Lin Tian was dead, leaving only an empty shell behind.
For Gu Changge, there were several ways to deal with a Child of Destiny. The first was to directly kill them, which was the simplest approach. However, it would only yield partial Destiny Points and would not trigger the rules for the clearing of Destiny Points or the additional Heavenly Dao rewards.
Many of the Child of Destiny's opportunities were difficult to seize unless they were triggered first.
The second method was like what Gu Changge was doing now—continuously suppressing the Child of Destiny, accumulating Destiny Points, and conveniently stealing their opportunities. Once the Destiny Points were cleared, he could also obtain additional Heavenly Dao rewards by killing them.
Although this approach was more complicated, it provided the greatest rewards.
Gu Changge was very clear in his mind which method he would choose.
With that thought, he walked out of the dungeon with a calm expression and summoned his attribute interface once again. Compared to before, it had undergone a complete transformation.

"After harvesting this wave, I've made quite the profit," Gu Changge smiled to himself.
"With 4,500 Destiny Points in hand, there's a lot I can do now. The Eight Desolation Demon Glaive should also be emerging soon. I might as well deal with Ye Chen's matter—after all, he's of no more use to me..."
"And some matters in the Upper Realm need to be prepared for as well... Otherwise, when I return, things might get a bit messy."
Gu Changge furrowed his brows, deep in thought about the matters of the Upper Realm and the plans he needed to put into motion.
As he had previously thought, although he had the support of the Changsheng Clan and had joined the Immortal Sect, his situation in the Upper Realm wasn't ideal.
His original purpose for joining the Dao Tian Immortal Palace wasn't pure, and this was why he remained a true disciple rather than a successor. His other identity also played a role in this.
Many of the higher-ups in Dao Tian Immortal Palace were cautious about him, and Gu Changge needed to find a way to secure his position once he returned to the Upper Realm.
Otherwise, before he could finish off the Child of Destiny, he might end up being undone himself.
The Dao Tian Immortal Palace was an immortal Dao lineage of monstrous power in the Upper Realm. Over the vast expanse of time, it had never been severed. Its terrifying nature needed no further elaboration.
Many ancient families and supreme immortal dynasties had tried everything to get their disciples and family members into it, hoping to gain an opportunity.
Although Gu Changge had the support of the Changsheng Clan, taking control of the Immortal Sect would still pose a significant challenge.
These were things he would have to deal with once he returned to the Upper Realm, so for now, he set them aside.
"Young Master Gu..."
Outside the dungeon, Lin Qiuhan had been waiting for Gu Changge. Upon seeing him exit, she couldn't help but speak up.
Her eyes were still a little red, clearly not having recovered from her grief.
"It's alright now. I've taken care of Lin Tian's matter. The remnants of the powerful soul occupying his body have been eradicated as well," Gu Changge said with a faint smile, offering comfort.
"Thank you, Young Master Gu. I'm sorry for troubling you with such a small matter," Lin Qiuhan said, her voice filled with gratitude.
"No need for thanks, it's just a small favor," Gu Changge replied gently, his smile remaining unchanged.
Even if Lin Qiuhan had wanted to kill Lin Tian herself, Gu Changge wouldn't have agreed. After all, if he didn't do it himself, how could he trigger the additional Heavenly Dao rewards?
Besides, it was a good opportunity to improve Lin Qiuhan's favorability towards him. Having her genuinely work for him in the future was something Gu Changge could benefit from.
"Let your brother rest in peace. After being occupied for so long, his soul may not have completely dissipated. There might still be a chance for reincarnation," Gu Changge added with a smile.
When the soul was usurped, Lin Tian's soul had been integrated into the body by the God-King of the Slaughter Heaven, or else the issue of obsession wouldn't have arisen.
In fact, Lin Tian's soul had just been devoured by Gu Changge earlier.
The talk of reincarnation was just that—talk. Gu Changge said it to console Lin Qiuhan for now.
"I understand. I'll immediately instruct people to lay Little Lin to rest..." Lin Qiuhan was touched that Gu Changge was still considering her feelings. She hurried off to give the order.
Watching her leave, Gu Changge's smile faded, and he didn't say anything further.
Dealing with simple-minded women was easy—just maintaining a pleasant appearance, speaking elegantly, and adding a touch of warmth would suffice.
In the time that followed, Gu Changge wasn't in a hurry. He spent 3,000 Destiny Points to increase his cultivation to the late stage of the Marquis Realm.
Though the jump from mid-stage to late-stage was just a small realm, for a young supreme, it was a significant increase in combat strength, no longer comparable to before.
Gu Changge's Strength, the Ancient Divine Mountain Beasts
Although Gu Changge rarely took action, it did not mean that his combat strength was weak. It was simply unnecessary for him to act; he could suppress everyone with his mere aura.
When he truly took action, even someone at the King's Realm would fall before him with ease.
Of course, breaking through to a small realm still required a significant expenditure. Gu Changge estimated that to reach the peak of the Marquis Realm, the required Destiny Points would be even more terrifying—at least 5,000 points to start.
However, it was worth it.
The Dao Tian Immortal Scripture's progress had already nearly reached the eighth layer. As far as Gu Changge remembered, the other true disciples of the Dao Tian Immortal Palace in the Upper Realm hadn't even reached this level.
Of course, he was unaware if they had made breakthroughs or had obtained some kind of opportunity during this time.
But it had been nearly half a year since he descended from the Lower Realm. Gu Changge felt that his progress had been quite fast.
Three Days Until the Central Continent's Talented Young Cultivators Conference
The city of Chong Yue was becoming more and more lively. The streets were filled with figures of cultivators and beings from various sects, all bustling with activity.
Following the destruction of the Jialou Sacred Land, more sects and forces clearly held a greater reverence for the young man from the Upper Realm.
However, the logic was the same: if one could please that young man, power and influence were practically within reach.
Look at the current state of the Lin family—arrogant and overbearing, with their noses practically in the air. Wherever they went, they exuded an aura of superiority. Not only did no one dare offend them, but people had to obediently seek their favor.
In this world, where strength reigned supreme, the powerful were the ones who controlled power.
Many forces were harboring similar intentions.
In Chong Yue City
Within a misty divine courtyard, several young beings with various appearances were engaged in conversation.
Some had wings on their backs, some had purple scales on their foreheads, some were god-like in their beauty, and others had flames wrapped around their arms. Each one was surrounded by divine radiance, their auras so powerful that even the heirs of the sacred lands in Central Continent seemed insignificant in comparison. They didn't even qualify to stand alongside them.
The weakest among them had cultivation at the Great Being level, enough to look down on many elders.
Moreover, terrifying old servants and subordinates stood near these young beings, their auras emanating an overwhelming pressure.
If any outside cultivators were to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly gasp in shock and fear.
The Ancient Divine Mountain!
These young beings were all from the Ancient Divine Mountain, and their backgrounds were incredibly formidable. They were currently gathered here to discuss matters.
"I didn't expect the Jialou Sacred Land to be destroyed. Just who is that young man from the Upper Realm…?"
A young being with wings on his back shook his head, an expression of regret on his face.
Of course, this regret was merely a facade.
In truth, he held the Jialou Sacred Land in disdain and was completely indifferent to its destruction.
"No matter who he is, I will make him pay the price."
A cold, beautiful young woman with a frosty expression, exuding a murderous intent, placed her hand on the long white sword on the table.
