Painted Plummet

"Kings, when they invade a land, they ruin it and render the honor of its people humbled." That word etches into my memory. Like a burning coal that sears the skin. A voice that has long disappeared, sweetly creeping back, faint and distant. Words that ring true across the universe. For me, the world was once a canvas of wonder, where sunshine shines on a lush green landscape and rainbows decorates the sky. His world, however, was painted with the crimson hues of blood and veiled in the ashen cloak of despair. I had seen the world through a beautiful colored glass. I failed to grasp the chasm that separated us, oblivious to the fact that while we stood on the same land, our feet tread upon different paths. Beneath the same expansive sky, our gazes had locked in opposing directions. Breathing the same air, and yet… I hadn’t noticed it sooner. Up above, I found a serene and familiar landscape, in a different realm, bridged by the unknown. While he, down below, navigated a world unknown. Worlds apart. But united by destiny. His dark hair is like the midnight sky. His bright eyes rival the radiance of the rays. His complexion, kissed by the sun itself. His freckles are like the stars that adorn the firmament. Amidst these, his round ears stand as a reminder of our inherent differences, he, a child of humanity, and I, a descendant of the elves. He is a sorcerer with his words, weaving phrases that ensnare my very soul. He’s captivating me in love so deep and profound. He invades my heart without any sword. And yet… "Dear beloved, I’ve called out to you often, yet my cries fall upon deaf ears." "Dear beloved, I’ve glimpsed you in the shadows of my dreams, but you have not seen me." "Dear beloved…"

【Exhilarating】【New Ultimate Path Plus Points】【Dry Humor】 The world plummets; who shall uphold the heavens? Demons spawn from earth and sky, the Taoist stands valiant and resolute. I am Yi Chen, 'Chen' as in dust, styled Yi Chengzi, eighteen years old, fearful of violent evil spirits, fond of making money. With a cold heart and ruthless hands, he transmigrated to a bizarre world where goblins and malevolent spirits dwell, becoming the eldest senior brother of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and as his master lay dying, he entrusted Yi Chengzi with the duty to uphold the path of benevolence and righteousness, to take good care of his younger Taoist brothers; he promised he would. However, his understanding of the path of benevolence and righteousness differed slightly from that of his master. What is benevolence? Slicing evil men and ghosts in half is benevolence. What is righteousness? Smashing the heads of evil men and ghosts into their chests completes righteousness. After his master's death, unable to awaken 'spiritual essence' for cultivation, he set upon an unorthodox path of cultivation with the help of the Golden Finger. Facing the wolves eager for a fight after his master's demise, he struck with heavy fists, understanding the true essence of righteousness. Confronting the malevolent spirits that stood in his way, he naturally reformed them with the iron fists of love. He slew demons, exorcised evil, and tested his sword against various spiritual cultivators, enjoying the landscapes of the world. When he reached the summit and looked around, he was shocked to find that demons were but minor afflictions and that this land and sky were falling... A millennium-long scheme, an eternal enigma, slowly unveiled itself. Strange, it has arrived, and it does not die or perish. Witnessing this scene, Yi Chen laughed. Even the malevolent dogs passing by his Taoist abode had to endure a couple of slaps; how dare someone be so disrespectful to him? Yi Taoist stomped one foot and soared into the heavens! The onlookers exclaimed in shock, "Taoist, stop fighting, the great 'Dao' is nearly worn away!"

When there were strange signs in the sky, there must be demons lurking. Li Mo, who had studied antiques since he was young, had a strange change in his eyes after being struck by lightning. With a pair of divine eyes, he gained the ability to see through things and sense objects. He bought a gourd bottle for 500 yuan at a flea market and sold it for 230,000 yuan. A painting he casually bought turned out to be a genuine work by Xu Beihong, worth thirty to forty million yuan. The black double-eared bottle that came with the purchase of a set of gold jewelry turned out to be a genuine possession of the Ming imperial family. Ancient bronze ware, exquisitely crafted porcelain, calligraphy and painting with bold and vigorous strokes, and thrilling gambling stones came one after another. From then on, Li Mo's life underwent a revolutionary change. "I have divine eyes, and there are no treasures in the world that can escape my sight."

Prologue: The Fall of the House of Eldras In an age long forgotten, the House of Eldras stood as one of the most powerful and revered noble families in the land. Known for their mastery over forbidden magic, the Eldras were the victors of a brutal war that reshaped the kingdom. They wielded an heirloom—an artifact of unimaginable power—that granted them dominion over the very forces of nature. But with great power came great envy.

But deep within the heart of the Redwood Kingdom, a young boy named Sylas, the last bloodline of the fallen family, waits. His Ring—the key to his family’s forgotten power—will soon awaken, setting him on a path to reclaim his birthright. Yet, Sylas harbors no thirst for vengeance. He only desires a better life. But fate has other plans, and the world will soon discover that the true power of the House of Eldras is far from extinguished. In the shadows of the past, the Contracter's Conquest begins. ---
