Siuteo

In the heart of the Azure Continent lies a legendary establishment known as Origin Mall.
This extraordinary store offers goods beyond imagination: a sip of its cola can instantly replenish one's vitality; its spicy snacks grant the strength to overcome powerful foes; the games it offers can accelerate cultivation progress; and its novels impart profound techniques and insights.
Origin Mall boasts a vast array of offerings, catering to leisure, entertainment, dining, and training needs alike.
However, there’s one rule that all visitors must remember: never cause trouble in the store. The owner, though unassuming, is unimaginably powerful.

The Omniversal Merchant

"Is this an VR game? It feels almost indistinguishable from reality!"

Yao Ziyan looked around at the grassland she was standing on, her face full of amazement.

"Be careful, the attack is coming soon," Luo Chuan's voice echoed just in time, snapping Yao Ziyan back to attention.

At that moment, Yao Ziyan had no cultivation and was just an ordinary person. However, unlike Luo Chuan earlier, Yao Ziyan held a silver-white dagger in her hand—an item she had taken from the store. The curved blade gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight.

Luo Chuan closely watched the screen, where Yao Ziyan stood in the middle of the grassland, the dagger in her hand making her appear almost part of the landscape—a beautiful, harmonious image.

Yao Ziyan whispered to herself as a wolf's howl rang through the air. A massive wolf, over three meters long, appeared, charging toward her.

Despite the danger, Yao Ziyan's expression remained calm. She moved with supernatural grace, bending at an angle impossible for a normal person to dodge the giant wolf's attack. With a swift motion, her figure glided across the ground, and the dagger in her hand sliced through the air with a sharp whistle.

In an instant, she straightened up, her expression serene and her long purple hair flowing in the wind.

The massive wolf crashed to the ground, its body falling lifelessly in two parts. Yao Ziyan had not only evaded the wolf's attack but had also dealt a fatal blow in the same moment.

At that moment, three more giant wolves appeared, surrounding her.

Yao Ziyan's demeanor remained unflustered as she tightly gripped her dagger, still managing to move with the same elegance and grace. Her actions were a seamless blend of offense and defense, like a moving work of art.

Watching Yao Ziyan take down the first giant wolf, Luo Chuan couldn't help but feel a slight twitch in his eyes. The same wolf that had overwhelmed him was now slain by his clerk.

Was the gap between them really this big?

A feeling of frustration washed over him, and he couldn't shake the discomfort of being outshone by his own employee.

"Boss, that was amazing! Is this world inside the game real?"

Yao Ziyan had already removed her helmet, her face alight with excitement.

"System, can the Tower of Trials be considered a special world?" Luo Chuan asked, a little curious himself.

The game felt so real it was hard to believe it was just a simulation.

"From the perspective of the host's current world level, you may consider it so," the system replied.

Luo Chuan was momentarily taken aback by the system's cryptic response. It seemed like the system was being unusually vague.

Turning to Yao Ziyan, Luo Chuan nodded. "Yes, you could say that."

Hearing this, Yao Ziyan's gaze turned even more admiring as she realized just how powerful her boss must be to create such a world.

"I'm going to buy breakfast. You can handle the store," Luo Chuan said as he prepared to leave.

Yao Ziyan nodded thoughtfully and decided to return to the Tower of Trials. The simple mode she had experienced earlier had been just the first level. She was curious about what the normal mode had in store—after all, if the simple mode involved just an ordinary wolf, the normal mode must offer something much more challenging.

Meanwhile, news had spread that the ruins in the Nine Stars Mountains were about to be opened, and Nine Stars City had seen a recent influx of strangers. With so many cultivators now gathered in the city, tensions were high. Most of these cultivators were arrogant, and it was only a matter of time before conflicts began to erupt.
