Chapter 818: Destiny Lies Is Upto Me, Not with Heaven
On a hillside in Jinyang City, in the Southern Region of the Great Qian, Old Man Baili was drinking under the moonlight.
Suddenly, a gust of night wind swept by, causing ripples in space, and a figure in white clothes and white hair stepped out.
“You’ve finally come,” Old Man Baili put down the wine jug and sighed.
“Do you have any regrets?” asked the Heavenly Tower National Teacher.
“I regret not being able to see an era of peace and prosperity,” Old Man Baili waved his hand casually.
He stood up and walked slowly towards the Heavenly Tower National Teacher and asked, “How confident are you?”
“I will do what I can,” the Heavenly Tower National Teacher responded lightly.
“Not listening to destiny?” Old Man Baili smiled and asked.
“My destiny is up to me, not with heaven.”
“Very well.”Old Man Baili’s figure gradually dissipated, turning into specks of white light, merging into the body of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher.
A strong breath, like turbulent waves, swept over the surroundings, causing the heavens and the earth to tremble, and the stars to shift.
After a long time, this surging momentum was completely absorbed, until everything became calm again.
The Heavenly Tower National Teacher looked towards the north of the Great Qian.
“Let me, this candle in the wind burn out its last bit of light and destroy your eyes.”
As his words fell, he took a step forward, and his body disappeared instantly.
—
In the extreme north of the Great Qian, in the land of the Rakshasas.
The Rakshasa people, now completely transformed, had merged into the bodies of monsters, gaining far greater power than before, but naturally at a corresponding cost.
They were assigned to the four regions, following the orders of the Rakshasa Queen, to destroy the Dragon Sealing Stele that suppressed the Dragon Veins in various places.
Over a month had passed, and the dark threads had spread across many places, waiting for an opportunity to suddenly rise up and take down the Dragon Sealing Stele.
The Rakshasa Queen looked at the Heavens Eye curiously and asked, “With your strength, you could easily invade this realm without any effort. Why do you need the help of our clan?”
An existence capable of reaching the Transcendence Realm would not be foolish.
She was not blinded by the desire to rule the world; rather, she had no choice.
When she first witnessed the power of that shadowy giant, she knew she was no match for these monsters.
Since she couldn’t break free, she might as well make friends proactively, so that when the world fell, she could also have a place to stand.
Heavens Eye didn’t hide the truth: “If it weren’t for the restrictions in this realm preventing us from entering and unifying the Three Realms, it could have been achieved a thousand years ago.”
Rakshasa Queen was surprised in her heart, but remained composed on the surface, still wearing her beautiful appearance: “So, you insist on destroying the Dragon Sealing Stele here to break this restriction?”
As the ruler of the extreme north of the Great Qian, she naturally had some knowledge of the Dragon Sealing Stele of the Great Qian, which had been established since the beginning of the Great Qian, under the guidance of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher, to suppress the fortunes and Dragon Veins of the Great Qian.
Utilizing the Qi of the Dragon Vein can foster an abundance of talent and prosperity within the Great Qian. Until Heavens Eye approached her, she had never doubted the role of the Dragon Sealing Stele.
“It is and it isn’t,” Heavens Eye spoke lightly. “The Dragon Sealing Stele gathers the Dragon Veins from all over, channeling them into the Imperial City, but it’s only to suppress something there. Don’t you feel curious? The renowned Heavenly Tower National Teacher and Divine Guardian haven’t stepped out of the Imperial City. Let’s not talk about the former for now. With the latter’s strength, he could single-handedly sweep away the Rakshasa Clan in an instant.”
Rakshasa Queen, previously reclining, now sat up straight, her scarf slipping off, revealing her fair and delicate neck.
The storm raging in her heart far exceeded the swaying of her chest; the information in those words was too immense…
The names of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher and the Divine Guardian were naturally famous throughout the Great Qian. Despite the storms and trials the Great Qian had faced since its founding, these two individuals had played an indispensable role.
Especially the latter, although few had witnessed his actions, during the battle with the Candle Dragon, he had thrown a spear from within the Imperial City which was thousands of miles away and severely injured the Candle Dragon. This was something beyond the capability of an ordinary person.
She had even suspected at one point that the Divine Guardian was not human…
Such a person could effortlessly eliminate threats across the four regions once they left the Imperial City, yet together with the Heavenly Tower National Teacher, they had never stepped out.
Now, hearing Heavens Eye’s words, the mist in her mind gradually cleared.
“They’re not unwilling to leave the Imperial City, but unable to? Just like how the Dragon Sealing Stele gathers the power of the Dragon Veins, are the Heavenly Tower National Teacher and the Divine Guardian collaborating to suppress something?” The Rakshasa Queen’s voice trembled with shock, as the revelation was too astonishing.
What on earth was this thing that required such a massive effort to suppress? What in the world could the Divine Guardian not handle?
She hoped her speculation was wrong, but Heavens Eye’s confirmation shattered her hopes.
“So…” The Rakshasa Queen suppressed the rising turmoil in her chest and spoke slowly, “Are you planning to release the seal on that thing in the Imperial City?”
“That’s correct.” The mocking gaze in the enormous eye examined the Rakshasa Queen. “Are you regretting cooperating with us now?”
The Rakshasa Queen’s body trembled slightly, but she forced a smile and said, “How could I?”
Of course, she regretted it!
If such a sealed monster were released, how could there be peace in this world? She was ruthless, willing to sacrifice the entire Rakshasa clan just to secure a peaceful future. But now, it seemed like wishful thinking!
She must secretly stop her subordinates; the Dragon Sealing Stele must not be destroyed… The Rakshasa Queen made a decision in secret. She even considered defecting to the Great Qian. At least with the Great Qian, the entire Rakshasa clan wouldn’t be overturned!
However, Heavens Eye seemed to see through her thoughts and sneered, “Do you think you can still control the Rakshasa Clan now?”
“What do you mean?” The Rakshasa Queen exclaimed in shock.
Heavens Eye casually glanced at the Rakshasa people in the hall, and in an instant, their bodies, which were already abnormal, began to twist and swell.
There was a loud “bang”!
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere, but strangely, the shattered flesh and blood on the ground were still wriggling, as if trying to merge back together.
This scene shocked all the Rakshasa present.
Their bodies underwent changes, but they still retained consciousness. At this moment, their eyes were filled with fear.
The fate of most members of the Rakshasa Clan was now in the hands of Heavens Eye!
“You!” Rakshasa Queen suddenly stood up, her eyes were filled with killing intent and her expression was extremely cold.
“Don’t harbor any other thoughts. From the moment we approached you, the fate of the Rakshasa Clan was no longer in your hands. As long as you behave, when we control the Three Realms in the future, we will allow you to retain a shred of your consciousness.”
The Rakshasa Queen, upon hearing this, turned pale.
The implication was that she would also become one of those half-human, half-ghost monsters!
At that moment, Heavens Eye’s expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look sharply in the direction to the south.
