The Struggle for Fortune: Words May Become Prophecy
Outside the flying boat.
"Junior Sister Qin, is the mission complete?"
Seeing Qin Li come out, Gu Chen asked her.
Qin Li nodded, looked at everyone present, and said:
"Thank you all for your help with this matter."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen smiled:
"We're all Master's disciples, helping each other is only right."
Qin Li nodded slightly, though she didn't say anything more, her expression showed a hint of change.
In her previous life, she gradually ascended to the Emperor Realm, becoming stronger and stronger, but also increasingly lonely.
Now, I've been at Hidden Origin Peak for quite some time.
The atmosphere and the way things are done here always manage to touch her.
"So, shall we go back to Hidden Origin Peak to rest next?"
Mu Fan asked a question and stretched his body:
"Dealing with the Beast Race every day these past few days has been exhausting. I desperately need to find a quiet place to lie down and get some rest."
"That should depend on Master's decision," Xiao Ye said, looking into the void.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changzhi stepped forward and said:
"Whether you stay or leave is your own decision. There are no other forces' descendants left in the secret realm now, only the sect's patriarchs are lurking in the shadows. You can use more methods as appropriate."
"If you don't want to stay, you can go back to Hidden Origin Peak."
Upon hearing this, Mu Fan inquired:
"Master, are you planning to go back?"
Lu Changzhi nodded.
Mu Fan immediately put on a shy smile and said:
"How about Master gives me a ride back with him?"
"Okay." Lu Changzhi nodded.
You'll be in charge of piloting the airship.
Mu Fan's expression stiffened, and after a moment, he gently shook his head:
"My hunch was right."
Lu Changzhi smiled but remained silent.
Currently, the area available for exploration within this secret realm is very limited.
Furthermore, he had already taken out his three leeks.
The younger generations of other factions also left one after another.
While the Nine-Story Tower did offer some assistance, that was only true after breaking through to the Saint Realm.
For now, I should go back and prepare for breaking through to the Saint Realm.
According to the system, his Lightning Tribulation might be more difficult than that of ordinary people.
Recalling the incident where the tribulation of Lightning Tribulation Lin Tianlei, the patriarch of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, destroyed the secret realm, he still did not intend to stay in the secret realm to undergo the tribulation.
Judging from what the ancestor said, they are currently busy with the matter of moving the Nine-Story Tower.
If something were to happen to the secret realm, it would be a waste of all the hard work the ancestors had put in.
Afterwards, I asked for other people's opinions.
As expected, Gu Chen and Qin Li chose to stay.
Xiao Ye, Luo Ling'er, and Jin Fugui planned to return to Hidden Origin Peak.
Therefore, Mu Fan controlled the Void Shuttle, carrying several people, and headed towards the exit of the secret realm.
"Is this the end of the secret realm?"
Beyond the secret realm, within the Heaven's Chosen City.
Countless people gazed at the entrance to the secret realm, whose light was gradually fading, their expressions complex.
"It must be, after all, no one has come out for a long time." Someone spoke softly, as if recalling something, then shook their head:
"When the secret realm opened, countless people went in. Now that it's closed, probably less than a third of them have come out. The probability of being trapped inside is far too high. We'll have to think twice before entering in the future."
After he finished speaking, someone glanced at him and sighed softly:
"Brother, if there's no other way, with no connections and no resources, if we don't try our luck in a place like this, who knows when we'll be able to advance? And if we don't advance, who knows when we might encounter danger? Either way, it's not good. At least in a secret realm, we can take a gamble."
A simple sentence, yet it left the other person speechless.
In this world where strength reigns supreme, being weak and lacking connections is the original sin.
Some people, witnessing the entrance completely disappear, turned their gaze towards the central area of Heaven's Chosen City and said:
"With the end of the secret realm, this Struggle of the Heaven's Chosen has come to a complete close. The final rankings should be revealed in the next few days."
"I've heard that the top prodigy this time is very likely to be that Buddhist Order disciple from the Extreme Arms Holy Land. Although his performance was remarkable, I heard that he was tricked by the Nine-Story Tower at the last moment. Whether he can make it into the top ten is still a question."
"In the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, there are rumors that Dai Tianfeng, the foremost of the prodigies, has yet to emerge. Some say Dai Tianfeng was attacked by a powerful Beast Race in a secret realm and has died, but it's uncertain whether that's true."
"Then wouldn't the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty suffer a huge loss?" Someone asked, an incredulous expression on their face.
"From the very beginning, it was said that this secret realm was related to the struggle for the destiny of the Land of the Four Directions. The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty has been busy for so long, but if it can't win the title of the top genius and the destiny, and then it loses Dai Tianfeng as well, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"Who knows? Let's wait and see how the powerful figures from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty react when the final results are announced."
The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
Inside the temple.
Powerful figures from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty sat in the hall, discussing matters.
The news of Dai Tianfeng's death has been widely known, and based on current information, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty can only secure one spot among the top ten.
This outcome was undoubtedly unacceptable to most of the powerful figures in the Holy Dynasty.
Therefore, some people suggested that they should pass off inferior goods as superior ones.
Of course, such a statement is still quite harsh.
Therefore, there is another explanation.
Strategically reduce losses.
"No need."
After listening to everyone's discussion, Zhou Mu gently shook his head.
"It's just some resources; let them hold them for now."
After a pause, a sharp glint flashed in Zhou Mu's eyes:
"In a little while, it won't be difficult to get it back."
If nothing unexpected happens, with Luo Zhen's body, Father will likely be able to truly reach the Saint King Realm.
At that time, although it would probably take time to destroy the Extreme Arms Holy Land.
However, for a place like the Cloud Heaven Holy Land in the Northern Region, crushing it would be a piece of cake.
As for the present, we should take advantage of Luo Zhen's unique ability to recover quickly from injuries and become stronger with each injury, and make sure he is properly injured and recovers, so as to get his body to a usable level.
Shortly afterward, the discussion ended, and Zhou Mu returned to his residence.
After some time, Ji Bochang the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty came and said:
"Saint King, there is bad news."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu looked over, his brows furrowing slightly, and asked:
"Uncle Ji, I see you have a furrowed brow. Is something important on your mind?"
Ji Bochang nodded and said to Zhou Mu:
"Now that the secret realm has ended, I've observed and calculated for the Holy Dynasty. Perhaps, unintentionally, this battle for the secret realm has become a self-fulfilling prophecy."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ji Bochang sighed softly:
"The Holy Dynasty's fortunes, whether due to this secret realm or other events, are in a state of great decline. In the near future, a calamity that could endanger the Holy Dynasty may occur, and preparations must be made for this."
Zhou Mu's expression darkened slightly.
The initial claim that the secret realm involved destiny was merely a ploy to entice all parties to exert their utmost effort; now, suddenly being told that it might have been an unintended consequence is a lie.
Somewhat unacceptable.
Looking towards the distant Heaven Grade, Zhou Mu said:
"Uncle Ji, for the next period of time, I'll trouble you to go and see if the fortunes of other forces have also changed."
If it truly has something to do with the secret realm, then find a power with favorable energy and seize it.
It's not easy to do anything about fate, but plundering is certainly not difficult.
At this crucial moment of my father's breakthrough, we must not allow any trouble to arise because of luck!
