The image of gathered starlight on the jade desk had already dissipated, but the terrifying information contained within it was branded onto Lin Xuan’s heart like a mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you have chosen the third path, then...\" The voice of Silver Thread carried not a hint of emotion, yet every word struck like a hammer against Lin Xuan’s soul, \"...I shall let you know what kind of vortex the place you stand upon, and you yourself, are currently in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly raised a finger, the tip wreathed in specks of starlight and chaotic airflow, and gently tapped Lin Xuan’s brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open your mind, do not resist. This is the 'Star-Tracing Spirit Transmission' technique, which can imprint information directly into your sea of consciousness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s gaze tightened. After a moment of contemplation, he followed instructions and opened his mental defenses. He believed that if the Heavenly Secret Pavilion wanted to harm him, they would not need to go through such trouble. Furthermore, his Chaotic Nascent Soul possessed its own spiritual intuition; if it sensed a fatal crisis, it would protect its master automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That speck of starlight and chaotic light submerged into Lin Xuan’s brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive torrent of information, like a bursting river, instantly surged into his sea of consciousness! It was no longer blurry images, but incredibly clear text, pictures, and even insights into the Laws!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing to surge in was the true origin of this Heavenly Origin Secret Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was not merely the ruins of an ancient sect, but the final sanctuary and place of inheritance forged by the last great master of the Creation Realm, the \"Primordial Dao Ancestor,\" after a \"War of Heaven-Slaying\" that affected all worlds. He had paid the price of his own demise to intercept fragments of the battlefield and fuse them with his own cave-heaven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its core purpose was not to cultivate juniors, but to seal a strand of core demonic consciousness belonging to the \"Lord of the Ruin Abyss\"—a formidable enemy from beyond the heavens that had attempted to erode the origin of this world during that war! This was the very demon suppressed in the Five Elements Demon-Sealing Land!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord of the Ruin Abyss... a strand of demonic consciousness...\" Lin Xuan’s heart and mind were shaken! He had originally thought it was just some powerful ancient demon, but he never expected such a terrifying origin! It was actually a strand of demonic consciousness from an enemy beyond the heavens! What kind of existence must its true body be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information continued to surge in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primordial Dao Ancestor forged the secret realm and set up three layers of seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first layer was the spatial barrier of the secret realm itself, along with the many trial arrays within, which screened inheritors while continuously wearing down the demonic consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second layer was the Five Elements Demon-Sealing Land, which constructed a cage using the power of the Five Elements origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third layer, and the most core one, was the ultimate seal formed with the Universal Star-Sealing Array as its core, using the Star Core as the Yang array eye and the Nether Soul-Suppressing Order as the Yin array eye!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after endless years, the first two layers of seals had been greatly weakened due to energy loss and external damage (such as the previous actions of the Nether Sect and the demon race). As for the third layer, because the Star Core and the Nether Soul-Suppressing Order—which served as the array eyes—had been lost and severely damaged, it was practically existing in name only!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Ruin Abyss demonic consciousness had long since glimpsed a trace of this world’s Heavenly Dao rules during the long imprisonment. With its cunning nature, it had secretly infiltrated and bewitched some forces inside and outside the secret realm (such as the Nether Sect and those black shadows colluding with the Zhao family), attempting to break the seal from within and without!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its previous silence and attacks were all a disguise and a probe! It is waiting for a chance to break free completely!\" Cold sweat broke out on Lin Xuan’s back. His previous reinforcement of the seal likely hadn't solved the problem at all; instead, it might have startled the snake, making the demonic consciousness realize the crisis and accelerate its pace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately following this, information regarding the \"Child of Destiny\" flooded in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called Child of Destiny did not refer solely to Ye Chen. Rather, it was that the Heavenly Dao of this world, sensing the threat of the Ruin Abyss demonic consciousness and the greater catastrophe that might descend in the future (the true body of the Lord of the Ruin Abyss?), had instinctively bestowed favor and luck, giving birth to multiple people who emerged to meet the challenge. They carried great luck and grew extremely fast, serving as the key forces to deal with future calamities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was one of them; the Imperial Third Prince Li Daoyi, Yun Yao of the Floating Snow Palace, and even the white-clothed youth carrying an ancient sword and the woman in seven-colored rainbow garments were all in this category!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the reasons for the existence of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was to observe, guide, and when necessary... balance these Children of Destiny to ensure they could grow up and face the great calamity together, rather than perishing in internal strife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what about you?\" The voice of Silver Thread sounded in his sea of consciousness at the right moment, carrying a strange nuance. \"You, Lin Xuan, or should I say 'Mu Xuan', 'Jin Shisan'... you were never in the sequence of destiny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s heart was shaken once again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your appearance is a huge variable,\" Silver Thread continued. \"The 'Nine Turns Chaos Scripture' you possess is the supreme Dao that the Primordial Dao Ancestor failed to fully deduce back then! Your Chaotic Nascent Soul has even transcended the conventional cultivation system of this world! Your very existence is constantly stirring the river of fate, making the originally clear future full of countless tributaries and uncertainties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the Heavenly Dao, you are an anomaly, an existence difficult to control. But to observers like us, you might be the only... opportunity to break the dead end and bring 'hope'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information paused here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, chaotic energy swirling within them, filled with shock and realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally understood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood the meaning of the secret realm, the terror of the Ruin Abyss demonic consciousness, the origin of the Children of Destiny, and even more... why he was so \"favored\" by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His appearance had disrupted all predetermined fate. In him, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion saw the possibility of breaking the situation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what you want is for me, this 'variable', to deal with the potential catastrophe? And the so-called 'one strike', the target is likely that Ruin Abyss demonic consciousness, or even... its true body?\" Lin Xuan looked at Silver Thread, his voice hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be precise, it is the hope that you can grow to have the ability to deal with the catastrophe. And that one strike is a necessary test and cooperation,\" Silver Thread corrected calmly. \"As for the target, you will know when the time comes. Perhaps, there will be more than one 'old friend'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, digesting this earth-shattering secret. The karma involved was simply too great, so great that he, a cultivator who had just reached the Nascent Soul stage, felt like an ant looking up at the firmament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his Dao heart was firm, and he quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts. Things had reached this point; avoidance was useless. Since he was entangled in karma, he could only advance courageously and turn this so-called \"variable\" into a ladder for his own ascent to the pinnacle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand,\" Lin Xuan said in a deep voice. \"Seventy percent of the medicinal power, it's yours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he took out the jade bottle, opened the stopper, and used his spiritual sense to guide about seventy percent of the Nascent Soul Creation Dew within, turning it into a seven-colored stream of light that flew toward Silver Thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver Thread rolled his sleeve, put it away, and nodded: \"The deal is done. You may stay in this Star-Gazing Tower for three days; no one will disturb you. After three days, whether you go or stay, decide for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, his figure slowly faded, eventually merging into the surrounding stars and disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the vast starry sky, only Lin Xuan remained, alone facing the endless stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the jade bottle containing the remaining thirty percent of the medicinal power, looking at the dew inside that was still full of spiritual essence, though its light was slightly dimmed, and his eyes gradually became sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruin Abyss demonic consciousness... Children of Destiny... War of Heaven-Slaying... Primordial Dao Ancestor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chewed on these words in a low voice, and an unprecedented pressure, as well as an unprecedented motivation, surged into his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His path was destined not to be peaceful. But since he had embarked on this Chaotic Dao, he should have the courage to embrace all things and face everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat cross-legged and consumed the remaining thirty percent of the Creation Dew. Although the medicinal power was greatly reduced, it was still a rare treasure, enough for him to completely consolidate his newly broken-through early Nascent Soul realm, and perhaps even go a step further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pure medicinal power dissolved, merging into his limbs and bones, nourishing the Chaotic Nascent Soul. Lin Xuan’s mind, however, sank into a deeper deduction of the information he had just obtained and the planning of his own future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, when he walked out of the Star-Gazing Tower, he would surely face this treacherous secret realm, and the monstrous karma that had already manifested, with a brand-new attitude!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter 68)\u003C\u002Fp>",1694,"2026-06-20T01:44:26.720Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","95ad0451e5f46f583dd4c291c1e773293054202f83d4b4f54f632f807d7dfe65","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-69","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-67",182,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-villain-is-too-self-destructive-cover.jpg"]
