“It’s an innate natal treasure. It awakened together with my constitution and the ghost flame,” Mo Yu said casually.
Yan Xi’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, and suspicion flickered through her crimson eyes.
“You’re not secretly the biological son of the Netherworld Ghost Emperor, are you?”
“And… who in their right mind sets the awakening condition as dual cultivation?”
She knew that Mo Yu’s origins were unknown.
She had always assumed he was merely an orphan from an ordinary mortal family.
But now, she could not help wondering. Could his father truly be some Immortal Emperor?
Mo Yu’s expression remained calm. “I don’t know. As far back as I can remember, I had no parents.”
Yan Xi’s heart softened, and a trace of pity surfaced in her red eyes. Her voice turned gentle. “It’s alright. You still have me.”
A warm current flowed through Mo Yu’s heart. “Thank you, my good sister, my good master.”
He pushed the matter aside and focused on Qin Shou’s memories.
Nearby, Chu Yuli’s heartbeat quickened slightly.
That black banner…
Could Master be an evil cultivator?
She secretly observed Mo Yu.
His aura was peaceful, completely devoid of the cold, sinister feeling typical of evil cultivators.
Her anxious heart gradually settled.
If she had boarded the ship of an evil cultivator, it would have been disastrous.
Evil cultivators were enemies of all.
That soul banner must have been seized from some other evil cultivator!
Yes, that had to be it.
Mo Yu quickly finished scanning the memories.
He now knew the location of the Qin family, as well as the times and places where Secret Realms near them would open.
As for information about Chu Yuli, it was pitifully scarce.
Qin Shou had not even known that Chu Yuli was Li Feiyu.
However, he did uncover one important detail.
One year later, Li Mozun, that is, Chu Yuli, would first rise to prominence in a Secret Realm within the Heavenly Profound Domain.
Mo Yu made a decision.
When the time came, he would bring Chu Yuli there and have her hand over part of the resources. That would certainly count as suppression.
He then asked the system, “Can you locate that reborn person?”
He wanted to bring that one over as well and slowly suppress him.
[Price: 500 villain points]
Mo Yu’s expression darkened.
He only had 10,000 destiny himself.
Even if he killed that person, he could only afford to check twenty times.
But remembering that the system had certain exploitable flaws regarding villain points, he clenched his teeth and made up his mind.
Exchange!
[Villain Points -500]
[Reborn Person Location: Heavenly Profound Holy Land]
Mo Yu froze.
Heavenly Profound Holy Land?!
He and another Child of Destiny were in the same faction?
And he had never even noticed?
“System, is there a specific name or a more precise location?”
[Price: 500 villain points]
Mo Yu: “…”
Black!
So damn black!
Even worse than a ruthless landlord!
He took a deep breath to steady his emotions.
Then he asked an extremely important question.
“If I kill a Child of Destiny before plundering their destiny, what will happen?”
[If you kill a Child of Destiny, the Child of Destiny will die]
“And what if I let someone else do it? For example, have Chu Yuli kill them, or hire a Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouse to eliminate another Child of Destiny?”
[Even for a Child of Destiny, it is very difficult to kill another Child of Destiny]
[Other powerhouses will only become opportunities for the Child of Destiny]
Mo Yu nodded.
He had learned three crucial pieces of information.
First, the system was above the Heavenly Dao.
Second, he did not need to fear other Children of Destiny.
Third, no one could kill him.
In summary, he was fully activated.
Given that, the identity of that Child of Destiny was no longer important.
Moreover, the system could detect Children of Destiny.
Once he returned to the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, he would naturally find out who it was.
Mo Yu bent down and began looting.
The moment he picked up the storage ring, the system’s notification sounded.
[Qin Shou was one of the important opportunities on Chu Yuli’s cultivation path. You have successfully intercepted it]
[Reward: 1 Divine Transformation Realm Banner Spirit]
[Villain Points +100]
Mo Yu curled his lips. “A Divine Transformation Realm banner spirit? What am I supposed to feed it with?”
In novels, the Ten-Thousand Soul Banner was always depicted as overwhelmingly powerful.
But only after truly transmigrating did he realize.
This weapon was ridiculously impractical.
Its creation process was absurdly demanding, even harder than grinding for perfect attributes.
The later maintenance was even worse.
It required a continuous supply of resentful energy.
If it were of the same realm as himself, he could barely substitute spiritual energy.
But this was a Divine Transformation Realm banner spirit!
Where would he find that much spiritual energy?
The system responded:
[Banner spirits rewarded by the system are perpetual motion mechanisms and require no maintenance]
[As for other banner spirits, it is recommended that you carry out world massacres and racial exterminations, using the endless resentment of living beings to forge supreme ferocity]
Several black lines appeared on Mo Yu’s forehead.
As expected of a Villain Counterattack System.
Truly villainous.
He turned his attention to the Human Emperor Banner.
Aside from Qin Shou’s soul.
There was now an overwhelmingly powerful humanoid soul within, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
A Divine Transformation Realm banner spirit!
Just as the system said, even without resentment to nourish it, this banner spirit would not dissipate.
He could not help but sigh.
The system was insane.
Today’s gains exceeded everything he had obtained in his entire life through countless life-and-death struggles combined.
If being a former Child of Destiny had merely increased drop rates.
Now, it was infinite resources.
This was ascending to heaven in a single step.
It was exhilarating beyond words.
Mo Yu extended his Divine Sense into the storage ring.
Suddenly, a streak of light shot out from within.
…
Chaotic Star Domain, Shattered Star Province, Qin Family.
Inside the Soul Lamp Hall, two soul lamps slowly extinguished, turning into drifting ashes.
“Shou’er!”
A shrill roar exploded like thunder, shaking the entire Qin family.
A figure burst forth, bringing with him a wave of cold, sinister wind.
He wore black robes, his face gaunt, his eyes blood-red like a demon crawling out of hell.
He was Qin Jun, the Qin family’s ancestor, a notorious Divine Transformation Realm demonic cultivator in Shattered Star Province.
At this moment, this usually unfathomable powerhouse was like a madman, roaring at the sky.
“Who! Who dared to kill my Shou’er!”
Qin Shou was his most beloved grandson and the heir upon whom he had placed high hopes.
Forming a Golden Core within 100 years might not be top-tier talent in the Chaotic Star Domain.
But in Shattered Star Province, it was exceedingly rare, enough to guarantee another thousand years of Qin family glory.
And now he had been killed.
How could he accept it?
With a wave of his hand, spiritual power surged, and a massive map appeared in the sky above the Qin family.
A white marker appeared upon it. It indicated Mo Yu’s location.
“Pass down my order. Even if you must dig three meters into the ground, find the murderer!”
“I will make him and everything behind him buried alongside my Shou’er!”
Before he finished speaking, the map in the sky exploded violently.
Shockwaves rolled outward, sweeping across the Qin family grounds with thunderous booms.
Qin Jun’s expression darkened. He waved his hand, and a vast force surged out, suppressing the violent shockwave.
Then, a gigantic middle finger slowly appeared in the sky.
Below it followed a line of large characters.
“Idiot. With your level, you think you can track me?”
The brazen provocation was visible throughout the surrounding regions, like a resounding slap across the Qin family’s face.
Many began whispering and pointing.
Some rival families secretly started investigating the matter.
Qin Jun’s face was so dark it seemed ready to drip water.
Not only was his grandson dead, but the Qin family’s reputation had been utterly humiliated. It was a disgrace beyond measure.
Worse still, he had now lost track of the culprit.
…
On the other side.
After performing that small spell, Mo Yu casually erased the Divine Sense mark.
These people truly lacked creativity.
Always relying on Divine Sense marks.
He reviewed the information about the Qin family from Qin Shou’s memories.
The Qin family had three Divine Transformation Realm old monsters.
They also had more than a dozen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
But many wanted him dead.
What was a mere Qin family?
After some thought, Mo Yu made his decision.
Return to the Holy Land.
Gather people.
Destroy the Qin family.
