Su Chensha licked his somewhat dry lips, his gaze complicated. After a long pause, he finally spoke softly. “He believed that the root of all chaos… was destiny itself.” “All misfortune, all calamities — every pain He had ever felt…” “Were sins committed by cultivators in their struggle for destiny.” “So, He made a decision — to end everything.” The Destiny that had awakened self-awareness, though it knew nothing of cultivation, was innately powerful — a power no mere human could resist. Thus, He began killing, one by one, all those qualified to bear destiny. He wanted to devour the Nine Destinies, and then destroy Himself, so that no Destiny would ever exist again! He was just one step away from success. He had almost swallowed all the Destinies. And at that very moment, as destiny dissipated, the laws of heaven and earth began to fracture. Endless calamity, chaos, and bizarre anomalies surged forth. But immersed in His own suffering, He did not notice any of it. He had gone mad — obsessed only with ending it all. The masses fell into despair. All of creation teetered on the brink of destruction. But just then, an Emperor appeared from the void. He did not cultivate laws, did not pursue the Dao, did not bear destiny, nor worship any faith. He believed only in his own flesh. That battle shattered the heavens and earth. Laws crumbled. Even the Dao was dragged down into the mortal realm! The sky of the Tenth Heaven was shattered by brute force. And the fate that had lost its heavenly source — was seized by that Emperor and torn apart with his bare hands! He reconstructed the Nine Destinies, restoring peace to the human world. As for the one who had committed boundless sins — that self-aware destiny — it was scattered across the mortal realm. Parts of it became mountains and stones, others merged with the laws. Its consciousness, however, was cast into endless reincarnation, suffering infinite calamity, experiencing the tribulations of all beings. That destiny had a name… Luo Tian! Su Chensha pointed to himself and continued solemnly: “And I… am the darkest part of Luo Tian’s consciousness — the one with the deepest sin.” “I carry the Eye of Luo Tian — the eyes that beheld the mortal world and triggered everything that followed.” “If not for the Family Leader, I would likely still be lost in endless reincarnation.” At this, Su Chensha stood and respectfully bowed again. These awakened memories hadn’t altered Gu Chensha’s current self. It was more like watching a movie — he had merely seen and now described what once was. “With my awakening, the remaining lost destinies will start to seek each other again… to battle… and ultimately, destiny will unify once more.” “And then?” Su Zhou asked softly. “Will you restore the Tenth Heaven?” “No… I don’t know what to do.” “My memories only go so far. Many secrets… many details… are incomplete.” “But I vaguely sense one thing…” “In this era… everything is twisted. Even the Nine Destinies may only be pawns in a greater, more terrifying scheme…” Su Chensha’s voice grew hesitant. This line of thought was simply too astonishing — if not speaking to the Family Leader, he wouldn’t have dared say it aloud. Otherwise, he would easily be dismissed as mad. After all, what kind of being would dare treat the exalted Destinies as chess pieces? Anyone who spoke such words — what else could they be but a lunatic? Yet, Su Zhou showed not even the slightest trace of surprise. Indeed, what Su Chensha said was shocking — terrifying even. But Su Zhou had seen even more horrifying scenes with his own eyes. On the path of the Dao, everything had twisted. Pairs of eyes sat watching the myriad realms — twisting laws, distorting the Dao, regarding all life as food on their platter. Even the Great Dao was merely a tool to them — what then, was destiny? What kind of existence could stand above the Dao itself? Layer upon layer of fog rose in Su Zhou’s mind. But he was in no hurry — truth after truth would be peeled back. And when the day came that Su Zhou stood before those beings… That would be the moment all truths were laid bare — and all illusions shattered. “The battle over destiny is unavoidable. I fear I’ll drag the family into a bottomless abyss…” Su Chensha’s voice held guilt. He had spent the first half of his life as a cripple, offering nothing to the family. Only now, after passing through the Dragon Gate, shedding his mortal shell, did he finally have some worth. But this worth might drag the family into an even greater whirlpool. The thought filled him with overwhelming remorse. “Destiny… how fascinating.” Su Zhou ignored his words and instead murmured to himself. If even the Nine Fates were mere pieces placed by those unfathomable things— Then this game of chess… the Su Family would join it! As the only one to break his shackles and forge his own path, Su Zhou was destined to clash with those terrifying forces. If so, then it was better to plan early. This battle over destiny — was the first step! “Su Chensha — you are now the Sixth Sequence of the Su Family. Title: Sixth Heaven-Slayer!” “I grant you this title because I want you to live up to it — to slay Heaven in battle, to move boldly!” “The entire Su Family is your support. I have only one rule: Su Family disciples — if they act, they act decisively.” “This battle cannot be avoided. In that case — I want Luo Tian’s destiny…” As he spoke, Su Zhou turned to face Su Chensha. In those calm eyes surged heavens shaking, seas of blood, towers of bones! “I want Luo Tian’s destiny — returned fully to the Su Family!!” His words were resolute, leaving no room for refusal. Su Chensha didn’t hesitate at all. He dropped to one knee and said, his voice not loud, but utterly firm: “Sixth Heaven-Slayer — receives the command!” Su Chensha had never thought himself smart — even before crossing the Dragon Gate, he had been the family’s only cripple. But he had never given up. He kept moving forward. When his cultivation scattered — he trained again. When the gate was closed — he carved a path of his own. He simply walked forward. Everything else was meaningless. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Now, if the Family Leader told him to keep walking, Then even if his body shattered, even if his soul perished — he would not stop. Until the day he delivered the complete destiny into the hands of the Family Leader. Seeing Su Chensha’s resolve, Su Zhou nodded slightly. [Ding! Congratulations to Host for helping Red-Rank Heaven’s Chosen break destiny’s shackles!] [Reward: Entry to Ancient Immortal Battlefield!] The system’s helpful prompt rang softly in Su Zhou’s ears. He turned his palm — a manual appeared, radiating Yin-Yang Qi. “This is the Ten Fiends Kunpeng Technique — a primeval divine technique.” “Once mastered, it allows flight through space as if walking on flat ground!” “Today, I bestow it upon you!” As he spoke, the technique slowly floated before Su Chensha. Su Chensha’s pupils contracted slightly. Ancient divine techniques were incredibly rare — and those involving space laws were even more so. This technique alone was valuable enough to spark war between major powers. And now — it was simply placed before him. He felt as if he could hardly breathe. The Family Leader’s kindness — even death isn’t enough to repay it! “Thank you, Family Leader, for your grace!” Su Chensha spoke with heartfelt emotion. Su Zhou nodded. Then, before him appeared a virtual manifestation that only he could see. It was a bare-chested, terrifying figure — grasping the sky, trampling the earth. Who in all realms could face him? His battle intent was so fierce even the heavens trembled. His pressure was incomparable. He dared to challenge the Great Dao itself! [Ancient Blood War Emperor: A primordial war emperor, driven to madness in battle, crushing all opposition, daring to challenge the Dao!] [Usage: Grants a family member the Ancient Blood War Emperor manifestation. Only those with supreme luck and willpower can bear it!] Su Zhou had obtained this template long ago but had never found a suitable bearer — until now. Su Chensha fit it perfectly. Thinking this, Su Zhou spoke: “Open your mind.” Su Chensha didn’t hesitate for even a second. He immediately calmed his thoughts, his soul entering silence. He didn’t know what the Family Leader was about to do — but since the Family Leader asked, he would obey! Su Zhou activated the Ancient Blood War Emperor Template. The terrifying manifestation battling heaven and earth fused into Su Chensha’s body. The compatibility was flawless. As the manifestation merged within him— The phantom of the War Emperor howled toward the heavens. His terrifying battle will surged continuously. He tore apart the heavens — and as if catching something within the void— Several invisible threads… Crack!!
