Perfect. I'll now:
1. Translate and review Chapter 4 in full, silently.
2. Fix any spacing, formatting, or terminology errors (especially where spacing breaks were previously inconsistent).
3. Then, present the clean, reviewed, properly spaced final version of the chapter directly in this message.
"I wonder what good stuff this shop might have?"
Hun Miesheng rubbed his hands together while staring at the Main God Boundary Stele, then placed his palm on the black stone.
The moment his hand made contact with the stele, a formless halo spread outward in all directions, centered on the monument.
The halo covered a range of exactly ten li — not more, not less.
Everything within the halo was instantly visualized in front of him.
There were twenty-two people within the radius, excluding himself.
This included twenty Dou Zong-level Soul Hall guards, the hidden Half-Saint Gui Lao, and the imprisoned Gu Xun'er.
Everyone's cultivation level, loyalty, and even emotional state appeared as data in Hun Miesheng's mind.
The Soul Hall guards averaged about 70 loyalty. Gui Lao remained at 100. Gu Xun'er had the lowest, sitting at 30 — and still dropping.
And yet, not a single one of them — not even Gui Lao — realized they were being observed.
Hun Miesheng could feel that with just a thought, he could erase them all from this world.
"So this… is what it means to be a god?"
He exhaled slowly and settled his heart.
[Ding! Your Villain Value has reached the threshold to unlock the All-Heavens Grand Shop. Would you like to spend 1000 Villain Points to unlock it?]
"Unlock immediately."
A brilliant white light flashed.
[Ding! The All-Heavens Grand Shop has been successfully activated!]
A virtual interface appeared in front of Hun Miesheng.
The shop was divided into six sections: Symbols, Arrays, Pills, Weapons, Cultivation Points, and Skills.
[Yin-Yang Life and Death Symbol]
Grade: Divine
Type: Immortal Symbol
Effect: Reverses Yin and Yang, shifts Heaven and Earth, revives the dead across the Three Realms and Six Paths!
"An immortal talisman that can revive the dead? I love it! Buy!"

— Price: 60 million Villain Points!
Hun Miesheng stood stunned.
He suddenly realized how pitiful his 5200 points were.
"I'm broke."
"I'm so f*cking broke. These Villain Points are an embarrassment to villains everywhere."
He sighed bitterly and started looking at the lower-end items.
Imperial-Grade Basic Pill: 3 million Villain Points.
Grade Nine Thunder Spirit: 500,000 Villain Points.
Heaven-Tier Cultivation Technique: 100,000 Villain Points.
Heaven-Tier Dou Technique: 30,000 Villain Points.
...
"Scam! This is worse than that greedy goose!" Hun Miesheng stomped his foot and cursed.
"Even a random Heaven-Tier Dou Technique costs 30,000?!"
"Has the Hall Master relapsed?"
Gui Lao looked concerned. Hun Miesheng was mumbling nonsense while pressing his hand on a strange black stele.
"Looks like I'll have to call Elder Mu Gu back for a check-up."
Hun Miesheng was practically fuming.
His pitiful Villain Points couldn't buy anything worthwhile.
At the bottom of the list, something caught his eye — and made him laugh.
He could actually spend Villain Points to buy Earth items — like a car.
'Someday, when I become a Dou Di, I'll use a few hundred Villain Points to buy a Lamborghini Veneno and show off.'
Halt, Dou Di ahead. Dare to race?
He couldn't help but laugh.
Hun Miesheng kicked the stele.
"Scammer!"
–1000!
[Ding! You've spent 1000 Villain Points on a random discount draw. We wish you a pleasant transaction!]
Hun Miesheng: …
[Ding! Congratulations! You've gained the right to a discounted purchase of: Elemental Heavy Water (Grade Nine, Evolvable). Special Price: 10,000 Villain Points!]
"Did I just get lucky?"
Hun Miesheng truly laughed.
In his past life, he never got an SSR in any gacha draw. Today, he actually got to play the role of a lucky dog.
Elemental Heavy Water — one of the ten innate divine waters!
Even at Grade Nine, it far surpassed any standard Heavenly Flame.
[Elemental Heavy Water]
A source of primordial divine water. Ranges from Grade One to Nine. Beyond Grade Nine are Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, and Saint Grade.
One drop weighs over ten thousand tons. It can form rivers and seas.
A Saint-Grade drop can drown an entire world with its water force.
Original Price: 3 million Villain Points.
Hun Miesheng stared at the dark droplet floating within the stele.
Even with the distance, he could feel its oppressive aura.
Inside him, the Void Devouring Flame stirred violently.
He could even sense fear — coming from the flame itself.
Heat surged through his entire body.
"This is… the Chaos Heaven Devouring Art operating on its own?"
No surprise.
The Chaos Heaven Devouring Art was a chaos-origin cultivation method. Innate divine substances were supreme supplements to it.
Hun Miesheng was tempted.
If he refined this divine water, his power would skyrocket.
But the problem was — he was still broke.
He only had 4200 points left after unlocking the shop and drawing once.
The treasure was right there, and he couldn't afford it.
Hun Miesheng sighed and left the interface. He'd have to wait until he saved enough points.
After thinking for a while, he pulled a ring from his robe.
The ring was black and looked ancient.
"Come out, old man." Hun Miesheng flicked the ring into the air.
It hovered silently in place.
"Not coming out?" He flicked his finger again, sending a strand of Void Devouring Flame at the ring.
Whoosh—
A black mist darted out, trailing a shadow as it tried to escape the hall!
"Trying to run?" Hun Miesheng's voice turned cold.
Clang!
A black chain appeared from his hand, piercing the void and shooting through the escaping figure with a snap.
"Aaaaah—!" A scream of agony echoed in the grand hall.
Hun Miesheng retracted the chain and pinned the nearly transparent soul to a golden pillar.
The soul looked like an old man — pale and trembling.
"Yao Chen… tsk tsk. The once-proclaimed Medicine Venerable — now reduced to hiding in a bone ring to survive."
"Pathetic."
Hun Miesheng folded his arms behind his back and sighed.
[Ding! Achievement Completed: Villain's Mockery. Villain Points +300.]
"That's the Medicine Venerable?" Gui Lao appeared, shocked by the soul bound to the pillar.
"This is… the Soul Hall?"
"If this isn't the Soul Hall, is it your house?"
"Hmph! Brat, I was renowned across the continent when you were still in diapers!" Yao Chen barked.
Hun Miesheng didn't get angry. In terms of age, the old guy did have seniority.
He smirked.
"Oh, right. I forgot something."
"You don't have a home anymore. You're a Medicine Clan outcast. Must sting, huh?"
Yao Chen's breath caught.
White flames erupted from his body.
The words hit like needles — critical hit.
The flames seared the chain, hissing and crackling. Large swaths of ghostly aura were burned away.
The air temperature suddenly plummeted.
[Ding! Achievement Completed: Villain's Mockery (Advanced). Villain Points +800.]
"The Bone Spirit Cold Flame — ranked eleventh," Gui Lao murmured. This wasn't a sub-flame. It was a source flame.
"A soul dares act tough in front of me?"
"Heh."
Hun Miesheng sneered.
"Get back inside!"
Terrifying soul power surged forth.
The entire hall trembled.
The Bone Spirit Cold Flame recoiled instantly, returning to Yao Chen's soul.
"Peak Heavenly Realm soul power!" Yao Chen's face went pale.
