Innate Merit Emperor Destiny!

There was no helping it! Miao Ke'er was simply too alluring!

Zi Yu had to admit it! At this moment, Miao Ke'er was far more tempting than Ling Qingzhu and Gu Xun'er!

Of course, that was only for now. In a few years, it would be the other way around.

So if he stayed any longer, he could not guarantee that he would be able to restrain himself.

After what was practically an escape, the system's voice rang out in Zi Yu's mind.

"Tsk! Tsk!... Great Host! You're acting a little unlike a man here. You won't even eat meat that's delivered right to your mouth?..."

Hearing the system's provocative words, Zi Yu rolled his eyes at it irritably. "System! Do you take me for one of those guys who only think with their lower halves? And how do you even know such phrases?..."

After saying that, Zi Yu looked at the system with a trace of scrutiny.

To be honest, he was now beginning to suspect that this system might have something to do with Earth from his previous life.

Otherwise, why would its words and tone sound so familiar?

He had asked the system about its origins before, but it had remained tight-lipped on the matter!

It only said that the time had not yet come, and that he would naturally find out when it did.

On the other hand, noticing Zi Yu's gaze, the system remained nonchalant. "Great Host! Aren't there many men in this world who like thinking with their lower halves? After all, if you can do it, don't waste your breath!"

Zi Yu smiled faintly. "Hehe! This Young Master is different from them! The people you're talking about are nothing but trash, a bunch of hopeless fools! They treat their brains as mere decorations! If I were like them, would you have chosen me?..."

Hearing this, the system lightly agreed, "True!..."

But in the next second, the system came to its senses. "No! Wait!... Great Host! Why do I feel like you're showing off...?"

"You're imagining things!..."

Zi Yu said blandly with a perfectly straight face.

More than half a year passed without anyone noticing!

During this time, Zi Yu had not only successfully cultivated the Profound Heaven Creation Scripture to the fourth level, but also raised his alchemy skills to the third-grade realm. At the same time, his cultivation had reached the peak of Nine-Star Dou Master, and he could break through to the Dou Master realm at any moment.

This day!

Zi Yu was practicing a Dou Skill in the Origin World within the Dragon Phoenix Yin Yang Bracelet.

He glanced at his right palm, then at the broad stretch of low ground not far ahead, and murmured softly, "This Golden Flame Palm is fairly powerful! As expected of an Earth Tier Dou Technique!"

If Zi Yu's words were heard by others in the Jia Ma Empire, they would definitely curse him out!

"An Earth Tier Dou Technique! In your eyes, it's merely fairly powerful? Do you even know what you're saying?"

"That is an Earth Tier Dou Technique! There are only a few in the entire Jia Ma Empire. The only ones possessing Earth Tier Dou Techniques are the Jia Ma Empire's imperial family and the only sect within its borders—the Misty Cloud Sect—and even those are merely Earth Tier Low Rank!"

"Such a treasure! Yet in your eyes, it's only passable? Barely worth looking at? Do you have to show off this much?..."

In truth, only Dou Skills at Earth Tier and above could catch Zi Yu's eye.

Not to mention Earth Tier Dou Techniques, he even possessed several Heaven Tier Techniques and Fighting Skills.

So he truly was not putting on an act. It really was how he felt.

Who told him that Young Master Zi Yu was so well-off?

Though he could not compare to the top forces of the Dou Qi Continent, much less those Ancient Races, he still surpassed countless people and factions.

At the very least, no one on the Northwest Continent was wealthier than him!

After finishing his practice of the Golden Flame Palm, Zi Yu calculated the time. Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, and Miao Ke'er should be returning from outside soon.

As for their safety, he did not need to worry in the slightest.

Because over the past half year, it was not only he who had improved—the three women had improved as well.

Moreover, he had spent another twenty thousand Merit Points to purchase some Profound Tier High Rank Techniques and Fighting Skills from the System Mall for them to cultivate.

Among the three women, Gu Xun'er was still at the Five-Star Dou Master realm, while Ling Qingzhu and Miao Ke'er had reached Four-Star Dou Master. All of them possessed several powerful Profound Tier High Rank Dou Skills, and even Earth Tier Dou Techniques.

With such an impressive setup, even ordinary low-level Da Dou Shi would not be their opponents, let alone in all of Hidden Moon Town, where the strongest cultivator was merely a Three-Star Dou Master—utterly incomparable to the three women.

Furthermore, Dongfang Jing, a Dou Saint powerhouse, was secretly watching over and protecting them.

Thus, Zi Yu was not worried about the three women's safety at all.

However! Just as Zi Yu emerged from the Dragon Phoenix Yin Yang Bracelet's world, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

"Ding-dong! A sign-in mission has now been issued. Please proceed to Wutan City to sign in. Time limit: three months. Reward unknown!..."

Hearing this, the corner of Zi Yu's mouth twitched!

"System! Are you serious about this sign-in mission? If I remember correctly, at this point in time, Xiao Yan, the Son of Destiny, has already fallen into the lowest point of his cultivation life. His cultivation has been absorbed by Yao Chen, leaving him stuck at Three Stages of Dou Qi. What's the point of going there now?"

After Zi Yu finished speaking, the system's voice sounded once again.

"In reply to Great Host, it is precisely because Xiao Yan is currently at a low point. As the saying goes, when Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility upon a man, it must first burden his mind with suffering, strain his bones and muscles, expose him to hunger and poverty, deprive him of comfort, and disrupt his every endeavor. Only then can it strengthen his resolve and increase his abilities.

Therefore, Wutan City's fortune is at its strongest right now. If Great Host can complete the sign-in mission within the allotted time, the reward will be quite substantial! You will also benefit greatly!"

Hearing this, the corner of Zi Yu's mouth twitched again!

"System! So what you're saying is that all the hardships I endured in my previous life were so I could meet you now?"

"That's right! Yes, Great Host. Although you endured many hardships in your previous life, you also accumulated considerable merit. In particular, your final actions directly earned you boundless fortune and merit!

You now possess an Innate Merit Emperor Destiny!

That is why I chose you!"

Hearing the system's final words, Zi Yu was slightly stunned!

"Innate Merit Emperor Destiny! What is that?..."

He had heard of concepts such as destinies in novels and television dramas in his previous life.

Things like the Ziwei Destiny, Blessed Virtue Destiny, Seven Killings Destiny, Wealth and Honor Destiny, and Army-Breaking Destiny.

He knew a little about all of them, but what the hell was an Innate Merit Emperor Destiny?

As Zi Yu stood there with a puzzled expression, the system said calmly, "The so-called Innate Merit Emperor Destiny is a supreme imperial destiny that combines the merits of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity into one! It transcends karma and is unaffected by fate!

Those who possess this destiny are destined to become supreme sovereigns! Moreover, they will crush all other imperial destinies!"
