32: Chapter 32 'The Chosen Ones' Assemble at the Temple of Destiny!

"Where is this? Wasn't I just looking at some unscrupulous ad?"

When Li Shaoheng opened his eyes again, he found himself inside a resplendent palace hall!

The decorations inside the palace seemed to be a Fusion of Chinese, Western European, and Gothic styles, looking elegant and solemn without feeling the least bit jarring or out of place.

"Right, after I filled in my information, I seem to have been pulled here by a beam of misty light flowing out from the webpage?"

As Li Shaoheng looked around this vast palace with confusion and curiosity, several fluctuations suddenly appeared beside him.

He turned his head and realized these people seemed just like him, all looking bewildered, not knowing where they were.

"My name is 'Chang Chen'. Little brother, you arrived early; did you get any important information?"

A man dressed as a delivery driver with a scruffy beard looked at Li Shaoheng and asked suspiciously.

Li Shaoheng glanced at Chang Chen and shook his head, saying, "I just arrived too; I don't know anything."

Chang Chen frowned deeply, a flash of anxiety appearing in his eyes.

He had been delivering food just moments ago, and while waiting for a red light, he had boredly scrolled through his phone. After seeing that ad, he filled it out just for fun, and then suddenly ended up here.

"The delivery is going to be late. I wonder if they'll complain about me..."

Chang Chen was twenty-nine years old, from the countryside, and a graduate of an ordinary college.

Today was supposed to be his weekly day off, but since his wife gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy last month, he had to work all year round to pay for the baby's formula and the mortgage on their home in the small county, even taking on part-time delivery jobs on his days off.

He didn't earn much running deliveries all day anyway, and if he were late, all his hard work today would be for nothing...

"Sigh, when will this miserable life ever end..."

Chang Chen sighed and sat directly on the floor, not even in the mood to look at this massive palace.

"Haha, this young master is truly a favored child of heaven!"

"Have I, this young master, successfully achieved Transmigration to another world?!"

As dozens of ripples appeared in the palace again, a young, crisp voice suddenly rang out from among the figures.

Everyone looked back and discovered it was a luxuriously dressed brat shouting there in a very chuunibyou manner.

"Little brat, how did you get in here?"

A middle-aged woman with a pretty face and a slender figure looked down at the brat beside her and asked.

The brat put his little hands behind his back and said quite proudly:

"This young master has vast wealth, owning countless mansions and luxury cars; is it impossible for me to have my own mobile phone?!"

The middle-aged woman was amused and asked, "What is your name?"

"This young master does not change his name when standing or sitting, I am Zhao Erbao!"

"Zhao Erbao? A good name... Pfft!"

Seeing the brat's adorable appearance, the middle-aged woman couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.

The middle-aged woman's name was Chairman Song Rui, and she was the general manager of a listed company in Shanghai.

She had been using her company-issued phone when an ad popped up, which shocked and puzzled her; she thought a hacker had breached the company's intranet.

After curiously clicking on it, she was attracted by the "Race War" background image on the webpage, and after filling out the information, she inexplicably arrived inside this massive palace.

"What? Do you have a problem with this young master?"

Hearing Chairman Song Rui's laughter, Zhao Erbao looked up with an unhappy little face.

"No, no, how could I possibly have a problem with a little brat?"

"Hmph, a real man doesn't fight with women!"

"My mom said that pretty women love to lie!"

Zhao Erbao pouted, not wanting to pay any more attention to this bad woman, Chairman Song Rui.

In a corner of the palace.

Han Qi was the most desperate person!

He was 47 years old, wearing a yellow hard hat and tattered clothes covered in cement dust, lying motionless on the palace floor with a dazed expression.

A moment ago, Han Qi had been operating a tower crane at a construction site.

Seeing that the floor slab below wasn't set yet, he had stepped out of the high tower crane control room and sat on the unsealed scaffolding walkway with his legs dangling, leisurely smoking a cigarette.

Naturally, he couldn't resist taking out his phone to scroll through it.

As someone long addicted to Xianxia themes, he was instantly attracted by the ad copy and, without thinking, quickly filled in the information.

Now that he had arrived here through Transmigration, if he went back, would he find that he had already fallen from the scaffolding, and then... been smashed into a bloody, unrecognizable pulp?

"Oh, Jade Emperor! I beg you, please don't send me back!"

"I don't want to see the scene of my own tragic death!"

Han Qi wailed, tears streaming down his face, leaving everyone around him stunned.

...

"Interesting... This is not a dream. Everyone who has come here is a real person from the real world!"

Li Shaoheng took in everything around him.

There were already two or three hundred people in this palace, men and women, old and young.

Some had gloomy and ruthless expressions, clearly tough characters in the real world, while others were elites in formal attire, presumably holding significant positions in reality.

Li Shaoheng didn't wait long; as the last thirty or forty people arrived, an indifferent and ruthless voice echoed throughout the spacious palace:

[Welcome, 'Destined Ones', to the Era of Transcendence]

[This is the 'Temple of Destiny', your starting point for stepping into the Origin Continent]

[Each person has only one opportunity per day to use Transmigration from the real world to the Temple of Destiny]

[Your Souls have all completed deep binding]

[To enter the Temple of Destiny and the Origin Continent, simply recite it in your heart]

[All your questions can be queried via your personal information panel]

[This place is full of endless opportunities and heaven-defying encounters; cherish it well]

[Finally, I wish you a pleasant journey of transcendence~]

...

When the echoing, indifferent voice disappeared.

Li Shaoheng discovered a crystal panel that only he could see appearing before his eyes:

[Destined One: Li Shaoheng]

[Destiny Number: 004]

[destiny coin: 0]

[Race: Undefined]

[Strength: 9]

[Agility: 8]

[Physique: 9]

[Spirit: 7]

[Comprehensive Life Rating: F-]

"What is a destiny coin?"

As soon as the question arose in Li Shaoheng's mind, the corresponding information appeared on the crystal panel.

[destiny coin: The exclusive currency of the Temple of Destiny, which can be used in the Temple of Destiny and can also be brought back to the real world; it can evolve all mundane items. Making contributions beneficial to the world on the Origin Continent will earn a corresponding amount of destiny coins. Settlement time is after each time the host dies.]

"Good heavens! Am I seeing this right?!"

"destiny coins can not only be brought back to reality, but can also evolve all mundane items??"

After his initial surprise, thoughts flashed through Li Shaoheng's mind in an instant.

"Does this mean that as long as I have enough destiny coins, I can evolve mountains of gold and silver?"

"If that's the case, why bother with senior year of high school!"

"As long as I earn enough destiny coins here, I won't have to worry about money or wealth for the rest of my life!"
