I Am The Fated Villain
Chapter 73: Abandoned by the World; Peach Demon of the Forsaken Land!

Gu Changge's ideas were not very sophisticated. The most important thing for him right now was to find out the whereabouts of his current cousin, and also make some preparations beforehand. After all, there was a high chance that his cousin was supported by a mighty master, and the other people from the Gu Family were also involved.

For now, he could only command and mobilize some strength from his own bloodline. As for the other bloodlines? He reckoned that they would only submit to him once he became the Patriarch of the Ancient Eternal Gu Family. Moreover, using another lineage to figure out the whereabouts of his cousin would only result in more losses than gains, and subsequent plans would also be affected.

Gu Changge pondered for a moment, then called out to his retainer who was outside his residence.

"A'Da."

"A'Da on your orders, Young Master!"

A strong man dressed in black stepped in with a respectful expression. From his appearance, one could tell that he was not a human, light blue scales were seen covering his arms. A'Da had the blood of the Eternal Dragon Clan flowing profusely in his veins, and the Gu Family had raised him since his birth. Unlike the other foreign followers of the Family, he could enter and leave the Inner and Outer Regions at will.

He was currently in the False God Realm, and could be considered one of Gu Changge's confidants.

"Give this letter to Old Ming and tell him to investigate the matter written inside for me ..."

Gu Changge ordered. As soon as his words fell, a letter written with Spiritual Sense fell into A'Da's hands.

Old Ming was a God King who could be considered a mighty figure even in the Upper Realm, so it would be easier for him if he investigated the matter. Before he went to the Lower Realm, Gu Changge had always instructed A'Da to deal with his matters, but now that he had a powerful God King, things had become easier for him.

"Understand me, Young Master!"

A'Da received his order to leave, and immediately went to the Outer Region to find Old Ming.

The Gu family was a giant with a territory wider than one's imagination. To go from the Inner Region to the Outer Region, one would have to travel through various Teleportation Formations. If one were to accidentally rush into the territory of the Gu Family, they could easily get lost and spend the rest of their lives searching for a way out.

Of course, if the murderous beasts that roamed the entire territory of the Gu Family did not tear apart that person first.

As soon as A'Da left, Gu Changge summoned his Attribute Panel — he did not much to increase his cultivation after returning to the Upper Realm.

His Luck value had risen to two thousand Points without him noticing, and it was not a small increase.

Of course, with two thousand Fortune Value Points in his hands, Gu Changge wondered if he should break through to the Conferred King Realm immediately? After his cultivation rose to the Conferred King Realm, a sublime change would appear on his body, and his combat power would surge to an entirely new level.

It was just that the Value of Luck was something subtle, and he had no idea what the consequences would be. Back when his Luck Value was close to zero, nothing happened to him — was not good, nor was it bad. After thinking about it for a while, Gu Changge guessed it might be because of his Dark Luck.

'System! Since Dark Fortune does not exist in the seven normal levels of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and Purple, could it be an anomaly? What would happen if I lost all of my Fortune Value?'

Gu Changge asked in his mind.

Upon hearing his question, the System replied, [Home master, you don't have to worry about this matter. The Concept of Value of Luck is a System method for calculating rewards and punishments because actual Luck is illusory and cannot be truly measured. It is converted into this easy to understand value so that you can understand it easily.]

After all, Gu Changge was a transmigrant with a different thought process than the natives of this world, so he could easily understand the concepts of values and numbers.

[Since Hosts are anomalies, the world has long given up on you. In fact, even if all of your Luck Value is lost, it will not affect you in any way. Host, you must have noticed that no matter how much Luck Value you have, it has no effect on your daily life, the opportunities you can encounter, and such.]

[Even if you have the opportunity to find a great Fortuitous Encounter and/or Legacy, you will not be able to increase your Luck Value. The only way you can gain the Value of Luck is by conquering those blessed with great Luck, or by killing Preferred Heavenly Children.].

The system immediately wiped out much of Gu Changge's hesitation with his explanation, so Gu Changge could only nod in response.

It was no wonder that even though his Fortune Value had reached a much higher level than the one Ye Chen had started, he still had not found a Heavenly Treasure or Opportunity falling into his lap out of nowhere. He could never have imagined that the world would give up on him like this!

So this is the treatment provided to the criminals! If the villains wanted the Chance of Coincidence, they would have to go to the Preferred Heavenly Children.

Of course, Gu Changge would rather pick ripe fruit than look for opportunities in every nook and cranny of the world. Finding scallions to harvest is the best chance.

'So the Value of Luck is nothing more than the reserve of Destiny Points for me? Because of the Fortune Value I obtained myself, it has an exchange ratio of 10 Destiny Points to 1 Fortune Value Point?'

Gu Changge was shocked by this realization. His two thousand Fortune Value Points were like two thousand gold bricks that he could exchange for wealth at any time. His true luck was an anomaly that the System could not measure or display.

He felt relieved after the explanation of this System.

'Exchange 1000 Luck Value Points with Destiny Points!'

Gu Changge no longer hesitated after realizing everything, and immediately exchanged a thousand points of his Fortune Value.

[Dig! Exchange succeeded! Host, congratulations on receiving ten thousand Fate Points.]

The System Prompt sounded in his mind, and he immediately saw fourteen thousand Fate Points in his Attribute Panel.

"System, pick me up!" (add points to my cultivation)

[Humbling!]

Gu Changge felt a strange energy sweep over his body right after he uttered his command. The brilliant rays of the Great Dao gushed out from his limbs and bones, and his Dao Bone let out a terrifying hum and an incredible brilliance spread around him. His Demonic heart was immediately restrained, and did not peek in the slightest.

At the same time, the floodgates of the eighth layer of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Codex broke out in Gu Changge's mind, and various insights and understandings of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Codex merged with his memories.

[explosion!]

Gu Changge heard a rumble within his body, as if a surging river had knocked down a dam. A large amount of Spiritual Qi flowed through his meridians into his Dantian, and his cultivation broke through the Conferred King Realm!

'I still have six thousand Destiny Points left.'

Gu Changge thought in his mind. At the same time, a hazy figure resembling the incarnation of the Great Dao itself slowly appeared behind him, and released a terrifying aura. The Great Dao hymn reverberated around him, and brilliant runes intertwined around him, giving him the aura of an ancient and majestic god who looked down on the world.

This is the power contained in the Dao Bone that he took from his cousin — it is the Incarnation of the Dao that can suppress everything and anything that is in its path. For a Young Supreme like Gu Changge, it could be considered his strongest trump card.

'As soon as I broke through to the Conferred King Realm, my strength increased by leaps and bounds, and the feeling I got now was completely different in quality when compared to the feeling of the Conferred King Realm.'

'This feeling .. ck, ck ...'

Gu Changge clenched his fists, and the Incarnation of the Great Dao behind him imitated his actions. At the same time, Gu Changge felt as if he was a mighty ruler who could carry the Heavenly Punishment to eliminate his enemies!

This was a power that originally belonged to his cousin, and Gu Changge was very clear about this. After all, the talents and abilities of others would never truly belong to him. He had to find a way to deal with the problems inherent in Dao Bone as it was now. He had to devour it using the Eternal-Eating Demon Art, or he had to replace it with another Bone or something from the System.[1]

[1: since the Dao Bone is not his since birth, he will inherently try to reject his body — like transplanted organ — and it might cause great harm to him in the long run. The talents and types received from the System usually have no such restrictions.]

But not yet. For now, Bone Dao could help him achieve some of his goals other than granting him divine power.

Immediately, Gu Changge took a look at the System Shop. After all, he still had six thousand Fate Points in his wallet, and even a thousand Fortune Values in his reserves. With such a huge fortune, he would be foolish if he did not find a way to increase his strength and trump card as soon as possible.

Although the Ancient Immortal Gu Family had many treasures in their stash, Gu Changge felt that their catalogue could not compare to the System's bidding. Specially? He needed to contribute to the Family before he could take anything from them. Even though he is the Young Master of the Family, it does not mean he can take anything and anytime — his status only allows him to choose before the others. (dib first)

Moreover, he had already mastered the most powerful treasure of the Gu Family which was suitable for his current cultivation base.

In the end, Gu Changge chose Mystic Abilities.

[Unbounded Eternal Wisdom], worth five thousand Fate Points.

He already had the [Incredible God Spirit Temple], which brought him to the top among his peers in terms of attaining the power of the Primordial Spirit. Now that he had another powerful Mystical Ability to cultivate his Primordial Spirit, the two would complement each other and increase his strength to the next level.

'Exchange!'

Gu Changge immediately exchanged them, and the records of [Unlimited Immortal Wisdom] surged into his mind. At the same time, he consumed some of his Fate Points…

[Humbling!]

In the end, the incarnation of Gu Changge [Inborn God Spirit Temple] [2] rushed out from between his eyebrows, and turned into a majestic Immortal Sword that appeared in his hand. The sword shone with a dazzling light, and released a murderous aura around it. It was as if it could break through thousands of worlds in the Universe!

It was the ultimate soul-killing weapon!

[2: the man who sat inside the Temple and showed himself in Manhua when he killed the Devil sent by Lin Trash.]

……

Many people in the Inner Region of the Ancient Eternal Gu Family felt his aura surge as Gu Changge broke through to the Conferred King Realm. Although there was a Formation to stop peering from the outside, they could not stop the oppressive might that erupted from his body like a thunderous wave of Great Dao intent. It was a fundamental change in his existence that could not be hidden from the world around him.

"Changge invited all the Family Elders to the Main Peak for a meeting!"

Following which, Gu Changge's voice echoed in the sky above all the peaks of every lineage living in the Ancient Eternal Gu Family's Inner Region, and attracted everyone's attention. The busy — Family Elders in their own palace and pages — inevitably frowned.

'Gu Changge, what are your intentions? Don't tell me you can't resist your desire for the position of Patriarch after making a breakthrough in your cultivation just now?'

Someone shook his head.

'What did Young Master do? How could he invite all the Elders to meet him like this?'

Many were shocked by his sudden words.

'Could it be about the position of the future Patriarch?'

Others cannot help guess.

……

[In a very remote part of the currently Abandoned Land of Gods.]

Endless mountains covered in a wild atmosphere could be seen rising and descending everywhere. The chaotic fog surrounded everything, and gave the place a very unpleasant look. The terrifying aura of a ferocious beast surged towards Heaven.

However, if one looked past all of that, they would be shocked and wonder in admiration.

There was a small village that seemed to have come out of a fairytale in this remote and wild land!

The population of the village did not seem to be large, with less than a thousand people living there, but those who lived there were not simple.

At the same time, a magnificent peach tree stood at the entrance of the village. Colorful and glowing peach blossoms bloomed on the tree, and all kinds of Dao Truth circulated around it. It was as if the tree had been standing rooted in its place since the beginning of time, and even chaos was unable to move it from its place.

“Saudari Tao Yao [3], I will leave this place ...”

A young girl in blue whispered to the peach tree...

[3: Peach Witch/Devil/Devil in literal translation, but Sister Peach Witch doesn't sound as good as Sister Tao Yao. Wait, the Peach Witch isn't really that bad.]
