Within Mo Yu’s dantian, an immense and scorching Pure Yang power erupted.
It instantly swept through every part of his body.
Every inch of flesh and every meridian seemed to undergo a baptism of flames. Crackling sounds echoed as his muscles, bones, and tendons resonated together.
Very quickly, the physique fusion was completed.
Mo Yu subconsciously clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him.
His 4th stage Golden Core Realm cultivation rose rapidly, faintly touching the threshold of another breakthrough.
Fusing with this physique was equivalent to nearly a full year of bitter cultivation.
Mo Yu was overjoyed.
As a protagonist from the useless-genius archetype, he finally had a usable physique.
It truly hadn’t been easy.
Yan Xi, who had been watching him the entire time, also noticed the changes. Surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes.
“You became stronger? Because of dual cultivation?”
Her divine sense was currently too weak to see through Mo Yu’s condition.
Mo Yu did not answer.
Because the system notifications had not stopped.
[Mo Yu’s opportunity has been intercepted by you. He must be heartbroken right now. This is the best opportunity to plunder his destiny.]
[Plundering destiny for you.]
[…]
[Detected an unknown force attempting to plunder your destiny. Automatically activating defensive mechanism.]
[…]
Mo Yu’s expression became strange.
Why did this system feel a little silly?
Plundering his own destiny?
Then giving himself protection?
This operation was absolutely absurd!
It really had bugged out!
[Destiny plunder failed.]
[Automatically replenishing destiny for you.]
[Destiny +1000]
[Villain Points +1000]
Mo Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This was simply ridiculous.
Soon enough, he accepted the situation.
Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it.
The author had probably assigned him the wrong system.
After calming himself down, he began studying this bizarre system.
Suppressing a Child of Destiny would grant rewards.
The rewards included cultivation, cultivation techniques, martial techniques, treasures, pills, special abilities, destiny, Villain Points, and more.
Villain Points could be exchanged in the system shop for all kinds of rare items.
But the Child of Destiny was himself.
How was he supposed to suppress himself?
He decided to set that issue aside for now and investigate it later.
Mo Yu checked the information on his physique.
Compared to an ordinary one, it had two additional functions.
The first was strengthening a designated organ.
The second was that anyone who tried to harvest his yang energy to replenish their yin energy would instead be harvested by him.
Very good.
Although the Pure Yang Sacred Body was powerful, it was also a dual cultivation furnace physique on the same level as the Pure Yin Sacred Body.
While he was at it, he looked through the system shop.
The prices ranged from low to high.
Chaos Grand Dao Art, Supreme-grade cultivation technique, price: 10,000,000,000 Villain Points…
After seeing that, he stopped looking.
Ten zeros. Ten billion.
Who was this system trying to fool?
No one could afford something like that even by the end of the novel!
He quickly scanned through the cheaper items.
There was nothing he could currently afford that was worth buying.
So he temporarily ignored the shop.
With a thought, he opened the system panel.
[Name: Mo Yu]
[Realm: 4th stage Golden Core Realm]
[Physiques: Chaos Divine Body (Unawakened), Pure Yang Sacred Body]
[Cultivation Techniques: Tianxuan Sacred Canon (High-grade Heaven Rank), Great Burning Heaven Art (High-grade Human Rank, Upgradable)]
[Spells: Tianxuan Sword Technique, Tianxuan Spear Technique, Tianxuan Thunder Technique…]
[Special: Immortal Bone (Incomplete), Azure Underworld Spirit Flame, Pure Yang True Flame]
[Destiny: 11,000 (Gold)]
[Villain Points: 1,000]
[Evaluation: So weak. I don’t know how you even became a villain. This system will help you become a super invincible ultimate villain.]
[Note: Destiny grades are Black, Gray, White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Rainbow.]
Well, that’s just how protagonists from the useless-genius archetype are.
Mo Yu complained inwardly.
He wasn’t surprised by the existence of the Immortal Bone and Chaos Divine Body.
What Child of Destiny didn’t have some heaven-defying cheat?
The only problem was that both of them were currently useless.
He had to admit, this system was truly incredible.
It could actually allow someone to possess two physiques.
[Detected Fated Woman of Destiny: Yan Xi. Suppressing her will grant rewards.]
Mo Yu turned his head.
Yan Xi was standing right beside him.
Her fiery red dress flowed like living flames, perfectly outlining a figure capable of stealing anyone’s breath away.
She resembled a blooming crimson lotus within the dark cave, both enchanting and sacred.
Her transcendent aura carried a touch of otherworldly mystery, making people reluctant to profane her.
Snow-white hair cascaded smoothly to her waist, gleaming softly like moonlight.
Her ruby-like eyes sparkled brighter than stars, deep and captivating.
Her beauty was beyond description.
A peerless existence.
Like a divine maiden descending into the mortal world.
The system panel popped up.
[Name: Yan Xi]
[Destiny: Purple]
[Favorability: 100 (Treats you as her own child)]
[Description: Once a great power in the Immortal Realm. She perished after being betrayed by her closest friend and slept within a ring until meeting Mo Yu. She helped him cultivate. The two are both master and friend, sharing a bond akin to mother and son.]
[Detected that you successfully intercepted the Fated Woman of Destiny, Yan Xi.]
[Your current relationship with Yan Xi is akin to that of mother and son. She is willing to sacrifice her life for you. Although there are currently no romantic feelings, establishing a relationship first and then developing a physical relationship is also a viable option.]
[This system respects all your preferences, even if you enjoy master-disciple roleplay.]
System, stop slandering my innocence out of nowhere!
Mo Yu shouted inwardly.
How could he possibly do something like that?
Yan Xi treated him as her own child.
He had always respected her deeply.
As long as Yan Xi was unwilling, even if he died, he would never commit such an act of betraying his master.
The system possessed no consciousness and naturally did not respond to his complaints. It simply continued broadcasting.
[As a villain, you are naturally hated by those favored by the Heavenly Dao. You must have paid an enormous price to deceive such a powerful individual for this game.]
Not that much, just his Golden Core cultivation.
Back then, his entire Golden Core cultivation had been drained away.
If not for protection from people within the Sacred Land, he would have been expelled according to the rules.
[Villain counterattack successful.]
[Reward: Netherworld Ghost Flame.]
[Netherworld Ghost Flame: Extremely vicious. It can burn souls, incinerate all impurities in existence, and possesses tremendous destructive power against divine souls. It requires souls as fuel to strengthen itself.]
[Plundering Mo Yu’s destiny. Plunder failed. Automatically replenishing.]
[Destiny +1000]
[Villain Points +1000]
Mo Yu’s heart shook violently as he immediately inspected his dantian.
There, a pale ghostly-white flame quietly flickered.
It radiated a chilling aura capable of making one’s heart tremble.
The flame was silent, yet it felt capable of freezing souls and devouring all vitality.
The Netherworld Ghost Flame!
It was still relatively weak at the moment and needed souls as nourishment to grow stronger.
Once strengthened through soul energy, it would surpass even the Pure Yang True Flame.
For twenty years, he had been a Child of Destiny.
Never once had he encountered an opportunity this great.
System, you’re amazing!
“Little Yu, I feel like something is wrong with you.”
Yan Xi’s voice pulled Mo Yu out of his shock.
He quickly composed himself and pretended nothing had happened.
“What’s wrong?”
He carefully observed Yan Xi’s expression, making sure he hadn’t shown any intention whatsoever of pursuing his master.
Yan Xi frowned slightly, her red eyes shimmering.
“You seem to have become… much more handsome?”
Dual cultivation could improve appearance too?
She had never experienced it herself, so naturally she didn’t know.
Mo Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Sister Yan Xi, have you ever heard of awakening a physique after birth?”
“You awakened a physique?”
“Of course.”
Mo Yu smiled confidently as he released his aura.
The vast and powerful Pure Yang energy surged outward.
