Gazing at the mural of gods and demons on the mountain wall, people whispered among themselves, their expressions filled with shock and disbelief.
"The prophecy we’ve searched for tens of thousands of years, it turns out to be the Celestial Court’s Yang Jian."
"How can you be so sure it’s Yang Jian? What if it’s soone else?"
"Look at the person’s brow; doesn’t it have the Celestial Eye? Who else but Yang Jian has the Celestial Eye? Yang Jian is the one destined to fight against fate."
"But where did Yang Jian go? Nearly everyone from the Profound Dust Realm has been resurrected, yet we have not seen many from the Celestial Court, nor the Underworld. These two major powers seem to have vanished into thin air."
"I was among the first to be resurrected and learned a lot. Now, on Blue Star, the strongest figure is soone nad Xiao Yao the Celestial Venerable. Then I also saw Sun Wukong; he’s not dead. As for the others, I haven’t really seen any."
So began to wonder why, after the resurrection, the two major powers, the Celestial Court and the Underworld, had disappeared. Logically, these top forces should have resurrected earlier than the rest. Why haven’t we seen them?
"Silence!" At this mont, an elder spoke in a deep voice, and the scene instantly went quiet.
He raised his head to look at the mural carefully and suddenly his eyes widened with disbelief.
"Look, isn’t there another being among the gods and demons with a Celestial Eye standing in the sky?" The elder spoke with surprise.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and quickly looked at the mural, swiftly noticing sothing unusual.
Among those gods and demons, there indeed was one with a Celestial Eye, and in his hand, he held a weapon that looked extrely similar to a trident-like spear.
"Could it be, the one defying destiny against gods and demons is not Yang Jian, but the one in the sky?"
"No way, it should be Yang Jian, and there also happens to be soone with a Celestial Eye in the sky!"
There are people born with divine eyes both in heaven and on earth. What is happening? The one in the sky looks more like Yang Jian.
But isn’t Yang Jian a mber of the Celestial Court?
Why would he oppose them? Is the prophecy true or false?
"Look closely, the one on the ground, holding what looks like a long spear, doesn’t resemble Yang Jian’s weapon at all. The one in the sky resembles Yang Jian more. Could it be that Yang Jian has joined that world?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, their hearts clenched.
Yang Jian, as a great general of the Celestial Court, possessed formidable combat power, second only to Sun Wukong. If he joined that world, what chance of victory would remain?
"Do not panic. If the prophecy is true, then this person will surely win, unless the course of destiny is altered by soone."
As these words fell, the ground suddenly began to quake violently, causing the cave to tremble frantically as if it were going to collapse.
The crowd was struck with terror, at a loss for what to do.
"Look quickly, the mural has changed, it’s changing!" Soone suddenly shouted, and everyone imdiately turned their gaze to the mural, drawing in a sharp breath.
They saw that the mural was indeed slowly changing. The gods and demons in the sky remained unchanged, but the figure on the ground had transford; he was no longer alone. Behind him stood an army of thousands, among which a particular figure was exceptionally prominent.
Holding a long staff and wearing a Phoenix Crown, he hovered mid-air, looking down upon the masses with an invincible presence, greatly resembling Sun Wukong!
And the one who initially stood at the forefront seed to possess an aura of invincibility, leading thousands of armies with the rage to kill through the Ten Thousand Realms, exuding a pride that could tower over the world!
Yet, the elder discerned a sense of loneliness from this figure, as if bearing an overwhelming burden with no one to aid him, having to walk the path alone without any power or backing, solitary in his journey.
This person, he couldn’t identify, but being able to arrive at the forefront of everyone attested to his strength.
"When that day cos, we will naturally know. Let’s go." The elder spoke in a calm tone, turning to leave.
The prophecy has changed; for now, they wait for the prophecy to unfold.
...
A certain mountain range.
Chen Lan arrived at this place under the guidance of the Lantian Sword.
"Master, this was once the location of the Eye of Destiny. Now, it’s unknown where it is. See if you can sense anything."
The voice of the Lantian Sword resonated in his mind. Chen Lan nodded and released his Divine Sense to perceive.
Yet after a long while, nothing was sensed, so he decided to use the Celestial Eye to locate the Eye of Destiny.
Instantly, the Celestial Eye between his brows burst open, casting Divine Light over the land, scanning every inch of the terrain.
Suddenly, he felt as if sothing were watching him, a strange sensation as if it were sothing that belonged to him.
This feeling delighted him, it must indeed be the Eye of Destiny.
He started following the sensation, slowly pinpointing it, eventually finding it sealed within a certain mountain!
Boom!
Without hesitation, Chen Lan punched out, causing the mountain to explode, revealing a hollow inside, and at the center of the hollow, lay a pair of petrified eyes.
Chen Lan approached and examined them closely: "Is this the Eye of Destiny?"
The Lantian Sword flew out from within him, quivering excitedly: "Yes, this is the master’s Eye of Destiny, very well sealed. Master only needs to place your hand on it to absorb it, allowing it to return to your body and unleash its power once more."
Chen Lan nodded, placing his hand on it. Instantly, his body felt a tingling sensation, as if electrified, while threads of golden light erged from the petrified Eye of Destiny, flowing into Chen Lan, gradually moving towards his eyes.
In the pupils of his eyes, golden light swirled like dragons, as Chen Lan felt a hot, piercing pain, wanting to reach out and rub them, yet he restrained himself.
After about ten minutes, the pain in his eyes slowly diminished, replaced by a feeling of refreshing comfort.
In an instant, he comprehended how to use the Eye of Destiny, along with many past mories. It was a Divine Technique slightly weaker than the Celestial Eye, but not by much, only a little, able to see a person’s destiny trajectory or the ultimate outco of an event.
The more one wants to see, the more one has to pay. Presumably, Ye Lan once used the Eye of Destiny to see all of his future’s trajectory, paying with the depletion of his own cultivation.
However, the Eye of Destiny’s strongest point was that it could modify destiny. Ye Lan used all his cultivation to alter one trajectory, which was that he would play "Cultivation Life" and play it to the end.
Having absorbed all the mories, Chen Lan fully understood, realizing what his past plan was ant to achieve.
"Though this sounds like self-praise, I must admit, my past self truly was a genius." Chen Lan murmured to himself.
Though it carried the aning of a self-aggrandizing boast, only after absorbing the mories did he realize how brilliant his past self had been!
Everything was under his control, stepping into the ga personally, saving others, and himself!
