Su Ji felt his vision blur for a moment, and when his sight cleared, he found himself in an entirely different realm. The ground beneath his feet spanned roughly five paces square. The surroundings were a chaotic void, with no discernible boundaries.
Su Jiu frowned and took a step back. Though most of her expression was hidden behind a fox mask, the visible glint in her eyes betrayed shock and suspicion.
Before the two could exchange a word, an emotionless voice echoed from above, descending from the heavens and reverberating through the secret realm.
[The Heavenly Dao Secret Realm has opened.]
[This trial is unlike any other.]
[It disregards present cultivation—only future achievements matter.]
[Your current strength shall be elevated to match the peak of your destined future.]
[Your future self shall manifest as a phantom, empowering you.]
[In the end, only one victor may leave with the fortunes bestowed.]
[The rest… shall turn to dust.]
As expected…
This aligned with what Su Jiu already knew.
Only one would survive.
Because…
The Heavenly Dao…
Was raising them like insects in a fight to the death.
Yet, unlike the brutal free-for-all of such contests, this secret realm had an eerie sense of causality reversed.
It merely needed to identify the strongest of the future and let them live.
The so-called "heavenly talents" who remained were nothing but wastes of precious resources.
Su Jiu carried the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, destined to stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world—this, she believed without doubt.
The rules of this secret realm might as well have been tailor-made for her.
But… Su Ji?
Her gaze lingered on him, a flicker of complicated emotion passing through her eyes.
Should she kill him?
Or… given her own "non-human" uniqueness, was there another way?
If they truly could leave together, all her efforts—the red robes, the mask—would have been for nothing.
Not to mention the secrets she carried…
In the end, Su Jiu spoke: "Su Ji."
She couldn’t be bothered to keep up the act.
No more calling him "senior brother."
"Tell me, do you want to live?"
Su Ji’s heart sank.
Had his recent streak of luck from the random "Colored Destiny" run out?
How could one person be this unlucky?
Not only was this a life-or-death secret realm, but only one could survive…
"I…"
[Engaging in dialogue with Su Jiu. Target meets aesthetic preferences. Triggering romance options.]
[Option 1: Drop to your knees and scream: "Mom, spare me!" (Reward: A chance to live.)]
[Option 2: Kowtow immediately and beg: "Junior Sister Su Jiu, I don’t want to die!" (Reward: A chance to live.)]
[Option 3: Nod vigorously, cling to her feet, and plead for mercy. (Reward: A kick to the face + a chance to live.)]
[Permanent Option: "Keh keh keh! What fool dares approach? Don’t you know I despise female cultivators?" (Current kill count: 999,999…)]
Seeing the fourth option, Su Ji suddenly realized.
Future peak strength?
What could a measly Qi Refining cultivator like him possibly achieve?
Wouldn’t he just be crushed by Su Jiu instantly?
But…
Have you ever witnessed my prime?
Su Ji glanced at his Destiny.
[Destiny ①: Sever love, sever emotion… sever the heart! Sever the sword!! Ahahahaha!!!]
[Destiny Rank: Black]
[Effect: Sword Dao amplification—0.01% per female cultivator slain. Immunity to female cultivators’ mental attacks.]
(Evolved from romance options.)
(Keh keh keh! My sword is complete! My sword is complete!)
[Destiny ②: I Am the Human Sovereign!]
[Destiny Rank: Colored]
[Effect: Refine cultivators defeated by you to strengthen yourself. Amplification scales with the quality of the refined target. (Current Human Sovereign Banner refinement count: 999,999…)]
(Fellow Daoist, care to join me within the Human Sovereign Banner, where the Primordial Purple Qi flows?)
[Destiny ⑨⑥: Twisted Benevolence]
[Destiny Rank: White]
[Effect: Not recognized as a demonic cultivator.]
(When that blade fell upon me, did you ever imagine this day? I begged and pleaded, yet the blade still fell. So tell me—do you think your begging will stop my sword? Keh keh keh! You brought this upon yourselves!!!)
With a full ninety-six Destinies upon him, Su Ji barely had time to process them before an unimaginably vast power surged from deep within his body.
Behind him, a hazy phantom began to materialize.
Su Jiu, too, felt her own power skyrocketing.
Nine snow-white fox tails swayed behind her as the colossal phantom of a Heavenly Fox flickered into existence, radiating terrifying pressure.
She was brimming with confidence.
Who had ever witnessed…
The full might of a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox?
In this realm, she was invincible!
She turned back to Su Ji, awaiting his answer.
But that single glance—
Her confidence froze in place.
Su Ji’s phantom was rapidly solidifying.
Unlike her own sacred Heavenly Fox apparition…
His… no, it could no longer be called "his."
It… was something utterly ominous.
The phantom bore a resemblance to Su Ji, but its right eye was a hollow socket. The remaining left eye burned with unfathomable madness.
Its left arm was skeletal, five claw-like bone fingers twitching.
The right arm, grotesquely swollen, was encased in black scales that gleamed with a sinister chill.
But what truly made one’s scalp crawl—
Behind the phantom, two pitch-black banners crossed, so dark they seemed to devour light itself.
The banners rippled faintly, countless distorted faces writhing within, their agonized wails carried on a spectral wind that chilled the soul.
A Banner of Ten Thousand Souls?
No… a Banner of a Hundred Million?
Su Jiu’s pupils constricted.
This Su Ji… what kind of future had he walked?
This aura—it eclipsed any demonic path she had ever imagined, pure in its horror.
And Su Ji himself?
He was stunned.
He could sense the phantom’s connection to him—this was his future self.
But… this appearance…
A cultivator?
More like a vengeful ghost clawing its way out of the Nine Hells!
"Keh keh keh…"
A hoarse laugh escaped the phantom’s lips, dripping with bone-chilling delight.
Su Jiu suppressed her revulsion and activated the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s innate ability to peer into one’s origins.
Normally, this technique could uncover everything down to the age one wet the bed—yet for Su Ji, it returned only sparse fragments.
[Name: Su Ji]
[Cultivation: Sacrificial Dao]
[Some climb to the summit searching for a lost goat. Others slaughter their way to madness over a missing bird.]
What…
Was Sacrificial Dao?
Literally—
The act of sacrificing the Heavenly Dao itself, then replacing it. The ultimate, unrivaled state of existence.
Now…
Every single person in this Heavenly Dao Secret Realm…
Would die.
Including her.
Su Jiu watched as the phantom’s lone, baleful eye locked onto her.
Su Ji and it spoke in unison:
"Keh keh keh! What fool dares approach?"
A single glance—
Su Jiu felt her Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox phantom tremble on the verge of collapse.
Absolute strength.
None could defy it.
But…
This was absurd.
She couldn’t comprehend it.
All because… he lost his bird, he became this monstrosity?
If she could turn back time…
She would have fought to the death to protect Su Ji’s bird.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
ver to a world of cultivation and returned invincible. Modern medicine is child's play compared to elixirs; technological might crumbles before true cultivation. My name is Qin Ning, Earth's sole cultivator!
