Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Divine Maiden Gu, Gu Qingrao

"Old Ancestor, can you really heal my younger brother?"

Inside the main hall.

A Stunning Woman wearing a snow-white gauze dress sat on a jade chair.

At this moment, her starry eyes were fixed on the handsome White-Robed Man sitting across from her, as if to confirm the truth of his words.

The handsome man she called Old Ancestor took a sip of tea. "Naturally, I wouldn't lie to you about such a matter."

Hearing this, ripples appeared in the Stunning Woman's eyes.

She naturally believed that he would not lie to her, as there was no need.

After all, if he truly wanted to force her into that kind of Cultivate, she would have no power to resist.

The White-Robed Man put down his tea cup and looked at the ethereal Fairy before him, knowing she was already moved.

Indeed, she looked at the White-Robed Man seriously and spoke softly: "Old Ancestor, as long as you can heal my brother, Xiao Raoer is willing to agree to your conditions."

"Good, go bring your brother here." The White-Robed Man showed a faint smile.

He already wanted to taste the flavor of this generation's Goddess.

"Then Xiao Raoer will take her leave first." The Stunning Woman stood up and bowed respectfully to him.

After the White-Robed Man waved his hand, the Stunning Woman slowly departed.

As her figure completely vanished from his sight, thoughts began to swirl in the White-Robed Man's mind.

His name was Ye Qingyun, and he was a transmigrator who had died in his past life after being struck by a truck.

After death, he transmigrated to this Xuanhuan world called the Shenzhou Continent and obtained a Villain System.

This Villain System was used to harvest the Luck of the Child of Destiny; every harvest would yield a System reward.

The System rewards were divided into four levels: White, Green, Purple, and Gold.

Harvesting all of a Child of Destiny's Luck would grant a Purple System reward.

Of course, one could also directly kill a Child of Destiny to harvest all their Luck.

To obtain a Gold System reward, one had to accumulate the kills of five Children of Destiny.

After claiming a Gold System reward, one would need to kill another five Children of Destiny to obtain it again, and so on.

Unfortunately, in the five hundred years since he transmigrated, he had only encountered two Children of Destiny.

Perhaps it was because the Shenzhou Continent was currently in the Dharma-Ending Age?

Ye Qingyun's eyes were thoughtful.

He then shook his head slightly, suppressing his thoughts, and instead thought of the Stunning Woman from before.

"I wonder what the flavor of this generation's Goddess of Wangchen Mountain is like."

Thinking of the ethereal and beautiful figure of the Divine Maiden Gu Qingrao, the corners of Ye Qingyun's mouth curled up.

...

Wangchen Mountain was a supreme Holy Land renowned throughout the Shenzhou Continent, making the world yearn for it.

It was located on the Yuntian Mountain Range in the Eastern Region, which stretched for hundreds of millions of miles.

Within the Yuntian Mountain Range.

A cold, aloof, and untainted Fairy arrived at a Peak shrouded in mist.

She moved her long jade legs and entered a quiet courtyard.

Inside the room, Gu Qingrao sat by the bedside, her eyes full of heartache as she looked at the vacant-eyed youth in Daoist robes lying on the bed.

"Yuan'er, the Old Ancestor will definitely be able to heal you," she said softly, her hand gently stroking his face.

This was her younger brother, named Gu Yuan.

He was her only remaining relative now that their father had disappeared.

He was born foolish and could barely even speak, which had caused Gu Qingrao extreme worry since they were young.

After becoming the Goddess of Wangchen Mountain, she had sought out many famous doctors, but all were helpless.

With no other choice, she had gone to find the Old Ancestor.

But the Old Ancestor was not so easy to see; if not for her Master's help in reporting, even as the Goddess of Wangchen Mountain, she wouldn't have been able to meet him so easily.

Thinking of the price she had to pay for the Old Ancestor's help, Gu Qingrao bit her lip.

She had no regrets; having been adopted by Wangchen Mountain since childhood, she had deep feelings for this place.

Even if she had to Cultivate with the Old Ancestor in the future, she didn't feel much resentment.

After all, the Old Ancestor said she could assist him in his Cultivate.

Gu Qingrao, who had long considered Wangchen Mountain her home, felt that she was also contributing a bit of effort for the mountain.

As long as the Old Ancestor's cultivation continued to improve, he could also better protect Wangchen Mountain.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingrao waved her hand and brought Gu Yuan to the Dust-Severing Peak where the Old Ancestor resided.

Before long, she arrived at the entrance of the Dust-Severing Hall on Dust-Severing Peak.

"Old Ancestor, Xiao Raoer requests an audience," her cold voice drifted out.

"Enter."

A voice came from within the hall, and the hall doors opened just enough for one person to enter.

Gu Qingrao's cold, immortal face was full of indifference as she stepped inside.

As soon as she entered the hall, she saw the Old Ancestor sitting in his previous seat.

"Come and sit," Ye Qingyun called out to Gu Qingrao, while glancing at the youth in Daoist robes beside her who was being carried by immortal light.

[Ding! Child of Destiny detected]

[Gu Yuan]

[Identity: Younger brother of Goddess of Wangchen Mountain Gu Qingrao]

[Physique: Mortal Physique]

[cultivation: Body Tempering Realm Peak]

Ye Qingyun raised an eyebrow.

The brother of this generation's Goddess of Wangchen Mountain was actually a Child of Destiny, and looking at his body, there were actually two Souls. Interesting.

"Old Ancestor."

Gu Qingrao was already sitting across from Ye Qingyun and called out to him softly.

Only then did Ye Qingyun move his gaze from Gu Yuan to her.

"Old Ancestor, have you noticed anything?" A flash of joy appeared in Gu Qingrao's starry eyes.

She had just seen the Old Ancestor inspecting her brother and raising his eyebrows.

This led Gu Qingrao to guess that the Old Ancestor must have discovered something.

"Yes, there are two Souls in your brother's body, and they are constantly undergoing Fusion."

"If I weren't in the Saint King Realm, I might not have been able to see anything," Ye Qingyun said calmly.

"Two Souls? Fusion? Could it be... someone is attempting Possession on my brother?"

Gu Qingrao's face showed shock, and she felt some lingering fear.

She couldn't believe what the consequences would have been if she hadn't sought out the Old Ancestor.

"I beg the Old Ancestor to save my brother." Gu Qingrao looked at him with eyes full of entreaty.

She was afraid that if the two Souls continued their Fusion, even the Old Ancestor would be unable to help.

"Mm." Ye Qingyun nodded.

He then flicked his finger, and a dark purple Qi surged into the Soul space within Gu Yuan's body.

Looking at the Souls undergoing Fusion within the Soul space, Ye Qingyun's gaze was profound.

In his view, this other Soul was the Child of Destiny, so as long as he killed it, he could obtain a Purple System reward.

But unfortunately, it had already fused with more than half of Gu Yuan's Soul, so it could not be directly killed; otherwise, Gu Yuan would also die.

"Then let everything of this Soul become Gu Yuan's foundation."

Ye Qingyun felt that in this way, that Child of Destiny could be considered dead in an alternative sense.

He then used the power within his body to crush the part belonging to the other Soul into fragments, which were then absorbed by Gu Yuan's Soul.

This caused Gu Yuan's originally withered Soul to begin growing, constantly devouring the other Soul.

Ye Qingyun seemed to faintly hear some wails.

He didn't care and continued to help Gu Yuan devour that Soul.

Before long, that Soul was completely devoured by Gu Yuan, causing him to fall into a deep sleep, unconsciously digesting and absorbing the Soul energy within him.
