The sudden sound made Di Tian feel slightly stunned for a moment. He quickly reacted to the voice and turned around immediately. Bi Ji was standing right beside him as they both knelt down with great respect. They faced the direction where the mysterious sound had come from. Di Tian kept his head low and spoke with a humble tone.
He asked if his master had finally woken up. By the edge of the large lake, the air began to shake and ripple in a strange way. A stunningly beautiful girl slowly stepped out from those spatial ripples. Her skin looked fair and almost translucent, like fine porcelain.
She had long silver hair that flowed down her back like a waterfall of fresh snow, reaching all the way to her waist. Her eyes were like deep amethyst jewels. They looked ethereal and calm, showing no signs of any impurities at all. She was tall and slender, and she carried an aura of cold, elemental purity. The girl walked slowly toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
When the Three-Eyed Golden Lion saw the girl, the panic in its eyes started to fade away. It felt much safer now. It moved closer to her and affectionately nudged her. The lion called her Elder Sister Master. The silver-haired girl did not say a word at first.
She simply raised her hand a little bit and gently stroked the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Her movements were very soft and kind, but her face remained very calm and serious.
Di Tian did not move from his bowing position. He felt a lot of respect for her, but he also had many questions. He told her that the luck of the Auspicious Beast had been taken away by the will of the plane. He also noted that she had awakened at the same time.
He asked her what exactly was happening in the world. The girl paused for a second while she was petting the large golden cat. A small flicker of emotion crossed her purple eyes. She raised her head and looked toward the far distance. It seemed as if her gaze could pierce through space itself. She was looking in the direction of the Sun Moon Empire.
She spoke in a flat and clear voice. She told them that more than a year ago, there was already a big change involving the division of luck. She explained that she had actually awakened during that time. However, she said the focus of that event was mostly on the human world.
The plane will was just moving luck around among the humans back then, so she did not pay much attention to it. But this time, things were different. She said the scope of the luck division was much larger now. It was directly taking the share of luck that belonged to the Spirit Beast race.
She stated that she could not just sit and watch this happen. The large golden cat stopped moving for a moment. It seemed to sense something strange. The lion said that the stripping of its luck had finally stopped. However, it complained that it only had about half of its original luck left.
The vertical eye on its forehead began to glow with a weird light. It looked in the same direction as the silver-haired girl. The lion said it could feel where the lost luck was going. It pointed toward the same distant place.
Gu Yue Na stayed silent for a while. She understood what was happening in her heart. She realized that the plane will was taking a huge risk. It was taking luck from the original human Child of Destiny and the Spirit Beasts.
It wanted to put all that power into a new Child of Destiny who had even more potential. She wondered if this was really necessary. This was a division of luck, and it was not like pouring water from one cup to another.
You couldn't just put it back if you didn't like the result. Every time the luck was divided like this, the plane will would become weaker for a time. If someone attacked during this period, it would be a total disaster. A thought came to the silver-haired girl's mind.
She thought that perhaps the new Child of Destiny was so talented that the plane will decided to give him everything. The plane will seemed to love this person very much.
The silver-haired girl did not speak out loud, but she felt very curious. She looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that was rubbing against her hand. Her purple eyes showed some emotion, but she quickly hid it. After a long silence, she spoke to her subordinate.
She told Di Tian that if she was not around, he would have to manage the Star Dou Great Forest by himself. Di Tian raised his head quickly. His eyes were wide with shock. He asked her what she meant.
The girl looked at him with an indifferent gaze and then looked back at the sky. She told him that she wasn't leaving right now. It was just a thought that had come to her mind. The light in her eyes flickered as she felt even more curious about the person who could make the plane will take such a big gamble.
While the Dragon King lady was thinking about this, the person she was thinking about was busy elsewhere. In the Sun Moon Empire, inside a secret room in the Capital City Hall of Worship, Kong Mingan was looking at his gains. He listened to the two old men talking to each other. Kong Deming was talking to Electrolux.
Mr. Kong thanked Electrolux for taking care of Mingan. Electrolux told him that he was being too kind. He said that if it wasn't for Mingan, he might have died a long time ago. Kong Deming insisted that Electrolux was being too modest. He said that without his help, both he and Mingan would have faced a tragic end.
Electrolux just shook his head and said it was his duty. Kong Mingan watched them and felt a bit helpless. He laughed a little to himself as he watched the two super old men praise each other. He decided not to interrupt their conversation.
He started to think about what he had gained from the recent assassination attempt. The first and most obvious prizes were the two Divine Beasts. Even though Da Ming and Er Ming did not seem super strong in the fight, their bodies were very special. Their blood, bones, and muscles were amazing materials for research.
They were much better than any ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast. He thought these materials might even have secrets about the Divine Rank. This would be very helpful for his systems of cultivation. Most importantly, these resources were renewable. This was way better than having a farm for Soft Bones Rabbits.
There was also another big benefit. He now had the protection of the God of Destruction. He felt that a promise from the God of Destruction was much better than a promise from a certain noble God King.
He knew that the threat from that God King was now much smaller. With the God of Destruction watching, that God King wouldn't dare to use any dirty tricks.
This gave Kong Mingan time to grow stronger. Since the biggest threat was gone, he could be more relaxed. He thought about targeting the Clear Sky Sect. They had lost their first and second sect masters, so it was a good time to act.
He didn't mind being a little petty. He believed that if someone did him wrong, he had to pay them back. He was also interested in the plans for Shrek Academy. He really wanted to find the golden ancient tree that was related to Tang San's mother.
As he was thinking, he looked up at his grandfather. Kong Deming was still talking to Electrolux about cultivation. Kong Mingan asked his grandpa if he could join the next All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Dueling Competition.
He wanted to be a part of the team for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Kong Deming stopped talking and looked surprised. He asked his grandson why he suddenly wanted to compete in a tournament. He was worried because Mingan had just been attacked.
He didn't understand why his grandson wanted to do this now. Kong Mingan smiled and said he heard that their academy was always in second place. He said he wanted to see if he could break that curse and just relax a bit.
Kong Deming didn't really believe that his grandson just wanted to relax. He looked at him for a moment but finally nodded his head. He said he would arrange everything. Then he asked about who would protect him during the trip. Kong Mingan told him to let Elder Ye follow him.
He said if even Elder Ye couldn't stop an enemy, he would just call for help from a god. He showed the mark of the Destruction God Trial on his palm. He seemed very relaxed about the whole thing. Kong Deming sighed because he couldn't do anything else.
He remembered the last words he heard from the divinity. The god had said that if Mingan didn't become a god within thirty years, he would have to take over the god position. Since a god had said those words, Kong Deming felt it was better to worry about other people instead of his own grandson.
