I Am The Fated Villain
Chapter 78: Blame the Devil Heart; Full Control Over Myself!

The people around Main Peak started to disperse after the future Patriarch position was settled.

There were countless Immortal mountains and islands in the Gu Family, and only those of high rank in the Family were allowed to set foot on the Main Peak of various lineages. Now that Gu Changge had become the future Patriarch, they would have to announce the matter to everyone within the Gu Family, and the troops affiliated with them!

A huge matter like the Eternal Inheritance choosing their heir could easily cause a sensation in the Upper Realm. Now, Gu Changge was the true Young Master of the Ancient Eternal Gu Family, and no one could point the finger at him.

"Congratulations, Young Master!"

"Young Master will lead our Gu Family to a higher level and a brighter future!"

Many members of the Gu Family visited Gu Changge to congratulate him. After all, Gu Changge's position as the future Patriarch had now been established. The monstrous strength he displayed at that moment amazed everyone in the Gu Family. Even if they did not mention anything else, Gu Changge's strength and talent alone were incomparable.

He deserved their Young Master position!

Gu Changge accepted their movements with a nod. All of this was within his expectations, except for the attitude of the Elders. He could not help but feel touched. This unity and generosity was one of the reasons the Ancient Eternal Gu Family could endure for thousands of years!

Despite minor conflicts and friction among the members of the Family, they live in harmony overall. They were completely different from the family he read about in the novel from his previous life, all of which were lost in deep struggles and infighting that would not stop unless one side died.

All the Elders of the Gu Family placed the interests of the Gu Family above all else. It was because of this that they did not say or do anything when he, someone from the younger generation, stepped over their heads and arrogantly refused to give them any face.

This brought a great shock to Gu Changge. But he felt it was not impossible. If a family is full of cunning people trying to take each other down, will it still be able to stand tall through the winding river of time? They will be long robbed and obliterated.

Since they had left the future of the Gu Family in his hands, he would naturally do his best and make them even more flourishing.

Of course, he was only Young Master now, and the entire Gu Family was still in his father's hands.

"Change, follow me."

Gu Lintian said to Gu Changge with a gentle expression after everyone dispersed from the Main Peak. At the same time, a brilliant rainbow appeared under his feet, and he disappeared into the sky, leaving the blooming Great Dao lotus behind him. He had returned to the palace where he usually cultivated.

“Understanding, Father!”

Gu Changge nodded and followed. He knew that his father had many questions for him, but he had already planned his words and actions. He was ready for whatever came to him.

Immediately, the two stood face to face in the Patriarch Hall.

"Changge, are you carefully considering the decision you made today?"

Gu Lintian pondered his words, and then asked in a warm voice. He felt relieved now that the position of the future Patriarch had been set, but he knew Gu Changge's nature too well. Unless it involved a threat to his interests, he would never care about the position of future Patriarch so quickly.

It was for this reason that Gu Lintian was wondering if Gu Changge was having any difficulties that prompted him to take this action?

Gu Changge nodded at him in response, and said, “Of course, this boy carefully thought of his actions. The position of the future Patriarch must be resolved, and it is a matter that cannot be dragged for too long. ”

"Secondly, Father, you must have guessed my intentions if you were to wonder why I want to restore the Thirteenth Uncle's bloodline."

“What happened back then was my fault, and the incident left a thorn in the hearts of many in the Family. If I don't resolve the matter, the others in the Family won't accept me as their Young Master easily.”

“I decided to take advantage of today's incident to give face to the other Elders so that we can reduce friction within the Family. It will also help me become Young Master without a fight again.”

“In addition, Father, didn't you always feel guilty for what happened to the Thirteenth Uncle's bloodline back then? One of the reasons I brought them back is to remove the guilt feelings in your heart.”

Gu Changge explained calmly. Of course, he would not say he wanted to use it to threaten Gu Xianer. Some things are better left to one's imagination. Even though he was selfish, he still kept the situation and overall interest of the Gu Family in mind.

Gu Lintian was stunned for a moment after hearing Gu Changge's words, but then a smile appeared on his face, and he said, “Changge, it's good that you think like that. I do feel sorry for Brother Linxuan ... "

“Stay, you don't have to bear this burden alone. Your Thirteenth Uncle and the others will not let this matter be resolved so easily. Back then, I was the one who took the shot at their bloodline, so when they returned from the world they were trapped in, I would make sure to protect you even if I had to lower my face or something.”.

The Gu Linxuan he mentioned was Gu Xian'er's father. Back then, the two were competing for the position of Patriarch, but in the end, Gu Lintian came out on top by a small margin.

His words touched Gu Changge's heart, and he couldn't help but feel touched. There was no need to say much as he already considered Gu Lintian to be his own father.

He shook his head, and replied Gu Lintian, “Dad, you don't need to say it anymore. It started because of me, so it was only natural that I would bear the hatred alone without involving anyone else. After all, I was the one who persuaded you back then, and you did all that for me.”.

Gu Lintian fell silent after listening to his words, and a complicated feeling surfaced in his heart. Gu Changge, who had always been indifferent and cruel, suddenly said such words, so he could not help but stir up mixed feelings in his heart.

How good would it be if Gu Changge had not been born with a Demon Heart?

“Changge, why did you suddenly say such a thing? Is this your real mind?”

Gu Lintian's expression turned serious as he said these words, and he looked at Gu Changge with deep eyes that showed visions of the destruction of the Universe, the fall of the ancient gods, and such. He was like a Heavenly Giant standing at the peak of the Upper Realm, with unfathomable majesty.

Now that he had become serious, his oppressive aura appeared as if it could shatter the world and tear apart the vault of Heaven!

"Dad, you must be wondering why I suddenly did all that, right?"

Gu Changge nodded with incomparable calm.

Gu Changge's current performance and actions are not much different in the eyes of outsiders — if one considers his past temperament — but to his close relatives, he is a completely different man.

It would be better for him to say a few words sooner rather than later.

Just then, she asked her father in a gentle tone, "Dad, you know that I have demonic nature, right?"

[Of!] OMO

As soon as Gu Changge's words fell, his eyes became pitch-black, and a deep, cold, emotionless demonic aura spread around him.

This demonic nature is too heavy ... This damned Demon Heart ...'

Gu Lintian sighed in his heart, and immediately locked around his Island and palace to prevent anyone from detecting Gu Changge's demonic aura.

He understood Gu Changge's intent.

"The awakening of my cultivation base increased my control over my demonic nature ..."

Gu Changge calmly explained.

Of course, these words were spoken randomly because he already had complete control over his demonic nature. However, since he had a Demon Heart, he could use it as a scapegoat for everything.

"You used to be dominated by your demonic nature, right?"

Gu Lintian felt depressed when he heard Gu Changge's words. In his opinion, the current Gu Changge should feel deep regret for his past actions, and his conscience should curse him all the time.

Sweetheart! The heart of the Devil was too strange and delicate, and even he was unable to find a solution to do anything about it.

Gu Changge's ability to now control his demonic nature showed that he had worked hard to contain himself for many years. Since he was dominated by his demonic nature, it was only natural that his temperament became like this.

“Dad, you don't have to worry about the Heart of Satan affecting my reasoning and nature. Anything else? His existence helped me sharpen my Primordial Spirit and will.”.

Gu Changge continued, and did not forget to blame everything on the Demon Heart.

"You've suffered a lot over the years."

Gu Lintian said with a sigh, but soon, excitement filled his heart. The biggest knot in his heart was finally broken.

A worried expression covered his face on the way back. He could not help but wonder if he had crossed over to this world long ago, but his mind had been dominated by his demonic nature since the time of his birth?

Did he finally awaken his reason and memory of his past life because of the System?

'System, did you cross with me?'

Gu Changge questioned the System.

[That's right, Host!]

'How long has it been since I crossed into this world?'

[Twenty-one years, Host!]

System Response shocked Gu Changge — as he thought.

'Why didn't you turn it on earlier? Why don't you help me wake up memories of my past life faster? I wouldn't be in a troublesome situation if you did that …'

Gu Changge couldn't help but ask.

[Home master, forgive me! I used up all my energy when we crossed over, so I have been gathering energy for the past twenty-one years.]

System responds.

[Also, Host, please don't worry about your identity. System Features are decided according to the Host situation at the time of initialization.]

[If the Host is a waste when the System is initialized, then the System will turn into a Back Attack System and a Waste Life Modifier.]

[As for your Demon Heart? The hidden danger is also resolved by the System at the time of initialization, so you also do not have to worry about it, Host!]

'I never expected you to be so wise, System. As expected of the Golden Finger of a transmigrant…'

Gu Changge couldn't help but praise.

He was relieved now that he knew his own history.

The greatest hidden danger to him was the Heart of Demons, and it was already resolved. Back then, his Original mind was completely dominated by the Heart of Demons, but the initialization of the System had solved that problem for him.

It was also because of the System so that his memories from his past life were unaffected. Indeed, for him, witnessing his Original memories being dominated by the Heart of Demons was like watching a movie — movie starring an indifferent and ruthless protagonist.

It's just that he can't escape his original sins. After all, it was an action done by his body.

……

Gu Changge usually opened his Attribute Panel after returning to his God-Show Island.

The entire Attribute Panel has a new look. There was [Unlimited Immortal Wisdom] listed under his Mystic Ability, and the Young Master of the Ancient Eternal Gu Family was listed in his Identity information.

'Even if I try to nurture the world using a fragment of the World Seed, my current strength will not be able to be used properly, so I will have to keep it for later.'

Gu Changge decided to postpone the matter for now. After which, he took out a [God Level Soul Nourishing Magic].

“Yan Ji..”

Yan Ji, who was dressed in red and sitting cross-legged within the void, immediately turned into a wisp of red smoke and emerged from the [Soul Nourishing Jade].

"Young master…"

His voice sounded cold yet pleasant in the ears. As soon as he appeared, a puzzled expression appeared on his face as he wondered why he was in such an unfamiliar place. Just a single glance at his majestic and majestic surroundings was enough to tell him that the Inheritance of this place had a deep and terrifying background.

He had spent all his time cultivating his Primordial Spirit during the last period of time. Either way, due to the restrictions of the [Spirit Nourishing Jade], he could not sense the world outside of Jade, so he did not know that Gu Changge had returned to the Upper Realm.

Gu Changge looked at him and said with a slight smile, "There's something I want you to do for me."
