Destiny Guidance, Auspicious Power

The thunderous voice left Lin Yuan stunned for a moment. His gaze instinctively turned toward the core region of the Great Star Dou Forest, toward that black figure.

Hmm... barring any surprises, that should be Di Tian.

What particularly puzzled Lin Yuan at this moment was this.

With that person's strength, coming over would take no more than the snap of a finger. Why had he not come over?

Lin Yuan was hardly foolish enough to think the other party feared his strength or anything of the sort.

This made Lin Yuan instinctively glance at Gu Yuena. Was it because of her?

But with the lofty God King watching from above now.

No matter what, the Silver Dragon King would not dare defy the heavens. She was currently wanted, after all.

Yet what truly confused and baffled Lin Yuan now was this.

Why had the Imperial Auspicious Beast suddenly walked toward him?

Setting aside the fact that she had been spoiled rotten, the Imperial Auspicious Beast's gaze was strange. She stared fixedly at him, as though she were looking at something else through him.

Lin Yuan found it rather eerie.

After all, according to what he knew, the Imperial Auspicious Beast should have detested humans.

What was going on?

And according to the current timeline, shouldn't the Imperial Auspicious Beast already have been contracted... Pah, shouldn't Tang Wutong's soul already have been stuffed into her body?

What Lin Yuan had overlooked was that after he disrupted the timeline and Xuanzi was severely injured.

Naturally, Xuanzi could no longer lead students out again, especially after so many incidents had occurred before he even led them.

More importantly, the Ice Blast Soul Bone had not ended up with Huo Yuhao.

Although Huo Yuhao had still cultivated to Rank 30 because of this.

The key was that, even though Tian Meng had guided Huo Yuhao to find traces of the Imperial Auspicious Beast, the one who had brought Huo Yuhao here to hunt for a soul ring.

Was only Fan Yu. Under such circumstances, knowing they were outmatched to begin with, and with the Ice Empress having already spoken of the Imperial Auspicious Beast's strength.

Taking Fan Yu's situation into consideration as well, Huo Yuhao merely hid until the Imperial Auspicious Beast left, then reunited with Fan Yu and Wang Dong.

Yet in the depths of his heart, Huo Yuhao felt as though he had lost something, while Wang Dong felt as though she had preserved something.

As for the Imperial Auspicious Beast at this moment, she was even more bewildered.

She seemed to have felt something like this before, but it had been different.

The one she had encountered last time seemed to be someone beloved by the world as well. Yet while she had purely acknowledged him, his human identity naturally still repulsed her.

But the power on Lin Yuan was different. It seemed faintly recognized by this world, yet it was not like something that devoured everything.

Like one was light, and the other darkness.

To the Imperial Auspicious Beast, she naturally did not care for a human existence of light that possessed power similar to hers. Yet this darkness, this sensation that seemed to wish to destroy human soul masters.

It surprised her, but it also felt somewhat unreasonable.

Why had two such people appeared in the same era?

And in that intangible place, she seemed to sense something...

It seemed like an opportunity?

Or perhaps a chance to break free from the shackles of fate?

Yet even she felt confused. Where had this strange and peculiar feeling come from? She was clearly beloved by this world, and barring any surprises, could even cultivate directly to Demigod.

But precisely because she was beloved by fortune, she trusted this intangible feeling far too deeply, despite the lingering doubts in her heart.

Guided by that power, she took several more steps toward Lin Yuan.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena instinctively wanted to take Lin Yuan and leave immediately.

As for Lin Yuan, since he did not sense any killing intent from her, he was not in a hurry to have Gu Yuena take him away. He seemed to have vaguely guessed something.

The Imperial Auspicious Beast's final hesitation turned into resolve, and her trust in that intangible feeling overpowered her understanding.

The distance between them was now very short. Gu Yuena could not even guarantee that Lin Yuan would emerge unscathed if she acted.

At that moment, beneath Lin Yuan's gaze, the Imperial Auspicious Beast closed her eyes and abruptly opened the eye on her forehead.

Even as Lin Yuan's body trembled faintly.

The Imperial Auspicious Beast took the initiative to extend her head.

Then, their foreheads touched.

Boom!!

That terrifying Destiny Power erupted like a thunderclap.

In an instant, it swept through Lin Yuan's Sea of Spirit.

Though he passively received it, his mind was still somewhat dazed.

Just as I thought?

He had completely thrown this timeline into chaos.

The reason he had felt this way was not merely because of his so-called Fated God Slayer and Child of Fortune titles.

More importantly, he had wanted to take a gamble.

And it seemed he had won.

She had actually chosen Destiny Guidance of her own accord.

At the same time, the Imperial Auspicious Beast had initially felt regret as well, but after gradually calming down first.

She discovered that a portion of her innate ability was slowly flowing into Lin Yuan.

To be precise, if this power had to be named, it was auspiciousness.

The Heavenly Stem Qilin behind Lin Yuan was gradually absorbing it as well. Destiny Power and Auspicious Power slowly fused together.

At that moment, Lin Yuan felt as though his martial soul, which had originally been incomplete, had finally received its final puzzle piece.

However, he had no time to experience it. He could only passively undergo the process, because even with spiritual power comparable to a Titled Douluo, bearing the Imperial Auspicious Beast's memories, flowing like ten thousand years of water, still left him exhausted.

The Imperial Auspicious Beast, meanwhile, watched Lin Yuan's brief yet extraordinarily vivid memories, as well as several hazy fragments of memory.

As both of them were left dumbfounded.

The Star Dou Ferocious Beasts, who had originally been prepared to act, were dumbfounded as well.

After all, they knew the Imperial Auspicious Beast had a taboo: Destiny Guidance.

Wasn't merely mentioning it enough to make her explode? Why had she voluntarily done this to a human today?

And Di Tian was already beginning to sense that something was wrong.

The more he looked at Lin Yuan's expression, the stranger it seemed.

He had even recently begun to feel killing intent, only feeling that Lin Yuan looked like some yellow-haired brat at this moment.

During the process of Destiny Guidance, as the Imperial Auspicious Beast stared blankly at those hazy memory fragments.

The sky itself seemed to abruptly change at that moment.

At Shrek Academy, Wang Dong suddenly collapsed to the ground in intense pain, rolling about continuously.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao hurried forward in concern. Yet the pain nearly caused Wang Dong to faint. After the belated pain subsided, she shook her head at Huo Yuhao's concern and said uncertainly.

"I... I don't know where this pain came from either. I just feel as though I'm incomplete..."
