Chapter 1457: 1457
“Excuse me . I’m not here for that . ”
Jiang Chen had to interrupt this aloof Leader the Venerable .
The crowd could not help but roll their eyes when they had heard him . He sounded as if he had been mistreated .
No matter what Zhang Tian was thinking, Red Cloud Venerable came to herself . She said, “You are not in a place where you can say no . ”
Her response created a great disturbance . People were piqued with a strong interest in the relationship between the Leader the Venerable and Jiang Chen .
“You are not taking this seriously at all . How can Ling Long Celestial Palace compete with the three great forces this way?”
Zhang Tian could not put up with the huge difference . She had completely lost the spirit she had shown when she had just appeared .
“Are you questioning me?”
It seemed Red Cloud Venerable did not know how to argue at all . She had been behaving like this when dealing with Xue Ke . At the moment, she was doing the same thing again to Zhang Tian .
As she spoke, a shapeless pressure swept over to Zhang Tian . The air was charged with tension .
Zhang Tian took a deep breath . There was panic deep in his eyes .
He had deeply believed no matter how strong a woman was, she would need a man to count on .
Even though Red Cloud Venerable was a Venerable Sovereign, he was a Martial Arts Saint .
However, there was only one Venerable Sovereign at the moment in the Black Yellow Great World .
Zhang Tian was actually beyond comparison among Martial Arts Saints .
And he was confident to capture this woman’s heart .
But at this moment, his confidence was completely shaken . He came to understand how ridiculous he was .
“I wouldn’t have the nerve . ”
Zhang Tian exhaled, trying to dealing with the stress . He said, “As I said, I’ll quit Ling Long Celestial Palace . ”
He was so proud that he would not like to stay here after knowing it was impossible for him to get Red Cloud Venerable .
“Okay . ”
Red Cloud Venerable was still very calm .
Although he had mentally prepared for this, Zhang Tian still felt a bit sad . How he hoped Red Cloud Venerable could ask him to stay .
Then, a hideous gaze that could be compared to a fierce beast’s passed Red Cloud Venerable and fell on Jiang Chen .

It was predictable that next time when the two met again, what kind of things would happen if no one else tried to intervene .
Jiang Chen touched his own chin, thinking he had been really wronged this time .
Due to the fear of Red Cloud Venerable, Zhang Tian did not have the nerve to trash talk . He untied the token at his waist and flew away .
Red Cloud Venerable beckoned, and then the token flew towards Jiang Chen .
It drew everyone’s attention over .
Jiang Chen showed a bitter smile . He did not extend his hand to take the token . Instead, he looked towards the pretty woman .
“You pushed my vice leader to leave, so you must compensate for it . ” Standing with her back facing him, Red Cloud Venerable sounded as if she would not allow him to reject, as if she had guessed what he was thinking .
Jiang Chen could not see her face, but when he had heard this, he pictured Xiao Nuo’s cute look in the old days in his head .
“All right . ”
Jiang Chen took the token that represented the identity of vice leader .
It shocked everyone present there . Those who had witnessed this were struck dumb .
In this way, the vice leader’s position was given to a Martial Emperor in the late stage .
“In this way, the Heavenly Palace of the Seventh Realm will be bound to the same chariot with us Ling Long Celestial Palace . ”
“And we’ll be able to have two worlds, one above and the other below, like the three great forces . ”
“Leader the Venerable, you are so wise . ”
The three elders thought it a great idea .
With Red Cloud Venerable being the leader, Ling Long Celestial Palace did not lack any Martial Arts Saints . What they needed to do was to open up a new world .
“Vice leader, come with me . I’ve got things to discuss with you . ”
Red Cloud Venerable vanished as soon as she finished speaking, like a fallen leaf that sank into the water without creating any ripples on the surface .
Jiang Chen saw a passage formed by a distorted light appear in front of him . He took a step forward . Then time passed rapidly, and the world had a great change .
Then he appeared in a dark palace .
Judging from the decoration, he seemed to be in the room of Red Cloud Venerable .

A smile pulled the corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth up . It was because there was a mild scent in the room, which was Xiao Nuo’s favorite .
At the moment, the leader of the Celestial Palace was standing in the room, separated with Jiang Chen by a transparent curtain, which added an extra dim beauty to her graceful body .
Jiang Chen heard her speak when he was about to walk ahead . She said, “Red Cloud Venerable arose at the beginning of ancient times . She was one of the few strong women at that time . She died when breaking through to Divine King . You know why?”
Her question caught Jiang Chen unprepared . He had to look in his memory to find the answer .
“Because she failed to go through a ko . She died of the ko of love . ”
Red Cloud Venerable said without waiting for Jiang Chen’s answer .
Jiang Chen had a complicated look on his face . He seemed to have got what she was trying to say .
“I got her inheritance, her memory, and her emotions . I know she used to live here . ”
Jiang Chen was glad to hear that because it meant Xiao Nuo had been able to distinguish herself from the Sovereign Spirit .
“There was a man she loved so much, but in the end, to become a strong person, she broke up with that man and moved on . ”
“However, when she was going through the ko, she failed to bring her emotions under control . They finally killed her . ”
“The strong woman of her generation died this way . ”
Jiang Chen was shocked by her narration .
Five hundred Sovereign Spirits meant five hundred Venerable Sovereigns died .
As a result, the reincarnations of the Sovereign Spirits would be affected by the same thing that had caused the Venerable Sovereigns’ deaths .
These reincarnations would live in the shadow of those death causes .
If they could manage to get rid of the influences, they would be able to break through to Divine Kings .
If they could not, Venerable Sovereign would be the farthest they could get, and they would spend their entire lives in fear .
In his plan, Jiang Chen had never been so naïve to believe those five hundred people would all become Divine Kings .
He knew only less than one-tenth would finally achieve it .
“So, in your opinion, should I or should not never fall in love again and move on?” asked Xiao Nuo .
This was a tricky question . It was almost like a hot potato .
“Red Cloud Venerable chose to move on, but the result proved she was wrong,” Jiang Chen said . He did not sound very confident .
“Maybe she didn’t get over the man completely . Maybe she wasn’t resolute enough so that she couldn’t be totally emotionless,” Xiao Nuo said with emphasis .
Jiang Chen was speechless . He did not know how to answer .
“If you really think I’m the Xiao Nuo you know, you should know what I will do . ”
But Xiao Nuo did not give him any chance to stay silent . She went on speaking .
Jiang Chen surely knew Xiao Nuo was a competitive person . Maybe she could forget about the thing about moving on and stay with him for some time, but over time, problems would arise .
The palace went into silence . There were only the sounds of them breathing, with different energies and frequencies .
Xiao Nuo let out a long sigh . She said unhappily, “You shouldn’t have given the Sovereign Soul to me . ”
However, her blame inspired Jiang Chen .
He stopped worrying and hesitating . Lifting the curtain, he strode over .
“You… What are you up to?”
If there were other people here and they saw the legendary Red Cloud Venerable panicking like this, they would be greatly surprised .
Jiang Chen did not speak . He walked ahead determinedly . Then, putting his arm around Red Cloud Venerable’s waist, he kissed her soft red lips .
Xiao Nuo raised her hands, trying to push this person away with effort .
But when she was about to do that, she hesitated .
It was exactly this hesitation that made her completely fall to him . Her pretty face flushed .
After a good while, the two finally separated, gasping for air .
“Moving on? Over me? What the hell!? We had a wedding . We kowtowed to heaven and the ground . We kowtowed to our parents . You are my wife!” Jiang Chen said loudly .
Xiao Nuo’s face flushed more . She rolled her eyes, showing the white of her eyes . She said as if she was accusing Jiang Chen, “You are my destiny . ”

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
