Reverend Insanity: The Gacha System

"Now then, shall we talk, Fang Yuan?" Fang Zhi, the man who claimed to be Fang Yuan's father, spoke calmly as he placed his hands on the arms of the wooden chair and leaned back, his gaze steady and piercing.

Twenty years ago,

A wandering soul arrived at the Gu Yue Mountain and silently took possession of Fang Zhi's body. That day marked the beginning of a carefully laid plan for the future. Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible to hide from Heaven's Will, but being a clone of Li Tian made it achievable.

Fang Zhi looked into Fang Yuan's eyes, but Fang Yuan didn't waver as he returned his father's gaze. He remained unaware of the deeper truth—that Fang Zhi was a clone of Li Tian, who had taken over the body on the very day of the marriage.

As Fang Yuan didn't speak anything, Fang Zhi laughed. "Hahahaha, Fang Yuan, that's why I like you more than your naïve brother Fang Zheng. I'm going to talk this through and then leave you be. But first, I have a question: How many Venerables are there, and who is the most dangerous and ruthless Venerable of all time?"

"The Chaos Demon Venerable," Fang Yuan said in a cold, calm voice as he looked at Fang Zhi.

The Chaos Demon Venerable's real name, along with his existence, had been meticulously erased from this world, leaving only the Venerables aware of him.

Star Constellation, the protector of Heavenly Court, manipulated the narrative, spreading a story that painted the Heavenly Court's victory over Li Tian as decisive and complete. But Li Tian was not one to remain silent. He had used that very opportunity to expose how the Venerables of Heavenly Court had joined forces to overwhelm him—a calculated strike against their image by showing the video of the fight after Li Tian transformed into the new body.

Due to this, the title of the most mysterious Venerable shifted from Red Lotus to Li Tian, who became known as the world's greatest Demon with the infamous name Chaos Demon Venerable. When Li Tian leaked the video of the fight, the Heavenly Court retaliated by exposing his dark history, revealing how he had massacred and extorted countless clans across the world.

He hadn't even spared the otherworldly demons, using them to refine Gu. Additionally, he exploited the souls and human wills of the Central Continent to forge powerful Gu, further solidifying his ruthless reputation.

However, despite these damning revelations, the Heavenly Court chose to withhold details about a certain Gu. They feared that disclosing its existence would incite widespread chaos, so they only addressed select aspects of his crimes.

Yet, even with their power, they couldn't utter his true name, as if some unseen force prevented them from speaking it. Even when Star Constellation tried to help, she couldn't do anything, as the Heavenly Court believed her current form as a will was insufficient to counter Li Tian's influence.

With that, Li Tian gained a legendary reputation, becoming known as the most notorious, ruthless, cunning, and enigmatic Demon Venerable of all the Venerables. He was feared not only for his cruelty and mercilessness but also for his strategic genius, manipulative nature, and ability to stay one step ahead of his enemies.

Until now, nobody had uncovered the true name of the Chaos Demon Venerable, and most believed he had perished, as he had not been seen since that fateful battle.

Even other Venerables might have entertained that possibility, but none of them were foolish enough to believe such an obvious lie. Every Venerable had experienced Li Tian's presence firsthand during their prime, and they all understood the magnitude of his unpredictability.

No one could ever anticipate when or where he would appear, but one thing was certain—he was the most dangerous individual the world had ever known. Even Spectral Soul, who attained the status of Venerable through mastery of the soul path, was insignificant in comparison to Li Tian.

Like other Venerables, he was believed not to have left behind any inheritance—at least, that's what everyone assumed. But what they failed to realize was that the very pawn they were relying on to destroy Fate Gu had already obtained the one and only inheritance of the Chaos Demon Venerable.

Listening to Fang Yuan saying his master's name made Fang Zhi feel immense satisfaction. Although the clones were as ruthless as Li Tian, they experienced the full spectrum of emotions. Li Tian himself was not emotionless—in fact, he had felt more than most. He had experienced love, hate, joy, and sorrow in their rawest forms.

He was not born cold; the world had made him so. He was not born ruthless; the world had forged him into one. He was not born a murderer; the world had forced him to become one. From the moment he transmigrated into the magical world, he had a goal—to achieve it, he was willing to sacrifice anything and everything. But for now, that goal remained a closely guarded secret.

"Okay, I will stop asking useless questions. I will get straight to the point. Fang Yuan, you are a pawn."
