Chapter 465 Xia Lin's Path to Destiny Change

The Shadow Pillar Twins provide the position of Shadow Pillar, but do not provide the means to achieve it.

To put it bluntly, the significance of the Shadow Pillar's twin talents is to provide Xia Lin with an exclusive pillar position when all the pillar positions are full.

But if Xia Lin wants to achieve the position of a pillar, he has to find the method and path on his own.

"So, how do we go about this journey?"

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds with shining blue stars, Xia Lin asked himself.

A series of thoughts arose and were rejected.

"Prove the truth with strength? Practice in secret, and use life-and-death battles to push your attributes to the sky?"

"It seems feasible, but if I take this path, I'm destined not to be a pioneer but a follower."

The reason is simple - the core six skills of the Old Ones are life-and-death battles!

His life-and-death battle system must be more complete than Xia Lin's, and his basic attributes must be higher than Xia Lin's. This means that if they start to fight at the same time, Xia Lin will most likely not be able to catch up, and can only watch the old master become the pillar first, and then he will achieve the shadow pillar position.

Furthermore, judging from the Old Master's mad pursuit of the ultimate breakthrough matrix, it would be difficult for him to accomplish the feat of proving his truth through force and achieving the Pillar's position simply by relying on a life-and-death battle.

"In short, it can be used as an alternative idea, but that's all."

Apart from that, the two known routes and the matrix in the Jhin area were all occupied, leaving no room for Xia Lin.

Xia Lin has no foundation to take the path of real rule... This path is exclusive to the military leader and obviously has nothing to do with the shadow pillar.

After thinking hard for a long time, an idea suddenly came to Xia Lin's mind.

He opened his personal attribute panel and looked at his attribute list.

Then Xia Lin smiled.

"I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and suddenly I turned around..."

"What a sudden look back!"

Xia Lin suddenly realized that the twelve-level system he had built at the cost of tens of millions of six pillars had its own most suitable path to the six pillars!

Its name is: Change of Destiny!

…

If I were to say who inspired this idea... I have to thank Wang Yanlin, the old bachelor.

The path of the six pillars of this Lord of Hosts is to expand the existing territory, enhance his own strength, and then make use of his father's legacy to achieve the six pillars.

——The key is not to expand territory and enhance strength, but to retain the six pillars.

This road was designed by the King of Kings himself for Lao Wu. All the difficulties in it have been overcome, and now it can be simply described in one sentence.

But Xia Lin doesn’t have that kind of father…he has to rely on himself for everything.

However, with Wang Yanlin as a reference, Xia Lin was also inspired to some extent.

"If you can reach the Six Pillars through real rule, then why can't I reach the Six Pillars through the transformation of destiny?"

"These two roads have something in common!"

Reality controls and masters the real universe.

The mutation of destiny is to reverse everything and change it to a point that is beneficial to oneself.

To put it bluntly, this is a form of interference, change, and utilization of the main universe environment.

If reality control works, there is no reason why destiny change cannot work!

After thinking for a moment, Xia Lin clapped his hands.

"It's always worth a try."

Anyway, Xia Lin doesn't need to worry about the alternative plan: proving the truth through force. He has plenty of time to try the path of destiny mutation.

“And I just have to do this…”

Xia Lin slowly opened his hands, and the spiritual power in his hands condensed into substance, then turned into ashes and dispersed in the strong wind of the plateau, and scattered into the distance with the wind.

[Destiny Mutation (Sixth Pillar Talent): A talent exclusive to the Shadow Pillar class! All your energies and skills naturally possess the power of mutation! This power can mutate everything! Following your will, it can cause inevitable deterioration mutations to hostile targets, while bringing inevitable optimization mutations to yourself and friendly targets!

Note: The direction of mutation is generally still uncontrollable... but this talent can guarantee that you will definitely gain a certain advantage from the mutation! With this talent, destiny is definitely in your hands!

Mental power is the most basic energy for professionals.

By spreading his mental power, Xia Lin spread the mutated power throughout the entire Flash Blue Star, and continued to spread outward with it as the center.

At this moment, Xia Lin emptied his mind and made no attempt to control the direction of the mutation. He simply left it all to fate...

Anyway, destiny is in my hands!

Mutations began to occur silently.

As for Xia Lin, he only needs to continue to consume his mental energy and wait for the flowers to bloom.

…

The next day, Wang Lie arrived at the Hulan Plateau.

I found that the entire Hulun Plateau has changed its appearance.

The highest point of the plateau was deliberately flattened, turning it into a large open space.

On the open ground, the treasure called Heavenly Palace turned into a thousand meters high, towering majestically.

The sudden change left Wang Lie confused until the gate of the Heavenly Palace opened and Xia Lin and Scarlett walked out together and came to Wang Lie.

"From today on, this will be my place of retreat and cultivation."

The so-called place for retreat and meditation is a private territory where no one can disturb you. Xia Lin refuses any other visitors.

"Of course, this does not include you, Nina, Fang Xiang, Gu Hua, and other old friends... In fact, I still need you to help me communicate with the outside world and bring me first-hand intelligence in a timely manner."

Since Xia Lin did not control the focus and direction of the mutation, he had no idea what effect the destiny mutation would have and what changes it would bring.

Retreat is retreat, but it is still necessary to arrange some spies outside.

"So you came this time..."

When Xia Lin asked this, Wang Lie changed the subject and explained his purpose.

"There's a problem in the Ember District."

As Wang Lie continued his story, Xia Lin soon understood.

The Ember Zone system is shut down.

…

Since yesterday, that is, after Xia Lin and Wang Yanlin left the Cinders system, the Cinders travelers on the Flashing Blue Star discovered that no new Cinders entrances were opened, and the old Cinders entrances also refused entry to Cinders travelers.

No hints, no explanations, no big commotion.

The situation in the Ashes area appears dull, yet simple and intuitive.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for most Ashes Walkers, as too many Ashes Walkers don't want to live in uncertainty.

But for a Cinders walker like Wang Lie who has considerable strength, the lack of the assistance of the Cinders system will inevitably have a certain impact on the speed of improving his strength.

"According to rumors within the Tri-Phase Gang, other planets in the Cinders have also encountered similar situations."

"So I wanted to come over and ask... Boss, do you have any firsthand information?"

Wang Lie asked with a smile, rubbing his hands.

Xia Lin thought about it and nodded, "There is definitely firsthand intelligence, but it's complicated to explain."

"Generally speaking, from today onwards, there will probably no longer be any such thing as the Ashes Zone."

The closure of the Jhin zone is not due to the mutation of destiny, but is undoubtedly the result of the game between the pseudo six pillars within the Jhin zone.

——The six major Ash Zone matrices all have owners, and Faceless Lu Zhao and others are still using the power of the Ash Zone to suppress and seal the old masters.

In this situation, it is reasonable for them to work together to shut down the Cinder Zone system and reduce variables.

Wang Lie sighed deeply: "This is troublesome..."

Xia Lin was just about to say that he didn't want to be a Cinder Walker, since he could go through the normal promotion process.

However, when the words came to his lips, the Heavenly Palace behind him suddenly made a buzzing sound.

Xia Lin and the others all turned their heads to look at the Heavenly Palace, and saw that it was glowing with infinite light. The light illuminated the nine heavens, instantly covering the entire shining blue star, and was still expanding outward.

At this moment, not to mention Wang Lie, even Xia Lin and Scarlett looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with Tiangong.

It was not until Scarlett examined it in detail that she said to Xia Lin with a look of surprise.

"This time it's all your fault..."

"The spirit of the Heavenly Palace has been affected by the change in destiny and has mutated."

Xia Lin was stunned at first, then relieved.

The change of destiny affects all aspects, and Tiangong, as its own magic weapon, is the one that is most affected.

It is reasonable for mutations to occur at this moment.

"So what's the direction of the mutation?"

Xia Lin had just asked this question when Wang Lie behind him suddenly shuddered and looked at Xia Lin with horror.

"Brother! Your weapon spirit has become a spirit! It's sending me a message, saying congratulations on becoming the Chosen One! I'm about to join the Chosen Game. I'm so fucking..."

Before he could finish his words, a white light suddenly appeared, sweeping Wang Lie into the Heavenly Palace and disappearing without a trace.

Xia Lin and Scarlett looked at each other, a series of questions rising in their minds at the same time???

What is the meaning of your heavenly palace?

…

Ten minutes later, when Wang Lie appeared again, Xia Lin and Scarlett were still waiting there.

Wang Lie looked terrified, but Xia Lin and Scarlett were still laughing.

After Wang Lie calmed down, Xia Lin spoke up, "How is it? How does my Chosen Game compare to the Ashen Zone dungeon?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Lie knew what was going on.

——The master of the Cinder Zone system is Liuzhu, but the master of this Chosen System is his eldest brother.

Isn’t this developed?!

Wang Lie suppressed his distracting thoughts and made a serious assessment.

"Lower difficulty, higher rewards... well, other than that, there doesn't seem to be any other difference."

Lower difficulty and higher rewards... This is the biggest benefit for the former Amber Walkers, now the Chosen Ones.

In short, since Wang Lie felt that the loss of the Cinder Zone system would affect the speed of his strength improvement, then becoming Xia Lin's chosen one was a mutual decision.

“The benefits go beyond that.”

Xia Lin smiled and revealed the secret he had just discovered about the Chosen One: "This Chosen System, derived from the Heavenly Palace, has no upper limit on levels, and contains twelve levels of opportunity. Whether you can obtain one depends entirely on your own luck."

Wang Lie's eyes lit up: "Level 12 opportunity?"

Xia Lin shrugged: "Yes."

The mutated Tiangong can borrow Xia Lin's power to complete the distribution of rewards and level upgrades for the chosen ones.

As long as Xia Lin nods, you can have as many level twelve opportunities as you want in the Chosen System!

After giving a few more instructions, Wang Lie left with a happy look on his face.

As a veteran walker in the Ashes, Wang Lie had no resistance to the change of identity - working for anyone is not working, right?

Moreover, this Chosen System is very similar to the previous Amber System, and the identity conversion is seamless.

And the upper limit of the Chosen System is much higher than that of the Ashes System.

So, why shouldn't he be excited?

Only after Wang Lie walked away did Xia Lin step into the Heavenly Palace and call out to the spirit of the Heavenly Palace.

As their minds communicated, Xia Lin nodded in satisfaction.

"It's a pleasant surprise."

What Wang Lie didn’t know was what significance the benign mutations produced in Tiangong had for Xia Lin.

…

The old Ash Zone system was the Gu Cauldron on the upper three pillars, used for refining Gu.

Today's Chosen System can serve as Xia Lin's energy transmission node, helping Xia Lin spread his mental power outward, expand the scope of influence of the destiny mutation, and enhance the impact of the destiny mutation.

Closing his eyes and sensing, Xia Lin could clearly perceive the only chosen one: Wang Lie.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, part of Xia Lin's mental power completed the long-distance transmission with the help of the Chosen System, with Wang Lie as the node, spreading in all directions.

At the same time, Xia Lin also gained Wang Lie's senses in some unknown way - but Wang Lie knew nothing about all this.

Experiment, operation.

After a while, Xia Lin completely understood how to play this Chosen System.

“Very convenient and very efficient.”

"Not only will it allow me to know the world from the comfort of my seat in the Heavenly Palace, it will also significantly accelerate the progress of my destiny's transformation."

It is not known whether the path of destiny change is the path to achieving the Six Pillars.

But increased efficiency is ultimately a good thing.

If so, Xia Lin can achieve the Six Pillars at a faster speed.

No, it can also reduce Xia Lin’s time cost of trial and error.

"I need more Chosen Ones."

Xia Lin's order was conveyed, and the Heavenly Palace trembled slightly.

The newly born spirit of the weapon gave a vague response.

"I will obey your will."

…

The Chosen System began to spread with the Flashing Blue Star as its center.

However, looking at the scale of the universe, the Blue Star is too small, so the Chosen System cannot cause any waves for the time being.

Even a major event like the closure of the Ashes system gradually died down after several months of noise.

Time is the most amazing magic.

So the days went on as usual and life continued.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The land of the King of Kings has attracted the attention of the entire universe.

Wang Yanlin, the fifth son of the Wang family, annexed the territories of his seventh and eighth brothers one after another, and his power became unstoppable.

Taking advantage of the influence of the past incident of taking over the rooftop, he began to encroach on the territories of other brothers.

The sixth son of the Wang family was the first to surrender without any resistance.

The second and fourth sons of the Wang family, as well as the eldest and third sons of the Wang family, formally formed an alliance to fight against the dominant Wang Yanlin.

Thus, a Three Kingdoms drama began to unfold.

Right now, the drama of the Three Kingdoms battle between brothers for the throne is still in the stage of literary battle.

But any discerning person could see that it was only a matter of time before the verbal fight turned into physical fight.

In response to this, the "King of Kings" and the Queen who sat in the Kingdom of God did not say anything, and watched this act of brothers killing each other, which caused confusion among outsiders.

In the same year, in a dark corner of the universe, a force called the Primordial Sect absorbed the followers of the evil god and rose quietly, with its movements being so small that it was unknown to outsiders.

Beneath the calm, an undercurrent gradually surges.

The name Xia Lin seemed to have been forgotten, and gradually fewer people mentioned it, and even fewer people knew where it was.

Time flies and five years have passed.

The territory of the King of Kings, the border between the three kingdoms of Lin, Shan and Hai, is a place called Tianji Star Region.

Today the army is assembled, flags are waving, and the emperor is coming on the wind.

Wang Yanlin personally led the army and fired the first shot in the fierce war.

It is known in history as the Battle of Tianji.
