Yuancho Wujiang was sitting in the garden of his mansion. His appearance was as always captivating. He particularly looked like a divine prince who had mistakenly entered the world of mortals. He was in a position where he could perfectly watch the sunset.
Yuancho Wujiang had one leg crossed over the other and his jade hand under his chin as he examined the blue screen that only he could see. Behind him were several servants and guards, but no one dared to disturb his pleasant time.
"Now that I see, I have a beginner's gift pack that has been stored since the system was awakened. I'm curious about its rewards," Yuancho Wujiang said, gazing at the option for the beginner's gift pack with some contemplation. Five days had passed since the Fate System of the Heavens awakened within him, yet he hadn't had much opportunity to explore it.
He had even forgotten that he had a beginner's gift pack. Perhaps this was because the awakening of the Absolute Negator Body had excited him, and he wanted to increase his cultivation as quickly as possible. He also had to prepare for the Four Kingdoms Assembly.
Even though he had advanced to the Innate Realm, his power was not enough to compete with other participants and be among the top ten. Therefore, he needed to significantly increase his power in the next two days.
Yuancho Wujiang examined the information related to the gifts he had received. From the names alone, it was clear that the three rewards were anything but simple. He was curious to know what they were.
Yuancho Wujiang was quite shocked as he absorbed the information provided by the system. He had expected the system's three rewards to be exceptional, but not to this extent! Each of these three rewards was enough to spark a world war. Who knew how many ancient monsters and specialists roamed the world? If they discovered the treasures in Yuancho Wujiang's possession, things would get critically dire. He needed to be cautious.
Before pressing the "Yes" option, Yuancho Wujiang returned to his mansion. He anticipated that absorbing the Essence of Universal Intelligence could cause a great commotion. The Essence of Universal Intelligence contained a vast amount of information, so absorbing it couldn't be simple.
After taking off his beautiful silk robe and placing it on a lovely table, he sat on his warm and soft bed and swallowed the strange golden substance in his palm. This was the Essence of Universal Intelligence given to him by the Fate System of the Heavens. As expected, upon swallowing the Essence of Universal Intelligence, an excruciating pain was inflicted on his body and soul that he had never experienced before.
If not for his incredibly strong willpower, he might have died under the pressure of this unbearable pain.

Outside the main gate of the Glass Fire City, a group of four, consisting of two boys and two girls, stood. It was clear from their appearance that they had just arrived in Glass Fire City, the capital of the Kingdom of Fierce Hell. From their looks, they were truly remarkable.
Among them, an excited girl shouted, "Big Brother Liang, we're finally here. I really want to see the markets here." Her appearance was extraordinarily beautiful. In her black attire, she had a curvy and admirable figure. Surprisingly, she looked like an innocent girl who made others want to protect her.
The boy whom the beautiful girl called Big Brother Liang was no less excited. He was Liang Chongxiang, the young master of the Liang family, the lord of the Sky-Filled City. With his hands on his waist, he said, "As the capital of the kingdom, it truly has a special grandeur that even my Sky-Filled City lacks. The aura of Innate Realm cultivators is almost everywhere." Then he looked at the beautiful girl and said with a gentle and self-assured tone, "Haha! Rest assured, I'll buy the entire market for you, Qinqing!"

The girl named Qinqing, whose full name was Miao Qinqing, was Liang Chongxiang's childhood sweetheart and current lover. Pouting her cherry lips, she said with a grumble, "Hmph! Just boasting!" Yet, in her heart, she felt a sweet sensation. Liang Chongxiang scratched his head awkwardly, causing the fairy-like girl beside them to laugh.
In terms of appearance and other aspects, she completely surpassed Miao Qinqing. If Miao Qinqing was a perfect beauty, then this girl was a goddess from the Nine Heavens, whose every move on earth could topple nations.
The boy who appeared to be the leader of the group smiled at the beautiful girl, then looking at Liang Chongxiang, said, "Now is not the time to explore the markets. First, we need to book four rooms at an inn. It will soon be dark, and the girls are tired."
Miao Qinqing smiled beautifully and said, "Big Brother Yang is right. We can visit the markets tomorrow."
Liang Chongxiang had no objections. Although he said with a puzzled look, "Big Brother Yang, don't you have the king's personal insignia? Why should we go to an inn? Besides, not going to the palace upon arriving in the capital is like insulting the king."
Yang Zhufan replied with a bitter smile, "Ah! I hadn't thought of that." In the end, he decided to go to the palace, as the hospitality there was undoubtedly better than an inn. Besides, he had a good relationship with the king.
The group of four headed towards the palace. The royal palace was located in the northern part of Glass Fire City. It was the area where the most powerful family in the Kingdom of Fierce Hell, the royal family of Huo, resided.
As they walked through the streets, many gazes locked onto them. Two handsome boys and two beautiful girls! It was an incredible combination. Most eyes, however, were on the beautiful girl beside Yang Zhufan. She was very beautiful, easily comparable to a fairy. Many even tried to approach her, but Yang Zhufan scared them off. How foolish, how could he let anyone get close to this beautiful girl who had captured his heart?
Although Yang Zhufan didn't know exactly who Yun Xianling was, he was sure she didn't have an ordinary background. This girl had appeared almost three months ago after that unpleasant incident and had been with him ever since.
Yun Xianling seemed indifferent to everything. It was as if she wouldn't have been here if it weren't for Yang Zhufan.
After a while, they arrived in front of a magnificent palace. Hundreds of grand palace buildings, like ancient beasts, were built on eye-catching stone platforms with beautiful carvings. Malicious auras emanated from them, causing Liang Chongxiang and Miao Qinqing to turn pale with fear.
Meanwhile, a boy accompanied by a group of attendants emerged from the palace. He could be considered handsome, but he was easily overshadowed by Yang Zhufan. The young boy initially glanced at Yang Zhufan and the others, but soon lust and desire appeared in his eyes. He had slept with many girls but had never encountered girls as beautiful as these two, especially Yun Xianling, who looked like a fairy from the Nine Heavens. She was so exceptionally attractive that the young boy couldn't help but imagine taking her to his bed at night.
Noticing his gaze, Yun Xianling became cold. Not only her but also Miao Qinqing's eyes were filled with disgust. Liang Chongxiang shouted coldly, "Where are your dog eyes looking?"
The young boy only then noticed Yang Zhufan and Liang Chongxiang. With some disdain, he said, "You just disrespected me. But since I am a kind-hearted person, I'll forgive you. Leave the girls and go before I change my mind."
Liang Chongxiang laughed coldly. "Damn dog! You make me sick."
Hearing Liang Chongxiang's cold and insolent tone, the young boy's face turned cold. He shouted, "Do you know who I am? I am Zhang Huan, and my father is a first-class official. Guards, kill those two boys for disrespecting a superior and keep only the girls."
At his command, the ten guards behind him immediately rushed towards Yang Zhufan and Liang Chongxiang. However, this was the worst mistake of their lives. They were swiftly killed by Yang Zhufan and Liang Chongxiang.
Seeing the fallen bodies of the guards, Zhang Huan's legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground. He was terrified. Pointing a trembling finger at them, he said, "You're dead! Do you know the penalty for insulting my Zhang family?" Yet, it seemed these two didn't hear Zhang Huan's voice. Liang Chongxiang was so furious that he wanted to kill Zhang Huan. But at that moment, an angry voice echoed in the air.
"What is going on here?" Soon, a young boy accompanied by a group of guards arrived at the scene. He had a beautiful and admirable face, and the clothes he wore were from the royal family. Clearly, he was a prince.
Seeing him, Zhang Huan felt as if he had seen his savior. Getting up from the ground, he pointed at Yang Zhufan and Liang Chongxiang and said, "I was on my way to my family's estate when these two rude commoners attacked me, and they killed all my guards." He even added a few more lies, causing the onlookers to curse him in their hearts for his shamelessness. Yet, they could only silently blame him, knowing the power of the Zhang family.
However, the young prince slapped Zhang Huan. The slap was so loud that it sent Zhang Huan crashing into a wall. He was so shocked that he couldn't say anything. He didn't understand why the prince had slapped him.
The prince bowed towards Yang Zhufan and said, "Prince Huo Chenxiong greets the Commander-in-Chief. Apologies for my late arrival."
"What? Commander-in-Chief?" Zhang Huan nearly fainted. Not only him but the crowd also looked at Yang Zhufan with awe. Recently, a legend had been born in the Kingdom of Fierce Hell, and it was about the Commander-in-Chief of the kingdom.
It was said that a young boy had managed to train the kingdom's private armies and build an invincible force in battle. His rank in the kingdom was so high that even the Great General Wei Hantian respected him. It was said that even the king showed humility towards him.
Upon realizing whom he had insulted, Zhang Huan fainted. He wished he had never encountered Yang Zhufan.
Yang Zhufan knew Prince Huo Chenxiong. So, with a nonchalant smile, he said, "It's nothing. Just a small matter." Despite his indifference, Prince Huo Chenxiong respectfully said, "Don't worry, I will deal with the Zhang family. But first, let me welcome you."
