Hearing the prompt in his ear, Su Ming showed no sign of panic. After reading countless novels, he naturally understood what that voice meant. “System, is there a newbie gift pack?”
[Newbie Gift Pack: One copy of the Source Codex of Creation.]
[Alter the fate trajectory destined by the heavens to obtain Destiny Points.]
[Please strive hard, Host. Crush all Children of Destiny and escape your original fate.]
“How stupid would I have to be to follow the same doomed fate again?”
He had an invincible background and unrivaled talent—why would he walk the same path again? Su Ming’s gaze was icy. So what if someone is the Child of Destiny? Since he had been reborn, even without the system, he would crush that so-called Child of Destiny beneath his feet and rise to the peak. With a thought, Su Ming opened the system panel.
[Name]: Su Ming
[Realm]: 7th stage Extraordinary Realm (Single-handed strength of 500,000 newtons)
[Innate Abilities]: Supreme Chaos Body, Innate Dao Bone
[Techniques]: Source Codex of Creation (1st level), Trinity Scripture (3rd level)
[Possessions]: Will of Heavenly Dao Realm*2 (A wisp of will from a Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse, can unleash a full-powered Heavenly Dao Realm strike in times of crisis)
[Destiny Points]: 500
“Will of the Heavenly Dao Realm? There was nothing like this in the original novel…” In the original plot, the Devouring Demon Lord’s parents never appeared at all, let alone left behind such a will within him. If this thing existed in the original, how could the Devouring Demon Lord have been slain by Chu Fan?
Even by the time the novel was axed, the plot hadn’t left the Heaven Primordial Continent, and the strongest realm mentioned was only the 1st stage Void Realm. But thinking about it, it made sense. As parents, how could they rest easy letting their child grow up alone in an unfamiliar world?
Feeling the Source Codex of Creation operating automatically within his body, Su Ming understood. “This is a real world. Things can’t follow the original plot exactly, but the overall direction surely won’t change. That means, unless I trample the Child of Destiny, the original fate of the Devouring Demon Lord will become my fate too?”
What a joke! That ending was not the one Su Ming wanted!
At that moment, he looked ahead at Chu Yiyi. She had just said she would never speak to him again, yet she hadn’t even walked a hundred meters away. Clearly, she was playing hard to get. In Su Ming’s memory, this kind of thing had happened more than once.
If it were the original situation, he would’ve run over to apologize and obediently handed over the Three Saints Golden Lotus to earn Chu Yiyi’s forgiveness. “Giving her all those treasures, which ended up in Chu Fan’s hands, and I didn’t even get to hold her hand once. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.”
Looking at Chu Yiyi’s retreating figure, Su Ming suddenly felt an itch in his palm and called out, “Junior Sister, wait…”
Chu Yiyi immediately stopped when she heard that, secretly pleased. This trick never failed. But she still put on a pouty expression and turned back, “Didn’t Senior Brother tell me to get lost? Why are you calling me now?”
“You’re too slow. I’ll help you.”
As soon as Su Ming finished speaking, Chu Yiyi felt a stinging pain on her face and was sent flying hundreds of meters away by a slap. When she landed, disbelief filled her eyes. As for Su Ming, he had long vanished. On his way out, he even heard the system prompt.

After returning to his room, Su Ming took out the Three Saints Golden Lotus. As the supreme treasure of the Trinity Saint Sect, it was one of the Heaven Primordial Continent’s top divine herbs. In the original story, Chu Fan had used it to awaken his hidden bloodline, leaped straight into the Longevity Realm, and then won first place in the sect competition, becoming the sect’s Holy Son.
“It truly is a great treasure. But now, it’s mine!”
He swallowed the Three Saints Golden Lotus and activated the Source Codex of Creation with full force. Originally stuck at the 7th stage Extraordinary Realm, he immediately broke through to the 8th stage. The Dao Bone along his spine blazed with heat, and his entire body surged with the aura unique to the Supreme Chaos Body.
Since the Three Saints Golden Lotus could awaken Chu Fan’s bloodline, it could naturally enhance the Supreme Chaos Body and the Innate Dao Bone. By the time Su Ming stopped circulating the Source Codex of Creation, his realm had reached the peak of the Extraordinary Realm.
His talent was simply too overwhelming—even a treasure like the Three Saints Golden Lotus couldn’t help him break through to the next realm.
“Single-handed strength of 500,000 newtons. No cultivator below the 3rd stage Longevity Realm is a match for me.” Feeling the strength coursing through his body, Su Ming exhaled deeply.
“Any disciple who places in the top hundred in the sect competition qualifies to enter the Trinity Saint Secret Realm. The one who places first not only gains the title of Holy Son but also gets to select a treasure from the sect’s treasury.”
“Chu Fan, all your fortuitous encounters will now belong to me!”
Su Ming remembered clearly that the sect treasury contained a treasure capable of completely altering his destiny. With his current status, he might be able to obtain it directly, but compared to that, he looked forward more to stepping over Chu Fan to claim it.
Of course, there was one more thing to handle before that.
“Uncle Meng.” As soon as Su Ming called out, an elderly man in black appeared before him. This was the Dao Guardian his parents had left for him. In the original plot, after the Devouring Demon Lord’s reputation fell, the Dao Guardian left in disappointment. Yet even then, when Chu Fan tried to kill him, the guardian still appeared to stall for time, hoping to let him escape. Sadly, in the end, both he and the Devouring Demon Lord died at Chu Fan’s hands.
“Young Master, what are your orders?”
“Find out who was guarding the Trinity Saint Pool that day, and who told Chu Yiyi how to get there!”
Uncle Meng instantly understood what Su Ming meant and replied, “Understood. I’ll investigate immediately!”
The Trinity Saint Pool, which produced the Three Saints Golden Lotus, was a forbidden area in the Trinity Saint Sect. How could a junior sneak in and even take the lotus?
Having cleaned up after Su Ming for years, Uncle Meng instinctively assumed it was another one of his Young Master’s blunders and hadn’t thought much of it. But now, it clearly wasn’t that simple.
“For the Trinity Saint Sect to dare plot against Young Master… they must be tired of living! Young Master, how should we deal with them once they’re found?”
“Bring them back for questioning. I want to see who had the guts.”
“As you command!” Uncle Meng’s eyes flashed with excitement. He had witnessed everything Su Ming did today. Originally, he had thought his Young Master was hopeless, but to his surprise, he had noticed details even Uncle Meng had missed.
“Could Young Master have been hiding his strength all along?”
Recalling the signs from Su Ming’s past cultivation, Uncle Meng now had an answer. “That must be it! To think Young Master could maintain such composure at his age. Even I was fooled…”
Thinking this, Uncle Meng dropped to his knees, tears flowing. “Young Master, this old servant was blind and failed to recognize your true intentions. Please punish me!”
“We’re all family, Uncle Meng. What are you doing? Quickly, get up.”
