Su Yang sheathed his sword.
The entire space began to tremble at this moment. Clearly, without the master who created the space, even such a powerful illusion could not help but develop cracks.
Before Mr. Wang and Han Lin could understand what was happening, they felt the ground shaking all around them, as if the whole sky was about to collapse.
Mr. Wang immediately knelt down before Su Yang and begged for help: "God, God! Save us! We don't want to die! We still have so much youth left!"
Upon hearing this voice, Su Yang slowly turned his head.
What he said is true. Although he is the oldest person here, he is only in his thirties. Han Lin, in particular, is only fifteen or sixteen years old, just the age to attend middle school.
Su Yang shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't you understand? The fact that you were able to come here already means you're dead. Now you're just remnants of your souls."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
His pupils began to glaze over, a bitter smile playing on his lips. At a time like this, no one would believe they were dead, even though they were still conscious, even though the world they saw... seemed so real.
Seeing their dazed expressions, Su Yang slowly said, "Since you don't believe me, I'll let you see your own bodies when we go out later, but I hope you're mentally prepared."
The two looked up, seemingly lost in thought.
Just as this space was about to collapse, a golden light suddenly appeared in the village, as if illuminating the deep darkness.
Su Yang frowned slightly.
Is there anything else?
Just as Su Yang was about to draw his sword to defend himself, a calm voice slowly came from behind him.
"Young friend, do not be alarmed. I am one of the Five Manifestations of the God of Wealth, the Gray Immortal."
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of golden light accompanied by a faint phantom image appeared, eventually taking the shape of a small mouse. It then gradually grew larger, transforming into a hunched old man.
The old man's eyes were narrowed to slits, and a peaceful smile played on his lips, though his two small mustaches looked somewhat comical. He wore a loose blue robe, but his hands appeared very small, even somewhat deformed.
Upon seeing this scene, for some reason, Mr. Wang and Han Lin below froze.
When Su Yang saw the old man, he seemed to realize something.
The Five Manifestations of Wealth Gods are none other than the Five Great Immortals we often heard about before. And the Gray Immortal is a demon immortal who cultivated himself from a rat.
I thought it was just a folk tale, but I never expected to actually see a gray fairy here.
Su Yang cupped his hands and said, "So you are the Gray Immortal. I am Su Yang, and I have long admired your name."
The old man chuckled and said with his hands behind his back, "Great God, there's no need for such modesty. You have long transcended cause and effect, and even I am far inferior to you. I am fortunate to meet you today, and I wish to entrust you with a matter. Of course, if you agree, I will do my best to divine your fate."
Su Yang was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the Gray Immortal could see through his identity at first glance.
It seems the world is not as simple as he imagined.
Su Yang said, "Speak freely."
Grey Immortal squinted and smiled, "Actually, my idea is very simple. I hope that one day the Great God will meet a child with extremely high talent for cause and effect, so that he can pass on my lineage."
Su Yang was somewhat curious: "Oh? What does your lineage do?"
Grey Immortal chuckled and stroked his mustache, saying, "My lineage was formed by peering into the causes and effects of the vast universe, discerning the fate of all people, and deciphering the variables of the laws of heaven and earth."
Even Su Yang was somewhat shocked upon hearing this.
He knew some of the legends about the five great immortal families, but he didn't know anything about the Gray Immortal lineage. How did he learn about it from the Gray Immortal? He felt that their lineage was very remarkable.
Is he just bragging?
Seeing that Su Yang remained silent, Hui Xian chuckled and said, "Great God, there's no need to worry. When I perform divination, I also have to pay an equal price. The closer one gets to the realm of destiny, the greater the price one has to bear. So, generally speaking, most people don't choose to divine their exact fate. But that doesn't mean I can't even guess destiny."
"Moreover, if the Great God finds the successor of my lineage, it will be of great benefit to the Great God in the future, won't it?"
Su Yang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then you will divine my fate, and the price is that I find you a successor?"
Grey Fairy laughed and said, "That's correct."
Su Yang took a deep breath.
This seems like a sure-fire way to make money.
For Grey Immortal, it seemed to be forever sealed here by this 'real illusion', and the remaining energy of its immortal body was also dissipating rapidly. Clearly, Grey Immortal was extremely eager to find a successor.
For the sake of equivalent divination, ensuring the continuation of the Gray Immortal lineage is undoubtedly a significant destiny.
Moreover, once a successor is found, they can be used to one's advantage. Having someone who understands cause and effect and knows destiny by one's side is a huge trump card!
Su Yang smiled faintly: "I don't seem to have a reason to refuse."
Grey Immortal smiled and stroked his two tufts of beard, saying, "Thank you very much, Great God."
After speaking, Grey Fairy took out a small bell from her loose blue robe. As Grey Fairy's spiritual power transformed into golden energy and was injected into the bell, a golden mark was deeply imprinted on it.
The brand is the character '灰' (hui) written in small seal script, which seems to represent the lineage of the Gray Immortals.
As Gray Fairy slowly raised her hand, the small bell floated gently towards Su Yang and finally landed in his hand.
Holding the small bell, Su Yang chuckled, "Aren't you afraid I'll just swallow the inheritance myself?"
The Grey Immortal chuckled and said, "No, the inheritance of my Grey Immortal lineage has always been reserved for those with the right destiny. If one does not understand the principles of heaven and earth and the principles of yin and yang, then this inheritance is no different from that of an ordinary bell."
Su Yang waved his hand, he was just joking.
Such methods of defying fate are usually related to cause and effect, and the dangers associated with cause and effect are immense. Moreover, Su Yang's time is very limited; he must increase his strength within a year, otherwise, how will he fight Chi You?
They can't even take care of swordsmanship, so how can they care about anything else?
Grey Immortal, of course, didn't care about what Su Yang said, and said with a smile, "It's rare to find someone as witty as you, Great God. It's just a pity that my days are numbered, otherwise I would definitely chat with you for a few more hours."
"Let this old man ponder the will of Heaven one more time! Great God, you watch closely!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gray Immortal opened his hand, and several golden runes instantly appeared on his seemingly tiny palm, forming seven magic arrays. Gray Immortal flipped his palm over, and the seven magic arrays immediately outlined lifelike patterns, with countless eyes appearing in front of Gray Immortal.
These golden patterns floated in front, some characters floated out, and some characters were arranged in front. As time went by, these characters gradually emerged in three rows.
With just three lines of text, totaling no more than twenty characters, the Gray Immortal now only had half of his immortal body left!
The consequences of this cause and effect are clearly severe!
