778: Yang Dian: I want to fish, and I also want fish

Yang Dian did not kill Yu Tian randomly.

He had two reasons for killing Yu Tian.

Firstly, he had some grudges against Yu Tian. It was fine when Yu Tian was weak, but if he obtained some Opportunity and became stronger, he might do something that would upset him.

Therefore, suppressing Yu Tian was important.

Yes, just suppressing, to slow down Yu Tian's development speed.

Yu Tian was cautious enough that unless one could curse him along his destiny and kill all his Clones in an instant, it was really not easy to completely kill him.

As for the second reason, it was naturally to test the 'Destiny'.

As expected, after killing Yu Tian, the 'Destiny' indeed gave him positive feedback.

"Killing one Yu Tian can grant 80,000 Destiny Points and increase base destiny by 50 points."

"What if I slaughtered Licuan County?"

"What if I slaughtered the Xijiang Dao where Licuan County is located?"

"Or even blew up the entire Nanjiang Kingdom, or perhaps blew up the entire Wuliang Mountain?"

"How many Destiny Points would I get, how much would my base destiny increase, and how many benefits would I gain?"

To be honest, for a moment, Yang Dian had the urge to immediately unleash all his strength and blow up Wuliang Mountain.

But after thinking carefully, he suppressed this impulse.

Perhaps this was what the destiny book wanted him to do?

Whether it was blowing up Wuliang Mountain, blowing up other small realms, or heading to the place where the meteor fell to obtain things that the Dimension Butterfly felt were treasures, it was all 'acquiring' from the Destiny Realm.

'Does the destiny book want to deepen my connection with the Destiny Realm through this method?'

In a flash of thought, Yang Dian looked towards the direction where the meteor fell.

'Should I go get it?'

After a moment of thought, Yang Dian let out a long sigh.

"I have already obtained quite a few benefits; if there was to be a connection, it would have been established already."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Just as he made up his mind, Yang Dian's eyes glazed over for a moment.

Two images suddenly appeared in his mind.

In one image, he rushed alone into a dark abyss and carried out a person covered in chains from the abyss.

In the other image, he stood in a brilliant starry sky.

Behind him, countless warships and Cultivators were lined up in formation.

In front of him was a terrifying swarm of insects covering the entire Universe, stretching to the end of the world.

"So you want to tell me that you are nurturing me because you want me to save the Child of Destiny and help you defend against the enemies that the Destiny Realm will encounter in the future?"

The destiny book remained silent, but the meteor falling from the sky took a turn and flew directly in front of Yang Dian.

After examining the crystal ball floating in front of him, which seemed to contain a starry sea, Yang Dian turned his gaze to the Dimension Butterfly that had impatiently flown out from between his eyebrows, constantly emitting feelings of urgency and flying around the crystal ball circle after circle:

"Fine."

"The Child of Destiny is trapped in the Eternal Star Abyss by the Beast Race. When I am strong enough to break into the Eternal Star Abyss alone, I will save him."

"As for that overwhelming swarm of insects."

"As long as it is within my power, I don't mind taking action."

As his voice fell, the Dimension Butterfly, having received Yang Dian's permission, lunged straight at the crystal ball.

Then, space and time began to twist strangely.

Although the crystal ball was the size of a basketball, as the Dimension Butterfly approached, its volume began to change.

When looking directly at the crystal ball, it was still the size of a basketball.

But when looking at the Dimension Butterfly, its size began to shrink until it was the size of a marble, held by the Dimension Butterfly in its two walking legs.

In this strange space-time change, the thumb-sized Dimension Butterfly, holding the basketball-sized starry crystal, drilled back into Yang Dian's forehead.

"Space is truly weird."

As the exclamation faded, along with the joyful emotions rising from the Dimension Butterfly, Yang Dian's pupils suddenly constricted.

'After swallowing this thing, it can evolve?'

Yang Dian couldn't imagine what the Dimension Butterfly could evolve into.

'Ascend in dimension, or something else?'

Just as the excitement arose, the Dimension Butterfly poured cold water on Yang Dian.

"To fully digest this starry crystal, the time unit must be calculated in millions of years?"

"To speed up the digestion, it must constantly devour star core fragments?"

Yang Dian, having received the feedback from the Dimension Butterfly, took out the secondary volume of the destiny book:

"Um..."

"You have swallowed so many worlds, you shouldn't be short of star core fragments, right?"

"I don't need complete star cores, just give me a few million star core fragments."

"I need star core fragments from different planets."

The secondary volume of the destiny book remained silent, just flipped a few pages to the exchange page.

"One star core fragment, 10,000 Destiny?"

"I only got 8,000 Destiny for killing Yu Tian, and rallying over a billion fellow countrymen to cause trouble in the Destiny Realm only contributed over 11,500 Destiny to me."

"Charging 10,000 Destiny for one star core fragment, isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"Also, didn't you ask me to save the Child of Destiny and protect the Destiny Realm?"

"With my strength so low, how can I save the Child of Destiny and protect the Destiny Realm?"

"Shouldn't you give me some resources first to improve my strength?"

"It doesn't need to be much, I don't dare to hope for Tier 8, just supporting me to Tier 7 is enough."

The destiny book remained silent.

It just flipped the secondary volume back to the first page and highlighted the words [Script ①: Follow One's Heart].

Yang Dian understood the hint from the destiny book.

"You mean you cannot violate the script and actively give me benefits?"

"Sending one starry sea crystal ball is already the limit of what you can do?"

"If I want more resources, I can only rely on myself?"

The destiny book did not speak, but Yang Dian felt his thoughts were likely correct.

After all, the destiny book didn't turn the page.

However, Yang Dian was not very satisfied with this approach by the destiny book.

After all, this kind of benefit was only temporary.

After he saved the Child of Destiny and helped the Destiny Realm resist the insect swarm, would the Destiny Realm stop giving him benefits?

So he wanted more.

"The resources of the Destiny Realm are also limited; if they are all used on me, others will have less."

"When the insect swarm invades in the future, I alone cannot protect the Destiny Realm."

"So..."

"Destiny should be a kind of power, right? A power that can be absorbed and refined by Cultivators and used as cultivation resources."

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

"Why don't you teach me how to scavenge destiny, so I can develop other worlds in the Universe and scavenge destiny from other worlds?"

"Finally, give me something practical."

Yang Dian glanced at the base destiny that hadn't increased and smiled:

"That starry sea crystal should be an incredible treasure, right?"

"I accepted it, how could it not add to my destiny?"
