Chapter 553 The Demon Twins, Rampaging Across the Universe!

【You hid in a shadowy corner and secretly made sweeping changes to the Peace Bureau’s command files without anyone noticing.】

【Orders that originally called for the arrest of Torch Society members, you changed to call for the arrest of alien factions friendly with the Holy Dragon Society.】

【Orders that originally called for the suppression of Human Race uprisings, you changed to call for the delivery of supplies to support the local populace.】

【Orders that originally called for the elimination of Human Race powerhouses, you changed to call for the elimination of powerhouses from an alien race.】

【Fortunately, after going through the sixth simulation, you knew a little about some of the major factions and important figures in the Celestial River local galaxy. Otherwise, you really wouldn’t have known how to make it all up.】

【“Hahaha... This is fun! So much fun! I wonder if they’ll really carry out the orders I wrote? Ah! The Celestial River Monthly Report is around, so any major Peace Bureau operation is sure to make the papers!”】

【This was no place to linger. After altering a huge pile of orders and files, you slipped away. With pursuers hot on your heels, you charged into outer space and crossed over again with the Black Monkey King.】

【After that, you and the Black Monkey King continued to wreak havoc across the universe.】

【Immortal Ring Star, home of the Immortal Ring Bureau, the organization that manages the distribution of Immortal Qi throughout the Celestial River local galaxy.】

【They were the ones who distributed Immortal Qi, determining which planets would be Second-tier Stars, First-tier Stars, or Special-tier Stars.】

【You and the Black Monkey King stormed in and smashed the place to pieces.】

【Before leaving, you thoroughly scrambled their Celestial River Grand Star Chart, the device they used to distribute Immortal Qi.】

【A whole bunch of third-class stars received the Immortal Qi meant for First-tier Stars, while the Immortal Qi on a whole bunch of First-tier Stars was wiped out on the spot, turning them into third-class stars.】

【“He messed up the Celestial River Grand Star Chart! Damn it! Every fraction of Immortal Qi is allocated precisely. How long will it take us to sort this mess out?!”】

【Sunrise Star, home of the Celestial River Monthly Report Bureau.】

【There were very few experts here, so you and the Black Monkey King simply took over the place.】

【Using martial strength to coerce them, the two of you demanded that the Celestial River Monthly Report spend an entire month reporting only on your “glorious deeds.”】

【You also insisted they use the most florid language possible to praise the two of you.】

【The Holy Dragon Clan writer at the Celestial River Monthly Report Bureau had quite a bit of backbone.】

【“You two demon kings! You’ve wreaked havoc all over the galaxy, robbed people everywhere, and slaughtered countless innocents! I will never sing your praises!”】

【You sneered.】

【“You won’t write it? I’ll wipe out your entire clan!”】

【“You could wipe out ten clans and I still wouldn’t write it!”】

【“Fine! I’ll grant your wish!”】

【You dug out the man’s employee records, found his entire extended family, along with his friends and colleagues, then hunted them down using the list and killed them right in front of him.】

【“No!! Devil! You’re a devil!!”】

【The Black Monkey King applauded from the side.】

【“That’s so wicked! So wicked! You really are a bad guy, brother! Hahaha!”】

【The Celestial River Monthly Report Bureau had no choice. For an entire month, its daily reports praised the two of you, a pair of wanted criminals, and broadcast the stories across the galaxy.】

【Just writing words of praise wasn’t enough to fill the space.】

【So the two of you honestly recounted all your glorious deeds from the past.】

【Black Monkey King: “I know who the Dragon-Scale Horse Queen’s illegitimate child belongs to. I was there at the time.”】

【You: “I was the one who took the mysterious toilet paper that disappeared from my college roommate’s room! Hahaha!”】

【Black Monkey King: “The Thunder Beast Saint Master’s daughter isn’t his biological child, either. How do I know? Because I was there at the time.”】

【You: “I was the one who confessed to a different girl every night at midnight beneath the women’s dormitory, then ran off the moment the dorm supervisor came out! Hahaha!”】

【Black Monkey King: “Our Star Ape King has three hundred princes. One hundred and sixty-seven of them aren’t his biological sons. And yes, I was there at the time, too.”】

【You: “After starting work, I installed a virus on my boss’s computer, then helped him get rid of it. No work to do, and the whole day was gone! That was me, too! Hahaha!!”】

【A month later, the two of you made a run for it.】

【If you didn’t leave, the pursuers would catch up.】

【You and the Black Monkey King spent a year rampaging across the Celestial River local galaxy.】

【People called you the Demon Twins, the Man-and-Ape Bandits, the Devil Monkey and the Man, and the Two Ferocious Fiends...】

【“Brother! It’s open again! I can feel it, this time it’s an even more fun planet! Let’s go!!”】

【After a year of frequent spatial crossings, the Black Monkey King had plucked himself bald.】

【This time, because he hadn’t used enough monkey fur, the spatial tunnel looked rather unstable.】

【As usual, you followed behind the Black Monkey King.】

【Unexpectedly, before you could even take a step inside, the Black Monkey King’s tunnel closed.】

【“Huh? Hey, buddy! Are you messing with me?! Hey! Come back! I haven’t gotten on yet!!”】

【The universe was cold and boundless, vast and desolate. You could hear nothing but the sound of your own heartbeat.】

【All around you stretched darkness, with only a few scattered stars visible far away.】

【And you had no idea how far away that sea of stars was.】

“What’s going on... I’ve really screwed up...”

In reality, Chen Yi stood there, utterly baffled.

It didn’t look like the Black Monkey King had done it on purpose.

He was just so unreliable that the tunnel closed before the version of himself in the simulation could catch up.

Well, this was just great.

He couldn’t travel through space on his own.

He didn’t even know which part of the starry sky he was in.

He had a Star Ship, but without a Channel, he couldn’t travel any great distance quickly.

“Is this what they call... getting lost in space?”

【You were at a loss.】

【But you soon came to terms with it.】

【You rested your head on your arms, crossed your legs, and began drifting through space.】

【“Whatever, it’s not my problem. I’m about to draw a trait tag anyway. That guy’s definitely going to replace me...”】

【Your eyes shifted, and you spoke to the empty air again.】

【“Actually, you could consider not replacing me. Without the boost from ‘Venom,’ your physical body can’t withstand the conditions of outer space, and this simulation will end. If you keep me around, there might still be a chance to find a Channel.”】

Chen Yi knew that “Venom” was speaking to him.

But Chen Yi had already made up his mind.

“Still not replacing you?! Look at the mess you’ve made this past year!

All you do is cause trouble! Now you’re lost, too! You’ve completely wrecked all my plans!

You don’t cultivate or seek enlightenment, not even for a day. You don’t bother making connections, gathering intelligence, or exploring new maps. All you ever think about is conquering this and conquering that!

You have no plan at all. You only know how to fight and kill. Who do you think you can conquer like that?!”

Sotuofeiren and the Five Brothers of Xunlan, who were guarding the entrance, heard Chen Yi shouting.

Sotuofeiren: “Who’s the master arguing with?”

Xunlan Big Brother: “What master? What young master? He’s not even standing in front of you. Who are you putting on a show for...”

Sotuofeiren: “What kind of thing is that to say? Whether the master is standing in front of me or not, my loyalty to him is as constant as the moon hanging high in the sky!”

The Five Brothers of Xunlan: “...”

【Year ninety-two, age one hundred and eighteen.】

【Drawing trait tag...】

【Draw successful!】

【「The Wallfacer」(Purple Epic): No one can see through your thoughts. No one.】

【Adjust trait tag?】

【Yes/No】
