NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1:
Chapter 1: Great Evolution Sacred Land’s Ninth Saint Child, Destiny’s Great Master Brother?!:
In the Yuanyang Realm, within the Eastern Wilderness, stood the majestic Great Evolution Sacred Land. This place, enveloped by clouds and mist, teemed with spiritual energy, creating an ethereal atmosphere. Magnificent spiritual bridges stretched across the landscape, while cranes glided gracefully through the air. The mountains radiated a strange brilliance, and their stunning peaks seemed to float amidst the clouds…
At noon, as the sun cast its golden light across the land, the ninth peak of the Sacred Land stood resplendent. On its summit, a tall figure stood against the wind. Dressed in flowing white robes, his black hair danced with the breeze, and an air of refined detachment enveloped him, giving him the appearance of an immortal.

Jiang Xuan stared at the glowing attribute panel floating before him, momentarily stunned.
“Did I transmigrate? Is this my personal attribute panel?” he muttered.
Moments ago, he had been casually reading a novel back on Blue Star and had left a single comment in the novel’s review section. Now, inexplicably, he had been thrust into this perilous fantasy world.
Strength was the ultimate law in this world. The strong could pluck the stars, shift mountains, and traverse seas, while the weak were mere ants, their lives easily trampled upon. This was no ordinary fantasy world, either. The Yuanyang Realm ranked as a mid-tier realm among the Three Thousand Realms—a world filled with unimaginable dangers.
His identity in this world, however, was extraordinary. As the ninth Saint Child of the Great Evolution Sacred Land, one of the Eastern Wilderness’s three dominant forces, he also hailed from the Jiang Family, the ruling clan of the Northern Territory. His status was both noble and awe-inspiring, and his talent was deemed exceptional.
Yet as Jiang Xuan sifted through his inherited memories, he found himself laughing bitterly while glaring at the attribute panel.
“It’s great to be a Saint Child and all,” he said through gritted teeth, “but what’s the point of having golden talent if I’m destined to die young? Who does this fate think it’s mocking?”
In this world, “fate” defined one’s lifespan, vitality, and luck, all determined at birth. Talent, on the other hand, represented a person’s innate potential. Some individuals were born with extraordinary talents, destined to soar into the heavens and achieve greatness. Others, no matter how talented, were doomed to mediocrity or worse—an untimely demise.
Talent was divided into seven ranks: white, blue, red, purple, gold, color, and chaos. The differences between these ranks were vast, like the gulf between heaven and earth. White talent was the most common, often requiring a stroke of fortune just to achieve Foundation Building. Gold, Jiang Xuan’s rank, was extraordinary, yet even it couldn’t save him from his grim fate.
Absorbing this knowledge, Jiang Xuan sighed inwardly but refused to despair. Having lived through two lifetimes, he began contemplating ways to break free from his predicament.
“Does changing talent also alter one’s fate?” he muttered, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. “If I can amass enough power to crush my enemies, wouldn’t that rewrite my destiny?”
A glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes as he considered the possibilities.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Detected the existence of a destiny heroine. System activation initiated.]
[Choice 1: Kill the destiny heroine, embark on the villain’s path, plunder her fate, and become an unparalleled villain. Reward: Heaven-defying enlightenment.]
[Choice 2: Accept the junior sister, teach her as her senior, and embark on the journey of a destiny master. Reward: Heaven-defying enlightenment.]
[Note: Both choices are equally rewarding; the host may choose freely.]
“Destiny heroine?” Jiang Xuan’s brows furrowed as he read the system’s message. His gaze fell on the golden characters before him, and his mind raced with possibilities. He, a veteran reader of internet novels, understood the significance of such a plug-in. It was a game-changer.
With this tool at his disposal, he could analyze any skill or divine ability with unparalleled clarity. The potential to defy fate was within his grasp, yet he found the system’s options rather… provocative.
As he mulled over the choices, a deep, resonant sound echoed from the distant sky.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
“What’s that sound?” Jiang Xuan murmured, his eyes narrowing as he gazed skyward.
A streak of light descended from above, resolving into a young disciple clad in white, bowing respectfully before Jiang Xuan.
“Ninth Saint Child,” the disciple said, his voice filled with reverence, “those are the bells announcing the start of the ancestral worship ceremony. You are to preside over today’s proceedings.”
Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, his thoughts already turning toward the grand cultivation realms he must ascend to change his fate.
