Three Years' Pact

"Dao Child Senior Brother, I know, I know."

At this moment, a core disciple of Tianyuan Academy, who looked like a busybody, quickly said.

"This young man who came to our Tianyuan Academy is named Xiao Yan, and he has a personal grudge with our Tianyuan Academy's core disciple Ye Muqing."

"Personal grudge?"

Gu Changge was a little confused, but he felt that this plot sounded familiar.

"That's right. This Ye Muqing and the young man who came to the gates of Tianyuan Academy to provoke us, Xiao Yan, were engaged to be married before they were even born."

"That Xiao Yan is the young master of the Xiao family from an ordinary county town in a small city within the Lingxu Divine Dynasty. Ye Muqing is the daughter of the Ye family from the county town. Their grandfathers were brothers who went through thick and thin together, so they made an agreement that if their descendants were a boy and a girl, they would set up a marriage engagement."

"In Xiao Yan's generation, it happened to be a boy and a girl, and coupled with Xiao Yan's decent talent, the engagement was set when they were both twelve years old."

"Who knew that when Xiao Yan was sixteen, his cultivation suddenly stagnated, and he became a cripple in everyone's eyes. Thus, Ye Muqing's family, the Ye family, forcefully came to their door and forced Xiao Yan to break the engagement."

"This Xiao Yan was not to be trifled with either. He directly made a three-year pact with the Ye family. After three years, he would have a battle with Ye Muqing. If he lost, the engagement would be broken. If he won, he would divorce Ye Muqing."

The core disciple narrated eloquently.

"I didn't expect you to know so much."

Gu Changge said.

"Hehe, not at all. Because my family is in the same county town as Senior Sister Muqing, I understand it in such detail."

The core disciple chuckled and said.

At this moment, the System suddenly sent a prompt.

"Ding, detected Son of Destiny, System updating."

"Ding, update complete."

Gu Changge then opened his personal information and found that it had changed.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for triggering the Destiny Mission: Eliminate/Subdue the Son of Destiny Xiao Yan (0/1)."

"System, what are Destiny Treasures? And what is a Son of Destiny?"

Gu Changge asked the System silently in his mind.

"Ding, the Son of Destiny is a person born in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, possessing the ability to lead the entire plane and contend for Destiny. All Emperors throughout history were Sons of Destiny."

"Destiny Treasures are exclusive treasures of the Son of Destiny, more precious than Emperor Grade Top Rank items."

The System replied.

"How many Sons of Destiny are there in a plane?"

Gu Changge asked again.

"A plane generally has two to three Sons of Destiny. Before the Emperor's Road opens, the Sons of Destiny in each plane will first compete for first place within their own plane, leading the entire plane, and then duel with the Sons of Destiny from other Myriad Worlds to determine the final victor, seize Destiny, and become an Emperor."

"So, does that mean the candidates for Emperor are all predetermined by heaven?" Gu Changge said.

"Ding, basically that's how it is. But if someone else kills the Son of Heaven's Mandate, they can inherit it, obtain the Heaven's Mandate treasure, and become the Son of Heaven's Mandate."

After asking the System, Gu Changge shifted his attention to the Son of Heaven's Mandate, Xiao Yan, and the core disciple of Tianyuan Academy, Ye Muqing.

At this moment, Gu Changge noticed a "Viewable" option on Xiao Yan.

Gu Changge clicked it.

Son of Heaven's Mandate: Xiao Yan

Realm: Marrow Cleansing Realm, Fourth Layer

Physique: Swallowing Flame Body

Destiny Value: 500

Heaven's Mandate Treasure: Flame Swallowing Pot

"System, what is this Destiny Value?" Gu Changge asked.

"Ding, Destiny Value is something only the Son of Heaven's Mandate possesses. The lower the Destiny Value, the lower the Son of Heaven's Mandate's luck. Only when the Destiny Value drops to zero can the Son of Heaven's Mandate be killed and drop the Heaven's Mandate treasure," the System said.

"Then how can I lower the Son of Heaven's Mandate's Destiny Value?" Gu Changge asked again.

"You just need to constantly suppress the Son of Heaven's Mandate."

"How do I suppress him?"

"Steal the Son of Heaven's Mandate's women, seize the Son of Heaven's Mandate's opportunities, and destroy the Son of Heaven's Mandate's family and friends," the System said.

"System, killing a Son of Heaven's Mandate is so troublesome. Did the previous Emperors have to do this to become the Son of Heaven's Mandate?" Gu Changge couldn't help but think to himself.

"No, they only needed to kill the Son of Heaven's Mandate. However, if the Host directly kills the Son of Heaven's Mandate, you won't become the Son of Heaven's Mandate, because the Host is the unique variable in these Myriad Worlds, and the only hope for the Myriad Worlds."

the System said.

"How about it, Ye Muqing, do you dare to come out and fight me?" At this moment, Xiao Yan said with a serious expression.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Ye Muqing came from the peak where the inner disciples resided to the outermost mountain gate of Tianyuan Academy and said.
