"Uncle!"
A surprised voice rang out.
It's not Di Tian.
A golden figure pounced over, the massive head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion pinning An Zhen down and gently nuzzling him. If it were an ordinary human, this would probably have sent them flying.
"Stop."
With tremendous force, An Zhen pushed Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head away, straightened his disheveled clothes, and looked at Three-Eyed Golden Lion in confusion, "Why are you calling me uncle?"
"You're Di Tian's uncle, so naturally you're my uncle too." A clear and melodious female voice rang out, her golden eyes, especially the crimson vertical pupil between her brows, fixed intently on An Zhen. For some reason, Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt closer to An Zhen than before; just being together gave her a comfortable feeling.
" Electrolux." Di Tian nodded to Electrolux beside him, as if to say hello.
He has received the Lord's message. He specifically cleared out Lake of Life, because the matter of the Lord and his uncle cannot be told to the other beasts yet.
He learned about the ally. Although this guy was human, he wasn't from this world.
"Hmm." Electrolux nodded gently.
"Uncle." Di Tian looked at An Zhen, "My lord has instructed me to follow your orders."
"Should I call Murasaki over first?"
"No rush." An Zhen looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. He needed to test something else first— whether the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which carried the power of destiny, could, like Huo Yutong, help him resolve the oppression of Douluo Plane.
" Three-Eyed Golden Lion, do me a favor."
"Go ahead," Emperor Rui Beast, who had almost completely ignored the other Spirit Beasts, said without hesitation.
"Do you remember the space where your consciousness was when you merged with me? I'm going to put your consciousness back in there in a bit, so don't resist the suction." An Zhen instructed.
"OK."
That place that made her feel comfortable?
I want to go to Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Yellow, purple, orange, gold.
Five spirit rings appeared on An Zhen's body, with the third purple spirit ring lighting up.
The next moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion collapsed to the ground, as if asleep. In the Virtual World, the figure of a golden Spirit Beast appeared. An Zhen's consciousness began meditating and cultivating within the Virtual World.
Just a little while.
A hint of joy appeared in An Zhen's dark eyes.
It is entirely possible to cultivate at full speed.
Fifth Spirit Ability: Destiny!
The orange-gold spirit ring lights up.
The next moment, the joy in the black-haired boy's eyes vanished like a receding tide, replaced by a milky white liquid that filled his eye sockets. His dark pupils transformed into a chaotic color that seemed to be composed of countless beings, devoid of any emotion, looking down upon all living things in the world with an air of superiority and equality.
The eyes are exactly the same as when An Zhen fused with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion last time, but the difference is that last time they were displayed as vertical pupils between the eyebrows, while this time they are displayed as a pair of eyes under the eyebrows. Moreover, it was done by An Zhen alone. Although the consciousness of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is in the Virtual World, they did not fuse.
I don't know if it's because of the previous fusion with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, or if it's just the right time to unlock this authority, but the authority unlocked by the fifth spirit ring is "Destiny," or as the name of Spirit Ability suggests, it should be called "Heaven's Mandate."
As for his abilities, he currently only possesses the ability to "see" and the temporary ability he gained when he fused with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. It's not that he can't "modify" them, for example, by using some attack abilities from the Fate side. However, it's as if he has a premonition, like a hint from fate, that An Zhen is being told that if he uses these abilities with his current strength, something bad might happen. He should at least wait until after becoming the Spirit Emperor before trying.
An Zhen wasn't in a hurry; his abilities were there, and he wasn't going to run away.
Simply changing the fate of others is not difficult for An Zhen. Based on the feedback from the Virtual World during the last fusion, the fate of beings in a World is already fixed, and only beings who transcend the World can change it.
However, An Zhen's soul originates from outside the World, meaning that some of his significant actions can alter the fate of others. This doesn't mean there's no "correction of fate," or that other Titled Douluo can change someone's destiny simply by offering random guidance. It's because the actions of those Titled Douluo are already part of fate; their every move is already part of the script of destiny. An Zhen, coming from outside the World and whose soul hasn't yet been assimilated, is a "variable."
An Zhen looked up at the sky.
He saw more this time than he had seen when he merged with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion before.
Unseen by others, a large cloud of reddish-golden mist floated above An Zhen's head, revealing the figures of countless Spirit Beasts. This was the power of destiny of the Star Dou Great Forest, the very thing carried by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"oh?"
An Zhen uttered a questioning sound.
Above the power of destiny in the Star Dou Great Forest, at what seems to be the highest point of the sky, there is a huge crack, like a tightly closed eye.
In an instant, an indescribable, unprecedented sense of crisis coursed through An Zhen's entire body.
An Zhen lowered his head as quickly as possible.
The power of destiny faded, revealing normal, dark eyes. However, at this moment, An Zhen's eyes were filled with terror.
"Uncle?" Di Tian noticed An Zhen's condition.
Electrolux frowned in confusion and looked up at the sky.
Did they glimpse the existence of World consciousness?
"It's nothing." Shaking his head, An Zhen adjusted his breathing and returned to normal.
Curiosity can kill.
An Zhen had a vague feeling that if he continued watching, divine retribution would descend upon him instantly. The kind of retribution that even the power of fate from the Star Dou Great Forest above his head wouldn't have any effect on.
While the Three-Eyed Golden Lion can play the same role as Huo Yutong in terms of cultivation speed, and Huo Yutong was able to help An Zhen dispel the heavenly punishment, this doesn't mean the Three-Eyed Golden Lion can do the same.
Bearing the destiny power of Star Dou Great Forest.
The daughter of destiny favored by Douluo Plane.
These two are completely different.
Without the Silver Dragon King's power of destiny, how much of the "weight" does the Star Dou Great Forest occupy in the entire Douluo Plane?
If the former is a nobleman with a fiefdom, then the latter is the crown prince of the entire Empire, whose position is unshakeable unless some treacherous villain interferes.
Of course, for An Zhen's current cultivation level, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is enough.
An Zhen released the consciousness of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The fifth Spirit Ability, destiny.
An Zhen looked up at the sky.
The power of fate from Star Dou Great Forest didn't completely disappear from his head immediately. At this rate, it would take about two or three days for him to absorb some of the power of fate from Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The first day I miss Yu Tong.
" Three-Eyed Golden Lion, transform into a human and come with me to the human world, okay?" An Zhen felt like a creepy uncle trying to lure a little girl with a lollipop. Uh, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion actually did call him uncle.
According to Gu Yuena, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion can be used to gather faith power. Emperor Rui Beast seems to be the object of worship for the Spirit Beasts. Moreover, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has an advantage over Huo Yutong: she possesses the power to control destiny.
Although Huo Yutong is the "Crown Princess" and possesses immense power, the Empire does not belong to her. She is favored by the Douluo Plane but does not control the power of destiny. While the Star Dou Great Forest's power of destiny, possessed by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, is insignificant compared to the entire Douluo Plane, it is undeniably usable. It should be of considerable help if he later develops the "destiny" of the Virtual World.
"Can I go back into that place?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes were still unsatisfied, and he was enjoying himself when An Zhen suddenly interrupted him.
"certainly."
"Then I'll go with you." Without even asking Di Tian's opinion, Three-Eyed Golden Lion agreed immediately.
"Rui Beast, you need to transform into human form first," Di Tian instructed. He had no objection to Emperor Rui Beast entering the human world, as it was already permitted by the Lord.
Di Tian reached out, and a golden scale engraved with intricate patterns appeared in his hand, radiating an extraordinary dragon's might.
"What is this?" The golden spirit power lifted the golden scale, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt a sense of familiarity with the golden scale.
The next moment, as if a treasure long sealed away had finally found its right master, a dazzling golden light shone forth. When the light faded, a treasure floated in the air. It was a long spear, entirely made of brilliant gold, with faint dragon-shaped patterns visible on it.
"This object is called the Golden Dragon Spear. It was formed from the forty-ninth rib of His Majesty the Golden Dragon King. It is a powerful divine artifact," Di Tian explained. "It possesses immense destructive power and can devour Life Force for its own use, replenishing its own consumption and enhancing its vitality. However, only those who possess the power of the Golden Dragon can wield it; otherwise, they will suffer its backlash."
"The Lord has bestowed some power upon Him, enabling communication through mental force, allowing us to send and receive messages to the Lord."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed lost in thought.
As if she had done something, the Golden Dragon Spear transformed into the golden scales that had just been there, landing on the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and sticking to the scales beneath her golden fur.
"Di Tian." An Zhen looked at his "nephew" and said, "Call Zi Ji here. Once the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has completed its transformation, we will go to the Sun Moon Empire together. You also need to go and help me destroy Limit Douluo, whose Spirit is the Dark Holy Dragon."
"yes."
Destroy one Limit Douluo?
For him, possessing dual soul cores that complement each other's yin and yang, and wielding the Dragon God's Claw, this was no problem at all. If he hadn't always adhered to a low-key approach to avoid causing too much trouble and being noticed by God Realm, thus affecting his master, how could those powerful humans who entered his Star Dou Great Forest to hunt the Spirit Beast have possibly left alive?
And it's the Dark Holy Dragon. Spirit.
Even the true Dark Holy Dragon is suppressed by his bloodline in front of him, the son of the first Dark Dragon King and the second Dark Dragon King.
"Uncle." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nudged An Zhen toward Lake of Life with its head. "I don't know what form I should take. Can you give me some advice?"
An Zhen: Does the Transformation feature still support free character customization?
"Oh, right." An Zhen suddenly remembered something, looked at Di Tian, and instructed, "Gather all the Golden Turtles in Star Dou Great Forest, all of them."
