The Treatment of a Child of Destiny

"What should I write in today's diary? Right, I'll write about him—the undisputed Child of Destiny of this era, Huo Yuhao."

With a thought from Lin Ye, neat lines of writing appeared in the Golden Diary in his mind.

[Today's diary will talk about the Child of Destiny of this era, Huo Yuhao.

Without a doubt, Huo Yuhao was the heaven-appointed Child of Destiny of this era. No wonder Sea God Tang San had his eyes fixed so firmly on him.

After all, Tang San's plan was to seize the fate of the entire Douluo Continent by controlling this Child of Destiny, thereby securing his position in the God Realm.]

At this point, Lin Ye could not help raising an eyebrow. His urge to mock the situation grew stronger, and with another thought, more words rapidly appeared.

[Speaking of Huo Yuhao, he really was an unusual fellow. His Innate Soul Power was only rank one. In the entire Soul Master world, that made him a certified piece of trash.

In this lifetime, reaching Soul Grandmaster would already have been cause for celebration. But he was a Child of Destiny, so normal cultivation rules simply did not apply to him. Once luck came knocking, no one could stop it.

After escaping the White Tiger Duke's Estate, he stumbled all the way into the Star Dou Forest. He nearly lost half his life before finally killing a Wind Baboon with ten years of cultivation.

Huo Yuhao had already prepared himself to absorb that Ten-Year Soul Ring and become the most ordinary of Soul Masters.

But what happened? The one-and-only Million-Year Soul Beast on the entire continent, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, came looking for him on its own. He practically begged to become Huo Yuhao's Wisdom Soul Ring and even promised to help him cultivate all the way to godhood.

Was that the end of it? When pie fell from the sky, even one piece was enough to feed an ordinary person for a lifetime. But for a Child of Destiny, the pieces just kept raining straight into his arms.

He had barely taken in the Million-Year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm when he came across a fragment of Electrolux's Divine Sense.

Electrolux was no insignificant figure. He was a Demigod from another world—the Holy Necromancer.

The Demigods of his world were on a completely different level from those on the Douluo Continent. His true strength could even rival a proper God Official of the Douluo God Realm.

A genuine Demigod whose power stood shoulder to shoulder with true Deities.

And just like that, such a powerful figure fell into Huo Yuhao's hands and became yet another one of his trump cards.

]

Wang Dong'er, who had been going door to door in the Outer City of the Clear Sky Sect to investigate stewards surnamed Lin, abruptly stopped. Her attention was completely drawn into the diary's contents.

She had not expected the Child of Destiny's starting point to be so absurd. With only rank-one Innate Soul Power, he had successively gained the favor of a Million-Year Soul Beast and a Demigod from another world, all while being manipulated by Sea God Tang San behind the scenes.

For a moment, her gaze toward the diary grew even more fervent. Compared to a Child of Destiny like Huo Yuhao, who was being controlled by others, the diary's owner was the one truly capable of rewriting fate.

She had to find him faster. Only by getting her name into the diary more often could she obtain enough power to break free from the fate of being a chess piece.

In the core region of the Star Dou Forest, the Emperor Auspicious Beast was lying by the lake, grooming her fur. When she saw the diary's contents, her golden vertical pupils abruptly contracted.

Having lived in the Star Dou Forest year-round, she naturally knew of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. The current Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was practically a cultivation experience pack for the Ferocious Beasts, yet it had unexpectedly ended up in the hands of the Child of Destiny.

For a moment, the Emperor Auspicious Beast felt a little more wary of this Child of Destiny.

In the deepest reaches of the Far North, within the Ice Temple covered year-round in ancient ice.

Ice Empress, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, had originally been reading the diary in her mind with great interest, watching Lin Ye ridicule Huo Yuhao's outrageous luck like an entertained bystander.

But when she saw what came next, she shot up from her throne. Her ice-blue hair flared outward in an instant, the temperature around her plummeted to freezing, and the ancient ice throughout the temple began cracking with sharp sounds.

Lin Ye's diary had written about her.

[You think that was the end? No, no, no. How could the path of a Child of Destiny be so simple?

After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm became Huo Yuhao's first Soul Ring—the Wisdom Soul Ring—it directly created a Second Martial Soul for him out of thin air, forcibly turning him into someone with Twin Martial Souls.

Tell me, where was the justice in that? Ordinary people might not awaken even one decent Martial Soul in their entire lives, while he gained another one after a single nap.

And that wasn't all. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had long laid out his plans, creating some so-called God-Making Plan. Its goal was to raise Huo Yuhao all the way to godhood.

That way, it could hitch a ride along with him and rise from a Soul Beast hunted for a million years into a true Beast God.

Of course, it could not accomplish this plan alone. It had long selected Huo Yuhao's second "gift," namely his second Soul Ring.

Its target was set directly on Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, Ice Empress, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.]

Ice Empress's mind buzzed, and her entire body froze in place.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm? She knew that name all too well.

That disgusting bug had come to the Far North more than once to court her. But the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm clan was naturally the food of her Ice Jade Empress Scorpion species. How could she possibly have feelings for her own food?

She had always thought that pathetic weakling had died in some unknown corner long ago. Yet not only was it alive, it had become a Million-Year Soul Beast and even intended to become the Soul Ring of that rank-one good-for-nothing named Huo Yuhao?

This flood of information sounded like utter fantasy. Even Ice Empress, who had lived for nearly four hundred thousand years and seen countless storms, could not help showing a stunned expression that seemed to say, Are you joking?

Even the most absurd storybook could not make up a plot like this!

But what enraged her most was not that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still alive. It was that this damned bug had actually set its sights on her, intending to make her the second Soul Ring of some human brat she had never met, whose Innate Soul Power was only rank one.

"Damned bug!"

Ice Empress gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath. Her ice-blue eyes brimmed with chilling killing intent, and the cold aura around her nearly froze the entire temple solid.

She had lived for nearly four hundred thousand years and ruled the Far North. When had anyone ever plotted against her like this? And by a bug she had always regarded as food, no less!

Fortunately, she quickly suppressed her surging fury and stared fixedly at the golden words continuing to refresh in her mind. She wanted to see exactly what other schemes that damned bug had—and how she had ultimately "gotten on board" so muddleheadedly.

[I truly can't understand how Ice Empress ended up on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's pirate ship so muddleheadedly.

But Ice Empress was about to face her four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation. Surviving it would be extremely difficult; her chances were almost one in ten. That was probably the main reason.

Sigh, it really was a little surreal. A piece of trash with only rank-one Innate Soul Power first obtained a Million-Year Soul Ring, then gained the Divine Sense of a Demigod from another world residing within him.

Then, in the blink of an eye, he acquired Ice Empress's sacrificed Second Martial Soul, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, along with an almost four-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

If that wasn't cheating, then tell me, what was?

Wait...

It seemed like I was cheating too, and my cheat seemed even more overpowered than Huo Yuhao's.

Then never mind.]

After writing that, Lin Ye stretched, rose from his wicker chair, and could not stop the corners of his mouth from lifting.

At that moment, everyone holding a Diary Copy was shaken upon reading the diary's final line: "My cheat is even bigger than Huo Yuhao's."

They had already witnessed the diary's heaven-defying rewards, so they naturally knew those words were no boast.

For a time, everyone shared the same thought: they had to think of every possible way to cross paths with the diary's owner and get their names mentioned in the diary more often.

Within the Ice Temple of the Far North, Ice Empress's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

Not only had she learned in advance of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's scheme, she had also learned of this heaven-defying diary—and of its owner, who could see through the future and possessed an absurdly powerful cheat.

Compared with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's flawed little plan, this mysterious diary owner was clearly the person truly capable of changing her fate.

A cold curve rose at the corner of her lips, and a trace of determination flashed through her ice-blue eyes. A brand-new idea had already formed in her heart.
