What did it mean to have a destiny?
There were few people in the universe who could claim they were truly destined for anything.
For instance, Lie Wei Ying was one of those people.
A few of the many brothers and sisters of the overpowered system could also say they had destinies. They were meant to create powerful people. However, not many of them would ever come close to their brother's greatness!
The five knights sat drinking shots as they littered Lie Wei Ying with the start of the tale.
The leader of the knights, Da Bo, began talking. "The Monarch Knight was once a good man whom everyone respected," he said, "However, one day when he was out for a walk something dropped from the sky. It seemed to be a fruit and he picked it up and ate it."
Lie Wei Ying scratched his head. "Why would he eat a fruit that fell from the sky?"
It was a good question, and the system also wondered the same thing.
Regardless, the men kept talking. "After he ate the fruit, he seemed to constantly grow in power. It was like he got possessed by a worm of evil, or something profoundly menacing! Indeed, it was a horrible moment for the worlds that he had created."
The men all nodded their heads. One even added, "before that he was a really good man, and used these worlds to create a peaceful galaxy. However, after that he began a voyage to gather funds! It was like all he cared about was money."
Lie Wei Ying scratched his head. Why would this man love money so much? At their level, did it even matter?
Da Bo continued, "His power seemed to grow immensely after he ate that fruit. Before, he was just an average cosmic immortal, however, after that he seemed to grow into a celestial over night! No one even knows how strong he is anymore except his best friend the collector."
"Go on," Lie Wei Ying curiously said. "Tell me what I have to do in this picture."
The knights all laughed. This Lie Wei Ying was funny. He was the savior so wasn't it obvious he had to fight him! But, to humor him Da Bo slowly leaned in. "You are the one who kills him on his own home planet. You defeat his armies and make the collector bow beneath your feet!"
Lie Wei Ying gulped. He kind of had to go sometime in the next ten years or his family would die to that Great Horandia dude. He really didn't know if he could grow strong enough to face someone who sounded so powerful in ten years.
"Uhm, if I wanted to leave and come back, would that be possible?"
The knights all shook their heads. "You cannot escape your destiny. In fact, none of us can. We all are stuck here until you defeat him. We're counting on you boy!"
"HAHAHAHA! Feel the pressure savior!" One of the knights added.
Lie Wei Ying scratched his head. He had the overpowered system so he could just escape his fate. However, he didn't have the heart to tell these men that.
The system also didn't have the heart to tell Lie Wei Ying the truth. They were indeed right and Lie Wei Ying was stuck here. However, it was good to put him in a tough spot! It meant he'd have to grow more powerful!
What was the point of having a bossman if he wasn't extremely strong, and a savior of worlds! It also helped that he was evil at the same time.
….
"Uhm, do you know what is taking him so long?"
The princess asked her royal maidens. They were all leaning on the side of the door peeking out. It sort of looked like fifty eyes lined the door. Indeed, they were floating on top of each other and were extremely thin and pretty. It made it possible for all twenty-five of them to peak as they waited sideways.
"Hmph, he doesn't realize how important the dragon princess is! She's the key to the secrets of Dragon Mountain pass!"
"Don't you mean she's the prettiest girl in the universe?"
They started bickering with each other over the princess's greatness. However, she was sad. Being a noble usually meant people would try their hardest to impress you. For some reason this Lie Wei Ying didn't apply, he was still making her wait.
….
Da Bo wrapped his arm around Lie Wei Ying. "Heey Don't you have a princess waiting upstairs," Da Bo said with a drunk accent.
Lie Wei Ying also drank too much, and completely forgot about the princess.
"Oh, I'll be right back guys. Actually, I'll see you guys around some other time. You'll all be staying at the cavern inn right?"
The knights all nodded and saluted. "Go make that princess fall to the mighty king. Have a good night with her young lad!"
Lie Wei Ying saluted back. "I will conquer her and take her to the castle!"
They all laughed. This boy was truly something else. He was the savior of worlds, and the conqueror of woman. However, Lie Wei Ying meant it in a more innocent way, and they thought he meant he was going to woo her and then take her home for other more fun activities.
Lie Wei Ying shot up the stairs past the crowds.
A doorway opened directly in front of him, and he shot into the room as the twenty five woman plopped down around the princess.
The princess was in the center and she was as a pearl. Her skin was a moonlight white, and her body radiated with a glow that only added to her beauty. All you had to do to make this moment more
perfect was add a prince. However, Lie Wei Ying didn't look like your typical prince. He burped kind of embarrassingly as he walked in. He ran up the stairs so fast it made him burp. However, it was a really quiet burp so he hoped the princess wouldn't mind that much.
"Princess, he is already in love with you. He has shown a sign of hidden affection!"
The maidens all laughed, and the girl blushed. The princess was roughly twenty years of age. However, for a dragon she was only starting to go through puberty. Indeed, she had the look of a teenager, but the wisdom of a young adult hidden under her rather awkwardly stretched body.
It made her seem even more beautiful.
"Well, Lie Wei Ying since we are so comfortable with each other now. Please have a seat over here. My dad has sent me to offer you something."
A few of the maidens took out a shiny box as Lie Wei Ying kind of stumbled over towards the princess. He sat down on what he thought was next to her, but somehow ended up on her lap. It was so warm he didn't even apologize! The maidens all awed and became happy. This bode well for what was about to happen!
"Ha ha. You're really quite the bold one, Lie Wei Ying. My father would be so happy you sat on me."
Lie Wei Ying scratched his head. He finally figured out why the chair was so warm.
"Well, the dragon of black ice lake has offered you a dowry for the acceptance of his beloved daughter into your house. Would you care to accept this item on the table," the main maiden asked.
Lie Wei Ying scratched his head. He wanted to ask what a Dowry was; however, he was so drunk the thought kind of escaped his mouth.
"Sure!"
The system couldn't believe it. This boy was trying to make a harem.
It was his first time having a master that wanted a harem.
….
The maidens opened the box as a small fruit was there.
It was something very valuable, and the system immediately agreed with Lie Wei Ying's decision to marry the girl! Unfortunately, Lie Wei Ying still didn't know what a dowry was, and because of this item the system was definitely not going to tell him.
"Do you like it?" The princess squeezed the little boy in her arms.
The two of them seemed like a perfect couple. One of them had gorgeous black hair, and seemed like he would develop into a gorgeous young man. The other one was a beautiful dragon princess who was in her human form.
Dragons liked showing affection, and she also leaned her head on Lie Wei Ying's shoulder. Her lips than touched his cheeks.
.…
A few hundred miles away Yu Yan's sensors were buzzing full of worry.
Lie Wei Ying was in trouble! Either that or some woman was trying to win his heart. She shot off towards the east, and flew at her fastest speed towards Dragon Mountain pass.
She left behind her some very hungry looking monsters. A second ago they thought they saw hundreds of delicious looking cakes on the floor, and the next moment they all left before they could eat them.
It was a sad day to be a monster. However, because of the Dragon princess and her move on Lie Wei Ying, they ended up not exploding to her new attack. [You die by sugar!]
….
Lie Wei Ying picked up the fruit.
"Congratulations, you've acquired a ice fruit of the earth dragon. 80% chance of learning a divine ability."
Lie Wei Ying smiled. He couldn't believe how good his luck was.
Divine abilities were extremely rare, and usually only divine creatures such as dragons or devils or Buddhas or demons would be able to learn a few. However, certain fruit made it possible to take on the qualities of another race, and the higher the success rate the more valuable they were.
This fruit right here had an 80% success rate. The king went all out for his beloved daughter!
"So, who do I have to thank for this fruit." Lie Wei Ying circled the fruit around in his hand. He certainly was lucky to receive whatever this dowry thing was.
"Hmm, well if you're ready, my father would love to meet you. However, there's a trial to see him."
Lie Wei Ying scratched his head. "I just completed a trial. Is there another way?"
The maidens all gasped. He was going to challenge the great dragon king to a battle. This boy had to be the bravest non-dragon they had ever seen.
"Well, if you want I can take you to my father directly. However, he is really strong."
Lie Wei Ying laughed, "Hmph, there is nothing I can't defeat."
The princess laughed and snuggled the boy in her arms. Her dad was a third stage immortal. He must be strong to challenge her dad! This meant she could finally get married! Her dad had killed quite a lot of men who tried to be with her.
….
Lie Wei Ying smiled as he wobbled over towards the cavern inn. He immediately got a room, and plopped down on the bed.
Tomorrow he had an appointment with a dragon, and he needed to get some sleep.
