Yellow Lantern Oath

Qi Yuan was reborn in the world of mortal cultivation and became a errand disciple of the Yellow Maple Valley. He had five elements of mixed spiritual roots and thought that he had no hope of building a foundation in this life! But he didn't expect that there was a Chaos Cauldron in his mind, which could infinitely breed resources... A pill was put in, and it immediately piled up into a small mountain and overflowed. A thousand-year-old spiritual medicine was put in, and it immediately turned into countless thousand-year-old spiritual medicines. Several years later, Qi Yuan set up a small stall in front of Han Lao Mo and took out countless Palm Heaven Bottles and placed them on it. Han Li frowned and thought to himself: "Oh no, my Palm Heaven Bottle has become a common item!"

The vast Dream Sea, atop layers of miracles and magnificence, where Transcendents walk the ascendant path guided by their ultimate longings as if by beacons. The supreme beings wielded power, their greatness shining in all directions, ascending to divinity. But even deities were not the ultimate. They too struggled for greater perfection and ideals, endlessly, within the Void Origin, above the Dream Sea. "So... Your Majesty Ybur, as the most powerful Slime in history, what exactly drives you to become stronger?" Many years later, when faced with the question from a Heavenly envoy, Ybur, who by then stood at the zenith of the Dream Realm as the "World Devourer," recalled the afternoon just after his birth when the Creator had stuffed him down a golden toilet and flushed him into the sewers in one go... After a long silence, he spoke with a heavy tone: "It's the toilet. The golden toilet." The envoy: "???"

In the age of interstellar exploration, three hundred years ago, Mage explorers from the yellow river planet took their first step towards outer space. It was a joyous event for every mage on that planet, yet unfortunately, space is dominated by other races.

From then on, every mage from the Yellow River Planet began to increase their power level by consuming outer space resources. Then they constantly researched, upgraded the power level system and tried to pave the way for the next generation of space explorers. Now, our MC Vincent Carey's ambition is to be the next generation of space explorers. How is he going to increase his strength and compete among other races to get resources?

Worlds overlapped, and Alien Species descended. Strange entities emerged one after another, as the shadow of evil spread wildly. The calm of life was shattered, and Zhang Xiaoman, inside a fish's stomach, accidentally consumed a system named "World-saving Plan". From then on, he became the only person among all humans with Extraordinary Power. … Inventing an ancient oath, he established a unique methodology, Cultivated Dark Energy, founded an organization, took Control of the Transcendent, and resisted invasions. Well, this is actually the story of how a Big Con Man bluffed his way into saving the entire world. PS: Contains elements of the behind-the-scenes, Cthulhu mythos.

A door unfolded before him. Evil thrived, and whispers spilled from within. The resentful compound eyes flickered and vanished, the presence longing to burst out was blocked inside, and the alluring murmurs echoed in the ear. The sticky, pink brain mumbled something. A figure cloaked in a yellow robe watched from a distance. A dark green presence, smelling of blood, roared. A string of wondrous soap bubbles released friendliness—and many, many guests. They sincerely invited Lu Li to join this mad party. Lu Li stepped in, his stride resolute and unwavering. He had no reason to refuse.

At dawn. The light of dawn lingered, hesitant to arrive, while the remnants of the setting sun had long faded into darkness. Within the city shrouded in thin mist, the hidden churches in the shadows, veins clinging to the cracks in walls, the gnawing sounds echoing from the sewers, and the murmuring shadows... A lantern bearer strolled forward.

After arriving in Japan, I became a high school student named Kamiyagawa. Looking around— Hanako crouched in the bathroom, waiting for someone to knock on the door; the Split-Mouth Woman wandered the streets with scissors in hand; Miss Mary's deathly calls echoed incessantly; the wails and barks in Inunaki Village never ceased; the Ubume searched for her long-dead child; the Aoandon smiled, enticing passersby to play with the lanterns of a hundred demons… In a crumbling world rampant with sinister tales and malevolent spirits, Kamiyagawa set a small goal for himself: "Defeat all the demons and monsters, and become the supreme ruler of ghosts and deities."

Every century, the Blood Pact Ritual binds the most powerful human mage to the Vampire King, forging an uneasy truce between their warring races. A fate none escape. When Lythienne Drazkova, a rebellious sorceress, is unwillingly chosen, she refuses to be just another pawn in their ancient game. But the pact does more than shackle her to the immortal tyrant—it brands her very soul, awakening the Bloodbound System, a power unlike any seen before. With it comes forbidden abilities—Blood Magic, Vampire Arts, and Arcane Sorcery—but at a terrible price. Every spell tightens the king’s hold on her, threatening to erode her will, her humanity. The more she resists, the stronger the system fights back, binding her fate ever closer to the dark sovereign who watches her with unsettling interest. Yet the deeper Elaria delves into her newfound power, the more she unearths a harrowing truth: the Blood Pact is a lie—a carefully crafted deception in a war orchestrated by something far older and far more malevolent. Breaking free could shatter the balance of the world… or doom it to an ancient horror's return. Will Lythienne sever the chains of destiny—or embrace them and rise as something far worse than legend?

The light of dawn lingers just beyond reach, the fading glow of the setting sun long replaced by darkness. In the mist-shrouded city, hidden within the shadows of ancient churches, veins clinging to cracked walls, the gnawing sounds from the sewers, and the whispering figures that lurk in the dark… A lantern-bearer walks alone through it all.

**Blood Oath: The Way of the Shadows** In the underworld of 1990s Japan, where loyalty is paid in blood and betrayal means death, the **Kurogane Syndicate** rules from the shadows. Their deadliest weapon? The Umbra Division—an elite squad of assassins trained to kill without hesitation. Among them is **Ren**, a cold and ruthless killer with no memories of the family he lost.

But as the Umbra Division is sent to eliminate increasingly dangerous targets, whispers spread of an enemy even the Syndicate fears.

In a world of magic, war is always bound to happen. There are numerous realms that make up the universe. And they are under the protection of the world's mightiest warriors known as the realm guardians. These so-called guardians are individually powerful and if they combine their strength altogether, it rivals that of a God. Growing up in the human realm as an orphan, Aeriah was completely unaware that she didn't belong there. One night when she was five years old, she was alone in the backyard of the orphanage where she stays. Having just her favorite book to keep her company, she settled down to read. But as soon as she flipped the first page open, she was blinded by an illuminating flash. Soon after, a formless creature cloaked in serene white light appeared. To her surprise, it turned out to be one of the referred realm guardians. Aeriah, however, was too innocent to be enthralled. Even after all these years, Aeriah continues to recall the memory of that night. She was adopted by a noble family: the Riessevilles. Without knowing that they are a family of mages that came from another world, she would soon learn the truth that the human realm is doomed to be destroyed by the forces of the dark realm. Following their escape, Aeriah then finds herself in a whole new world; a completely different reality, with the goal to discover who she truly is.

The way of heaven is impermanent and ruthless. It embraces everything and is free from it. There is no good or evil, no right or wrong, no gratitude or resentment, no joy or sorrow. The way of immortals is the way, the way of demons is the way, the way of monsters is the way, and the way of Buddha is the way. Lying high on the nine-layer cloud, I have realized the truth of the way on the futon. Beyond the dark yellow of heaven and earth, I shall be the master of the religion. Pangu gave birth to Taiji, and the two yin and yang and four images follow. One way passed on to three friends, and the two religions were divided into Chan and Jie. The leaders of the Xuanmen, one breath transformed into the Three Pure Ones

What secrets lie in the blood of a man who bargained with monsters? Devon Fiore believed he inherited only two things from his mafia grandfather: a scar beneath his jaw and enemies eager to kill him over unpaid debts.

Here, there are no written rules. Only shadows of a forgotten pact binding the Fiores to the Eon Devourers, entities that feed on realities. To survive, Devon must rely on the only skills he knows: manipulate, fight, betray, and unravel the hidden threads weaving the multiverse. But every truth he uncovers brings him closer to a lethal question: Was his grandfather an accomplice… or a sacrifice?

A new rebel known as The Rising Sun emerges, a challenger to the throne Cassian seeks. And beyond them both, an ancient darkness whispers from the void, promising power beyond measure… at a price.

My body stiffened as a palace guard called for me from the other side, but I ignored it. Mei, on the other hand, began pushing me away in a panic. "Cheng, let go," she said, struggling in my arms. "Can't you hear him? What if he comes in and sees us like this?" "I don't care," I replied, my lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you forgive me, that's all I need. I won't let go until you do." I knew I was taking a risk, a huge one, if we were seen like this, there would be consequences. But losing Mei would be the bigger risk, the one I couldn't take. I couldn't let her slip away. "I just need to hear you forgive me, mei. That's all I need right now." The guard knocked again, calling my name, and Mei struggled harder. "Cheng, please," she said, her voice cracking under the strain. But I didn't budge. Finally she muttered, "Fine. I forgive you." "I forgive you, you crazy jerk." "You really mean that?" I asked, my voice barely audible. She nodded, exasperated, and only then did I release her. Just as I did, the door swung open, and I barely had time to step back before the palace guard entered, the guard rushed in, his face pale with worry. It was a close call. too close, but I didn't care. Mei flinched at the intrusion, but quickly composed herself, stepping away from me to a more respectable distance. The guard, wide-eyed and clearly flustered, fell to his knees in a bow. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness. I called for you several times but received no reply. I entered out of concern, fearing the worst." I glanced at Mei, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She simply gave the guard one last look and walked out, leaving the room without a word. I let out a long, exhausted sigh, running a hand through my hair, still reeling from everything that had just happened. Turning back to the guard, I motioned for him to stand. "Get up" "And next time, don't enter my room without permission." ———— Author’s Note (Rong King) This story is a work of fiction, entirely created from my imagination.

This was an era where everyone could experience various worlds through simulations. When everyone reached 16 years old, they would receive a Life Lantern, which would grant them two free simulations. During the free simulations, they had to break through the limits of humans in order to attain a bright future in reality. Otherwise, they would lose their Life Lanterns and they would slowly be corrupted by a black fog until they eventually died at a young age. Lin Qiye, who transmigrated to this era, failed his first simulation. During his second simulation, by chance, he acquired a permanent SSS-rank talent - the Deduction of Genesis. Lin Qiye’s first life: [When you were two, you had a sudden illness, causing you to have a deformed head and low IQ. When you were 15, your parents passed away. When you were 18, you died of an incurable disease.] Lin Qiye commanded, “The Deduction of Genesis, deduce for me a way to transcend this life.” [Congratulations for defying the heavens and successfully changing your fate. You acquired S rank in your evaluation. Your rewards are…] … His second life: [When you were 15, the spiritual aura on Earth rejuvenated. You did not awaken any talent while your childhood best friend achieved outstanding attainments with her awakened talent. When you were 16, you were killed by a stranger.] Lin Qiye summoned, “The Deduction of Genesis!” [You carefully made plans before the spiritual aura rejuvenated. Because of this, you defied the heavens and successfully changed your fate. You acquired S rank in your evaluation. Your rewards are…]

A man feared across empires, known for his ruthlessness, stood before her—staring as if she were a ghost from a past he had sworn to erase. Elara had lived her life in the shadows, hidden from the world. But when imperial soldiers tore her from her quiet existence, she realized her past wasn’t just forgotten—it was erased. A broken oath. A lost legacy. A forgotten power. Ryan was raised to destroy everything connected to the ancient bloodline Elara unknowingly belonged to. But when he looks into her defiant eyes, he sees something that shouldn’t be there—something even he cannot kill. As dark forces awaken and betrayals fester in the court, Elara must unravel the truth of who she really is—before Ryan is forced to finish what his ancestors started. Because in a world where power is survival and loyalty is a lie, an oath once broken will never be forgotten. Enemies by fate. Bound by a secret. Destined for war. ---
