Novel Full 92 Overlapping Factor
“ABOUT THEM BEING captured? You should have given me a mission like what happened to Feng Huang’s sister or when Lin Diyu was once in danger.” Yang Lujia was starting to question Fortuniel’s reliability.
A poetic silence ruled the two of them. Meanwhile, City Palace Lord Xia Zhiguang, City Lord Ice, and the other two were in a daze. Yang Lujia became quiet all of a sudden that which caught them off guard.
“Host, it was only normal. At the time when I told you to save Lin Diyu, it was the time before you accepted him as your disciple. It was the same with your second disciple, Long Guang. As for Feng Huang, her condition to save her sister in order to acknowledge you as her master is part of my Disciple Acknowledgment Ability.
“I don’t have a tracking ability or a danger-detecting related ability that would assist you to know whether they are chased, captured, injured, or not. Again, unless it was issued in order for the disciple to acknowledge you as his or her master.”
In the end, Yang Lujia thought that it made sense. It seemed like his thoughts about Fortuniel being a potential threat to his existence were unnecessary, but it didn’t mean he’d let his guard down.
After the inquiries he did, his gaze once again laid on the other four, specifically at City Lord Ice.
She had an aura that was familiar to him. Did he know her?.
“City Lord Ice, I am familiar with your aura. Can you perhaps change the shape of your entire body?” Yang Lujia said, his stare peering into her bones. “I happened to have encountered a fellow in the Eastern Territory before.”
City Lord Ice was stunned. “You were that kid who called himself Long Ao? That handsome boy?”
“No, it seems I am mistaken.” Yang Lujia shook his head and redirected the topic to another.
Again, he was being careless. He should have known that when he encountered her in the shape of an old man, he asked him questions about the Echinemon Race.
If they were to find out about his objective, who knew it would implicate Long Guang, Feng Huang, and Brownie even more?
Although he wanted to save them fast, though, he realized that he was being too protective of them. Especially Long Guang. He had been protecting this kid for quite a time since.
Being months old with a ten-year-old appearance, Long Guang needed to grow up. Eventually, this little dragon would grow into a fine young man someday. If he’d dote on him very much all of the time, he might miss the old days when he was still young.
Getting entangled with such an emotional connection would lead him to have more weaknesses on his side.
“City Palace Lord, why am I a factor overlapping the fate of Da Sishen?” Yang Lujia was curious about this fact. Even though he was ridiculously strong, certain things were still obscure to him.
“Fate is a rule that an expert practicing the Divination Path would have. Sir, if you do not know, I happened to have grasped the rule of fate before because of an inheritance from a tomb in the Valley of Gods. That happened even before the fight between the Underworld Prison and Da Sishen commenced.”
Yang Lujia rolled his eyes and said, annoyed, “Just get straight to the point.”
“Yes, sir.” Xia Zhiguang solemnly bowed. “In other words, I am able to see a glimpse of the fate of Da Sishen. However, there is one living entity that seems to be not connected with the fate of Da Sishen, a factor overlapping it.”
“And that’s me, right?” Yang Lujia pointed at his chest. His face then turned strange. “Does it mean that I am like someone who does not belong here? Like I am outside the jurisdiction of this realm? Would it be the same as the other realms as well?”
Xia Zhiguang pondered about it for a moment and replied, “There is a possibility that it is the same with the other realms, sir. After all, the Five Realms are interlocked with each other, having said to have the same origin. Hence, it is very likely that you are also excluded from the fate of the other realms.”
Yang Lujia had guessed as much. He then thought of Brownie’s words about him, his surname Yang and the system panel of information about him. He was not from the Human Race. Instead, he came from a Void Human Race. It seemed like this was one factor.
“But why am I suppressed if I am outside the realm’s jurisdiction? My strength should be enough to overpower the entire realm,” Yang Lujia said, very certain about the extent that his strength could erupt. “In the Valley of Gods, I was able to damage its restrictions.”
Xia Zhiguang stared at Yang Lujia, somewhat speechless. “Being outside the jurisdiction of a certain realm means you will be able to change the fate of that realm. I think you are suppressed because someone is deliberately doing that. Have you noticed that there is barely any increase in your realm, sir? If so, it must be likely because someone was monitoring you and was trying to keep you in place.”
At the thought of it, Yang Lujia shivered. What he always thought when someone was oftentimes staring at him seemed to be true. Although he was already cautious enough, he was still being seen through? Then, how powerful would that entity be to do that?
He only has his instincts to notice him, not some kind of power or technique to discover the other party’s exact location or identity.
Even Fortuniel seemed to be suppressed as well. He could remember that the highest rewards he could get from the system were heaven-raked scriptures, divine artifacts, and elixirs. It was truly a strange thing if he were to think of it.

Feng Huang and Brownie were still unconscious. At the moment, they were placed together with a group of other living beings, above a large plate-like platform. Something was gradually sucking out their heaven and earth qi, as though they were made to supply something.
In fact, below them was a spherical object that was glowing with black light. An ominous feeling immediately struck Long Guang’s body. Looking from side to side, he truly wanted to squeeze his tears out.
But when he saw Feng Huang and Brownie lying down almost without a trace of life, he remained headstrong. Clenching his tiny fists, he gnashed his teeth, eyes filled with determination like no other.
Long Guang walked on the plate-like platform and saw several of his brethren, some dragons belonging to the Dragon Race. Some of them already fainted after being deprived of heaven and earth qi.
Ignoring them, Long Guang shook his head and forced his tears back. Then, he looked up and circled around to look at the overall appearance of the place. Sure enough, everything was dark. Nothing was visible to his eyes.
Moreover, it seemed like something was blocking his sight from peering further into the darkness. This frustrated him even further.
He tried to fly but realized that he couldn’t. Among the three of them, he had the most qi left as he did not particularly participate in the fight. Thus, he could only channel some of his qi to Feng Huang and Brownie.
Otherwise, the two would be left with bones in no time.
