"Synopsis: Who is he? He is the man standing at the pinnacle of order! He is also a being that strikes fear into everyone's hearts! The first forbidden myth to leave Paradise Island! He wields monstrous power; his wealth rivals nations; he is unmatched in this world! The Heavenly King of Kyushu returns, and all living things grovel in submission!"
Chapter 1: Respectfully Bidding Farewell to the Dark Lord!
Chapter 1: Respectfully Bidding Farewell to the Dark Lord!
There is a place in this world—it does not exist on any map, and satellites cannot find it.
It is called Paradise Island.
It is known as the sanctuary for the world's power elite!
No matter how heinous a crime you have committed, once you enter Paradise Island, all laws and rules no longer apply to you, and not a single soul in the entire world dares to touch you!
Once upon a time, thirty thousand troops dispatched by various Western nations attempted to level Paradise Island in a single sweep, only to be completely wiped out...
Many factions and martial arts masters have tried to destroy Paradise Island, but without exception, every single one of them failed.
The price, however, was that once you entered, you had to remain here for all eternity!
Because of the ten invincible Island Guardians!
Yet today, the myth that no one ever leaves Paradise Island was shattered!
That man is Ye Lingtian, whom everyone on Paradise Island calls the "Dark Lord"!
A saying circulates throughout Paradise Island: There are two things in this world that cannot be looked upon directly—the sun, and the Dark Lord.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Dark Lord!"
...
Everyone on Paradise Island stood together, adopting devout postures of reverence as they chanted in unison.
With eyes filled with madness and awe, they looked upon the god within their hearts!
They used their highest ritual to send off the King of Kings.
Arriving at the exit, the Ten Island Guardians were already waiting with dozens of people.
They represented everyone on Paradise Island!
"Dark Lord, from now on, the most powerful assassin organization in the world is at your disposal!"
"Dark Lord, from now on, the most powerful mercenary group in the world is at your disposal!"
...
These people were either kings of assassins or emperors of mercenaries, and they all vied to have Ye Lingtian take over their organizations.
Finally, an elderly man eagerly grasped Ye Lingtian's hand: "Dark Lord, as long as you accept this card, one-tenth of the wealth in this world will belong to you! The Black Gold Consortium, Northern Europe's premier financial group, will serve you alone!"
Before this old fellow was imprisoned, he was known as the Bill Gates of the dark world.
Describing his wealth as rivaling a nation was not even enough.
Ye Lingtian accepted it.
These things were completely useless on Paradise Island, but they would be immensely useful in the outside world.
The Ten Island Guardians looked at Ye Lingtian with complex expressions.
Paradise Island could contain everything in this world, yet it could not contain the man standing right before them!
"Rumble..."
The Gates of Paradise—capable of withstanding a nuclear strike—slowly swung open.
"Actually, I could have defeated all of you when I was fourteen!"
He had already departed, but his voice echoed from afar!
The bodies of the Ten Island Guardians trembled violently!
"Whoosh!"
Having left Paradise Island, Ye Lingtian's thoughts soared!
He was originally the young master of the Ye Clan of Longdu, the premier family of the Dragon Kingdom.
The Longdu Ye Clan was hailed as the foremost among a hundred clans.
The family was brimming with exceptional talents, spreading across the military, commercial, and political spheres.
His father, Ye Xiaokun, possessed astonishing talent and was the primary successor to the Ye Clan head!
Ye Lingtian should have enjoyed boundless glory, born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Unfortunately, he was merely an illegitimate son!
The Ye Clan despised Zhou Xueqing for her humble and lowly background, deeming her unworthy of marrying into the Ye Clan.
They even believed that the evil seed in her belly would pollute the Ye Family's bloodline and absolutely refused to let it be born, vowing to eliminate mother and son alike.
The pregnant Zhou Xueqing fled Longdu, enduring over a hundred assassination attempts and escaping death by a hair's breadth.
Later, in Jiangcheng, she was helped by her best friend, He Wenqian, and gave birth to Ye Lingtian.
He Wenqian also became Ye Lingtian's adoptive mother.
To avoid implicating He Wenqian, Zhou Xueqing took Ye Lingtian and fled abroad.
In their moment of crisis, they unexpectedly ran into the master of Paradise Island!
At Zhou Xueqing's earnest plea, the master of Paradise Island brought Ye Lingtian back to Paradise Island.
She left Ye Lingtian a note: He must stay on Paradise Island for the rest of his life, never harbor the thought of leaving, and certainly never think of seeking revenge against the Ye Family!
Yet how could Ye Lingtian possibly spend his entire life on Paradise Island?
He had to go out to find his mother, and he had to go out to exact revenge!
The rule of Paradise Island was simple: you could leave, provided you defeated the Ten Island Guardians!
Yet the Island Guardians were far too strong!
No one could defeat them!
Ever since he could remember, defeating the Island Guardians had been Ye Lingtian's goal.
He took the master of Paradise Island as his mentor and mastered heaven-defying skills.
In truth, he could have defeated the Island Guardians at fourteen!
Yet he waited another six years because he needed the subterranean earth veins of Paradise Island to suppress the Congenital Fire Poison within his body!
Someone had inflicted the Congenital Fire Poison upon him even before he was born!
By the time the master of Paradise Island discovered it, it was already too late; he could only suppress it, not eradicate it!
Now that he was leaving, it was also related to the fact that the earth veins here were exhausted and could no longer suppress his Congenital Fire Poison.
Over the next few months.
While tracking down his mother's whereabouts, Ye Lingtian took over organizations like the Black Gold Consortium and subjugated a group of bigwigs as his subordinates.
He also casually washed the global Top 100 God of War rankings in blood, executing numerous martial arts gods as well as the supreme powerhouses on the assassin and mercenary leaderboards, avenging and clearing the names of old friends from Paradise Island.
However, clues regarding his mother were virtually nonexistent; everything pointed toward the Dragon Kingdom!
Subsequently, Ye Lingtian contacted his adoptive mother and prepared to return to the Dragon Kingdom.
Before returning to the Dragon Kingdom, the Black Gold Consortium made advance deployments, making a high-profile entry into Jiangcheng, Dragon Kingdom, which caused a massive uproar.
Ye Lingtian brought only the Black Emperor—the leader of the four emperors of the Western dark world and the controller of the Black Gold Consortium—back to the country with him.
He was now Ye Lingtian's servant!
This return to the country—
First, to find his mother;
Second, to repay the kindness of his adoptive mother;
Third, to find a way to suppress the Congenital Fire Poison;
Fourth, to exact revenge!
On the private jet, as they were about to arrive in Jiangcheng.
The Black Emperor suddenly received major news.
"Master! The Four Great Guardian Gods of the Dragon Kingdom have joined forces, leading all the powerhouses of the Four Great God of War Palaces to block you from entering the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Those who block me shall die!"
Ye Lingtian uttered only those words.
Jiangcheng International Airport.
He Wenqian, her husband Chen Guiyuan, and their daughter Chen Xiaoran were waiting.
"What? Mom, you're letting a completely irrelevant person move into our house?"
Chen Xiaoran could not fathom a strange male suddenly moving into her home.
He Wenqian, however, wore an excited expression: "What do you mean, completely irrelevant? That's my adoptive son, and he's even betrothed to you."
"Mom, I am firmly opposed to this matter!"
Chen Xiaoran was one of the Four Beauties of Jiangcheng and a university campus belle, with countless suitors trailing after her.
Her father, Chen Guiyuan, was even a tycoon in Jiangcheng with a net worth in the tens of billions.
This gave Chen Xiaoran exceptionally high standards!
She looked down upon all those top prodigies in Jiangcheng!
At the very least, they had to be top prodigies from the Beijing or Shanghai circles!
Her ideal type was the Kunlun War God of the Dragon Kingdom!
He was ranked first on the global Top 100 God of War rankings!
When He Wenqian mentioned Ye Lingtian, she subconsciously compared him to the Kunlun War God.
The difference was like heaven and earth.
And he was going to move into her house, under the same roof.
And get married?
Unbearable!
Chen Guiyuan spoke up: "Wanting to marry my daughter is not that simple! He has to pull out earth-shattering skills or background! At the very least, he has to surpass me!"
He Wenqian was about to say something when the airport suddenly plunged into chaos.
Countless men in black appeared.
The airport was sealed off.
No one was allowed to enter or exit.
Armored vehicles appeared one after another, densely packing and surrounding the airport on all sides.
"This is from the Kunlun God of War Palace!"
Chen Xiaoran, who was familiar with the Kunlun War God, cried out in alarm.
"This is the Tiance God of War Palace!"
"The Asura God of War Palace..."
"The Yinlong God of War Palace..."
Exclamation after exclamation escaped her lips.
Chapter 2: The Four Great War Gods Block the Way!
Chapter 2: The Four Great War Gods Block the Way!
Upon learning that the great fiend who had washed the global Top 100 God of War rankings, the assassin leaderboard, and the mercenary leaderboard in blood was coming to the Dragon Kingdom, the Four Great Guardian Gods of the Dragon Kingdom hurriedly rushed to the Jiangzhou Airport to block him.
They absolutely could not allow Ye Lingtian to set foot on the soil of the Dragon Kingdom.
The plane landed.
After Ye Lingtian and the Black Emperor stepped off, not a single plane took off or landed across the massive airport.
Before them stood a dense crowd of powerhouses.
They formed battle arrays, waiting in strict battle readiness, staring fixedly ahead.
The four leading figures merely stood there, yet they radiated a crushing pressure akin to Mount Tai pressing down from above!
Like four towering mountains impossible to scale!
Kunlun War God, ranked first on the global Top 100 God of War rankings!
Tiance War God, ranked third on the global Top 100 God of War rankings!
Asura War God, ranked fifth on the global Top 100 God of War rankings!
Yinlong War God, ranked sixth on the global Top 100 God of War rankings!
These four figures, whose names struck terror into hearts both at home and abroad, had actually spared no expense today to unite solely for the purpose of blocking Ye Lingtian's entry.
This was also the first time in history that the Four Great War Gods of the Dragon Kingdom had joined forces!
The hazard coefficient of Ye Lingtian was simply too high!
The highest level in history!
The second, fourth, and seventh ranked fighters on the God of War rankings had all been killed by him!
Therefore, they gathered all their powerhouses in a short period of time, solely for this interception!
Otherwise, the Dragon Kingdom might plunge into disaster!
"Your Excellency, please halt!"
"No matter what your purpose is, you must never set foot in the Dragon Kingdom!"
"We have already arranged a private jet for you, please return!"
The Kunlun War God spoke, attempting to persuade him to turn back.
"I am a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom. Do I need permission to return to my own country?"
Ye Lingtian sneered.
"Impossible!!!"
"We have checked, your records do not exist! You are not a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom! Please turn around and leave!"
The Asura War God rebuked sternly.
Ye Lingtian said indifferently: "Step aside!"
If not for the consideration that they were fellow countrymen of the Dragon Kingdom, anyone daring to obstruct him like this would already be corpses.
"Impossible! You are strictly forbidden from taking a single step into the Dragon Kingdom! Turn back!"
The Tiance War God and Yinlong War God suddenly raised their voices, sounding like booming temple bells!
"Turn back!"
"Turn back!"
"Turn back!"
......
Behind them, the tens of thousands of powerhouses from the Four Great God of War Palaces shouted in unison, their sound waves rolling like thunder, their momentum swallowing mountains and rivers.
These were the most elite powerhouses of the Four Great God of War Palaces!
On a battlefield, this momentum alone was enough to scare countless enemies into surrendering.
Yet Ye Lingtian ignored everything before him. He looked at the Kunlun War God and smiled: "Young man, I remember you. Two years ago, you went to Paradise Island to challenge the Island Guardians! But you lost!"
"Rumble......"
With a single sentence, the expression of the Kunlun War God changed drastically.
Two years ago, he fought a supreme battle that sealed his legend, ranking first on the global Top 100 God of War rankings.
Bursting with self-confidence, he went to Paradise Island to challenge the Island Guardians, only to be defeated.
"You, you, you, you...... Could you possibly be a person from Paradise Island?"
The Kunlun War God looked as though he had seen a ghost or a god, his face filled with terror.
"To be exact, no. I merely grew up on Paradise Island!"
Ye Lingtian replied.
The Kunlun War God trembled all over: "Then how on earth did you leave Paradise Island?"
"By defeating the Ten Island Guardians, of course! Isn't that the rule of Paradise Island?"
Ye Lingtian's simple sentence drove the Kunlun War God to the brink of madness.
Could someone in this world actually defeat the Paradise Island Guardians?
All ten of them!
He had challenged the Island Guardians and knew better than anyone just how powerful they were!
Like gods and demons!
A single one of them far surpassed him!
All ten of them......
Hiss!
The man before his eyes was actually the very first person to leave Paradise Island...
The Kunlun War God was shocked to an incomparable degree!
The other three War Gods were also well-versed in everything concerning Paradise Island, and their courage was utterly shattered as well!
This......
All Four Great War Gods were trembling!
"Step aside! I won't say it a second time!"
Ye Lingtian's words cracked like spring thunder.
"But......"
The Four Great War Gods hesitated slightly.
"Bang!"
Ye Lingtian said nothing more, merely tapping his right foot lightly against the ground.
"Rumble......"
Instantly, a force capable of splitting the earth surged and billowed outward.
It instantly enveloped the Four Great War Gods and everyone behind them.
"Boom!"
At that moment, every single person felt as though a massive mountain was pressing down upon them.
This force descended with rolling pressure.
Like majestic heavenly might, no one could resist it.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
......
One by one, their bodies were bent under the pressure, and their legs buckled, causing them to drop to their knees on the ground.
In the end, even the four Kunlun War Gods could no longer resist the rolling pressure and sank to their knees.
Before their eyes unfolded a shocking scene—everyone knelt before Ye Lingtian with faces of agony.
Following that, Ye Lingtian walked right out of the airport under their very eyes.
Everyone wanted to stop him, but they were utterly powerless.
The four Kunlun War Gods looked at each other, wearing helpless expressions.
It wasn't that they didn't want to stop him; the gap in strength was simply too vast.
Ye Lingtian was like a heavenly deity, how could they possibly stop him?
Now they finally understood why Ye Lingtian was the very first entity to ever walk out of Paradise Island...
"I have come to the Dragon Kingdom only to handle personal matters. None of you are to come and harass me; otherwise, execute without mercy!"
"Xiao Hei, you handle the rest!"
Ye Lingtian had already vanished from their sight.
Yet his loud, bell-like voice rang out clearly in everyone's ears, striking like thunder.
Afterward, the four Kunlun War Gods discussed with the Black Emperor about hosting a grand welcoming ceremony for Ye Lingtian's arrival!
They wanted to show goodwill to Ye Lingtian, aiming to be friends rather than enemies.
The Black Emperor agreed.
His master deserved this kind of spectacle!
Outside.
He Wenqian and her companions wore anxious expressions, desperate to know what had happened inside.
The Four Great Guardian Gods and the Four Great God of War Palaces had arrived in person and sealed off the airport.
Something major must have happened.
The crucial point was that Ye Lingtian's flight had just landed.
At that moment, a tall figure appeared.
Before coming, Ye Lingtian had checked the information on his adoptive mother's family, making it easy to recognize them.
"Adoptive Mother!"
Reaching He Wenqian, Ye Lingtian called out.
"Ah?"
He Wenqian froze, carefully sizing up Ye Lingtian.
Indeed, she could trace the shadows of both Ye Xiaokun and Zhou Xueqing in him.
"You're Lingtian? You've grown up! Wonderful, truly wonderful!"
He Wenqian burst into tears of joy and hugged Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian was deeply moved; this was not just his adoptive mother, but his savior!
Without her!
He would have died long ago!
"Adoptive Father! I've heard of your renown back overseas, the Medicine King of Jiangcheng!"
"Sister Xiaoran! You've grown so pretty! Truly one of the Four Beauties of Jiangcheng!"
Ye Lingtian greeted the other two as well.
They were his and his mother's saviors, which was why he treated them this way.
Where else would anyone else receive such treatment?
"Hmph!"
Chen Guiyuan, who had been observing the whole time, merely uttered a grunt of acknowledgment.
With his status as the Medicine King of Jiangzhou, naturally, he wouldn't warm up to some random poor kid who suddenly popped up.
In his eyes, Ye Lingtian held zero value.
Naturally, he couldn't muster any interest in such a person.
Especially knowing that his wife had intentions of marrying their daughter off to him, he harbored even less favorable impressions of Ye Lingtian.
"Hmph!"
Chen Xiaoran let out a soft huff.
From her perspective, Ye Lingtian was simply someone who couldn't make it out there in the world and had run back to latch onto their family.
Judging by his greetings just now, he had clearly done thorough research and preparation.
He was all set to sponge off their family.
She would never allow an outsider to move into her house!
"Right, Tian'er, what on earth happened inside the airport? It was all sealed off?"
He Wenqian asked curiously.
Ye Lingtian had just come out of the airport; he might just know what was going on inside.
Chen Guiyuan and Chen Xiaoran also leaned in closer.
Chapter 3: They're Kneeling Right Now!
Chapter 3: They're Kneeling Right Now!
"Oh, that matter? The Four Great War Gods of the Dragon Kingdom tried to stop me from coming to the Dragon Kingdom!"
Ye Lingtian's casual remark caused the expressions of all three to change drastically.
"Pfft! What nonsense are you spouting? Mom, look at what kind of person this is! He can just blow such bragging words out of thin air!"
Chen Xiaoran was already dissatisfied, and upon hearing this, she immediately let loose her grievances.
Chen Guiyuan's expression darkened as well.
He Wenqian was completely dumbfounded!
How could this child be like this?
So unreliable and reckless!
The Four Great War Gods joining forces for the very first time to block someone?
Just what kind of status would you need to have for that?
Even the eyes-reaching-the-heavens Ye Clan probably couldn't pull that off by a long shot!
Even though they were a wealthy family in Jiangcheng with assets exceeding ten billion, the Four Great Guardian Gods were like illusory myths to them, completely out of reach.
"Heh, even if the Four Great War Gods tried to stop you, could you have just walked out?"
Chen Xiaoran was determined to puncture Ye Lingtian's lie!
"Oh, they're kneeling right now!"
Ye Lingtian said indifferently.
"Mom! Did you hear that?"
Chen Xiaoran was utterly exasperated.
Was this guy a lunatic?
Daring to spout whatever nonsense came to mind?
If he moved into her house, would there be any peace left?
And he even wanted to marry her!
Unimaginable!
"Sigh!"
Chen Guiyuan also wore a look of intense displeasure.
What he detested most were unreliable people full of empty lies!
In the business world, such people were the least trustworthy.
"Alright, Tian'er, just joking around, aren't you! Let's talk once we get home!"
He Wenqian urged.
In the end, the group boarded a stretched Lincoln.
Chen Xiaoran turned her head away and began looking through documents.
Because tomorrow she was going to attend the interview for the Black Gold Consortium.
The Black Gold Consortium was making its first entry into the Dragon Kingdom, causing a sensation throughout Jiangcheng and even the entire country.
Countless people were fighting tooth and nail just to get into the Black Gold Consortium!
It was exceptionally difficult to enter!
He Wenqian couldn't help chiming in: "Xiaoran, why aren't you talking to Tian'er? Tian'er is a guest, be a bit more welcoming!"
"Fine, don't blame me!"
Chen Xiaoran turned her head back, looked at Ye Lingtian, and asked, "What is your educational background?"
Ye Lingtian replied: "I've never been to school!"
He had grown up on Paradise Island since childhood, when would he ever have gone to school?
"Ah? Never been to school?"
Even Chen Guiyuan was stunned by this.
An illiterate!
How could this possibly match my daughter?
Chen Xiaoran smiled and continued asking, "Then what kind of work do you do now?"
"I don't have a job either!"
