The more stubborn a person was, the easier it was for them to become a madman. This was not only true for those who had undergone Bitter Adversity, but also for ordinary people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the actions of a madman were incomprehensible, but in the eyes of a madman, ordinary people were also madmen.
The Grand Empyrean was high and mighty, and she had her own stubbornness and emotions, but she also had a crazy side to her.
Unfortunately, the Lu family had encountered this side of hers.
When Lu Yin returned to the Above the Sky Sect, the thing that he had been looking forward to the most had happened. All of the Four Way Scales' resources had been accounted for, and he had received a total of a hundred trillion star essence.
A hundred trillion star essence was an amount that Lu Yin did not even dare to think about.
Lu Yin had never received so many resources in one go before.
This amount of resources was enough to stun him.
He knew that the Four Cardinal Scales were rich, and the Minor Ancestor Planets had been given to the Four Cardinal Scales' Junior Ancestor to cultivate. Every Minor Ancestor Planet had a trillion star essence, and Lu Yin had realized just how ridiculous the Four Cardinal Scales' resources were. They had used all sorts of methods to collect the resources in the Cosmic Tree.
Even so, he had not expected to receive so much in one go.
It should be known that a considerable portion of the resources had been taken away by the Lu family before the Four Way Scales had been suppressed. Otherwise, there would have been even more.
Lu Yin's breathing quickened as he stood in the Above the Sky Sect's star essence storage area. He almost lost his composure.
Behind him, an old woman at the level of a Demigod from the Lu family respectfully said, "Young Master, these are all of the Four Way Scales' resources. We're still tracking down the criminals who escaped from the Four Way Scales, and they must have taken many resources with them. Once we find them, we'll immediately send them to you."
Lu Yin was astonished. "You're giving them all to me?"
The old woman smiled. "You need them, Young Master, so I brought them all."
Lu Yin felt a little embarrassed, as the resources of the Four Way Scales should have belonged to the entire Lu family. More importantly, they should have belonged to the Cosmic Tree. He should have been given a large portion of it, but he had not expected to receive all of it.
Giving all of these resources to him could be considered selfish, but it could also be considered a reward for all that he had done for humanity. It could also be considered spoils of war.
The old woman looked at Lu Yin's back, and her eyes were filled with reverence. She had watched Lu Xiaoxuan grow up, and she had never imagined that he would one day grow to his current state. Time passed, and they were both old people.
Lu Yin now had 10.55 trillion star essence, and he still had another 7 trillion star essence that belonged to the Reincarnation Space-Time. However, that did not matter, as the die was not picky.
Perhaps even Yi Xing was not as rich as him.
Now that he had money, the first thing he thought of was the dice. When he thought of the dice, he immediately thought of Enhance, Enhance, and Enhance.
The Book of Destiny.
He took a deep breath; it was time to repair the Book of Destiny.
After announcing that he was going into seclusion, Lu Yin raised his hand and began shaking his die.
Lu Yin's luck seemed to be off the charts, as he had directly obtained three Fate Points. He was filled with anticipation and apprehension as he placed the first Book of Destiny on the upper screen and then began to crazily toss star essence into it.
Repairing a single Book of Destiny required at least six trillion star essence.
In the past, he didn't have such confidence, but now he did.
The only thing he was conflicted about was that if the Book of Destiny was completely restored, it would trigger destiny. But after thinking about it, even if he didn't restore it now, he would still need to restore it in the future. Besides, he wanted to see what his future held.
He wanted to see if fate could really see the future.
As the Book of Destiny continued to fall, the traces of being burned by the flames continued to disappear. With a thud, the Book of Destiny completely landed on the lower layer of the light screen. It had been completely restored, just as he had predicted.
Yes, it was indeed six trillion star essence.
He picked up the Book of Destiny and flipped through it, but he couldn't see any words.
Let's continue. He placed the second Book of Destiny on the upper screen and then it completely fell. Another six trillion star essence had been spent.
Again.
As the third Book of Destiny continued to fall, Lu Yin's breathing became increasingly ragged, and his expression became incomparably solemn.
Would destiny be triggered?
Destiny was one of the six daos of the Three Realms. If destiny appeared at this time, what would it bring?
Even though he had been mentally prepared, Lu Yin still felt apprehensive at this moment.
After a moment of hesitation, Lu Yin gritted his teeth. He couldn't be afraid of the slightest thing when it came to improving. He needed the Book of Destiny to find Bai Xianer's whereabouts, to see his future, and to look into his past. The Book of Destiny was too useful.
If destiny really was triggered, then Ancestor Lu Yuan would be there anyway.
The current Heaven's Above Earth Sect was not necessarily afraid of destiny.
Furthermore, the possibility of destiny appearing was extremely small.
With a thud, the third Book of Destiny fell, completely restored.
Lu Yin picked it up and took out the other two Books of Destiny. He hadn't cultivated the Book of Destiny, but someone else had.
After leaving his seclusion, Lu Yin went to find Bu Tian.
When Bu Tian saw the three intact Books of Destiny in Lu Yin's hands, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Da- Headmaster, this is the Book of Destiny?" Bu Tian was stunned.
Lu Yin tossed the Book of Destiny to Bu Tian. "Are you surprised?"
Bu Tian wanted to curse. Was this a question of being surprised?
This was simply unbelievable. The Book of Destiny had clearly been burned by that flame, and only half of it remained. How could it be restored? And where did these three books come from?
If he remembered correctly, Bai Xianer had the last book. When did the Headmaster obtain the third from Bai Xianer?
Bu Tian looked at Lu Yin with a gaze full of wonder. This person could really create miracles.
It had to be said that Bu Tian's gaze gave Lu Yin a sense of accomplishment. "Let the Books of Destiny converge. I want to see the future."
Bu Tian was put in a difficult position. "Headmaster, I can make the Books of Destiny converge, but to see the future, I need someone who cultivates the Positive and Negative Xuantian Mirror."
"Right, Little Shi has been cultivating the Positive Xuantian Mirror. Headmaster, you can call him over."
Even without Bu Tian's reminder, Lu Yin naturally called for Little Shi. Even without cultivating the Positive Xuantian Mirror, Little Shi could still see the words that appeared when the Books of Destiny converged. This was something that Bu Tian could not do.
Back then, Lu Yin had asked Little Shi to investigate Archaic City and draw out that flame that had burned the Books of Destiny.
Little Shi quickly arrived, and Bu Tian began to converge the three Books of Destiny.
Lu Yin saw the Books of Destiny converge once again. Previously, there had been two books, but this time, there were three. Lu Yin opened his Celestial Eye, and this time, it was different. In the past, he had not been able to understand and had only been an outsider. Now, however, he could see the sequence particles.
He wanted to see just what kind of power destiny was.
The moment the three books converged, Bu Tian shouted, "Little Shi, Positive Xuantian Mirror."
Little Shi nodded and earnestly displayed the power of destiny. Bu Tian also used the Negative Xuantian Mirror at the same time.
At that moment, in the Primordial Space, Lady Fate sensed something and looked in the direction of the Above Heaven Sect.
Starsibyl did the same.
Far away in the Six Paths Society, Xuan Jiu also felt that something was wrong. "Someone else has activated the power of destiny. That idiot."
In a certain area of the Endless Battlefield, Bai Xianer opened her eyes. Her gaze contained a coldness that no one had ever seen before.
It was filled with a sense of distance. A person's eyes were the windows to their soul, but these eyes were completely devoid of emotion.
"Did it activate?
How?
That shouldn't be the case. "
In the Above Heaven Sect, as Xiao Shi and Bu Tian used the Inverse Xuantian Mirror, a strange and profound feeling descended upon them. Lu Yin suddenly looked in a certain direction, and he felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at him. Was it just his imagination?
Or was it the Eyes of Destiny?
The Positive and Negative Xuantian Mirrors were activated at the same time, and the converging Books of Destiny continuously flipped their pages. Lu Yin's Celestial Eye stared at the Books of Destiny, and he saw the sequence particles. That was the power of destiny. He saw a line that stretched into the endless void, and he saw the blurry River of Time. That line crossed the River of Time and extended in two different directions.
Was that destiny?
Lu Yin's eyes widened. Destiny was neither time nor space, and it wasn't some so-called divination. It was a shortcut, a shortcut that allowed one to walk on the River of Time.
A person's life, from birth to death, was about a hundred years for an ordinary person. This line connected that person's life for a hundred years. Through this line, one could look forward and see that person's future. One could also look backward and see what that person had experienced.
Within the River of Time, that person's entire life had been seen, but it was difficult for ordinary people to see through the River of Time. Only that line could do so.
It connected the past to the present, allowing one to see the past and the future. This was destiny.
Since the River of Time existed, there must be something that could cross it.
At this moment, Zhao Ran walked over with a cup of tea. She had brewed some flower tea for the three of them.
The moment she walked over, another line appeared in the Book of Destiny and moved towards Zhao Ran. Another line appeared on Zhao Ran's wrist and connected with the line of destiny.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank. Zhao Ran was indeed related to destiny.
Zhao Ran was at a loss as she couldn't see the line. She could only see Lu Yin looking at her in shock and fear.
Just as Lu Yin was about to use the Book of Destiny to investigate Zhao Ran, Bu Tian and Xiao Shi both spat out blood and collapsed to the ground. The three Books of Destiny that had been connected suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only two books that fell to the ground. The strangest thing was that these two Books of Destiny were exactly the same as they had been when they had been burned in Archaic City.
It was as if Lu Yin hadn't used his die to help them recover.
Lu Yin hurriedly picked up the Book of Destiny. How could this be?
Why had it returned to its original state?
Where was the other Book of Destiny?
Where did it go?
Bu Tian and Xiao Shi both fainted.
Zhao Ran was shocked. "Your Highness, what happened to them?"
Lu Yin looked at Zhao Ran, who was still as confused as before. She hadn't changed after coming into contact with the power of destiny. What was going on with her?
And what was going on with the Book of Destiny?
Seeing Zhao Ran frantically put down the teacup, Lu Yin said, "You can leave for now."
Zhao Ran wanted to help, but she didn't know how to, so she could only leave.
Master Shan arrived and saw Xiao Shi and Bu Tian fainted on the ground. "Young Master, what happened?"
"Ask Senior Mu Xie to come over," Lu Yin ordered.
Master Shan didn't ask any more questions and hurried to the Astral Tree.
Lu Yin himself went to the Wood Dimension and asked Senior Mu Carving to come over.
Both Senior Mu Xie and Senior Mu Carving looked at the two Books of Destiny in Lu Yin's hands in disbelief.
