Chapter 84: The Qilin Clan

Three thousand rivers of weak water, yet I take but one dip.

You mean by “one dip” that you won’t miss a single dip, right?!

All the gods of Taiwei sighed in sorrow.

For the Great Dao of Water to be held by such a deity is nothing short of a catastrophe.

“Let me explain then.”

Taiyi shook his head and tapped the long table with his hand.

Clouds churned, a scroll unfurled, and a vast, boundless star map appeared before them.

“Let me find it… ah, this one!”

Taiyi gently tapped a corner of the star map; faint golden ripples of spacetime spread rapidly, one circle after another.

“I’ll take you all to take a look—what the Qilin Clan has created is quite interesting.”

Taiyi smiled as he opened several spacetime portals, inviting the Taiwei gods to join and experience it.

Everyone watched Taiyi’s actions, all filled with curiosity: “If our friend says so, we must go take a look!”

Xiang Xuanqing nodded: “Let’s go!”

“Let’s go!”

Eleven lights blazed within the Taiwei Wall.

Nine of them descended into the star map.

Taiyi’s form reappeared, grinning at Fuxi across from him.

“Friend Suixing, why aren’t you going?”

“Friend Taiyang, if we’re all moving together, why aren’t you going?” Fuxi countered.

Taiyi said: “When I stepped out today, I picked up a Qilin Clan star map of the myriad worlds. So I already know their layout—no need to go in and seek amusement.”

“Small world.”

Fuxi said: “I am skilled in the Art of Heavenly Mechanism. Just by glancing at your star map, I calculated the Qilin Clan’s layout.”

“Really? So good at calculation?” Taiyi grinned brightly.

“Of course.”

Fuxi spoke calmly.

“Didn’t Fuxi and Taiyi come down? What a shame.”

“For a Taiwei Wall team-building, they dare to sneak off.”

As lord of the Taiwei Wall, Xiang Xuanqing would not tolerate such disunity—he reached out and pulled both of them into his own timeline.

“Hey hey?!”

“No!”

The two, who had been probing each other, were suddenly drawn along with Xiang Xuanqing across infinite dimensions, descending into a great world.

“System, give me some points!”

When Taiyi awoke, he found himself shouting inwardly.

A phantom screen floated before his eyes.

【True Name: Dongfang】

【Age: 19】

【Strength: 8.1】

【Agility: 8.2】

【Constitution: 9+0.1】

【Charisma: 10】

【Mana: 100】

【Spells: Fire-Resist Spell (Beginner, 60%), Wind-Controlling Art (Proficient, 87%), Sword Art (Proficient, 83%)…】

A mysterious force strengthened Taiyi’s body; he felt his constitution improve.

“Another point-adding system? I’m quite familiar with this.”

Taiyi’s spiritual sense stirred slightly—he recognized what was on him, and found it unremarkable.

He gathered information about this world.

It was a minor world under the Tianyuan Great World, called Biyun World.

A world composed of many civilized settlements.

The settlement Taiyi was in belonged to the Chi Fang Tribe.

And himself.

“Flame Tiger? Well, still a beast. Looks like the Qilin Clan has poured a lot of resources into beasts!”

Taiyi sighed twice, then began searching for Xiang Xuanqing and Fuxi.

“Fuxi must know about this—looks like I wasn’t wrong; this guy really is Wuji Shenjun.”

“But I didn’t spot Ji Du among the Qilin Clan—I wonder if he can adapt.”

Taiyi had a disguise within the Qilin Clan.

But unlike Fuxi, who directly assumed the identity of an emperor, Taiyi merely created a low-profile avatar, joining a subordinate tribe of the Qilin Clan.

As far as he knew, after the Qilin Clan set the goal of stirring trouble across the myriad worlds, their internal plans multiplied endlessly.

One Shenjun proposed the “Fate-Child” plan: to cultivate fate-children across the myriad worlds and bring them under the Qilin Clan’s banner.

After all, the Qilin Clan excelled in “auspiciousness”—to pursue fate was only natural.

Originally, the Shenjun’s idea was simple: have Qilin clan members travel to various worlds.

Then select promising lifeforms, nurture them carefully, and gradually alter their fate.

For example, acting as a “senior elder,” crafting a “strange little bottle,” or having a young Qilin grow alongside the fate-child.

This was a very proper cultivation approach.

But the plan didn’t last long before it suddenly went off the rails.

Supposedly, some unknown Qilin genius had a flash of inspiration and created a system.

The thirty-six Shenjun gathered to study it, then gave the same reaction: “Oh, that’s interesting!”

Do it!

Do it big!

At first, the systems were still proper, focused on cultivation sims.

Like: Martial God Cultivation System, Supreme Cultivation System, Sect Leader System, Greatest Boss in History System…

Later, new twists emerged: Check-in System, Point-Adding System, Anti-Trope System…

Then, some other Qilin genius had another flash of inspiration and created the “Show Off to Grow Stronger” System.

And the entire Qilin Clan was instantly corrupted.

Absurd systems multiplied endlessly, wildly varied.

Like: Ultimate Roast System, Abstract Master Fast-Track System, Domineering Master Falls for Me System, Many Children, Many Blessings System…

The “Fate-Child” plan was now thoroughly derailed.

“Looking at this, the Qilin Clan isn’t simple—they’ve produced so many talents!”

Taiyi had long suspected that such absurd things were almost certainly created by some Upper Venerable within the Taiwei Wall.

But he had no proof.

Today he discovered “Wuji Shenjun” Fuxi, yet Taiyi felt Fuxi’s power still fell short—he wasn’t capable of such absurdity.

“Who could it be?”

“Of course, I didn’t make such absurd things.”

Facing Fuxi’s accusation, Xiang Xuanqing protested loudly: “You can’t slander someone’s reputation without evidence!”

“You don’t know how busy I’ve been lately—I’ve been rushing through the River of Time, helping unfortunate Daoists, fighting off demonic gods, and occasionally outwitting Luo Jinxian….”

Xiang Xuanqing recounted his hardships, emphasizing how difficult his life was.

“Of all these, which one is easy? I have no time for this nonsense.”

“Then why are you so familiar with the system?” Fuxi glanced at Xiang Xuanqing.

He trusted part of what Xiang Xuanqing said.

Because it was true.

But to claim the Qilin Clan’s antics had nothing to do with Xiang Xuanqing? Fuxi was the first to disbelieve it!

“I’ve never eaten dragon meat, but haven’t I seen dragons fly?”

Xiang Xuanqing snorted: “This is such a simple thing—you pick it up and you know how to use it.”

“And can you please follow the game rules? I’m having fun here—don’t interrupt me, okay?”

At this moment, Xiang Xuanqing was still playing the “Domineering Sect Master System.”

He was the sect leader of the Tianyuan Holy Sect in the Tianyuan Great World.

And Fuxi was a lifeform who had ascended from a subordinate minor world and had just become his disciple.

Xiang Xuanqing was eager to demonstrate his sect master’s dominance, to scold his disciple.

He watched as the disciple trembled, about to perform the three-kneels-nine-bows ritual.

Fuxi immediately refused.

“How boring.”

Xiang Xuanqing saw Fuxi detach directly from his original host and follow him like this; he shook his head.

"The one possessing you is also a child of destiny, isn't he? What system is he?"

Xiang Xuanqing asked curiously.

Fuxi raised an eyebrow: "You really want to know?"

"Go on, tell me."

"The Rebellious Disciple Against the Master System."

"..."

Xiang Xuanqing gave a cold command: Bring him! Expel him from the sect and send him to the leader of the Tianmo Sect!
