Child of Destiny's Final Revelry, Main God Hall Contractor Chi Jun

Hearing Zuo Chunqiu's words, everyone fell silent.

If you didn't know, it was nothing—but once you did, it was terrifying.

Any one of the Primordial Sacred Land, the Jun Family, the First Central Empire, or the Nine Killers Palace was enough to make their heads ache and fill them with dread at the mere thought of facing it.

For a moment, they held no grudge against Dongfang Baitian, and even felt a trace of pity.

Too tragic!

Dongfang Baitian was too tragic.

One Dongfang Family, forced to face these four terrifying powers at once.

Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.

Zuo Chunqiu smiled again. "Besides, the condition for becoming acting Alliance Leader is based on who contributes the most. The young master never said we could only unify our own domain. We can conquer our own domain first, then attack others."

The others' eyes gradually lit up.

"Everyone, I've said my piece. Let's see who moves fastest. Farewell."

With that, Zuo Chunqiu also left.

Afterward, the rest discussed for a while. Some decided to go it alone, others chose to form alliances, and then they all departed.

Deep within the First Central Empire's imperial palace.

Lu Yuan sat quietly by the lake, lost in thought.

Unifying the Tianxiao Continent was nothing more than an insignificant move on his chessboard. His full attention was now on the Ancient Stone Tablet.

As time passed.

More and more people were drawn to the Ancient Stone Tablet. The Children of Destiny, synonymous with geniuses, naturally flocked from all corners of the Tianxiao Continent.

Calling up his panel, Lu Yuan checked the Children of Destiny who had arrived.

[Ding! Detected Children of Destiny ×93]

"Ninety-three. Even if each Child of Destiny only gives me two thousand Villain Value, that's close to one hundred ninety thousand. Kill their family, friends, masters, and lovers, and I should barely scrape together five hundred thousand Villain Value."

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered. The long-dormant killing intent within him stirred once more.

"Maybe it's time to make a move."

With that thought, Lu Yuan called up his personal panel.

[Heaven-Defying Villain: Lu Yuan]

[Identity: Eldest Young Master of the Immortal Lu Family, Chaos Divine Son...]

[Physique & Bloodline: Primeval Demonic Body, Supreme Demonic Heart, Eternal Demonic Pupils]

[Cultivation: Emperor-Sealing Immortal Peak]

[Villain Value:]

"Twelve thousand. Still need four hundred eighty-eight thousand."

Lu Yuan took a long breath, his gaze sharpening. "Then, let's begin."

The moment the words fell, Lu Yuan vanished from the lakeside.

Vanishing with him were the four Emperor-Sealing Guards, tasked with dealing with the small fry.

At the Ancient Stone Tablet.

For a hundred miles in every direction, the area was packed with people.

Figures of peerless prodigies flickered among the forests.

One by one, examinees stepped forward to touch the stone tablet, then left in disappointment.

By now, everyone was used to it.

During this time, tens of millions had participated in the trial—renowned peerless prodigies of their domains, ancient sacred land patriarchs long in seclusion, and current overlords in their prime. Yet among them all, only one had successfully made it onto the tablet.

And that person had reincarnated nine times, accumulated nine lifetimes of foundation, and only barely managed to Break Limit and scrape onto the list.

Just then.

Everyone suddenly felt a weight on their chests, as if heavenly might had descended, an inexplicable dread rising from the depths of their hearts.

The next second, as if sensing something, everyone looked up toward the sky.

There, five figures stood.

Four of them surrounded a central figure—a handsome young man in robes as white as snow, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

The young man was elegant and striking, his clear starry eyes flashing with piercing cold light. A faint, barely perceptible smile hung at the corner of his lips, and a hazy radiance surrounded him, like an immortal who had descended into the mortal world.

"Who are they?"

"Such terrifying auras. Even my family's King Realm ancestor isn't this terrifying."

"The most terrifying thing is that such a fearsome existence seems to be merely a guard for that exiled immortal youth."

"Heavens, could they have descended from the Upper Realm?"

"But I feel like they're not here with good intentions. Somewhere deep down, I have an extremely bad premonition."

Everyone murmured among themselves.

At that moment in the air, Lu Yuan coldly gazed down at the crowd below, like ants, and waved his hand, saying indifferently, "Kill them all. Leave no one alive."

The sea of people below was initially estimated to number over a million. Most were innocent, but among them were inevitably those with complicated ties to the Child of Destiny—relatives, elders, or friends.

Lu Yuan always acted on the principle of uprooting the weeds to eliminate the roots.

He had no time to distinguish, nor the patience to do so, so he simply went all the way and killed them all.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the four Emperor-Sealing Guards did not hesitate. Terrifying attacks began to rain down.

The crowd, which had been gossiping and watching the spectacle, instantly suffered countless casualties.

Under the pressure of the Emperor-Sealing realm, most couldn't even flee; they could only wait for death.

Lu Yuan also began to act.

With the system's prompts, he found the Children of Destiny with pinpoint accuracy—they had nowhere to hide.

To these Children of Destiny, Lu Yuan's terrifying strength was like a true dragon falling into a nest of snakes. A casual strike would kill one of them.

The system's notification sounds rang in his ears without pause.

Lu Yuan ignored them and continued the slaughter.

Suddenly, just as Lu Yuan was about to kill a Child of Destiny clad in a blood-red robe, he heard that Child of Destiny raise his head and roar in fury:

"Main God, save me! I'm willing to forgo all rewards from future trial worlds in exchange for support from a high-level contractor!"

Hearing those two words, so familiar they couldn't be more so, Lu Yuan couldn't help but show a stunned expression.

"Main God?!"

The next instant, a blue pillar of light, spanning heaven and earth, enveloped the Blood-Robed Youth. Then a red pillar of light descended out of nowhere, landing beside him.

From this red pillar of light stepped out a wild, unrestrained man with a head of fiery red hair, a bare upper body, and muscles knotted all over.

As soon as the man stepped out and sensed the auras of most people around him, he burst into laughter. "Haha, I never thought I'd run into a rescue mission like this, practically free rewards."

He turned to look at Xue Jiu, showing an expression of approval and admiration. "Kid, you did well. Remember, my name is Chi Jun. From now on, mention my name in the Main God Hall, and it'll save you once."

As he spoke, Chi Jun casually glanced in Lu Yuan's direction, and then his expression froze on his face.

Staring at Lu Yuan, Chi Jun looked as if he'd seen a ghost. He even rubbed his eyes vigorously with both hands.

While rubbing, he muttered to himself.

"Impossible, how could this be? Impossible, absolutely impossible. I couldn't possibly run into that god of slaughter!"

But when he lowered his hands and opened his eyes again, he found Lu Yuan still standing there, even looking at him with a faint, knowing smile.

Chi Jun didn't hesitate. His legs went weak, and he immediately knelt on the ground, prostrating himself before Lu Yuan, and shouted loudly:

"Chi Jun, a level-five contractor of the Main God Hall, pays respects to the Hunter!"
