Chapter 1257: A Dao Lord's final glory
Staring at the betting odds, Qiu Tianyu's face betrayed neither sorrow nor joy, but his hand had gone white around his brush.
He had dominated the world for hundreds of years. Even after attaining a Golden Core and becoming trapped inside a mystic artifact, he could still control the course of events and decide whether others lived or died.
Suppressing geniuses was one of his methods of using Borrow False to Cultivate Truth. Through his Judgment Texts, he made others believe he could predict and change the future, and little by little, he would actually acquire that ability.
Over a hundred Judgment Texts had come true without exception. The power of belief accumulated through them was terrifyingly strong, even faintly stirring the Future Star Lord's Dao Fruit and granting him a measure of genuine foresight.
But today, he had lost.
His defeat was terrible. Brutal.
Not only had his Judgment Text gone wrong, but the billions he had borrowed to bet on Chen Yu and the others failing the National College Entrance Examination were about to blow up in his face.
Unless he found a way to make up for it, he was finished.
Quite a few Star Lords hated him. They had long been dissatisfied with him, waiting only for him to expose a weakness so they could deliver a fatal blow.
What was more, his various debts were intertwined. Once they imploded, he would incur the hostility of another group of Star Lords.
The old Golden Core monsters from other families would seize the chance to strike, too. He was already surrounded by enemies.
Had all of this really begun with Chen Yu alone?
Looking back, Qiu Tianyu was astonished to discover how much effort he had spent on Chen Yu.
