Su Yun heard the system prompt in his ear:
[From the shattered myriad worlds, you obtained the only Crimson Moon Flower.]
[You must have endured countless hardships along the way, crossing great distances, right?]
[Such filial piety moves heaven and earth.]
[The world learns that the Demon Lord has a human side—redemption progress has greatly increased.]
[Reward… bzz… error, where did all those Crimson Moon Flowers come from?]
[Reward… adjusting.]
[Reward: Imperial Qi-Gazing Technique → Dual-Pupils]
Buzz!
A sharp pain flashed in Su Yun’s eyes, and the world immediately became clearer.
Whether near or far, everything in his vision emitted a radiant glow that only he could see.
The stronger the cultivation, the brighter the glow.
Looking out the window, he saw beams of light surging into the sky from all over the capital—hidden powerhouses from every major family.
But two of them stood out—Xiao Qingchen, who had just been taken away, was one of them.
The glow around him nearly pierced the heavens, powerful enough to even affect the Great Qian Empire’s national fortune.
“That must be Fortune,” Su Yun thought, “As expected of the Child of Destiny—the accumulated luck on him is insane.”
These Children of Destiny were like balloons filled with filth.
Popping one was easy, but the splash of karma would affect everyone nearby.
Su Yun looked toward another courtyard in the Su Residence—the annex where the Xiao family lived.
There, another beam of light soared into the sky, slightly weaker than Xiao Qingchen’s.
“That must be Lin Ying’er. As expected—two of a kind.”
Su Yun shook his head.
The Fortune-blessed male and female leads were always drawn together by fate, bound to end up together.
According to the original plot, Lin Ying’er should still be pretending to be his ally at this point.
She used sweet words and fake affection to gain resources, secretly sabotaging him so he would always lose to the protagonist.
The original Su Yun never truly acted against her, bound by lingering feelings, which led to his defeat in the final battle when inner demons overwhelmed him.
But after his transmigration, the butterfly effect had changed the plot slightly.
Good—at least that manipulative Lin Ying’er had latched onto the protagonist instead.
At least he wouldn’t have to deal with her.
But what did any of that have to do with a three-year-old child?
Su Yun didn’t care in the slightest. He had a cheat system—no need to worry about petty plot tools.
He blinked, and an illusory pupil appeared in his eyes, then slowly faded away.
“Dual-Pupils—one of the top-tier constitutions.”
Su Yun discovered he could see through his own meridians and bones, effortlessly controlling strength, blood flow, and spiritual energy with perfect precision—zero wastage. Visit NovelPing for the full chapter.
“Incredible! With full control over body and energy, learning any cultivation method would be a breeze!”
He was thrilled, but more importantly, he noticed he could see faint strands of destiny.
Even mundane objects glowed faintly—clearly capable of affecting the world in meaningful ways.
“No wonder Dual-Pupils are so legendary. Once I grow older and unlock the sealed techniques, who knows what else they can do.”
Su Yun could faintly sense that more mysterious powers were sealed within the Dual-Pupils.
But his young body was too fragile to handle them now—forcing it open would cause harm, so the ability remained dormant.
“Yun’er, let Father take a look.” Su Changge spoke then, the aloofness on his face melting into overwhelming warmth.
Xi Yaoyue still looked worried. “Yesterday, the Supervisor helped cleanse the Chaotic Poison.”
“But there’s still a Devour Heaven Demonic Art in Yun’er’s body—it’ll take a month to extract.”
“I don’t know if it’ll have any side effects…”
“Supervisor?” Su Changge picked Su Yun up and examined his meridians, spotting the restriction on his left palm.
He reassured them, “Yun’er’s qi and blood are full and strong. It seems the Sacred Bone fused well. No problems.”
“I see no signs of Chaotic Poison—it won’t affect his future cultivation.”
“And that demonic art… The Supervisor rarely steps in, but if he said it’s fine, it should be fine.”
Su Yun nodded in agreement.
With a Dao Bone in him, a bit of Chaotic Poison was nothing.
As for that demonic art—he didn’t plan to cultivate it. Anyone else could have it.
Besides, just having a divine-grade technique didn’t mean you could destroy the world.
Without the protagonist’s luck, at most you’d end up a minor boss.
“You’re such a clever little devil—just nodding like you understand,” Xi Yaoyue laughed.
Still, she relaxed. “As long as Yun’er’s fine… that’s all that matters.”
But her face dimmed slightly. “I just don’t understand how Qingchen turned out like this…”
“Can he even be saved?”
Su Changge’s warm expression disappeared, turning distant again. “He made his choices. He has to face the consequences.”
“Boys grow through hardship.”
“Losing the Sacred Bone is one way to reveal character.”
He waved a hand and summoned the steward. “Send Qingchen some rare spiritual herbs. Help him recover quickly.”
“If he can reflect and change, he’s still salvageable.”
“Otherwise…”
A cold glint flashed in Su Changge’s eyes, but his hand gently stroked Su Yun’s head.
“Yun’er may not have the Su family’s bloodline—but Yun’er’s children can.”
Xi Yaoyue spat at him. “Don’t say such things in front of the child!”
“I’m just stating facts,” Su Changge replied seriously. “Yun’er has three older sisters…”
Xi Yaoyue raised her hand to hit him but hesitated with the child nearby.
“Military duty. I’ll return in a month,” Su Changge nodded.
“An alien race from beyond the domain is using a type of Northern Abyss Insect. Extremely poisonous, nearly impossible to kill, and the miasma it releases can’t be dispersed.”
“Our army has been forced back to the Great Wall Formation—we can’t break through.”
“There are three potential counters: fire assault, flood tactics, and summoning beast suppression.”
“But each method has flaws, and none are guaranteed to work.”
“We can’t test each one either. If the enemy catches on, they’ll prepare for it, and we’ll lose our only chance.”
“So we can only deploy the right method during a surprise breakout.”
“This trip back is to decide which strategy to use.”
“Sounds tricky,” Xi Yaoyue nodded. She couldn’t help, so she could only offer emotional support.
She looked down and saw Su Yun listening intently. She smiled. “Can you even understand any of this?”
Just as Su Yun was about to nod, he heard a chime.
[Emperor Changge, for the sake of all living beings in the Heavenly Origin Realm, led his army against the demon horde. He was defeated and later sealed.]
[An emperor cannot be humiliated. Cursed daily in despair, coupled with the karma of a father killing his son, endless sin accumulated.]
[To redeem your own fate, you must break the seal on Emperor Changge and undo the tragic fate of father and son in conflict.]
[Recruit Emperor Changge under your command. Make him your subordinate and aid in your rise.]
[Mission Difficulty: Supreme]
[Mission Reward: Ancestor Blood of the Firmament]
Su Yun’s brow twitched—a reaction that looked irresistibly adorable on a three-year-old.
He remembered—the plot said after Su Yun turned into a Demon Lord, Su Changge, for the sake of countless lives, was forced into a deadly battle with his own son.
After defeating him, Su Yun spared his life and sealed him within the Heart of Darkness out of lingering sentiment.
But Su Changge, witnessing the genocide of the Heavenly Origin Realm, sank into despair and cursed the heavens daily.
As Emperor, his fate intertwined with Su Yun’s, resulting in endless karma.
During Su Yun’s final battle with the protagonist, this karma was ignited by merit and exploded.
Although Su Yun was stronger than the protagonist, he was gravely wounded by the backlash, allowing his inner demons to strike, leading to his downfall.
But now…
Su Yun looked at the scruffy, fatherly man with a gentle smile.
He reached out, tugged open the embroidered pouch at Su Changge’s waist, and grabbed something at random.
Unsealing it counted as removing the seal, right?
Su Changge hissed—this three-year-old’s hands were faster than imperial weapons!
Before he realized it, three scrolls had fallen out.
Su Yun picked one up and handed it over.
Su Changge chuckled. “That’s a military order. You want this?”
Su Yun nodded. “Yes! This one!”
Su Changge patted his head. “Alright, alright. We’ll go with Yun’er’s choice—Fire Attack!”
