500: Destiny

Just as everyone was intently staring at the battlefield, suddenly, a low and eerie voice echoed from the Destiny River: "Heh heh, you've finally shown yourself!"

As if the entire universe trembled for it, the Destiny River began to churn violently, raising colossal waves.

Amidst this chaos, a blurry, indistinct figure flickered in and out of existence, like a fleeting ghost.

However, none of the people present could perceive his existence; only Lin Ye, who had the deepest understanding of the Destiny Law and the most profound cultivation, vaguely sensed an unusual aura.

As the agitation of the Destiny River grew more intense, the faint sense of abnormality in Lin Ye's heart gradually became clear and discernible. He unhesitatingly unleashed his unique skill—Vision of Destiny.

In an instant, the scene before him underwent a drastic change; a vast and boundless Destiny River appeared before him, its waters surging endlessly, shimmering with mysterious light.

Just as Lin Ye gazed at this Destiny River, a massive black shadow quietly emerged.

It was like a towering mountain, spanning the river, exuding a suffocating pressure.

"What is this?" Lin Ye's heart trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Before he could recover from his shock, the black shadow seemed to have noticed his prying.

A cold snort was heard: "Hmph, to think you discovered me. I never expected that in this era, there would still be someone who could cultivate the Destiny Law to such an extent. If it were in the past, perhaps I would have taken some interest in you. But unfortunately, now... I don't have time to play with you."

Before the words had even fully fallen, the black shadow vanished like a flash of lightning, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared there at all.

"Where exactly did he go?" An inexplicable sense of unease welled up in Lin Ye's heart.

The identity and purpose of this mysterious figure, who appeared from nowhere, were unclear, making it impossible to determine whether he was friend or foe.

However, this unease did not last too long.

In an instant, the entire Battlefield of the Gods seemed to be violently shaken by a giant hand, the earth trembled, and the violent tremors made everyone unable to stand steadily.

"Damn it!" Thunder Unicorn and the other Holy Beasts' expressions suddenly changed drastically.

They clearly felt that the worlds will was urgently summoning them.

However, the interdimensional space technique employed on this Floating Island not only restricted the enemy's freedom of movement but also firmly trapped them.

Faced with such a predicament, how could they easily break free? At this moment, everyone could only wait anxiously, silently praying that the worlds will would be safe and sound.

"Heaven's Mandate..." A low and distant voice slowly echoed. Along with this call, countless ethereal tentacles suddenly surged forth from the Destiny River. These tentacles, like agile snakes, rapidly extended from all directions, tightly coiling around and gathering the both tangible and intangible worlds will.

At the highest point of the Myriad Heavens, a colossal azure vortex quietly emerged. The worlds will was continuously sucked into it, as if pulled by a powerful force, gradually merging into the endless vortex...

"Damn it, we've been used as pawns." Baal's expression was grim.

They had agreed to give the worlds will to them?

They had agreed that the abyss would advance, separate from the Star Realm, and become an independent plane, while the celestial realm would exclusively enjoy the favor of the Star Realm Will and dominate the Star Realm.

Baal was naturally extremely pleased with such a win-win solution.

The abyss will and the celestial realm will had also reached a consensus.

They had initially thought that with the worlds will from above vouching for them, the celestial realm wouldn't cause any trouble, but they never expected the other party to be so ruthless.

They wanted to take everything, not only to dominate the Star Realm, but also to seize the Battlefield of the Gods Will.

Others might not know who that was, but he did.

"Heaven's Mandate, you are truly cunning!" Baal's eyes widened in fury, and he gritted his teeth, directly shouting the mysterious person's name.

However, Heaven's Mandate seemed to pay no heed to Baal's accusations, continuing to go about his business as usual, completely disregarding Baal.

Seeing Heaven's Mandate's utter contempt, Baal's face grew even more terrifyingly grim, as if it could drip water.

Thunder Unicorn, who was nearby, couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is this guy's background?"

At this point, he had already realized that even the demon side seemed to have been schemed against and entrapped.

In this atmosphere of shared animosity, the grievances that had just arisen between him and Baal were temporarily set aside, and saving the worlds will became the top priority.

Hearing Thunder Unicorn's question, the anger in Baal's heart subsided slightly, but his tone was still full of resentment: "This is Heaven's Mandate, a special being nurtured by the Destiny River over countless epochs, one of the masterminds behind the Divine race!"

Because he had been deceived and ignored, Baal no longer had any reservations at this moment and simply revealed all information about Heaven's Mandate in detail.

Since he did not deliberately conceal it, and even intentionally spread the news, everyone present clearly understood Heaven's Mandate's true identity and the secrets hidden behind him.

Heaven's Mandate didn't care much about this.

Mere clowns.

Now, no one could stop him.

Lin Ye's heart stirred.

"Lake, have you ever heard of this Heaven's Mandate?" Lin Ye asked.

"No, there haven't been many strong practitioners of the Destiny path throughout history. Once they appear, they are bound to be widely known. It seems he intentionally hid his information," Lake said gravely.

If a top expert of the Destiny path concealed his information, who could find his traces?

The methods displayed by Heaven's Mandate were simply inconceivable, filling everyone present with an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.

It was as if they were facing an insurmountable mountain; no matter how hard they tried, they could only sigh in despair.

Despite this, some still tried to approach him, wanting to get a share.

However, they soon discovered that the dimension Heaven's Mandate inhabited was completely different from their own, like two entirely separate worlds.

As an extremely special Life form, coupled with his unfathomably profound cultivation realm, Heaven's Mandate actually possessed a unique and miraculous skill—the ability to exist alone in a unique dimension.

This skill was truly heaven-defying!

If there were no corresponding counter-measures, then for others, Heaven's Mandate was practically an invincible existence.

Interestingly, this skill of Heaven's Mandate had a similar effect to Siviya's True Word Skill. However, while their effects were similar, the underlying principles were vastly different.

At this moment, Lin Ye also couldn't suppress his curiosity and began to try to step into the mysterious dimension where Heaven's Mandate was located...

"It seems there might be a way after all."

Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and an excellent idea was born.
