"What is that?!"
Zhou Zan tried to back away, but found that he had lost control of his body. His hand reached out on its own, and the man in black slowly approached, eventually interlocking his fingers with Zhou Zan's.
"fine!"
Zhou Zan breathed a sigh of relief; nothing strange had happened. But the next moment, a huge shadow enveloped her, and the black-clad man in front of her transformed into a fleshy monster with a gaping maw, its stench spraying onto her face. Her hand was now clenched against the enormous claw.
"How's this gift?"
The monster's enormous purple eyes were pressed tightly against Zhou Zan's face, and it grinned maliciously as it asked, "How is this gift?"
"Aaaaaah!"
Zhou Zan screamed in alarm, then was suddenly slapped. His legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his head in pain.
"What’s wrong with you?"
The familiar voice rang out, and Zhou Zan calmed down, only to find himself back on the familiar street, where everything seemed unchanged.
Where is this?
Zhou Zan asked in disbelief, but was instead pinched on the cheek and asked, "Are you stupid? You just told me to film you hitting on a handsome guy, but you ended up screaming and falling to the ground while the handsome guy was already far away!"
"They've gone far away!"
Zhou Zan looked around but couldn't find the man in black anywhere; it seemed like it was all just her imagination...

Chapter 288: Life, Ah~ Young Man, Chase Your Dreams!
Xu Le sat in the car watching the two girls hurriedly leave, his gaze calm. He wondered what the recent trend was, why so many women would take out their phones and film him whenever he went out, which annoyed him to no end. However, he was currently cultivating his mind and would not kill indiscriminately; a small punishment would suffice!
Women who have not cultivated themselves, unless they have a special constitution or have obtained an opportunity to maintain their purity, will generally have their bodies accumulate more impure energy due to their life in the world.
Therefore, the more beautiful a woman is, the less impure energy she has. This is also why cultivators are usually handsome men and beautiful women. Xu Le naturally wouldn't be interested in ordinary women.
After wandering around for a long time, Xu Le realized that he was quite out of touch with the real world. This disconnect was not because he could not adapt to the world, but because his power was too great and his perspective on the world was different. When he was among ordinary people, he was like an elephant among ants. He could cause a huge disaster with just a breath.
Things he couldn't do before, he could do with ease; everything he longed for before, he could grasp in his hand with just a reach. This made him feel somewhat surreal. Occasionally, he would wonder if all of this was a dream, or if he wasn't really himself, but a character in a story, his life written by a pen.
"The Gate to All Realms..."
Xu Le leaned back in his chair and murmured softly. A ray of white light was born in his eyes, then vanished, and then was born again, repeating this cycle endlessly, forming a charm called eternity.
Xu Le already had some guesses about the origin of the Gate of Myriad Realms. He could deny whether his golden finger was just someone else's prank. As for his selection, it was not a coincidence; everything was destined. However, at least a major worry was gone.
Calming himself down and watching the passersby, Xu Le felt incredibly bored. Although Earth possessed the special ability to communicate with all worlds, it didn't inherently possess any powerful supernatural abilities. It could only be considered a low-level supernatural world. The ghosts and monsters that had appeared before were already among the strongest supernatural abilities in the world.
"Oh right, the fourth cheat code hasn't been distributed yet!"
Xu Le suddenly remembered that he was planning to organize a God's Game similar to the Holy Grail. If he didn't prepare it in time, it would be boring if the difference in strength between the people was too great!
………………
Ring ring!
When the school bell rang, all the students' faces lit up with joy. As soon as the teacher said "school's out," they rushed out impatiently.
Looking at his group of vibrant classmates, the king shook his head helplessly. He realized that he had been in the apocalypse for too long and hadn't changed his mindset. He still seemed like a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties. Although this weathered look attracted many female admirers, it didn't suit his current identity.
"We can only turn things around slowly!"
As Wang Zhe packed his schoolbag and slung it over one shoulder, he spotted a familiar figure as he walked out of the classroom and blurted out instinctively, "Aren't you home yet?"
The person in front of him was Zhao Qingge, the prettiest girl in his class.
Zhao Qingge was wearing a simple, unremarkable school uniform. The oversized uniform did not hide her delicate features; instead, it made her look even cuter. At this moment, her face was slightly flushed as she stared at Wang Zhe and said nervously, "Let's go home together!"
Wang Zhe was taken aback, but he understood from her expression. He was no young man. Decades of memories and his life of intrigue in the apocalypse had given him a keen understanding of human nature. This was why he had transformed from an ordinary high school student into a prominent figure not long after his rebirth. Because he always knew when to stop, most people liked him.
After thinking for a few seconds, the king smiled and nodded in agreement, "Great! We're going the same way, let's go back together!"
"Uh-huh!"
Zhao Qingge's awkward expression subsided, and she smiled, as beautiful and charming as a delicate peony. The king beside her was stunned and thought to himself: Being with him is not bad!
As they played and left, a figure lurked in a corner, staring at the seemingly perfect couple. His eyes were bloodshot, and he muttered under his breath, "Why! We grew up together, I've liked you since elementary school, and I've been pursuing you since middle school. Why don't you like me? What does he have that I don't?"
A short-haired man emerged from the corner, his handsome face twisted into a terrifying expression, his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
"Am I just going to stand by and watch him take everything away from me?"
His name is Wang Cheng. He was doing very well at school because of his wealthy family background and his talent. But all of this changed with the appearance of the king!
His eye-catching status and the woman he liked were all taken away from him. He found someone to beat him up, but he also regained those people. He was like a villain in an animation, constantly sending equipment to the protagonist and giving him slaps in the face to gain experience.
"Do you feel like a piece of trash? Call upon the gods and rewrite your life!"
"who!"
Wang Cheng turned around abruptly, looking around but finding no one. At that moment, that voice echoed in his mind again: "Do you feel like trash? Call upon the gods and rewrite your life!"
"What is that?!"
Wang Cheng was terrified, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find the person who played the prank. At that moment, a thought popped into his head: "Could it really be a cheat code!"
