Global Collapse - Chapter 696 - 661: The Ghost Runs Amok in the Middle of July, Gugu Truly Does Not Deceive Me_1

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Notes:
(1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

Humanity collapsed in a single night.When the sky darkened and a perpetual night arrived, even the strongest monsters turned feral, tearing through cities until nothing was left but ruin.Dying alone in the ruined world, Ryn Eden Arctis finally understood the truth.Years ago, he was given a strange skillbook—one the church labeled taboo, one no one dared to touch. But the world had taken it away from him.However, he knew that—whatever was inside it, had to be powerful enough for him to stop this calamity.His final regret echoed through the silent wasteland:“If I had learned that damn book, we’d still be alive.”With his dying breath, he wished for only one thing:To go back in time and claim that forbidden power, no matter what.A single star answered.Ryn opens his eyes ten years earlier, on the day he received his first skill.WHAT TO EXPECT:- Korean Regressor Fantasy, if you like that genre this might be the one for you. Think (Trash of the Count's Family, Swordmaster's Youngest Son, FFF-Class Trash Hero)- Romance subplot is prevalent. This is not a harem novel!- MC is NOT naive, and will NOT be afraid to make morally gray choices! Readers advised!

After getting beat within an inch of his life, Yu Tian can only blame himself for committing the ultimate sin of being weak. Lying on the cold ground, he wonders if he should just give up—after all, he was just a servant in a small time sect, even if he managed to drag himself back to the sect, the sect wouldn't waste medicine on a talentless loser like him.But just as he was about to give up, strange numbers started floating in his vision.“This is...” Yu Tian discovers he can suddenly calculate probabilities!“So what if I don't have a Divine grade spiritual root and a Saint Body? So what if my enlightenment is only basic? I’ll calculate my way to immortality!”
