Clearly, Ye Qing's misfortune didn't come out of nowhere.
Even though he possessed top-tier disguise skills—enough to fool even a Grandmaster's eyes—
unfortunately, he couldn't deceive a Skybreaker!
To put it bluntly, the three Grandmaster puppets Jiang Che had acquired earlier had all advanced to the Skybreaker stage!
And Jiang Che had specifically assigned one of these Skybreaker puppets to tail Ye Qing.
Those random passersby who kept snatching Ye Qing's opportunities? None other than this very Skybreaker puppet in disguise.
All to mess with his head!
"Damn it! Who the hell is targeting me?"
Ye Qing was furious, his fists clenched so tight his knuckles turned white, his inner energy surging wildly.
Just then, a voice whispered into his ear.
"Are you... at your wit's end?"
The ghostly voice appeared right beside him, startling him badly.
"Who's there?"
Ye Qing's instincts screamed danger.
As the disciple of a group of elite experts, he prided himself on having encountered many powerful figures, which was why he'd looked down on everything in the mundane world after entering it.
Yet, he'd been humbled time and again!
First, that Skybreaker from the Jiang Family, then that elusive Transcendent Realm expert who came and went like a shadow.
And now, who was this standing before him?
Ye Qing felt like any random passerby could easily overpower him, a peak-level Grandmaster martial artist.
"You just need to know I mean you no harm."
The voice was eerily calm. Ye Qing focused his gaze and saw a young man standing before him.
But what terrified him was... this man was floating in midair, with no trace of inner energy fluctuations!
Only one explanation existed—
This person's strength far surpassed his own!
Upon reaching the Skybreaker stage, one could briefly hover in the air using inner energy.
Flight techniques? His masters could do that too. But to conceal all energy presence? That was terrifying.
Could it be... this guy was even stronger than his masters?
Another Transcendent Realm monster???
He was genuinely scared now. Just how dangerous was this place?
He recalled his masters' confident words: "Go wild. The ceiling of the mundane world is the Heavenly Fist Grandmaster. Within a year, you'll be invincible!"
But now? Grandmasters were nothing! Skybreakers were as common as dogs, and Transcendents roamed everywhere!
"The city's full of traps—I wanna go back to the countryside!"
"May I ask... who you are?"
Ye Qing's tone instantly turned obsequious.
"Heh, no harm telling you. I'm a member of the Destiny Society, and we've been observing you for a while."
The young man's voice dripped with arrogance, as if Ye Qing wasn't even worth his attention.
"Destiny Society???"
Ye Qing was baffled. Yet another gap in his knowledge.
"Correct. Those blessed by destiny carry immense fortune—everything goes their way, luck always on their side."
Ye Qing fell silent, thinking of his recent streak of bad luck.
"Then you’ve got the wrong guy. I have no great fortune—just a mountain of bad luck lately. I’m no 'Destiny’s Chosen,' more like 'Doom’s Favorite.'"
"No, no. You’re just being targeted. In truth, you do carry great fortune. Tell me... you’re not from this world, are you?"
"Or rather—you came from behind the Door!"
The mysterious youth laid bare Ye Qing's origins, making his eyes narrow sharply.
"Wait, you said I’m being targeted? By whom?"
The youth smirked. "Want to know? Join the Destiny Society, and I’ll tell you."
"Senior, may I ask... what realm have you reached?" Ye Qing's voice trembled. He knew it was rude, but curiosity burned in him.
"Heh. I am Ye Fanchen. As for my cultivation... let’s just say it’s a tad higher than yours."
Ye Qing brightened. "Senior, we share the same surname! I’m also a Ye!"
Ye Fanchen broke into a cold sweat, exasperated.
Who’s your kin? The Destiny Society’s full of Ye’s—are they all family?
And... could you shut up already? Maintaining this act was exhausting. His spatial ability couldn’t sustain flight much longer—it drained energy fast. Any more, and he’d be exposed.
"Ye Qing, if you weren’t from behind the Door, our society wouldn’t even consider you. Isn’t this an opportunity for you?"
Ye Fanchen’s voice was hypnotically persuasive.
And it worked—Ye Qing was tempted.
"The Destiny Society... has many members?"
"Not many, but each is elite, favored by the heavens. Some can part rivers, others move mountains, and a few can traverse the void itself..."
Under Ye Fanchen’s smooth talk, Ye Qing’s resolve crumbled.
He was sold! Parting rivers? Moving mountains? Traversing the void? What level of power was that?
Even Transcendents paled in comparison!
Could there be realms beyond the Transcendent?
Sorry... his imagination fell short. The Transcendent Realm was his limit.
"Come. Work with the Destiny Society, and the benefits will be endless."
"Fine!" Ye Qing gritted his teeth and went all in. "Now, tell me—who’s been screwing with me?"
Ye Fanchen’s eyes narrowed to slits as he uttered two words:
"Jiang Che."
......
"Achoo!"
"Who’s talking crap about me?"
Jiang Che grumbled before smacking Yu Wan'er’s butt. "Was it you?"
Yu Wan'er: "(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻"
"[I @#￥@#!...]"
Hmm, guess not. Jiang Che smirked smugly.
Just then, the system chimed in.
[Ding! The protagonist ‘Chen Hao’ has lost all destiny points. Calculating rewards...]
[Rating: S (A seasoned villain—just a bit of a bastard)]
[Rewards: Epic Treasure Chest x1, Custom System x1, Divine Taiji (Skill)]
[Ding! Host has eliminated three protagonists’ destinies. System upgrade unlocked.]
Jiang Che: "???"
What the hell? Since when did Chen Hao lose his destiny?
But after a moment’s thought, it made sense.
Chen Hao’s luck had been on borrowed time. His family, his little sister, even he himself had all submitted to Jiang Che.
Every one of his cheat abilities was gone—he’d fully surrendered.
Still, the loot was generous.
Jiang Che had opened an Epic Treasure Chest before—nothing too special.
But the next reward caught his eye:
Custom System!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.

Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
