[This chapter contains, Introduction to First child of destiny. If you are here just for beauties then you can skim through the chapter.
As a fellow reader the author understands your thoughts better than anyone.]
"I was sleeping with her."
Xia Tian responded with a plain tone.
"!!"
His calm reply, yet silenced the whole hall, the guards were staring at Xia Tian's face with a myriad of emotions... Some with admiration and some with jealousy, while some were confused and weirded out.
The guards have rarely seen her, but the rumours about her beauty is famous across the realms as the first daughter of Xia Family.
Xia Leng raised an eyebrow and tried to filter down the sentence spoken by Xia Tian many times, but there was only one meaning he can arrive at his words.
His anger was rising every moment. Not before long, his close aide spoke something making him calm down and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha... "
"Son, if you didn't want to answer you could have just said so, why made such a bad joke, though it's good you are trying to improve your behavior and starting to learn jokes and leave your old behavior, but I think you need to practice more."
"This old man shall teach you, haha.."
Xia Tian glanced at him and shook his head with pity, Xia Leng who spotted this can't help but look at him with prying eyes.
"You are an idiot" Xia Tian stated calmly.
Xia Leng's face twitched at his answer, his wives often call him an idiot so he wasn't offended that easily, but he still had to ask the reason why his son called him an idiot today.
"And why do you think so." He asked him again.
Xia Tian: "You are really an idiot."
After hearing the same answer again by him, Xia Ling was somehow looked convinced and was seriously thinking, is he really an idiot?
Nevertheless, before he can solve this mystery another person entered the hall, it was a boy with black hair and green eyes, and behind him, a girl with a similar complexion and features as Ran Ling followed him with maid's clothes.
He walked inside with an extraordinary demeanor as if looking down on others like ants.
He was Xia Chen, the son of destiny.
The maid behind him was Ran Yuming, the sister of Ran Ling,
Rather than entering shamelessly like Xia Tian, the boy bowed properly to Xia Leng.
"Father, did you ask for me?" He acted filial.
Xia Leng nodded at him forgetting the fact that he was called an idiot just a moment ago, he was definitely used to this...
Then, he gestured for every one of us to take a seat.
In the left corner of the hall, there was a large table, encircled by chairs for people to sit, it was for discussion on war strategies.
While a lounge was present in the center for visitors, this is where people normally sit and talk.
There was no large throne or something, making it look like a throne room, one can consider the main hall of the Xia family as an extended version of a guest room.
Ancient family status is above imperials, but they live within their separate spatial dimensions within the sacred sky jade realm and act more like a sect and not royalty.
The dimensions were created with the help of Immortals who wanted to maintain proper contact with mortals.
The entrance to the dimension is scattered across many places in the sacred sky jade realm which one can enter using the respective family tokens.
These dimensions in reality are nothing but entrances to abandoned mid-level realms, so it can be said each ancient family has a realm of its own.
They are the controllers from behind, while the main four families of the sacred sky jade realm function under the Imperial family.
So to outsiders, the rulers of the sky jade realm are the Imperial family and the other main four families.
In a sense, it isn't wrong as ancient families not just rule one realm but all the mid-level realms in existence.
Realms are classified not on basis of size but on basis of gravity and spiritual energy present in them.
So for visiting a high-level realm one has to be at peak of mortal cultivation or become immortal, to face the intense pressure of gravity on the high-level realm.
To become immortal, a mortal after reaching the peak of the Overlord realm has to go through tribulations to strengthen their souls and cultivate an immortal body, while there is another way that is being a child of immortal parents.
If both parents are immortal their children would be born immortals.
Xia Tian was currently sitting a slight distance away from Xia Chen, Ran Yuming stood behind him and Xia Leng was sitting in front of them.
"Tian'er why are you sitting there?" It was Xia Leng who spoke, on which Xia Tian awkwardly smiled and shrugged.
"I don't like men's."
His reply made Xia Leng laugh while Xia Chen was frowning.
It was Xia Tian's usual way of conversation, he would do anything to annoy the next party.
Xia Chen then looked backward, seeing that Ram Yuming was standing, his eyes turned a bit cold, he stared at her and said. "Yuming you are a family now, there is no need to stand there."
"Young master, It is not needed."
"I said, just come and sit next to me."
Under Xia Chen's persuasion, she was forced to sit next to him, but Xia Leng wasn't particularly bothered by it.
Xia Chen was the next best genius of the family after Xia Tian. In just last one year, he had gone up from being crippled to a spirit formation realm expert, suppressing everyone. Though Xia Chen and Xia Tian haven't sparred officially, but with Xia Chen's monstrous talent, it is sure he would soon suppress Xia Tian if he hasn't already.
He should be the brother-in-law for Xia Tian, so it also protected any blood bath in the family, two tigers can never occupy the same peak, this is also the reason Xia Leng wasn't that repulsive to the relationship between Xia Ying and Xia Tian.
Yet, someone has completely different thoughts here, it was Xia Tian, though Evelynn hasn't told him about the son of destiny.
Nevertheless, from his memories and little observation of his soul he can conclude that, this person does not have a system, rather he is not Xia Chen at all.
Xia Chen is already dead, and an immortal soul is possessing his body, and he can recognize this soul very well, it is of the great heavenly demon king who he killed a few million years ago before his disappearance.
His name should be Xiao Chen.
When Xia Tian killed him, he did not destroy his soul, so he can build his body again, he was just playing with this guy, but unfortunately, he miscalculated since Xiao Chen's soul was already damaged after his attack so he was forced to flee to the mid-level realm to find a good body for himself.
There he found this boy in the Xia family, with crippled spiritual roots, the boy was ready to suicide, therefore he decided to possess his body.
Original Xia Chen's soul was consumed by Xiao Chen's powerful soul.
Possessing another body isn't easy, only the most powerful ones among immortals can do it.
He decided to live his life as Xia Chen to give a deserving life to the original owner of the body.
As for both having an almost similar name, one can thanks destiny for it.
His principles were straightforward, he would be cruel to his enemy while gentle to his women.
[A/N: Hereafter, It's his backstory, Honestly I hate writing this cliche, I would rather write paras about classical conditioning rather than this.
If you are curious about how long it had been till this world is created, then I will create an Auxiliary chapter for the timeline.]
The story ranges back to a few billion years ago.
Xiao Chen was a heavenly genius at the beginning of his life, he was born immortal.
He was ruthless to his core and earned many nicknames due to it, like Evil Emperor, The Ruthless Immortal, and many more.
Whoever rose against him was killed ruthlessly.
If the Divine emperor who united the realms was feared for his wisdom, then the Evil Emperor was feared for his cruelty.
But all this changed when a girl, name Ye Qingyu arrived in his life, she showed him the way of light and kindness.
She wholeheartedly loved him, but one day she was cruelly murdered by a demon.
If Xia Tian heard this, he would be screaming at his point: "That whore is a diviner, and she let herself be killed, or why would a demon go and kill the wife of Evil Emperor, for no reason?"
If women by instincts are manipulative, then diviners are the very embodiment of manipulation.
All they know is to manipulate people.
After her death, Xiao Chen chased that demon in the Demon Realm for centuries, and finally found and kill him.
He did not stop there and kept killing the demons, centuries passed in bloodshed, and in the end, he realized everything is fruitless.
Nothing would bring her back...
From there he took command of the Demon Realm and ruled it from that moment onwards, there were many girls after in his life but he rejected them all.
It was the moment a human became ruler of the demon realm and ruled it for ages.
He was hailed as Heavenly Demon king.
Later, he married again in hopes of forgetting Ye Qingyu but it did not work out, nonetheless soon he started accepting all the girls who were in love with him.
He got his first child soon after, a daughter from his first wife.
But everything crumbled down.
One day, a mysterious man appeared and inflicted such a mental wound, that he would never forget.
He fucked all his wives and later slaughtered them for no reason, his reasoning was yet again simple, "I thought this would make you angry..."
Who else can be that mysterious man other than Xia Tian?
Xia Tian was a simple person, he does things for simple reasons, it is a pity people do not understand him at all, sigh...
What is the best way to make a man angry? Harm his family, isn't that what he did?
Xiao Chen fought with Xia Tian using everything he had, but that was the day he realized the difference between heaven and earth.
If he looked at other people as ants then that person looked at him as a Toy...
He played with him, and showed many times memories of his wives moaning as he fucked them, he made him even angrier to see how strong Xiao Chen can get, he treated Xiao Chen like a real toy, but doesn't matter how powerful attack Xiao Chen used, he wasn't able to harm him.
At last, he got bored, destroyed his physical body, and left with his name ... The Master of souls.
Xiao Chen doesn't know why was he spared, nor he cared.
He wanted revenge.
He wasn't able to create his body as his soul was partially damaged, so he waited for more than one billion years to let it heal a bit, then he found a body in the mid-level realm and possessed it.
Even now his soul has cracks present in it.
Now he wants to find his daughter in the Demon realm, if she is alive, then he wants to go and find that mysterious man.
.....
