A small coffin shot out from the depths of the Forbidden Zone. Within the sky-choking deathly aura, a youth clad in black armor slowly stepped out. Wuming Divine Nation. In the martial arena, the tall and imposing Fourth Prince was relentlessly refining his body. His aura was vast and powerful, and behind him, three deeply hidden manifestations hovered. No matter what weapon entered his hands, it became immensely powerful — grasping a blade, blade intent surged; grasping a sword, sword intent let out a long cry. He seemed like the master of all weapons! “His Highness the Fourth Prince has grown stronger again. What a pity he has no interest in that position.” “If he wanted it, he’d have a real chance at getting there…” sighed an advisor in feathered fan and silk cap. “Impossible. So long as His Highness the First Prince still lives, the Fourth Prince is just the fastest blade.” another strategist murmured. The current Hongwu Emperor was in his prime — the strongest sovereign of the Wuming Empire in the last hundred thousand years! Under his rule, Wuming flourished, rising to become the foremost of the Four Great Divine Nations. This emperor loved his people like his own children; any subject in his domain could request an audience. As for the Fourth Prince, he was the most like him. He received such favor that he could even enter the harem at will to meet the emperor! Yet, this prince had no interest in inheriting the throne — only because of the current Crown Prince, weak in both character and strength. So long as that prince remained, there were two suns in the sky of Wuming. And to all this, that overbearing emperor had no objections. This wasn’t just favoritism — it was practically a wish to abdicate on the spot! The strategists only dared discuss this in private — for anyone who dared threaten the Crown Prince would face divine wrath! Just then, the Fourth Prince abruptly halted his movements, his gaze turning skyward. “So, you’ve finally appeared.” A thousand killing intents flashed in his eyes. “You’re just the beginning. One by one… they’ll all surface…” “Let’s see then… who will claim it all!” A confident smile rose on his face, and he turned without hesitation toward the Crown Prince’s manor. Western Buddhist Nation. A dozing young novice monk slouched at the back of the chanting monks. His master looked at him helplessly. This disciple was born in the Buddhist Nation to a mortal woman. At birth, golden lotuses sprouted from the earth and Sanskrit chants echoed in the heavens. He pointed one finger to the sky, one to the ground, declaring: “Above the heavens, beneath the earth — I alone am supreme!” At first, all believed he was the hope to revive the Buddhist Way. For the next twenty years, this little monk would fall asleep every time he heard Buddhist scripture. His master reached for the disciplinary ruler to teach him a lesson— But then, that usually lazy youth suddenly opened his eyes. His body radiated dazzling Buddha Light. Even the statue atop the Grand Hall seemed to dim by comparison. “Destiny is with me — today is the time for Buddhism to flourish!” All the monks lowered their heads, chanting sutras, but their eyes gleamed with a deep, buried desire. Within Dragon Gate Peak. Thunderous rumblings shook the heavens. Yet with a wave of Su Zhou’s sleeve — everything vanished! Under the Dao of Karma, all disturbances were dispersed. The remaining family members looked at one another in confusion. They had no idea what had just occurred. They only knew that from today onward, another powerful Sequence had risen above them. “To avoid burdening the family…” — A flood of vast information surged into Su Chensha’s mind. After digesting it, his expression became extremely complex. He was about to speak to Su Zhou—Only to see the man offer a gentle smile. A warm voice entered his ears. “The Su Family has more than enough monsters. One more won’t make a difference.” “I’ve said it before — and today I’ll tell you again.” “Treat the stares of others as flickering ghost-lights — and boldly walk your night road!” “Everything else… I will bear it for you.” Hearing this, Su Chensha’s eyes grew moist. He whispered, “Yes.” Su Zhou gazed upon Su Chensha. Fresh chapters posted on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱 A glowing screen of light slowly emerged before his eyes.

[Quality Rank]: Mortal < Mundane < Superior < Genius < Heaven’s Chosen < Peerless < Monster < World-Suppressing < Heaven-Wielding Su Zhou had always wondered — in this world of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, spanning Three Thousand Great Domains… The Ten Earths governed the domains, and the Nine Heavens blanketed them. But if there were Ten Earths, then there should also be Ten Heavens. Why then, only Nine Heavens? He had searched ancient tomes but found no mention of a missing heaven. Now, he finally knew… where the lost Tenth Heaven was! [Ding!

He seized Su Chensha and activated the Kunpeng Method, instantly crossing space to return to Lingxiao Peak. At that moment, on Lingxiao Peak, Leng Ningyue was teaching swordsmanship to the family disciples. Su Hao had gone off to play with Fang Yun. Only Su Zhou and Su Chensha remained. “If you’re willing, I’ll hear your story.” Su Zhou stood with hands behind his back, overlooking the world. Beside him, still dizzy from the flood of information, Su Chensha naturally wished to speak. “Family Leader, just now when you erased that forbidden presence, many memories surfaced in my mind.” Su Chensha took a moment to organize his thoughts, then slowly began: A secret long buried in the ages began to surface. This was from after the Chaotic Age and the Nether Antiquity — the Third Epoch, known as the Mythic Era. At that time, Ten Heavens and Ten Earths corresponded to one another. The Three Thousand Great Domains orbited like stars. Each Heaven-Earth pair corresponded to a great world — and from every world, a Destiny would be born. Those who bore destinies were fated to suppress all opposition. Not that destiny bearers were the strongest — but the strongest could certainly bear destiny! That era was filled with deities and geniuses fighting over destinies. Endless races waged wars. The heavens and earth were soaked in blood. The sun ran red. The moon grew cold. The Ten Heavenly Destinies awaited their rightful inheritors. But over time, one destiny awakened its own will. It gazed down upon the mortal realms — at joy, anger, sorrow, laughter, all the emotions of living beings. Why did these frail creatures — whose lives could be undone by a single thought — feel so much? That question lingered in its heart. Later, the ten destinies scattered into the world, awaiting hosts. But the sentient destiny did not wait for someone to inherit it. It took on human form, descended to the mortal world — and lived like an ordinary person. It suffered injury, fell ill, aged, and… fell in love with a girl who liked to wear beaded flower ornaments. But the war of destinies only grew fiercer. That girl was but a fleeting speck in the world — and when she died in his arms… That destiny made a mad decision. “What did he do?” Su Zhou couldn’t help but ask, curiosity burning…
