Innate Gourd Vine! Di Tian: You Think You Deserve to Talk to Me About Destiny?!

"Big Brother, it has been more than ten thousand years since we went to Purple Cloud Palace."

"Who knows what kind of mess those brats back home have gotten into."

"For this journey to claim Father God's blessing, let Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, and Hou Tu, Little Sister accompany you."

"I need to take Second Brother and the others back to deal with any possible problems."

Di Jiang was merely rash by nature, not brainless.

The other party had clearly already regarded this destined opportunity as something in his own pocket.

If all of them went along together, then unless there were more than a dozen treasures hidden within, their presence would only make things difficult for Di Tian.

"Then you should return first."

"Once I have gathered Father God's bestowed blessing,"

"I will head to Pan Gu Temple as soon as possible to meet with you."

"May Big Brother have all his wishes fulfilled, with blessings filling the heavens."

"We'll be going ahead. Farewell!"

Di Jiang clasped his hands in farewell to him with Zhu Jiu Yin and the others, then instantly transformed into a rainbow streak and flew toward Pan Gu Temple!

"We should go as well."

With that calm order, Ran Deng led the way ahead. Seven Innate Star Gods guarded the surroundings, the Wang Shu Three Sisters followed closely behind, while Hou Tu and the other two provided support from the outer perimeter.

They headed toward the place shrouded in divine phenomena!

Though the distance between the two seemed close enough to make out at a glance, the actual distance was incomparably vast.

Every member of the group possessed at least Great Luo Later Stage cultivation. It took them several months to reach the place covered by the divine phenomena.

"Big Brother, Di Tian has come too!"

Tong Tian had originally been studying the Array Formation, searching for a way to open it in advance. When he saw Di Tian's group advancing with overwhelming momentum, his eyes immediately flashed with wariness and resentment.

"Do not meddle in unnecessary affairs."

Seeing that everyone in Di Tian's group was above the Great Luo Later Stage, Taishang immediately rebuked Tong Tian.

"We are only seeking our own destined opportunities."

"As long as he does not provoke us,"

"Do not say another word, lest we suffer an undeserved calamity!"

Seeing this, Tong Tian could only withdraw his gaze and focus intently on the Array Formation.

He hoped to divert his attention while quickly breaking the grand formation and leaving this troublesome place.

"The Three Pure Ones, Fuxi and Sister, Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, and those two mangy birds. Quite a complete gathering."

Di Tian swept his gaze across the surroundings and discovered that all the owners of the Seven Treasure Gourds from the original course of events had arrived.

A trace of mockery and amusement rose in his eyes.

Destined opportunities were decreed by heaven?

As the master of the Heavenly Dao and lord of the Primordial World, there was no such thing as destiny for him!

As long as it existed within the Primordial World, everything had to follow his will!

If he was in a good mood, then he could grant amnesty to all, and everyone would get a share.

But if anything displeased him, anyone who dared to fight over it without permission would be charged with treason!

"Buzz—"

Just as Di Tian's thoughts began to stir, the myriad phenomena blanketing heaven and earth began to fade!

The grand formation protecting the Innate Seven Treasure Gourd Vine also collapsed into brilliant rays of light within a few breaths, merging into heaven and earth.

What it revealed was the Innate Seven Treasure Gourd Vine, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots. Bathed in seven-colored divine light, it took root in the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and coiled across the barrier of Time and Space.

Its entire body radiated boundless Creation Divine Radiance!

Yet although the treasure had appeared, Di Tian had already arrived.

Whether it was Taiyi, Taishang, Yuanshi, Tong Tian, and Hong Yun, who had sensed their destined opportunities, or Nuwa, whom he had personally recruited, none of them dared take the first step.

"Since none of you are making a move, I won't stand on ceremony."

After saying that, Di Tian led Wang Shu and the others slowly before the Innate Seven Treasure Gourd Vine.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this treasure is destined for you. Take it."

He plucked the Purple-Cyan Gourd, which in the original course of events had been refined into the Demon Summoning Banner, and tossed it to Nuwa.

Then he plucked the Purple-Red Gourd and tossed it to Hong Yun, who stood not far away.

"Fellow Daoist, this treasure should be destined for you. Take it."

The two looked at the gourds in their hands, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

Shouldn't only they themselves know about their heaven-decreed opportunities?

Why did Di Tian know so clearly?

Even someone specializing in the Way of Cause and Effect should not have been able to distinguish them so precisely, right?

Still, no matter how doubtful they were, neither forgot to thank Di Tian for granting them treasures.

"Thank you for your gift, Emperor."

"The opportunities belonged to you in the first place. I merely lent a hand."

"If you have the time someday, you may come find me on Ziwei Emperor Star."

"Once I reward you with a few suitable magic treasures, you can thank me then."

As he replied with a light laugh and wave of his hand, the Three Pure Ones watched with hopeful yet suspicious eyes.

But Di Tian did not continue distributing the remaining treasure gourds as they had expected.

Instead, he collected the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, the Innate Gourd Vine, and the five Seven Treasure Gourds hanging from it—four large and one small—into the Chaos Pearl!

"Big Brother, I can't endure this any longer!"

Seeing that Di Tian had taken all of their opportunities in one sweep, Yuanshi immediately wanted to attack and take them back.

"Second Brother, don't be impulsive!"

When Taishang saw Wang Shu and the others turn their attention toward the three of them after Yuanshi's furious shout, a chill instantly ran through his heart, and he hurriedly restrained Yuanshi by force.

"My Second Brother has recently been troubled by excessive inner fire and shows signs of cultivation deviation."

"He did not act deliberately. I hope Ziwei Emperor will forgive him."

"I will take him away at once. We certainly will not disturb your enjoyment any further."

After saying that, without caring about Yuanshi's resistance, he forcibly sealed him inside the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

Then he called for Tong Tian and fled the scene at top speed.

What a joke!

The three of them combined were no match for Wang Shu alone.

Falling out with Di Tian now would be no different from seeking death!

Under such circumstances, shouldn't they run for their lives?

Were they supposed to wait for all their possessions to be confiscated?

"Taiyi, we should also..."

Realizing that their opportunity was lost, Di Jun did not want to stir up further trouble.

But just as he was about to leave with Taiyi, Taiyi flashed directly before Di Tian.

He even stubbornly demanded the portion of destiny that belonged to him!!

"You want to talk to me about destiny?"

"Do you think you deserve to?"

Looking at Taiyi, this thickheaded fool who had come demanding his destined opportunity, mockery and disdain suddenly rose in Di Tian's eyes.

"I am the lord of the All Heavens Stars and the emperor of the Star Radiance Divine Court. All Innate Star Gods must obey my command and regard me as supreme."

"Anything they obtain naturally belongs to the Star Court as well."

"No matter how much you deny it, the Great Japanese Source exists within you. You belong among the Innate Star Gods."

As he spoke, Di Tian slowly walked before Taiyi and looked down at him from above.

"Back when you fought over the Prayer Mats at Purple Cloud Palace,"

"Did you really think no one dared provoke you because you were so powerful?"

As the question fell, Di Tian suddenly grabbed Taiyi by the head. With a cold smile, he patted Taiyi's cheek.

Then, with a mocking gaze, he told him the truth.

"Stop dreaming."

"They only yielded to you because they feared the might of the Star Court!"

"Without me holding the fort, what right did you two mangy birds have to seize the Prayer Mat seats!"

"And now you dare mention destiny to me."

"You really think far too highly of yourselves!"
