Chapter 560 Longevity Lamp Upgrade

Return to Lingzhou City.

Garden mansion.

Sitting on the bench in the attic, looking at the lotus pond outside the window.

Shen Ping looked a little confused.

What is destiny.

In his thinking, it is the life trajectory of a person from growth to end. This trajectory is both predictable and changeable. Otherwise, if the ending is destined from the beginning, then what is the point of practice?

No one wants to struggle meaninglessly under the arrangement of fate.

But now.

In this world, even the talents of the fate lamp masters have been arranged long ago. Ordinary people are destined to be ordinary people from generation to generation, without any chance of turning over. The same goes for the fate lamp masters, who keep reincarnating and repeating their predetermined fate.

Even if one or two lives are different occasionally, it is just a characteristic of the changeable fate.

If this is the true destiny.

So what difference does it make whether you resist or obey?

Shen Ping thought about the Immortal Realm. Was he destined to take the road to the Boundary Sea Peak from the very beginning? Was the golden finger just speeding up this path?

"Husband."

"It's late at night, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

at this time.

Yang Yi'e came over and looked at Shen Ping's expression. "My husband seems to be worried."

Shen Ping sighed, "Yi Moth, if everything is destined by heaven, then isn't everything we do in vain?"

Yang Yi'e smiled dumbly, "Why did my husband suddenly say these words?"

"Nothing, just some occasional feeling."

"If everything is really destined by heaven, then I should thank heaven for letting me meet my husband and be together with him."

She leaned on Shen Ping's shoulder and said softly, "So not all things destined by fate are bad."

Shen Ping held Yang Yi'e's slender waist and shook his head, saying, "You are right."

In this world.

The life lamp masters are born noble and can enjoy all the splendor, women, wealth, status, longevity, etc. at the touch of a finger. Even if they have to repeat themselves in reincarnation after reincarnation, I am afraid all life lamp masters would be willing. And those like him who have the talent of longevity lamp can even become the legendary nine-star life lamp masters and dominate all living beings.

Although fate has destined me to confront those life lamp masters who plunder the talent of the longevity lamp, this is nothing more than some hardships.

Compared to what we enjoyed, it's not worth mentioning at all.

With such a fate, it seems too pretentious to talk about the meaning of it.

Including the territory of immortals.

With a beautiful wife and concubines, great opportunities and the growth of his own strength, what else could he be dissatisfied with?

Shen Ping knew all these of course, but he just felt sorry for all the people at this moment. They worked hard in life after life, but in the end they couldn't change anything at all. It was really sad. So if this was the true meaning of fate, to be honest, he was very disappointed.

"Husband, don't think so much."

“Our understanding of the world may only be superficial.”

Yang Yi'e comforted.

Shen Ping lowered his head and held those red lips, "Yes, it's just an appearance."

He has only been studying fate for a short time, so it would be too superficial to draw conclusions now.

Be gentle for a while.

Yang Yi'e said, "My husband, you should marry Luo Lin to us next year. You are the director of the government office, so you can't have only me as your wife. There should be more people at home, otherwise it will seem lonely."

"OK."

Since Luo Lin possesses the body of a fire beast, he naturally will not let her go.

…

Spring goes and autumn comes.

Winter comes and summer goes.

In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.

These five years.

After Shen Ping governed Lingzhou, he soon discovered that as long as it was something that benefited the people of Lingzhou or could greatly change the fate of ordinary people, the candlelight of the longevity lamp would be brighter, and it would improve faster when absorbing the life energy of resentful spirits.

This made him realize that the longevity lamp might be related to the fate of all living beings.

Therefore, he became more concerned about the governance of Lingzhou.

in this case.

The seven longevity lamps in his body burned more and more vigorously, and were not far from the seven-star upper grade.

In addition.

After nearly four years of love with Lorraine.

The Eyes of the Flame Beast were indeed growing, and now it could see the fate of ordinary people within a year, which was of great help to his observation.

And the most important thing is.

Through the Eyes of the Flame Beast, he interferes with and changes the fate of ordinary people and even the fate lamp masters in a more subtle and silent way, and is able to change everything without leaving a trace, rather than interfering directly.

"Use your own momentum to push the foundation and thread of fate, and interfere, so that the rebound force caused will be minimal!"

"Or rather, this itself is following destiny."

After figuring this out.

Shen Ping was very excited. He knew that now he could finally participate a little in the arrangement of the power of destiny and understand and study destiny more clearly.

"A good son-in-law."

"In recent years, our Yun Kingdom has enjoyed good weather and peace. Lingzhou has also become more and more prosperous under your rule. The monarch has already issued a commendation decree, and he will come to the city soon."

Speaking of this.

Father-in-law Yang whispered, "Yan State has been plagued by disasters over the years, its national strength has declined, and its people are suffering. According to the intelligence my Yang family has gathered in Yan State, within three months, Yan State will attack Lingzhou again."

"This commendation is also a reminder for you to be prepared and secretly send reinforcements."

Shen Ping suddenly realized and frowned, "If Yan State starts a war this time, it shouldn't withdraw its troops as hastily as it did last time. When two countries go to war, the common people will suffer."

Father-in-law Yang stroked his beard and smiled, "It is rare for a good son-in-law to have such a heart for the people, but you must not have a woman's heart, otherwise you will not only harm yourself, but also the people."

"I know."

…

Remote mountains.

Been waiting for so long.

The Fire Lord finally waited for his master to return.

"Unfortunately, we failed this time and were unable to kill the Eight-Star Life Lamp Master."

Its owner lamented repeatedly, "During the years I was away, has anything happened in Yunguo and Yanguo?"

The Fire Lord said hurriedly, "Nothing major has happened. The princes of Yan have been fighting each other for years and have no spare energy to attack Yun. However, Yun has taken the opportunity to develop and become more powerful. Recently, the Shangjing of Yan has decided to attack Yun Lingzhou and intend to take the opportunity to plunder in order to enrich the treasury."

Its owner sneered, "Yan State has only achieved this much. It is no longer the dominant country it once was. It seems that we can't expect a real war between the two countries."

The Fire Lord hesitated and said, "By the way, Master, there is a happy event."

"What's the good news?"

"I have discovered in recent years that the new director of the Lingzhou government office has the gift of the Longevity Lamp!"

When its owner heard this, he said, "Really?"

"How dare I lie to you?!"

"Hahaha, good, very good, you have done a great job in this matter."

"The Longevity Lamp has a rare talent. I didn't expect to find another one. By the way, how powerful is he?"

"Seven-star middle grade."

Seeing the owner showing excitement.

The Fire Lord couldn't help but ask, "Master, haven't you already obtained the talent of a long-life lamp?"

Its master glanced at the Fire Lord and said, "Since you have done a great job, I will tell you that the Longevity Lamp is the greatest opportunity in the world. Not only can you become a Nine-Star Life Lamp Master, but you may also have a chance to transcend the Nine Stars. However, this requires some special conditions. Although I don't need the Longevity Lamp anymore, the more reserves of this talent, the better."

"Once I have thoroughly studied him, I will give him to you to plunder."

How could he not understand the little tricks in his subordinates' minds? They just wanted to steal the Longevity Lamp and become a Nine-Star Life Lamp Master.

Don't mind painting a big picture for the other party.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master!"

The Fire Lord said excitedly: "By the way, Master, if the director of the government office stays in the state capital, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to trap him. Once you take action, it will also disturb the Yun Kingdom."

Its master nodded, "This matter does need to be carefully considered. Although the Seven-Star Mid-Rank is quite powerful, as long as he leaves the state city, without the state city's Life Lantern Array, he won't be a concern. By the way, isn't Yan State going to attack Lingzhou City? We can just follow their lead."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Quickly send your men to help the Yan State."

"yes!"

…

Shen Ping didn't know that he was being targeted by the eight-star life lamp master, but even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart now. He had broken through to the seven-star level, and combined with his various talents, he was not afraid of anything that was not an eight-star top-grade master.

After all, just by strengthening his talent, he could instantly possess the strength of an eight-star life lamp master.

at this time.

Inside the government office.

After meeting the imperial envoy who issued the decree.

The two went to the backyard to discuss.

"Dean Shen."

"Your Majesty has secretly sent two eight-star life lamp masters to support us and station them in Lingzhou City. If the Yan Kingdom dares to invade, they will regret it."

"With two eight-star seniors in charge, Lingzhou has no worries."

The imperial envoy smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very satisfied with Dean Shen's ability. I hope you can pay more attention to the food and logistics and military deployment these days. Lingzhou is the northern barrier of our Yun Kingdom. If Lingzhou is safe, Yun Kingdom will be safe."

"If you have any difficulties, Dean Shen can tell me and I will report to the king."

End of conversation.

The imperial envoy left.

Shen Ping began to think. He naturally didn't like war, but when two countries went to war, the fate of countless people would change. He could also take this opportunity to observe carefully. Although it was a bit utilitarian, such opportunities were rare.

Moreover, the more casualties there are in the war, the more vengeful spirits will gather, and combine with the evil spirits on the soldiers to produce life energy, which will be of great help to the life lamp masters of seven stars and above. The two eight-star life lamp masters in Kyoto must have come because of this.

Unfortunately, they don’t know that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind.

The Lord of Fire is also waiting for war.

Look up at the sky.

The rolling clouds give off an oppressive feeling of impending storm.

More than half a month passed.

This day.

In the bedroom.

Shen Ping, who had just finished a great battle, looked at the charming and rosy Luo Lin and held her in his arms lovingly. The rapid improvement of his Flame Beast Eyes was all thanks to the hard work of the beauty in his arms to serve him.

Now it has reached the level of transformation.

The predictive insight of the Eye of the Flame Beast increased from one year to five years.

Five years is enough time to basically predict a person's predetermined destiny. As long as you make good use of it, you can make a big difference and change their destiny with little effort.

"From searching and discovering the various laws of fate, to participating in and utilizing them... Although I still haven't truly mastered a single bit of the power of fate, if I continue like this, I will definitely be able to comprehend the true power of fate!"

This moment.

Shen Ping is extremely confident.

In fact, through these years of interference, he gradually discovered that the long river of destiny was indeed extremely complicated. What he had understood and sorted out before was just the basics. Whether it was the foundation of the river of destiny, the thread of the river of destiny, the destiny, the fate of reincarnation, or one's own momentum, they were only visible and tangible. In the vast river of destiny, there were various deeper connections.

They lurk beneath the river of destiny.

Only when change occurs will the water surface.

“Beginner’s guide, utilization, promotion, and change… If these are the four ways to understand and comprehend the power of destiny, then I am still at the beginner’s guide stage!”

The next day.

He came to the city wall for patrol.

A responsible officer was directing the soldiers to reinforce the city walls, among them was the lantern master.

Shen Ping immediately used the Eye of the Flame Beast.

The fate of these fortune tellers over the past five years is still vivid in my mind.

Just two months later.

They are about to go through a war with the State of Yan. Some of them will die, while some will be tempered and become more mature.

Through the observation of the Eye of the Flame Beast, he almost completely restored the future war. Some loopholes in the city defense were also filled in time, and those lurking spies were eliminated one after another.

But within a certain range, destiny is not fixed.

After Shen Ping solves a problem, new problems will arise, which means a new destiny path.

And after a month of preparation.

All possible considerations have been prepared.

And he also knew that the master of the Fire Lord would also appear in this war.

It just so happens that I have many questions.

Can be obtained from it.

As the news of Yan State's dispatching troops to the south spread, the clouds of war gradually loomed. This time was different from the last attack by the Yan State's marquis. Instead, the entire Yan State's war machine was mobilized. The number of troops deployed alone exceeded 300,000, and these were elite troops, not counting the auxiliary troops.

Therefore, the Yun Kingdom also continuously dispatched troops to reinforce Lingzhou.

The trade and travel channels between the two countries have long been banned, and numerous checkpoints have been set up along the way.

Government office.

In the hall.

Shen Ping discussed with the three major families and Lingzhou’s senior members including General Zhenbei.

According to the intelligence.

At the speed of the Yan army's march, it would take a month and a half for them to arrive at Lingzhou city. This is just the vanguard. As for a large-scale siege, it would take at least two months.

"Yan will definitely attack in advance, so don't be careless."

"This time, the Yan State is coming with great force and is well prepared. Their purpose is not just to take advantage of others!"

Shen Ping said in a deep voice.

General Zhenbei narrowed his eyes, "I don't know where the dean got the information from, but Yan State's national strength has declined in recent years. Although they have gathered a large number of elite troops this time, it will still be difficult for them to take over Lingzhou."

There are 100,000 soldiers in the entire Lingzhou.

This is a standing army.

About 100,000 people have been transferred from other states, but they will take more than a month to arrive.

But just 100,000 is enough for defense.

"As long as we hold out for more than half a year, humph, Yan State, with so many soldiers mobilized, will definitely be the first to collapse!"
