Chapter 169 - New Contender?

The Eyes of Destiny?

The Eyes of the World?

Heavenly Eye?

It's somewhat similar to the Wu Hun Fusion Skill, but it's not actually the Wu Hun Fusion Skill.

It's somewhat as if the power of destiny from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is involved, manifesting as a third eye similar to that of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. However, this isn't actually the case. Although it resembles the third eye of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the power of destiny within it truly belongs entirely to An Zhen.

The power of destiny from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion entered his body, activating the destiny authority of the Virtual World. To be precise, it was a trial card, only available during fusion, but it did allow him to unlock this authority ahead of time.

"It's probably something like fate," An Zhen said.

When An Zhen opened his vertical pupils, a completely new perspective appeared in his mind, similar to reality, but with additional elements around each person—the embodiment of their individual destinies. For example, Teacher Mu En was surrounded by a majestic and imposing Light Holy Dragon, its body covered in a dense red aura, its eyes gazing lovingly at An Zhen. However, the powerful dragon already showed signs of age and weakness, having reached the final stage of its life.

Light Holy Dragon, radiating intense red light, the dragon's loving care for him, frail and aged.

The moment An Zhen looked at Mu En, a series of messages came from Spirit.

The Light Holy Dragon is compassionate, frail, and old—these aspects are easy to understand. The Spirit refers to one's attitude towards him and his current state.

That dense red aura represents a person's destiny in this world, determining how far they can go in the future. Destiny can be altered, but only with the intervention of an entity that surpasses or transcends this world.

An Zhen looked at the others.

Xiao Xiao, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian's Spirits, which are manifestations of their destinies, are young and vibrant, all radiating a red aura, though differing in intensity. Wu Feng's red aura is the most intense, no less so than Mu En's, and it even has a touch of shimmering gold.

Where is Dong'er?

Light Goddess Butterfly, Clear Sky Hammer, and a Sea God Trident.

They shimmered with a faint golden halo.

So, does the golden halo represent becoming a god?

An Zhen then looked at the fiery dragon that had manifested beside Wu Feng. A spirit of immense power, comparable to the son of a Fire Dragon King— without a doubt, Wu Feng's talent qualified him to become a god. However, becoming a god here refers to receiving the inheritance of a God's Position, meaning transcending the interference of beings in this world. Therefore, the aura emanating from Wu Feng and the others represents their probability of becoming gods through their own efforts, based on their current strength and talent, without the interference of powerful beings—that is, without the inheritance of a God's Position.

As for Dong'er, An Zhen's gaze fell on Sea God Trident; someone had already intervened.

An Zhen looked towards Huo Yutong.

A blinding golden light instantly filled An Zhen's entire field of vision.

Golden Legend!

With a thought from An Zhen, the golden light was compressed back, and the destiny of her beloved little one materialized in An Zhen's vision. It was a frost dragon with eyes as bright as stars, its eyes overflowing with dependence and love. Unlike Wang Donger's faint golden light, the frost dragon's scales, which should have been ice-blue, were now dyed a dazzling gold, sparkling brilliantly.

They are able to create their own God Position and become gods.

Moreover, it is a very powerful god.

That's terrifying.

But thinking about it, it seems quite normal.

Although Ice Dragon King lost some of his power and took most of the rest, Huo Yutong absorbed the Dragon Soul and Spirit Bone, which were the legacy of a being who was once comparable to a god-king.

Most importantly, Huo Yutong is the daughter of destiny of Douluo Plane.

Imagine Tianmeng Iceworm encountering Huo Yutong, and how he carried Huo Yutong to escape the heavenly tribulation.

Undoubtedly, within this realm, anything influenced by the World's will will become an asset to Huo Yutong. Although the Douluo Continent is not the God Realm, it possesses a wealth of treasures. The full name of the God Realm is the Douluo God Realm, highlighting the Douluo Continent's importance. The Douluo Plane is the most powerful of the many planes controlled by the Douluo God Realm.

The Asura God, Sea God, and Angel God all left their legacy here. The Sea God and Angel God both emerged from here, and the Sea God even possesses a powerful artifact. Aside from the hidden Silver Dragon King, there's also the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the fallen Ice God of the Far North, and the Qiankun Asks Love Valley left behind by the fallen God of Love …

An Zhen wouldn't be surprised if Huo Yutong went out for training one day and fell into the treasure vault left behind by Divinity.

Douluo is blessed with good fortune, and the Ice Dragon King's dragon soul lends its aid.

As long as there is no external interference, An Zhen has no doubt that Huo Yutong is more powerful than Lord Huo in the original work.

An Zhen looked at Gu Yuena.

He was prepared to be blinded by the golden light.

But it is not like Huo Yutong.

It was a massive silver dragon, its long, slender body possessing both power and beauty, yet it lay there listlessly, its purple eyes gazing at An Zhen with an air of intimacy. Its body also radiated an extremely dense golden aura, similar to Huo Yutong's. Hmm? My Yutong possesses the bearing of a god-king?! However, the exact intensity of the golden light was somewhat imperceptible, because a layer of deathly gray covered the silver dragon's golden surface, obscuring it and suppressing her completely.

An Zhen had anticipated Gu Yuena's manifested destiny, but the fact that he could glimpse it still surprised him. After all, Gu Yuena herself possessed considerable status and abilities. However, the Virtual World's status was not low either.

Under An Zhen's unwavering gaze, Gu Yuena frowned slightly. She felt somewhat uneasy, as if someone was wantonly prying into her secrets.

Observing the qi (vital energy).

This is the name An Zhen gave to this ability; it's simple and clear.

As one of the authorities on the World Modulation Mode, An Zhen vaguely sensed that it wouldn't be as simple as just "seeing"; this was merely the initial application of the authority of fate. As for what went further…

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in my heart, and the warning of fate echoed in my mind.

An Zhen stopped his earlier idea of ​​taking the power of fate a step further.

That was also one of the powers of the Authority of Fate, reminding him of the good or bad consequences that his next actions might have.

Forget it, An Zhen isn't in a hurry to figure out the power over destiny. After all, it's originally his, and it will definitely be unlocked in the future, making it easier to explore. Besides, he can't bring Emperor Rui Beast back to Shrek Academy.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, An Zhen explained the "aura observation" technique. However, he concealed some details, such as the manifestation of Wang Donger and Gu Yuena's destinies, saying that each of them radiated a red aura.

"It's quite useful for checking how well others like you are, and for finding talent," An Zhen said.

"Indeed." Mu En nodded gently.

Fate is unpredictable. Innate talent in spirit power does not necessarily determine a person's future achievements. One may die young during the growth process, or encounter a bottleneck that leaves them stuck in their current state. But some people, like Huo Yutong back then, are like golden carp trapped in the mud, waiting for the storm to come so they can soar into the sky and transform into a True Dragon soaring through the heavens.

Wouldn't appointing An Zhen as the admissions officer bring all the world's talents to Shrek Academy? However, this idea was immediately rejected by Mu En. Aside from the fact that Shrek Academy already possessed the best students in the world, and that the guys in Star Dou Great Forest would absolutely not allow them to take the auspicious beast away, Mu En didn't believe there was anyone in the world who could rival An Zhen. Shrek Academy already possessed the most powerful geniuses in history. The current Shrek Seven Devils were the most talented class in tens of thousands of years.

One shouldn't be too greedy. Mu En's greatest wish now is for these children to grow up safely.

Suddenly, darkness fell. When everyone looked up, they saw that the once bright sun had turned into a black sky, and the light of Star Dou Great Forest seemed to have disappeared in an instant. Only Elder Mu emitted an extremely bright light, enveloping everyone.

The trees in Star Dou Great Forest suddenly underwent a strange change, swaying collectively from the inside out, as if an invisible pressure was rising from the core of Star Dou Great Forest.

In the endless darkness, only a glimmer of light appeared, without a sound. It was as if many silent monsters had emerged from the darkness, peering at the last glimmer of light.

"Ultimate darkness." Now possessing the attribute of ultimate light, An Zhen was acutely aware of the changes around him. The young man looked up at the sky, "This is even the Dragon Emperor Douluo... " What even Dragon Xiaoyao couldn't achieve, the only person on the continent to have ever possessed the ultimate dark attribute, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.

"Human!" A handsome man with black hair and golden eyes appeared in the sky. The light emanating from Elder Mu vaguely illuminated the man's appearance. His golden eyes were like bottomless abysses, devouring the surrounding light. His voice, calm and devoid of any extra emotion, rang out, "Hand over the auspicious beast, and I, in the name of Emperor Tian, ​​guarantee you that you will leave safely."

Just now, Zi Ji, who had taken a Sun Tiger to visit the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, suddenly reported that the auspicious beast had gone missing, leaving Di Tian completely stunned. Fortunately, judging from the aura of Star Dou Great Forest, the auspicious beast was still within it. He quickly found traces of its aura and rushed over without stopping. The trail went cold in the mixed zone, but luckily, the aura of Star Dou Great Forest suddenly fluctuated, allowing him to perceive the correct direction.

"Auspicious Beasts! Humans, where are the auspicious beasts?!" A chorus of roars erupted, like rolling thunder. From the darkness, towering yet indistinct figures appeared, a chaotic dance of demons, like an unknown terror howling in ferocity. Each one possessed at least 100,000 years of cultivation.

Di Tian stood in the void, quietly gazing at the crowd below shrouded in light, displaying the demeanor of a powerful figure.

However, Di Tian felt a little uneasy.

Especially when the silver-haired, purple-eyed girl's gaze fell upon him.

The Lord had instructed him to place the Three-Eyed Golden Lion under house arrest, but he allowed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to escape. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion even ran into a team led by the human Limit Douluo.

This was his fault. Fortunately, the Lord and his uncle were there.

uncle?

Di Tian's gaze fell on the man holding the master's hand. He looked very similar to his uncle, but why did the extreme light attribute on him have the aura of a Three-Eyed Golden Lion?

"Stop making noise!" An Zhen hated the noise.

Di Tian raised his hand, and whether it was his prestige or the extreme darkness that shielded the sounds, the surroundings instantly fell silent.

An Zhen activates its spirit power, fusing and separating.

A milky white and golden halo enveloped An Zhen, forming a sizable vortex. The power of fate made it impossible for others to see through it. When the vortex dissipated, amidst the surprised gazes of many Spirit Beasts, the figure of a golden Spirit Beast appeared beside An Zhen, who was dressed in a fitted outfit.

Then, amidst the surprised and angry gazes of many Spirit Beasts, An Zhen placed his hand directly on the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and stroked it. However, to their bewilderment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which usually regarded such things as its Achilles' heel, showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, it seemed to be thoroughly enjoying itself, nuzzling its head into the human's arms.

"Alright, little guy, your family is here to pick you up. Let's go home." An Zhen stroked the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said gently.

"Hmm."

The golden beast's eyes gazed at An Zhen, filled with reluctance.

"Human." A clear, melodious voice rang out as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke, "Come with me, and I'll treat you to something delicious."

Delicious? An Zhen remembers that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed to like eating the brains of the Light-attribute Spirit Beast.

"No." An Zhen shook her head. "I have family. How can I go with you?"

"Family?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion glanced at the group of people behind An Zhen: a group of young girls and a wretched old man. "I will be able to transform into human form in the future, and I will become your family. Di Tian and the others can also be your family."

How many people are in Huo Yutong?

This is the first time I've ever seen a Spirit Beast trying to steal a man.

No! We already have to be wary of women with ulterior motives, now we have to be wary of even Spirit Beasts?

"Alright, alright." An Zhen smiled helplessly. "What do you know, little girl? Go home obediently and don't run around like that again. It could be dangerous if you run into bad people."

"Human," the Three-Eyed Golden Lion said seriously, "I am much older than you."

"Mmm." An Zhen nodded with a smile, as if coaxing a child.

In the arena where the powerful Spirit Beast confronts a human powerhouse, the protagonist and the beast are talking like friends.

I really miss the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

She was reluctant to part with the pleasant feeling she had experienced in that strange world, and reluctant to part with the human being in front of her who made her feel so close to him.

"Wait a moment." Mu En suddenly spoke, and the power of light surged, directly transforming into a sphere that enveloped the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Human, what do you want to do!" Di Tian stared intently at Mu En.

"It's nothing." Mu En gently raised his head. "I just feel it's a bit of a waste to release such an important auspicious beast for free."

An Zhen blinked. His teacher had said from the beginning that he wouldn't hunt auspicious beasts. He knew that would provoke a furious retaliation from the Star Dou Great Forest; Mu En wasn't like those Body Sect guys. And now, he certainly wouldn't harm auspicious beasts in front of so many Spirit Beasts.

"A Spirit Beast that's a little over 10,000 years old with a spiritual nature, a Spirit Beast that's a little over 10,000 years old with multiple elemental powers or a spiritual nature, and a Spirit Beast that's less than 10,000 years old, but close to 10,000 years old, with fire element and dragon blood." Mu En stated his terms, "You won't lose out if you exchange these for the auspicious beasts that return safely. I want powerful ones, don't try to fool this old man with some trash."

In the darkness, a purple-haired mature woman suddenly looked at Di Tian. The characteristics of the Spirit Beasts this human mentioned were the same as those of the Spirit Beasts that Di Tian had told her about, the ones she was to use to intimidate.
