805: The Book of Destiny for Investing Everywhere

Yang Dian naturally did not know that Li Xinyao was already prepared to sell out her own grandmother; at this moment, he was trying to dive into the river of destiny.

"Destiny is illusory, yet it is also real."

"Since outsiders can come to Earth through the river of destiny, why shouldn't I be able to go to their world through the river of destiny?"

In his thoughts, a wisp of destiny power transformed into misty Qi and merged into Yang Dian's body, causing his entire body to begin emanating a deep blue glow from the inside out, making him appear somewhat illusory.

"Three minutes."

What three minutes?

Naturally, it meant that this wisp of destiny power would be exhausted after three minutes, allowing Yang Dian to maintain the Destiny Body for only three minutes.

As for what the Destiny Body is?

It refers to the transformation of flesh and blood into destiny energy.

Under such circumstances, not only would the power of destiny be as easy to use as one's own arm, but it would also allow the power of destiny to erupt with even greater strength.

In short, under normal conditions, 1 unit of Soul can control 10 times the intensity of the power of rules.

But if the body is transformed into energy, the controllable power of rules can be increased by another 10 times on this basis, which is to say, reaching 100 times the original amount.

This was one of the gains Yang Dian had made from comprehending the rules during this period.

Besides the Destiny Body, Yang Dian could also transform his own flesh and blood body into other energy bodies through the power of rules.

For example, Flame Body, Storm Body, Thunder Body, and so on.

The benefits obtained after transforming flesh and blood into energy, besides having more powerful control over rules, also include the ability to merge with the rules.

This is one of the prerequisites for entrusting one's true spirit to the world.

Take now, for example.

After transforming his body into destiny, the previously somewhat illusory river of destiny undoubtedly became a bit more real at this moment.

Besides this, the river of destiny was also emitting a seductive aura towards Yang Dian, as if inviting him to sit in the river of destiny, or even to entrust his true spirit into the river.

Unfortunately, Yang Dian would not give up a whole forest for the sake of a single tree.

After entrusting one's true spirit into the river of destiny, or any other river of rules, although one's compatibility with that rule's power would skyrocket, and Cultivating that rule's power would yield twice the result with half the effort.

But this would undoubtedly also cut off the path to Cultivating and comprehending other powers of rules.

If one is covered in the aura of the river of destiny, do they still want to enter other rivers of rules to engage in Dual Cultivation with other rules, or even triple or quadruple cultivation?

Dream on.

No more digressions.

After transforming himself into the Destiny Body, Yang Dian did not hesitate and dove directly into Earth's river of destiny.

Then, scene after scene appeared before Yang Dian's eyes.

Lambs kneeling to suckle, crows feeding their parents, schools of fish migrating back to their birthplace to lay endless fish eggs.

In the forest, poisonous snakes flicked their tongues, lynxes lay in wait for prey; the four words "survival of the fittest" seemed to leap off the page.

Within Huaxia, some were sweating profusely in training grounds, some were searching the wilderness for increasingly rare Spirit Beasts, and others had their Souls enter the territory map, visualizing martial arts imprints and battling phantoms of powerful experts...

Outside Huaxia, due to the appearance of a new crust and the influence of geothermal effects, the temperature of the original surface was gradually rising, and countless foreigners who had survived the Machina disaster were about to become meat buns in a steamer.

If left ignored, the creatures outside would soon face a mass extinction.

'Hmm, if I don't care, it seems someone else does.'

Following a mysterious intuition, Yang Dian looked towards a corner of the river of destiny.

The next moment, a few new scenes appeared in Yang Dian's mind: an old acquaintance, Zeus, had sneaked off to Egypt and was humbly negotiating with Ra, wanting to use Ra's hand to jointly oppose Huaxia.

This was a scene that had already happened in the past.

After being expelled by Ra, he crossed the border barrier again, entered India, and found the Indian mythological deity that Yang Dian had once wanted to find but could never locate—the Trimurti god, Shiva.

He was discussing with Shiva, using the threat of breaking the sky barrier to make Yang Dian allow them to pass through the Alien Planet and head into the deep Universe.

This was a scene happening right now.

Then the images began to blur, becoming frame by frame, somewhat unstable.

Although somewhat unstable, Yang Dian could still confirm that this scene was one of Zeus leading a group of 'gods' in a confrontation against him.

This was a scene that would happen in the future.

"Destiny?"

Muttering to himself, Yang Dian raised his hand and plucked the river of destiny as if he were gently strumming harp strings.

The lamb kneeling to suckle bit its mother, was kicked hard by the mother, and learned what maternal love was.

The crow that had long been unable to find food discovered a large green caterpillar crawling out of a tree hole, so it happily picked up the caterpillar and flew back to the nest to feed the old crow, which was already too old to flap its wings.

In a small bamboo forest with a babbling brook, a child of no more than three or four years old, following behind an adult to dig for bamboo shoots, stumbled, and when they turned their head to look, a corner of a golden stone was revealed beneath the decaying bamboo leaves.

Inside the territory map, Old Daoist Qingfeng, who was challenging the phantom of Yang Dian's dance, suddenly felt a cramp in his calf, and in a moment of distraction, took a punch from Yang Dian, causing his nostrils to spurt blood, and he began to curse and swear...

In that illusory river representing the destiny of all living beings on Earth, Yang Dian, who had personally guided all of this, curled the corner of his mouth.

"Although I previously felt that entering the Destiny Body state could significantly increase my mastery over destiny, I didn't expect it to increase by this much."

"Under normal circumstances, when I manipulate destiny, I can only influence Cultivators in the Early Stage of the Star-Patrolling Realm, and they would still notice something wrong."

"But now, even the old Daoist who has stepped into the Late Stage of the Star-Patrolling Realm cannot feel that his destiny is being manipulated by me."

"And for someone with the strength of the old Daoist, I could manipulate thousands of them with a single thought."

"This increase..."

While sighing with emotion, Yang Dian stopped testing the power of destiny, turned around, and followed the thread connecting Earth's river of destiny and the Destiny Realm's river of destiny, entering the river of destiny of the Destiny Realm.

Then, Yang Dian felt an extremely uncomfortable sense of restriction.

If the destiny of Earth's living beings is free, wild, unfixed, and possesses infinite possibilities.

Then the destiny of the living beings in the Destiny Realm is more like puppets, with someone pulling the strings.

As small as a stone by the roadside, or a blade of wild grass.

As large as those Tier 6 existences in the Destiny Realm, who are capable of destroying a neutron star with a single strike, they also lack complete freedom.

They are tightly bound by a net.

Their actions may seem like their free choices, but aren't they also the guidance of destiny?

Except for...

"Except for those 'players' who descended from Earth."

"Like me, they are also free in the Destiny Realm, not being manipulated."

"At least up until now, that is the case."

In his thoughts, Yang Dian looked around the river of destiny of the Destiny Realm.

Then he discovered that, like the people from Earth, there were many other 'variables' that were not swayed by destiny.

And there were many, many of them; he couldn't count them all at a glance.

"So, I am not the only one that the destiny book has placed a bet on?"

"The destiny book has placed bets on other people as well?"
