When evidence is lacking, make up for it with firepower!

　　Within range, truth is everywhere!

　　For example, if you want to reason with that Golden Core stage cultivator, you can bring this two-hundred-megaton hydrogen bomb with you.

　　If your opponent is a major sect, I suggest you buy a meteorite already accelerated to sixty kilometers per second, ten kilometers in diameter, and aim it at their sect. They will definitely hope you’ll take your time to talk things over.

　　Hmm?

　　The enemy has occupied an entire world and acts overbearing and rude?

　　This primordial black hole is just perfect for the job.

Chapter One: One Hundred and Eight Ways to Destroy the World

　　Tian Nan Region.

　　Baiyu City, a major city under the jurisdiction of the Tian Nan Region’s lord.

　　Population: ten million.

　　The city walls are inscribed with formation arrays, heavily guarded, with a Golden Core grand cultivator stationed there—demons and monsters can hardly invade.

　　To the south of the city, pavilions are everywhere, with flying eaves and upturned corners.

　　In a luxurious estate covering over ten thousand square meters, Emily Harris, dressed in a pure white long dress and in the prime of her youth, spoke softly, her tone of reprimand tinged with disappointment.

　　“Henry Carter, as a man, you should have a man’s breadth and magnanimity. There’s really nothing between me and him, we’re just ordinary friends of the opposite sex. But you, so petty—just because I spoke a few more words with him, you childishly lost your temper and even thought about solving things with violence. Such behavior is truly despicable and shameful.”

　　Henry Carter looked at this girl, whose icy skin and jade bones, beauty and temperament were all top-notch, and for a moment, he didn’t react.

　　After all, just an hour ago, he was reading a fantasy book titled “One Hundred and Eight Ways to Destroy the World,” complaining as he read: “What kind of idiot wrote this book? The world offended you, so you destroy it? And in one hundred and eight ways?”

　　Then, he felt the outside become extremely bright, and the “height” dimension among length, width, and height kept shrinking, as if all matter was collapsing into two dimensions, forming an absolute plane with only length and width.

　　And then...

　　He woke up in this body.

　　Before he could fully digest the memories, the girl hurried over.

　　“To show your ability as a man, you should cultivate diligently and defeat everyone in Qi Refining. If you can stand at the top of Baiyu Taixu Academy by your own efforts, without relying on your family at all, I believe even Uncle would be very gratified and think you’ve truly grown up.”

　　Henry Carter looked at her. This woman...

　　Emily Harris, his fiancée?

　　“I hope my future Dao companion is a man who can make his own way, achieve something great, and stand tall, someone with responsibility, ability, and courage—not someone who spends all day fussing over trivial matters, chasing shadows, and focusing all his time and energy on the people around me.”

　　As Emily Harris spoke, she bit her lip.

　　Her eyes, clear as water, were filled with disappointment, yet seemed to hold a trace of hope: “The most important thing between people is trust. Henry Carter, I trust you, but do you really not trust me?”

　　“I do.”

　　Henry Carter replied.

　　But for some reason, this fiancée, whom he had thought was pure and adorable, now seemed a bit...

　　Like she was putting on an act?

　　“If you really trust me, then get some rest.”

　　Emily Harris’s voice softened: “Let’s leave it at that. I believe in your talent. As long as you’re willing to spend more time cultivating, you’ll become the best student in Baiyu Taixu Academy one day.”

　　Having received Henry Carter’s affirmation, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, showed some concern, and then left.

　　After she left, Henry Carter finally calmed down and began to recall.

　　The The Carter Family, the top family in the Tian Nan Region.

　　A true local powerhouse.

　　With the regional lord not interfering, the The Carter Patriarch was one of the most powerful people in the entire Tian Nan Region, in charge of the Sky-Patrolling Hall.

　　The lords of all 138 cities in the Tian Nan Region, as well as the so-called top families, local sects, and cultivation clans in those cities, all had to find ways to curry favor with the The Carter Patriarch.

　　Over hundreds of years, the The Carter Family had spread its branches throughout all the cities of Tian Nan. His father, William Carter, was the head of the Baiyu City branch.

　　In other words, he, Henry Carter, was the eldest young master of the The Carter Family in Baiyu City.

　　A month ago, there were sporadic reports from his underlings that his fiancée Emily Harris was getting close to Edward Bennett, the top disciple of Taixu Academy.

　　The original host questioned Emily Harris, but she always flatly denied it. Plus, he felt he had to trust her, so nothing more came of it.

　　Last night, an underling brought a recording stone, which showed Emily Harris and Edward Bennett together in the small woods of Taixu Academy, talking and laughing.

　　The furious original host lost his mind, tried to rush over and teach Edward Bennett a lesson with his half-baked movement technique, and as a result...

　　He ran too fast, slipped while leaping over a tall building, fell headfirst, and—

　　Crack. Dead.

　　In the end, “Henry Carter” became Henry Carter, and was brought home by the servants to recover.

　　After digesting this information, Henry Carter was a bit speechless.

　　At the same time, he understood why Emily Harris kept hinting that he shouldn’t use the family’s power to take revenge on Edward Bennett.

　　With the The Carter Family’s influence, if they wanted to bully someone, dealing with a mere Edward Bennett would be no harder than crushing an ant.

　　Even Edward Bennett’s status as the top student of Taixu Academy would be of no use.
