Summary
Highlights
Gu Changge, initially confused about his role, realizes he's a villain in a cultivation world. He's tasked with humiliating the Son of Destiny, Ye Chen, to gain Destiny Points and improve his cultivation. He immediately asserts dominance over Ye Chen and begins manipulating Su Qingge, who was betrothed to him by the Great Xuan Holy Land.
Gu Changge easily defeats Ye Chen, who is significantly weaker. He refuses Ye Chen's challenge for a three-year decisive battle, highlighting Ye Chen's naive expectations and self-centeredness. This humiliation damages Ye Chen's mental state and reduces his luck, increasing Gu Changge's Destiny Points. Gu Changge then secretly uses these points to rapidly increase his cultivation to the King realm, while publicly maintaining the appearance of being at the peak of the Marquis realm.
Ye Chen, desperate for revenge, attempts to use a Realm-Breaking Pill to rapidly catch up to Gu Changge, much to his master's chagrin. Gu Changge, aware of Ye Chen's master being a remnant soul, strategically attempts to sow discord by offering her a Spirit Gathering Pill, implying an alliance. This further isolates Ye Chen, who grows furious and increasingly irrational, even proposing to destroy the Great Xuan Holy Land that once supported him.
The Yangxu Holy Land, incited by Ye Chen, prepares to attack the Tai Xuan Holy Land. Gu Changge uses this opportunity to announce his true power, revealing his King Realm cultivation. He easily dispatches the attacking forces, forcing them to surrender and pledge allegiance, showcasing his overwhelming strength and solidifying his position.
Ye Chen attempts to escape with Su Qingge, but she rejects him, revealing her calculated decision to side with Gu Changge, further diminishing Ye Chen's luck. Meanwhile, a new 'Son of Destiny,' Lin Tian, emerges in Central Continent. Gu Changge quickly identifies Lin Tian as another target for harvesting destiny points, noting his connection to Elder Ming's family.
Lin Tian, a reincarnated God King, initially underestimates Gu Changge and attempts to kill him using a demonic projection. Gu Changge easily counters this and reveals his practice of the 'Immortal Demon Devouring Art.' This encounter severely damages Lin Tian's lifespan and destiny. Recognizing Gu Changge's terrifying power, Lin Tian fakes his death to escape, but Gu Changge, aware of his deception, subtly manipulates the Lin family to secure Lin Tian's eventual doom.
Gu Changge fully wins over Lin Qiuhan, who possesses a unique alchemy talent, further adding to his growing influence and power. He then identifies Ye Chen's sworn brother among a group of prodigies, using a veiled threat to elicit information about Ye Chen's whereabouts and causing conflict.
Gu Changge confronts Holy Son Jialou, Ye Chen's sworn brother. Jialou's protector reveals their connection to Ye Chen. Angered by their defiance and association with Ye Chen, Gu Changge orders Elder Ming to annihilate the Garuda Holy Land within an hour, demonstrating his ruthless authority and solidifying his terrifying reputation across the Central Plains.
The annihilation of the Garuda Holy Land spreads fear and resentment towards Ye Chen. Desperate, Ye Chen learns of the Primordial Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm and the Eight Desolations Demonic Halberd within, believing it holds his key to ultimate power and revenge. He also begins to manipulate the Ancient Divine Mountain into confronting Gu Changge.
Gu Changge achieves the Void God Realm. Meanwhile, Ye Liuli, Ye Chen's powerful cousin from the Ancient Divine Mountain, arrives to confront Gu Changge. Aunt Xue, Liuli's protector, recognizes Gu Changge's incredible background and advises caution. Gu Changge skillfully plays on their arrogance and background, revealing himself to be from the formidable Immortal Gu Family, causing the Ancient Divine Mountain to reluctantly back down and Ye Liuli to start questioning Ye Chen.
The Ancient Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, containing the Eight Desolations Demonic Halberd and a Supreme Expert's inheritance, is about to open. Gu Changge, having prepared meticulously and gained insights into the realm, plans to use Ye Chen as a 'pawn' to clear a path. Ye Chen, oblivious to this, convinces his Dragon Slaying Bureau alliance to follow him into the dangerous realm, believing he has the upper hand.
Inside the secret realm, Gu Changge and his retinue leisurely follow the path painstakingly cleared by Ye Chen and his allies, who confront numerous dangers and servants. Gu Changge, showcasing his strategic brilliance, intends to simply walk in and claim the spoils after Ye Chen has done all the hard work.
Ye Chen reaches the core of the secret realm, anticipating the inheritance. Ye Liuli, meanwhile, is left to battle powerful 'King-rank' servants. Gu Changge arrives, revealing he has been following their path all along. He then exposes Yan Ji, Ye Chen's master, as a conspirator who betrayed Ye Chen to Gu Changge. The confrontation culminates in Gu Changge seizing the Eight Desolations Demonic Halberd, while Ye Chen is brutally defeated and captured, his destiny completely drained.
Ye Liuli, witnessing Ye Chen's demise, attempts to save him by offering herself in exchange for his life. Gu Changge agrees but implants a powerful 'Demonic Seed Bottle' slave seal in her, making her his permanent servant. He then coldly executes Ye Chen, revealing that his oath not to 'kill' him was a semantic loophole, as he merely 'eradicated' him. Gu Changge then confronts the realm's protective spirit, obtains the Eight Desolations Demonic Halberd, and prepares to face the great sects from the Upper Realm, proclaiming his invincibility.
