"He had to spend decades healing his injuries in the palace?!"
Ning Chuan's eyes flickered as he patrolled the street, deep in thought.
If Yin Zhu stays indoors, his safety will be greatly improved.
Within the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, one can move more freely and without restrictions.
A mere First-Grade Law King and Marquis like himself couldn't see through his disguise; no matter how many there were, it wouldn't make a difference.
This is a qualitative suppression!
However, for Yin Zhu, staying in the palace for an extended period was not entirely a good thing.
Such a precious treasure as the Origin of the Great Dao of Space-Time, even if not stored in the imperial palace, would not be too far away.
How can he possibly seize it when it's guarded by a top-tier True God?!
"Do I have to wait ten years until the Chaos Law are perfected, until I can rival True God, before trying to seize it?" Ning Chuan frowned slightly, unwilling to accept this outcome. He thought to himself, "The key is that by then, I can at best survive against the Yin Zhu, and I won't be able to confront it head-on. The chances of successfully seizing it by force are slim!"
"As a former Immortal, Yin Zhu's methods are probably even stronger than Ye Yuexue's!"
As his thoughts raced, Ning Chuan remained calm and analyzed the situation rationally.
"My advantage is that no one knows I've left Martial Star."
" The Origin of the Great Dao of Space-Time is not particularly precious to True God and Immortal; it's impossible for True God to reside in it day and night!"
"Take it one step at a time. At the very least, we need to know where the Origin of the Great Dao of Space-Time!"
Ning Chuan nodded to himself, then peered into the main hall.
"Father, I will appropriately enhance my understanding of the Space-Time Law and strive to condense the heart of the Space-Time Law within a million years!"
Yin Wuzhou said firmly.
His emotions have improved considerably.
It wasn't that his ambition for martial arts was shattered, but rather that he felt he couldn't see Ning Chuan's talent and strength, and that he would never be able to catch up in his lifetime.
But the Star Core of the Yin Star gave him hope again!
"Your strength is already approaching that of King and Marquis or noble. I will not interfere with your cultivation; you can arrange it yourself."
Mystic King nodded, pondered for a moment, and then instructed, "However, when you return to the All Saints Manor and meet those geniuses from those hegemonic forces, you should restrain your temper and not follow Ning Chuan Chuan's example."
He was walking a path to his death.
A balance of flexibility and principle is essential for a brighter future!
Ning Chuan remained speechless.
The young scout seemed to be right; the Mystic King's personality was indeed somewhat narrow-minded, and he couldn't stop talking about him.
"I see."
Yin Wuzhou agreed, then, after a moment's thought, asked with some confusion, " The All Saints Manor is planning for a complete revival in the future, so why recruit geniuses from hegemonic forces, or even the divine sons and saintesses of past generations? Those people are already deeply bound to their respective forces; they would never betray us!"
"Recruiting those people is simply to make them realize that they can cooperate with external forces to plot against Martial Star!"
Mystic King grinned, giving Yin Wuzhou a meaningful look, and said, "When the opportunity to achieve Immortal is right before your eyes, if you were in that situation, would you give it to your father, your grandfather, or keep it all for yourself?"
Yin Wuzhou's expression changed, and he said, "Father, I..."
Mystic King waved his hand, interrupting him, and said with a faint smile, "Becoming stronger is human nature; there's nothing to be ashamed of!"
"But remember one thing: given the nature of the Martial Star experts back then, it would be extremely difficult for any outsider to refine Martial Star. Only experts like your grandfather had a greater chance of success. You can plan for your own Martial Star, but the prerequisite is that it cannot fall into the hands of other forces."
"Yes!"
Yin Wuzhou answered solemnly.
Next, the father and son discussed a great deal of information about the All Saints Manor, which took most of the day to conclude.
Seeing this, Ning Chuan stopped paying extra attention and continued patrolling the recreation area, using mind reading to glean intelligence from the minds of the soldiers and officers.
The Blazing Sun Army's duty shifts are not short, after all, the soldiers are powerful, and even the weakest among them are at the Sea Realm.
After many days and nights without sleep, nothing could be more relaxing.
By the time Ning Chuan finished his patrol, the Sun Core was not far from the base.
Along the way, Ning Chuan made great progress, uncovering a wealth of intelligence.
Although the location of the Origin of the Great Dao is still unknown, there is already a detailed understanding of the Military Department and the Yin Family.
Much of this information is difficult even for dominant powers to obtain.
Most importantly, Ning Chuan already has a specific plan for the next steps.
Take Yin Wuzhou as the breakthrough point!
"I've been on the Sun Core for nine days now, and my strength has increased again. I should be able to cross the threshold of King-Bestowing, but I'm still not strong enough to fight head-on against a top-tier King and Marquis like Yin Xuan, who has reached the perfection of First-Grade Law, let alone True God who wields the Rule!" Walking back to camp, Ning Chuan's mind was clear as he pondered his plan, "To quickly seize the Origin of the Great Dao, I can't act recklessly!"
" Yin Wuzhou is a good target. His strength is far inferior to mine. Whether I kill him later to disguise myself or make him work for me, it will be much easier than with the other high-ranking members of the Yin Family!"
Ning Chuan secretly made up his mind.
Soon, Ning Chuan returned to the barracks area, exchanged pleasantries with his colleagues on duty, and then went back to his residence.
Swish...
As soon as the door closed, Ning Chuan had a thought, and endless darkness rose up, filling the relatively spacious barracks.
This is one of the techniques from the Desolate Heavenly Art, which can conceal intense fluctuations.
The next moment, Ning Chuan took out the Supreme Heavenly Gate and placed it in front of him. Two vortexes, one black and one white, shone in his eyes, deep and mysterious, and he began to circulate the Heavenly Dao Art.
This Dao Art can not only glimpse the future and confuse the secrets of heaven, but it was also feared by various forces mainly because... it can alter the fate of living beings!
Make living beings act according to the caster's will!
Buzz...
Two vortexes, one white and one black, swirled continuously, like a cycle of life and death. Before long, Yin Wuzhou's figure appeared in Ning Chuan's sight.
Unlike normal investigations, Ning Chuan could see that Yin Wuzhou's body was connected by countless "invisible lines," densely packed, permeated with an aura of intertwined attributes such as cause and effect, fate, and time.
By altering invisible threads, one can change a person's future!
"If I wanted to, I could make a normal person contemplate suicide and act on it." Ning Chuan's eyes were deep as he gazed at the many invisible lines. "This change is not about control or manipulation, but entirely based on the individual's own will!"
However, Ning Chuan knew in his heart that changing one's fate was not easy.
It is far more difficult to drive someone to suicide than to kill them yourself.
Moreover, the stronger the target, the harder it is to change their fate. The process may be detected, or even impossible to change!
However, once successful, they will almost never be discovered!
Ning Chuan stared at the invisible line connecting Yin Wuzhou, his eyes narrowing. He activated the Heavenly Dao Art and the Great Dao of Heavenly Fate, attempting to modify the invisible line.
The vast majority of them are difficult to shake.
Even the few invisible lines that can be altered are incredibly heavy, like mountains and peaks; after only a small change, they have already reached their limit.
If they try to force a change, not only will it fail, but Yin Wuzhou will also notice.
Of course, given Yin Wuzhou's level of understanding, he couldn't perceive the invisible threads within himself.
However, this will manifest in specific behaviors, such as a sudden, inexplicable unease, questions like "Why would I do this?", and further suspicion that someone has cast a curse to manipulate his soul.
"After all, he's a powerful figure approaching the level of King and Marquis!"
Ning Chuan shook his head.
Such minor changes were far from enough to make Yin Wuzhou work for him and help him profit.
However, Ning Chuan was not worried.
If the Heavenly Dao Art and the Great Dao of Heavenly Fate could only be like this, then the Supreme Heavenly Gate back then would not have been attacked and killed by a joint attack from the Martial Star experts.
Ning Chuan moved his gaze along some invisible lines, and before long, he saw one living being after another.
They are all connected to Yin Wuzhou by invisible threads, some more, some less, some thicker, some thinner.
These beings have had interactions with Yin Wuzhou in the past, or will have interactions with Yin Wuzhou in the future.
Among them, several creatures were indistinct, as if shrouded in thick fog, making them impossible to discern.
" True God or Immortal who has a karmic connection with Yin Wuzhou!"
Ning Chuan seemed lost in thought.
With his current level, he is not capable of using Heavenly Dao Art against True God or Immortal.
However, top-tier King and Marquis who have perfected the First-Grade Law are not a problem.
Because, although Ning Chuan could see that Mystic King's figure was somewhat blurry compared to Yin Wuzhou's, it was still relatively clear in general.
Ning Chuan thought for a moment and tried to modify the invisible lines on Mystic King's body.
The difficulty is self-evident.
Naturally, it's higher.
The number and amplitude of the invisible lines that can be altered are less than one-tenth of Yin Wuzhou's.
Ning Chuan didn't pay much attention to this.
He was just testing the limits of his current skill level.
"We can't utilize Yin Xuan, but the beings connected to Yin Wuzhou aren't just top-tier King and Marquis at the peak of the First-Grade Law." Ning Chuan shifted his gaze, spotting a being connected to Yin Wuzhou by multiple invisible lines. " Liang Guan, one of the deputy commanders of the Blazing Sun Army, at the Universe Realm Perfection..."
"This is the perfect match!"
As soon as Ning Chuan had a thought, the invisible lines on Liang Guan's body underwent a noticeable change!
Cause and effect, fate are very complex and do not exist in isolation. When Liang Guan's future changes, Yin Wuzhou, who has crossed paths with him, will inevitably be affected to some extent.
This kind of influence is more subtle than directly altering Yin Wuzhou's future.
Back then, the Lord of the Supreme Heavenly Gate used this method to annihilate many powerful figures of Martial Star.
It's difficult to modify True God or Immortal, so instead of targeting them, we should modify the future of the friends, disciples, and relatives of Martial Star powerhouses, thereby causing True God and Immortal to make wrong judgments, ultimately falling into an ambush and dying!
"The curtain has been raised; the real show is about to begin!"
In the endless darkness evolved by the Desolate Heavenly Art, Ning Chuan revealed a cold smile. His eyes, one black and one white, swirling with vortexes, were unusually deep, reflecting invisible lines of change, like a master puppeteer manipulating the ropes of fate!
