LEGEND OF THE DEMON KING.
600. THE FATE OF THE DEMON KING.
TAN WEN HONG listened to every word Yun Xuanji said.
“The fate of people is ingrained in the world. Although choices are innumerable, anything hardly makes the world lose its balance.
My faith is firm in this truth and with the views of my ancestors, I can point out a safer path for people.
But eight years ago, something happened that destroyed my faith.”
TAN WEN HONG furrowed his brows. Seeing Yun Xuanji panting, he muttered, “Great Priest, endure your grief. Who is not disappointed in this world?”
“Ha-ha-ha, you think I'm desperate because everything I know has been reversed?” Yun Xuanji sighed,
“Maybe, but I'm more surprised than anything. I used to think every life was bound to the laws of the world.
The more I look, the more boring the world becomes.
That was why the Yun clan had always lived in tranquility and had never engaged in a game of power.
But that moment opened my eyes, that not everything was set in stone.
Heaven and earth hold us captive while still giving us a way out. All that's left is that we find him..”.
Not understanding the high heavens,
TAN WEN HONG scratched his nose, cursing the old man,
What did the old man suck?
Yun Xuanji laughed in response to his thoughts, “Steward TAN WEN HONG did not look too interested to investigate the mysteries of destiny.
Then I will speak frankly. Eight years ago, you killed You Guiqi in Blue Expanse City.
Your actions defy destiny. His destiny is fraught with danger, but it is not meant to be shortened.”
TAN WEN HONG's heart was choked. Eight years ago was his first turning point in Tianyu,
which made him famous. All the opposing destinies that came after this event surpassed his head.
You mean tell me destiny includes killing? What am I supposed to do? Wait for a lucky day when I want to kill someone because it's not in the stars for him to die early?
It just means this Parish has to change jobs, find the due date of the killer target.
Or no matter what the killer tried before his time, all efforts would be in vain.
Yun Xuanji knew his thoughts even before they were formed, “Everyone's fate is related to the world, like a starry sky.
And each of them touches each other through unseen rules and complicated interactions.
Because everyone has their own desires, they all take different paths in life. But the road to death never even existed for
You Guiqi at that moment. It only appeared twenty years later, in a time of great national unrest.
“News of his death surprised me greatly. I looked up at the sky at once and found the dead still alive.
Along with him, the strand of fate is now entangled and he has escaped the binding bond.
Each of his actions changed the fate of everyone he met.
The strong become weak, and the weak become strong. Like the incarnation of the DEMON KING , he completely turned the world around!”
“Eh, High Priest, you don't mean me when you mention DEMON KING, right?” TAN WEN HONG pointed at his nose, winking his large puppy's eyes.
Yun Xuanji smiled, “What do you think? Ha-ha-ha, you know better than anyone. How many people's fates are suddenly changing and unimaginable in your path?
“Klan TAN, a washed-up third-rate clan undergoes a complete rebirth, as the head of the Eight House Nobles.
If not for you killing You Guiqi, the Xue Blue Expanse City clan would never have served under the Sword Marquise Abode;
their third miss life will go badly. Drifting Flowers Edifices are destined to be the first victims of Regent Estate in their home unification plan,
greatly strengthening their strength, all of them led to a great civil war.
All it takes is one person, you, you,
and the Floating Flower Building bounced back from the brink of death, the Regent Estate plan was thwarted, and it continues. Need I say more?”
“Uhm, all this sounds like a destiny plan to me. Maybe I'm just a Regent Estate enemy,
which can reverse everything!”
TAN WEN HONG stuck out his nose as he spoke with a ruse.
Yun Xuanji nodded with a smile, “Maybe, but my eyes still failed to see any trace of fate around you.
As if you were walking between two worlds, it has long since released the shackles of destiny.”
Heart-strung, TAN WEN HONG might speak loudly but he had already started to trust her inside that soft.
Although he was allergic to this so-called fate nonsense, this old fool really knew about one thing.
He truly walks between two worlds, the living and the dead, because he once died and came back to life.
The Ethereal stage of losing his body could live by having someone else with his soul.
But it wasn't an actual rebirth, because he didn't die in the first place.
While the Demon Emperor TAN WEN HONG had his soul destroyed, annihilated. The servant of the Tan clan, TAN WEN HONG, from a little cultivation, also died.
But through the mysteries of the Nine Silences Secret Note, life is reborn from two strangers who hold one body,
a life that runs on a fine line between the living and the dead but above the laws of this world.
Separated, they died, but together they were at least half alive!
“Steward TAN WEN HONG, I don't know how you do it, but please believe me. Your existence changes everyone's fate as they know it.”
Yun Xuanji paused for an effect, then continued on with a heavier tone, “I intend to hide this matter, you know,
but in exchange for your trust, I'll tell you a secret.
The one you killed, Huangpu Qingtian, had all the qualities and destiny to become a ruler. He had a high chance of becoming the new emperor. ”
“What?!”
TAN WEN HONG could hardly believe his ears.
He had always believed that Huangpu Qingtian's rant about this fate, that fate, was just that, harsh words
Yun Xuanji sighed, “I have seen the fate of Huangpu Qingtian and briefly told me that he has the disposition of an earth dragon, ,
the main candidate to become king on this earth. But fate is a branched path, where there is death, there will always be life, there will be life,
and where there is life, death is also not far behind. At that moment, I was talking about the three tribulations he had to go through in order to achieve his destiny.
“First is heaven. With the king's arrival, the dragon's soul will return.
Huangpu Qingtian earned his recognition in his childhood for a reason. This misery, he passed.”
TAN WEN HONG nodded.
Dragon Vein Soul was a ferocious beast, even a Radiant Stage expert was unable to subdue it.
Yet Huangpu Qingtian, a pipsqueak, did so, complementing each other and training the Earth Dragon Claw.
This must be destiny. There is no other explanation.
“The second tribulation is father and son. Estate Lord Huangpu Tianyuan was a firm and determined person.
If Huangpu Qingtian wanted to do something, he would have to seize power, to steal his father's seat.
This ultimately severed the father and son relationship that could not be repaired anymore. All he had to do was become a savage himself, though,
dumping his clan and stealing his position. This would bring him one step closer to becoming an emperor. ”
Huh, punk is barbaric alright, just look at his rotten attitude .
TAN WEN HONG sneered inside,
It is clear that this misery is a walk in the park compared to the first.
“The last misery, the most important, is sin! Huangpu Qingtian was a tyrant in character and action.
With everyone considered filth, his sins burdened his shoulders.
If he were to conduct soul searching, reassess one's worth, he would be the prime candidate to become the next emperor.
Twenty years later, the Regent Estate will be ready to help him. At the peak of his power, the clash with the imperial family was nothing more than a small battle for him.
And four decades later, he became the ruler of Tianyu and established his own dynasty!”
“Uhm, that seems very unlikely. With the man's obnoxious attitude, the thought of self-reflection would never cross his mind.
Seeing the person right in the eye and not in his nostrils was already a huge improvement.
There was no way he would have gone through the third tribulation. ” TAN WEN HONG refuted his words,
“But now Regent Estate can no longer compete for power and has nothing to do with me anymore!”
Yun Xuanji shook his head, “People are always changing. As I understand it, these past years have been too peaceful. If Huangpu Qingtian was still alive, then,
he might be able to overcome this tribulation. Too bad he found you, a man beyond fate, and his future cut off. Big loss..”
Yun Xuanji sighed, temporarily
TAN WEN HONG scratched his nose, “Big Priest, for you to tell me so much, there must be a reason. Why?”
“For the good of the people!”
Yun Xuanji stood up, bowing deeply at the flabbergasted TAN WEN HONG,
“I have a deep knowledge of destiny and it is an inviolable trait.
Even if forced to change, it would only make a detour. Slowly but surely back on track.
Therefore I was filled with the pain of seeing people suffer but powerless to help them.
Now that I see that Steward TAN WEN HONG has the power to change all that, he said,
I sincerely hope, Steward TAN WEN HONG will minimize the battle, for the sake of people.”.
“Good, I understand!”
TAN WEN HONG waved his hand before continuing, “Large Priest, I consider you a smart man, but now I see that you are quite senile.
One second ago you called me the incarnate DEMON KING, and the next moment you asked the same DEMON KING to save the world?”
Yun Xuanji held back his gaze, “You ‘is’ DEMON KING ..”
“Still!”
“Then later..”.
“Still be!” TAN WEN HONG's tone was firm.
Yun Xuanji sighed, “You have escaped fate, so why insist on walking on the old path?
I don't know who you are, but looking at your past exploits that brought you here, it wasn't at all the act of a stupid kid,
but the actions of a reborn expert. Departing from there, a reborn expert must have faced true death once.
But have you ever taken a moment to consider that this rebirth is ,
and having escaped destiny – is about reinventing yourself?”
TAN WEN HONG shook his head to the toe.
He had not only guessed the origin of TAN WEN HONG but also the heart of this old demon cultivator.
Find back!
In less than ten years, unlike his past life that only focused on cultivating in the Sacred Region, he had met many people, not unlike his past life,
being in touch with all kinds of feelings she never knew existed gave her a new outlook on life.
These were all events he had never experienced before.
Perhaps this life was a heaven way to improve his state of mind through countless events for the next moment he became the Demon KING!
That truth frees him from worry and brings peace. His death as a Demon KING was probably a blessing in disguise.
“What's in it for me?” TAN WEN HONG again showed his trademark evil smile. He might have received Yun Xuanji's proposal, but inside he was still rotten…
