Heaven's Chosen Is So Great? Take It Up with the System!
[Choice one: give up on messing with Tang San's head. Reward: Soul Power Level +1!] [Choice two: give Tang San a massive slap across the face. Rewards: Soul Power Level +1, thousand-year External Soul Bone!] [Choice three: mess with him, mess with him hard. Expose his identity as a transmigrator and a member of the Tang Sect. Rewards: Soul Power Level +2, Golden Sacred Dragon Essence Blood ×1, Deity Contract Fragment ×1!]
Once the three choices appeared, a casual glance was enough to tell him which one to pick.
Golden Sacred Dragon Essence Blood was good stuff. He had to get his hands on it.
There was also the Deity Contract Fragment. Judging by its detailed description, it was rather special.
Gathering nine fragments would allow him to turn a deity into his contract beast.
That was right, a contract beast!
Once contracted, the deity would acknowledge him as its master.
And he could borrow his contract beast's power to fight at any time.
Even if the binding was undone in the future, he could still control the deity through the contract.
He needed nine fragments to combine them into a complete Deity Contract.
"This thing... looks pretty powerful. I have to get it."
Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. There definitely wouldn't be any problems with the system's binding.
While the gods were bound, they definitely wouldn't dare give him attitude.
They would even have to watch his expression.
But were they willing to do so?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
What the gods probably wanted most was to undo the binding and then kill him.
But with the Deity Contract, things would be different in the future.
That was because the contract had a compulsory function: loyalty!
It disregarded any divine position and any level, forcibly establishing a contract.
A contracted deity would be loyal to him forever.
And with the power of the contract, he could wipe out a deity with a single thought.
If he kept triggering choice missions, he should be able to get more.
"Choice three!"
With his choice made, it was time to mess with Tang San's head.
At that moment, Chu Xuan's words had plunged Tang San into deep doubt.
Had his father really abandoned him?
It was possible, very possible!
Although his father was a Titled Douluo, he had stayed holed up in Holy Soul Village as an ordinary blacksmith ever since he was injured back then.
He was nothing like the Clear Sky Douluo of outside rumor.
At heart, the Clear Sky Douluo was probably also someone who clung to life and feared death.
After discovering that Tang San was being held prisoner in Spirit City, he naturally wouldn't dare come to his rescue.
Because Spirit City was teeming with experts, it was impossible to get him out, so he had simply given up.
Thinking about all this, Tang San really wanted to have a good cry.
If someone else had a father at the Titled Douluo level, wouldn't they be able to strut around as they pleased?
But what about his own Titled Douluo father?
He was nothing but a coward.
What a miserable fate.
"Little Scumbag, do you feel like it's unfair?"
"Look at that hypocritical piece of trash Tang Hao. Even now, he doesn't dare come to Spirit City."
"But if he really did rescue you and learned the truth about you later, I'm afraid he'd beat you to death, wouldn't he?"
Tang San's heart trembled, and he lowered his head.
Chu Xuan knew he was someone who had seized another's body.
If that matter came to light, Tang Hao really might kill him.
The body belonged to his biological son, but the soul was someone else's entirely.
No one could accept such a thing.
"I almost forgot to mention, it's not as simple as you just having seized someone's body. You're also a transmigrator."
"You transmigrated here from a martial arts world. You came from the Tang Sect's outer sect, a thief who was caught secretly learning the inner sect's ultimate techniques and still put on a righteous front."
As Chu Xuan spoke, Tang San's heart pounded violently.
He raised his head, deep fear in his eyes.
There was something wrong with Chu Xuan, definitely something very wrong.
If he knew Tang San had seized someone's body, it might be because his spiritual power was strong.
Or because of some powerful Soul Skill.
But knowing he was a transmigrator and that he came from the Tang Sect was a huge problem.
Aside from Tang San himself, no one else in this world could know he came from a martial arts world and from the Tang Sect.
Chu Xuan even knew he was a thief who had secretly learned the inner sect's ultimate techniques.
"You... who exactly are you?"
"Just who are you?!"
Tang San's composure shattered.
The greatest secret in his heart had been exposed, and he couldn't imagine what fate awaited him.
What would Chu Xuan do to him?
"Who am I? Just an utterly ordinary person who can see through the essence of all things."
"I really do want to tell people about your identity. What interesting things do you think would happen?"
Hearing that, Tang San completely lost his head.
Still lying on the ground, he kowtowed frantically.
"Don't, don't tell anyone. I'm begging you, don't tell anyone."
"I'll teach you all of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and my Hidden Weapons. Just don't tell anyone."
Tang San knew very well that once his true identity was exposed, destruction awaited him.
He might even be dragged off and sliced up for research.
Yet after all his kowtowing, he received no response from Chu Xuan.
He raised his head to look again, his eyes pleading.
"D-don't tell anyone. I'm a transmigrator and a child of destiny. You can't do this!"
"If you do, you'll surely suffer heaven's wrath!"
He remembered the storybooks and novels he had read before.
Whether in the martial arts world or this one, some storybooks and novels mentioned similar situations.
He had transmigrated here with the memories of his previous life. Didn't that make him a child of destiny?
A child of destiny was favored by the Heavenly Dao.
He was someone blessed with great fortune!
Anyone who harmed him would suffer heaven's wrath!
Yet after he said that, Chu Xuan remained calm.
"A child of destiny? Look at yourself now. What about you looks like a child of destiny?"
"So you're not someone favored by the Heavenly Dao at all, just a thief."
"Tell me, is it possible that Tang Hao's real son was the child of destiny, and you're merely someone who stole his body?"
"Maybe killing you wouldn't bring punishment from the Heavenly Dao. Maybe it would even bring a reward?"
Tang San froze completely.
Was Tang Hao's real son the child of destiny?
Did that mean he had stolen the other boy's fate as a child of destiny?
Although it seemed inconceivable, it really was possible.
It was also the most reasonable explanation.
Because, strictly speaking, neither Blue Silver Grass nor the Clear Sky Hammer was his Martial Soul.
They were the Martial Souls this body possessed through its bloodline!
Seeing that Tang San had fallen into a thinking trap, Chu Xuan chuckled.
Was heaven's chosen so great?
If it were someone else, they really might have no way to attack Tang San.
They might even be struck dead by the Heavenly Dao the moment they threatened his life.
But who was he?
He was someone with a system!
Even if he killed Tang San, this child of destiny, nothing would fucking happen to him.
If the Heavenly Dao really wanted to hold someone accountable, it could take it up with the system!
It was merely the Heavenly Dao of the Douluo World, a small world at the bottom of the power-scaling gutter among fantasy worlds. Once it ran into the system, it would probably be ground to dust.
Tang San's composure had collapsed, and his identities as a transmigrator and a Tang Sect member had been revealed. The system judged the choice mission complete, and the rewards arrived!
His Soul Power rose to level fifty-seven, and he got his hands on the Golden Sacred Dragon Essence Blood and the Deity Contract Fragment as well.
He probably wouldn't trigger another choice mission today, so he would come back another day.
Then he would see just what Tang Hao was capable of.
Given how much Tang Hao valued Tang San, he would surely try every possible way to rescue him.
Most likely, he would seek out other helpers.
But in the vast Douluo World, who would help Tang Hao unconditionally?
