Change of Fortune

Previously, the Domain of Law underwent changes, and the Yin Wind invaded it. After Lü Liang's Divine Body transformed, he was bathed in it and was still unable to resist the erosion. But strangely, he did not use his divine power to protect himself. Instead, he did not care about the erosion of his flesh and blood and focused all his attention on controlling endless Dao Arts and Martial Dao Will!

After sensing the change in his Dao Arts and will, he groaned, his whole body trembled, and blood gushed out, scattering like blood rain, each drop falling into his already chaotic Dao Arts and Martial Dao Will.

Change! Shift! Transformation!

The boundless power, drenched in blood, underwent a rapid transformation. In no time, it reassembled and stabilized, then pressed down with a roar from Lü Liang!

Correspondingly, the aura emanating from Lü Liang showed signs of weakening.

Crack!

Qiu Yan knew something was wrong. His Heart Demon Body shattered into several pieces, one after another, leaving behind a series of fragments. He then broke free from the endless pressure, his aura greatly diminished.

On the other hand, the oppressive force descended, affecting the entire Domain of Law, and the Divine Spirit Body had already fallen to the ground, with nowhere to retreat or avoid it!

Qiu Yan's Divine Body had been completely restored and solidified. With a flick of his hand, he threw out a book, which was none other than the book "New World Observations".

The book's pages were opened and quickly flipped through, soon reaching the last page, a picture of a pavilion. Immediately following, a Divine Sense was activated, and the picture unleashed a powerful suction force, like a bottomless pit, directly facing endless pressure, swallowing up the hundreds of Dao Arts and Martial Dao Will that were bearing the brunt.

This amount was but a drop in the ocean compared to the overall oppressive force. Although the painting of the pavilion absorbed it, it was still difficult to stop the endless power that slowly bypassed the book and poured towards Qiu Yan himself!

"This crisis cannot be overcome by one person alone; it requires the united will of everyone!"

In the humble hut in the Lin Zhong, Qiu Yan's Fleshly Body swung his arm, the brush moving with his hand, a streak of ink flashing across the paper like lightning. With a few strokes, it formed a polished weapon, its not-so-sharp blade gleaming with a cold light.

The weapon was held by a man standing at the boundary between the tribe and the forest. His silhouette was clearly defined, his body upright, one hand holding the blade, both feet firmly planted on the ground, exuding an aura of unwavering strength. Against the backdrop of the surrounding scenery, he evoked in the viewer a sense of steadfast resolve.

In front of this person is a continuous forest. Behind him is a tribe living in an isolated Lin Zhong.

While everyone else sat in the center of the tribe around the campfire, he alone faced the unknown dangers of the Lin Zhong.

The dark forest and bright fire made the figure appear so lonely, like a candle flame in the wind, ready to be swallowed up by unknown dangers at any moment.

Qiu Yan paused, his eyes fixed on the figure in the painting, a thoughtful expression on his face. At the same time, his aura continued to rise, his spirit and energy gradually surging and coalescing.

Then, a glint flashed in his eyes, and with a flick of his wrist, the tip of his pen twirled, leaving Dao Mark beside the man. After a few breaths, the marks gradually became clear, revealing several figures.

At this point, the feeling of loneliness dissipated, the scene changed, and the painting exuded an atmosphere of unity and determination!

This feeling, emerging in the blink of an eye, swept away the oppressive atmosphere in the room, like the bright moon breaking through the clouds and illuminating the earth!

At the same time, within Qiu Yan's body, a "bright moon" slowly rose into the sky, which was actually a spirit that gathered many Human Path experiences and insights into life!

This spirit, though lacking the Sage Spirit and unable to invoke external Order, still caused a tremor in both the Divine Soul and the body upon its manifestation.

Then, a smile appeared on Qiu Yan's face. His hands continued to write, his soul trembled, and a roar rose from the bottom of his heart. The Myriad People's Heart Fire were boiling, and the shadowy image of a Great Rui River was faintly formed in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people.

Having the nation's well-being in mind!

Within that altar, a giant ape howled towards the sky!

The sound shook the very soul. The Heart Ape opened its mouth wide and swallowed the spiritual insight. Then, it grabbed with both hands, tore two pieces from the Myriad People's Heart Fire, held them in its hands, arched its body downwards, and burrowed into the Soul Aperture!

Netherworld.

The oppressive force pressed down on Qiu Yan's Divine Body, which struggled to resist, and cracks appeared on its surface.

Suddenly, a deafening roar emanated from the Divine Body. The Heart Ape leaped out of the Subordinate Deity, its body trembled, swelled and grew larger, protruding from the Subordinate Deity body. It raised its two thick arms, spread its fingers, and lifted them upwards! Its feet slammed heavily into the ground, sinking deep into it!

Boom!

The ground shattered, and within a radius of fifty miles, the ground first cracked and then completely shattered!

Shatter! Shatter! Shatter!

The ground caved in, the soil churned, and the entire Domain of Law trembled!

The souls living in the Domain of Law were first drained of their aura and soul power. A portion of them was then mobilized by Lü Liang to attack Qiu Yan. The remaining portion, feeling the tremors of the earth, panicked completely.

However, most of the Karma in this Domain of Law was frozen; even if they were panicked, where could they escape to?

Not only the spirits of the underworld, but also the many deities within the Yin-Yang Pagoda were terrified, their unease growing stronger as they looked at the scene outside the tower.

By this point, even the most obtuse deity, after considering the preceding and following events, would have guessed that the person who fought with Lü Liang was none other than the "Lesser God" Min Yuan.

"What is the origin of this Min Primordial Spirit? Even though you, Lord, have already reached the Third Grade and possess the advantage of the Domain of Law, you still can't subdue him!"

"Luckily we didn't take action, otherwise even if we had the talisman to preserve our consciousness, our fate would have been just as tragic!"

"Didn't Min Yuan just impersonate the Fire Sovereign and the Child-Giving God? To be able to impersonate them so convincingly means he has mastered their auras and Karma. In that case, could it be that these two Fifth Grade great gods were both defeated by him?"

"I heard that not long ago, Min Yuan was only at the Fifth Grade rank. How long has it been? He could very well be the legendary Heaven-Born Deity!"

"Heaven-Born Deity? Even if someone is Heaven-Born Deity, it's impossible for them to advance two ranks in such a short time! Do you think that Heaven-Born Deity's advancement to Divine Grade is the same as that of a mortal cultivator? A cultivator might achieve something in a hundred years, but a deity doesn't remain unchanged for over a hundred years!"

"In any case, you have already gained the upper hand, and victory is only a matter of time! Hmm? Why is your boundless power waning?"

The gods inside and outside the tower communicated with each other through Divine Sense, monitoring the battle situation. Soon, some people noticed that the situation had changed.

After unleashing a torrent of Daoist Dao Arts and Martial Dao Will, Lü Liang manipulated this immense power to sweep downwards, like a massive army passing through, directly overwhelming people with sheer force, ensuring that if you die, you cannot live!

However, during the march, Qiu Yan used his techniques to block several times, and the speed of the downward pressure gradually slowed down. It did not seem to diminish or weaken, but now, the boundless power was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This point was not only noticed by the gods watching the battle, but Qiu Yan, who was at the forefront, also had a profound understanding of it.

"The turning point has arrived! I thought Lü Liang's trump card was similar to mine, but I didn't expect him to have Divine Body transformed into flesh and blood, possessing both life and death, and wielding boundless power. This move rendered my hidden agents completely useless, almost causing me to fail at the last minute, but I managed to pull through."

"The method of simultaneously operating Dao Arts and Martial Dao Will is indeed extremely domineering, but the consumption is definitely not small. Lü Liang and I are both Third-Grade Divine Rank, and we can't sustain this for too long. As long as we get through the initial wave, we can be safe! Now we've finally reached the turning point, it's time to make our move..."

As the thought arose, the Divine Pool within Qiu Yan's body rippled, and a Phantom Books appeared, upon which stood a Crow, turning its head and scratching under its wings.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Book of Fortune should have extraordinary effects. Previously, Lü Liang was in a strong position, making it difficult to directly confront his strength. But after one instance, his momentum waned, and after a third, it was exhausted. Now that his decline is evident, it's the perfect opportunity! It's also a good time to verify my understanding of this book!"

With Divine Sense, the Phantom Books opened, and the Crow on the book flapped their wings, flew around the book, opened their beaks, and bit into the pages, tearing them apart forcefully.

The book, as if in pain, trembled when it was pulled, and was about to close when the Crow suddenly unleashed a strange, contradictory, and unpredictable aura, which invaded the pages of the book.

The book paused for a moment, and in that instant, the Crow tore out two pages!

As soon as the two pages fell, they disintegrated, turning into faint Fortune spread outwards, permeating every part of Qiu Yan's Divine Body, and then seeping into the outside world.

Fortune is elusive and difficult to fathom.

As the Fortune of the book's pages spreads, the surrounding fortune and luck rapidly change and reverse.

"This Book of Fortune is truly wondrous, a priceless treasure. Unfortunately, every bit used diminishes it, and at this rate, the pages will soon be exhausted."

Qiu Yan scanned the book with his Divine Sense and noticed that as the two pages fell, the Phantom Books grew thinner and thinner.

"I don't know if this kind of rare book is only found in Scholar Forest. I don't know when I'll be able to go to Scholar Forest again, or even if I'll be able to get another copy. However, such a precious item is truly heavenly materials and earthly treasures. If I get it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's fate. I shouldn't be too greedy."

As Qiu Yan changed his mind, the shadow of the Heart Ape stood tall and imposing, like a phantom that enveloped his Divine Body. He raised his hand to resist the boundless power, and the surrounding Karma changed drastically.

The concept of Fortune may sound like a metaphysical and ethereal notion, but in a world where Divine Ability manifest, it is not something that cannot be found. It is not a purely mystical or mysterious concept, but rather a trend formed by the interaction between human desires and the universe. People's Wishes can change Fortune, and some Divine Ability can also reverse fortune.

In this Netherworld Domain, Lü Liang, as the master, originally held the advantage in Fortune and seized the opportunity to almost drive Qiu Yan to the brink of despair. However, the moon wanes after it is full. He used the power of the Domain of Law, the Netherworld Souls, the believers, and the Yin-Yang Pagoda to raise his power to the extreme, and his own Fortune also reached its peak.

After the peak comes the decline, and Qiu Yan seizes this opportunity to change his fate with the Book of Fortune!

When the two clashed, one's strength rose and the other fell. When Lü Liang's energy was high, Qiu Yan's Fortune would be low, and vice versa. Taking advantage of the opponent's declining fortune to improve one's own seemed mysterious, but it was actually like the two ends of a balance scale. When one side adds weight, the other side loses some advantage.

There was no Wi-Fi in the room, only a wired connection, so update times fluctuated significantly.
