In front of the Mystic Ice Tower.
The clamor of the crowd came to an abrupt halt the moment Qin Luo pulled out the Seal of Destiny.
"What the heck is that?"
Everyone blinked, staring at the ancient square seal in Qin Luo's hand.
Holding it aloft with one hand, his gaze swept across every face in the crowd.
Xiao Tian had half a lollipop dangling from his mouth, while Jiang Xueqi was still sniffling and wiping away tears.
Yet, the moment they caught sight of the Seal of Destiny in Qin Luo's hand, their eyes lit up with curiosity.
Doctor Ya, dark circles under her eyes, stifled a yawn and squinted at the seal.
A thought flickered through her mind.
Weird...
The system gave Qin Luo something this good?
Even something like this?
Are the cleaners these days really living this luxuriously?
"Everyone," Qin Luo flicked the Seal of Destiny with his finger, a faint smile playing on his lips as he addressed the group. "In the vast universe, those recognized by the Heavenly Dao are known as the Chosen Ones."
"But since you've ascended from minor realms, you don’t qualify anymore. Today, I’ll help you reclaim that status."
Xiao Tian blinked and raised his hand. "What’s a Chosen One? Can you eat it?"
Jiang Xueqi wiped her tears and smirked. "Dummy, a Chosen One is literally someone chosen by destiny!"
Wang Yong, thoughtful, piped up in a crisp voice, "Hmm... I think my master mentioned something similar, but not 'Chosen Ones'—more like 'Virtuous Ones.'"
"People who can ascend through accumulated virtue. My master’s been searching for a way to achieve that."
"How boring," Shangguan Chuxue sighed, glancing around. "Not a single flower or blade of grass in sight. Utterly dull."
"Me! Me! I calculated... the next few days will be nothing but clear skies!" Suan Tianxing lay sprawled on the ground, staring up at the drifting clouds.
Ouyang Xuan and the others eyed the group warily, inching away slightly.
What the hell...
Since when did Qin Luo have friends like these?
"Hey, hey, hey..." Su Muwan sidled up to Qin Luo and muttered, "Don’t bother explaining, Qin Luo. These guys are all lunatics—they won’t get it."
"Ahem..." Qin Luo cleared his throat and fell silent.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, he tossed the seal into the air. In an instant, golden light cascaded like a waterfall.
Intricate dark-gold patterns emerged beneath their feet on the icy ground, as though countless threads of fate had descended from the void, coiling around each person’s wrist.
Xiao Tian suddenly shuddered—and wet himself.
"Me... me... the Dragon King... is spouting water..."
The crowd: ?
Su Muwan’s eye twitched as she facepalmed. "Great. So these are the same people who killed me so many times in my past life that I had to reincarnate."
Seriously, can anyone relate?
She was at her wit’s end.
But more importantly...
Her gaze shifted to the sky, where the seal’s phantom had now swollen to a towering thirty feet.
Wait—
So it didn’t even need to be stamped on someone’s head?
Qin Luo caught Su Muwan’s murderous glare and coughed awkwardly. "Just wanted to mess with you a little, Young Miss."
"You—!"
As time passed, everyone present felt an invisible grip tighten around their hearts, followed by the crisp snap of chains breaking somewhere in the depths of their souls.
The next moment—
A notification flashed before Qin Luo:
[Detected target for destiny infusion: Xiao Tian (Former T0 Destiny)]
[Overwriting previous fate line... Complete!]
[New identity confirmed: Chosen One of the Netherfrost Sanctum, Greater Universe!]
【Detected Qi Infusion Target: Jiang Xueqi (Original T0 Destiny)】
【Overwriting previous fate line...... Overwrite complete!】
【New Identity Authentication: Great Thousand World · Netherfrost Sacred Domain · Chosen of Destiny!】
【Detected........】
A series of system notifications flashed by.
Proof of the mass production of Chosen Ones.
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian blankly touched the top of his head as a wisp of golden energy emerged from his hair.
It condensed into a miniature golden dragon illusion in his palm. He exclaimed excitedly, "Dean, look! A dragon! A tiny dragon!!"
"Chirp chirp!"
The golden dragon illusion raised its head proudly.
"Dragon? You’re wrong, that’s clearly a loach."
Jiang Xueqi poked at the dragon, her shoulder adorned with a small golden bell.
Golden Dragon Illusion: ?
Qin Luo glanced at the group and noticed that each of them now bore a manifestation of golden destiny energy.
Perhaps this was the difference in the rules of this world compared to lesser realms?
Su Muwan watched from the side, blinking in curiosity.
She knew Qin Luo was certifying these people, but...
She tugged at Qin Luo’s sleeve and asked worriedly, "Qin Luo, if you stamp them all with the Heaven’s Mandate certification, won’t it affect you somehow?"
Su Muwan had learned a thing or two about karma by now.
Wouldn’t Qin Luo bear an overwhelming burden of causality for this?
Though, to be fair...
She wasn’t one to talk, given how often she cursed at fate and the heavens.
"Relax, young mistress. If divine retribution were real, those old schemers in the Great Thousand World who toy with people’s fates would’ve been struck down long ago."
"Besides, why let such a good thing go to waste?"
Qin Luo clasped Su Muwan’s ice-cold little hand in his.
His gaze shifted to the fading glow of the Destiny’s Seal in the sky.
Then—
A brilliant idea flashed across his mind.
The rule of the Great Thousand World was that its inhabitants must survive the battles of destiny, virtue, and faith.
But...
The Chosen of Destiny had no such restrictions.
So... wouldn’t that mean...?
Qin Luo’s eyes settled on the entirety of the Netherfrost Sacred Domain.
What if he turned the entire domain into a land of Chosen?
The method to synthesize destiny was simple:
One living being + destiny energy + predetermined fate line = Chosen of Destiny
Hah!
Qin Luo’s eyes lit up. And as for the destiny energy...
He stared at the vast, dense sea of clouds above.
This newborn sacred domain had more than enough to spare!
......
......
At the heart of the sea of clouds...
The Snow-White Spirit Beast pawed at the swirling mists.
Crunch crunch crunch!
She gnawed on a chunk of condensed destiny energy, her expression sulky.
Turns out, that massive reserve of destiny wasn’t meant for her.
Not only had she gained nothing, but she’d also been bound to protect this place for a thousand years.
Talk about a raw deal!
Never had she felt so cheated.
Still, she consoled herself.
At least the destiny energy here was abundant—enough to feast on for a millennium. Once the time was up, she’d just...
Suddenly, the entire sea of clouds trembled violently.
The fur on the Snow-White Spirit Beast’s neck stood on end as she watched the golden reservoir of destiny—vast as rivers and seas—pour downward like a sieve with no bottom.
The sheer momentum suggested an endless abyss was devouring it all!
"What in the—?!"
Her slit pupils shrank to pinpricks.
WHO DARES?!
Who is devouring such vast amounts of fortune!?
Is this... an attempt to break through to the Chaos Realm?!
Damn it, how dare they target this venerable one!
The Snow-White Spirit Beast bristled and stood up abruptly, her gaze piercing downward toward the Sacred Domain.
Then, a scene unfolded that left her utterly stunned.
Before her eyes—
The entire territory of the Netherfrost Sacred Domain was pierced by countless golden beams of light, tearing through the clouds like spears.
Each beam represented a Chosen One of Destiny.
So many...
The Snow-White Spirit Beast’s pupils trembled in shock.
What the—?!
What in the world is happening?!
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
