Chapter 413: Savior and Destroyer
Chu Mo frowned after seeing this mission.
"System, what does this mean?" Although he had a guess, he was not completely sure.
"The Son of Destiny is essentially the protagonist of this world. Wherever he goes, he will encounter treasures, supreme cultivation methods, and beauties that randomly fall in love with him," replied the system in the cold mechanical voice.
"Additionally, when in danger, their luck will activate and found a way for them to survive and even become more powerful because of this."
Chu Mo's eyes lit up after hearing this. If he could become a Son of Destiny, his cultivation would be very smooth. By then, becoming a Great Emperor would be guaranteed.
"If what you say is true, how could I kill a Son of Destiny?" As a transmigrator, Chu Mo knew how cockroach-like the survival of protagonists can be. Even if someone 10 realms higher than them comes to kill them, some random old man that the protagonist once thought was a beggar and offered him food will turn out to be a terrifying powerhouse and come rescue him.
This is how unreasonable some protagonists can be.
"The only way is to defeat the protagonist over and over," replied the system.
"How is that going to work?"
"With each defeat, the system can devour some luck from the Son of Destiny and add to the host. After a certain amount is drained, they will lose their status of Son of Destiny and can be killed."
Chu Mo nodded his head as this method was very common in the novels he used to read. "So, where is this Son of Destiny?"
"Exact Location is unknown, but the system detected that it was somewhere in the Black Mirror Prefecture."
"In the Righteous Sect's domain?" muttered Chu Mo. "With my current strength, can I defeat him?"
"It would be best for the host to enter the Profound God Realm as soon as possible, and even the peak. Additionally, the host should cultivate The Overlord Profound Body to a certain level."
Chu Mo pondered for a moment. He had just broken through from the Profound Sovereign Realm to the Profound Saint Realm and opened up his Sea of Consciousness, gaining access and complete control of his Spiritual Sense.
As such, he was still quite some time away from the last cultivation realm, the Profound God Realm. As for the Overlord Profound Body, he only got the first three levels after extinguishing a few rank 8 demonic sects.
If he want to acquire the higher levels, he had to extinguish rank 9 sects, but they have Profound God Realm cultivators. And the most powerful of them have Demon Monarchs, who have the power to easily kill most Profound God Realms.
So, his best choice of action now is to kill a few more rank 8 sects and devour them to cultivate to the peak of the Profound Saint Realm, and even acquire the resources to cultivate his Overlord Profound Body.
After making a decision, Chu Mo rushed to another destination.
On the sun, Wang Wei's gaze was fixed on Chu Mo for a moment as he muttered, "The destroyer has been set, now what about the Savior?"
His gaze then focused on Zhou Shu.
A few days, ago:
Zhou Shu opened the book that taught on how to become a protagonist:
"Fate is all-encompassing, and one of the ways that it controls all living things in existence is through Luck. Many cultivators do not believe in luck or think it's just a matter of probability. However, that is not true.
"Luck is one of the many fundamental concepts that govern reality, that dictates the functions or roles of Heaven and Earth. As such, it is not only real but also has rules and regulations.
"There are three types of luck. Human, Earth, and Heaven. Human Luck is determined by birth and has different classificationsâ¦
"Earth Luck refers to Luck gathered by a large group of people often in the shape of sects or fortunate dynastiesâ¦
"Heavenly Luck is a special gift granted personally by Heavenly Dao, and those with abundant of them are called Son of Destinyâ¦
"Although each type of luck is different, there is still a connection between, and using that connectionâ¦"
Zhou Shu was fascinated by this book as there were many things he never knew people. The concept of luck of even the Fortune Dynasty was foreign to him. In this world dominated by sects, no dynasty has ever been so powerful as described in this book; all of them were usually only mortal dynasties.
What interested him more was the method of becoming a Son of Destiny. This technique taught how to absorb other people's Qi Luck or the Qi Luck of a sect. And once these two different lucks reached a certain standard, a deal can be made with Heavenly Dao to exchange for the status of Son of Destiny.
Immediately, Zhou Shu began to cultivate this technique. The first part was cultivating True Vision so that he could see luck. Then, was the part about absorbing other people's luck without backlash.
Once he was done, he quickly went to rest it out by absorbing the luck of a few ordinary mortals. According to the book, it is best not to absorb all the luck of one person or kill them.
Zhou Shu would not make such a mistake because he remembered that in his memories, the person who once received this technique was caught because he could not resist the temptation and killed the people whom he stole luck from. This event brought great turmoil to the Heavenly Profound Continent as countless Profound Gods fought for the ownership of this method. There were even rumors that a person from the demonic sects took in the end.
And based on the catastrophe that occurred years later, Zhou Shu believed that it might have been true.
After testing out this technique, he returned to a secret base that he built. Inside were many geniuses of the demonic sects. To prepare for cultivating this technique, he sneaked inside their prefecture and caught a few of them.
The process was much easier than anticipated as there seems to be some trouble on the demonic side. Countless sects have been killed and destroyed in just a few months.
After using his True Vision to check, Zhou Shu was satisfied when he saw the Qi Luck Dragon on top of these people. Then, he devoured most of their luck before leaving.
Immediately afterward, Zhou Shu returned to the Free Heart Sect to meet his master. Previously, his sect was only a rank 7 one with a few Profound Sovereign. As the most talented disciple of the sect, a lot of hope was placed on him to lead the sect to become rank 8, and even rank 9.
After a deep talk with his master, the next day, it was announced that Zhou Shu would become the new sect master while the current one would resign. With his Profound Sovereign Realm cultivation, and such a young one as that, the transferring process was very smooth,
Although some people were curious about the hurry, it did not affect the general situation. After taking the position, Zhou Shu used some of his fortunate encounters to cast a Luck Condensing Artifact to gather the Qi Luck of the entire sect and bless him and his fellow disciples.
Three months later, with the luck of the entire sect supporting him, Zhou Shu broke through the Profound Saint Realm. Immediately afterward, he began to expand the sect by absorbing smaller ones. He did not even go to the Alliance Center to change the rank of his sect.
On the sun, Wang Wei continued his carvings to better help understand Karma. Once in a while, he would place his attention on his two chess pawns.
Suddenly, he felt something and waved his hand. Then, an image was displayed in front of him. Tong Hua was having a meeting with the Supreme Elder. To keep an eye on these people, Wang Wei sent the ant-size recoding artifacts that the sect developed.
"Supreme Elder, something has gone wrong. A new demonic cultivator has been killing countless people and weakening their sides."
The old man frowned after hearing this. "In that case, let's also weaken the righteous sect side."
Tong Hua hesitated for a moment before nodding and leaving.
While watching all of these, Wang Wei had to sigh that the founder of the Unspoken Sect was truly an extraordinary person. For countless generations, he has planned, treating the entire world as a chessboard for one reason: to artificially create a World Lord or Dao Ancestor.
And how does he plan to do this?
To create a catastrophe that threatens to destroy the world. That way, Heavenly Dao will have no chance but to create a savior or World Lord to save the world.
For countless generations, the Upright Sect has ensured that the demonic sects become stronger and stronger, while the righteous sect weakened. This is the reason that they killed all the upper echelons of the Righteous Sect Alliance.
Because of this fact, Wang Wei tasked Chu Mo with killing as many demonic sects as possible to weaken, or at least, delay as much as possible so that he can buy enough time for his sect to come find him before the World Lord is created.
However, now, he could feel that they were not far away from this world. So, he decided to speed up things a little to achieve his goal of stealing some World Source from this world.
