Tian Mucheng: It Would Be Nice to Have a System

"Living Dead Physique?"

Mo Yan stared at Tian Mucheng suspiciously, as if trying to see right through him. She frowned slightly and carefully looked him over from head to toe again, silently wondering, Could it be that the old Holy Lord was trying to tease him again?

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

"In other words..." Mo Yan quickly grasped what the Living Dead Physique meant. "Those people up there can't see you right now, can they?"

"That's right. But once I absorb enough fortune to improve my body, I'll become a tempting prize in their eyes."

Tian Mucheng nodded. He had not expected Mo Yan, who usually looked so lazy, to actually have a pretty sharp mind.

"In that case... we need to keep the fortune for now. We can't give it all to you."

"That is indeed what we should do, just in case."

"Ugh~ What a hassle!"

Mo Yan sighed. Why did everything have to be so troublesome?

She had originally planned to disgust Shrek Academy and then run off, but now that the Holy Lord's physique was like this, her purpose for going to Shrek had to change.

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

Hehehe.

After thinking for a moment, Tian Mucheng decided to bring up his plan for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. "Should we start making plans for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

"Are you insane?" Mo Yan's lazy expression instantly vanished, replaced by pure shock. "I remember there's Dog God's Consciousness there. It'll be hard for us to get it unless..."

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

Tian Mucheng nodded. Just as Mo Yan had thought, that was exactly what he intended to do.

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

Seeing Tian Mucheng like this, Mo Yan thought for a moment and decided to throw the problem to Jin Tianming, letting him choose for her. "Ask Jin Tianming what he thinks. If he agrees, I agree."

Without even thinking, Tian Mucheng opened the Mental Link and pulled them both in, beginning their first meeting.

Jin Tianming entered the Mental Link and looked at his original body in confusion. When he saw that his original body had merely gone white-haired, he set aside his worries. "Original body, you're awake? Don't be so reckless next time."

"Alright." Tian Mucheng nodded in agreement, though only he knew what he was truly thinking. Then he began explaining his plan to Jin Tianming.

Jin Tianming listened very seriously. Once his original body finished explaining the plan, he stroked his chin and fell into thought.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was indeed no small matter, and it contained a great deal of fortune. But if they obtained it...

At that thought, Jin Tianming looked at his original body. "What you're planning may not be appropriate. Who are you going to have store all that fortune?"

Mo Yan was going to Shrek Academy. She could not possibly bring a huge amount of fortune into that pyramid-scheme academy, or some dog would notice something was wrong and set its sights on her.

But his original body's cultivation had fallen to Level Seventeen. It was probably impossible for him to create a third clone at this stage.

Tian Mucheng naturally understood Jin Tianming's doubts and concerns, so he directly stated his plan. "I intend to have Xiao Xue and Dugu Yan store that fortune. It can also allow their cultivation to rapidly break through to Titled Douluo."

Mo Yan and Jin Tianming were both somewhat stunned as they looked at him. They had not expected their original body to be this bold!

"Will that really work?" Mo Yan was still worried. If the two Dragon Slaves could not bear that fortune, Tang Dog in the sky would still discover it.

After a brief moment of thought, Jin Tianming said solemnly, "If those two Dragon Slaves have trouble bearing the fortune, just transfer it to me. Before Huo Yuhao and Huo Yutong head to the Sun Moon Empire, Tang Dog won't pay excessive attention. He'll only assume that changes in Soul Tools caused the increase in fortune."

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

"What a pain."

Mo Yan complained after hearing that. It felt so complicated and troublesome. Fortunately, she did not need to deal with it for now. She was only there to scout the way.

Hearing Mo Yan's complaint, Tian Mucheng spread his hands helplessly. "There's no helping it. We don't have a system. If we did, we could cheat our way to glory like Huo Yuhao, without any 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 make plans slowly and gamble slowly.

He did not particularly 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.

"Exactly. It would be nice to have a system. Something that exists on that conceptual level wouldn't need so much planning and caution." Mo Yan agreed. She was simply too lazy. If this Holy Lord original body had not demanded it, she would not even want to go to Shrek Academy. She wanted to just lie around beside the Holy Lord.

She might as well be a lucky mascot.

Jin Tianming looked at Mo Yan speechlessly and said irritably, "If we had a system, do you think we'd even need to exist?"

"Alright, this topic ends here." Tian Mucheng truly did not want to discuss it any further. "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well isn't urgent. Although the Child of Fortune has changed, they still need time to grow. Our priority now is to establish a base for our faction."

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

The base of his own faction, the Immortal Hall, had to be built first. Only then would it be wise to plan for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Otherwise, where would they store the immortal herbs from the Yin Yang Well? If he stored them in his spiritual sea, one careless mistake might cause his head to explode.

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

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

Hearing that, Tian Mucheng nodded. "Next time, for sure!"

Jin Tianming: ...

He knew it. His original body had not listened at all. He shot Mo Yan, who was so lazy she looked half-dead, a warning glare before disconnecting the Mental Link.

He hoped Mo Yan could fulfill her responsibility.

Mo Yan naturally caught Jin Tianming's gaze. Of course she would keep an eye on the original body, provided she did not get fooled stupid by his mouth first.

Tian Mucheng disconnected the Mental Link 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 considering his life plan.

The appearance of the two Children of Fortune had given him some ideas, but he had erased those plans not long after forming them. Tang Dog had seen both Children of Fortune at once—how could he possibly let them go? He would definitely watch them even more closely.

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

Unless there was some way to block the God Realm, or make the God of Destruction go after Tang Dog.

But he could not do any of that right now, so he could only settle for the next best thing and begin planning for the immortal herbs.

The Children of Fortune had changed. Those immortal herbs would sooner or later undergo changes as well. Better safe than sorry.

"Throughout my past life, I walked on thin ice. In this life, it's only gotten worse. I truly don't know when I'll reach the other shore."
