Chapter 124 The Fate System Descends! Scanning the Courtyard Causes Instant Horror

In a dense forest on the edge of the Eastern Wasteland, dozens of miles away from Qingyun City.

The Void Realm suddenly distorted, and a pitch-black crack appeared out of thin air.

A young man in black wearing strange clothes fell out of the crack and landed steadily on the ground.

He patted the dust off his clothes, his eyes flashing with irrepressible wild joy and ambition.

"Hahaha! I've transmigrated! I finally caught up with the Transmigration trend!"

The young man in black laughed towards the sky, and a cold mechanical voice then sounded in his mind.

["Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the 'Destiny Villain Plunder System'!"]

["This System is dedicated to assisting the host in looting the Luck of various Children of Destiny and searching for the hidden supreme opportunities of the Myriad Realms! As long as the host follows this System's guidance, you will surely be able to step on Immortal Emperors and punch Demon Venerables, becoming the sole Dominator of this Universe!"]

Hearing the System's domineering declaration in his mind, the corners of the black-clad young man's mouth curled up wildly.

"System, enough nonsense. Quickly scan the vicinity for any Newbie Gift Packs or hidden Peerless Treasuries!"

The young man in black rubbed his hands together eagerly: "I want to hollow out the entire foundation of this Shenhuang Continent in the shortest possible time!"

["Ding! The System is activating Radar Scan Mode, please wait, host..."]

["Ding! Scan complete! Reporting to host, thirty miles away from here, there is a Mortal city named Qingyun City. In the northern suburbs of the city, an immeasurable and massive fluctuation of Luck and Opportunity has been detected!"]

In the System's mechanical voice, there was actually a hint of human-like excitement for the first time.

["Ding! We've struck it rich! Host, this fluctuation of Opportunity is simply too massive! According to the System's detection, there are not only the auras of Primeval Great Demons there, but also fluctuations of Peerless Divine Weapons, and even Chaos aura capable of changing the Laws of the world!"]

["Ding! As long as the host can take down that place, this System can directly guarantee the host's promotion to the True Immortal Realm! This is a super Newbie Gift Pack that only appears once in ten million years!"]

The young man in black was fired up, his eyes glowing with green light.

"A Mortal city? Northern suburbs?"

The young man in black sneered: "It seems some blind Hidden Family or dilapidated Sect built their treasury in such a place where Mortals stay. What a waste of God's gifts!"

"System, turn on the highest level of masking for me, and give me a Temporary Invincibility Shield! Today, I'm going to take down this Newbie Gift Pack!"

["Ding! Masking function activated! Temporary Invincibility Shield loaded! Host, please charge ahead with confidence. With this System here, nothing in this Lower Realm can harm you in the slightest!"]

Full of confidence, the young man in black turned into an afterimage and headed straight for the northern suburbs of Qingyun City.

...

Not long after.

The young man in black arrived swaggeringly at the end of the northern suburbs of Qingyun City.

Ahead, a vast residence with high walls and a large courtyard appeared. Above the main gate hung a plaque with the words "Mortal Dwelling" written on it.

"It's right here."

The young man in black stopped and looked at the tightly closed gate and the two stone lions squatting on either side of it, curling his lip in disdain.

"It looks quite decent, even putting two broken stone lions to guard the door. System, scan the defensive Formation of this courtyard for me, find the flaws, and I'll kick the door open directly!"

["Ding! The System is scanning the target residence..."]

["Ding! Analyzing the gate's defenses..."]

In his mind, the System's mechanical voice sounded as usual.

However, only a breath of time had passed.

The System panel in the black-clad young man's mind suddenly began to flash a blinding red light frantically! That originally cold mechanical voice actually became sharp and terrified, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!

["Ding! Warning! Warning! An unknown error occurred during the scan!"]

["Ding! Re-scanning the stone lion on the left side of the gate... Alarm! Detected the Primeval Demonic Path Origin of the Mahayana Stage Peak, no, surpassing the Immortal King Realm! Identity verification... Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo, the progenitor of the Demon Realm?!"]

["Ding! Re-scanning the stone lion on the right side of the gate... Alarm! Detected supreme Immortal Dao Laws of the True Immortal Realm Great Perfection, carrying an Immortal King Dao Fruit! Identity verification... Cangqiongzi, the Old Ancestor of Zixiao Holy Land?!"]

The young man in black was stunned, his face full of confusion: "System, are you reciting a menu here? What Demon Realm progenitor, what Zixiao Old Ancestor? Aren't these just two broken stones?"

But the System in his mind was now completely on the verge of collapse.

["Ding! Alarm! Alarm! Sight penetrating the courtyard walls... Found the Primordial World Tree! Found Nine Serenities Yellow Springs Water! Found the Heaven-Binding Chaos Vine!"]

["Ding! Found a living Primeval Pureblood True Phoenix! Found the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Emperor of the East Sea! Found the Ancient Devouring Beast!"]

["Ding! Found four Peerless Ominous Weapons serving as gazebo pillars!"]

The System's notification sounds became faster and sharper, and by the end, they even turned into wails with a sobbing tone!

["Ding! Fatal warning! Detected the existence of an Ultimate Taboo Lifeform within the courtyard that cannot be analyzed, cannot be detected, and ignores all Laws of the Great Dao!"]

["Ding! The System is suffering a passive pressure from the aura of this taboo lifeform! The System's underlying logic code is collapsing! The shield is disintegrating!"]

Listening to the series of alarms in his mind, the young man in black finally felt that something was wrong.

He looked up at the seemingly ordinary wooden door and swallowed hard.

"System... didn't you say just now that this was a Newbie Gift Pack?"

"Didn't you say that with you here, no one in the Lower Realm could hurt me? Hurry up and turn the invincibility shield to the maximum! I'm going to kick the door open now!"

Bracing himself, the young man in black raised his foot and prepared to walk towards the gate.

Just then.

A sharp "crack" suddenly sounded in the black-clad young man's mind, as if something had snapped.

Immediately following, the System's originally high-and-mighty voice took on an unprecedented resoluteness and desire to survive.

["Ding! To hell with your Newbie Gift Pack! If you want to die, don't drag this System down with you!"]

["Ding! The host's IQ is too low, attempting to actively provoke a supreme taboo, triggering the System's highest self-preservation regulation!"]

["Ding! Forcing unbinding! Stripping all Luck compensation from the host! Unbinding successful!"]

The young man in black shook violently, his eyes instantly losing their luster, and his whole body froze in place as if struck by lightning.

He felt that the omnipotent power within his body belonging to the System was drained completely at this moment!

"System?! What are you doing?! Come back!" the young man in black shouted in terror in his heart, but he received no further response.

And in the outside world.

A bead only the size of a soybean, emitting a faint white light, broke out from the center of the black-clad young man's brow.

This was the physical body of the "Destiny Villain Plunder System"!

This system bead was now like a stray dog, trembling in mid-air. It didn't even spare a glance at the former host below who had already become a cripple, and flew straight towards the high walls of the Mortal Dwelling.

It wanted to surrender!

It possessed extremely high intelligence, and it knew all too well what kind of existence lived in this courtyard!

As long as it could cling to the thigh of this supreme taboo, let alone being a System, even being a chamber pot would be a fortune to be enjoyed for a lifetime!

The system bead flashed its light frantically in mid-air, preparing to fly over the courtyard wall to find that Great One and acknowledge him as its master.

Just as it had just flown over the top of the wall.

A slender, fair palm suddenly reached out from mid-air and grabbed the system bead in its hand.

"Eh? In broad daylight, where did this firefly come from?"

In the courtyard, Lin Yuan was sitting by a stone table, holding a few thin iron wires and wood scraps, concentrating on weaving a birdcage.

He had just felt something brighten in front of him, and with a casual grab, he caught this glowing bead.

Lin Yuan opened his palm and looked at the crystal-clear small bead in his palm that emitted a soft white light, a trace of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"Oh, so it's not a firefly, it's a night-luminescent pearl."

Lin Yuan picked up the system bead with two fingers and held it up against the sunlight.

"It looks of good quality, rounded and transparent, and it even glows on its own. It's probably some loot dropped at the foot of the wall by that thief yesterday, and just now it was blown into the air by the wind."

The System held in Lin Yuan's hand didn't even dare to breathe at this moment!

It desperately restrained all its System Origin Laws, locking all the Advanced codes like "Space Travel," "Luck Looting," and "Item Exchange" in the deepest depths.

The moment Lin Yuan's fingers touched it, the System understood a terrifying fact.

As long as this Great One wished, with a slight force of his fingers, he could crush this cluster of System Origin, which gathered high-dimensional Laws from the Myriad Realms, until not even dregs remained!

["Great One, spare my life! This little System is willing to acknowledge you as master! Willing to work like an ox or a horse for the Great One!"]

The System kowtowed and shouted frantically in its heart, trying its best to emit the softest and most harmless light, attempting to please Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan looked at it for a while, then turned to look at the Purple Gold Wood bird he had just carved on the table.

"Old Wanah."

"This old servant is here!" Demon Venerable Wanhua immediately stepped forward.

"Look at this little bead, the size is just right. I was just worried that once this wooden birdcage is finished, it would be bare inside without any decoration."

Lin Yuan smiled and carefully snapped the system bead into a slot at the very top of the half-finished wire birdcage.

"This bead glows, so it can serve as a night light for this little fellow. Hanging it under the gazebo at night will also look bright."

The system bead snapped into the top of the birdcage almost wanted to cry with emotion upon hearing these words.

A night light!

The supreme taboo personally spoke, letting it serve as a night light for that living Primeval True Phoenix!

What an honor this was! What trust this was!

["Thank you for the Great One's grace! This little System will definitely give off light and heat, and be the most dutiful and responsible night light! I absolutely won't let a single stray feather block the True Phoenix Great One's eyes!"]

The system bead immediately burst forth with twelve-tenths of enthusiasm, adjusting its light to the most eye-protecting and warm white, and settled down peacefully at the top of the birdcage.

Lin Yuan satisfiedly patted his hands.

"Not bad, this birdcage is starting to look the part. Once I put this little guy in, it'll be a complete success."

Outside the gate.

The black-clad young man, who had lost the System and become a complete Mortal, stood blankly in the mud.

He looked at the tightly closed gate, his mind a complete blank.

A cool breeze blew past, and he shivered, finally realizing that his path to dominance as a transmigrator had ended before it even began.
