Playing the Pig and Eating the Tiger: My Funny System is Too Fierce

Chapter 231 The Mystery of the Temple

"We're here." The old Taoist from Kunlun stopped and looked at the desolate ruins in front of him.

The ancient temple had long since collapsed, leaving only a few broken walls. But even so, those broken walls still exuded a frightening aura.

"Be careful," the old Taoist warned, "every stone here holds ancient power."

Mo Tianyou seemed extremely excited, pointing his little hand in front of him: "There... there is something... calling me..."

The third lady couldn't help but hug her son tightly: "Is it dangerous?"

"No..." Mo Tianyou shook his head, "It's something left behind by the beast sisters..."

At this moment, something unexpected happened! The ground suddenly shook violently, and the rubble reassembled itself, forming a magnificent temple in the blink of an eye!

"Not good!" The old Taoist's face changed drastically. "Someone has taken the lead and activated the power of the temple!"

Sure enough, a sinister laugh rang out from the depths of the temple: "You've come just in time. We've been waiting for you for a long time."

An old man in a black robe walked out of the hall, holding a scepter and exuding a strange aura. Even more surprising was the presence of several familiar figures standing behind him!

"It's those defected members of Tianji Pavilion!" exclaimed the niece.

"Hahaha..." The black-robed old man laughed grimly, "Not only is it the Tianji Pavilion, but it also has the inheritance of the Ancient Temple! Why do you think those divine beasts recognized this little kid as their master? It's because he has a mark of the Ancient Temple in his body!"

This news shocked everyone. Mo Tianyou had the mark of the temple in his body? How could this be possible?

But what was even more surprising was that Mo Tianyou suddenly spoke: "You lied... The temple chose me... because... my heart..."

"What does a little kid who's still wet behind the ears know?" the black-robed old man said disdainfully, "Today I'll show you what true power is!"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his scepter, and a powerful suction force erupted instantly! The beasts suddenly screamed in pain, as if something was being forcibly pulled out.

"Not good!" the old Taoist exclaimed, "He is trying to extract the essence of the divine beast!"

The third lady immediately protected Mo Tianyou: "How dare you!"

But the old man in black robe sneered: "It's too late! With these original powers, the ancient temple can be truly resurrected. By then, the so-called child of destiny will be nothing but a joke!"

Seeing the beasts in agony, Mo Tianyou suddenly broke free from his mother's arms. With a wave of his hand, the power of destiny in his body actually resonated with the beasts!

"This is..." The old Taoist was surprised, "Bloodline?"

It turns out that the mythical beasts had already established a special connection with Mo Tianyou. Now that they were in danger, this connection automatically activated, sublimating the power of destiny!

"You don't know your own limitations!" The old man in black robe sneered and swung the scepter in his hand violently.

An even more powerful force erupted, not only trying to extract the essence of the divine beast, but also trying to seize the power of destiny in Mo Tianyou's body!

At this critical moment, something unexpected happened! The temple floor suddenly cracked, and a golden light shot up into the sky. It was a gigantic statue, lifelike and radiating a majestic aura.

“This…” The black-robed old man’s expression changed drastically, “The Lord of the Temple?!”

"Evil creature!" the statue suddenly spoke, its voice full of majesty, "How dare you desecrate the temple!"

It turns out that this statue is the guardian of the ancient temple. It had been sleeping underground until it sensed Mo Tianyou's presence and awakened.

"No... This is impossible!" The black-robed old man panicked, "The Lord of the Temple has clearly..."

"Dead?" The statue sneered, "Though I have fallen, my will lives on. Now that I have met my destined lover, I must help him!"

As he spoke, the statue suddenly radiated a dazzling light. The energies that had been drawn out not only returned to the divine beast but also resonated with the power of destiny.

“This is…” The old Taoist was surprised. “The temple recognizes its master!”

Indeed, when the power of the statue was infused into Mo Tianyou's body, the entire temple shook. The broken walls and ruins not only rebuilt themselves, but also glowed with an unprecedented sacred brilliance.

“No!” the black-robed old man roared, “All of this should be mine!”

He wielded his scepter frantically, trying to seize the power by force. But at this moment, Mo Tianyou revealed an unprecedented majesty. With a wave of his hand, the power of destiny and the power of the temple merged perfectly!

"The bad guys... should... leave..."

As this childish yet resolute voice fell, a golden light streaked across the sky! That light not only destroyed the scepter, but also submerged the black-robed old man and the traitors.

When the light faded, the temple returned to peace. The traitors were completely destroyed, leaving only ashes on the ground.

"It's finally over," the Third Miss breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her son in her arms. "I was scared to death."

But the old Taoist said, "It's not over yet. Now that the temple has recognized its master, it means that the child's future burden will be even heavier."

Indeed, as the new master of the temple, Mo Tianyou not only has to protect the destiny, but also maintain the heritage of the temple. What a heavy responsibility this is!

But the little guy didn't seem to care. He snuggled in his mother's arms and said innocently, "The temple... said they would... teach me... skills..."

"This child..." Mo Yunchen felt both relieved and distressed.

At this moment, the statue spoke again: "We will lend a helping hand to the True Emperor. With the destiny and the Temple's approval, he will surely become a great man!"

As the voice fell, the statue transformed into golden light and merged into Mo Tianyou's body. The entire temple also changed, transforming into a jade pendant hanging around his neck.

"This is the new form of the temple," the old Taoist explained. "It will grow with the little prince."

Miss San looked at the jade pendant on her son's chest, feeling a mixture of emotions. This child, only one year old, already shouldered such a heavy responsibility. Was this a blessing or a curse?

But Mo Tianyou smiled happily: "Mother... don't worry... I can protect... everyone..."

These childish yet resolute words brought tears to everyone's eyes. Was this fate? For an innocent child to shoulder such a heavy responsibility?

"Don't worry," Mo Yunchen touched his son's head, "You have your parents here, they won't let you face this alone."

Looking at the heartwarming scene before him, the old Taoist was filled with emotion. Who could have imagined that an abandoned ancient temple would welcome a new master today? And this new master was still an innocent child.

But perhaps this is God's will: the purest heart is worthy of the most powerful power.
