Chapter 342: Pearl of Destiny



As they were looking at this scene in amazement, the machine suddenly began to rotate, emitting a powerful force. Zhao Ji felt that the golden armored guards around him were retreating, their faces full of fear.

However, Zhao Ji did not retreat. All he had eyes on was the rotating machine, the thing that might be the Pearl of Destiny.

He took a deep breath and rushed forward. He rushed towards the spinning machine with only one thought in his mind, which was to get the Pearl of Destiny and uncover its secret.

When he was about to touch the bead, he felt a strong force gushing out from the bead, a force so strong that he could not resist it. Then, he was swept up by the force and brought into an unknown world.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar world. There was no sun, no moon, only the ubiquitous blue light.

Zhao Ji struggled to stand up, he looked around, trying to find something familiar. However, this world was completely unfamiliar to him.

Just when he felt desperate, he heard a voice: "Welcome to my world."

Zhao Ji immediately turned around and saw the mysterious man. However, the mysterious man at this moment was no longer the same as they saw in the secret passage. He exuded a powerful energy field and his eyes flashed with a deep light.

"Who are you?" Zhao Ji asked cautiously, "Who are you? Where is this?"

The mysterious man walked up to Zhao Ji with a smile, "I am the guardian of time, this is the other side of time."

Zhao Ji was stunned, he couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes. However, when he saw the mysterious man holding a shining bead in his hand, his heartbeat accelerated instantly.

"The Pearl of Destiny." Zhao Ji whispered, "Is this the Pearl of Destiny?"

The mysterious man nodded, "Yes, this is the Pearl of Destiny. It connects the various worlds, and those who possess it can travel through time and space."

Zhao Ji took a deep breath, "Why are you telling me this?"

The mysterious man looked at Zhao Ji with a smile, "Because you need to know all this."

The mysterious man handed the Destiny Pearl to Zhao Ji, "Now, you can choose to stay here, or you can choose to return to your world. But no matter what you choose, remember that every choice will have consequences."

Zhao Ji looked at the beads in his hand, his heart full of hesitation. He didn't know how he should choose, and he didn't know whether he could bear the consequences of his choice.

However, he knew he couldn't stay here for too long. His country needed him, his people needed him. He had to find a way to return to his world and continue his responsibilities.

So, Zhao Ji clenched the beads in his hand and said, "I want to go back."

The mysterious man smiled and said, "Do you think I went to so much trouble to find you here just to let you go back?"

"I have a mission here. If you help me complete this mission, I will let you go back. Otherwise, you, a mere mortal with flesh and blood, will be trapped here forever..."

The mysterious man smiled mysteriously, which made Zhao Ji feel a chill. He asked nervously: "What mission? How can I believe that you will keep your promise?"

The mysterious man shook his head: "This mission is not easy, but I will keep my promise. You must complete this mission before you can return to your world. Moreover, I cannot force you to accept this mission. You need to make your own decision."

Zhao Ji frowned. He didn't know what the mission was, but he was very curious about this mysterious man and this mysterious mission. He decided to accept the mission: "I am willing to accept the mission, but how do I know what it is?"

The mysterious man smiled, and his smile made Zhao Ji feel an indescribable sense of trust: "You will know when you are ready to accept this mission. Now, you need to adapt to this new environment and get familiar with this new world."

The mysterious man turned and left, leaving Zhao Ji alone in the dark. He looked at the Destiny Pearl in his hand, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. However, he knew that he could only trust himself, and he could only do his best to complete this mysterious mission and find his way home.

Zhao Ji took a deep breath, walked firmly into the darkness, and began his adventure. He knew that every choice would have consequences, and he had to bear them, no matter what they were.

In the darkness, only the faint light brought by the Pearl of Destiny illuminates a little bit of the road ahead.

Zhao Ji noticed that there seemed to be some complex dark patterns engraved on the road, and these patterns looked like some hieroglyphics. So Zhao Ji stopped and walked slowly here, looking at these patterns carefully.

Maybe it was because he had been looking at it for too long, but Zhao Ji felt that he seemed to understand the meaning of some of the patterns on it.

"Escape...danger...eyes?" Zhao Ji roughly recognized the meaning of part of the pattern, but he had no way to connect the meanings of these patterns together.

Seeing these meanings, Zhao Ji even thought that the flowers on the ground were explaining the history of this place.

After all, it is both escaping and dangerous.

But suddenly Zhao Ji felt something in his heart and looked up. At that moment he was horrified because the ceiling he saw was covered with patterns of pairs of eyes.

It seemed as if those eyes were always staring at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was horrified, and he tightly grasped the Destiny Pearl, trying to find some sense of security from it. He realized that this mission would not be easy, and he needed to face not only the unknown of this world, but also his own fear of the unknown.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Zhao Ji found that after staring into those eyes for a long time, he always felt an inescapable dizziness in his head.

Moreover, the feeling of dizziness was so severe that Zhao Ji was beginning to have auditory hallucinations. He always felt that these eyes seemed to have mouths and seemed to have something to tell him, but now he could not hear anything clearly.

"Stop talking, stop talking..." Zhao Ji covered his head irritably, trying to get rid of the noisy sound, but there was no change.

What Zhao Ji didn't notice at this time was that the Lamp of Destiny in his hand was flickering, as if resisting something.

Zhao Ji felt a strong dizziness and could hardly stand. He wanted to lean against the wall, but it felt like the wall was spinning. His heartbeat accelerated, and a strong sense of fear made him feel as if his heart was grabbed by a demon. Gradually, he felt a pain that made it difficult to breathe. At this moment, Zhao Ji suddenly realized that something was wrong and began to look up.

Those eyes have changed dramatically!
