I Am The Fated Villain
Chapter 14: The Purpose of Descendants; Bias Against Young Master Gu?
"My master, even though your appearance today is perfect, this old slave still cannot understand anything!"
After Gu Changge left the prison, Old Ming emerged from thin air and showed his doubts. He could not help but find Gu Changge to be even more terrifying and unfathomable than before.
That's a good thing.
After all, the stronger his Young Master grew, the higher his chance of fully taking over his family and leading them to greater glory.
What he could not understand was why his Young Master would not kill Ye Chen even though he could see how much he wanted to do so. With the strength of the Young Master of the Conferred God Realm at his age, only the descendants from the Sect, Orthodoxy, and other supreme Clans could rival him even in the Upper Realm.
To him, killing someone like Ye Chen, who was a nobody in the remote Eastern Desolate, was nothing more than a weak slap. So why would he bother playing these games where he slowly took everything from that Ye Chen?
"Oh, what can't you understand?"
Gu Changge was in an excited mood and decided to answer Old Ming's question. Today, not only did he create a rift between Ye Chen and his Master, but he also accumulated a lot of Luck Points.
Cutting the leak feels amazing, indeed!
The day he finally stomped Ye Chen to death was nowhere to be seen that far now.
"This old slave couldn't understand why the Young Master wouldn't kill that Ye Chen directly? It'll save you all this hassle."
Old Ming raised his doubts. After all, he could not see the existence of something as illusory as Fortune Value. To him, there was nothing about Ye Chen that would make him look like a Favoured Heavenly Son.
……
If Gu Changge were to explain it in the simplest terms, then it would be like this: Unless he spent all of his Luck Values like cheats around Ye Chen, then it would be like this, it was impossible for him to kill him. If he got away with even a bit of that Fortune Value, Ye Chen would be able to bounce back upwards one way or another, and fight him in the future.'
That was how to solve this game of Luck of Preferred Heavenly Children. But, clearly, Gu Changge could not explain the above to Old Ming. Even if he were to explain it, Old Ming would not be able to understand the intricacies of the matter.
……
"Ye Chen will die, but not now. I still need it to give me a chance meeting!"
Knowing that he could not explain the intricacies, Gu Changge decided to focus on turning Old Ming's mind to something he could understand with a smile full of intrigue.
There was not much he needed to hide from this loyal old slave.
From his Original recollection, he could tell that the True One had descended to the Lower Realm because of the peerless Heavenly treasures that would soon appear in the world.
"[Eight Desolate Demon Halberd]!"
It was said to be a weapon used by the "Eight Desolate Demon Gods" during the Primordial Era. With great killing intent and a never-ending reserve of strength, the Eight Secluded Demon Lords were said to be on the verge of slaughtering his way to Heaven.
Then, for unknown reasons, it disappeared along the river of time.
The original Gu Changge had a Demon Heart inherited from a terrifying and cruel being in the Upper Realm. The news of [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd] was recorded in the inheritance he received, and it was said that it was most likely somewhere in the Lower Realm.
It is for this reason that the Original uses reason to gain experience, and descend into the Lower Realm.
On the surface, his trip to the Lower Realm was just a tour to enhance his life experience, but in reality, he had come down to look for the [Eight Halberd Demon Desolate]!
Of course, judging from his place in the story as the villain of the cannon fodder gang, there was no way he would get anything as good as the mighty Halberd.
If Gu Changge's guess was not too far from reality, then the plot would develop further like this: 'Ye Chen would find himself in a desperate situation and escape to the ruins by sheer coincidence. Down there, he would receive the approval of the Death Guards, and make great progress in his cultivation. After that, he would get the approval of Halberd as well, and reverse the situation!'
If Gu Changge did not place his cards properly, then he would probably lose his life in the Lower Realm. Or maybe also he would escape back to the Upper Realm — on the brink of death, of course — and forge a life and death feud with this Ye Chen.
……
No one was more familiar with Gu Changge in terms of the development of such a plot; he was like a God with an omnipotent perspective as he calculated everything that might happen in the future. And once he analyzed all the possibilities, it was basically impossible for him to come out as a loser in the end.
Sure enough, reading all the web novels on that day was not in vain at all. The author of this dog would not be able to trick him to death.
"It turns out the Young Master has already made arrangements!"
Old Ming could not help but admire Gu Changge even more after he heard his explanation and consideration. His Young Master is indeed worthy of the title of Child-God!
"Observe Ye Chen, and watch his whereabouts at all times. I hope some trouble will come knocking on the Taixuan Holy Land at any time now."
Gu Changge ordered the Old Ming with a strange light that flashed across his eyes.
They had imprisoned the Loved Heavenly Son in poor condition for three days, so there must be something bad coming to the Taixuan Holy Land, right? Fortune Backlash, or whatever, should come into effect at any time now.
That was what Gu Changge wanted to know.
……
[Into the Underground Prison.]
"This is truly the [Eternal Spirit Gatherer Pill] ..."
Yan Ji muttered to himself.
Her red pupils could not hide her shock as she looked down at the pill wrapped in lavender Qi. There was no way he had mistaken this pill, and it was because of this that he was completely shocked.
One had to accept that Gu Changge was indeed generous with his meeting gifts.
He never lacked this pill when he was at the peak of his strength, but now, Gu Changge gave him this pill was no different from someone who sent you charcoal on a snowy winter night.[^1]
Even in the Upper Realm, the [Eternal Spirit Gathering Pill] was an extremely precious treasure. The refining process was extremely troublesome, and the materials were hard to find. One should know that even in the Upper Realm, one rarely found these pills in just a few large auction houses.
As for refining the [Eternal Spirit Gathering Pill] in the poor Lower Realm? It was an impossible task.
The powerful effect of the pill to rebuild and stabilize the spirit made many mighty figures salivate for it. Because, in some situations, having an [Eternal Spirit Gathering Pill] could spell the difference between life and death.
No matter how powerful a person was, they would always have [Eternal Spirit Gathering Pill] on their person for desperate situations.
"Sir, what exactly is this pill ..."
Ye Chen's complexion could not help but change, and a bad premonition surfaced in his heart as he saw Yan Ji silently staring at the pill.
Are the pills valuable?
Gu Changge is indeed a cunning bastard!
Not only did he mess with his Master's mind using flowery words, but he also used precious pills to seduce his Master.
He had to slaughter that bastard!
Yan Ji had a complicated expression as he explained the rarity and prowess of the pill to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen could not help but clench his fists and grit his teeth in silence as he listened about the miracle of the [Eternal Spirit Gathering Pill].
[Eternal Spirit Gathering Pill] could be said to have more than just a powerful effect.it could be called a Heavenly Panacea, and it would not be excessive!
Specially? It could help Yan Ji stabilize his current condition and give him enough strength to refine the rest of his spirit!
"Sir, are you really going to use this pill?"
Ye Chen's eyes turned red, and he asked through gritted teeth in a hoarse voice. He could not bear such humiliation! It felt as if he was a beggar and Gu Changge had given him some alms.
But it was indeed a fact that this pill could help his Master suffer less from the rest of his broken spirit.
He was caught in a dilemma.
It could be said that he was stuck in a situation where he would be a loser no matter what choice he chose.
'Gu Chang! Good good good good! You are indeed a cunning bastard!'
'I will definitely kill you!'
'I HAVE TO KILL YOU!'
Ye Chen could not help but shout in his heart.
"After all, this is Young Master Gu's kindness, so ..."
Before he could finish his words, Yan Ji looked at Ye Chen's ugly expression and knew what was wrong.
"Little Chen, be honest with me: are you biased towards Young Master Gu?"
Ye Chen's eyes widened in disbelief as those words fell into his ears. His vision darkened and the world around him collapsed into rubble.
