213: Chapter 211: Swallowing the Rebate System, Destiny Revealed

Gu Shengge was refining the System's Origin in the independent space. The Creation Jade Plate vibrated, and all of the System's resistance collapsed under the impact of the primordial Dao.

The moment the System was refined, energy surged from the Creation Jade Plate and merged into Gu Shengge's body.

Inside his body, energy surged, and the energies of Karma, Reincarnation, and amplification appeared. The character "Life" that had been condensed from refining the System earlier flickered, and after the influx of abundant energy, the latter half gradually revealed itself to be the character "Fortune."

"Destiny" appeared, and Reincarnation and Karma seemed to be materialized at this moment.

At this moment, Gu Shengge had a feeling that with his double pupils, he could see through a person's past and future with a single glance. This was called Destiny, the sum of Reincarnation and Karma, and a more practical application.

At the same time, he gained the ability to perceive the trajectories of others' destinies. After controlling Destiny, he could interfere with a person's past and future, but interfering with major events would still result in backlash.

Furthermore, he could not perceive the entire lives of some extremely close people around him, mainly because their Karma was too deeply intertwined with his own. His own destiny's direction remained unknown and uncertain, and those deeply involved were naturally covered by complex Karma.

However, if it was just to change the destiny of someone not deeply involved, this ability would be remarkably effective.

He only needed to provide hints at some turning points in their destiny, and the other party would be able to pass through safely, without excessive interference.

Besides that, the power of Destiny could also bestow luck and responsibility upon specific people or things, allowing them to proceed smoothly and without worries on the path of destiny.

Gu Shengge contemplated for a moment and had already appeared outside the spatial barrier. The sky and earth were clear, and the evil aura had dissipated.

Gu Shengge landed next to the camp below. Nie Ling was adding firewood to a bonfire. Seeing Gu Shengge, she excitedly shouted, "Young Master Gu! You're back!"

In her excitement, she also shouted to Jun Mengqing inside the tent, "Saintess, Young Master Gu is back!"

Upon hearing this, Jun Mengqing quickly rushed out of the tent. Seeing Gu Shengge safe and sound, a look of joy appeared on her face.

"That's great, you really are fine, you're fine!"

Her eyes were slightly red, and tears shimmered in her foxy eyes. The System, to her, was an unknown existence after all, and she could not comprehend its dangers.

The moment Gu Shengge disappeared, she could only pretend to be calm. During this time, she was the most anxious.

In Gu Shengge's eyes, the power of Destiny revolved, probing her past and future.

Her past was exactly as he had seen during soul-searching; she had not hidden anything from him. No, there was something, the change in her destiny, the hardships and pain during her initial Cultivation.

Gu Shengge briefly scanned, then moved to the other end, which was her future. Golden threads seemed to extend infinitely, but he could not glimpse any fragments within.

This made Gu Shengge feel disdain for the ability of Destiny; it was too useless. However, thinking that it might be because Jun Mengqing was too deeply involved with him, he felt relieved.

His gaze fell upon Nie Ling. This person was merely a casual acquaintance. He should be able to see clearly, right?

The power of Destiny revolved in Gu Shengge's eyes, and Nie Ling's destiny trajectory appeared before him, including a crossroads.

At that end, there was a glimpse of destiny's revelation: when she met Lin Chen, she chose to leave with him, and then her destiny was to be slaughtered by the resentful monsters. She died in this city.

However, due to his appearance, her destiny trajectory had a new extension, just like now.

Following that was her future: after returning to the Heaven-Severing Sect, she went into seclusion to Cultivate, went into seclusion to Cultivate...

The more Gu Shengge looked, the deeper his frown became, until he saw her in her old age, still alone.

No, this sister wouldn't have developed a resistance to men because of Saint Lin Chen, would she? To live her entire life in solitude?

The more Gu Shengge looked, the stranger he found it, until the very last moment of her life, when she left her final mark on a scroll.

Gu Shengge's gaze fell upon it. It was a bit blurry at first, but as he continuously urged the power of Destiny to probe, he finally saw clearly: it depicted his own face. The image of himself in the painting was young, in his prime, and as handsome as a jade tree.

This seemed to be how he looked in her memory...

Gu Shengge suddenly realized. She wasn't heartbroken over Lin Chen; it was because of him! This realization made Gu Shengge suddenly feel a bit guilty, that he could make someone fall so deeply in love so easily.

But some things are uncontrollable, like charm. He couldn't control whether others liked him, could he?

Gu Shengge's eyes flickered as he looked at the woman in front of him: "Remember to find a Dao Companion in the future and be good to yourself."

Gu Shengge withdrew his gaze. The spatial tunnel ahead had already opened.

"The calamity of the Corpse Demons in the Qiongsang Domain has not yet been quelled. It's time for us to go back. Should we return to the Heaven-Severing Sect first to explain about Lin Chen?"

Lin Chen was, after all, the Saint of the Heaven-Severing Sect. Now that he was dead, Jun Mengqing would probably face considerable trouble.

Since he had promised to help her deal with it, he would handle the Heaven-Severing Sect as well.

Jun Mengqing's eyes narrowed: "That's not necessary. The old geezers are all in the Qiongsang Domain. I'll just go and say something. The worst that can happen is they take away my Saintess position."

"In that case, let's head back to the Qiongsang Domain first!" Gu Shengge made his decision.

Nie Ling and the other two Disciples would also bid farewell to Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing here. The three of them left first, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Gu Shengge, on the other hand, took Jun Mengqing to the Minor Thousand Worlds where He Qiang was. He Qiang's life had been difficult, and only after meeting him did he receive the favor of destiny. After passing through the Ascension channel last time, he remained in that Minor Thousand Worlds. It was time to conclude a matter of Karma.

The two descended into the Minor Thousand Worlds again and arrived at Beiliang City. Beiliang City had completely changed now, with a government in place. It was no longer in the previous state of wild growth. The lives of the common people were still difficult, but at least they were no longer living hand-to-mouth, unable to survive even with all their effort.

He Qiang lived in seclusion in his dilapidated small courtyard. He had grown a bit older now, but was still just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth. To suddenly gain such powerful strength and not act recklessly, but instead settle down in seclusion to Cultivate, was truly rare.

Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing walked into the small courtyard again, only to see He Qiang, reeking of alcohol, lying on the ground, dead drunk.

"He Gou Sheng!" Gu Shengge called out.

On the ground, the disheveled youth cursed, "What do you want, old man! Didn't I say I'm not taking jobs fighting with the kids from the next street anymore!"

Gu Shengge laughed in exasperation, kicked out, and directly sent He Qiang flying, smashing through the courtyard wall and burying him under the bricks and stones.
