Chapter 864: Chapter 68: The Great Explosion of Destiny_2

Purple Rain was devoted to serving the ancient castle wholeheartedly, with no time to spare.

The “Commander” for the reboot mission had only one choice… Of course, this was not a helpless move, as Osmond’s capability and prestige were sufficient to command this operation!

“His Majesty has appointed a young man to be your adjutant; this matter… was not informed to the Central City meeting.” Purple Rain slowly said, “His Majesty believes that the announcement regarding the adjutant should be made after the mission concludes.”

“Oh?” Osmond raised an eyebrow.

The adjutant personally chosen by His Majesty…

“Lord of the Legion, I respect His Majesty’s will,” Osmond said solemnly. “But let me say this beforehand, this mission is of great importance, being my adjutant is not easy… If this appointed person is not competent, I won’t spare him any face.”

Purple Rain smiled.

“Rest assured.”

She said calmly, “There is no need to give special care due to his ‘appointed’ identity, you can arrange everything as usual. I do hope you can refine him well through this mission.”

“Oh… His Majesty wants me to refine him?”

Osmond was taken aback.

Over at the airship, the belly compartment opened, and the lift platform slowly rose.

He instinctively turned around, looking towards the entrance of the corridor. The sharp light spilling from the automatic sensing door was a bit dazzling, and a straight, familiar young figure came into view.

The young man stood upright and saluted solemnly, “Lord Osmond, nice to see you again.”

“So it’s you… Lin.”

Osmond suddenly comprehended the true intent behind the Legion Lord’s words.

He smiled and shook his head.

It was truly a coincidence, having guarded the True Wing Defense Line in the North Continent for years, his impression of this young man had always been good.

If he had to choose an adjutant himself… Lin Lin would be the best choice for this mission!

…

…

These few days, it was calm and tranquil.

On the first day, the Transcendents who came to this building were all drawn to one person. The Young Duke Zhen Yue was awaiting the final list on the rooftop, and then he directly took away those “predetermined” by him, stating that his team was already complete and would not participate in the subsequent team ceremony.

Before this, everyone had more or less heard the story of this young duke.

Commander Osmond had no comment on this.

Training was normal.

From this matter, it seems that Zhen Yue also has his “special privileges” in this reboot mission.

With privileges comes tasks.

This world is very large, yet also very small.

When the one hundred Transcendents on the final list entered the training field, the once-empty building became less silent, and occasionally one could see figures having a drink or two in the otherwise desolate bar.

Aside from the Young Duke Zhen Yue, the person who sparked the most discussion was Gu Shen… This young S-class from the East Continent enjoyed incredible privileges upon arriving in the North Continent, which also sparked considerable controversy.

Everyone knew that not long ago at the ennoblement banquet, Zhen Yue and Gu Shen had a direct confrontation.

Now these two are gathered together again.

Many are expecting sparks to fly between these two tough characters…

Unfortunately.

Everything remained the same, the sun rose and set, and Gu Shen would, aside from occasionally going to the combat pod on the thirty-seventh floor to relax, basically never leave his own floor.

These two, simply had no chance to meet.

Let alone cause any sparks.

…

…

Light Radiance, filled the room.

Meng Xiao sat cross-legged, with four exquisite porcelain bowls placed in each corner around him.

These four porcelain bowls were carved with the sun, the moon, the stars, and clouds, respectively.

This was a complete set of sealing objects used to suppress the spirit.

The corners connected, suppressing the blazing Spiritual Radiance within a one-meter circumference, and also stabilizing Meng Xiao’s spiritual power at the tenth level…

This time, he was not shirtless but wore a black robe.

This robe was also a sealing object.

The seven followers were in the room, several meters away, quietly watching this scene… It looked a bit eerie, as it was too quiet and seemed like some sort of ritual was being held.

In fact, this was a more serious “sacrifice” than a “ritual.”

The Light Aura filling the room came from a distant West Continent.

These Radiances continuously overflowed from Meng Xiao’s scars, continuously overflowed and turned into surging heat… It looked like he was a hot copper furnace, burning fiercely, while the simmering of these Spiritual Radiances became more and more imposing in the constant burning heat.

It appeared majestic.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

This was not his voluntary “power disperse.”

But rather uncontrolled.

The “Blazing Light Bracelet” on Meng Xiao’s wrist… Under such intense spiritual burning, began to awaken, his robe started to burn, spiritual power and Light Aura seemed to be guided by some power, flying towards the bracelet.

In this world, not only darkness turns into a Black Hole.

If pure enough.

Light… can too.

The bracelet, turned into a piece of Blazing Light wrapping around the wrist, engulfing all the boiling spirit and light fragments.

Meng Xiao, with his eyes tightly shut, was immersed in the dream guided by the bracelet.

He saw one shattered scene after another quickly flicker past.

This was the “sacrifice” Meng Xiao was conducting.

This bracelet on his wrist was a relic left by his father, and Meng Xiao originally thought it was just an ordinary piece among many relics… But once he truly explored it, he realized it was a forbidden holy relic capable of “divining fate.”

As long as he could pay enough of a price.

He could see his “disastrous future”—

What kind of terrifying power is this?

As long as the bracelet was fed, those images that would negatively affect his future could be accurately captured, even if they were a thousand miles away, even if they were in the [Old World]… this bracelet could deliver them precisely into his Spirit Sea.

All beings in the world are pulled by the invisible threads of fate.

And he, was the “spectator” with the right to view his fate; all divinations of disasters he could preview and respond to!

This time, he wanted to see a little more…

The burning speed of spiritual power was astonishingly fast.

He saw a corridor filled with flames.

Saw a tower where snow danced.

He saw the Empress sitting high on the throne, looking down at the hovering “Spirit Crystal Ball” in front of her.

Blazing Light surged, and the robe on Meng Xiao’s body burned to ashes, adhered to his body, and was devoured by the bracelet a few seconds later… His expression turned somewhat pale.

He did not expect this time the bracelet brought him to the Empress’ residence.

What does this mean?

Is his fate connected to the Empress?

He manipulated his spirit to see more of the scene, his vision gradually drifting closer, entering the world within the “Spirit Crystal Ball.”

Because he was away from that forbidden tower, his spiritual depletion was not so intense.

Meng Xiao subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, the scene of the Empress’ tower was merely a transition, which should be considered a good thing…

He saw the scene the Empress was gazing at.

Boundless, surging river waters, pitch black and viscous.

Duolu River?

The next moment… Meng Xiao’s relaxed face turned rigid.

He saw a familiar figure.

Above the river, a black-clothed figure flew through the air.

Ever since the labyrinth mission of the “Gu Castle” reached his ears, every time he used the bracelet, he would see this guy named Gu Shen… Every time, every time!

This time was no different…

But this time was different…

This time, in the “future divination” scene, that young man surnamed Gu turned back and looked at “himself.”

As if across distant time and space, he sensed his prying!

Meng Xiao’s breath hitched.

He knew it was all his illusion… this bracelet only provided future “scenes,” and even the Empress in the tower hadn’t discovered this means of divining fate, so how could this young man be aware?

What truly shocked Meng Xiao was.

The flow of time in the scenes provided by the bracelet became extremely slow… He seemed to see, at the end of the pitch-black river, a grand long light burst forth, overwhelming, rushing toward the sky, as if it wanted to swallow the entire world.

This seemed to be what the bracelet meant to remind him of…

In the future, his fate will be influenced by “that thing.”

Was that a… grand explosion?
