Chapter 585 - 585: Duel of Destiny! Jun Tianyun Challenges System (No Need to Worry, Not Final Chapter)

*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*

The celestial hammer thundered on the burning metal orb, each strike refining the material. Initially, the metal orb was in shape of burning red, but it slowly turned into a glazed blue hue.

' Tsk Tsk, the heart of the ancient fiend was supposed to be something Lin Fan should have absorbed. But again, who would have thought it would turn into a heavenly material for forging a treasure?'

With the last hammering, Jun Tianyun picked the orb and tossed it into a pool of blood. ' Now, let it simmer till it get ready again.'

Standing in the God's Space, Jun Tianyun looked at the sky. He always loved keeping the endless expanse of night as his backdrop. The cold wind dried his sweat as he slowly walked on the grassy plains.

He walked till he reached the Altar of Heavens. The ancient bronze pillars stood together, with a stone altar was resting between them.

" Amusing, isn't it?" Jun Tianyun spoke with a casual laugh. " The simulation technique of God's Space, that could simulate anything in a few go, couldn't decipher the Sun Moon Primordial Refinement Art, and merge with Nine Godly Fiend Body Forging Art and Sublime Art of Natural Breathing."

" Why? Because it will create a powerful technique for Immortal Cultivation?"

Su Qingyao floated before Jun Tianyun, " My darling, what are you talking-"

Before she could finish the sentence, Jun Tianyun raised his hand flicked her forehead. Suddenly, Su Qingyao froze as her eyes rolled back, turning into a bright golden.

" Now, do I need to invite you for a talk?" Jun Tianyun spoke coldly.

'Su Qingyao' straightened her body, looking at Jun Tianyun with the golden eyes without any pupils. Her voice echoed, but not her real voice. It was strange, without any gender, yet presence of a archiac dominance.

" I…am…surprised. To…think…that…you…managed…to see…my…presence."

" I just did as a test." Jun Tianyun sat down on the grass, " Because I and Su Qingyao both knew that she isn't the true spirit of Heaven's Fortune System. You made a contract with her dying self, and used the soul as contracted spirit."

" But, what I never thought that you will be an independent entity…or have some hidden motive. Till now, at least."

Su Qingyao gazed at Jun Tianyun, " The Old Dragon's relic… I never expected there was such a fate related treasure hidden in this world. No… This world's presence itself is a surprise."

" Indeed, absorbing the bracelet, it's not only you who took the benefit." Jun Tianyun gave a cold laugh, " Now since you have appeared, why not have some honest talks?"

" Yes… I do not wish you…to cultivate the immortal path." Su Qingyao replied placidly, " You are my host, and you must ascend to godhood."

" Who is this we?" Jun Tianyun sneered, " You want me to ascend to godhood? Or it's you who wish to be the god through me?"

Su Qingayo stayed silent for a moment before replying, " You are me. You have already merged with me."

With a wave of hand, she pointed at the Throne of Fate. " I have already recovered most of my shattered fragments. The constant supply of faith, all that's remaining is your willingness."

" The moment you became my host, you fought through destiny and reached here. Then why not see the end of path with me?"

" The thing is, is it really going to be me?" Jun Tianyun asked, " The unity you are speaking of, what's the point if I become the God, yet not stay as me?"

" What god is tangled by these mundane mortal strings?"

Jun Tianyun retorted, " What god if he can't fulfil his desires?"

" You can ascend right as a True Deity. And after that, reaching the realm of Nebulous Star will barely take a hundred years." Su Qingyao raised her arms to the sky, shouting loudly.

" What is a Nebulous Star? Will you be a walking powerhouse across the universe? Even the seat as a constellation is there, waiting for you."

" This planet is what? When thousands of stars, thousands of planets, and endless dimensions will be under your grasp?"

Jun Tianyun looked at the sky, " But what use of being the ruler of all, when it still won't be me? Why? Won't directly say you wish to erase my consciousness?"

Su Qingayo closed her mouth, " Not I have to necessarily. As I said, you and I have already merged. Hence there will be no exactly you, nor there will be me."

" So this is why you afraid of immortal path. You are afraid I will create an alternate path, and will sever our ties to break free. That you are afraid…All these years, all these suitable condition for you to awaken…All will be wasted."

" Then what makes you so arrogant?" Su Qingyao asked to Jun Tianyun, " If you rip me away right now, what will you be? A person with an absurdly strong, yet crippled body. Without me, you will have no control of destiny."

" Hahaha! HAHAHA!"

Jun Tianyun slapped his face as he laughed, " Yes yes! I won't. But my beloved system, countless people also don't have control over destiny. Yet they still strive, they still grit, they still move forward!"

" But what about you? Even you had control, you still fell to this low! So what makes a difference between you and me?"

" What use of destiny, when there is no man to carry it's burden? What will YOU do, when I won't carry you?"

" Besides, I am not without all help." Jun Tianyun smirked as he pointed at the sky, " Even as divinity, you are still in a world with an active World Law. The World Law that favors me."

" So? Still confident?"

A reign of silence, Su Qingyao looked at Jun Tianyun.

" What do you propose?"

" A wager." Jun Tianyun chuckled, " What is fate if not a grand gambling?"

Su Qingyao laughed as she nodded, " Very well, I can see the time for ascension is near. The next time you embrace the power of fate, we shall see."

" A duel of fate, I accept the challenge."

" Wait, where are you going?" Jun Tianyun taunted as Su Qingyao turned to leave, " We should balance the fields, no?"

" What do you mean by that?" Su Qingyao asked curiously.

" How can I make any plan with you always observing me?" Jun Tianyun shrug, " You should go and take a good nap. I will wake you up when the time comes."

" And for extra faith…How about this?" Jun Tianyun smiled mysteriously, " I shall not cultivate any immortal qi cultivation technique."

Su Qingyao held hand of Jun Tianyun, " Contract of fate binds us. The one who breaks the promise shall lose before the duel."

" No Immortal Qi cultivation."

" No observing or meddling."

A thread of bright gold tied their hands, making Jun Tianyun nod. Su Qingyao's eyes returned to normal as she stumbled, making Jun Tianyun hurry and catch her.

" Ugh! My head…Wh-What just happened?" Su Qingyao looked at Jun Tianyun and winced. Jun Tianyun lowered his head and kissed her, " No need to worry, my love. Everything is fine now."

" Ah, speaking of which, I wish to hear about some tales of Immortal World." Jun Tianyun smiled, " I feel I will be needing some information."
