Capítulo 1207: Chapter 351: The Truth of Destiny?
“The more land the demigods from the Outer Realm conquer, the lower the fate of the indigenous races will be.”
Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, Venerable Yuan Gu shook his head slightly and said, “If it were really that simple, it would be good.”
He said, “But in fact, the fate of my clan and I didn’t just diminish little by little, it plummeted from the peak to the valley very extremely.”
He gave an example, “I still had the fate on the 1st, but suddenly on the 2nd, right after midnight, the fate was gone.”
“Is this normal?”
“Moreover, when I was favored by fate before, every dice I threw came up six, not even a five.”
“And when I was not favored by fate, every dice I threw came up one, no other numbers.”
“Is this normal?”
Fang Ze was slightly stunned.
Venerable Yuan Gu continued, “And guess why the demigods from the Outer Realm were all passive in the early stage, while they went all out in the later stage?”
“It’s because many Venerables discovered that even if hundreds of Venerables pressured at the early stage, it couldn’t change the battle situation! Instead, it would cause that world’s power to rapidly expand!”
Speaking of this, he revealed a secret, “Do you think Blue Blood Venerable gained his great fame in Heaven Beyond the Heavens just because of his strength?”
Fang Ze said, “Isn’t it because of his strong power?”
Venerable Yuan Gu laughed, “Yes, it is strong power. But why is he strong?”
This time, Fang Ze didn’t know.
Venerable Yuan Gu said, “Because he’s the last monster created by collective action of hundreds of Venerables in early stages in nearly fifty thousand years!”
Saying this, he glanced at the Blood Crocodile Venerable and continued, “Blood Crocodile Venerable should have witnessed Blue Blood Venerable’s power. Although he is strong, he can only fight against three at once.”
“But you must know that during the Domain War, he was facing hundreds of Venerables at the same time! He managed to withstand that pressure alone, and the more he fought, the stronger he became!”
Speaking of this, Yuan Gu said, “You should know the story that has always been spread in the Outer Realm about Blue Blood ice sealing thousands of miles and Jueyan Divine Fire breaking the siege, right?”
Fang Ze nodded and said, “I know. During the Domain War, Blue Blood Venerable came up with a divine skill capable of sealing anything, even demigods couldn’t resist. You were unable to crack it, and as a last resort, you invited a few old monsters from the depths of the Outer Realm.”
“Among those old monsters, there was one with the absolute Jueyan Divine Fire. Then he made a move to break Blue Blood Venerable’s divine skill, and took down the Domain War.”
Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, Yuan Gu burst out laughing and said, “Yes. That is indeed the story deliberately spread by the Venerables.”
Fang Ze keenly caught the implication in his words, “You mean, that’s not the truth?”
Yuan Gu shook his head, “Of course not!”
He said, “Venerables are also demigods and subject to the erosion of time. How could they become stronger as they grow older? Isn’t this against objective laws?”
“Those old guys who linger in the depths of the Outer Realm aren’t really strong, they just have broader experiences and know more inside stories.”
“And during that Domain War, we indeed couldn’t defeat Blue Blood Venerable in time, so we had no choice but to invite those old monsters out. Those old monsters took merely one glance and pointed out our major taboo: the biggest taboo in Domain Wars is aiming for quick victory.”
“In the early stages of a Domain War, World Origin provides support to the Sons of Heaven’s Mandate and the Destined Race without limit.”
“The harder the demigods press, the stronger they become.”
“And now we’ve suppressed Blue Blood Venerable too much, making it impossible to oppose him in the short term. So, the best method is to cease hostilities first and wait until the middle and late stages of the Domain War, when they lose their fate, then strike.”
“Initially, we didn’t believe it, but we tested it according to their method and found it actually worked.”
“So, we waited for a hundred years until the late stages of the Domain War, when Blue Blood Venerable lost his fate, before making a move. After that, it really only took three or four Venerables to defeat Blue Blood Venerable.”
Fang Ze: ….
Fang Ze carefully pondered over the information revealed by Venerable Yuan Gu and then tentatively asked, “So… you mean the World Origin is consciously controlling the Domain War?”
Venerable Yuan Gu chuckled and said, “Be bold. In fact, many of us suspect it is deliberately consuming both sides’ power.”
As Yuan Gu spoke this, inexplicably, a thunderbolt roared across the world. The thunder pierced through the Real World and the Outer Realm, and even in the Demigd Prison, the thunder seemed to be transmitted through layers of space and time.
Hearing the thunder, Fang Ze shivered involuntarily and looked up at the sky in disbelief.
Yuan Gu was also taken aback. The spiritual fire in his eyes flickered continuously for a moment, then he sheepishly suggested, “Shall we continue this conversation in that prison? It feels safer there.”
Fang Ze: …..
Fang Ze inexplicably found Venerable Yuan Gu a bit adorable.
Thus, the three of them transferred to the base, into Venerable Yuan Gu’s cell.
Once inside the cell, Yuan Gu waited quietly for a while, and only after confirming that the thundering hadn’t resumed did he continue, “I’m not the only one who knows about these things. Some older or widely-networked Venerables are also aware.”
“But… you saw the scene just now. There are things that are known but cannot be spoken.”
“So, most of the new generation Venerables are unaware of these matters.”
Saying this, he sighed slightly, “I guess when our generation of Venerables also reaches the twilight phase and goes to the depths of the Outer Realm, those new generation Venerables will be just as unaware as we once were, falling into this cycle.”
He paused and then said with a smile, “After all, some new generation Venerables are still foolishly working for the World Origin, just to obtain some extra Origin Gold Liquid. They don’t realize they’ve already fallen into the World Origin’s scheme.”
Fang Ze: ….
Fang Ze felt that Venerable Moon Rabbit was collateral damage.
While complaining in his heart, Fang Ze couldn’t help but inquire, “There must be a purpose for you telling me this information, right?”
Yuan Gu nodded and straightforwardly said, “Of course.”
“I want you to reflect on whether you’ve also fallen into the trap set by the World Origin, becoming a pawn on the game board.”
He explained, “Every reincarnation world will birth a Son of Heaven’s Mandate. Among these Sons, there will be one Eye of Destiny. Each reincarnation world’s Eye of Destiny will develop unique abilities that can cause tremendous damage to the Outer Realm.”
“But because the ability of this Eye of Destiny is too unique, the World Origin won’t retain them, and the Outer Realm demigods, to minimize losses, can’t let them go. So they are often unable to survive to the end, merely serving as pathfinders for the True Venerable.”
“If you truly are this Eye of Destiny, I hope you can refrain from harming us in the Domain War, leaving us a way out. This might be another scheme of the World Origin.”
“If you trust me, I can also act as an envoy to negotiate with Venerables from the Outer Realm, asking them not to harm you.”
“And if you’re not the Eye of Destiny, then I sincerely hope you can attain the status of a True God and uncover what exactly the World Origin intends to do.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Ze was already deeply furrowing his brow.
To be fair, his development speed was indeed astoundingly fast, and the abilities he possessed were indeed very unique.
But because he was a transmigrator, he also didn’t know whether it was crossing that chose him, or the World Origin of this world.
If there’s truly a huge conspiracy behind this, then Fang Ze must carefully consider his future.
However, all of this is predicated on the truth of what Venerable Yuan Gu said. Fang Ze can’t just trust this alleged truth based on his words alone. He still needs to verify this matter further.
Moreover… just as Venerable Yuan Gu mentioned: if all this is controlled by the World Origin, what exactly does it intend to achieve? Why does it want to consume the powers of the Outer Realm and the Real World? How does this benefit it?
Thinking this, Fang Ze couldn’t help but lift his head. It seemed he needed to increase his pace. He had to apprehend a few more Venerables to probe and inquire!
