776: Temptation
"The Destiny Realm, with the main world's destiny hanging high in the sky."
"Beneath it are three thousand great realms and infinite small realms, with countless living beings."
"The place I am currently in is called Wuliang Mountain, which belongs to the Qingfeng Realm, one of the three thousand great realms, and is one of the infinite small realms."
"Wuliang Mountain is 30,000 kilometers from east to west and 7,000 kilometers from north to south. It has many high mountains, few plains, lakes but no seas, and a total area of about 52 million square kilometers, where humans and demons live together."
"There are a total of 3.6 billion humans and demons combined. That's not many, but not few either. Let's throw in ten thousand people first to test the waters."
"Besides Wuliang Mountain, the Qingfeng Realm has more than 300,000 affiliated small realms, and the situation in each small realm is roughly the same as Wuliang Mountain."
Yang Dian couldn't help but rub his eyebrows after reading this.
"This is a high-level civilization?"
"Even if only ten thousand people are thrown into each small realm, it would take more than three billion people to fill one small realm under the Qingfeng Realm?"
"The Qingfeng Realm alone has a population of 1.08 quadrillion, and the Qingfeng Realm is only a lower-tier realm among the three thousand great realms..."
"Three thousand is just a vague number, referring to the top three thousand complete planets and worlds beneath the Destiny Realm..."
"But in such a huge world with so many people, only one Child of Destiny at the 7th rank emerged?"
"Did the Child of Destiny 'eat' everyone else, or is it really that hard to Cultivate?"
"I don't feel like it's that hard to Cultivate..."
In the Lichuan County government office, Yang Dian sat in the pavilion, holding the destiny book copy, constantly organizing information about the Destiny Realm.
By the end of his organization, he found that the Destiny Realm was truly absurd.
There are hundreds of thousands of Alien Planets like Wuhou Grotto-heaven that have been completely swallowed.
There are over a hundred billion planetary fragments like Wuliang Mountain that have been incompletely swallowed.
And the quantity is still increasing at an extremely exaggerated speed.
Almost every time Yang Dian blinked, the number of small realms would jump a few times.
'So, since the Destiny Realm is already this powerful, why did the destiny book take the initiative to show goodwill to me, and even proactively give me a destiny book copy?'
After thinking about it without an answer, Yang Dian looked up at the sky.
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it for now.
Get the benefits first.
Walking out of the pavilion, Yang Dian glanced at Yu Tian, who was walking toward the backyard with a pot of wine, seemingly trying to 'cling to an Immortal.' Under his surprised gaze, Yang Dian threw out the destiny book copy in his hand.
The gray book turned into a stream of light and shot toward the firmament.
The cloudy sky opened up, revealing the starry sky behind it.
A blink later, the stars fell like rain.
"This... this..."
Yu Tian pointed at the meteors falling in the sky in horror, feeling at a loss.
Summoning meteors was nothing; he could do it too, and perhaps even make it look more beautiful.
But if he did it, it would undoubtedly be 'out of character,' and he would be liquidated by the 'screenwriter' or 'director'.
The moment he made a move, either thunder would descend from the sky, or time and space would shatter; there was always a way to make his Divine Soul return to nothingness.
But what about Yang Dian?
Why is he completely fine after doing it?
'We both came from outside, but I can only be a crappy county magistrate. To maintain my persona, I wake up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs.'
'Why does he get to?'
In the county office, Yu Tian pointed at the firmament, doubting his life.
A hundred miles away, the three-tailed white fox pulled back the curtain and looked at the meteors falling in the sky, her expression changing drastically:
"Stars fall, visitors from other worlds arrive, and the world changes."
"How is this possible?"
The little fox poked her head out from Hu Li's chest and blinked her eyes:
"Auntie, what does that mean?"
"Meteors are falling from the sky. Shouldn't we go to where the meteors fell to pick up extraterrestrial meteorites?"
"There are often strange objects in meteorites; maybe we can find some treasure."
As she spoke, she pointed to one of the meteors:
"Sigh, why does that meteor turn? It's flying towards us."
"As expected, I am the Child of Destiny."
As she spoke, a blush appeared on her cheeks:
"Auntie, let's go back to Lichuan."
"I miss that young master."
Hu Li's breath hitched.
She remembered Yang Dian's eyes again, which seemed to be looking at her with a hint of a smile.
Until his eyes occupied her entire field of vision and Divine Soul, pressing down on her so hard she couldn't breathe.
This made her subconsciously have a thought:
'The world has changed; it must have something to do with him.'
The little fox's calls woke Hu Li from her trance:
"Say something."
"Let's go back to Lichuan."
Hu Li pressed down on the little fox's head:
"Lichuan? What are we going back to Lichuan for? We're leaving now, leave the Wuliang Mountain area immediately!"
"This place, I don't..."
Before she could finish speaking, the world suddenly lit up.
A meteor fell from the sky, crashing directly into the dense forest to the... right of the carriage.
Hu Li stared fixedly at the place where the meteor disappeared with her peach-blossom eyes.
There was no sound of the meteor hitting the ground, and the ground had not suffered any damage.
It was as if the meteor had never appeared.
In that place, there was only a white-furred rabbit that had crashed into a tree trunk, standing up in a daze and looking around.
"Wow, what a cute little rabbit."
The little fox rolled the rabbit into her arms with her sleeves, cleaned the dirt off the rabbit with a cleansing spell, and then pressed her face against its belly, sniffing it again and again.
"Auntie, I saw the meteor fall on it."
"This little rabbit had already crashed itself to death, but after the meteor fell on it, it came back to life."
"Do you think it's favored by Luck and has obtained destiny?"
Hu Li pointed at the bewildered rabbit in the little fox's arms with a trembling body.
"Throw it away!"
Hu Li was going crazy.
The anomaly she was trying so hard to avoid had been openly taken in by the little fox.
And when she took it, she hadn't even had time to react.
Such an obvious anomaly, yet the little fox hadn't noticed!
"I won't."
The little fox turned around while holding the rabbit:
"I don't know why, but I feel a connection as soon as I see it."
"It's just like seeing that young master."
"It has a destiny with me."
The 'rabbit' held in the little fox's arms inexplicably understood their conversation.
A pair of dazed rabbit eyes gradually became clear, and then became dazed again:
'Huh?'
'Am I not the Child of Luck?'
'How did I become a rabbit?'
While the little fox was holding the rabbit, Yang Dian, who had retrieved the destiny book copy, also received a message.
'Most of the people whose destiny has been extracted have entered.'
'As long as they stay in the Destiny Realm, they can obtain destiny.'
'And as the person who "invited" them in, I can get one percent of all destiny.'
'That is to say, I can get about 11,500 destiny per day, which converts to 1,150 rare treasures.'
'But I can only absorb this part of the destiny when I am in the Destiny Realm.'
'If I am not in the Destiny Realm, this extra portion of destiny will dissipate and return to the world.'
'So...'
'In the end, the destiny book still wants to keep me in the Destiny Realm.'
Thinking of this, Yang Dian decisively communicated with the restored Dimension Butterfly.
He didn't know what the purpose of the destiny book was, so he would tentatively try leaving the Destiny Realm to see what would happen...
