Tian Mucheng: If Only We Had a System

~

"A living dead constitution?"

Moyan stared at Tian Mucheng suspiciously, as though she wanted to see straight through him. She frowned slightly and carefully looked him over from head to toe again, secretly wondering, Could it be that the old Holy Lord was trying to tease him again?

"You find it unbelievable? So do I. I never expected my body to be in this state." When Tian Mucheng had learned this from the Dragon Soul, he had appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly, he had been completely dumbfounded.

"So that means..." Moyan quickly understood what a living dead constitution meant. "Those guys up there can't see you right now, can they?"

"Exactly. But once I absorb enough fate to improve my body, I'll become a prized target in their eyes."

Tian Mucheng nodded. He had never expected Moyan, who usually looked so lazy, to have such a sharp mind.

"In that case... we'll have to hold on to the fate for now. We can't give it all to you."

"That is indeed necessary, just in case."

"Ugh~ What a pain!"

Moyan sighed. Why did everything have to be so troublesome?

Originally, she had planned to disgust Shrek Academy and then make a run for it. But now that she knew the Holy Lord's constitution was like this, her purpose in going to Shrek had to change.

That Golden Ancient Tree was obviously fated to be connected with the Holy Lord!

Heh heh heh.

After thinking for a moment, Tian Mucheng still brought up his plan regarding the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. "Should we start planning for the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well now?"

"Are you crazy?" Moyan's lazy expression instantly vanished, replaced by sheer shock. "I remember there's a dog's divine sense there. It'll be hard for us to get it unless..."

"You're not thinking...?" Moyan immediately understood Tian Mucheng's intentions. He wanted to use that one chance, but there was only one such opportunity. Once it was used, it would be gone.

Tian Mucheng nodded. Just as Moyan had guessed, that was exactly what he intended to do.

The Children of Fate had already changed, and there were far too many variables in the future now. He had to obtain the great opportunity of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well first.

Seeing Tian Mucheng's determination, Moyan thought for a moment before deciding to throw the question to Jin Tianming and let him choose for her. "Ask Jin Tianming what he thinks. If he agrees, then I agree."

Without even thinking, Tian Mucheng opened their spiritual connection and pulled them both in, beginning their first meeting.

Jin Tianming entered the spiritual connection and looked at his main body in confusion. Seeing that his main body's hair had merely turned white, he let go of his worries. "Main body, you're awake? Don't be so reckless next time."

"Alright." Tian Mucheng nodded in agreement, though only he knew what he truly thought. He then began explaining his plan to Jin Tianming.

Jin Tianming listened attentively. Once his main body had finished explaining the plan, he stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

The matter of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well was indeed no small issue. The opportunity and fate it contained were immense, but if they obtained it...

At that thought, Jin Tianming looked at his main body. "There may be a problem with your plan. Who are you going to have store that fate?"

Moyan was going to Shrek Academy, so there was no way she could bring a huge amount of fate into that pyramid-scheme academy. Otherwise, some dog would notice something amiss and set its sights on her.

But his main body's cultivation had now fallen to Rank 17. At this stage, he likely could not create a third avatar at all.

Tian Mucheng naturally understood Jin Tianming's confusion and concern. He directly stated his idea. "I plan to have Xiao Xue and Dugu Yan store that fate. It can also help their cultivation break through to Titled Douluo quickly."

Moyan and Jin Tianming both looked at him in surprise. They had not expected their main body to be so bold!

"Will that really work?" Moyan was still worried. If the two Dragon Slaves could not withstand that fate, Tang Gou in the heavens would still discover them.

After some thought, Jin Tianming said gravely, "If those two Dragon Slaves have difficulty bearing the fate, transfer it to me. Before Huo Yuhao and Huo Yutong head to the Sun Moon Empire, Tang Gou won't pay excessive attention to anything else. He'll only think that changes in Soul Tools have caused the fate to increase."

That was simply Tang San's nature. Huo Yuhao and Huo Yutong were the most important; everything else could be cast aside.

"What a hassle."

Moyan complained after hearing that. It all felt so complicated and troublesome. Fortunately, she did not need to worry about it for now. She was only scouting the way ahead.

Hearing Moyan's complaint, Tian Mucheng spread his hands helplessly. "There's no helping it. If only we had a system. Then we could cheat like Huo Yuhao and have a great time, without so many worries afterward."

In this world, Titled Douluo, soul beasts, gods—before a system, they were all trash.

Unfortunately, he did not have a system. He could only plan things slowly and gamble little by little.

He did not want to be a gambling addict either, but if he did not gamble, he would never have a chance to rise. What awaited him would be nothing but death. He truly did not want to endure that physical pain again.

"Yeah. If only we had a system. Something that works like a concept itself wouldn't require so much planning or so many concerns." Moyan agreed. She was simply too lazy. If the Holy Lord's main body had not required it, she would not even want to go to Shrek Academy. She just wanted to lie around at the Holy Lord's side.

Being a mascot would be enough.

Jin Tianming looked at Moyan speechlessly and said irritably, "If we had a system, do you think we'd even be needed?"

"Enough. Let's end this topic here." Tian Mucheng truly did not want to discuss it anymore. "The Ice Fire Yin Yang Well isn't urgent. Although the Children of Fate have changed, they still need time to grow. Our priority now is to establish a base for our faction."

"Once the base is built, it won't be too late to plan for the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well."

The Immortal Hall's base had to be established first before they could plan for the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. Otherwise, where would they store those immortal herbs from the Yin Yang Well? If he stored them in his spiritual sea, one careless mistake could make his head explode.

Besides, he had absolutely no trust in those beasts. He would rather believe that Mu En would keep his promise than trust those plants that obeyed Tang Gou.

"Main body, handle it as you see fit. I need to start researching Soul Tools too, to see whether I can develop something like communication devices." Jin Tianming nodded, fully agreeing with his main body's idea. "And stop risking your life like that. You scare the hell out of me every time."

Hearing that, Tian Mucheng nodded. "I'll definitely do it next time!"

Jin Tianming:

He knew it. His main body had not listened at all. He shot Moyan, who was so lazy she looked almost dead, a warning glare before disconnecting from the spiritual connection.

He hoped Moyan could fulfill her responsibility.

Moyan naturally caught Jin Tianming's look. Of course she would keep an eye on the main body—provided she did not get talked into stupidity by his silver tongue.

Tian Mucheng disconnected from the spiritual connection and sat alone beside the tea table in the guest room. Looking at the tea in his hand, which had long since gone cold, he began thinking over his plans for life.

The appearance of the two Children of Fate had given him some ideas, but he erased those plans almost as soon as they arose. How could Tang Gou possibly let go after seeing two Children of Fate at once? He would definitely watch them even more closely.

Tang Gou: How could I let a son-in-law like this and a daughter's best friend like this slip away? Heh heh heh.

Unless he found some way to block the God Realm's sight or make the God of Destruction pick a fight with Tang Gou.

But he could not do any of that right now, so he could only settle for planning around the immortal herbs.

The Children of Fate had encountered changes. Those immortal herbs would sooner or later undergo changes as well. To prevent unforeseen delays...

"My previous life was like walking on thin ice. This life has only made things worse. I truly don't know when I'll reach the other shore."
