The Exalted Prince Lives Again - Chapter 5: Lucien du Valtes

Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.

Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.

Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

=========================================

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?

In a modern world where cultivators need a place to cultivate or vent their boredom, there are private businesses that set up instance dungeons with the aid of technology and cultivation magic to enable cultivators to train and commoners to experience the life of cultivation. They are called dungeon suppliers.
Xie Jin's one and only dream was to be a dungeon supplier and when his only relative passed away, the relative's inheritance gave him a plot of land and surprisingly, a 'System' Module which the relative had previously used.
With the help of the system, Xie Jin decided to pursue his dream of becoming the number one dungeon supplier.

Ye Zichen was just a normal university student. Or so he thought.

Song Dingding has become a vicious female supporting actress with deep scheming in an abusive essay.
The main reason was because of jealousy of the fascinated little junior sister. After taking credit for the junior sister, he framed the junior sister and the demon domain fornicating, so that the junior sister was severely punished and expelled from the Tianzongmen by the male master.
The little sister was tortured and died
With the help of the second male and the third male, he returned to Tianzongmen, publicly exposed the original owner’s conspiracy, and personally smashed the original owner to ashes
When Song Dingding passed by, the younger sister had already been expelled from the teacher’s door and her face was disfigured. She showed people with a veil all day.
System: The male lead is immortal, the second male is gentle and affectionate, the third male is paranoid and gloomy, the host’s task is to guide…
Song Dingding: Strategies for the second and third male protagonists?
System: No, it’s the Raiders Junior Sister.
Song Dingding:  …
This is fucking outrageous
In order to survive, Song Dingding disguised as a man, while frantically boosting his favorability in front of the younger sister, while preventing the younger sister from falling in love with the second and third male protagonists.
The male protagonist gave the little sister a sacrificial elixir
Song Dingding grabbed the little junior sister’s hand and was heartbroken: “He can’t accept your current appearance, he doesn’t really love you.”
The second man gave the little sister a papaya and crucian carp soup to nourish her body
Song Dingding grabbed the little junior sister’s hand and gritted his teeth: “He must have disliked you for having a flat chest. He doesn’t really love you.”
The third male gave the little sister a token of love for the mandarin duck purse
Song Dingding grabbed the younger sister’s hand and sighed: “These two mandarin ducks are males. He clearly treats you as a brother, but he doesn’t really love you.”
The little junior sister cooperated very well: “I understand, A Ding is the one who really loves me.”
Everything went smoothly until Song Dingding completed the task and changed into women’s clothes and was about to escape, when he was caught by the little junior sister.
Song Dingding hugged the younger sister’s thigh, crying and repenting: “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I lied to you, I’m not a man…”
The little sister raised her jaw with a sword, and in a low and lazy voice, said with a casual smile: “It’s okay, I am.”
