"Young Master, although today's scheme of sowing discord is flawless, this old servant still has one thing that is unclear."
After leaving the prison, the figure of Old Ming appeared from the void, carrying a hint of confusion as he spoke.
Gu Changge was becoming increasingly terrifying and unfathomable. This was a good thing. After all, the stronger the young master became, the more he could truly take control of the family and lead it to greatness.
However, what he didn't understand was why, despite wanting to kill Ye Chen, Gu Changge was still hesitant to act. With the strength of the young master, who had reached the Duke Realm, even in the vast lands of the Upper Realm, only those heirs of supreme orthodoxies or immortal sects could compare to him.
In the Eastern Wilderness, killing a Ye Chen was no more difficult than slapping an ant. So why was Gu Changge scheming to take everything from Ye Chen?
"Oh? What is it that you don't understand?" Gu Changge casually replied, his mood pleasant. Not only had he caused a rift between Ye Chen and his master, but he had also earned a substantial amount of Destiny Points.
This was quite a satisfying harvest.
The day when he could truly crush Ye Chen was fast approaching.
"The old servant truly doesn't understand why Young Master doesn't simply kill Ye Chen. That would be much more straightforward," Old Ming asked in confusion, unaware of the concept of intangible luck.
He had no idea that Ye Chen was a child of fate.
To be blunt, as long as Ye Chen's luck hadn't completely exhausted, even with Gu Changge suppressing him at every turn, Ye Chen could still rise again.
This was the terrifying power of a child of fate, one of the most influential forces in the grand design of the universe.
Naturally, Gu Changge would not explain all this to Old Ming. Even if he did, Old Ming probably wouldn't understand.
"Ye Chen will die, but not now. I'm still waiting for him to send more opportunities my way," Gu Changge changed his approach, his smile carrying a hint of mystery.
There was no need to hide anything from this loyal old servant.
In the memories of the original host, the reason he had descended to the Lower Realm was entirely due to a legendary, soon-to-be-born weapon—the Eight Wilderness Demon Glaive.
It was said to be the weapon of the Eight Wilderness Demon God from the ancient times, radiating boundless killing intent and divine power. It had almost slaughtered the heavens. Later, for reasons unknown, it was lost in the flow of time.
The original host, bearing the heart of a demon, had also received the inheritance of a terrifying figure from the Upper Realm.
There were records about the Eight Wilderness Demon Glaive in this inheritance. It was highly likely to have been lost in this world.
Thus, the original host's "training" in the Lower Realm was actually a search for the weapon.
On the surface, it appeared to be training, but in reality, it was all about locating the Eight Wilderness Demon Glaive.
Of course, as a villain, the outcome was predictable—he found nothing.
If Gu Changge was right, the normal course of events would be that Ye Chen, through sheer luck and chance, would stumble upon the remains of the weapon and gain its recognition in a life-or-death situation. His strength would then increase dramatically, and the glaive would turn the tide against the forces of the Upper Realm.
The original host would fail in his endeavors, possibly losing his life in the Lower Realm or escaping back to the Upper Realm, making a mortal enemy of Ye Chen.
This was the usual plotline, one Gu Changge was very familiar with.
Now, it felt like he was playing the role of an observer with an omniscient view. Once everything was analyzed, it was clear that the true outcome would unfold in the same way.
Indeed, reading web novels really paid off.
The lazy authors had not deceived him.
"It seems Young Master has everything arranged already," Old Ming said, now enlightened after hearing the explanation. He couldn't help but feel an even deeper admiration for Gu Changge.
As expected, a young master who had been the pride of the family since childhood, called a prodigy by everyone.
"Keep a close eye on Ye Chen and track his movements. There may be a problem with the Tai Xuan Sacred Ground soon," Gu Changge then instructed, his eyes filled with a strange light.
After locking away the child of fate for three days, according to the concept of intangible luck, something bad was bound to happen to the Tai Xuan Sacred Ground soon.
But what exactly?
Even Gu Changge was somewhat curious.
At the same time, on the other side of the prison.
"The Spirit Gathering Pill."
Yan Ji murmured to herself.
She stared at the pill in front of her, which was surrounded by a faint purple aura, and her red pupils couldn't hide her shock.
She immediately recognized it.
No wonder she was so shaken.
Gu Changge's generosity was truly startling.
When she was at her peak, she had no shortage of such pills. But now, its allure was like finding rain in a drought or charcoal in the snow.
The Spirit Gathering Pill was incredibly rare, and its refining process was complicated. The materials were hard to gather.
Even in the Upper Realm, a single Spirit Gathering Pill would fetch a high price at auctions.
In a resource-deprived place like the Lower Realm, it was impossible to refine such a pill.
The pill's ability to rebuild and stabilize the soul made many powerful figures covet it.
At times, a single Spirit Gathering Pill could be the difference between life and death!
Even some of the high-ranking gods didn't possess a single Spirit Gathering Pill.
"Master, what exactly is this pill...?" Ye Chen, seeing Yan Ji's silence, couldn't help but feel a growing sense of dread in his heart.
Was this pill really so precious?
Gu Changge's methods were devious! Not only did he flatter with sweet words, but he also tried to use this pill to tempt his master.
Such malice deserved to be punished!
Yan Ji's expression grew complicated as she explained the rarity and potency of the Spirit Gathering Pill to Ye Chen.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen fell silent, his teeth gritted and his fists clenched.
The effects of the Spirit Gathering Pill could not be described with just the word "powerful." It could stabilize Yan Ji's current state and repair her shattered soul.
"Master, are you really going to use this pill?" Ye Chen's eyes reddened as he hoarsely asked.
He couldn't bear the humiliation, feeling as though Gu Changge was bestowing charity upon them.
But this pill could help his master, reducing her suffering from her broken soul.
It was a difficult choice.
It was a moment of excruciating indecision.
Gu Changge, your methods are truly ruthless!
I will kill you!
Kill you!
He screamed in agony within his heart.
"After all, it's Young Master Gu's kind intention..."
At this point, Yan Ji suddenly noticed the change in Ye Chen's expression.
She paused for a moment, sighed softly, and then asked, "Xiao Chen, tell me honestly, do you have any bias against Young Master Gu?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen froze in place, his eyes wide in disbelief.
At that moment, he felt like the world around him collapsed, his mind turning dark.
