Chapter 1244: Immortal Lord Deepgloom Wasn’t Lying
All of it made Xu Qing think about the True God he had imprisoned in the Green Heaven....
To mortals, fate was a mysterious thing that could hardly be comprehended. But to most cultivators who walked a path that defied heaven, there was a point in life in which they had to bow their head to fate. When that happened, they would smile bitterly... and admit that they accepted fate. That was just the helplessness of life. It was a way to add meaning to fickle reality. There was no point in fighting it. It was better to just acclimate to how things worked.
Unfortunately... some living things, for instance gods or immortals, were higher forms of existence. To them, fate was not something mysterious. Nor was it something unperceivable. They could see the evidence of fate, and could even lift the veil covering it. Some could even tamper with it, making certain things uncertain, or uncertain things certain.
Back in the Fifth Star Ring, there had been a very famous god known as the god of pain! Bimo Si! Though hē was not a God Lord, hīs godly authority was special. In fact, it was so special that, if hē encountered a God Lord in hīs heyday, that God Lord would treat hīm with honor.
That was because hīs illusions contained truth! That was why, when hē encountered Xu Qing during hīs attempted return, the unleashing of hīs godly authority caused certain things to change.
Right now, the fear within Xu Qing was like the wings of fate flapping. What he had sensed just now, other than something similar to what he had experienced when fighting the god of pain, was an even more important karma. It was... An old enemy he was very familiar with. It was his older brother, the Crown Prince of Violet and Cyan. It was another terrifying entity who also commanded the power of fate.
Xu Qing had long since been fighting back against him. In fact, due to a destined opportunity in Revered Ancient, he had acquired a very similar godly authority!
That was his carving knife of fate! It could carve out additional fates, and make outside variables become the main reality. It could make fates appear beyond ordinary fate. He didn’t have that carving knife with him. He had left it behind with his god clone, back in Revered Ancient. But the karma was still connected to him.
That was the reason for the thoughtful look on Xu Qing’s face. He was thinking about the True God imprisoned in the Green Heaven, and the pain he had experienced thanks to hīs godly authority. His eyes became very cold.
I went to the front lines and ran into the daughter of a god. The God Lord eventually killed everyone.... Is that what happens next? I run into this goddess?
His eyes narrowed as a fierce coldness filled his heart. Eventually, he looked away from the Fourth Star Ring and focused on the work at hand on the battlefield. Occasionally, the same sensation would strike him.
A month went by.
