How Could I Not Help Others Fulfill Their Wishes? The Plan to Have Leeks Harvest Leeks
“Damn that Gu Changge...”
“One day, I’ll suppress you in an outhouse pit, and you’ll never crawl out for the rest of your life!”
Whoosh!
A streak of light swept past the foot of Supreme Peak.
It was none other than Gu Xianer passing by. She gave a cold snort toward the palace atop the peak.
Only then did she turn around and head toward her usual secluded cultivation grounds.
This scene left the followers trailing behind Gu Xianer somewhat helpless, smiling wryly.
Every time she returned from outside, Gu Xianer never forgot to stop below Supreme Peak and hurl a round of curses at Gu Changge inside.
At first, Gu Changge would appear with a frown and slap Gu Xianer into the ground, teaching her the consequences of asking for a beating.
But as time went on, Gu Xianer seemed to have genuinely grown accustomed to getting beaten up by Gu Changge every so often.
After each beating, she felt her cultivation showed faint signs of breaking through.
Gu Changge’s current strength remained as unfathomable as ever, easily able to suppress her.
When Gu Xianer clashed with Gu Changge, she discovered that this kind of resistance was even more effective than cultivating alone.
This discovery delighted Gu Xianer.
And so she began treating Gu Changge as a punching bag... though every time, it was her own backside that ended up sore from the beating. Gu Changge was ruthless and showed no mercy whatsoever—each slap landed with real pain.
However, Gu Changge seemed to have grown tired of her and soon stopped caring about her provocations.
No matter how Gu Xianer provoked him, he remained unmoved, never showing his face at all.
This actually left Gu Xianer quite unaccustomed and indignant.
Gu Changge’s attitude toward her was growing colder and colder.
And the colder he became, the more determined Gu Xianer was to provoke him.
That said, during this period, her status and position had undergone a heaven-defying transformation.
So much so that many young powerhouses came seeking her out, intending to follow her.
Gu Xianer, who had always cultivated alone, suddenly found herself with followers.
This was something she could hardly imagine and struggled to adapt to.
Some of these followers came because of Gu Changge, wanting to use her status to pay him a visit.
Others were heaven-blessed maidens looking to get on her good side and cozy up to her, yet they would constantly probe for all sorts of information about Gu Changge.
These self-deceiving antics filled Gu Xianer with boundless irritation and resentment.
These heaven-blessed maidens really ought to piss on the ground and take a look at their own reflections—with looks like theirs, they dared to inquire about Gu Changge?
She didn’t say such words aloud, but her contempt was plainly obvious.
Gu Xianer knew full well that all these changes stemmed from that day in front of Skyward Schloss, when Gu Changge declared everything before the entire world and acknowledged her identity as a member of the Gu Family.
Otherwise, before that, she had been an obscure, unknown girl—whenever people mentioned her, the first thing that came to mind was that dazzling, radiant Gu Changge.
But now, many people had forgotten that the distance Gu Xianer walked on the Skyward Path was actually not much less than Gu Changge’s.
Her talent was no weaker than Gu Changge’s.
Especially considering all of this was achieved through nirvana and bitter cultivation after she had lost her Great Dao Bone.
That kind of courage and perseverance alone deserved the admiration of all Cultivators.
Yet under the halo of Gu Changge’s brilliance, people still couldn’t help but overlook Gu Xianer.
Instead, it was Gu Changge—who had frankly admitted his wrongdoing from back then—who became even more dazzling, his prestige once again reaching new heights.
If Gu Xianer knew a word called “hype,” she would absolutely curse Gu Changge with it.
And just like that, time flowed on, and half a month passed.
“The Ancient Sea Palace, the matters of the Celestial Ancient Continent... it’s about time to wrap things up.”
“What a coincidence in timing.”
Sensing something, Gu Changge—who was in the middle of writing a letter inside his palace—couldn’t help but reveal a peculiar smile.
Silver light flashed through his eyes, and scenes from across the Celestial Ancient Continent surfaced within them.
Within the vast territory of the Black Sky Hawk Clan, everything was thriving and prosperous.
It was as if Gu Changge’s arrival that day had been nothing but a dream, leaving no impact on them whatsoever.
At first, the Black Sky Hawk Clan had assumed Gu Changge would send them to battle the other Celestial Ancient Races, fighting over resources and territory on his behalf to further expand his power.
But Gu Changge did no such thing. He didn’t even reveal anything about himself, remaining hidden deep behind the scenes.
This puzzled the entire Black Sky Hawk Clan, but at the same time, it put them at ease. They already bore Slave Marks within their bodies, so submitting to another person wasn’t unacceptable.
Moreover, this person was a hands-off master who left them completely alone.
Such a good deal naturally delighted them, and gradually they stopped caring about Gu Changge’s control over them.
“Thinking quite beautifully, aren’t they? If I kept you around without using you, what would be the point?”
Gu Changge saw through their thoughts and couldn’t help but sneer.
It was simply not yet time to put them to use.
As his slave clan, the Black Sky Hawk Clan remained lying in wait within the Celestial Ancient Continent, without anyone detecting the slightest abnormality.
After all, as one of the most renowned powerful clans of the Celestial Ancient Continent, the Black Sky Hawk Clan’s foundation was truly terrifying.
Even the annihilated Feathered Clan couldn’t compare.
If not for the Entanglement Immortal Spell, it would have been quite difficult for Gu Changge to take control of this clan.
During this period, the terrifying great net he had laid was spreading at breakneck speed.
In just half a month, it had already enveloped all manner of living beings, and the scope it swept across was utterly horrifying.
The main reason was that the Entanglement Immortal Spell had not been exposed.
The Black Sky Hawk Clan’s strength was growing at a rate visible to the naked eye, already surpassing the other clans.
The Ancient Flying Serpent Clan, the Divine Crocodile Clan, and the others saw this with their own eyes and naturally coveted it.
In their view, the Black Sky Hawk Clan must have obtained quite a few good things.
What the Black Sky Hawk Clan didn’t know was that the means by which Gu Changge controlled them was none other than the Entanglement Immortal Spell they had always revered as an immortal scripture.
They had believed all along that it was the effect of the Slave Mark.
The Ancient Flying Serpent Clan and the Divine Crocodile Clan had also been planted with Slave Marks by the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being back in the day—how could they possibly escape Gu Changge’s control?
So in the eyes of the Black Sky Hawk Clan, those two great clans were actually just like them—fish on the chopping block.
Naturally, they held no guard against those two clans.
Throughout this process, Hei Ming, that chess piece, was still very “kindly” passing the technique on the sly to his band of fair-weather friends, intending to spread it far and wide.
Through this, the Entanglement that Gu Changge had left behind spread rapidly.
Even Gu Changge himself hadn’t expected that this chess piece he’d casually placed would ultimately bring him such terrifying returns.
Then, Gu Changge’s figure moved, stepping into the void, intending to head to the Celestial Ancient Continent to carry out the final wrap-up.
Since the Ancient Flying Serpent Clan and the Divine Crocodile Clan were drooling over the Entanglement portion of the technique in the Black Sky Hawk Clan’s hands...
Gu Changge would naturally help them fulfill their wishes and oblige them all at once.
This process and scheme was actually quite simple for Gu Changge—it only required a few coincidental timings and arrangements.
Then he just needed to quietly wait for a while, and that would be that.
He had already waited at Skyward Schloss for half a month, and the timing of his arrangements was now ripe.
As for how to do it?
It was actually very simple.
For example, a member of the Black Sky Hawk Clan, while drinking and chatting with his friends, would unfortunately get “drunk.”
Then he would spill the truth, revealing his clan’s most deeply hidden secret of late—that mysterious technique suspected to be an immortal scripture!
And as luck would have it, experts of the Ancient Flying Serpent Clan and the Divine Crocodile Clan passing by outside would happen to overhear these secret words.
When all these coincidences collided together, it became an inevitability... the Black Sky Hawk Clan’s secret was finally discovered by the Ancient Flying Serpent and Divine Crocodile Clans.
The immortal scripture they coveted so desperately might just be pried out of that Black Sky Hawk clansman’s mouth!
And so the two great clans took the risk, abducting that Black Sky Hawk clansman and interrogating and searching him by all manner of means in secret.
At this point, by sheer coincidence, that Black Sky Hawk clansman, unable to endure the torture, finally divulged the immortal scripture.
With something as precious as an immortal scripture, the Black Sky Hawk Clan would surely have placed Restrictions within their clansmen’s minds.
And at this point, another coincidence was needed to make those Restrictions difficult to trigger.
Although this approach was far-fetched, it was enough to dispel the misgivings of the Ancient Flying Serpent and Divine Crocodile Clans.
Such luck could only mean they were fated with this immortal scripture!
With an immortal scripture laid out before their eyes, how could they possibly choose to give it up?
With this chain of calculations from Gu Changge, the Entanglement could be passed right into those two great clans, letting him control their very lives without lifting a finger.
Through the workings of the Entanglement, he hadn’t taken a single step outside Skyward Schloss during this entire period, yet he controlled the situation hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
And the means amounted to nothing more than controlling a single Black Sky Hawk clansman.
The Entanglement Immortal Spell was poison—any Cultivator or living being who came into contact with it would be infected, coming to savor that state where cultivation speed multiplied many times over and even sudden enlightenment became commonplace.
Naturally, they could never bear to give it up again.
And these chess pieces had now reached the moment for Gu Changge to put them to use.
“The Great Elder has gone to the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan likely won’t take this lying down, much less submit easily. They may even unite the other clans to slaughter the various orthodoxies that have descended upon the Celestial Ancient Continent.”
“This counterattack carries a whiff of a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble...”
Gu Changge’s figure swiftly vanished into the void.
He had been scheming against the Celestial Ancient Races all along; the Great Elder’s appearance was merely the first step of his plan, the fuse.
The Celestial Ancient Continent had been anything but peaceful lately. Numerous old fossils had rushed toward the Celestial Path in search of immortal fortunes, erupting into world-shaking battles that rippled out in all directions.
They wouldn’t give up easily.
During this time, the Celestial Ancient Races had suffered heavy oppression; without the Dragon Clan’s leadership, they didn’t dare resist at all.
And a time like this was the perfect opportunity for Gu Changge to loot a burning house.
In the Black Sky Hawk Clan’s territory, within a resplendent golden hall, Hei Ming was cultivating. His pitch-black wings appeared incomparably massive, as if they could blot out the sky.
From these wings alone, one could tell the level of his current strength and status.
To say he was riding high on success would be no exaggeration at all.
But just then, his heart suddenly trembled—he sensed the long-missed aura of the Absolute Being!
This made him wild with joy. Could it be that the Absolute Being was about to descend again?
Hei Ming’s heart surged with excitement.
“It truly is an unparalleled immortal scripture! The bottleneck I haven’t broken through in so long is actually loosening...”
Within the territory of the Ancient Flying Serpent Clan, an elder of very senior generation couldn’t help but burst into laughter, brimming with excitement and elation.
The same scene was playing out in the Divine Crocodile Clan.
By chance, they had forced this immortal scripture out of a Black Sky Hawk clansman, and after having their clansmen try it out, they immediately discovered its benefits.
No wonder the Black Sky Hawk Clan’s strength had been advancing by leaps and bounds lately, faintly leaving them far behind.
Now that this immortal scripture was in their hands, what was there to fear about failing to catch up?
...
Deep within the Celestial Ancient Continent.
Divine light surged, and immortal auspiciousness shot into the heavens.
Across the many Dragon Islands, numerous Dragon Clan members knelt prostrate on the ground in utter fanaticism, crying out wildly, bowing in worship toward that terrifying phantom high in the sky.
A grand and ancient statue was radiating dazzling brilliance in response to their prayers.
Grand Runes, one after another, brilliant and blinding, rose and fell within the void, about to be projected forth.
An incomparably blurry, majestic figure appeared—merely standing there, it affected the rules of heaven and earth; time ran in reverse and space shattered.
This was an indescribable, world-topping figure. Just by standing there, it exuded an aura of dominating the universe, invincible across all realms!
It bore dragon horns, its arms densely covered in dragon scales, as if it had awakened. Its gaze shone golden, glowing.
“Old friend, do you truly intend to tear up the agreement we made back then?”
This world-topping figure was shrouded head to toe in thick grey fog, yet its aura was terrifyingly strong.
Around Dragon Island, experts from numerous clans and orthodoxies had gathered.
Their expressions varied—some with flickering eyes, hatching schemes; others sweeping their gazes across all sides, intending to fish in troubled waters.
“It seems today’s matter cannot be avoided.”
The Great Elder spoke with a calm countenance. His aura was clearly not terrifying, yet it was as if he alone held down the entire stretch of heaven and earth.
“Back then, you promised to shelter my clan. Countless years have passed since, and it seems that promise no longer holds the slightest weight.” The blurry being was incomparably furious, its eyes ice-cold.
It was not the True Dragon of old, merely one of the True Dragon’s few remaining descendants—and moreover, only an Original Soul phantom of that descendant, not a physical body.
That was why it was wary, feeling it could not defeat the Great Elder.
“Is there no room for de-escalation?” the blurry being demanded. Even now, it still had no wish to fight the Great Elder, knowing full well how terrifying he was.
“None. This old man has already given his word to a junior. The Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan must now submit to him and serve at his disposal,” the Great Elder said indifferently. He already knew what Gu Changge had done that day, so he would naturally honor the agreement.
These words from the Great Elder left many of the surrounding beings and Cultivators shocked and incredulous.
At first, they had all been puzzled by the Great Elder’s appearance—especially when he moved to coerce the Celestial Ancient Races, which left many experts of the Lost Clans bewildered, shaken, and unable to accept it.
Now, hearing these words, they all understood.
Clearly, the junior the Great Elder spoke of was none other than Gu Changge!
Gu Changge had actually forced even the Great Elder—who had always protected the clans of the Celestial Ancient Continent—to this extent. They were stunned and horrified.
The ancient and venerable Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan had actually been cornered to such a degree.
Had the Great Elder not said it with his own mouth, who would have dared believe it?
How exactly did Gu Changge accomplish this?
It was simply too terrifying—nothing like a young man at all!
Many people couldn’t help but shudder inwardly.
“The same young man who slew my clan’s prodigy?” the blurry being snorted coldly, evidently aware of that matter as well.
“That is unimportant,” the Great Elder said indifferently.
He struck, sending a palm killing forward.
At first, this palm was only the size of a millstone, but it swiftly expanded—billions upon billions of divine rays blossomed, like an Astral River cascading down, like heaven and earth crashing down, suppressing forward!
Boom!
“Come, fight!”
“Though I attained the Dao later than you, this Emperor is invincible within my realm!”
As it spoke, the blurry being’s aura turned dreadful, yet a towering divine firmament rose from it, transforming into ten thousand zhang of crimson radiance that pierced the sky.
It took a single step forward, ten thousand Daos trailing in its wake, like the lord of heaven and earth, reigning over all directions.
Without hesitation, it directly unleashed its strongest technique.
All beings and Cultivators paled in fright and scrambled to retreat, yet even so, many were utterly burst apart beneath this single palm, reduced to dust, body and soul annihilated!
A world-shaking great battle erupted once more. Regardless of the outcome, on this day, the Celestial Ancient Continent was, in the end, plunged into great chaos!
...
On the way to the Celestial Ancient Continent, Gu Changge took the opportunity to seriously ponder his next plans.
With Ye Ling, that Fortuitous One, dealt with, following the usual pattern, a new Fortuitous One was bound to appear for him to harvest.
As the saying went—flowing water of Fortuitous Ones, iron-clad Gu Changge—wasn’t that exactly the principle?
But the System had yet to give any notification, which meant he had yet to encounter the Fortuitous One.
That meant Gu Changge would have to go looking on his own initiative.
But just how many people of great Fortuity existed in the boundless Beyond? And among those people of great Fortuity, how many were Fortuitous Ones?
The number was truly enormous—and in Gu Changge’s eyes, these were all leeks waiting to be harvested.
If he further counted the billions of lower-world planes, the people of great Fortuity were simply beyond counting.
And how many of them could he possibly encounter?
“Perhaps I can rely on my all-purpose Fatums to construct a mysterious nation, just like the Main God Temple I knew of in my past life. Otherwise, relying on myself alone to harvest these leeks, who knows how long I’d be waiting.”
Gu Changge pondered seriously.
His strength as one person was ultimately limited, while the leeks waiting for him to harvest were infinite.
Nor did he want to rely on himself, cultivating so-called avatars to search for those of great Fortuity in the lower worlds.
That was far too troublesome, and who knew how much time it would consume.
And Hei Ming of the Black Sky Hawk Clan had given Gu Changge an excellent inspiration.
Since he could masquerade as an Absolute Being, why couldn’t he expand the scope on a grand scale and masquerade as an omnipotent Almighty God?
The Absolute Being and the Almighty God didn’t seem to conflict with each other.
“’Reincarnators’ sounds too cliché. From now on, my leeks shall be called Fate Watchers—that’s much classier.”
“Favored by fate itself, working for me, plundering the Fortuity of the various lower-world planes.”
Gu Changge nodded.
After all, he possessed a supreme World Seed, which, under his evolution, had already gradually taken on a grand and magnificent scale.
Even the dwelling of the Supreme Ruler of ancient times was no more than this.
Four Gates to Heaven stood towering in the east, south, west, and north, grand and lofty.
Each Gate to Heaven was boundlessly magnificent, capable of propping open the four corners of heaven and earth.
After all, the prestige had to be maxed out—otherwise, he couldn’t bluff the leeks into coming.
Gu Changge’s plan was simple: attract a batch of leeks to come work for him, and these leeks would then find ways to harvest the Fortuity of another batch of leeks.
Through this Fortuity, they could exchange for things from Gu Changge.
He would skim a middleman’s margin from it—for instance, a technique the System sold for five thousand Fatums, he could price at fifty thousand, or even five hundred thousand Fatums.
And so on and so forth.
However, with Gu Changge’s current Fatums, he couldn’t yet pull this off.
These were merely his plans for the future—whether he could even reach that step remained to be seen. After all, his goal was not merely the Boundless Heaven, not merely the Beyond, but All of Heaven and Its Thousand Worlds.
He urgently needed a large influx of Fatums.
“Perhaps I should keep an eye on Yue Mingkong’s movements. I’ve put so much effort into her, done so many things—there’s no way she hasn’t noticed...”
Gu Changge saw matters with great clarity.
If Yue Mingkong still harbored killing intent toward him now, that would be far too abnormal.
So next, Yue Mingkong would very likely feel guilt toward him.
And Yue Mingkong’s movements, in Gu Changge’s view, might just lead out the next Fortuitous One.
He rather hoped this Fortuitous One could provide him with a terrifying amount of Fortuity points and Fatums.
Otherwise, many of his current schemes would be difficult to set in motion.
