Chapter 20: Tian Mucheng: If only I had a system!
"Live-dead physique?"
Mo Yan stared at Tian Mucheng with a suspicious expression, her gaze seemingly trying to see through him. She frowned slightly and scrutinized Tian Mucheng from head to toe once more, secretly thinking, 'Could the Holy Lord be teasing him again?'
"You find it unbelievable, and so do I. I never expected my body to be in such a state." When Tian Mucheng learned this from the Dragon Soul, he appeared calm on the surface, but his mind was utterly bewildered and stunned.
"So that means..." Mo Yan quickly understood the meaning of a live-dead physique. "You aren't seen by those guys up there right now, correct?"
"That's true, but as soon as I absorb a certain amount of destiny to improve my body, I'll become a tempting target in the eyes of those guys."
Tian Mucheng nodded. He hadn't expected Mo Yan, who usually seemed so lazy, to have such a sharp mind.
"In that case... the destiny must be temporarily stored by us from now on. We can't give it all to you."
"That's indeed what we must do, just in case."
"Ugh, this is such a hassle!"
Mo Yan sighed. Why was it so troublesome?
She had originally planned to just upset Shrek Academy and then run away, but she hadn't expected the Holy Lord's physique to be like this. Now, her objective for going to Shrek had to change.
That ancient golden tree clearly had a connection with the Holy Lord!
Hehehehe.
Tian Mucheng thought for a moment and still brought up the matter of plotting for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. "Should we start planning for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now?"
"Are you crazy?" Mo Yan's lazy expression instantly vanished, replaced by pure shock. "I remember there's a certain Tang Gou's divine sense there. It'll be very difficult for us to get it, unless—"
"You're not thinking...?" Mo Yan immediately understood Tian Mucheng's meaning. This guy wanted to use that one chance, but this chance was one-time only; once used, it would be gone.
Tian Mucheng nodded. Just as Mo Yan thought, he indeed wanted to do that.
With the changes in the Sons of Destiny, there would be many more variables in the future. He had to be the first to obtain the great opportunity of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Seeing Tian Mucheng like this, Mo Yan thought for a moment and decided to throw the problem to Jin Tianming, letting him make the choice. She said, "Ask Jin Tianming for his opinion. If he agrees, I agree."
Upon hearing this, Tian Mucheng opened the mental link without hesitation, pulling both of them in to begin their first meeting.
Jin Tianming entered the mental link and looked at Engulfing Sky Dragon with a puzzled expression. Seeing that Engulfing Sky Dragon had only turned his hair white, he put down his worries and said, "Engulfing Sky Dragon, you're awake? Don't be so reckless next time."
"Alright." Tian Mucheng nodded in agreement, but only he knew what he was truly thinking in his heart as he began to explain his plan to Jin Tianming.
Jin Tianming listened intently. After Engulfing Sky Dragon finished his plan, he stroked his chin and fell into contemplation.
The matter of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was indeed no small thing. This opportunity also carried a lot of destiny, but once obtained...
Thinking of this, Jin Tianming looked at Engulfing Sky Dragon. "What you're doing might be inappropriate. Who are you going to let store all that destiny?"
Mo Yan was going to Shrek Academy; it was impossible for her to bring a large amount of destiny into that pyramid scheme academy, otherwise a certain Tang Gou would sense something was wrong and target her.
But now that Engulfing Sky Dragon's cultivation had dropped to Level 17, it would be impossible for him to create a third clone at this stage.
Tian Mucheng naturally knew Jin Tianming's doubts and concerns. He directly stated his thoughts, "I plan to let Xiao Xue and Dugu Yan store that destiny. It can also allow their cultivation to quickly break through to Title Douluo."
Mo Yan and Jin Tianming were both surprised to hear these words, looking at him. They hadn't expected Engulfing Sky Dragon to be so bold!
"Is that really going to work?" Mo Yan was still a little worried. If the two Dragon Slaves couldn't bear that destiny, they would still be discovered by the Tang Gou in the sky.
Jin Tianming pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "If those two Dragon Slaves find it difficult to bear the destiny at that time, they can transfer it to me. Anyway, that Tang Gou won't pay excessive attention before Huo Yuhao and Huo Yutong go to Sun Moon Continent. He'll only think that the increase in destiny is due to changes in Soul Guidance Devices."
Tang San's personality was just like that; Huo Yuhao and Huo Yutong were the most important, and everything else could be set aside.
"This is truly troublesome."
Mo Yan complained a little upon hearing these words, feeling that it was too complicated and troublesome. Fortunately, she didn't need it for now; she was just a scout.
Tian Mucheng heard Mo Yan's complaint and spread his hands helplessly, saying, "There's nothing we can do about it. Who told us we don't have a system? If we had a system, we could cheat as much as Huo Yuhao does, and without any worries."
In this World, what Title Douluo, what Soul Beast, what god—all are trash in front of a system.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a system, so he could only plan slowly and gamble slowly.
He didn't really want to be a gambling addict, but if he didn't gamble, there would be no way out, and what awaited him would be ultimate death. He truly didn't want to endure the physical pain anymore.
"Exactly! If only we had a system. That kind of conceptual existence wouldn't require so much planning and consideration." Mo Yan agreed. She was truly too lazy. If it weren't for the Holy Lord's request, she wouldn't even want to go to Shrek Academy; she'd just want to lie flat beside the Holy Lord.
Might as well be a mascot.
Jin Tianming looked at Mo Yan speechlessly and said irritably, "If there were a system, do you think we would still need to exist?"
"Alright, let's end this topic here." Tian Mucheng really didn't want to discuss this topic anymore. "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well isn't urgent. Although the Sons of Destiny have changed, they still need to grow. Our current priority is to first establish a base for our forces."
"It won't be too late to plan for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well after the base is established."
The construction of the Undying Hall's base, his own force, must be completed first, and only then should the matter of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well be planned. This is the best strategy. Otherwise, where would the Immortal Herbs from the Yin Yang Well be stored at that time? If stored in his own spiritual sea, a slight misstep could cause his head to directly explode.
Moreover, he had absolutely no trust in those beasts. He would rather believe that Mu En could keep his promise than believe those plants that obeyed Tang Gou.
"Engulfing Sky Dragon, you handle it. I also need to start researching Soul Guidance Devices to see if I can get communication devices and such working." Jin Tianming nodded, agreeing with Engulfing Sky Dragon's idea. "Also, don't play with your life so much. You always make me so anxious."
Upon hearing this, Tian Mucheng nodded, "Next time, definitely!"
Jin Tianming:
He knew that Engulfing Sky Dragon hadn't listened. He gave a warning glare to the lazy, almost dead Mo Yan before disconnecting the mental link.
Hopefully, Mo Yan would fulfill her responsibility.
Mo Yan naturally caught Jin Tianming's gaze. She would naturally look after Engulfing Sky Dragon, provided she wasn't fooled into stupidity by Engulfing Sky Dragon's words.
Tian Mucheng disconnected the mental link and sat alone at the tea table in the guest room, looking at the tea that had long gone cold in his hand. He was contemplating his life plan.
The appearance of the two Sons of Destiny gave him some plans, but these plans had barely emerged before he had to scrap them. How could that Tang Gou, seeing two Sons of Destiny at the same time, let them go? He would definitely keep an even closer eye on them.
Tang Gou: How can I let go of such a son-in-law and such a daughter's best friend? Hehehehe.
Unless there was some way to block the God Realm or get the God of Destruction to pick a fight with Tang Gou.
But he couldn't do any of those things right now, so he could only settle for second best and start planning for the Immortal Herbs.
With the changes in the Sons of Destiny, those Immortal Herbs would also change sooner or later, just to be safe...
"In my previous life, I walked on thin ice. In this life, it's even worse. I truly don't know when I'll be able to reach the other shore..."
