Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1192 The Will of the Heavenly Palace
With a puzzled expression, Bai Qinghan pondered: "The awakening of divine destiny mostly begins with two stars, and then gradually awakens to the limit of the number of stars in divine destiny itself. It seems that the same is true for heavenly destiny, but there are also records of awakening to seven stars in one go."

"In this timeline, I awakened to the Seven Stars in one go, while in reality, my senior brother is only at the Two Stars?"

Bai Qinghan never underestimated herself. She knew very well that her talent was absolutely top-notch in the world. Pure Yang Heavenly Lord was just the foundation, and Ling Xiao was also easy for her.

However, compared to An Jing, Bai Qinghan's usually calm mind would be stirred up and he would chuckle as soon as he started to think about comparing himself to An Jing.

Who can compare to Anjing?
Especially in the area of ​​the Seven Fiends Tribulation, Bai Qinghan was absolutely certain that his talent in this area was far inferior to An Jing's.

Then... there might only be one possibility.

"Senior Brother... doesn't appear in every timeline?"

"Or perhaps..."

Lowering his eyes, Bai Qinghan couldn't help but recall what An Jing had said: that he was a 'reincarnated person'.

Could it be that what's special isn't An Jing, but rather An Jing who 'awakened his past life memories'?

So, in an infinite number of parallel universes, An Jing's fate is so drastically different?
An Jing stole your destiny.

There was a voice in the darkness, seemingly speaking.

Bai Qinghan paused for a moment.

[You are the chosen one of the Seven Calamities. Huai Xu has long since chosen you. The trials of the Heavenly Will Demonic Sect, your encounters in the Demonic Calamity and the Frost Calamity—everything was to hone and test you—or rather, it is precisely because you survived that the Seven Calamities are destined for you.]

But An Jing's appearance robbed you of your chance...

"That's right."

However, Bai Qinghan did not pay attention to the sudden voice. She was not angry because An Jing might have taken away her Seven Fiends Tribulation, nor was she even curious about the appearance of this voice. She just nodded in realization: "Yes, perhaps that is really the case. Senior Brother was not as angry as I was at first. He was angry because he discovered the truth about the Demonic Sect and found out that the Demonic Sect used losers to make flesh and blood medicine. He stopped compromising."

Perhaps, it was only then that destiny began to shift.

Thinking of this, she smiled slightly: "No wonder Senior Brother only awakened two stars back then. It wasn't that Senior Brother's talent was lacking and he wasn't qualified to be a Seven Fiends Tribulation, but rather that destiny was shifting and hadn't finished shifting yet."

So, are you jealous?

But the voice seemed unwilling to give up; it continued to tempt, saying: "The power, strength, and future that Anjing possesses now are all yours... You will become a great calamity capable of sweeping away everything in the future, making the world fear and dread you. You will take revenge with your own hands, not like this now..."

【emptiness】

Bai Qinghan did not reply. She simply raised her hand and stroked the palace maid who had been frozen into an ice sculpture. The maid's corpse turned into dust, leaving only a sliver of spiritual light, which she absorbed.

Perhaps because Bai Qinghan possessed the qualifications to be one of the Seven Fiends, she also learned a little bit of the "Shadow of the Past Moon" by connecting with herself who had become one of the Seven Fiends, and could read the memories of the soul better than ordinary soul-searching spells.

After reading the memories of the Xuan Tian Palace maid, she nodded thoughtfully and then said softly, "You are... the will of the Imperial Court?"

"What did Senior Brother mention about the Dao Spirit of the Great Chen Saint Ancestor?"

【perhaps】

That voice, the voice of a colossal being, rang out. Bai Qinghan could vaguely sense that it seemed as if the entire Xuantian Palace was speaking to him: "But that's not important..."

"It's really not important."

Bai Qinghan nodded slightly: "In this world, I have my senior brother by my side, most of my friends are still alive, and Ye Qi is also alive. That's enough."

"In the end, let's leave aside the other destiny, but who really wants to take on the Seven Calamities?"

At this point, Bai Qinghan couldn't help but purse his lips, as if he couldn't help but laugh: "Aside from my senior brother, I've never seen anyone with all the relatives and friends in the Seven Fiends Tribulation... Thanks to him, I can occasionally feel what true happiness is."

"As for revenge...aren't I right here now?" With that, Bai Qinghan stepped forward and continued walking deeper into the Xuantian Palace. "I should thank you for lending me a hand and letting me see another kind of painful, desperate possibility, a possibility that I wished to destroy the whole world with."

"That's why I'm even more determined to be grateful for the present."

The voice of the Imperial Court has faded away.

Bai Qinghan continued forward.

She could vaguely see that in another timeline, 'Bai Qinghan' was still moving forward—the Heavenly Will Demonic Sect had blocked all news of the Seven Fiends Tribulation's emergence, and she, who was revered as a saintess, was also rapidly learning and growing within the Heavenly Will Demonic Sect.

At the same time, because there was no peace and the evil spirits did not awaken, the world was rapidly shifting in another direction.

Kanming City and the surrounding Chenli tribes were devoured by the Heavenly Demon, turning into a small starting point of the demonic calamity, which began to spread around Xishan. During this process, Xuanjing Zhenren of Mingjing Sect and the Northern Envoy of Tianyi Demon Sect joined forces to kill a 'Demon of Death' that was about to advance to the level of Manifestation, but they still failed to stop the demonic calamity.

The frost was even more severe. Due to the endless disasters and demonization, the Chenli Hundred Tribes were forced to march south earlier. Meanwhile, the Great Chen mysteriously withdrew all its guardian divine soldiers, only stationing them at a few key nodes. The two sides fought several battles at those nodes, and in the end, the Chenli Hundred Tribes actually won, capturing the local ley lines, including Linjiang City and Broken Blade Mountain.

Several months later, at the foot of Broken Blade Mountain, the source of Frost Calamity, the true form of the Great Heavenly Demon 'Bitter Silence' broke free from its seal. Holding its sword once more, it returned to the heavens under the joint suppression of Yin Gujin and the five sects of Chenli. If it weren't for an incredibly powerful sword aura suddenly piercing through space and time, severing Bitter Silence's spine, it probably could have broken through the encirclement directly.

Even with his spine severed and half his body broken, Kuji managed to break through the encirclement and escape to the Outer Heavens under the protection of several other Great Demons.

Thanks to it, although the intensity of the frost calamity has been greatly reduced, its range has expanded even further, beginning to spread towards half of the Northern Xuan Sacrifice Continent.

Meanwhile, everyone also learned that the source of the sword energy that severed Kuji's spine was none other than the former Heavenly Sword Fuxie. After unleashing that earth-shattering sword energy, Fuxie's fragments shattered once more, transforming into countless sword rays that scattered across the Northern Frontier, inspiring a large number of martial artists with destiny and creating countless rare and precious treasures.

In order to find Fu Xie's whereabouts, gain Fu Xie's approval, and become the Fu Xie Sword Master, the heroes of Huai Xu Ten Continents all came to Chen Li and the Northern Frontier. At the same time, in the far north ice plains, the place where Shuang Jie once slept, a huge demon palace also emerged from the frozen frost.

In an instant, the northern part of Beixuan Sacrifice Continent became the center of heaven and earth.

Bai Qinghan was tempered in this environment; she walked, fought, and experienced much, honing herself in the world...

Unlike Anjing, everything in this timeline is much slower. Without Anjing stirring up the whirlpool, everything has returned to normal.

Bai Qinghan could feel her vision blurring and fading. The power to peer into another timeline was based on her Xuan Yin Star Destiny, also stemmed from the resonance of the Seven Fiends Tribulation power, and was supported by the power of the Xuan Tian Palace Imperial Court.

Now that Xuantian Palace has withdrawn its power, she is unable to see the future.

But, in the very end…

Bai Qinghan vaguely saw another version of himself from another timeline, who encountered someone doing the same thing when he was intercepting and killing a genius from Da Chen in the Northern Frontier Secret Realm.

On the snow, stained crimson with blood, the white-haired girl and the black-haired girl faced off.

"Dark and gloomy..."

Seeing this scene, Bai Qinghan was somewhat surprised, but not unexpected.

Although she was not clear about the details, there was no doubt that You Ruhui's fate had also been drastically changed because of An Jing.

In a world without peace, You Ruhui seems to have embarked on another path. Beside her is a strange creature, neither dragon nor bird. Although its strength is slightly inferior to hers, the two combined pose a threat to her as one of the Seven Fiends.

[So that's how it is... Without Anjing, the 'second generation' Wuzhongsheng would stay by Xuantianji's bloodline.]

At this moment, the voice of Xuantian Palace also carried a sense of realization: "[It began with mystery and will also end with mystery. Is this what Heaven intends...?]"

Bai Qinghan knew very well that not only he had seen the future, but Xuantian Palace had also obtained some information that it should not have known through his power.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Because she had already found the core of the Xuantian Palace.
