First update today: Chapter 3541! 1/4!
Originally, according to the trajectory Xu Kun had mapped out through the Book of Life and Death's mystical perception, the "fated intersection" of the Huang Race's and Mount Tai Ghost Race's two Star Islands should still have been separated by a vast stretch of law "void" that would require a long voyage to cross.
This sudden close-range encounter not only caught the unprepared Mount Tai Ghost Race off guard, but even Xu Kun himself, the one who had caused it, showed a faint flicker of surprise in his eyes.
This meeting had come far sooner than expected.
However, that surprise lingered in Xu Kun's mind for only an instant.
When he raised his head and looked past his own island toward the gigantic Star Island floating high above, casting an unsettling shadow, he immediately understood.
Of course. In the world of Two Realms Mountain, where laws formed the foundation and gravity the strings, Star Gravity itself was the most wondrous—and hardest to precisely calculate—form of "fate."
It could turn distant horizons into arm's reach, bringing together two races that might otherwise never meet throughout the entire Final Saint War on some coincidental trajectory. It could also cause targets that seemed close at hand to miss each other due to subtle shifts in gravity.
Unlike Xu Kun, who possessed the Book of Life and Death, an overpowered "navigator" that allowed him to lock onto a target's position in advance, the Mount Tai Ghost Race had no such advantage. Although factions within them led by Song Jiang had long received secret instructions from the Asura Race and prepared to provoke the Huang Race in this Saint War, acting as their "blade," all of that depended on one thing—they had to find the Huang Race first!
