I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 189: Fulfilling Others Wishes; Let The Leeks Harvest The Leeks!

“Damned Gu Changge…”

“One day, I’ll suppress you. Then I’ll throw you to the bottom of a pit so that you’ll be stuck in there for the rest of your life!”

[PR/N: TSUNDERE TO YANDERE CONFIRMED]

Whoosh!

A stream of light swept past from the base of the Supreme Peak.

It was Gu Xian’er, who was passing by. She grunted coldly at the Palace on the mountain peak.

She then turned around and headed for the place she usually cultivated.

Seeing this made some of the followers behind Gu Xian’er feel a bit helpless and bitter.

Each time she returned, Gu Xian’er would never forget to come to the base of the Supreme Peak and yell at Gu Changge inside.

In the beginning, Gu Changge would appear with a frown and smack Gu Xian’er onto the ground to make her understand the consequences of acting so spoiled.

However, it seemed as though Gu Xian’er had gotten used to the feeling of being beaten up by Gu Changge from time to time.

After receiving a beating, she could feel her cultivation show faint signs of breakthrough.

The strength of Gu Changge was still as unfathomable as it was at the beginning, still enough to easily suppress her.

When Gu Xian’er confronted Gu Changge, she discovered that these confrontations were far more effective than cultivating on her own.

She was astonished, to say the least.

[Kshn: I’m astonished too!]

Thus, she thought of being Gu Changge’s sandbag… however, she was beaten until her butt ached. Gu Changge was ruthless, his hands showing no mercy as each slap was packed full of pain.

However, Gu Changge appeared to have grown bored with Gu Xian’er. Eventually, he simply ignored her provocations.

No matter how much Gu Xian’er provoked him, he remained indifferent and never showed up.

This made Gu Xian’er very uncomfortable and frustrated.

Gu Changge’s attitude towards her was getting colder and colder.

The more it changed, the more Gu Xian’er intended to provoke him.

However, these days, her status has also changed beyond recognition.

So much so that many young and powerful people have come to find her with the intention of becoming her followers.

She was used to cultivating alone, so for her to suddenly gain so many followers…

It was still a bit difficult to believe, let alone adapt to.

However, some of these followers had actually come for Gu Changge, wanting to take advantage of her identity and meet him.

There were also some who were planning to play nice with her and get closer. But, from time to time, they would inquire about various things regarding Gu Changge.

Such pretentious behavior made Gu Xian’er extremely annoyed and irritated.

Even the many daughters of heaven[1] without taking look at themselves in a mirror, dared to shamelessly inquire about Gu Changge’s affairs?

Although she didn’t say it out loud, she was obviously unhappy.

Gu Xian’er was also aware that all these changes were brought about by the day when Gu Changge revealed everything in front of everyone, the day when he had acknowledged her status as a descendant of the Gu Family in front of the entire Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace.

Prior to that, she was just an unknown little girl. And when people mentioned her, they instantly thought of the brilliant Gu Changge.

But now, there were many who remembered that the distance Gu Xian’er had traveled on the Road of Heavenly Dao was – in fact – not much worse than Gu Changge.

This meant her talent was no less than Gu Changge.

Not only that, but she cultivated without her Dao Bones, a painstaking endeavor.

Such determination and perseverance was worthy of the admiration from all cultivators.

However, Gu Changge’s radiance inevitably overshadowed Gu Xian’er.

On the contrary, Gu Changge, who openly admitted his past mistakes, grew even more radiant than before. His reputation has once again soared to new heights.

If Gu Xian’er knew what the word “propaganda” was, she would definitely be spitting curses at Gu Changge.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

‘The Sea King Palace and the Ancient Immortal Continent, it’s about time to wrap it all up…’

‘Coincidentally, this came at a great time.’

Sensing something, Gu Changge, who was writing a letter in the palace, couldn’t help but show a peculiar smile.

A silver glint flashed across his eyes, as visions of the Ancient Immortal Continent flashed by.

The vast land of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan was brimming with prosperity.

It was almost as if Gu Changge’s arrival that day was only a nightmare; it had no effect on them whatsoever.

In the beginning, the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan thought that Gu Changge would send them to slaughter the other Ancient Immortal Clans, to fight for resources and territory for him so that he may further expand his influence.

However, Gu Changge did nothing of the sort, nor did he reveal anything about himself. He simply remained in the shadows.

This puzzled the entire Black Heavenly Eagle Clan, but at the same time, their minds were put at ease. They already had the slave seal in their bodies, so to submit to yet another master wasn’t so unacceptable.

Furthermore, he was a hands-off owner who didn’t do anything to them.

Such good results naturally made them happy and they slowly stopped caring about Gu Changge’s control over them.

‘Thinking that everything is fine… what’s the point in keeping them if I don’t eventually use them?’

Gu Changge, knowing their thoughts, couldn’t help but smirk.

It was simply not the time to use them yet.

The Black Heavenly Eagle Clan, as his servants, remained in the Ancient Immortal Continent. No one had discovered even the slightest abnormality.

After all, as an extremely famous and powerful clan within the Ancient Immortal Continent, the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan’s heritage was still extremely terrifying.

The Tiangou Clan, which had already been eradicated, was also nowhere near comparable.

Without the Immortal Binding Art, it would have been quite difficult for Gu Changge to take control of this clan.

During this period of time, he laid down a huge terrifying net that was spreading rapidly.

In just half a month, it had already engulfed all kinds of creatures, its range growing to an extremely terrifying degree.

The primary reason for this was that the Immortal Binding Art had not been exposed.

The strength of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan was growing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, overtaking the rest of the clans.

Soon, the other clans such as the Ancient Serpent and Divine Crocodile took notice. Naturally, they were quite greedy when they found out.

In their eyes, the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan had definitely obtained many good things.

The Black Heavenly Eagle Clan was not aware that the means Gu Changge used to control them was the Immortal Binding Art, which they had regarded as an Ancient Technique.

They always thought of it as the effect of the slave seal.

The Ancient Serpent and the Divine Crocodile Clans had also been put under the slave seal by the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation, so how could they possibly escape from Gu Changge’s control?

So in the eyes of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan, these two groups were in the same boat as them, like fish on a cutting board.

Naturally, there was little caution against the two groups.

During this time, the pawn Hei Ming, was “kind” enough to quietly pass on the technique to the rest of his friends, with the intention of spreading it around.

By doing so, the string left by Gu Changge, spread quickly.

Gu Changge himself didn’t expect that the chess piece he laid down so casually would bring him such huge benefits later on.

Afterwards, Gu Changge’s figure shifted, stepping into the void. He was planning on going to the Ancient Immortal Continent for the climax.

Since the Ancient Serpent and Divine Crocodile Clans so desperately wanted the Immortal Binding “Technique” of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan…

Gu Changge would naturally come to the rescue and fulfill their wishes.

This part of Gu Changge’s plan was actually quite simple. He only needed to arrange a few “coincidences” to make it happen.

Once that’s done, he need only wait in the shadows for a bit.

And so he waited, half a month passed at the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace. The time for the arrangement had finally come.

And as for what needs to be done?

That was a simple matter too.

For instance, one of the Black Heavenly Eagle clansmen happened to get “drunk” while drinking and chit-chatting with his friend.

He “accidentally” spilled the truth, revealing the deepest secret of their clan as of late, the mysterious technique suspected of being an Ancient Technique!

Coincidentally, the experts of the Ancient Serpent and Divine Crocodile Clans were passing by and happened to overhear this “confidential” information.

With all these accidents and coincidences brought together, it was only inevitable… The secrets of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan were finally uncovered by the Ancient Serpent and Divine Crocodile Clans.

The Ancient Technique they coveted could be pried out from the mouth of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan!

Therefore, the two clans took the risk of capturing a Black Heavenly Eagle clan member, using various means to question him and reveal the truth.

Coincidentally, this member was unable to bear the torture, finally revealing the Ancient Technique.

[PR/N: If I have to write “coincidence” one more time…]

The Ancient Technique was extremely precious, so naturally, the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan would put a seal in the mind of the clan members.

Thus, another coincidence was needed to ensure this seal was not triggered.

[PR/N: *rages*]

Although how it came to be was strange, it was enough to dispel the worries of the Ancient Serpent and Divine Crocodile Clans.

Their good fortune only meant that they were fated to obtain the Ancient Technique!

How could they possibly give up an Ancient Technique when it’s right in front of their eyes?

With this series of schemes, Gu Changge was able to spread the Immortal Binding Art to those two clans and take control of their life and death with little effort.

By using the Immortal Binding Art, he didn’t have to leave the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace by even half a step these days. He simply controlled the entire situation from millions of miles away.

And to think that this all came to be by controlling a single member of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan…

The Immortal Binding Art is poisonous. Once it touches a cultivator or creature, they will get infected, enjoying a cultivation speed many times faster than the norm. Some would even reach enlightenment.

Naturally, they couldn’t give it up.

The time for Gu Changge to use these pawns had come.

‘The Great Elder went to the True Dragon Clan, so they’ll be preoccupied for a while. They won’t submit easily, and there’s even a chance that they’ll unite the rest of the clans in order to subjugate the various Daoist lineages that descended on the Ancient Immortal Continent.’

’This counterattack, truly does carry a sense of loneliness…’

Gu Changge’s figure soon disappeared into the void.

He had been manipulating the Ancient Immortal Races, and the appearance of the Great Elder was only the first step of his plan, the opening act one might say.

These days, the Ancient Immortal Continent was anything but quiet, as many of the Ancient Freaks rushed to the Immortal Road in search of Fairy Spirit. Earth-shattering battles broke out, sending waves in all directions.

They wouldn’t be deterred so easily.

During this period of time, the Ancient Immortal Races were oppressed, and they didn’t dare to fight back without the leadership of the True Dragon Clan.

This moment was the perfect opportunity for Gu Changge to take advantage of the fire and pillage.

[A magnificent Golden Hall, Black Heavenly Eagle Clan]

Hei Ming was in the midst of cultivating, his black wings looked so large that they seemed to cover the sky.

This pair of wings showed his current strength and status.

To say he was happy wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

However, his heart suddenly stirred, as he sensed the aura of the Supreme Being, something he had been missing for a long time!

He was ecstatic.

‘Could it be that the Supreme Being is about to descend again?’

Hei Ming’s heart was elated.

— — —

[Ancient Serpent Clan’s territory]

“It really is an Ancient Technique! The bottleneck that I haven’t been able to break through for so long is actually loosening up…”

A very old man of the ancient generation couldn’t help but reveal a wide smile, full of excitement and joy.

Similar scenes also occurred in the Divine Crocodile Clan.

By “coincidence”, they managed to successfully interrogate a Black Heavenly Eagle Clansman. After letting their own clans practice this Ancient Technique, they immediately reaped its benefits.

It was no wonder that the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan’s strength had recently improved by leaps and bounds, something that had left them a great distance behind.

Now that the immortal scripture was in their hands, would they still be afraid of not being able to catch up?

[Deep within the Ancient Immortal Continent]

Divine light surged, immortal rays rushing to the sky.

In the middle of Dragon Island, many members of the True Dragon Clan were kneeling on the ground, frenzied, shouting wildly, and worshipping the terrifying phantom high in the sky.

A magnificent ancient statue was emitting a dazzling light as they prayed.

Dao runes, radiant and blinding, floating in the void, shone brilliantly.

A vague yet unparalleled and mighty figure revealed itself, its mere presence affecting the rules of heaven and earth, causing time to reverse and space to crumble.

This was an inexpressible figure beyond words, the mere act of standing still was enough to show its unrivalled and tyrannical aura!

He had the horns of a dragon, his arms densely covered with dragon scales. And as he slowly awakened, his eyes glowed with a golden light.

“Old friend, do you intend to break the agreement we made all those years ago?”

He was surrounded by a dense ashy mist, yet his aura retained its terrifying might.

In the area surrounding Dragon Island, numerous powerful figures from various clans and Daoist Sects gathered.

They all had different expressions, schemers with gleaming eyes, while others merely swept across, planning to fish in the muddy waters.

“Today’s matter appears to be unavoidable.”

The Great Elder said with a calm face. His aura was calm but carried enough might to overwhelm the whole world.

“Back then, you promised to protect my clan. However, it seems as though the passage of time has eroded the value of your word.”

The vague figure was furious; his eyes held a chilling gaze.

He wasn’t the True Dragon of the past, merely one of the few descendants of the True Dragon. Besides, the True Spirit of the True Dragon’s descendants was not a physical entity.

That’s precisely why he was hesitant; he might not be the Great Elder’s match.

“Is there no room for negotiation?” The vague figure asked. Until now, he’d never once considered fighting the Great Elder, fully aware of the old man’s prowess.

“No, I have already given my word to a junior. The True Dragon Clan must submit to him now, in accordance with his plan.” He was aware of what Gu Changge had done that day, so he would certainly keep his promise.

The Great Elder’s words caused many of the surrounding creatures and cultivators to be shocked, leaving them in a state of disbelief.

At first, they were all puzzled by the appearance of the Great Elder. This only doubled when they discovered his intent to oppress the Ancient Immortal Races, leaving many of the strongest Ancient Immortal Races perplexed. This caught them by surprise, and – even now – they found it difficult to accept this turn of events.

At that moment, when they heard these words, they all understood.

The junior mentioned by the Great Elder should be none other than Gu Changge!

For Gu Changge to have coerced even the Great Elder, someone who had always protected the Ancient Immortal Races, to such an extent was so astonishing that they were left dumbfounded.

[PR/N: This author loves his shock factor.]

The ancient and long-standing True Dragon Clan was now being cornered to such an extent.

If the Great Elder didn’t say it himself, who would’ve believed it?

‘But how on earth did Gu Changge manage to do it?’

‘He is simply too terrifying, simply unlike any other young man at all!’

Many people couldn’t help but shiver in their hearts.

“The same junior who killed my clan’s descendent?” The vague figure coldly snorted; he was clearly aware of this matter as well.

“Irrelevant.” The Great Elder said indifferently.

Then, he struck out with killing intent, moving forward with a single palm.

Though his palm was initially only the size of a millstone, it quickly expanded. Billions of divine lights flashed, like a river of stars falling, as though heaven and earth were collapsing and rapidly descending in his opponent’s direction!

Boom!

“Come and fight!”

“Even if we are not from the same generation, this Emperor[2] is invincible within the same realm!”

[2: He talks about himself as Emperor because he rules the True Dragon Clan which rules every other Clan.]

As he spoke, the vague figure’s aura grew even more frightening. The sky was filled with divine clouds, forming a red haze that pierced through the heavens.

He stepped forward, carrying the Dao of ten thousand men in his body, like the lord of heaven and earth, dominating the eight directions.

Without any hesitation, he directly used his strongest technique.

All the creatures and cultivators, with frightened expressions, retreated one after another. However, there were still many who, unfortunately, burst into bits and pieces under the palm. They were reduced to dust, as both their bodies and souls perished!

Another tremendous battle had broken out. Regardless of its outcome, the Ancient Immortal Continent will surely descend into chaos once more!

— — —

On the way to the Ancient Immortal Continent, Gu Changge was carefully thinking about his next plan.

The Favored Son of Heaven, Ye Ling, had been taken care of. Going by his prior experiences, he simply assumed that a new one would appear for him to harvest.

After all, the Favored Sons of Heaven keep pouring in like water. However, this supposedly “ironclad” assumption wasn’t as correct as he thought.

Given that he has received no prompt from the system, this could only mean that he has yet to be approached by a Favored Son of Heaven.

Therefore, it was up to Gu Changge to take the initiative and seek them out.

But how many people with great fortune exist in the vast and boundless Upper Realm? Among these people with great fortune, how many of them can be considered a Favored Son of Heaven?

The number was simply too large, which in Gu Changge’s eyes, were all leeks waiting to be harvested.

Not only that but there were hundreds of millions of people with a great fortune in the Lower Realm.

How many of them can he face?

‘Perhaps I can rely on the almighty Destiny Points, to establish a mysterious kingdom, like a certain temple that I knew in my previous life. Otherwise, I’d have to personally harvest these leeks myself. Who knows how long that would take?’

Gu Changge thought about it seriously once more.

His strength alone was ultimately limited, while the leeks waiting for him to harvest were unlimited.

Besides, he didn’t feel like doing it himself. He not only has to go through the trouble of refining a “doppelganger” of sorts, but he also has to go to the Lower Realms to search for people with great fortune.

‘Too troublesome, and the timeline is vague.’

The Black Heavenly Eagle Clan’s Hei Ming gave Gu Changge a good idea.

If he can pretend to be a Supreme Being, then why not expand his boundaries and pretend to be Almighty God Himself?

Being both the Supreme Being and Almighty God didn’t seem to be a problem.

‘The Chosen One sounds too clichéd. In the future, I should call my leeks the Heavenly Destined, a grander title.’

‘The Heavenly Destined shall serve me and plunder the fortune of those in the Lower Realms.’

[Kshn: He is talking about how Hei Ming thought he was a Chosen One, the people he’ll scam like this now will be called Heavenly Destined.]

Gu Changge nodded.

After all, he had the world seed. With his guidance, it will gradually grow to become even wider and even more magnificent than before.

In ancient times, the Jade Emperor had a residence similar to this.

Four heavenly gates stood in the four directions East, West, North and South, grandiose and towering.

Each of the heavenly gates was magnificent, boundless and could support the four corners of heaven and earth.

After all, it needed to be full of flair. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to trick the leeks into coming.

Gu Changge’s intention was simple: gather leeks to determine how to harvest the fortune of other leeks.

Once he gathers enough Destiny Points, Gu Changge will exchange them in the system.

For example: The system usually sells techniques around the 5,000 Destiny Point mark. With this scheme, he can pay for it even if it’s ten or a hundred times higher than its normal price!

And so on.

However, with Gu Changge’s current number of Destiny Points, this seemed highly improbable.

These are just his plans for the future, whether he can reach that point or not remains to be seen. After all, his goal wasn’t limited to the Immeasurable Heavens, let alone the Upper Realm. No, he wanted all the Heavenly Realms.

And for that goal, he urgently needed a large number of Destiny Points.

‘Perhaps I should keep an eye on Mingkong’s movements. In addition to all the effort I’ve spent on her, I’ve also made several moves on my end,, there’s no way she wouldn’t notice…’

Gu Changge understood this matter very thoroughly.

If Yue Mingkong still had murderous intent for him even now, it would simply be too abnormal.

Thus, Yue Mingkong probably felt quite guilty.

And in Gu Changge’s opinion, Yue Mingkong’s movements may lead to the discovery of the next Favored Son of Heaven.

He hoped that this Favored Son of Heaven would provide him with a great number of Fortune Value and Destiny Points.

If not, it would be difficult to carry out all his current plans.
