There’s a saying that all real-time games are, in fact, turn-based games. ... more>>

If you consider “doing nothing within infinitely small units of time” as completing a turn, then it’s true.

Sophistry, you say? I thought so too.

As a young servant, Gu An accidentally broke a pot containing a spiritual flower. While he was panicking, he discovered that he had absorbed twelve years of lifespan from it! ... more>>

Thus began Gu An's journey to immortality.

To cultivate safely, Gu An chose to become a servant disciple in the Taixuan Sect, where he planted medicinal herbs daily to consume their lifespan and enhance his own cultivation.

He continuously evolved his basic skills with his evolution skill until they became divine abilities.

Eras passed, stars shifted, and the world changed.

Legends of immortals began to circulate.

Gu An, now an immortal, spent half of his lifespan to push his cultivation beyond the limits of immortality and achieved the saint realm and stood above the heavenly Dao.

However, one day, an old man in white robes, who looked like a true immortal, visited Gu An.

"I am the Celestial Lord Xuanqing from the heavens. The Great Emperor Taihao has heard of your numerous good deeds in the mortal realm. You have repeatedly saved countless lives and have accrued great merits. He has specially dispatched me to invite you to join the ranks of immortals and assume the celestial position of Divine Steed Officer."

"Dare I ask, what the duties of the Divine Steed Officer arre?"

"The Heavenly Court possesses divine horses capable of traversing heaven and earth and move between yin and yang. The Divine Steed Officer is responsible for overseeing and feeding these horses."

Hmm? Raising horses? <<less

When Muxi encountered that female zerg in the underground district,... more>>

The female zerg was covered in blood and was in a miserable state. Its pair of heterochromatic eyes stared blankly at him, reminding him of his exotic pet cat at home.

But how could an exotic pet cat be this dirty?

Muxi wanted to clean up the female zerg, so he bought it.

Later, Muxi discovered that the other party was actually a ferocious large beast, nothing like his perception of a purebred cat.

As he looked at the female zerg beside him, carefully retracting its claws and bone wings, Muxi hesitated:

Should he throw away this zerg he had personally trained?

Shi’an turned back, “Male Lord, are you going to wear your pajamas?”

“Yes.” Muxi kicked away the bone wings that had wrapped around him to protect his robe.

Shi’an: “?!!”

Shi’an stretched his body, displaying his strong, rippling muscles, “Male Lord, the pajamas aren’t warmer than I am.”

Muxi: “……” That’s true.

Qi Bai’s eyes shone, and he took a deep breath.

“Meow!” (Cool!)
