grand Emperor Rowan and the others."Come and help!"

    However, the suction was disrupted.People who flew up fell back down.The sensation that everyone was about to float away vanished as well.Soon, the audience witnessed an incomparably amazing scene.In a nearby world, a massive dragon was being pulled. It roared and resisted but to no avail. It finally plunged into the grimstone, where it was instantly ground into flesh and blood… Those flesh and blood fell from the grimstone but seemed to fall into some strange channel. They vanished.Then, there were more living things.Due to the distance, the average person could not see those small living creatures unless they cultivated their eyes with spiritual power to a certain level.

    Diffracted Universe.Earth.It was now midday, and the sun beat down brightly.A group of young men and women swam, played, and sunbathed on a golden beach, interacting with each other and enhancing each other's feelings.For example, one of the youth, Autumn, was pushed down onto the beach chair by a hot woman, who said, "Brother, the sun is so hot, I will give you sunscreen!"Then.As the words were spoken.The sun went completely dark.Everyone raised their eyes to the sky, only to discover that the sun that had been shining brightly all day had turned blood red. So much so that the light shining down was dark red like blood, and everything appeared to be bathed in blood light."What's the problem?""How did the sun become this?""Is it a solar eclipse?"However, everyone soon noticed that a massive grimstone had appeared next to the blood-colored sun.Alex would have been surprised if he had been present.This was due to his familiarity with the grimstone.He and Phoe
