Villain System: Stealing the Protagonist's Harem and Luck

Chapter 73: Providence Beyond the Heavens, The Peach Demon

Gu Changge’s plan wasn’t complicated.

The priority was locating his cousin, [Gu Xianer]. He needed to know her status and, more importantly, the identity of the expert backing her.

However, this was an internal Gu Family matter. He couldn’t mobilize the full force of the clan yet; only his own lineage would obey him without question. The other branches would likely wait until he was officially confirmed as the future Patriarch.

Using the other lineages to hunt her down was risky. It might backfire or alert her prematurely.

After a moment of thought, Gu Changge summoned his trusted aide.

“Ah Da.”

“Young Master, Ah Da is here!”

A burly man in black entered the hall, bowing respectfully.

Though he looked human, fine cyan scales covered his arms. He possessed the bloodline of the [Ancient Dragon-Human Clan]. Raised by the Gu Family since childhood, he was one of the few retainers allowed free access to the Inner Islands. His strength was at the [Void God Realm].

“Take this to [Elder Ming],” Gu Changge said, flicking a finger. A decree written with divine sense flew into Ah Da’s hand. “Tell him to investigate this matter discreetly.”

Elder Ming was a [God King]. In the Upper Realm, that made him a major powerhouse. Having him handle the investigation would be efficient.

“Yes, Young Master.”

Ah Da vanished, heading for the Outer Islands.

The Gu Family territory was vast. Without teleportation arrays, ordinary cultivators would spend a lifetime trying to cross it—assuming the free-roaming spirit beasts didn’t eat them first.

Once Ah Da left, Gu Changge pulled up his System interface.

Since returning to the Upper Realm, he hadn’t updated his stats.

Host: Gu Changge Halo: Destiny Villain Weapon: Eight Desolate Demon Halberd Identity: True Disciple of Daootian Immortal Palace Physique: Devil Heart, Dao Bone Cultivation: Conferred Lord Realm (Peak) Abilities: Daootian Immortal Scripture (7th Layer, 99%), Myriad Transformations Demon Body, Innate Godly Spirit, Void Power, Immortal Devouring Demonic Art… Destiny Points: 4,000 Luck Points: 2,000 (Black)

His Luck Points had quietly climbed to 2,000.

Gu Changge considered using them to break through to the [Conferred King Realm]. Condensing a Dharma Body would massively boost his combat power.

But he had a question first.

“System, my ‘Black Luck’ is an anomaly outside the standard color spectrum. If my Luck Points hit zero, what happens?”

[System: Host need not worry. Luck Points are merely a quantification for your understanding. Because the Host is an anomaly, your fate is no longer governed by the Heavens. Reaching zero will not result in bad luck or death.]

[System: However, acquiring Fated Chances or inheritances will not increase your points naturally. You must plunder Luck from others or subdue those with Great Providence.]

Gu Changge nodded. That explained why he never tripped over random treasures despite having higher Luck than Ye Chen.

His fate was his own. If he wanted opportunities, he had to steal them from the protagonists.

“So, for me, Luck Points are just currency. And since I earned these myself, the exchange rate is 1:10?”

[System: Correct.]

Gu Changge smiled. 2,000 Luck Points meant 20,000 Destiny Points.

It was essentially a savings account. And since he was “raising” leeks like Su Qingge and Lin Qiuhan, his passive income was steady.

“Exchange 1,000 Luck Points.”

[Ding! Exchange successful. Obtained 10,000 Destiny Points.]

His Destiny Points jumped to 14,000.

“System, add points.”

Hum!

Strange energy flooded his body. His limbs glowed with divine light as the Dao Bones resonated. The Devil Heart remained silent, hiding in the depths.

In his mind, the bottleneck of the [Daootian Immortal Scripture] shattered. Infinite insights poured in.

Rumble!

Like a dam breaking, his spiritual energy surged, expanding his [Sea of Consciousness] and meridians.

Cultivation: Conferred King Realm (Early Stage)!

“6,000 Destiny Points remaining.”

Gu Changge focused. Behind him, a hazy, colossal figure manifested. It radiated the aura of the Great Dao, ancient and indifferent.

This was the talent of the Dao Bone: [Great Dao Body].

It suppressed all laws. For a Young Supreme, this was a trump card capable of deciding battles.

“The power gap between Conferred Lord and Conferred King is massive,” Gu Changge mused, clenching his fist. The giant avatar behind him mimicked the motion, the air around it cracking under the pressure.

“This talent… really should belong to my cousin.”

He knew he was a thief. But in this world, power was the only truth. Eventually, he would solve the issue of the bone—maybe devour it or replace it—but for now, it was useful.

He opened the System Shop.

He had wealth to burn. The Gu Family’s techniques were strong, but they required contribution points and time. The System was instant.

He browsed the catalog and settled on a Soul Technique.

[Endless Immortal Art]. Price: 5,000 Destiny Points.

He already had the [Innate Godly Spirit]. Adding a supreme offensive soul technique would make him invincible in mental combat.

“Exchange.”

Information flooded his mind. He spent the remaining points to master it instantly.

Hum!

From his forehead, a golden figure stepped out. It held a bronze immortal sword that radiated terrifying killing intent.

One slash to sever the soul. One slash to break the universe.

…

As Gu Changge broke through, the shockwave rippled through the Gu Family’s islands.

Though dampened by arrays, the pressure of a [Conferred King]—especially one with such terrifying Dao resonance—alerted the experts.

“Changge invites the Clan Elders to the Main Peak.”

His voice, amplified by spiritual energy, echoed across the islands.

In the various palaces, Elders opened their eyes, frowning in confusion.

“What is he doing?”

“He just broke through, and now he summons us?”

“Is this about the position of Patriarch?”

…

The Land of Abandoned Immortals.

This was a forbidden zone in the Upper Realm, a vast, desolate expanse filled with chaotic mist and ancient beasts.

In the deepest part, hidden from the world, lay a small village. It looked like a paradise, untouched by time.

At the village entrance stood a massive, ancient [Peach Tree]. Its blossoms were radiant, shimmering with Dao laws. It felt as if the tree had been there since the creation of the world, rooting itself in the chaos.

Under the tree, a young girl in green clothes stood quietly.

“[Peach Demon] Sister,” she whispered to the tree. “I’m leaving…”
