"I'm not lying to you. Fatesand is related to fate, and you can't afford to offend fate. You obtained the Death God's inheritance and experienced his invincible power. Fate and the Death God are in the same legend, so you should know how terrifying it is. You'd better give it to me, or else you'll be in big trouble."
"Other people don't have that much trouble with Fatesand."
"That's because it's rare. One or two grains of Fatesand can't be sensed, but it's different if there's too many of them. These things will be tainted by fate. If fate wants you to live, you'll live, and if fate wants you to die, you'll die. I was wondering why your future was so miserable.
Lu Yin was speechless. "Why do you want Fatesand so much?
Is the legend of fate true? Is there really an ancestor of fate like the Death God?
Do you want to obtain fate's inheritance? "
"Inheritance my ass! Grandpa Jiu wants to bury it somewhere no one can find it. Then, it'll naturally turn into a sourcebox and never come out," Xuan Jiu said sternly.
"Why?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Xuan Jiu snorted. "Everyone wants to see the future and change it, but changing your own future will also change the futures of others. Do you want others to change your future as they wish?
If fate is real, then it has such an ability. Would you dare to let it come out? "
Lu Yin felt a chill run down his spine. Changing one's own future could be good or bad, but the worst would be someone else changing one's future.
"Do you really believe in fate?" Lu Yin asked.
Xuan Jiu answered, "No, but you can't bet on it. Grandpa Jiu can divine the past and future."
Lu Yin was helpless. "Sorry, but I can't give you the Fatesand. I have a use for it."
Xuan Jiu replied seriously, "Alliance Leader Lu, I'm not joking with you. Fate cannot be touched. Whoever touches it will be unlucky."
"I'm not joking either. It really is useful."
Xuan Jiu sighed. "If you don't give it to me, then don't give it to Starsibyl and the others either. Some people are not what they seem on the surface. Remember that."
Lu Yin looked at his gadget and fell into deep thought. Fate was a heavy topic. Did fate really exist?
Could people control fate?
What was fate?
Was it time?
Did the so-called ancestor of fate mean that time could be changed?
Changing time meant changing fate...
Did fate really exist?
Did the Grim Reaper, Destiny, Martial Heaven, these ancient Progenitors really exist?
Wu Tian had left behind a sword stele, the Grim Reaper had left behind a deathly aura, and Destiny had the Fatesand. From the looks of it, they had indeed existed before. However, aside from these, there were no other traces. If they had existed before, where were they now?
Dead?
Or alive?
Thinking back to Xuan Jiu's words, Lu Yin felt that he was right about one thing: his own fate could not be changed by others.
If the oldest Ancestor of Fate really existed, then he could change the fate of others at will. This meant that he was everyone's enemy.
Regardless of whether their fates were good or bad, they were enemies to others. No one was willing to have their fates changed by others.
From another perspective, if one could change the fate of others, wouldn't that make one a god?
The sapling bounced around happily, as Lu Yin could easily change its fate. It didn't have any independent thoughts right now, and it didn't have the ability to resist. However, if it grew up one day and gained the ability to resist, would it still allow Lu Yin to change its fate?
Lu Yin suddenly looked at the Second Nightking. Xuan Jiu could sense the aura of destiny, which was Fatesand and the Frost Immortal.
Why would there be so much Fatesand in the ruins of the sect?
The Fatesand on the bronze door had obviously been added later. Also, when Mister Feng had mentioned the Grim Reaper's inheritance, the Second Nightking had believed him without hesitation.
Why would he believe that?
"You believe in the Grim Reaper?" Lu Yin suddenly asked as he stared at the Second Nightking.
The Second Nightking frowned. "It's just a legend."
"I'll ask you one more time. Do you believe in the Grim Reaper?"
Lu Yin's tone was low, as Xuan Jiu's words had put him in a bad mood. If the Second Nightking continued to brush him off, he would do something.
The Second Nightking met Lu Yin's gaze, and after a moment, he said coldly, "I don't, but the Bai family does."
"The Bai family?
The Frost Immortal Sect's Bai family? "Lu Yin was astonished.
The Second Nightking nodded. "The Daynight clan is willing to stay in this part of the universe, but we're also helping the Frost Immortal Sect complete a task, which is to collect everything related to destiny. Destiny and the Grim Reaper both exist in the same legend, and the Bai family firmly believes in it."
"The Daynight clan is helping the Frost Immortal Sect collect items related to destiny?
Fatesand? "Lu Yin asked.
The Second Nightking replied, "That's right, Fatesand. This is a mission given to us by the Frost Immortal Sect's Bai family. However, after the First Nightking successfully rebelled against the Bai family's descendants, the mission to collect Fatesand was stopped. Even if the Grim Reaper and destiny are real, it's still too illusory. We're more willing to believe in our own strength."
Lu Yin understood now. It was no wonder why there was Fatesand on the bronze door of the Frost Immortal Sect's secret vault. It had been collected by the Daynight clan, and with the strength of an entire clan, it was impossible for there to be so little after so many years. The main reason was that the Daynight clan had successfully rebelled against the Frost Immortal Sect's Bai family.
The Bai family firmly believed in destiny and the Grim Reaper's existence. When Mister Feng mentioned that Lu Yin had obtained the Grim Reaper's inheritance, even if the Second Nightking did not believe it, he would have believed it because of the Bai family's beliefs. Or rather, he would have preferred it to be true and believed that he could have stolen Lu Yin's inheritance at that time.
The Fatesand behind the bronze door had been collected by the Frost Immortal Sect, so why hadn't they taken it away?
Why had they left it behind in the vault?
Lu Yin exhaled. A legend that even the Bai family believed in might not be a legend. If that was the case, then perhaps Destiny really did exist and was an incomparably ancient Progenitor who could control the fate of others. Was the Fatesand really related to him?
That was truly exciting.
If he could obtain both the Grim Reaper's inheritance and Destiny's inheritance, then what would it be like?
Liu Huang watched the conversation between the two strangely. He did not believe in Destiny or the Grim Reaper. He was a sword fanatic, and he was more willing to believe that someone could create the Fifteenth Sword.
When he thought of this, his eyes burned with passion. Wouldn't it be great if someone could create the Fifteenth Sword?
A few more days passed, and it was not too long before the attack on Bason Flowzone began.
It was also not too long before Balsam arrived, and the two might arrive at the same time.
On this day, a guest came to visit, and Lu Yin had to personally welcome this guest.
Under the lamplight, a shiny bald head was particularly eye-catching. Lu Yin stared at the person in a daze, and then he became ecstatic. "Brother Hui Kong?"
The guest who had appeared at the Ross Empire's stronghold was the bald old man, Hui Kong.
Hui Kong saw that Lu Yin had arrived and laughed heartily. "Brother Lu, long time no see! Hahahaha!"
Lu Yin was excited, and he leapt in front of Hui Kong. "Brother, you're out?"
Hui Kong laughed. "What are you talking about? I wasn't locked up by anyone, so it's normal for me to come out." He then patted Lu Yin's shoulder and sighed. "You've become sturdier again. You're much sturdier than you were during the Sovereign Tournament. Brother Lu, you're truly blessed, hahahaha!"
Lu Yin hurriedly invited Hui Kong to take a seat.
Hui Kong looked at the Second Nightking and then at Liu Huang with a serious expression. "Brother Lu, aren't you going to introduce these two?"
Lu Yin waved a hand and had the Second Nightking and Liu Huang leave.
Hui Kong was shocked by Lu Yin's casual actions, and he looked at Lu Yin deeply. "Brother, I don't understand what you're doing. Those two aren't simple at all. You weren't tricked, were you?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Brother, come and have a seat. I'll tell you about it."
Lu Yin was grateful to Hui Kong from the bottom of his heart, and he felt like a family member. Hui Kong had saved him, and the two had gone through thick and thin together in the Technocracy. No, saying that they had gone through thick and thin together was an exaggeration. It had always been Hui Kong who had taken care of him, given him food, materials, and an oversized cosmic ring. In the end, he had even sent him out of the Technocracy.
Without Hui Kong, Lu Yin would have been trapped in the Technocracy no matter how great his destiny was.
Hui Kong gave Lu Yin the feeling that he was like Big Sis and the others. Aside from the dice, which was a secret that could not be shared with others, Lu Yin could tell Hui Kong everything else.
Although Hui Kong represented the Hui family of the Seven Courts, Lu Yin trusted him and felt that way.
After a long time, Hui Kong stared at Lu Yin, dumbfounded. "Brother Lu." Lu Yin was very satisfied with Hui Kong's expression, and he was pleased. "How was it?"
"Say it again. I didn't hear you clearly."
Lu Yin was speechless.
"The Second Nightking, Liu Huang, you're really something. Brother Lu, you're really daring!" Hui Kong exclaimed.
Lu Yin shrugged. "I had no choice. The situation forced my hand."
Hui Kong slapped Lu Yin's shoulder. "You're strong enough. You're worthy of being my brother. Hahahaha."
Lu Yin smiled bitterly as his shoulder hurt. "Brother, why did you suddenly think of leaving the Technocracy?"
Hui Kong's expression changed, and he looked at Lu Yin solemnly. "Someone from that place has come for you."
Lu Yin was stunned at first and did not react. But then, he thought of something, and his expression changed. "The Astral Tree?"
Hui Kong solemnly replied, "They call this region of space the Abandoned Lands."
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "Who's coming?"
"The Four Way Scales, Wang Shang."
Lu Yin frowned, as he had never heard of this person. It was an expert from the Wang family.
"They're not weak. If it weren't for the fact that I've accumulated some experience in the Technocracy over the years, I would have been done for. That old bastard was forced to retreat, but he'll definitely come again." Hui Kong looked at Lu Yin in disbelief. "What did you do?
How did you provoke such an expert?
I've been committing crimes in the Technocracy for so many years, but I've rarely attracted such an expert. "
Lu Yin pursed his lips. Was there a need to describe himself as committing crimes?
As for Lu Xiaoxuan's identity, Lu Yin did not want to reveal it. It was not that he did not trust Hui Kong, but rather that he was afraid of causing trouble for him. "Brother, there are some things that are better left unsaid. At least, now isn't the time. In any case, I'm in big trouble, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I'm the public enemy of that region of space."
Hui Kong subconsciously rubbed his bald head. "I'm convinced. I've been in the Technocracy for so long, but I'm still not the public enemy. You're amazing." He was speechless.
