Lakdanath laid on the bed, furious. All his maids were frightened out of their wits.

“Guards! Guards!” Lakdanath shouted. “Guards!”

“Your subordinate is here.” A guard immediately came running. “What are your orders, Sir Oracle?”

“This Shuraba is awful! Awful!” Lakdanath spat angrily. “What are they doing? Where is the bloodbath I enjoy watching?! Where is the violence?! It’s been two days and they are just playing hide-and-seek! Hide-and-seek! What I want to see is blood! The kind where arms and legs are torn off! Where intestines fly all over the place! Replace them! Replace them! Execute them all and replace them with the next batch!”

“Yes, sir.” After listening to Lakdanath, the guard bowed and quickly left to make arrangements.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Heaven’s Chosen Ones were held in high regard. But in the eyes of the Oracle Lakdanath, they were nothing more than playthings! He loved to watch them slaughtering each other in the Shuraba!

Blood all over the ground! Broken limbs everywhere!

This was Lakdanath’s favorite pastime. In this Astral Alliance, everyone was just a plaything to him, a chess piece. The only purpose of anything was to please him.

Shortly after the guard left, the Heaven’s Chosen Ones in the video suddenly started turning red and then exploded with a “pop”! In just a few seconds, there was no one left alive in the entire Shuraba!

“This is better. The fighting just now was pathetic. Insects like those should not be alive!” Lakdanath was finally satisfied when he saw that there was no one left alive in the Shuraba. “Okay, let’s get another group in. En… yes, which group is next?”

He seemed to be talking to himself, but soon a cold voice sounded, “Dear Sir Oracle, the Celia Astral Consortium was just up. Next is the Shenglong Astral Consortium.”

An Astral Consortium was a group made up of neighboring Astrals, each of which consisted of about two to three hundred Astrals. The Pengyun Astral Alliance included all these Astral Consortia. It was an absolute behemoth.

“Oh, okay.” Lakdanath pouted. “Let’s take a look at how this next lot of Heaven’s Chosen Ones kill each other. Prepare to teleport them in.”

“Okay,” the cold voice replied.

Soon, in the Shuraba in front of Lakdanath, figures began to appear. These were all Heaven’s Chosen Ones, more than two hundred of them. When they entered, they were obviously terrified. They immediately hid and prepared to hunt or be hunted…

“Let’s see what happens this time.” Lakdanath was instantly excited. “I hope they will not disappoint me, hahaha!”

Soon, the fighting began in the Shuraba. These Heaven’s Chosen Ones were obviously aware that only one of them would be leaving the field. Once they started fighting, they gave it their all. The battle was extraordinarily bloody and bitter.

“That’s right, this is the way, haha!” Lakdanath laughed as he looked at the bloodbath in the video. “Yes, yes, this is the way it should be! Hahaha!”

The screams and shrieks from the Shuraba were extremely miserable, but Lakdanath watched the proceedings gleefully. As he was enjoying it, a guard suddenly knocked on the door. He entered and whispered something in his ear.

“Oh? Dimension battlefield?” Lakdanath frowned, then hooked his fingers. The maids hurried over to push him up—he was too fat to stand up by himself…

“Sir Oracle.” Soon, a middle-aged man in a gray trench coat came in and respectfully saluted. “Your subordinate, Dimensional War Inspectorate Inspectorate member Rantilus greets Sir Oracle.”

“En, you may rise.” Lakdanath’s nasal voice said, “What’s happening on the Dimension battlefield? What is it that required you to report to me personally?”

Rantilus said respectfully, “Replying Sir Oracle, the battle situation on the Tuka Planet Dimension battlefield is a little strange. It seems that the current commander of Tuka Planet, Hong Dali, is deliberately transporting the Cultivators away, bringing their numbers down to zero.”

“What?!” Lakdanath blew his top when he heard this. “Dimensional War! That’s a Dimensional War! How can a Dimensional War not be fought on a large scale?! How can people not die! Is there a video? Show me!”

“Yes.” Rantilus quickly showed Lakdanath Li Longfei’s video. Lakdanath was so furious all his fats wobbled. “They are not fighting! This is not fighting! How can they insult the sacred word of war in such a way! You, go immediately! Go immediately! Replace Hong Dali and arrest him! I want him to understand what a war is! War!”

Lakdanath’s entire face was distorted. “How can it be a war if no one dies? How can it be a Dimensional War if there aren’t at least tens of billions dead?! How dare he transport the enemies away?! Death penalty! This is a death sentence! All pagans must be killed! Killed! All of them should be thrown into the sun and burned! Burned!”

“Understood, I will see to it immediately.” Having gotten Lakdanath’s instructions, Rantilus left.

“I’m furious! I’m furious!” Lakdanath gasped breathlessly and screamed loudly, “Show me videos of the other Dimension battlefields!”

Soon, the video in the huge holographic projection in front of him changed. It showed a huge black hole in space, the Dimension Door!

An endless stream of enemies entered through the Dimension Door. Countless space carriers fired off shots. Enemies died. Space carriers were destroyed by the enemies and exploded…

“This is what I call a war! This is what I call a war!” Lakdanath said excitedly, “Yes. War, death, this is the way, this is the way! How can it be called a Dimensional War if hundreds of billions of people are not killed?”

…

Hong Dali was completely unaware that a crisis was quietly approaching. At this time, he was window-shopping with Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei…

“Dali, this world feels really familiar.” Tang Muxin clung onto Hong Dali’s arm as the two of them walked along the road, laughing. “A lot of things are similar, it must be a parallel world, right?”

“Hehe, since Young Master didn’t say anything, I guess he agrees.” Li Nianwei said pointedly, “I seem to be hearing a lot of very familiar songs, for example, ‘Never Left’…”

It was obviously going to be very hard to hide anything from these two girls. Hong Dali smiled and said, “Hehe, you know…”

“I understand.” Tang Muxin said with a smile, “It’s too late to regret now, anyway. I chose to marry you, after all.”

She had known for a long time that Hong Dali had a secret, but a smart woman knew which questions could be asked and which could not. So, Tang Muxin had never asked about it. She knew that if it was something she should know, she would find out sooner or later. If it was something she shouldn’t know, she was better off not asking about it.

The three were walking when the motor of a car next to them roared. Hong Dali turned his head to look and immediately smiled.

That handsome guy, wasn’t he Han Songyang?

“Aiya, Brother Dali. I finally found you!” Han Songyang shouted when he saw Hong Dali. “You’re really hard to find!” Then, he stared at Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei, completely dumbfounded. After staring for a while, he asked Hong Dali, “Your wives?”

“Yes.” Hong Dali nodded. “Good?”

The entire group of young men was already completely bedazzled. They nodded vehemently. “Yes, very! If this is not considered beautiful, I don’t know what is?!”

To be honest, this group of young men had seen their fair share of beautiful women. There was a large group of beautiful women who were willing to be at their beck and call, ready to go to them if they beckoned.

But they had never seen fairy-like beauties like Li Nianwei and Tang Muxin, whom they might not meet even in their dreams.

“Brother Dali, you’re awesome!” Han Songyang gave a thumbs-up sign and said, “That’s why when I met you the first two times, you only had a bodyguard with you. Now I know it’s because you are not interested in ordinarily beautiful women, haha.”

Everyone laughed. Hong Dali smiled and said, “Okay, that’s enough. Tell me, why are you looking for me so anxiously?”

When he was shopping with Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei, Han Songyang had called and asked to meet him. That was how Han Songyang found him. Otherwise, the world was so big. What was the possibility that they would meet by chance?

“There was actually just one thing, but today it became two,” Han Songyang said with a smile. “Brother Dali, did you see the stock market today? It was a shocking reversal. It fell by more than 300 points in the morning and things suddenly got better in the afternoon! It rose by more than two hundred points!”

Han Songyang knew that Hong Dali traded, and he also knew that Hong Dali was a big player. So, he obviously wanted to share the good news regarding the stock market with Hong Dali. After all, the market had plunged for a few days in a row. This rallying was definitely a good thing and it made everyone happy.

“Oh, this…” Hong Dali sniffed. How could he not know? He was the one who rallied it… Of course, he could not tell him directly. “That’s a good thing, haha, great! Oh yes, have you all bought stocks?”

“We did. Does Brother Dali have any instructions?” Han Songyang and his group of brothers nodded and asked.

To be honest, the stock market had sent them all into a frenzy the past few days. Who could tolerate it plunging like that?

“Find a chance to sell tomorrow.” Hong Dali remembered what Gu Feifei said before he went out. “The market will continue to plunge. Wait two more days before buying during the weekend.”

Gu Feifei said that even though the market had rallied today, there were too many people with shares in their hands and it would definitely take a nosedive again tomorrow. However, he couldn’t stay there for more than 24 hours, so…
