The First Great War was against a single person—the Soul Emperor. Years later, the Second Great War started because the Inheritor of the Soul Emperor wanted to open a portal to the mysterious and dangerous Demon Realm. As such, while the Soul Emperor had many contributions to the magical islands suspended in the sky, his name was still considered a taboo. Now, hundreds of years later, his power surfaced again. A young human, believed to be dead after a failed operation on an island filled with monsters, ended up inheriting the forbidden legacy. [Unnaturally high soul power detected.] [A body with a divine rank bloodline detected.] [All conditions to activate the system have been met.] As the Inheritor, Zed Deverux’s mission was simple. [Kill, extract, remodel, and reign over the celestial expanse.] "Ruling the world? Sounds like too much work. I'd rather get every benefit possible and then live a chill life." Either way, Zed knew that the rise of a new superpower was set in stone... Or more like mountain of corpses. Light colored eyes are considered ugly here?" Aidan Reith found himself transmigrated into a fantasy world just before his acting debut, only to discover its beauty standards were a bit off. But Aidan quickly adapted and got excited.

All he needed was the body of a species, and he could turn it into a wearable skin! [You can become a demon. Do you want to read the 'haunted village' script?] [You can become a poisonous lamia. Do you want to read the 'gem-loving snake' script?] [You can become a dragoman. Do you want to read the 'dark dragon's harem' script?] Aidan soon realized the world's entertainment lacked variety, so he decided to create the first movie theater. And those who tried to stop him? They mysteriously disappeared. After the initial struggle, life would be on easy mode.... Or so Fang Yusheng thought. [Current minimum requirement:] [Your disciple should at least have an astral physique.] "..." "They say I poisoned my own brother... In a way, they’re not wrong." In the martial world of Danxia, Seth Fenix was cursed with Withering Yin Syndrome, a rare disease that drained his strength and halted his cultivation. Mocked as the "Withered Demon," his ugly appearance and rumored betrayal of his brother made him a hated outcast. Seth paid no mind to the scorn of others, and only focused on himself. Then, everything changed when an incident awakened the Divine Yin Lotus Seed within him. It gave him hope—a cure for his illness and the power to rise again. But Seth soon learned that unlocking its full potential required one thing… The sacrifice of celestial blood. "Dual cultivation is actually the cure to my illness?" In the martial world of Danxia, qi flowed through everything. Unfortunately, Seth Fenix was born with Withering Qi Syndrome, a disease that drained qi from his body and made surviving past the age of nine nearly impossible. Miraculously, he managed to live for nineteen years, tirelessly searching for a cure with the help of his eccentric alchemist mentor. One day, after drinking her latest potion, his condition seemed to improve—only to later discover the shocking truth behind the 'elixir'. It was her breast milk?! --- He was a devil who s

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please… let me go,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper. Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But the white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?

The waves ripple around me, calling me in a whisper, Into the deepest part of the ocean. As I walk on the soft sand, the water sweeps over my feet, surrounding where I stand, giving me the sweetest sensation. Oh ocean, why do I feel so attracted to you? Why do I feel the tickling of your whispers? As it causes cold shivers down my spine. I could hear your gentle lullaby, It roars like a lion, yet so steady and honest Just like a refined diamond.

Why do you call me so desperately? I want to know, cause when the sea calls? Who will answer?

Sure! Here is the translation of the given text: "Dreamer, I am just a piece of emotionless wood, a withered tree that cannot encounter spring, and does not understand the feelings of the world, the love between people. Except for you. Only you. The first part of this text is cheerful, while the second part is painful. 'Not long for this world, because there is no deeper emotion left. From now on, no one in this world will be able to show the slightest sentiment on Wen Meng's face.' What Wu Jiu said is indeed correct; the truths of this world really are: the strongest will face humiliation, and deep love cannot last."

Through the endless march of time, where empires rose only to crumble into forgotten dust and stars burned bright before fading into the abyss, their love endured—a golden thread woven into the fabric of eternity. It did not yield to the passing of years, nor did it wither under the weight of sorrow or the trials of fate.
