I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 189

Chapter 189: How can you not be an adult? Let the leeks go to harvest the leeks.

Damn Gu Changge……

One day, you’ll be under my thumb in that pit and won’t claw your way out for the rest of your sorry life!

Whoosh!

A streak of light zipped past from the base of the Supreme Peak. It was Gu Xian’er, traversing through the area, and she gave a cold grunt towards the palace atop the mountain peak. Only then did she pivot and make her way to her usual cultivation spot.

This spectacle left some of Gu Xian’er’s followers trailing behind her, feeling somewhat resigned. Gu Xian’er always visited the Supreme Peak and unleashed her verbal onslaught against Gu Changge whenever she returned from her ventures outside.

Initially, Gu Changge would appear with a furrowed brow, promptly sending Gu Xian’er tumbling to the ground, ensuring she grasped the repercussions of her words. But Gu Xian’er grew accustomed to enduring Gu Changge’s occasional physical reprimands.

Oddly enough, she sensed her cultivation inching towards a breakthrough after each thrashing. Despite Gu Changge’s formidable strength, he quickly subdued her.

When facing off against Gu Changge, Gu Xian’er discovered that this resistance was more fruitful than solitary cultivation. This revelation caught her off guard.

Thus, she began utilizing Gu Changge as a metaphorical punching bag even though she endured the blows every time. Gu Changge was merciless, his slaps landing with excruciating force.

However, Gu Changge seemed to grow weary of Gu Xian’er’s provocations, eventually dismissing them altogether. No matter how she taunted him, he remained indifferent, refusing to engage.

This left Gu Xian’er feeling increasingly uneasy and resentful. Gu Changge’s demeanor towards her grew icier by the day.

The more distant he became, the more determined Gu Xian’er was to provoke him.

However, in recent days, her status has undergone a sudden shift. So much so that many young powerhouses sought her out, eager to align themselves with her. Gu Xian’er, accustomed to solitary cultivation, found herself suddenly surrounded by followers. This newfound attention was daunting and challenging to adapt to.

Some of these followers sought Gu Xian’er out because of her association with Gu Changge, hoping to leverage her connection with him. Others attempted to ingratiate themselves, feigning friendliness while subtly probing for information about Gu Changge. These pretenses left Gu Xian’er feeling immensely annoyed and offended. How dare these girls presume to inquire about Gu Changge’s affairs by their presence merely? Though she refrained from vocalizing her disdain, her contempt was palpable.

Gu Xian’er was well aware that these changes stemmed from the events at the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, where Gu Changge had publicly acknowledged her as a member of the Gu family. Before this revelation, she had been a relatively obscure figure, overshadowed by the brilliance of Gu Changge. Yet now, despite her comparable talent and perseverance—especially considering she had persevered despite losing her Dao’s bone—her achievements were often overlooked in favor of Gu Changge’s radiance.

If Gu Xian’er understood the concept of “hype,” she would have undoubtedly cursed Gu Changge for it. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye as time passed.

It’s time to conclude concerning the Sea King Palace and the Immortal Ancient Continent.

Gu Changge murmured, noticing something as he penned a letter within the palace. A peculiar smile graced his lips.

This timing is quite fortuitous.

Silver light shimmered in his eyes, projecting various scenes from within the Immortal Ancient Continent onto his retinas. The expansive territory of the Black Heavenly Eagle clan bustled with activity, seemingly untouched by Gu Changge’s presence as if his visit that day had been nothing more than a fleeting dream.

Initially, the Black Heavenly Eagle clan anticipated that Gu Changge would mobilize them to battle with other Immortal Ancient clans, vying for resources and territory to bolster their strength. However, Gu Changge remained silent, keeping them concealed behind the scenes.

This perplexed the entire Black Heavenly Eagle group but also eased their concerns. With slave seals once embedded within their bodies, serving another was not an unfamiliar concept. Yet, Gu Changge’s hands-off approach surprised them, gradually diminishing their apprehension regarding his control over them.

“Your thoughts are commendable, but keeping you around without utilizing you serves no purpose,” Gu Changge remarked, sensing their sentiments with a snort.

However, it was still time to deploy them. As his servant clan, the Black Heavenly Eagle clan remained concealed within the Immortal Ancient Continent, undetected by outsiders. Despite being one of the continent’s renowned powerful clans, their true strength remained mysterious.

The eradicated Feathered clan paled in comparison to their might. Controlling this clan would have proven immensely challenging for Gu Changge without the Immortal Binding technique. Meanwhile, the formidable web he had woven expanded rapidly, ensnaring beings of all kinds within its grasp in just half a month.

The secrecy surrounding the Immortal Binding technique allowed Gu Changge’s influence to spread unchecked. Simultaneously, the Black Heavenly Eagle clan’s strength burgeoned visibly, eclipsing that of other clans.

The Ancient Snake, Divine Crocodile, and other clans were observed with envy. In their eyes, the Black Heavenly Eagle clan had undoubtedly gained substantial benefits. Unaware that Gu Changge’s method of control was the revered Immortal Binding technique, they assumed it was merely the effect of the slave seal.

Both the Ancient Snake Clan and the Divine Crocodile Clan had fallen under the slave seal of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, making it seemingly impossible for them to elude Gu Changge’s influence. Consequently, the Black Heavenly Eagle clan viewed these clans similarly, regarding them all as potential prey. Therefore, they harbored little animosity toward these two groups.

In this process, Hei Ming, acting as a pawn, discreetly disseminated the technique to his allies, intending to propagate it further. This clandestine distribution caused Gu Changge’s binding technique to spread rapidly. Unexpectedly, this seemingly innocuous move proved immensely lucrative for Gu Changge.

Subsequently, Gu Changge set his sights on the Immortal Ancient Continent, intending to finalize his plans. With the Ancient Snake and Divine Crocodile clans coveting the Black Heavenly Eagle clan’s binding technique, Gu Changge was poised to satisfy their desires.

Executing this plan was relatively straightforward for Gu Changge. He merely needed to orchestrate some fortuitous circumstances and patiently wait. Having spent half a month at the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, the timing was ripe for action.

As for the method? It was deceptively simple. For instance, a Black Heavenly Eagle clan member might find themselves “accidentally intoxicated” while conversing casually with a friend.

Thus, the truth was revealed, unraveling their clan’s most closely guarded secret—the mysterious merits of the suspected immortal scriptures! By sheer coincidence, experts from the Ancient Snake and Divine Crocodile clans passing by outside happened to overhear these clandestine words. The convergence of these coincidences made discovering the Black Heavenly Eagle clan’s hidden secrets inevitable.

The coveted Immortal Scripture, whispered by a Black Heavenly Eagle clan member, became the target of relentless pursuit for the Ancient Snake and Divine Crocodile clans. Driven by desperation, they took the risk and captured the Black Heavenly Eagle clan member, subjecting them to various forms of torture in the dark.

Under duress, the Black Heavenly Eagle clan member finally divulged the secrets of the immortal scriptures. Aware of the rarity of such scriptures, the Black Heavenly Eagle clan would undoubtedly enforce strict prohibitions to safeguard their knowledge.

However, this stroke of luck rendered these bans vulnerable, alleviating the concerns of the Ancient Snake and Divine Crocodile clans. This stroke of fortune seemed to signify their destined connection to the immortal scripture.

With the immortal scripture within reach, relinquishing their pursuit was out of the question. Gu Changge’s meticulous calculations ensured that the dowry coat was seamlessly transmitted to these two significant clans, effortlessly securing control over their fates.

Despite not leaving the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, Gu Changge orchestrated events from afar, wielding control over the situation with ease. This manipulation was merely to trap a Black Heavenly Eagle clan member. The Immortal Binding technique acted as a potent poison, promising accelerated cultivation speed and eventual puppetry to any who dared to touch it. Relinquishing such power was inconceivable.

As for the pawns in this elaborate scheme, the time had come for Gu Changge to deploy them.

The Grand Elder’s visit to the Immortal Ancient Dragon Clan will likely stir up unrest, as the Dragon Clan is unlikely to submit easily.

They might even rally other clans to suppress the various Dao heritages that have descended upon the Immortal Ancient Continent. However, their counterattack may find themselves isolated.

Gu Changge’s figure swiftly vanished into the void. He had meticulously planned for the Immortal Ancient clans, with the Great Elder’s appearance as the initial step and guiding light in his scheme.

The Immortal Ancient Continent remained far from tranquil, with numerous ancient entities flocking to the Immortal Road to pursue immortality, igniting an explosive battle reverberating across the land. Amidst this turmoil, the immortal ancient clans found themselves oppressed and leaderless in the absence of the Dragon Clans.

It was the perfect opportunity for Gu Changge to capitalize on the chaos.

In the golden hall of the Black Heavenly Eagle clan, Hei Ming immersed himself in cultivation, his dark wings looming large, a testament to his current strength and status. Yet, an unexpected sensation stirred within him—the long-forgotten aura of a supreme existence. His heart raced with anticipation. Could it be that the Supreme Being was about to descend once more?

“It truly is a Supreme Immortal Scripture! The bottleneck I’ve struggled with for so long is finally loosening…” Hei Ming exclaimed with excitement.

In the Ancient Snake Clan territory, an elderly figure couldn’t contain his joy, a wide grin stretching across his face as he sensed the benefits of the immortal scripture.

Similar scenes unfolded within the Divine Crocodile Clan. By chance, they coerced a Black Heavenly Eagle clan member into divulging the secrets of the immortal scripture, prompting their exploration of its powers. No wonder the Black Heavenly Eagle clan had recently experienced a sudden surge in strength—now, with the immortal scripture in their possession, could they possibly be surpassed?

In the depths of the Immortal Continent, divine light surged, and immortal radiance pierced the sky. On a dragon island, numerous members of the Dragon Clans knelt on the ground, their fervor palpable as they wildly shouted and saluted the terrifying shadow looming high above. As prayers filled the air, an ancient, magnificent statue emanated a dazzling light. A Dao rune, radiant and resplendent, hovered in the void.

An indistinct yet majestic figure materialized, standing amidst the chaos, its presence altering the fabric of reality, manipulating time, and causing space to crumble. This figure, an indomitable force, exuded an aura of universal dominance, its eyes gleaming with golden light.

“Old friend, are you reneging on our agreement from before?”

Shrouded in thick gray mist, the godly figure emitted an overwhelmingly potent aura.

Near Dragon Island, influential individuals from various clans and Dao heritages assembled, each with motives—some calculating, some contemplating, and others plotting to exploit the situation.

“Today’s events appear inevitable,” remarked the Great Elder, his demeanor calm yet exuding a palpable aura of authority that seemed to encompass the entire universe.

“Many years have passed since you pledged to shelter my clan, yet it seems your promise holds no weight,” retorted the blurred figure, seething with anger and coldness in his eyes.

This figure, once merely one of the offspring of the true dragon and now the true spirit of the dragon’s progeny, hesitated to confront the Great Elder directly, fully aware of the latter’s formidable power.

“Is there no room for negotiation?” the blurred figure demanded, still reluctant to engage in direct conflict with the Great Elder, acknowledging his immense prowess.

“No, the old man made a promise to a descendant, and the Immortal Ancient Dragon Clan will have to submit to him,” declared the Great Elder indifferently. Having witnessed Gu Changge’s actions, he knew honoring the promise was inevitable.

The Great Elder’s words shocked the gathered cultivators and creatures, leaving them skeptical. Initially perplexed by the Great Elder’s sudden appearance and his intention to coerce the Immortal Ancient clans, they now grasped the situation. The descendant mentioned by the Great Elder referred to Gu Changge himself.

Gu Changge had managed to compel the Great Elder, who had always defended the various clans of the Immortal Ancient Continent, to this point—a revelation that shocked and appalled them. The once venerable and established Immortal Ancient Dragon Clan is now in an unprecedented predicament. Who would dare believe such a turn without the Great Elder’s confirmation?

The mere thought of Gu Changge’s actions sent shivers down the spines of many. His prowess seemed beyond that of a typical youth.

“Is that the young man who slew the genius of my clan?” the blurry existence sneered coldly, clearly aware of Gu Changge’s deeds.

“It matters not,” the Great Elder replied nonchalantly, unleashing a palm strike towards the front. Initially the size of a millstone, the palm rapidly expanded, radiating billions of divine lights akin to a galaxy descending from above, crushing everything in its path.

“Let the battle commence!” exclaimed the blurry existence, emanating a terrifying aura as a heavenly divine sky rose, casting a red haze that pierced the heavens. With one step, he unleashed thousands of dao runes, asserting dominance over all directions as he launched his most potent attack without hesitation.

All beings and cultivators recoiled in fear, their faces twisted with terror as the palm strike tore through the battlefield. Many were reduced to mere ashes, their spirits and bodies annihilated in an instant. Once more, amidst this awe-inspiring battle, the Immortal Ancient Continent plunged into chaos, regardless of the outcome.

Meanwhile, on his journey to the immortal continent, Gu Changge pondered his next move. Ye Ling, the fortunate son, had been dealt with, but as per the usual cycle, a new son of fortune was bound to emerge for him to harvest. The continuous influx of lucky individuals bolsters Gu Changge’s strength—a phenomenon likened to a stream of fortune flowing his way.

However, the system had yet to prompt him, indicating that he hadn’t come into contact with the following lucky individual. It was now up to Gu Changge to take the initiative to seek them out. Yet, in the vast expanse of the upper world, how many individuals with significant luck existed? How many among them could be considered sons of fortune?

The number of potential candidates was staggering, with countless individuals across billions of lower realms possessing considerable luck. Gu Changge realized that relying solely on himself to locate and harvest these individuals would be lengthy and arduous.

Perhaps I can utilize the formidable Destiny points to establish a mystical kingdom akin to the main god temple I knew in my previous life.

Gu Changge mused. Relying on himself to harvest the endless leeks of fortune seemed impractical. His power was finite, and the potential candidates were infinite.

He found inspiration in Hei Ming of the Black Heavenly Eagle clan. If Hei Ming could impersonate a supreme existence, why couldn’t Gu Changge expand his reach and disguise himself as an omnipotent Lord God?

After all, supreme existences and main gods seemed to operate without interference. This approach could streamline the process and extend his influence beyond his current capabilities.

“Reincarnationist sounds too antiquated; in the future, my subjects shall be referred to as the Destined Ones, a term more befitting their lofty status,” Gu Changge declared.

“The heavenly order is veiled, carrying out my bidding, siphoning the luck of various lower realms,” he added, agreeing.

With a supreme world seed in his possession, Gu Changge watched as it evolved, gradually growing grand and expansive, reminiscent of the ancient residence of the heavenly emperor. Four heavenly gates stood in the cardinal directions, imposing and towering, each capable of encompassing the vast expanse of the universe. The aim was to compel the Destined Ones to flock to him, using grandeur to entice them.

Gu Changge’s intentions were straightforward—to attract a group of Destined Ones to serve him, while they, in turn, would seek ways to harvest the luck of another group. Gu Changge would gain considerable benefits through this exchange of luck, trading them for valuable assets at a premium price in the system store.

However, with his current stash of Destiny points, realizing these plans remained a challenge. These were aspirations for the future, contingent on his ability to expand his influence beyond the Upper Realm to encompass the entire Heavenly Realms. Acquiring a substantial amount of Destiny points was imperative to actualize these ambitions.

I should monitor Yue Mingkong’s movements closely. After all my efforts in her, she’s bound to take notice.

Gu Changge contemplated. He foresaw that Yue Mingkong’s actions could lead to the emergence of the following advantageous individual. He hoped this individual would bring with them a significant influx of luck and Destiny points, essential for executing his myriad plans.

Without such resources, realizing his current ambitions would prove challenging. Gu Changge understood the importance of seizing and leveraging opportunities to achieve his goals.
