Heavenly Opposers

"Xiao, are you fine?"

Seeing her child in a daze, Yun Lan spoke. It was only then did Xiao broke out of his daze, looking at his mother with a smile, he shook his head.

"I'm fine, mother," he replied, but his mother didn't buy it as she started to look between Xiao and Valencia. After a few looks, a teasing smile lit up her face.

"Could it be? Love at first sight?... Sigh, my son already cheating on his lover."

"Mother, stop it," Xiao clutched his head, shaking it at his mother's jokes, but then she seriously spoke.

"What about it, Xiao? Are you interested in her? Maybe I could set it up."

"No, mother, never do that."

Instead of getting a mischievous response, what Yun Lan got was a cold, emotionless voice from Xiao, which startled her. Looking at her son, she could see that he was 100% serious. She didn't know why, but she felt some sort of dislike in Xiao's voice. Yun Lan felt that her son didn't want to talk about this stuff.

She was just trying to get a woman she thought might be good for her son. After all, her son is the best! So shouldn't he have all the best women? This was a natural thought of a spoiling mother. But after she heard Xiao's words, she lost all her interest. Anything her son hates, she hates it more. Once again, the thought of a spoiling mother.

'Good, she lost interest,' Xiao thought, relieved that his mother had dropped the subject.

Seeing his mother not paying any more interest, Xiao sighed, and then his eyes focused on the woman standing beside Valencia. She was a beauty with brown hair and eyes, but none dared to lay upon her figure. An intense bloodlust and danger emitted from her, this seemed to be some sort of natural reaction coming from her body.

Her eyes were calm yet crazy, she felt more cold and dangerous than anything. When Xiao's eyes landed on her, respect filled them. There were only a few he truly respected, and the woman in front of him was one. Raena Fareen, or now just Raena Ewald. Even after her so-called 'lover' saved her, she had no hint of happiness.

The only reason she even took his name was that she needed Liam's family's power. Her childish love had long disappeared, and all that was left was a dead heart that beat only for her daughter. She was no longer the stubborn woman who ran after love. She needed his family for her daughter, and if that meant being the man's wife, for that, she did it.

Nothing more, nothing less. It was a pure transaction, and Valencia understood that well. While Xiao felt pity for her, he had no interest in getting close to them. If it was anyone else related to the MC's group, he would jump at the chance to know them. Having connections wasn't bad, but her? Yeah, he had zero desire to talk to her.

Thankfully, with the help of All-Seer, he has altered his fate line and destiny. Its use wasn't just information. Not only does it hide his talent, but it could also lay an illusionary fate over his real one. Not even the number one heavenly pupil can see through it. With this, even if the Gods with divinity come, they won't be able to see through Xiao.

And he was thankful for it. Valencia was the main reason the Heavenly Opposers worked well. After she met the main MC and saw how powerful he was, she made a proposal to create a power to resist the hypocrites of the heavens. She, with her luck and the MCs, traversed the heavens with the main MC. Her eyes saw through all geniuses and their supreme fate.

Many times she would help them and request favors in return, other times they would fall for the MC's charm and become his comrade or brother. Like this, the two of them made a killer combo. It was only due to this that the Heavenly Opposers were born. It was a chaotic time. Thankfully, with his fate covered, he won't have to deal with those old bastards who aim after the best.

The Heavenly Rulers and their stupid eleven seats. In every new Era, new 11 chosen ones are born. What the Heavenly Opposers did was simple: they controlled a part of the heaven's power. Each chosen one had talent and power beyond the ordinary. All the blessed 11 would go through difficulties and finally grow in true power.

But this does not mean that they are above some powers, for example, the shrines, the origin families, or the ones above the fourth heaven. If these Heavenly Court went to fight with them, then they would be toast. In a way, they are protectors of the heaven, people who grew from truly nothing. These are the seats that heaven gives to the ones without power.

After all, there are extremely powerful families, pantheons, and shrines, but it wasn't fair to have powers from just them. Then in the future, all of the heavens would be under their control. Hence, it was made that no chosen Heavenly Rulers would ever be born from named or heaven-recognized families. The Heavenly Rulers would only be born in lowly powers as they rose to power. As all of them would know the value of having nothing.

All of them would be blessed with heavenly luck and destiny. In such a way, no one would have full control over heaven's power. But that had all changed with the current Heavenly Rulers. The ones corrupted sought this power for themselves, and they created the loophole. By nature, the current Heavenly Rulers were not to harm the ones that were to rise, but they found a way.

Manipulating the fate of the chosen ones, they caused pain and suffering. By control, they made it so that the chosen ones never rose. Slowly but clearly, they chipped away their will, peering into the river of fate. They did the taboo by targeting destiny. It was only when the Heavenly Tree took action and slashed away the river of fate did some things changed.

Facing the danger that was coming, talent like no before was being born. The Heavenly Rulers were in chaos. They could leave aside the supreme geniuses of the shrines and families, but from even the lower realms, there was a great spike in the birth of great talents, it was all great disturbances.

The truly powerful ones felt the shift in fate and destiny. The river of fate was gone, none could now gaze into the future, nor could anyone understand the true impending danger. But many did feel the great spike in talent. Everyone knew that things were fishy about the current Heavenly Rulers, but no one could do anything about it.

The authority they had was bestowed by heaven, and it could only be taken away by the next chosen ones, who keep dying like flies. But in this Era, the Heavenly Rulers made their greatest mistake. They started discreetly hunting the lower world's powers that showed any sense of destiny. Heck, they even hunted ones that clearly had no connection to Heaven just out of jealousy.

That is also the reason that Valencia was hurt even though she wasn't a chosen one. Yes, that's right, she wasn't a chosen one for the position of Heavenly Ruler.
