Long Xingyu's Abandonment! Setting Up Demonic Beasts, Cutting Weeds and Eliminating Roots!

Odin Town.

Outside the town, on a forest path.

Long Xuanye carried a heavy bundle of firewood on his back, his steps light and quick.

The weight on his shoulders was considerable, making his bones creak slightly, but he was in good spirits.

The mountain wind blew past, carrying the freshness of the leaves and wiping away the light sweat from his temples.

His thoughts drifted with the wind, heading towards a more distant place.

He was not originally from this world.

A transmigrator from the Azure Planet, his current identity was the twin brother of Long Haochen from the novel Throne of Seal.

According to the established trajectory, they should have been living a poor and meager life, relying on each other in this remote border town.

But that man, Long Xingyu, had found them two whole years earlier than in the original story.

The family was finally reunited.

As a transmigrator with a mind far more mature than his peers, Long Xuanye had long ago started basic training with his younger brother, Long Haochen, at the Knight Temple.

Their lives had become much more comfortable. His mother, Bai Yue, smiled more often, and he and Haochen no longer had to reserve every last drop of the precious Essence Cultivation Liquid for her.

However, just thinking about Long Xingyu...

A sense of helplessness washed over Long Xuanye.

He couldn't feel any closeness towards this nominal "father" of his, maintaining only superficial respect.

The foresight of a transmigrator made him acutely aware of the man's true thoughts.

From the very beginning, Long Xingyu had never treated him and his brother as his own sons.

The bloodline of the Demon God Emperor.

These four words weighed on the man's heart like a mountain, also pressing down on him, making him paranoid and twisted.

Cultivate him and his brother into talented individuals, and then what?

Send them to fight and kill their own father, the Demon God Emperor.

Long Xuanye looked speechless.

What a brainless idea.

Long Xingyu was truly the same as in the original work, paranoid and cold.

If he had a problem in his own head, he had to insist that his children weren't his own. In the novel, he had even ignored Long Haochen, the rising star representing humanity's future, when he was in dire straits multiple times...

Just then.

A dazzling light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Within the light, a line of text slowly emerged.

[God-Tier Choice System triggered]

Within the light, two new lines of text reappeared.

[Choice 1: Take the firewood home. Reward: External Spirit Power +1000 points.]

[Choice 2: Throw away the firewood and wait in the forest until nightfall to go home. Reward: Innate Inner Spiritual Power +1 point.]

In an instant.

Long Xuanye's face turned pale.

This system, named "God-Tier Choice," was the golden finger he had awakened several years ago.

And it had one ironclad rule.

The more generous the reward, the greater the danger that usually accompanied the choice.

Long Xuanye still remembered the scene when the system first awakened.

On that day, two options were clearly laid out before him.

One was to stay at home, with a reward of Innate Inner Spiritual Power +1 point.

The other was to go to the neighboring town to shop, with a reward of Innate Inner Spiritual Power +20 points.

A twenty-fold difference.

After a moment's thought, he chose the former.

"Life is only once. With such a huge difference in rewards, there must be a trick."

As it turned out, his caution had saved his life.

Not long after, dire news arrived.

The neighboring town had been raided by a small group of demons, the entire city annihilated, and no one survived.

From that moment on, Long Xuanye had thoroughly understood the system's temperament.

And now...

His gaze was fixed on the light screen before him.

One thousand points of External Spirit Power…

One point of Innate Inner Spiritual Power…

The difference in rewards was more than just worlds apart!

This meant—

Returning home was fraught with immense danger!

Long Xuanye was instantly dumbfounded.

A chill shot up from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.

What was at home?

His mother, Bai Yue, who treated him as her own, gentle and kind.

His brother, Long Haochen, connected by blood, who was incredibly close to him.

They were the family he cherished most in this life.

How could he possibly stand by and watch them get into trouble while he hid in the woods to survive?

Long Xuanye subconsciously brought up his status panel.

[Name: Long Xuanye]
[External Spirit Power: 107 (Quasi-Knight)]
[Innate Inner Spiritual Power: 87 (Unawakened)]
[Mastered Skills: Thrust (Mastered), Sweep Slash (Mastered), Pure White Blade (Proficient), Guard (Proficient)...]

Over the past few years, he had accumulated his current strength through countless cautious choices.

Although he hadn't undergone Divine Awakening, in terms of basic Knight combat techniques, he already far surpassed his peers.

But this strength seemed utterly laughable compared to the "one thousand points of External Spirit Power" reward the System had given.

This reward was practically a clear indication.

Going back meant certain death!

No.

That wasn't right.

At home...

There was still that man.

Long Xingyu!

Although he didn't have true fatherly affection for him and Haochen, he was genuinely devoted to his mother, Bai Yue.

With that man's strength, who in all of Odin Town could harm his mother and Haochen in the slightest?

The Demon Race?

That was a joke.

He was a Seal Knight!

So... the immense danger the System warned of wasn't directed at his mother and brother at all.

It was directed at me!

That's good! That's good!

Long Xingyu must have taken Bai Yue and Long Haochen away from home temporarily, so as long as I don't go back, I'll be fine.

Long Xuanye's mindset immediately stabilized.

Crackle.

He threw the firewood on his shoulder onto the ground and walked into the depths of the dense forest without hesitation.

The light screen before him quietly shifted the moment he made his choice.

On his status panel, the number representing Innate Inner Spiritual Power ticked up slightly.

Nightfall quietly descended.

Odin Town.

In that familiar wooden house, the lights were not yet lit.

Long Xingyu stood by the window, hands behind his back, his posture as straight as a sword. Moonlight spilled onto him but couldn't penetrate his deep, somber eyes.

His gaze fell upon the bed.

Bai Yue and Long Haochen lay quietly, their breathing steady, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

He had used a special technique to temporarily knock them unconscious.

Long Xingyu's gaze was indifferent, devoid of any warmth.

The Demon God Emperor's bloodline... it couldn't be wrong.

For the past two years, he had been observing constantly.

Haochen, this child, had a pure heart and unparalleled talent, a perfect, uncarved jade.

With a little refinement, he would become the sharpest blade in my hand.

A blade sharp enough to pierce the Demon God Emperor's heart.

But that Long Xuanye...

Long Xingyu's gaze shifted to the empty doorway.

That child's cunning was so deep, he didn't seem like a child at all.

The way he looked at me always carried a hint of undisguised wariness and scrutiny.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"This child... must not be kept."

Long Xingyu murmured to himself.

Although Long Xuanye's talent was inferior to Haochen's, it far surpassed ordinary people. If allowed to grow, he would surely become a major threat.

He had already set a trap. As soon as Long Xuanye stepped into the house, he would cripple his Spiritual Power and eliminate the future trouble.

Then, he would take Bai Yue and Haochen to the Temple Alliance and begin his true plan.

Time trickled by, moment by moment.

The moon rose to its zenith.

Then it began to set.

One night passed.

No familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.

Long Xuanye had not returned.

Long Xingyu's brow furrowed slightly.

The sky turned from fish-belly white to dawn.

The last shred of patience in Long Xingyu's eyes vanished with it.

"Fine."

"A good-for-nothing with only a dozen points of External Spirit Power."

Before this, Long Xuanye had never revealed his extra enhancements obtained through the System, as he couldn't explain them.

In Long Xingyu's eyes, that "rebellious son" was, at most, only slightly stronger than Long Haochen at this moment.

He let out a soft snort.

In this remote border town, he had already made arrangements.

Cutting off all supplies and removing the protection of his family.

How could a child with no strength to even kill a chicken survive?

Within three days, he would surely starve to death on the streets, or become food for the beasts in the forest.

He no longer thought about it. He bent down and picked up Bai Yue from the bed, and with his other hand, he gently waved, a soft Spiritual Power lifting Long Haochen, suspending him beside him.

The next moment, his figure turned into a barely visible phantom, silently passing through the wooden house.

However, a few minutes later.

Long Xingyu's figure reappeared, a vicious glint in his eyes.

In the original plan, he would cripple Long Xuanye and then let him starve. Now that the plan had gone awry, Long Xingyu decided to make amends.

He casually tossed a completely black Demonic Beast with crimson eyes onto the ground.

It was a hungry Shadow Leopard, on the verge of a rampage.

Its strength was at the peak of the first tier. Even an excellent Knight squire with less than eighty points of External Spirit Power would surely die if they encountered it!

Only now did Long Xingyu seem to have unburdened himself, letting out a long sigh.

The Demon God Emperor's bloodline must be eradicated completely.
