"veto!"
"Fate has come true!"
After the 167th hair shattered, finally, a different pattern appeared in the center of the Wheel of Fortune.
In the painting, a figure stands at a crossroads, with countless roads stretching into the distance, and at the ends of some roads, one can vaguely see the phantoms of terrifying monsters crawling.
Tina breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and said with a smile, "Holy Lord, I was right, wasn't I? As the controller of the divine authority of fate, changing some bad fates is a piece of cake."
"Amazing, amazing!"
Jiang Yan glanced at the other person's seemingly unchanged head of black hair and sincerely praised him.
As expected of a supreme being, even their hair is much thicker than that of ordinary people.
What does this painting represent?
"Hmm... The choice of the forks in the road, this is a rare series of prophecies. Only by taking the right path at every fork in the road can one reach a better destiny."
Tina raised her hand and pointed into the air, and countless strange lines of fate extended from her fingertips, connecting with the pattern in the center of the roulette wheel.
As time goes by, more and more of the fate lines break and disappear, until only one remains.
"The thread of destiny has been laid; it will guide us at the right time, Holy Lord."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Yan nodded, her anxiety easing slightly.
In an unfamiliar environment, nothing is more important than "the right direction".
"Be prepared, once we're out of the barrier zone, there might not be any time to rest."
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Upon hearing this, the angels closed their eyes again and began to pray devoutly.
......
Three days later.
The calm gray mist rippled, and a vast divine kingdom flew out from it.
"What a strange world."
Jiang Yan stood at the entrance, gazing into the distance.
A sense of desolation, barrenness, and ruin arose spontaneously.
He scanned the nearest planets with his divine sense.
The vast majority of them have completely lost all traces of life, and not even a trace of vegetation remains.
All resources have been exhausted, and a strange creature can be vaguely sensed at the center of the planet, absorbing the planet's remaining energy.
Tsunamis, lava flows, and landslides... destruction is just one step away.
"A group that has transformed its resources to this extent is truly terrifying."
Jiang Yan was startled.
He hesitated for a moment, then decided not to capture the strange creatures that were parasitizing the center of the planet.
According to information from various sources, it should be a type of soldier known as "planet raiders," capable of extracting the energy of an entire planet without damage, at the cost of destruction.
Their consciousness wavebands are connected to their respective groups, and if they are attacked or killed, their groups will sense it instantly.
“Holy Lord/Emperor, there is a problem with the laws here.”
At this moment, Tina and Satan spoke at the same time.
"Um?"
Jiang Yan waved the Staff of Calamity, and a forbidden spell of holy light appeared in the void, instantly shattering a floating meteorite tens of thousands of miles away.
"Something's definitely not right."
Jiang Yan frowned slightly. During the spell he just cast, his mana consumption was almost twice as high as usual.
Normally, as your mastery of the laws increases, the cost of the same spell will decrease.
Each time a spell is cast, only a small portion of divine power is consumed as a catalyst, while the remainder resonates according to the level of the law, and power descends from the source land to replenish it.
“Protect me, I’m going to take a look.”
Jiang Yan gave an order and entered a meditative state, his divine sense gradually resonating with heaven and earth.
He possesses the permission granted by all realms, making him the most suitable candidate.
After an unknown amount of time, a faint consciousness appeared in the sensory perception.
It seemed very timid, cautiously discerning what it was, before excitedly pouncing on it once it was sure of it.
A pre-set trigger notification from all realms sounded:
[The will of the sealed land has been successfully connected; it will guide you in place of all other realms.]
[Ding! The Interdimensional System is temporarily closed.]
Jiang Yan was taken aback, even doubting whether he had misheard.
What?
Is something so weak the will of this world?
"Revered powerful being, were you sent by the realms to save me?" A voice, tinged with surprise, rang out.
"I guess so... Are you really the will of this world?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.
“Of course, it’s the real deal. Since you’re here to save me, let’s get out of here quickly,” the World Will urged.
"Leave? Not now."
Jiang Yan shook his head and said, "The task given to me by the various realms is to eliminate the insect plague here. It said you could give me some guidance, but I don't know..."
"Eliminate the insect plague? No, no one can eliminate them!"
The World Will suddenly became agitated: "They are demons, they are robbers! They devoured everything in the world, and now they've stolen my power too!"
"They are invincible. Their king is about to awaken and will one day devour all realms and gods. My only advice is to run, run as far away as possible!"
"Calm down."
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then, rousing the power of his divine position, reassured them, "As you can see, I am the God-King who controls the Holy Light and the authority of the undead. I am the strongest among the pantheons. Do not be afraid. Tell me what you know, and I will destroy them for you."
"Holy Light and the Lord of the Dead?"
The world's will quieted down, as if it were subtly sensing something.
A moment later.
"My God, have the two most powerful ancient pantheons in legend fallen so low? Even a weak high god can become a god lord."
"It's over, there's no hope for the myriad realms. Run! If you can get me out of here, I'm willing to give you the last bit of holy light and the power of the law of the dead to help you break through to godhood. Run! It'll be too late if you wait any longer!"
The World Will became even more agitated, becoming completely uncommunicative, and simply hid beside Jiang Yan, urging him to escape.
Jiang Yan's face darkened.
—Of course, it's definitely not because the weak world's will turned around and slandered him as weak.
Instead, he discovered that he had been tricked by the various realms.
The information provided by the various realms made no mention of the insect plague being so powerful as to devour even the world's will, nor did it mention the so-called "King is about to awaken."
No...maybe it's worse than that.
Jiang Yan was suddenly startled.
Based on the information currently available, it seems that beings from all realms cannot directly descend into the sealed land.
In other words, the latest intelligence it has acquired over the years is very likely all provided by the world's will of the sealed land.
However... the world's will, drained of its power by the Zerg, still provides information that is somewhat accurate...
Or is it possible that all the intelligence was disseminated under the control of the Zerg?
An enemy of completely unknown strength...
The world's laws are on the verge of collapse...
The abyssal power, lurking somewhere unknown...
Recalling the previous prophecies about fate, which resulted in being devoured over a hundred times in a row, if Tinas hadn't changed destiny...
Perhaps... that's not the worst outcome, but the only outcome.
