Chapter 672
"Have you forgotten my true path?"
The God of Fate's pupils contracted. Yes, this ruler of the Nine Heavens did not cultivate the path of benevolence and salvation; He was in charge of slaughter.
However, in the past He slaughtered evil spirits, demons, filth, and... countless gods.
The Lord of Fate is considered the oldest deity in the world, so he knows secrets that none of the gods of this era know.
The world tens of thousands of years ago was not as orderly and rule-bound as it is now, where gods and all living beings are equal. Instead, it was a world of hierarchy, seniority, and birth, with families, sects, and distinctions of wealth and poverty. Like many mortal realms, it was an arena of fame and fortune, where hidden beneath the glamour was nothing but infighting, injustice, and filth.
Just as the Great World was becoming increasingly corrupt, Qin Yue suddenly appeared. None of the gods knew where he came from, and no one could withstand his slaughter.
The entire Nine Heavens was wiped out by Him in the blink of an eye. The gods who once looked down upon the mortals were either annihilated or their divine status was shattered and they fell to the mortal world, with none surviving.
The world we live in today can be said to be a new world created by His own hands, and from this, new rules of heaven and earth were born.
All the gods thought that even the Heavenly Venerable of the Nine Heavens was bound by the rules of heaven and earth and could not do whatever he wanted. However, who knew that it was actually He who willingly accepted the constraints?
If one day He no longer wishes...
The more the God of Fate thought about it, the more terrified he became.
For many years, Qin Yue's impartiality, integrity, and strict governance almost led him to believe that He had laid down His sword and was a reasonable, benevolent, and wise ruler.
He should know the true nature of this terrifying supreme being better than anyone else, so why would he hold such a naive idea?
The once vigorous and energetic Lord of Fate now appeared as a truly old man, hunched over and aged.
He resignedly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, pleading, "Your Majesty, please do not harm the innocent. I am willing to confess everything."
Seeing this, Wen Xin breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
When Qin Yue's oppressive aura enveloped the entire Temple of Fate, threatening to slaughter all living beings, she was actually more nervous than the Lord of Fate.
She did want revenge, that's true, but she absolutely didn't want to involve innocent people anymore.
Although she knew very well that no matter what Qin Yue thought, He would not go on a killing spree in front of her, as He was only trying to force the God of Fate to submit.
Of course, Wen Xin would never be so heartless or stupid as to accuse Him of indiscriminate killing.
Moreover, Qin Yue had repeatedly given the God of Fate a chance, but unfortunately even the most selfless god has moments when selfishness takes hold.
But this is common sense. The God of Fate is like this, she is like this, and even Qin Yue, the Nine Heavens Venerable, is the same.
Wen Xin didn't blame the God of Fate, but she was determined to find out the cause and effect of her terrible fate in the novel.
Moreover, the feeling of having a dangerous enemy lurking behind you, constantly watching you, is terrifying.
Wen Xin was unwilling to leave herself with future troubles and regret her actions.
This time, Wen Xin did not go to support the God of Fate, but her tone was not harsh or sarcastic. She simply demanded the truth: "God, who exactly harmed me back then?"
The Lord of Fate shook his head, "No one in the Temple of Fate wants to harm the Lady."
Wen Xin frowned slightly, but she could tell that the Lord of Fate was not lying, so she patiently waited for him to continue.
The God of Fate paused, then sighed deeply, "Speaking of which, it was all my foolish disciple's fault. After the great war of the gods, the Nine Heavens were in ruins. The innocent beings saved by the Lady's sacrifice all needed me to re-form their destinies..."
"Afterwards, His Majesty instructed me to choose a good destiny for the reincarnation of your soul fragments. I should have done it myself, but my disciple saw that I was so busy that he volunteered to help and took over the matter of the lady's destiny."
The Lord of Fate trusted his beloved disciple immensely, and for many years, he imparted all his knowledge to that disciple who was expected to become the next Lord of Fate.
It was not difficult to help Wen Xin's soul fragments be reborn into a good destiny; the God of Fate had great faith in his disciple's abilities.
However, she made a mistake, causing all of Wen Xin's soul fragments to become unlucky, tragic heroines in a romance novel.
Generally speaking, such tragic fates are punishments for evil spirits who committed sins in their previous lives, or deities who were banished for committing grave mistakes.
By the time the Lord of Fate realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Once one's destiny is formed, it cannot be changed.
Fortunately, the God of Fate discovered that although Wen Xin's soul fragments had distorted destinies, they all contained hidden vitality. Moreover, by a twist of fate, her reincarnation cycle formed a closed loop. Apart from Qin Yue, who had a symbiotic contract with her, no one could find her whereabouts and thus harm her.
Most importantly, the God of Fate had foreseen that although Wen Xin's fate was unfavorable, it would be an opportunity for her and Qin Yue.
Having survived this ordeal, they will have achieved perfect merit and will be able to rule the Nine Heavens together without fear of wind or rain, which will be a blessing for the entire world.
The God of Destiny spoke with deep emotion, “Madam, you have a heart that cares for all living beings, your love is selfless, and your merits are profound. What is rightfully yours will be yours.”
Even though her fate has been completely altered, she will still receive the full compensation due to the laws of heaven and earth.
The fact that she could win the heart and love of the Lord of the Nine Heavens, who would pledge his life to her, is surely due to her profound blessings.
Wen Xin: "..."
Well, she was a little embarrassed by the compliments.
She wasn't actually that selfless.
It's just that she'll do what she's supposed to do, live up to the expectations of heaven and earth, live up to her youth, and live an honest and upright life.
However, Wen Xin looked at the kind old man who trusted his disciple, pursed her red lips, and after a moment asked, "Who is the God's beloved disciple?"
Now that things have come to this point, there's no need for the Lord of Fate to hide anything any further.
"Her name is Lan Yi. She is a solitary orchid in the Temple of Fate who cultivated herself into a god, recognized by the rules of heaven and earth, and one of the main gods who assists me in managing the fates of countless living beings."
According to the Lord of Fate, Lan Yi was originally a celestial plant he cultivated. By chance, she gained enlightenment and became intelligent. She was pure, kind, and hardworking, cultivated the spiritual path, did good deeds, and was full of merit. After becoming a god, she dutifully assisted the Lord of Fate and never made a mistake for thousands of years.
The Lord of Fate has always believed that Lan Yi is the most likely successor to him to be appointed by the rules of heaven and earth as the next master of the Temple of Fate.
However……
"In truth, it is also my fault. Because of the great war of the gods, the Nine Heavens were filled with blood. Lan Yi had never seen such a tragic battlefield before. She was also worried that I would exhaust my divine power and perish, so she was distracted and made a mistake."
"To condense the fate of a great evil into that of a person of great merit is a great taboo for all the main gods of the Temple of Fate... Lan Yi was severely punished by the rules of heaven and earth for this reason, her divine power collapsed, and she almost perished."
