Chapter 240: Chapter 236: Destiny’s Favor?
His entire body was covered in a layer of black snake scales. The fine, dense scales glead with a cold, hard luster under the light, as if forged from Divine Iron, making him look indestructible.
The inheritance vision he expected didn’t reappear. Instead, a stream of inherited knowledge from the Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent flooded his mind.
The perfection of his Bloodline also indirectly boosted his power. His three Talents—Twisted Light, Spirit Devouring, and Primordial Eye—were all enhanced.
With his Three-Eyed Primordial Snake Bloodline completely perfected, he was now essentially a true Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent. No, it would be more accurate to say that his true form *was* a Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent.
At the sa ti, Hu Qi could feel his Vitality growing much more abundant.
By his estimation, he could now live for tens of thousands of years, perhaps even longer.
This already far surpassed the natural lifespan of a Refining God Venerable.
Just then, Hu Qi’s expression shifted.
He sensed that as his Three-Eyed Primordial Snake Bloodline was perfected, so indescribable, inexplicable change was occurring within his body.
There was no ntion of this in the inherited mories of the Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent.
With this in mind, he couldn’t help but look at his panel.
His gaze fell on the Bloodline entry.
[Bloodline: Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent (Mutation 1%)]
...
[Modification Points: 30 (71%)]
’Mutation?’
A peculiar expression crossed Hu Qi’s face.
According to the Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent’s inheritance, there was no such thing as a mutation after the Bloodline fully awakened. A Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent could grow stronger simply by continuously devouring things. It didn’t need to cultivate at all to beco an Overlord Level creature in the Spirit Realm.
However, that process took an extrely long ti and required devouring enough energy to advance its Life Level.
This was one of Hu Qi’s backup plans.
If he couldn’t deduce the next step in his cultivation, he could still rely solely on his perfected Three-Eyed Primordial Snake Bloodline and Spirit Devouring Talent to grow stronger.
Of course, that was a last resort. If he could devise a Cultivation Technique to complent the enhancents from his Bloodline, his power would naturally be even greater.
Staring at the word "Mutation," Hu Qi thought for a mont and quickly understood what was happening.
Whether in his past life or his current one, his body was, by all rights, purely of the Human Race.
The only reason the Three-Eyed Primordial Snake Bloodline had appeared was because he had used the panel to deduce a special Inheritance Secret Martial Art: the Three-Eyed Primordial Snake Spirit Devouring Map.
Practicing this Secret Martial Art would, in itself, transform him into a Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent.
If things had continued along that path, there would have been no problem.
But the problem was...
After he had continuously integrated a large number of Inheritance Secret Martial Arts, the Three-Eyed Primordial Snake Spirit Devouring Map itself had changed.
This, in turn, caused his originally pure Three-Eyed Primordial Snake Bloodline to undergo a mutation.
’However, from the looks of it, this mutation doesn’t seem to have any downsides.’
’Even if there are negative effects, I can just use the panel’s modification function to correct them. There’s no need to worry too much.’
However, no modification Rune had appeared next to the Bloodline Mutation on the panel, which obviously ant his thirty Modification Points weren’t enough to enhance it.
Just as he was pondering this...
RUMBLE!
A deafening crack, like a bolt from the blue, suddenly echoed.
Every living creature on Earth Star heard the trendous sound!
’Hm? What’s this?!’
Hu Qi looked up, an indistinct swirl of black and white energy slowly rotating within his eyes.
His gaze seed to pierce through the roof, allowing him to see the changes unfolding in the heavens above.
He was using his Heart Inference Divine Techniques.
Although he hadn’t truly stepped into the Void Realm, his current strength was imasurably greater than that of the Refining God Realm.
While using Heart Inference, he could even observe the Power of Fortune of the entire world.
At this mont, the world’s Power of Fortune seed to churn and surge, forming hazy pillars of smoke that rushed in from all directions, attempting to attach themselves to his body.
However, as they drew near, a layer of power repelled them, preventing them from reaching him.
’Am I being blessed by fortune?’
Hu Qi couldn’t help but chuckle.
As his Realm and mind ascended, his understanding of the world and its Power of Fortune had also deepened.
Take Earth Star, for example. The Human Race should have been the favored children of this world.
And yet, for so unknown reason, an aberrant existence like Mother Earth had appeared, leading to the tragic destruction of the Human Race, which should have been the protagonists of this world.
That was why, during the era of the Second Noki Civilization, the world’s will intervened, allowing the Celestial Fate People to appear.
The world itself possessed no personal emotions. It was more like an amalgamation of the collective consciousness of all living beings.
It was like an AI, where everything it did was for the sake of the world’s developnt.
As arguably the strongest person on Earth Star now, Hu Qi had naturally gained the world’s recognition.
Granting him its Power of Fortune was tantamount to an investnt, in the hope that Hu Qi could stop Mother Earth from destroying the world.
The Power of Fortune could bring all sorts of benefits; one blessed by it could even, to so extent, make their thoughts reality.
But there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and the sa applied to the Power of Fortune.
If he were to accept this Power of Fortune, he would inevitably be bound to Earth Star.
It might even lead him into unnecessary conflicts with certain people or influence his own judgnt.
As if sensing Hu Qi’s reluctance, the Power of Fortune suddenly shifted, changing direction and surging straight toward the Red Mirror Saber that was leaning against a wall.
The Red Mirror Saber’s surface began to glow red, humming incessantly.
Originally, the Red Mirror Saber was just an ordinary Blood Refining Spiritual Soldier.
After being nourished by Hu Qi’s True Essence and Void Power, it had gained more and more Spirituality.
Now, sensing the approach of the Power of Fortune, it imdiately tried to resist.
Seeing this, a peculiar look crossed Hu Qi’s face, but after a mont’s thought, he didn’t intervene.
It was clear the will of this world had its sights on him; he had no choice but to accept this Power of Fortune today.
At Hu Qi’s silent command, the Red Mirror Saber ceased its resistance.
It transford into a vortex, frantically devouring the vast Power of Fortune.
The Power of Fortune was ford from the world’s very origin, making it an incredible boon for the Red Mirror Saber.
After a long mont, the blade let out a clear, pleasant hum.
It seed it couldn’t absorb any more.
The excess Power of Fortune in the surroundings imdiately dissipated, scattering in all directions.
Hu Qi paid no mind to the scattered Power of Fortune.
He reached out his hand.
The Red Mirror Saber transford into a streak of red light and landed in his grasp.
A single glance told him the surface of the Red Mirror Saber had changed slightly.
The blade was warm to the touch, with a faint, jade-like texture. Within the uneven body of the blade, which looked like it was composed of shattered mirror fragnts, several new red, vein-like threads had appeared.
’Has this beco a Treasure of Fortune?’
Hu Qi’s eyes glinted.
He could clearly feel the power it now contained. Thanks to being nourished by the Power of Fortune, the Red Mirror Saber had grown much stronger.
Not only that, but by holding this saber, he would also indirectly receive the blessings of fortune.
Since the Power of Fortune was now bound to the Red Mirror Saber, Hu Qi himself would not be influenced by it.
If the Red Mirror Saber were to fall into the hands of an ordinary person now, that person would beco a protagonist favored by the world’s will.
’The world’s will really went all in this ti...’
...
「At the sa ti.」
The mont the world trembled, deep within the Inner Earth World, in the Valley of the Earth Abyss...
Deep within the Gorge, beneath the churning lava, an imnse shadow that seed to absorb all light stirred.
A gaze shot forth, piercing through an endless distance and countless layers of rock.
The gaze seed to have spotted sothing delicious, and it was filled with greed. Then, as if having thought of sothing, it slowly withdrew.
Daoist Mountain, Xuanqing Pass.
Within the space inside the Divine Statue, Xuanqing’s figure was seated upright.
Wisps of the Power of Faith flowed into his body from all directions.
Suddenly, as if sensing sothing, he snapped his head up and stared in a certain direction.
After a long mont, his thoughts were grim.
’How strange. For the world’s will to be this active is completely unprecedented. And to expend such a vast amount of its Power of Fortune... even for this world, that must be a colossal burden.’
’This ti, I fear even stronger, and perhaps more nurous, Celestial Fate People will erge in response.’
’Is the world’s will planning to stake everything on a single gamble?’
’If this fails, I fear there will be no more chances.’
’But what could have possibly driven It to make such a desperate decision?’
