Xia Tianqiong then realized that the fate of ordinary humans could be manipulated.
For example, the Fenggui Chessboard was originally the most important treasure of the Liu family, and it shouldn't be carried around casually.
But one day, Liu Zhongjun suddenly wanted to study it.
Normally, the head of the Liu family would not agree, but for some reason that day, he agreed without thinking.
Liu Zhongjun was usually a spoiled brat who rarely did anything productive, and he wouldn't normally be needed for tasks like procuring supplies in various places. However, because a family member had an emergency, he was asked to fill in.
Then, by sheer coincidence, he ran into Jiang Yu and suddenly harbored malicious intentions, wanting to rob the supplies in the warehouse.
And so, through a series of inexplicable coincidences, his path came into contact with Xia Tianqiong.
He was eventually killed, and the Fenggui Chessboard fell into Xia Tianqiong's hands.
And all of this was arranged.
However, Old Master Huo said it wasn't his arrangement; he didn't have that power. Instead, he was a being at a higher level than the God of Deception, manipulating fate by influencing others' thoughts or subconscious.
This kind of manipulation is elusive and leaves no trace, but it also involves a probability issue. It may not achieve the desired effect 100% of the time, but can only determine a general direction.
Besides the sealed chessboard, there are other important opportunities that were also arranged in advance, such as the ghost bride.
Xia Tianqiong had no experience driving on the highway at night, but for some reason that day, she suddenly wanted to travel under the cover of darkness.
And so he encountered the ghost bride.
Old Huo and the others knew that the forces associated with the Ghost Bride wanted to cooperate with Jun Shisan, believing that she would take care of Jun Shisan's reincarnation.
So the purpose of arranging for them to meet was to find a bodyguard for Xia Tianqiong.
As they had predicted, the ghost bride took good care of Xia Tianqiong.
However, the one thing that was unexpected was that the ghost bride developed genuine feelings for Xia Tianqiong!
And in the end, she sacrificed herself to help Xia Tianqiong escape the fate of being devoured by Jun Shisan.
Old Master Huo said that this is a case of man proposes, God disposes; even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw!
Hearing this, Xia Tianqiong suddenly felt a little down.
I feel like a puppet on a string, with everything being manipulated by others, and this feeling is very unpleasant.
But thinking about it carefully, I can understand!
If I hadn't been manipulated by fate, how could an ordinary human being like myself have gotten to where I am today?
What makes him possess the strength of a half-step god of evil?
Why should the ghost bride develop genuine feelings for him?
Although being assigned this task felt unpleasant, it also gave him a chance to change his fate.
As long as we continue to improve our strength and break through constraints, one day we will be able to completely control our own destiny, and even the destiny of others.
Xia Tianqiong was good at self-comfort, and thinking about it this way made her feel much better.
Then came the most important question: "Old Huo, you came to see me in person and told me so much, you must have some purpose, right?"
Old Huo watched intently, his eyes filled with keen interest.
"Your origins are very ordinary. We've calculated your past lives, and none of them were particularly outstanding. However, after your rebirth, although some opportunities were arranged by us, most of the opportunities were earned through your own efforts."
We've been watching you closely, and your performance has truly amazed us. Not only are you talented, but you're also a master strategist, adept at manipulating people's hearts, and most importantly, you've temporarily escaped the control of fate.
We are very interested in this and want to continue observing to see if you can ultimately escape the fate of being devoured by Jun Shisan.
Xia Tianqiong's eyes lit up, and she asked, "So, you won't interfere in my affairs with Jun Shisan?"
Old Huo shook his head and smiled inexplicably, "Whether to intervene or not depends on the outcome."
What do you mean by that?
"We paid a heavy price to train Jun Shisan into the strongest Ghost God, and we will not give up because of you."
Xia Tianqiong immediately frowned, and was about to ask another question when Old Huo spoke up again.
"To us, Jun Shisan is not a specific individual. He can be Jun Shisan, and you can be Jun Shisan."
Either he devours you and becomes a demon god, or you devour him and become the next Jun Shisan. If you want to kill him or get rid of him forever, we will not allow it.
Simply put, you two must merge into one, and we don't care who survives in the end.
"Of course, Jun Shisan is far superior to you. I came to you this time to offer some assistance, so that you can at least start on a level playing field."
