In the Outerverse assembly area, Destiny's Daughter, Skymender, and Starsibyl all spat out blood and looked at each other in shock. "Fate has been activated."
In the Astral Tree Realm, Bai Xianer sat in the Red Flower Garden as red flowers danced around her. She slowly opened her eyes. "Is it time to end this?"
Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face paled, and her eyes were filled with fear. "Fate has been activated."
In the Fifth Mainland's Astral Combat Academy, Lu Yin stepped onto Stargazing Deck and looked at the silhouettes of time in front of him. He saw images of the past, but they flashed by so quickly that he couldn't see them clearly.
His gaze narrowed as he stared at one of the images. The image gradually became clearer, and he saw a pitch-black, boundless cliff that resembled an abyss. What was that on top of the cliff?
Just as Lu Yin was about to take a closer look, the image suddenly disappeared. His body was pushed back by an indescribable force, and he only managed to stabilize himself after taking a dozen steps back. His mind kept replaying what he had just seen, but in that moment, his memories had vanished.
What had he just seen?
He couldn't remember, and his mind was completely blank.
No, this was different from the previous times. He wouldn't forget what he had seen before, but he couldn't remember it this time. What was going on?
What had changed?
Although he couldn't remember the images, his emotions were still fresh in his mind, as if he had seen something inconceivable.
However, he couldn't remember that image at all.
He lowered his head and held the Book of Destiny in his hand. Right, the only thing that was different was the Book of Destiny.
The Book of Destiny belonged to fate, and climbing Stargazing Deck with it might be different.
Lu Yin placed the Book of Destiny on the ground and looked at Stargazing Deck as he walked up step by step.
The Starmaster grew anxious. "Lu Yin, don't activate fate again. Do you want to end up like the Director?"
The Rainmaster, Sandmaster, Trialmaster, and Old Cai all came over to stop Lu Yin, but they couldn't even get close to him with their cultivations.
"Kid, do you want to be expelled from the academy?"
"Kid, we already said that if you climb Stargazing Deck again, you won't be a student of the academy anymore."
They were afraid that Lu Yin would go crazy like the Director, which would be troublesome. With his strength, if he went crazy, he wouldn't just destroy Astral-10, but the entire Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin looked back with a solemn expression. "If I don't climb Stargazing Deck, I won't be alive."
As soon as he said this, the instructors fell silent.
"The Progenitor from before?"
The Trialmaster asked.
Lu Yin nodded. "I'm sorry, mentors. I have to ascend Stargazing Tower and fight for a chance to survive."
He then lifted his foot and stepped onto Stargazing Deck. This time, none of the mentors stopped him, not even the Starmaster. They simply watched as Lu Yin activated his destiny.
In an instant, the same scene appeared again, but this time, he could clearly see a bearded man holding a baby and laughing heartily. There was a gentle woman behind him, and there were only the three of them on the screen.
Lu Yin's eyes reddened when he saw this scene. He had lost his memories, but the moment he saw this scene, he knew that the bearded man was his father and the woman was his mother.
A family of three. It was a very ordinary and harmonious scene, something that most people would think would be normal. However, Lu Yin had an extravagant wish. He didn't want to feel the warmth of a family, but he wanted to at least have some memories of it. However, he didn't even have such a warm memory.
It was the second time he ascended Star Picking Tower.
Xuan Jiu, Fate Maiden, and Bai Xianer all spat out blood again.
When Lu Yin ascended Stargazing Deck a third time, they continued to spit out blood.
The fourth time, they were still spitting out blood.
Fate Maiden was the first to take it, and she quickly contacted Lu Yin. "Daozi, are you activating destiny?"
Lu Yin calmly replied, "That's right."
"Why?"
Fate Maiden's face paled as she spat out blood. She spat out four mouthfuls of blood in a row, and this was no ordinary spit. Each time she spat out blood, she would be severely injured. Even she couldn't take it anymore.
Skymender and Starsibyl were the same.
Xuan Jiu's legs were weak, and he couldn't even walk.
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "I have my reasons. I have to activate destiny."
Fate Maiden anxiously asked, "Every time you activate destiny, we'll be severely injured. Do you want to activate destiny or rely on it to attack the enemy?"
She then reacted. "There's an enemy in the Astral Tree who has the Book of Destiny?"
Previously, Lu Yin hadn't been sure if Bai Xianer had the Book of Destiny. He had only heard rumors and guessed, but after activating destiny for the third time, he was certain.
When he activated destiny for the third time, he saw the bloodstains in the Red Garden. Although he didn't see anyone, it was definitely the Red Garden. The bloodstains and the red flowers on the ground contrasted beautifully.
Bai Xianer had also spat out blood.
Because he was certain of this, Lu Yin activated destiny for the fourth time. At the same time, he would continue to do so.
This was basically a mutual destruction, but it wouldn't be him and Bai Xianer, but the Fate Maiden and the others.
"A great enemy will appear in the Astral Tree, and this person has the Book of Destiny. I can't fight against them," Lu Yin replied, explaining himself to give Fate Maiden some basic respect.
Fate Maiden's expression turned ugly. "So you want to activate destiny to heavily injure her?
What about us? "
"You don't want to die, and neither does she. Just hold on a little longer. If you can't hold on, she won't be able to hold on either."
Her expression turned even uglier at his words. She wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
If Lu Yin wanted to, he could explain himself to her. If he didn't want to, he wouldn't even need to explain.
This was the law of the universe, and this was cultivation. It was just like how she had transferred her karma to those innocent people. Those people had died for no reason, and she didn't ask their wishes.
Lu Yin put down the wireless gu. He didn't feel sorry for Fate Maiden, as she had caused too many deaths to transfer her karma. As for Skymender, if he hadn't controlled the Absolute Path, he wouldn't have known how to deal with it. The only people he felt sorry for were Xuan Jiu and Starsibyl.
He didn't care about Starsibyl's uncertain attitude, but Xuan Jiu was different.
After thinking about it, Lu Yin took out his gadget from his cosmic ring. Ever since he had returned to the Fifth Mainland, he had rarely used it. However, Xuan Jiu didn't have a wireless gu and could only contact him through the gadget.
He looked at the gadget and saw that it was filled with Xuan Jiu's records. There were dozens of them, and Xuan Jiu was frantically trying to contact him.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. Should he accept or not?
That was the question.
In the end, Lu Yin didn't accept. He would apologize to Xuan Jiu in the future, as he was already used to it.
On an island in the Cosmic Sea, Xuan Jiu's face was deathly pale. His hands trembled as he continuously pressed the gadget to contact Lu Yin, but he couldn't reach him. "Pick it up, you bastard. What sin did your Grandpa Jiu commit to have met someone like you?
Are you trying to kill Grandpa Jiu? Hurry up and pick it up. "
Lu Yin looked at the Book of Destiny on the ground and thought for a moment before picking it up.
He continued walking towards Stargazing Deck, and as he took a step forward, the starry sky swirled as countless images flashed by.
He discovered that the images he saw with the Book of Destiny and without it were completely different.
If he didn't hold the Book of Destiny, he would only see some scenes that were related to him, or indirectly related to him. However, when he held the Book of Destiny, he didn't know what he saw at all. After reading it, he completely forgot about it. It was very strange.
It was the same this time. Lu Yin took a dozen steps back, and his face was filled with shock. However, this shock seemed to be accompanied by confusion. What had he seen?
Why was he so shocked?
He had fought with Xia Shenji before and knew countless secrets of the universe, but he was still shocked. What kind of image could shock him so much?
In the Cosmic Sea, Xuan Jiu spat out a mouthful of blood onto his gadget. He despaired. It's over, I'm going to die. Does that bastard even know what he's doing?
It's over. I'm really going to die, and no one will even notice.
In the Outerverse, Fate Lady and the others all spat out blood at the same time. Their faces became increasingly unsightly until they were completely pale.
Jiu Yao, Zhan Lin, and the other Half-Ancestors looked at them strangely, not understanding why they were spitting out blood. Was there an enemy?
Only Lu Buzheng and a few others knew the reason.
Lu Buzheng looked at Fate Lady sympathetically and thought back to the era of the Above Heaven Sect. This woman had been insufferably arrogant and relied on Fate as her backer to run amok across the six continents. She was incomparably respected wherever she went, and even Progenitors had to be courteous to her, even when she was a guest in the Lu family.
Although he and Fate Lady were both leaders of the 12 Elysium Gates, their statuses were completely different. Furthermore, he had been chased down by Fate Lady and had been in a difficult situation for a while.
Now that he saw Fate Lady like this, he felt inexplicably happy. This woman had finally received her retribution.
Fate Lady suddenly looked at Lu Buzheng with a cold gaze.
Lu Buzheng retracted his gaze and no longer looked at her.
Fate Lady wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, but she suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood. Her body swayed, and she found it difficult to stand firm.
It was the same for Skymender.
As for Starsibyl, she had already collapsed and had almost fainted.
In the Red Flower Garden in the Astral Tree Realm, Bai Xianer's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. The ground in front of her was dyed red with blood. She was certain that Lu Xiaoxuan knew that he could use this method to heavily injure her.
No, this can't go on. Otherwise, not only will I be heavily injured, but there's also the possibility of …
She hurriedly contacted Bai Wangyuan.
In the Sovereign Realm, Bai Wangyuan was still waiting for the good news that Bai Xianer and Xia Shenji had killed Lu Xiaoxuan.
However, he did not receive any good news. Instead, he received news that Bai Xianer wanted him to stop fighting.
"What did you say?"
Bai Wangyuan looked at the Cloudpassage Stone in disbelief. Bai Xianer's face was as white as a sheet, and it was obvious that she was heavily injured.
Bai Xianer looked at Bai Wangyuan. "Stop, or I'll die."
Bai Wangyuan did not understand. "Why is this happening?
Who injured you? "
"Ancestor Bai, stop attacking Lu Xiaoxuan immediately. Otherwise, I'm not sure if he'll die, but I'll definitely die," Bai Xianer said with difficulty. Suddenly, she spat out another mouthful of blood, dyeing the Cloudpassage Stone red.
Bai Wangyuan was shocked. Bai Xianer was too important to the Frigid Immortal Sect. She was practically the future flag of the Frigid Immortal Sect that controlled the Fifth Mainland. Her innate talent, methods, cultivation, and intelligence were all top-notch.
Lu Xiaoxuan had displayed an extremely monstrous innate talent, and Bai Xianer could do the same.
They could not bear the threat that Lu Xiaoxuan posed, and the Frigid Immortal Sect could not bear the loss of Bai Xianer.
