A vision of destiny, a cruel future.

As Su Wu's voice enveloped the entire Three Saints Sect, everyone within the Sect, from Elders to Disciples, stopped what they were doing.

One of the two voices that had once descended upon the Three Saints Sect and let the entire Qianyuan Continent know how vast the world truly was had appeared once again.

The core of Yan Yu Cliff.

Uncle Meng and Li Jianping, who were still in the middle of their battle, stopped their movements the moment they heard Su Wu's voice.

"Impossible, impossible! Su Ming's parents clearly haven't appeared for over a decade, why now..." Li Jianping roared inwardly.

The longsword in his hand was trembling because the person holding it was currently shaking like a leaf.

The Sect Master of the Three Saints Sect, one of the strongest experts on the Qianyuan Continent, was now as terrified as a child who had made a mistake.

"Li Jianping, after hearing the Master's words, you can't even hold your sword steady?" Uncle Meng mocked. "Think carefully about what you've done all these years, and think about how you're going to give the Young Lord an explanation!"

Uncle Meng laughed boisterously and then left Yan Yu Cliff.

The moment Su Wu's voice appeared, all conflict lost its meaning.

Li Jianping did not stop Uncle Meng from leaving; his body was already filled with fear.

Just as Uncle Meng said, there was only one thing he needed to do now, and that was to give Su Ming an explanation.

Fortunately, his rationality hadn't been completely consumed by fear yet, and he immediately went to the Sect's Forbidden Ground.

In the vast Forbidden Ground of the Sect, there was surprisingly only a single stone tablet.

This stone tablet was called the three saints stone tablet, and it had only one purpose: to contact the Old Ancestor of the Three Saints Sect who had long since achieved Ascension and left the Qianyuan Continent.

According to the ancestral instructions left by the Old Ancestor, this stone tablet could only be activated when the Three Saints Sect or the Qianyuan Continent faced a catastrophe.

The last time this stone tablet was activated was precisely when Su Ming's parents descended.

And now, it would be activated once again because of Su Ming's parents.

He had to confirm whether Su Wu had truly descended to the Qianyuan Continent or if it was just a voice transmission.

As Li Jianping activated the stone tablet, he successfully established contact with the Old Ancestor.

"The uses of the three saints stone tablet I left behind are limited. Current Sect Master, tell me what has happened on the Qianyuan Continent. Is my Three Saints Sect facing a catastrophe?"

"Unworthy Disciple Li Jianping is here to inquire of the Old Ancestor..."

...[Due to the Host's father's appearance, combined with the previous interference with opportunities, the protagonist of destiny's opportunities have been severely hindered. 10,000 destiny points gained.]

This should have been a great thing, but because of what had happened earlier, Su Ming became alert.

"System, could Chu Fan obtain another Opportunity because of this?"

[Due to the influence of the Host's father, the current mandate of heaven is in chaos. Subsequent results cannot be predicted for the time being.]

A Heavenly Dao Realm Expert could throw the destiny of this world into chaos with just a single sentence from their residual will.

However, even so, it was still impossible to overturn the persecution of their family by that strongest destiny.

If they couldn't find the strongest Chaos Crystal, their family's fate would have only one outcome.

Thinking of this, Su Ming clenched his fists, and a great sense of crisis welled up within him.

After a while, he took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

"I haven't even reached the Void Realm yet, why am I thinking so much? Am I just scaring myself?"

After mocking himself, Su Ming thought of the Heavens Mandate Vision he hadn't been able to open earlier: "System, activate the Heavens Mandate Vision for ten seconds."

[Heavens Mandate Vision activating...]

As the System's voice sounded, a world-shaking change occurred before Su Ming's eyes.

His vision was pulled directly outside of the world, looking down upon everything on the Qianyuan Continent from above.

Then he saw two vibrant trees, extending countless branches that intertwined and connected with the entire world.

Su Ming locked onto one of the trees and followed its gaze downward, where he saw Chu Fan's figure.

Clearly, this was Chu Fan's destiny as the protagonist.

Then Su Ming looked at himself. He saw a withered thin line surrounded by layers of shackles extending toward nothingness and destruction. Intuition told him that was his own destiny.

However, the sharp-eyed Su Ming discovered that there were actually some thin lines full of vitality on his destiny.

The moment he saw them, the answer flashed in Su Ming's mind. Those were the parts of Chu Fan's destiny that had been plundered through the System.

Looking back at the giant tree of vitality representing Chu Fan's destiny, he saw a trace of withering that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

The Heavens Mandate Vision ended. Those brief ten seconds allowed Su Ming to see the truth and also ignited a fire of rage in his heart.

"Why must everything be arranged by you? Whoever you want dead must die? Whoever you want to be the protagonist is the protagonist?"

"My, Su Ming's, future and destiny can never be just that one path leading to nothingness and destruction! If all destiny is to be the enemy of me and those around me, then I will plunder all destiny! I will become the only one!"

[Please rest assured, the System will assist the Host in overturning fate.]

"System, I only need to change the destined trajectory of fate to obtain destiny points, right?"

[Correct. The more significant the trajectory of fate the Host changes, the more destiny points will be obtained.]

"I understand."

Su Ming recalled the other tree he had seen in the Heavens Mandate Vision; the person it represented must be his fiancée.

"Luo Ningshuang, my fiancée, now I need to properly learn everything about you..."

Just then, Uncle Meng suddenly pushed open the door and entered the room.

"Young Lord! Did the Master come back to see you?"

"It was just a descent of his will. My father... he is still waiting for me in a very distant place."

"With the Young Lord's talent, you will surely be reunited soon."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Su Ming's eyes. "We will. There will be a day of reunion. However, Uncle Meng, I have a more important matter that I need you to do now."

"Please speak, Young Lord!"

"Luo Ningshuang and I have been engaged for many years, but I have never known much about her. I want you to tell me everything about her experiences over these years."

Hearing this, Uncle Meng showed an embarrassed expression. "Young Lord, to be honest, I don't know much about your fiancée either. But since the Young Lord wants to know, this old servant will go and gather information immediately!"

"It's just that the mission to investigate the person guarding the Three Saints Pool will probably have to be delayed again..."

"It's fine. Go and collect the information on my fiancée first."

"This old servant will go at once!"

As Uncle Meng turned to leave, he couldn't help but think: "Even though the two have an engagement, at this age... isn't it a bit too early? Forget it, it's the Young Lord's private family matter, it's not good for me to interfere too much..."

Suddenly, Uncle Meng thought of some reasons: "Could it be that the Master said something to the Young Lord, like about having a grandson, which gave the Young Lord these ideas? Yes, it must be so."

What elderly parent wouldn't want a grandson, let alone two Heavenly Dao Realm Experts who have lived for untold ages?

"This concerns the Little Young Lord; I must handle this matter well!"

Just as Uncle Meng left the room, he saw Li Jianping standing outside.

"Oh? Have you thought of how to give my Young Lord an explanation?"

"That's none of your concern." At this moment, Li Jianping was full of confidence, his previous fear having vanished.

Although he felt it was a bit strange, Uncle Meng still left.

Su Ming had treasures gifted by his parents for protection, so he was safer than if he were accompanied by his Guardian. The priority now was to quickly find out the background of the Young Mistress.
