First encounter with the unknown

Unknown space.

Without any concealment, the Ruler of Destiny told Su Bai all of his thoughts and conjectures without reservation.

After hearing his analysis, a huge wave surged in Su Bai's heart.

He had never thought that his destiny could be so complicated.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Then he asked:

"Senior, in your opinion... if my destiny was really altered by someone, then who could that person be? Why would That One do such a thing?"

The Ruler of Destiny was silent for a moment.

A profound light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said:

"There are many, many existences capable of altering destiny... but... for an existence to be beyond my own conjecture... his strength must be far superior to mine."

"And in my opinion... within the Universe space you are currently in, the existences capable of achieving this are few and far between! And among them, the most likely is that mysterious God of Creation!"

"Hmm? God of Creation? You mean... Xia Xue?"

Su Bai frowned, feeling very puzzled.

He recalled all the interactions between himself and Xia Xue, especially... that possession incident, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

Could it be... that she was truly manipulating his destiny in the dark?

Although it seemed illogical, it was highly possible!

Thinking carefully... his Student Xia Xue, and the things she said.

Combined with the few appearances of the Creation Mother Goddess "Xia Xue."

Even a fool would know—

The Creation Mother Goddess "Xia Xue" was definitely secretly paying attention to him!

It's just... why would she, a God of Creation... come to pay attention to him?!

Was she just bored and had nothing to do?!

"Xia Xue?" The Ruler of Destiny was slightly stunned, a little puzzled.

He didn't know—

That the true name of the God of Creation was actually Xia Xue!

But he saw Su Bai's doubts, so he continued:

"However, this is merely my conjecture. After all, existences capable of altering destiny possess extremely profound methods, and even I cannot fully see through them. But one thing is certain, your destiny has deviated from its original trajectory, and its future direction will be full of unknowns."

"In other words... your destiny has jumped out of the river of destiny."

Su Bai nodded, saying nothing.

He felt—

If it really was Xia Xue who changed his destiny... it should, probably, possibly, not matter, right?

Somehow, he subconsciously felt... that Xia Xue was more reliable than this Ruler of Destiny in front of him.

So he felt that she shouldn't harm him.

After all... haha!

Changing destiny?!

If his destiny hadn't been changed... he would have already died!

For a dead person to have his destiny changed and Rebirth... this was a great blessing!!!

Just then, the Ruler of Destiny suddenly suggested:

"However... child (za)..."

"Are you willing... to give me a trace of your Soul power?!"

"If I have this trace of Soul power to assist..."

"The prediction results might be different!"

"I promise, I will do my best to make a prediction for you!"

"Consider it... repayment for your kindness in saving me!"

After speaking, he suddenly floated into the air.

He didn't speak, just quietly looked at Su Bai.

Waiting for him to make a decision.

Su Bai's heart trembled slightly upon hearing the Ruler of Destiny's suggestion.

Soul power!

He wasn't stupid, and he knew very well that for any Cultivator, Soul power was an extremely important existence; it was not only one of the sources of power but also the core of life for any living being.

If one easily handed over Soul power... a slight carelessness could lead to being controlled by others, or even falling into a state of eternal damnation!

However,

Su Bai also knew that the Ruler of Destiny in front of him was no ordinary person.

He seemed very ordinary, but in reality—

He was the previous generation's master of destiny in this Universe (conjecture)!

Based on the information currently understood, it can be inferred—

In this Universe, his strength was second only to "Xia Xue."

Possessing power and wisdom beyond common sense.

So the other party should have no reason to harm him.

Moreover, even if the other party wanted to harm him, he wasn't afraid!

Because—

Su Bai had the jade disc of creation (pseudo)!!!

So, no matter what, he absolutely couldn't die!

So there was no reason to be afraid at all.

But if he could get his help... perhaps he could uncover the mystery behind his destiny in advance!

Su Bai was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said:

"Okay! I am willing... to give you a trace of my Soul power."

The Ruler of Destiny smiled slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

Then he slowly raised his right hand, and a silver light emanated from his palm, as if it could penetrate all illusions and reach the depths of the Soul.

"Relax your mind, do not resist."

At the same time, the Ruler of Destiny's voice sounded in Su Bai's ear, as if carrying some kind of magic, causing Su Bai to unconsciously relax.

Su Bai closed his eyes, allowing the silver light to envelop him.

A moment later, he felt a warm power being gently drawn from the depths of his Soul; that power, like a wisp of light smoke, slowly floated towards the Ruler of Destiny's palm.

Clearly—this thing was Soul power!!!

The Ruler of Destiny took this trace of Soul power, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of vital blood, muttering incantations:

"Heaven and Earth are boundless, %@$¥$@%!"

"Power of Destiny, %@$¥$@%!"

"The Universe twists, %@$¥$@%!"

"Space and time intertwine, %@$¥$@%!"

"Karma Reincarnation, %@$¥$@%!"

"Power of Destiny, %@$¥$@%!"

"By my command, appear!!!!!!!"

As the incantation was recited, the Ruler of Destiny's body suddenly erupted with a powerful energy fluctuation, stirring up layers of white smoke ripples.

At the same time, the surrounding silver mist surged wildly, pulled by an invisible force, quickly condensing into a huge vortex.

Beside him, Su Bai suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression.

Gradually, it was as if the entire space began to tremble!

Su Bai subconsciously opened his eyes and saw the Ruler of Destiny's figure already suspended in mid-air, hands forming seals, countless silver runes swirling around his body, each rune emanating a heart-palpitating power.

"Ultimate Divine Ability of Destiny—[Destiny Retrospection]!"

The Ruler of Destiny let out a low cry, pushing his hands forward abruptly, and the huge silver vortex instantly erupted with a dazzling light.

Immediately after, Su Bai was shocked to discover that an extremely terrifying and bizarre scene suddenly appeared before him and the Ruler of Destiny's eyes... In the scene.

Here, it was an unknown space, visibly, Spiritual Qi was extremely rich, even to the point where it could materialize!

Purple misty Spiritual Qi floated in the air, as if every wisp of mist contained infinite power, and somewhere in this space, a monstrously huge creature stood there.

Its skin was dark red, as if composed of countless pieces of hard rock, and its head had countless eyes, each eye emitting a cold light, as if capable of piercing through everything.

And opposite that monster, was actually... a blurry humanoid light figure!!!

Although this light figure was humanoid, it gave Su Bai the feeling that it was not human.

Because... he... had no face.

Moreover, behind his head, hung a golden disc.

Its appearance was extremely similar to... the Karma halo... from movies and novels.
