The God-Level Lottery System and Fang Lingtian, the Third Young Master
A month later.
The Gu Clan.
The Dao Evolution Hall.
Gu Xuanjin sat in the center of the hall, aloof from worldly affairs.
Vast silver-white sword radiance swirled around him.
It filled the entire hall with a fierce, cutting sharpness.
The Qi around him was immensely powerful.
Although he had focused on the laws of the sword Dao for the past three or four months,
he had not neglected his cultivation and had already reached the fifth level of the Dao Integration Realm.
The system's cold voice suddenly rang out.
[The system has detected the arrival of the 'God-Level Lottery System' in this world.] [It has bound itself to the host 'Fang Lingtian'.] [The host can obtain the other system's origin by eradicating 'Fang Lingtian'.]
Gu Xuanjin's eyes flickered.
"A system owner? Is this person the new protagonist?"
[The worldline is being adjusted. The Heavenly Dao has yet to bestow fortune, and 'Fang Lingtian' does not have a protagonist's destiny.]
A flicker of regret passed through Gu Xuanjin's eyes.
He pondered for a moment.
"System, what do we do if the 'God-Level Lottery System' is more advanced than you?"
[This system stands above all the heavens, coexists with the 'Dao', is supreme and unique, and is absolutely immortal.]
There seemed to be a hint of pride and domineering confidence in the system's cold, mechanical voice.
At his current cultivation, Gu Xuanjin could not fully understand just what realm the system's words referred to.
But he could tell what it meant.
Its standing was just like his among the younger generation of the Three Thousand Dao Domains.
In short, it was invincible!
"What if Fang Lingtian directly draws a supreme-grade immortal weapon,
or an immortal summoning card or something like that?
It seems we wouldn't be able to do anything to him either."
[Rest assured, host. The other system does not currently have enough energy to draw high-level items of that kind. If anything unexpected happens, this system will naturally not stand by and watch the host fall into danger.]
The system's words put Gu Xuanjin's mind at ease.
Since the system had spoken,
and had also said it would cover him if things went wrong,
he would not let Fang Lingtian go, whether he was a protagonist or not.
"System, can you directly locate Fang Lingtian?"
[The host can spend ten million Villain Points to pinpoint his location and view the specific information on the 'God-Level Lottery System' and 'Fang Lingtian'.]
"I can view their information too? But why is it so expensive?"
[Invading the other system requires considerable resources and is not covered by the free service.]
Gu Xuanjin frowned slightly.
He had barely touched the ninety million Villain Points he had received for dealing with Xiao Han.
Spending a ninth of them in one go made him reluctant to part with them.
"System,
if I don't look at their information
and only find his approximate location within a Dao Domain,
how many Villain Points would a rough location like that cost?"
[Three million Villain Points.]
"That I can accept."
[Three million Villain Points have been deducted.] [Fang Lingtian's current location: northern Youxuan Dao Domain, Azure Cloud Ancient Kingdom.]
Seeing that Fang Lingtian was in the Youxuan Dao Domain,
Gu Xuanjin directly connected with Dugu Yunyan, the evil-thought incarnation he had left to roam freely there.
Gu Xuanjin flicked a finger.
Ripples spread through the void before him, and a moment later, an image formed.
In the image,
a handsome youth who bore some resemblance to Gu Xuanjin
was holding a banner wreathed in black Qi and absorbing souls.
Before him
was a small sect that had been wiped out.
Corpses lay everywhere, and a thick stench of blood hung in the air.
Dugu Yunyan was slightly taken aback when Gu Xuanjin suddenly connected with him.
"Original self?"
"You've reached the seventh level of the Divine Ability Realm in just four months.
The Human Emperor Banner has also reached the quasi-divine weapon level.
Well done."
Gu Xuanjin sensed Dugu Yunyan's Qi and was fairly satisfied.
"Are you still in the Youxuan Dao Domain?"
Dugu Yunyan nodded lightly.
"I'm still in the Youxuan Dao Domain for now.
But I'm at the border of a place in the north called the Azure Cloud Ancient Kingdom.
I heard a quasi-emperor's legacy was about to emerge here,
so I came to test the waters.
It would naturally be best if I could get some treasures.
Even if I don't get anything,
at worst, I can replenish the Human Emperor Banner with some souls."
A trace of surprise crossed Gu Xuanjin's face.
"A quasi-emperor's legacy?
I've been in seclusion all this time,
so I haven't paid much attention to news from outside.
Still,
I didn't expect you to be in the Azure Cloud Ancient Kingdom.
That works out, then. Have you ever heard the name 'Fang Lingtian'?"
"No."
Dugu Yunyan thought back for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
Gu Xuanjin was not too disappointed.
Since Dugu Yunyan had spent several months in the Youxuan Dao Domain without hearing of Fang Lingtian,
the man was either a disciple of a major power who had yet to emerge into the world,
or an obscure nobody.
And since he was in the Azure Cloud Ancient Kingdom,
he would probably enter the quasi-emperor's legacy when it emerged to seek opportunities.
After pondering for a while,
Gu Xuanjin said calmly,
"I'll come for this quasi-emperor's legacy too,
but I'll need another four or five days.
Keep an eye out over the next few days.
If you run into Fang Lingtian, sound him out.
Don't risk your life. He's not simple, so it would be best if you can keep him there.
If you can't, that's fine too."
He needed to break through to the seventh level of the Dao Integration Realm over the next few days and could not leave for the Youxuan Dao Domain immediately.
"I understand."
Although Dugu Yunyan was a little surprised, he did not ask any further questions.
Gu Xuanjin then ended the connection.
The Qi around him surged as he began circulating his cultivation technique.
Dugu Yunyan, meanwhile, continued absorbing the souls from the corpses.
He had gotten into a conflict with the son of the sect's leader.
The man had then sent people to hunt him down.
In the end, Dugu Yunyan had no choice but to send the entire sect down to reunite with them.
While the two were busy,
within the Azure Cloud Ancient Kingdom,
in a small town near the border,
a plaque bearing the words "Fang Residence" hung outside a grand and imposing manor.
In the courtyard,
a youth of fifteen or sixteen, with sword-like brows and starry eyes and dressed in ordinary clothes,
watched coldly as the servant before him shouted orders, arrogant and overbearing.
His name was Fang Lingtian.
He had just transmigrated into the Xuanhuan Great World
and had also bound himself to the "God-Level Lottery System."
He had been given a ten-draw right at the start.
The drop rate was truly high, and he had drawn quite a few good things.
He had obtained cultivation techniques, pills, divine weapons, and more.
The one flaw in the beauty was his identity.
He was merely the third young master of a small family in a small town on the very edge of a small kingdom.
His mother was only a maidservant,
and his father had conceived him after getting drunk.
On top of that, he was a good-for-nothing born unable to cultivate.
He had suffered endless cold stares in the family.
Even a mere servant did not take him seriously.
That servant had just been even more brazen,
actually ordering Fang Lingtian to hand over the pills issued to him each month for cultivation.
Then he had demanded that Fang Lingtian wash every item of clothing in the residence.
He had even threatened Fang Lingtian,
saying that if he did not wash them, he would get a taste of fists as big as sandbags.
Things like this had happened plenty of times before.
But the present Fang Lingtian was no longer the Fang Lingtian of old.
Naturally, he would not indulge this servant.
"Do you still think this young master is the same good-for-nothing you could bully as you pleased?"
With a cold laugh,
Fang Lingtian unleashed a series of punches.
The wind from his fists howled fiercely, like a ferocious tiger.
The beating left the servant black and blue, kneeling and kowtowing as he begged for mercy.
Not far away,
a youth dressed in splendid brocade robes, whose features bore some resemblance to Fang Lingtian's,
came storming over.
"Fang Lingtian, how dare you! You actually dared to hit my man?!"
