Ming Lao's original name was Lin Ming. After ascending to the upper realm, he became an outer clan servant of the Gu Family and was thereafter known as Ming Lao.
Three thousand years ago, his cultivation was at the Void God Realm, but now he had reached the God King Realm. In the upper realm, he was considered a powerful figure. However, due to the restrictions of the lower realm, Ming Lao was unable to fully utilize his true strength. If he were to unleash his power, he would be resisted by the will of the world's heavens.
"One hand created the Lin Family," Gu Changge recalled the information about Ming Lao in his mind and nodded. At the same time, he communicated with the system in his mind. "How many Fortune Points does Ye Chen have left now?"
Just a moment ago, Gu Changge had heard the system's notification. With the disruption of the world's trajectory and the appearance of the world's corrective power, a new Child of Destiny had emerged. It seemed that Ye Chen was about to be abandoned by his "Heavenly Father."
"It seems like another piece of low-hanging fruit has been harvested," Gu Changge mused.
The system responded, "Master, Ye Chen now has two hundred and thirty Fortune Points remaining."
"The reason Fortune Backlash exists is because my Fortune Points are too far apart from that of the so-called Child of Destiny, right?" Gu Changge asked.
The system's cold, mechanical voice answered, "Yes, as the master's Fortune Points increase, the Fortune Backlash will gradually fade away."
Gu Changge nodded thoughtfully. Although Ye Chen's strength was very weak, dealing with him had still consumed a lot of Gu Changge's efforts. After all, Gu Changge's power could easily crush him. But the Heavenly Dao had provided some protection to Ye Chen, making it difficult to eliminate him with direct methods.
At the start, Gu Changge's Fortune Points were only thirty points, while Ye Chen had over five hundred. The gap was nearly twenty times larger. In terms of strength, it would be a trivial matter for Gu Changge's original body to eliminate Ye Chen with a single finger.
As an immortal disciple of a great upper realm sect, why did Gu Changge's Fortune Points only have thirty points? Gu Changge had been contemplating this for some time. Besides his role as a villain, it was likely due to the original body's nature—proud, indifferent, with a single-minded focus on cultivation. To put it bluntly, it was somewhat foolish and suited the role of an expendable villain offering experience points.
Because of this arrogance and disdain for lowly beings like Ye Chen, it resulted in many unforeseen factors. According to the original world's trajectory, Ye Chen's repeated survival despite offending the original body could now be explained.
Now that Gu Changge had crossed over, he immediately understood the entire pattern. Naturally, he would no longer allow Ye Chen to slap his face and trample on him.
Gu Changge had become the "odd one out." The Heavenly Dao could no longer use "unexpected events" to protect the Child of Destiny. At this point, the Fortune Backlash had manifested.
This was similar to the well-known Great Desolate World's principle: humanity was the destined protagonist. If the great trend was altered, there would be heavenly punishment. Even a Saint would not dare to change the grand trajectory of the heavens.
Of course, the current world was not comparable to the Great Desolate World, but the principle was the same. The Child of Destiny was always favored by the Heavenly Dao. Their Fortune Points were not a coincidence.
Now that Gu Changge had understood everything, he realized that, although it was amusing to take away the fortune of the Child of Destiny, it was also somewhat restricting. He didn't quite enjoy this feeling.
Thankfully, Gu Changge no longer felt unease when thinking about killing Ye Chen. He suspected that this was due to his Fortune Points having risen significantly.
This felt much better.
As the system had stated, once his Fortune Points increased, the Heavenly Dao could no longer favor the Child of Destiny as it pleased. The so-called "unexpected events" would no longer suffice. The Heavenly Dao could no longer casually strike him down with a chaotic heavenly thunder.
Gu Changge then glanced at his current attribute screen:
Master: Gu Changge
Identity: True Disciple of the Dao Tian Immortal Palace
Physique/Bloodline: Demon Heart Dao Bone
Cultivation: Mid-stage Marquis Realm
Skills/Abilities: Dao Tian Immortal Sutra (Seventh Layer), Wan Hua Demon Body (Innate), Primordial Deity's Will (Innate), Swallowing Immortal Demon Technique...
Fate Value: 100
Fortune Points: 120 (Black)
System Shop: Open
Warehouse: Broken Domain Talisman *1, Fragmented One-Third of World Seed *1
During this time, he had used his Fate Value to level up and reached a new minor cultivation stage. The Dao Tian Immortal Sutra remained at the seventh layer, but Gu Changge had progressed to the mid-stage of the Marquis Realm.
Compared to other young supreme beings in the upper realm, his speed could be considered cheating. He was already an unparalleled prodigy, and with the ability to level up through points, his breakthroughs were naturally rapid.
However, the Fate Value gained through one's own efforts could hardly be considered "cheating."
Apart from this, Gu Changge had been pondering what would happen with his black Fortune Points. But in the end, nothing had occurred. No divine treasures had descended, and no disasters had struck him.
It was simply a sign of his being an anomaly.
His black Fortune Points did not fit within the seven known colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
To put it simply, black Fortune Points represented the unknown and the unpredictable.
