The Dark Marshlands neighbored on the southwestern border of the Kingdom of the Nine States, and it was only one hundred and fifty or so kilometers from Gem State.
An Lin contacted Xu Xiaolan with his voice transmission talisman, and he learned that their classmates had already arrived at Gem State.
Xu Xiaolan made an excuse for An Lin by telling their homeroom teacher that he was currently cultivating in seclusion in order to make a significant breakthrough in his cultivation base. Their homeroom teacher accepted this explanation without question. After all, the university was very lenient regarding such matters.
An Lin gathered Da Bai, Xiao Ze, and Xiao Chou. He also carefully wrapped Tina up in a miniature quilt. While cradling her in his arms, they then flew off on Da Bai’s back.
He needed to teleport through the university’s teleportation spell formation to get to Gem State.


Gem State was a memorable place for An Lin. Casting his mind back into the past, it was in Xixia City, which was located in Gem State, that he and Xu Xiaolan had met again. It was there that they had confessed their love for each other, and it was there that they had lived an ordinary life. Moreover, Xu Xiaolan had rebirthed her cultivation ability there. They had created countless beautiful and unforgettable memories there.
This time, An Lin’s destination was Huang Quan City, which was also in Gem State. This city was the polar opposite of the quiet and peaceful Xixia City. This city was filled with blood and murder, and violent skirmishes between the Blood Tribe and the human army were common. Huang Quan City was one of the most intense battlefields laying between the Kingdom of the Nine States and the Dark Marshlands.
As for the battles between the Blood Tribe and the Kingdom of the Nine States, the fault was obviously attributed to the Blood Tribe.
If it weren’t for the Blood Tribe’s thirst for human blood and their habit of killing large numbers of humans, the conflict wouldn’t have arisen between the two tribes.
Quite a number of human cities had been massacred by the Blood Tribe. In the eyes of humans, Blood Tribe cultivators were human-skinned demons.
Of course, the Blood Tribe didn’t target humans specifically. Rather, they hunted all intelligent lifeforms.
That’s right, Blood Tribe cultivators sucked the blood of all intelligent lifeforms! They were like bloodthirsty demons who couldn’t stop themselves from drinking blood. Even if their lives were threatened, they would still continue to battle for more blood!
In all honesty, An Lin felt that it was a miracle that the Blood Tribe still hadn’t been wiped off the face of Tai Chu Continent yet.
Perhaps one of the reasons was their overflowing vitality; Blood Tribe cultivators were extremely hard to kill.
Another reason was that their territory was too filthy. The deeper into the Dark Marshlands that one ventured, the more that one would be corroded. It was rumored that even the natural dao would be corroded if one were to venture into the core region of the Dark Marshlands. This was a terrifying place, and even True Gods of the Dao Integration Stage regarded it with fear and disdain. Perhaps it was this geographical advantage that enabled Blood Tribe cultivators to act so wantonly.


Huang Quan City.
A magnificent city wall towered from the black earth and stretched for as far as the eye could see.
Solid white mercury coated the city walls, and the gleaming sunshine bouncing off of it made it appear like a gigantic waterfall that separated heaven and earth. It was extremely breathtaking and splendid.
It was said that the mercury—which had been treated with immortal spells—could suppress the powers of weaker Blood Tribe cultivators. If it weren’t for this effect, the residents of this city wouldn’t have wasted their time engaging in such a massive project.
Up in the sky, a large white dog broke through the layers of clouds. It clicked its tongue in wonder as it gazed at the magnificent city in the distance.
Even Xiao Chou couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration,
Big Brother An, the city we’re defending this year looks far more impressive than Ding’an City that we went to two years ago!


Of course! That time, we were battling against brainless mutant beasts, whereas this time, we’re going to be battling against intelligent and cruel mosquitos! They’re on completely different levels!


Big Brother An, don’t you have a few underlings here? When are you going to call them over to meet with us? Woof!
Da Bai chimed in enthusiastically.

Them… We’ll let them stay put for the moment.
A look of anticipation appeared across An Lin’s face as he explained,
Cassidy is the sect leader of the Heavenly Blood Sect, Merlin is the hall master of the Soul Blood Hall, and Tobias is the grand elder of the Blood Tribe’s Divine Disc League. Each of them has a high standing and possesses an elite army of Blood Tribe cultivators. Carelessly calling them over might be detrimental to all of us. We need to act according to the circumstances.

An Lin had a clear plan in mind. Under the current circumstances, he definitely couldn’t have them blow their covers. Some things had to be done slowly and carefully.



Big Brother An… Big Brother An!

An Lin was still riding atop Da Bai high up in the sky, yet a few of his classmates on the city wall had already spotted him and were waving excitedly at him.
There was a pretty girl who had short black hair, a buff male, a scholarly looking male who was waving a fan, and a large mob of fangirls.
An Lin cracked into a smile upon seeing the familiar faces of his teammates from yesteryear.
Hey, Miao Tian, Luo Ziping, Zong Yongyan, Sun Shenglian! Long time no see!

Da Bai had a haughty look on his face as he landed on the city wall.
Miao Tian was jubilant as she ran toward Da Bai and patted his head.
Da Bai, it’s been ages since I’ve had ‘stuffed buns ignored by you’1
! Do you still have any?


Sure I do, ten thousand spirit stones a steamer, woof!
Da Bai snapped.
Miao Tian pursed her dainty lips.
So stingy!


Big Brother An hasn’t attended any classes for such a long time, what have you been busy with?
Zong Yongyan asked this question with grace and elegance as he waved his fan.
A mysterious smile surfaced on An Lin’s face.
Me… I’ve been busy with creating a world, of course.



Creating a world? 
Everyone instantly fell silent, and they all widened their eyes in disbelief.

Big Brother An, I can’t help but ask this. What do you mean by ‘creating a world’?
Luo Ziping was unable to contain his curiosity.
He felt that he was perhaps misunderstanding this phrase, thus he asked this question for some confirmation.

It’s exactly what the words say, I’m currently creating a world,
An Lin replied seriously.
His four teammates all drew in a sharp breath, and they gazed at the male before them with shock and veneration.
A male who can create a world… fcking badss!

Just as An Lin was about to continue showing off, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded from behind him,
An Lin, you still know to come here, huh?

He turned around and found a slender female looking at him with a faint smile. She was dressed in a jet-black robe, and her skin appeared soft and delicate.
An Lin’s air of mysteriousness instantly vanished, and he shuffled up to the female fawningly.
Celestial Maiden Xiaolan, how could I not follow you over here? I’ll explain…

Miao Tian and the others had just started to develop a strong sense of respect and reverence toward the male before them. However, the high and mighty figure that was forming in their minds instantly shattered into countless pieces when they saw the male shuffle toward Xu Xiaolan obsequiously.



Big Brother An has changed…
Zong Yongyan shook his head and sighed.

Henpecked husband?
Miao Tian rolled her eyes.
Luo Ziping scratched his head.
So, are we still going to follow him then?


A starving camel is still bigger than a horse,
Sun Shenglian said in a cold voice.
Besides, Big Brother An hasn’t ‘starved’ to death yet. It’s just that he’s more cowardly in front of Student Xiaolan.

After a short discussion, the four of them decided to continue following An Lin.
During their first year, they were fortunate enough to ride on An Lin’s coattail, and as a result, they were able to obtain the inheritances that lay in the Purple Star ruins. Now, they had all broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage already, and they were all ranked in the top thirty on the university’s Immortal Rankings Board.
Although this had to do with their natural talents, it was undeniable that An Lin’s influence also played a major role in their development.
So this time, they were definitely going to ride on Big Brother An’s coattail again!
