Chapter 890 - 840: Chaos Descends Upon the Heavens! (4)

In the sea of consciousness where the Heavenly Eye has opened.

The star signs hidden by the gray haze appeared like a three-dimensional picture.

In the scene depicted.

Beside the Ziwei Star, there is no configuration of the Killing, Breaking, and Wolf stars guarding it.

What’s more, the numerous star particles around the Ziwei Star flicker, brightening and dimming randomly.

This is a trend of decline!

Most critically, the light of the Ziwei Star has dimmed to a mere thread, faintly visible.

It’s on the brink of extinction at any moment.

Given this situation, even using the term "flash of returning light" wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

"How can this be? How can this be? The Ziwei Star without the Killing, Breaking, and Wolf stars’ configuration, a Ziwei Star existing for the fate of mortal stars! Has this ever occurred in history? The Ziwei Star stands for the Monarch’s fortune and dynasty, so how can it lack the Killing, Breaking, and Wolf around it? What’s going on? What’s going on?"

Murmuring crazily, thoughts began to scatter.

Suddenly.

Lai Zhuge seemed to have made a decision.

He gritted his teeth fiercely.

And bit his fingertip again.

The crimson Yang Blood surged out.

He fervently pressed it on his forehead.

Simultaneously, he recited the Peeping Sky Theory, a version existing only in his mind, with eyes closed.

After three minutes of muttering the recitation, he stopped.

He opened his eyes suddenly.

Immediately, the red light at his forehead grew incredibly dazzling.

With full vigor and spirit, he shouted loudly and stomped his foot.

In an instant, his entire aura shifted dramatically.

As if born with the presence of a Demi Immortal.

The blazing red light at his forehead seemed to birth an eye.

Looking straight towards the Ziwei Star!

But before he could glimpse anything.

A sudden backlash of the heavenly mandate struck fiercely.

In the next instant.

Lai Zhuge’s forehead seemed to be struck back by a boundless force.

His whole body flew backward, colliding with the stone pillar of the pavilion.

"Puh-!"

A mouthful of blood infused with his essence poured from his throat.

The red light on his forehead vanished.

The sea of consciousness returned to pale.

The Compass needle that had fallen to the ground no longer shone with dazzling silver light.

Lai Zhuge’s face was as pale as paper!

"Heavenly will and mandate! The heavens wish to annihilate the Ziwei Star, the mandate seeks its collapse! How can this be? How can this be? What does this Ziwei Star represent? Pulling countless mortal stars to coexist and perish, this is an omen of great misfortune, great misfortune!"

With the spitting of that mouthful of blood, the weakened Lai Zhuge coughed weakly as he shouted.

After shouting.

He instinctively pinched his fingers to make a prediction.

But how could pinching fingers reveal insights when even peeping into the heavens failed?

Indeed.

No matter how he pinched, the sea of consciousness remained a white blur, revealing nothing.

Swish-!

His pale face looked at the starry sky hidden by the gray haze.

Lai Zhuge leaned against the stone pillar of the pavilion and slumped down!

Though he wasn’t of saintly character, thinking of the imagery of living beings in peril, he couldn’t help but feel anxious and tremble.

Yes.

He attributed the meaning of the Ziwei Star to that of a nation.

Without the configuration of Killing, Breaking, and Wolf, it meant there were no allies.

With mundane stars coexisting and perishing, this spelled disaster and unrest for all beings!

If he could have peeked into the heavenly will, perhaps he could have thought of a countermeasure.

But the mandate had obstructed him, does that mean the situation cannot be altered?

Lai Zhuge didn’t know.

He only knew that he was powerless now!

All this while he never associated the Ziwei Star with Qin Fan.

After all, even if he were an ordinary civilian, how could he possibly be the Ziwei Star, regardless of how defiant he was? Truly it doesn’t adhere to common sense or logic!

Perhaps Qin Fan might have a chance later, but currently, it simply doesn’t match!

Looking at the star sign where he could no longer search for the Ziwei Star, Lai Zhuge, gravely hurt in vital energy, panted heavily. He wished to stand up and recover, but to no avail, he couldn’t quickly restore the vital energy so dramatically damaged by heavenly might.

....

At the same time.

At the peak of Mount Tai, the chief among the Five Mountains.

Six Paths stood at the mountain top, lost in thought.

In his eyes, looking towards the starry sky above!

For Lai Zhuge, the Ziwei Star had become elusive.

But for Six Paths, it still persisted.

"Master, what’s wrong with the sky?"

Behind him, Ru Yi Elder spoke out in confusion.

In his memory, the master wasn’t the type to contemplate worldly stars.

"The sky is about to be disrupted!"

Six Paths’ voice carried a hint of sighing, then continued, "I didn’t expect he turned out to be where the Ziwei Star is located. It seems that what he said about the Heavenly Dao’s child is true! Alas, the mandate truly is not his! It seems my journey of return will yet be delayed indefinitely! Forget it—forget it—since it’s heavenly will, it ultimately cannot be stopped! Just involving so many innocents is somewhat excessive! Though we are part of the Cangqiong’s people, I dare not defy the heavens to protect you, but for the innocents around you, I can still ensure their safety! Travel well; perhaps coming here destined for you an inevitable calamity!"

"Master, what are you talking about? Who is he? What is the child of Heavenly Dao?"

Behind him, Ru Yi Elder became completely puzzled by Six Paths’ words.

Knowing that, as a servant, he should not inquire so much.

Yet he couldn’t help but be bewildered by the master’s strong shift in demeanor.

"Nothing! You needn’t know, knowing too much isn’t good for you! Alright, let’s go!"

Bowing his head that had been gazing at the starry sky.

Six Paths’ mood suddenly became somewhat low.

Upon knowing Qin Fan shared the identity of Cangqiong’s people, he was thrilled.

But now, amid the celestial signs, he felt saddened.

This couldn’t be said to be sorrow over a dying peer.

Yet owing to a sentiment, it was never an outcome he could casually face.

Thus, over the five centuries on Earth, aside from Ru Yi, no one captured his emotional affection.

Because he had long comprehended the path of worldly existence.

Regarding celestial signs, Qin Fan was clueless.

In his world, no heavenly will or mandate existed.

From the moment he stood in Cangqiong Continent.

He told himself with the classic line from novels of his past life.

I demand this heaven never again shrouds my sight!

I demand this earth never again buries my heart!

I demand all living beings understand my intent!

I demand those Buddhas vanish into smoke!

Such madness was what earned him the title Shura Venerable unhindered on Cangqiong Continent!

Therefore, having endured a hundred difficulties in life, it was not about ignorance of star signs, but even if he knew, what of it?

Throughout the five hundred years in Cangqiong Continent, reflecting on these days after reawakening.

When did he not go against heaven?

Wandering under the bustling night of Jinling’s marketplace.

Watched the box-office phenomenon of Wolf Warrior 2, satisfying Sister Yinuo’s fervent national pride.

Then took a round through Jinling City’s street food alley, indulging with the foodie by having a feast.

As night deepened, the two did not continue wandering.

Instead, they turned their gaze to the hotel standing in the bustling city!

Originally, as Qin Fan intended, he hoped to stay a night at a love hotel.

Alas, Sister Yinuo hadn’t restored vital energy, so how could she indulge him?

After all, once caught in a long night of passion, satisfaction comes only by dawn.

Sister Yinuo couldn’t bear it; in her state of unrenewed vitality, she truly couldn’t bear it!

Pained by the meaning in Sister Yinuo’s resentful gaze.

Qin Fan finally, amid gentle teasing, pulled her into a regular star-rated hotel.

Yet while he was absorbed in flirty banter with Sister Yinuo, he failed to notice several gazes drifting subtly towards him from afar.

Nor did he sense the unusual aura.

For this operation, Li Tiandao evidently expended considerable resources!

Numerous Hidden Breath Grass plants instructed by him to hand over to the Gu Clan and Training Spirit Clan.

For foolproof action, even the Spiritual Beasts took some of it.

In the premise of not releasing aura nor activating Qi Force, this Hidden Breath Grass sustained effects for three days!

In other words.

They only have three days of golden time for their action plan!
