Chapter 1097 Manipulation

【Destiny】 is the most troublesome enemy right now. In some ways, its difficulty is no less than that of the Great Lord of the Turbid World, and may even surpass it.

According to the Heavenly Emperor, it is a madman who harbors pure great wishes but achieves them in the most vicious and insane way.

Simultaneously wandering between the Clear and Turbid Worlds, it once attracted all the powerhouses of the Clear Qi world to attack. Even after death, it did not completely fall, leaving behind a backup plan with the Hetu Luoshu (River Diagram and Luo River Scroll). After the Hetu Luoshu was completely shattered and sealed by Fuxi, it was still able to revive through careful planning, showing signs of gradually interfering with the present world.

Even the Great Lord of the Turbid World, who had a deep-seated hatred with Wei Yuan, had to join forces with Wei Yuan to kill 【Destiny】, which shows that this is a madman, a tyrant with fanatical ideals and unscrupulous means.

Reckless, undisguised, and possessing the most difficult-to-defend authority.

And power standing at the top of the world!

Such an existence, a fatal weakness. Wei Yuan suddenly felt that the letter in his hand had suddenly become heavy. It was like the information that the Lord of Guixu (Ruins) had exchanged for at the cost of his own life. He took a slight breath, his eyes fell, and he continued to read—

“【Destiny】 claims to control everything.”

“But He cannot let Himself win. This is a paradox.”

“He never stopped Huntian's transcendence. This is the second problem.”

“The second problem means that his realm is definitely above Huntian, and he once transcended.”

“And the first paradox means that 【Destiny】's authority has no limits, and the edge of the limit is where my weakness lies.”

“I looked at my own records, looking at the things you did when you had no control or feeling. When those things appeared here individually, I didn't have much impression. But when all the decisions I made during these thousand years when I was interfered with and controlled by Destiny are arranged together, the hidden things are clearly displayed in front of me.”

“I found out—”

“These things, whether it's a decision made when I was greedy or a decision made when I was madly angry, all have one thing in common, that is, these thoughts have flashed through my mind, things I have considered, one of countless thoughts that have flown by."

“It’s just that my reason restrained me, and I knew those behaviors were wrong myself.”

“So I didn’t intend to implement them.”

“One possibility is a coincidence.”

“But when everything that has happened during these thousand years conforms to this pattern, it is no longer a coincidence, but the limit of Destiny, my weakness, that is, even the so-called 【Destiny】, as long as I have not set foot on transcendence, I can only manipulate, but cannot ‘create out of thin air‘!”

“And manipulation requires a ‘manipulated object’.”

“In other words, at least it should be something that the ‘manipulated person’ has ever thought about in their mind.”

The Western Emperor could hardly control the violent emotional fluctuations in his heart. The fingers holding the letter used force in an instant. These short words almost instantly revealed...the characteristics of the 【Destiny】's authority. Wrong, everyone guessed wrong!

Just like the Yuan Shi Tianzun is powerful in swordsmanship rather than cause and effect.

The authority of 【Destiny】 is definitely not what everyone had previously expected!

The Western Emperor almost immediately turned over the page and looked at the content above. Then his pupils suddenly shrank. After a long time, he let out a long breath. The content of that page became scratchy again, and the writing was rational and cold, as if you could see the state of the writer at that time through those words.

Cold and rational, like doing research.

“Based on my own attempts, the conclusion is as follows.”

“【Destiny】 dismantled—”

“Among them, Tianji (Heavenly Secrets) is used to peep into the future.”

“Causality, change the result with the cause, and use this to influence the future.”

“Destiny, manipulates the thoughts of all living beings, even fleeting thoughts, and uses this to influence the trajectory of all living beings, and magnifies everything in the Hetu Luoshu world to be in control, to 【piece together】 the destiny it anchors.”

“Among them, Tianji is the first authority used to observe, cause and effect is the manipulation of inanimate objects and small-scale interference, and destiny itself is the control of thoughts. It controls countless living beings, allowing countless living beings to naturally do certain things, and uses these countless behaviors to piece together destiny.”

“In other words, the current 【Destiny】 should be called 【Manipulation】.”

“I deliberately call myself Destiny.”

“Starting from the name, it is a trap.”

“Because the way it manifests is too similar, everyone has been blinded before.”

“The Myriad Tomes of the Heavens will always lead to various disasters. It is not that there is a problem with the future. The core of its power is not to predict the future, but to control the trajectory of all living beings, and then to realize the future it speaks of, regardless of how distorted the method of realizing that future is!”

“By extension, perhaps there has never been a great calamity, but Destiny anchored the great calamity and then pieced together the great calamity; this is consistent with Destiny's previous behavior, leading to the great calamity and submerging all the living beings in the world, so all living beings are equal.”

“Where there is life, there is death; where there is dirt, there is purity; where there is increase, there is decrease.”

“If there is a great thief, there will be no saint.”

“Therefore, 【Saints will not die, and thieves will not stop】.”

Yang Lan exhaled, his expression becoming solemn. If the things recorded in the letter in front of him were disclosed, it would probably directly cause an uproar, because these things were too terrifying. 【Destiny】 is not 【Destiny】 at all, but 【Manipulation】.

Only when the three are combined can it display the authority that seems like 【Destiny】.

The Myriad Tomes of the Heavens cannot predict the future at all.

But once Destiny fixes the ending, anyone who looks at the Myriad Tomes of the Heavens will see a 【Great Calamity】.

And the more people who observe the Myriad Tomes of the Heavens, the more people enter Destiny's field of vision, which will lead to Destiny being able to control more and more living beings, and will increasingly guide everyone towards the direction of the Great Calamity.

Even if it weren't for Huntian's intervention.

There will also be another existence to obtain the power of cause and effect. Then, 【Destiny】 will probably be revived directly in the body of the Lord of Causality, and then re-plunder the Heavenly Secrets from Wei Yuan, who was seriously injured by the Great Lord of the Turbid World, and return to this world in a more powerful posture. It is like a huge network, with invisible lines falling down from Destiny's fingers, and then shrouding the entire world. Everyone's battles and killings are in it. This huge layout seems to have started from the encirclement and suppression in the ancient years, and finally continued to spread.

Zhu Si Yin's son Gu, the Great Qin's Xu Fu, Wei Yuan's suffering, the Peach Blossom Spring, the Great Tang's Kunlun calamity, the Lord of Guixu being corrupted, the Lord of Causality's revival, the Western Emperor's contact with the Myriad Tomes of the Heavens being anchored during the Great Tang Dynasty, and at this moment, Destiny is about to advance to the final step.

Entangling the 【Lord of Causality】 and trying to occupy his body, and then possessing both cause and effect and destiny at the same time.

Even, is Gonggong's anger against Buzhou Mountain also related to Destiny?

Gonggong's anger against Buzhou Mountain would lead to the ultimate sleep of Buzhou Mountain and the fall of Nuwa, and Nuwa's fall would lead to Wei Yuan, the only one who realized the problem with the Myriad Tomes of the Heavens, going mad and killing his way into the Turbid World. The great battle with the Great Lord of the Turbid World meant that even if Wei Yuan couldn't survive, he would be seriously injured and almost sealed.

Then Wei Yuan dismantled the seals of the Myriad Tomes of the Heavens one after another.

Destiny's anchor point returned and gradually revived.

Everything experienced from the beginning to the present finally fit together seamlessly, and 【Destiny】, which seemed to have never been so strong, also showed its true face beneath its jokes and curses.

The Western Emperor slowly exhaled, then slowly gathered his mind, and continued to look at the next page of the letter. This was already the final part of the entire letter. Obviously, this part of the text was written in the past, or even records from hundreds of years ago.

“This is just my guess, but if my guess is confirmed, then those who are unintentional and mindless can directly ignore Destiny's manipulation, and even turn around and use Destiny, and can use this to guess what Destiny really wants to do.”

“Next, I will try to control my own thoughts.”

“I will deceive myself, and I will imagine some false ideas, and those thoughts may become the ‘lines that Destiny uses to manipulate me’, but

It will also be a proof of Destiny's loopholes. If this is indeed the case, then the logic of ‘Destiny’ can be discovered.”

“First—I will construct the idea that Guixu is ruined and the treasures are scattered.”

“Second—I will deeply hate the Taoist who killed me back then, and become impatient and rash, wanting to kill him at all costs, including partially joining forces with the Turbid World.”

“Third—I will break through and advance, based on 【Hetu Luoshu World, Nowhere Is Not】, rather than 【Hetu Luoshu World, All Living Beings Are Destroyed】.”

“Fourth—I will give up all dignity and self.”

“Fifth—I will expose the signs of 【Great Calamity】 in order to buy time for me to set foot on Daoguo (the Fruit of the Dao).”

“If more than two of the five points match when I die, then it means that all my predictions are correct. 【Destiny】 is not 【Destiny】, but 【Manipulation】. Just cut off the thoughts in your heart, and you can break the initial erosion.”

“Give it to the wise, enough to use this as bait to lure and kill Destiny!”

“But Wei Yuan needs to be vigilant.”

“The holder of Tianji and the holder of cause and effect, these two Daoguo may become the core of Destiny's revival.” Yang Lan slowly exhaled, his expression changing.

Finally, he saw the end of the letter. The text was light and restrained. He seemed to see the Lord of Guixu calmly writing, with a rational and stern expression: "And my five assumptions are also deceiving Destiny. I am betting that the destiny I want to weave will definitely use these five points."

“If the first point succeeds, then the foundation and treasures of the Guixu Hetu Luoshu world can be left behind.”

“In any case, it is the foundation of my Guixu, and it is impossible to hand it over to mere Destiny. This is the first gift I left behind.”

“If the second point succeeds, the existence of Destiny will inevitably be noticed by the Great Lord of the Turbid World. This is a sleeping tiger. I know the danger of Destiny, which will make Him face the siege of masters from both the Clear and Turbid Worlds at the same time.”

“If the third point can succeed, then the Daoguo of advancement on the Fuxi route can be retained.”

“Fuxi is just 【Seven Calamities and Seven Viciousnesses of Heaven】. If you set foot on 【Hetu Luoshu World, All Living Beings Are Destroyed】, then you can step into the first level of Daoguo.”

“My Great Dao will definitely not fall behind others, even if I die, but the Great Dao will not be destroyed.”

“Hmph, devouring all living beings to advance is ridiculous. The method of Guixu, Hetu Luoshu.”

“My path should have brought calamity to the Hetu Luoshu world! Achieving Daoguo with the despair of all living beings, what is the point of refining those few Guixu wanderers?! If even this point is hidden from Destiny, then it is just a ridiculous thing, not to be feared. Does it really mean that you plan to refine the foundation of others into Daoguo.”

“The premise for the success of the fourth point is the success of the second point.”

“And the last point, attracting attention with the clues of the Great Calamity in advance, this matter will definitely succeed—”

“Because the ideas I provide to Destiny myself have no choice. This is my limitation.”

“If you notice the Great Calamity in advance, you should be able to solve this calamity.”

“My killing is naturally light and unparalleled, self-righteous and arrogant, disdainful of the so-called righteous path. The fall of Kunlun Fuxi is related to me, the Seven Heavenly Maidens are all folded in my hands, Gengchen was broken by me, and Lu Wu is also sleeping. And I, Guixu, commanded the heavens and also caused countless worlds to be destroyed. Naturally, there are piles of white bones under my feet, and countless wronged souls.”

“So what?! The world is inherently a jungle. If you don't kill, you won't succeed!”

“I won against Destiny, but I don't want to die in his hands. The layout is like this, but it is also to die in his hands. There is no need to worry about it. When my true spirit was sleeping back then, Guixu also fell into the hands of Daoyi. I almost died in Guixu, so I had to transform into a human being and walk in the world. I almost starved to death when I met Master.”

“He gave me a bowl of porridge and saved my life.”

“People of my generation must settle debts and grudges clearly.”

“Dying in his hands is to repay his kindness, and from then on, we will not owe each other.”

“But he had better kill me completely…”

“Otherwise, when I return, I will definitely counterattack!”

“Also—”

The text paused, and then changed to a different stroke, a very, very familiar handwriting to Yang Lan. The tone seemed to become gentle, as if an old friend was smiling and talking to him for the last time. The unruly teenager

The appearance of the year appeared before his eyes.

“Senior brother, senior brother, the porridge back then was delicious.”

“For more than two thousand years, in the Hetu Luoshu world, there is no better porridge.”

“Also, congratulations on your marriage. The news of the Great Calamity is a wedding gift.”

“—Your brother, Zi Guimin.”

Zi Gui (returning home) should return, but there is no return.

When he remembered that he was the Overlord of Guixu, the unruly teenager died.

“Then…”

The last two words seemed to be answering what the Western Emperor said when he pierced Zi Gui's head with his sword.

“Goodbye.”

ps: Today's first update… Seven thousand words. Adjusting the work and rest schedule is still useful.

The setting for the Lord of Guixu in the early days of his true spirit was one of the eight thousand disciples, but none of the eight thousand disciples had names left behind. Zi Gui is the name I set myself.
