Outside Earth, there was a floating meteorite in space. Fate Maiden stood on it and looked at Earth with a strange expression.
Lu Yin walked out.
Fate Maiden looked at Lu Yin. To an outsider, she was still a white cloud, but from Lu Yin's perspective, he could see her true appearance.
"You were looking for me, Daozi?"
The Lady of Fate looked at Lu Yin and spoke slowly.
Lu Yin politely asked, "How did you know?"
"I'm the successor of fate." Fate Maiden smiled. She was clearly a cute little girl, but her gaze was so deep that it was as if she could see through the world.
Lu Yin stared into her eyes. "Why did you choose me?"
Fate Maiden shook her head. "It wasn't my choice. You fought for it yourself. No matter who becomes the Daozi, I will help them."
"And the reason?"
"Fate's choice."
"What did fate choose?"
"The future."
Lu Yin's eyes went wide. "You can see the future?"
He wouldn't have believed it in the past, but now that he had traveled through time, there was nothing to doubt. Fate could divine a person's future, and it was likely related to time. If she could see the past, then she could see the future as well.
Fate Maiden shook her head. "Fate can, but I can't."
Lu Yin replied, "Back then, the Starsibyl Sect did a divination and said that a great calamity would befall the human race. They asked me to protect them during that calamity. Someone called Xuan Jiu used the Mystic Heavenly Mirror to divine me and said that I was an inauspicious person. Anyone who follows me will not have a good ending. Who should I believe in?"
Fate Maiden smiled. "Both results are the same. Why choose?"
Lu Yin was astonished. "Same results?
One wants me to protect them, which is equivalent to following me. The other says that I'm an inauspicious person and cannot follow me. How can the results be the same? "
Fate Maiden asked, "What if the timing of these two outcomes is different?"
"What do you mean?"
"Xuan Jiu said that you're an inauspicious person, but he didn't say that you won't be able to resolve the calamity. The Starsibyl Sect wants you to protect them, but they didn't say at the beginning of the calamity, much less when you're still an inauspicious person."
Lu Yin understood. "You're saying that the Starsibyl Sect's divination results are much later than Xuan Jiu's?"
"Perhaps. They have their ways, and I have mine. Even if Fate is here, her divination methods and results may not be the same."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Then I definitely believe in fate."
Destiny's Daughter laughed. "But I'm the one helping you right now."
He looked at her seriously. "I want to hear the truth. Why are you helping Daozi?"
The Lady of Destiny said, "The results of the divination."
"What's the outcome?"
Lu Yin was curious.
The Lady of Fate's expression was solemn. "For the past twenty years, I have constantly divined the future of humanity. One of the results was that the Ancestral Sword will walk on behalf of the heavens."
Lu Yin's expression changed.
"The meaning of this sentence is very simple. Whoever has the Primogenitor's Sword can walk on behalf of the heavens, and the Primogenitor's Sword will only appear in the hands of a Daoist," the Lady of Fate explained.
Lu Yin exhaled. These people's words were getting more and more mysterious. He couldn't ask the Fate Lady to think of a way to convince him like he had with Lan Xian. She was a Fate Lady, and no matter who died, she probably wouldn't die. He could use Progenitor Chen's power to kill her, but what would be the point?
The Lady of Fate was helping him.
"Senior."
"Don't call me senior. Just call me Destiny's Daughter."
Lu Yin nodded. "Destiny's Daughter, what's going on with Big Sis?"
This was the main reason why he had sought her out. Twenty years ago, Big Sis had been captured and forcefully taken in as a disciple. The Lady of Fate had to explain this.
The Lady of Fate wasn't surprised that Lu Yin would ask this. "Do you know Lei Qingqing?"
"Of course."
"Did you know that she often changes her appearance?"
"It's related to her cultivation technique," Lu Yin said. This was what Highsage Leon and Big Sis had always explained to the outside world. Of course, he now knew that it had nothing to do with her cultivation technique.
The Lady of Fate shook her head. "It has nothing to do with her cultivation technique, but it can also be explained as a side effect of cultivating too many techniques. We call this side effect the Hundred Transformations."
Lu Yin was shocked and blurted out, "The Hundred Transformations Netherworld?"
The Lady of Fate smiled. "That's right. She was the Hundred Transformations Netherworld from back then."
Lu Yin was even more shocked than when he had seen the Primogenitor's Sword. Big Sis was the legendary Hundred Transformations Netherworld?
People of this era didn't know much about the Netherworld Progenitor, but what they did know was enough to know how terrifying the Netherworld Progenitor was. Not only was he the ancestor of the You family, but he was also from the same era as the Grim Reaper and Destiny.
When he had visited the You family, the You family had said that if it weren't for the Yōu word, they wouldn't have believed that the Netherworld Progenitor existed. The Undying Scripture might have come from the Netherworld Progenitor.
Lu Yin had asked the Starsibyl Sect to perform a divination, but he had divined that the Netherworld Progenitor was Undying Yushan.
Undying Yushan, the Undying Scripture, the Yōu word, the Netherworld Progenitor, and the gaze that had been staring at the You family. All of these together were shocking, but Lu Yin had never imagined that all of this would be related to Big Sis.
Ever since Big Sis had been picked up by Highsage Leon, she had constantly changed. No one could explain this phenomenon, and no one had ever thought that it was related to the Hundred Transformations Netherworld.
"Is she really the Netherworld Progenitor?"
Lu Yin asked again, looking at Destiny's Daughter in disbelief.
Destiny's Daughter replied, "When I arrived in this era, the first person I looked for was her. The Netherworld Progenitor is of the same generation as the Grim Reaper and Fate. She collected countless techniques and turned them into the Demonic Scripture, which is all-encompassing. If the Martial Ancestor created the martial steles to teach humans how to use weapons, then the Demonic Scripture contains all sorts of strange and even evil techniques."
"Why are you looking for her?"
Lu Yin asked.
Destiny's Daughter replied, "She's been accepted as a disciple. Doesn't the Daozi know about it?"
"Didn't you say that the Demonic Scripture contains evil techniques?
I thought you wanted to deal with Big Sis, "Lu Yin said.
Destiny's Daughter smiled. "Since the Primogenitor allowed the Netherworld Progenitor to exist, it means that she hasn't done anything outrageous. Why would I want to deal with her?
She's an ancient Progenitor, so wouldn't it be better to take her as a disciple?
If she recovers one day, I'll have profited. "
Lu Yin sighed in amazement. This was Fate, a good investment.
"How did the Netherworld Progenitor become Big Sis?"
"I don't know. Before I was frozen, the Netherworld Progenitor was still the Netherworld Progenitor."
"So you won't do anything to her?"
Lu Yin stared at Destiny's Daughter.
Destiny's Daughter replied, "Does the Daozi not trust me?
In any case, I've already accepted her as a disciple, so she's free to go wherever she wants. I won't care. "
Lu Yin suddenly thought of something. "Do you know the Yu family's ancestor?"
"I think there was such a person, but he hadn't become a Progenitor in our era. He was only a half-step Progenitor."
It was normal for the era to be different, as it was impossible for all the Progenitors that Lu Yin knew of to have become Progenitors in their era.
"What about Ce Wangtian?"
Lu Yin asked again.
Destiny's Daughter was astonished. "He's a Progenitor, and he's not an ordinary one. However, Fate said that he's a little crafty."
Lu Yin looked at her. "You should know the Mysterious Sky Mirror."
Destiny's Daughter smiled and winked slyly. "If I say yes, does that mean that the Starsibyl Sect is part of the Fate bloodline?"
Lu Yin didn't deny it, as that was exactly what he thought. He had investigated the Starsibyl Sect's origins before, but he hadn't been able to find anything. They were too mysterious.
Starsibyl had once said that she didn't believe in Fate, and if that was true, then they had nothing to do with Fate. However, Xuan Jiu had asked her for Fatesand, which was something that belonged to Fate. Why would Xuan Jiu want it?
He only knew the Mysterious Sky Mirror, so there was only one possibility: the Mysterious Sky Mirror was related to Fate.
Now that he had returned, Starsibyl had appeared behind Destiny's Daughter, so Lu Yin couldn't help but think that way.
The Starsibyl Sect might be the Disciples of Fate.
"Daozi, there are some things that you need to investigate yourself. I can't tell you everything, especially when it comes to Fate. Only the things that you investigate yourself can involve Fate."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "I don't want to involve Fate, but I do need your help in divining a person."
"Undying Yushan?"
Destiny's Daughter asked directly.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "Starsibyl told you that?"
"I've been investigating you over the past two days. The Starsibyl Sect now belongs to me, so whatever they know is also known to me. I know everything that you've divined through the Starsibyl Sect."
"So you should know how shocked I was when I found out that Big Sis was the Multiform Netherworld."
"The Undying Scripture indeed came from the Demonic Scripture, and the Demonic Scripture was created by the Netherworld Ancestor. However, so many years have passed, and no one knows what happened to the Demonic Scripture. Fate isn't omnipotent, and Undying Yushan has remained hidden to this day. All traces of his appearance on Earth have disappeared, and it's very difficult for me to find him."
Lu Yin's head hurt. Even Destiny's Daughter found it difficult to find Undying Yushan. Just what was he trying to do?
Furthermore, there were traces of him on Earth. Since Destiny's Daughter had said that all traces of him had been erased, then that meant that all traces of him on Earth had disappeared as well. Lu Yin had instructed Wang Wen to secretly send people to keep an eye on Earth, but even all traces of him had been erased. Undying Yushan was quite capable. Even Hen Xin had been tricked by Wang Wen and Wei Rong, but Undying Yushan had managed to slip away.
Dai Ao and the rest had not joined the Three Ultimates Heaven's Gate after the ten-person wager. With Hen Xin's cautiousness, anyone who joined the Three Ultimates Heaven's Gate after the wager, no matter how talented they were, would not be able to represent them in battle without passing the test. However, Dai Ao and the rest had joined the Three Ultimates Heaven's Gate from the very beginning.
This was especially true for Zhi Xu, who had been one of the first to join the Three Ultimates Heaven's Gate when it had first been established. He had also been a spy that Wei Rong had tossed to the Three Ultimates Heaven's Gate. Unexpectedly, he had coincidentally been chosen by Hen Xin to join the ten-person team.
"Lu Daozi, do you have any other questions?"
Destiny's Daughter asked.
Lu Yin raised a finger. "Help me divine a word, a person, and an item."
Destiny's Daughter laughed. "Do you think that my divination is easy?"
"At least it's easier than the Starsibyl Sect's. I mainly want to see what abilities the successor of Destiny has," Lu Yin said.
Destiny's Daughter shook her head. "Divination is not easy. Furthermore, with your status, asking for a divination is definitely not an easy task. Forgive me for not being able to agree."
"Then, can you at least tell me what exactly Fatesand is?" Lu Yin asked. He did not expect Destiny's Daughter to agree so easily. What he wanted to divine was naturally not something simple.
