772: Book of Destiny

Destiny is always unpredictable.

What is unpredictability?

It refers to things that are constantly changing.

Or, for example, it gives you a little ‘surprise’ when you least expect it.

Just like the emerald green book in front of Yang Dian.

Looking at the glaring words “Destiny” on the book’s cover, Yang Dian couldn’t help but swallow.

The ‘surprise’ came too suddenly and turned into a fright.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the Divine Artifact of the Destiny Realm, the destiny book, which the person behind the Myriad Heavens Reincarnation Path spoke of?

In an instant, Yang Dian’s thoughts raced.

Ultimately, it turned into a wry smile:

“I was just thinking about it in my head, how did you come out?”

The destiny book remained silent, only flipping its pages automatically.

Yang Dian didn’t know how many pages it had turned, only that after a rustling sound, a ‘script’ appeared in the book.

————

【Protagonist: Yang Dian】

【Identity: Fallen Immortal】

【Script ①: Do as you please

Having fallen to become an immortal, you do as you please, playing in the mortal world, unbound by its rules.】

【Script ②: Save the world

While playing in the mortal world, you form deep friendships with protagonists, supporting characters, and even ordinary passersby from various realms of the Destiny Realm.

Your body is unrestrained, your heart is unburdened, your will is free.

However, your emotions find a place to rest.

Influenced by great love such as friendship, romance, and kinship, you decide to fight for the Destiny Realm when it faces danger...】

————

After reading the two scripts, Yang Dian’s face instantly turned green.

They had already arranged a script for him, so how could he still do as he pleased and be unrestrained?

Before Yang Dian could complain, the destiny book turned another page.

————

【Script Remuneration: 100 Destiny/day

Script remuneration is calculated based on the time the Fallen Immortal resides in the Destiny Realm, and the daily remuneration will be increased or decreased at any time based on the Fallen Immortal's experiences in the Destiny Realm and the degree of consistency with the script.】

【Destiny: Can be used to purchase all tangible and intangible resources within the Destiny Realm, including but not limited to heaven and earth treasures, Origin of rules, various fortuitous encounters...】

————

Yang Dian blinked:

“Heh, is it really ‘do as you please’ then?”

Glancing at the 300 Destiny in the upper left corner of the book, Yang Dian, inspired, turned a page.

The vast starry sky immediately entered Yang Dian’s eyes, and endless information poured into his mind.

【Random heaven and earth treasures blind box, price: 10 Destiny】

【Random heaven and earth treasures blind box, price: 10 Destiny】

【Random fortuitous encounter (fatal danger), price: 1 Destiny】

【Random fortuitous encounter (extreme danger), price: 10 Destiny】

【Random fortuitous encounter (high danger), price: 100 Destiny】

【Random fortuitous encounter (medium danger), price: 1000 Destiny】

【Random fortuitous encounter (low danger), price: 10,000 Destiny】

【Random fortuitous encounter (absolutely safe), price: 100,000 Destiny】

【Time for comprehending the Dao in the Sea of Rules, 10,000 Destiny/minute...】

Note: Fortuitous encounters are events that are extremely helpful to oneself in the current environment... Countless items made Yang Dian dizzy.

From a blade of grass by the roadside to a sex slave with sixth-tier strength, as long as one could afford the Destiny, anything could be bought from the destiny book.

“So...”

Yang Dian stood up and drew a circle with his hand.

“Since my body is unrestrained, my heart is unburdened, and my will is free.”

“And you want me to place my affections on Destiny and fight for Destiny.”

“Then it’s perfectly reasonable for me to invite a few friends to help me jointly develop the Destiny Realm, isn’t it?”

The destiny book turned another page, and then five silver starlights flew out from it, hovering in front of Yang Dian.

“Each silver starlight can invite one person to enter the Destiny Realm as a supporting character?”

It must be said, the destiny book was truly generous.

What kind of treatment did supporting characters receive?

1 Destiny per day, and this was just the initial remuneration for joining the ‘crew’.

Once they performed their own script, their daily remuneration could increase.

If they performed well, there was even a chance to become a protagonist.

That is to say, as long as one entered the Destiny Realm as a supporting character and performed their script well, they could open a heaven and earth treasures blind box in a minimum of 10 days!

After marveling at the generosity of the destiny book, Yang Dian rubbed his nose again.

For an individual, the destiny book was indeed generous.

After all, this was one heaven and earth treasures every 10 days, which was a significant bonus even for second-tier (Star-Patrolling Realm) and third-tier (Star Dome Realm) cultivators.

But for Yang Dian, it wasn’t of much use.

After all, he could accumulate nearly three million energy every day just by relying on his talent; 10 days would be nearly thirty million, thousands of times more than a heaven and earth treasures redeemed by a supporting character.

Furthermore... five supporting character slots, that was too few!

“Um...”

“My ‘few friends’ is a vague term, it doesn’t mean I only have three to five friends.”

“Who doesn’t have thirty to fifty blood relatives in this life?”

“Also, the Destiny Realm is so vast, and there must be many subordinate worlds. In each world, or each city, there will be protagonists.”

“You said I’m a Fallen Immortal with affections to place, so it’s perfectly reasonable for me to care for all living beings, isn’t it?”

“Give me three to five million protagonist stars, let me bring three to five billion supporting character fellow villagers to help the Destiny Realm advance. Isn’t that a grand act of love?”

As he spoke, Yang Dian also extended his right hand, displaying a very serious expression.

The destiny book, floating in front of Yang Dian and emitting a faint emerald green glow, clearly froze for a moment.

It was evident that it, having existed for an unknown number of years, had seen shameless people before.

But it had clearly never seen anyone like Yang Dian, being shameless right in front of it, with an expression that screamed, “I’m a freeloader, and I’m going to freeload off you.”

However... looking at the destiny book, which, after his words, spat out dense gray light spots, occasionally mixed with a silver star, and with a fleeting glimpse of golden light, Yang Dian’s eyes showed a contemplative look.

But before Yang Dian could ponder over it, the endless gray light spots had already gathered in front of him, finally forming a gray-black book with the words “Destiny” inscribed on it.

“A sub-volume of the destiny book?”

“Contains 12.96 trillion passerby destinies, 129,600 supporting character destinies, and 1 protagonist destiny?”

“Why do I get whatever I ask for?”

The destiny book did not answer Yang Dian’s question, nor did it linger in front of him.

Perhaps fearing that Yang Dian would make another outrageous request, after spitting out the sub-volume of the destiny book, it directly disappeared from in front of Yang Dian, leaving only a gray-black sub-volume suspended motionless before him.

As he reached out to touch the sub-volume of the destiny book, a large amount of information flooded into Yang Dian’s mind, and his eyes gradually lit up.

“Observe destiny... weave destiny... feedback destiny...”

“Through the sub-volume of the destiny book, I can observe the destinies of the passersby, supporting characters, and protagonists that I have distributed.”

“I can even weave their destinies, which means setting scripts for them.”

“When they complete their scripts, I can also receive feedback from destiny.”

“As for the amount of destiny feedback, it is one ten-thousandth of the destiny they obtain by completing their scripts and playing their roles.”

“And it’s not drawing from their labor, but rather dropping a stone into the long river of destiny, causing ripples, and extracting destiny energy from the long river.”

“Others will still receive the same amount of destiny points they were supposed to receive.”

“This destiny book...”

“It has a similar effect to the System I wanted to create...”
