Defying Fate in Handong: Crushing the Chosen One Hou Liangping from the Start

I am Su Yexiao, a native of Handong. At twenty-four, I rose to the top of Handong's young officials, blessed with the Supreme Sacred Body of All Living Beings.

Then, one night, I awakened and glimpsed the truth of the world: this entire world is a script!

Everyone's fate was written in advance. All living beings are pawns, destined only to pave the way for the heaven-chosen protagonist, Hou Liangping, who arrived from elsewhere to ascend to godhood.

Qi Tongwei struggled toward his death. Gao Yuliang's plans crumbled, and his path was destroyed. Zhao Ruilong's prosperity came to nothing. Sha Ruijin worked to make someone else shine.

And me? My talent surpasses them all, and I possess the power to shape the world, yet the script forcibly strips away my opportunities. I am destined to be buried in obscurity, reduced to a nameless background character!

An outsider, favored by the Heavenly Dao, steals Handong's fortune and climbs to the summit of the righteous path by trampling on the fates of its people?

Absurd!

I am the native rebel against fate in this world. I will protect this land and command the lifeblood of its people!

Through government reform, I seize the merit destined for the chosen one. In political struggles, I tear apart the fate already laid down. In the trials of the mortal world, I ascend to the sacred path of the Bodhi Sect!

Hou Liangping sees Handong as a chessboard on which to ascend to godhood?

I will take all living beings as my path, the land as my foundation, and the ancient Daoist legacy of this world to crush every heaven-chosen outsider!
