In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Grand Palace.

A middle-aged man dressed in a golden dragon robe sat on the throne.

This person was none other than the King of the Great Kingdom!
But just as Yu Xiong cut open that strange stone...

The five-clawed dragon on his dragon robe suddenly soared into the sky and transformed into a golden dragon ten thousand feet long above the palace!

The golden dragon faced the direction of Dayu City, as if it sensed some kind of threat, baring its teeth and roaring to the sky!

"The course of history has changed."

"Someone has defied the will of Heaven and affected the fortune of our Great Court!"

The Ōba Kingdom ruler spoke in a dignified tone, in a low voice.

Where is the Zhenwu Division?

"Chen is here!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

next moment.

The air is distorted.

In the empty palace, two soldiers clad in golden armor suddenly emerged from the shadows.

The two men clasped their hands together and knelt on one knee before the King of Da Ting.

"Let's go to the Great Wilderness!"

"The will of Heaven cannot be defied. If anyone tries to defy the will of Heaven, then we should mobilize a large army and annihilate them!"

The king of the Great Court spoke in a chilling voice, his tone filled with murderous intent that sent shivers down one's spine!

And on the banks of the You River.

An elderly man in a straw raincoat was leisurely fishing at the bow of a boat, holding a purple bamboo fishing rod.

However, upon closer inspection...

You'll then notice that the other end of his fishing line is clearly using a straight hook!

So much so that he fished for half a day without catching a single fish.

"I never expected that even such a divine object would appear in the world."

"The fate of the Great Wilderness has run its course, and it is unknown whether anyone can extend its life once again."

The old man in the straw raincoat shook his head and sighed deeply.

Deep in the wilderness.

Another ragged old blind man sat alone on a rock, leaning on a bamboo cane.

He silently gazed at Dayu City, his expression slightly forlorn, lost in thought.

……

the other side.

Inside the stone gambling market in Dayu City.

As the blinding light gradually subsided, everyone was finally able to see what was inside the strange stone.

Within a fist-sized mass of transparent spiritual marrow, there was a leaf!
The leaf resembled a mulberry leaf and was only about half the size of a palm.

But the leaves are lush and green, containing an unparalleled and terrifying vitality!
"This...this...could this be the leaf of the legendary Fusang Divine Tree?"

Yu Xiong looked at the lush green leaves and felt as if he had been struck by lightning; even the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.

The Divine Tree of Fusang!

This is one of the three most famous sacred trees from ancient times!

Even a single withered leaf appearing in the world can drive countless ascended powerful beings mad!
Not to mention.

The leaf in front of me is lifelike and well-preserved.

Even after hundreds of thousands of years, time has not left any trace on its surface.

And the leaves still had a few drops of morning dew on them, looking as fresh as if they had just been picked from the tree!
A complete Hibiscus Leaf!

The value of this single leaf far exceeds all of Hong Jin's previous gains!
"Just who is this young friend, that he could possibly change the will of Heaven?"

Yu Xiong was terrified when he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more his scalp tingled.

He only cooperated with Lu Yuan because he had no other choice but to try anything.

After all, it's all a done deal.

With the favor of Heaven.

No matter how hard the Youyu clan struggles, they are destined to lose to the Tianyun Sect.

Even if Emperor Shun were to be reborn, he would be powerless to change all of this.

But who would have thought.

Lu Yuan not only reversed the situation in an unexpected way, but also obtained such a precious divine object!
Hibiscus leaves are extremely precious.

Even if Hong Zhen were to unearth ten more rare items, they would be utterly insignificant compared to these ancient treasures!
"Yu Qi actually unearthed an ancient divine artifact?"

Upstairs at the gambling stone market.

All the clan prodigies gleamed with extraordinary light in their eyes.

The Fusang Divine Tree is a divine object of the Wood Dao. Even a single leaf contains boundless vitality, comparable to a peerless divine pill.

It can heal flesh and bone, bring the dead back to life, and possesses incredible miraculous effects.

not to mention.

This hibiscus leaf is so well preserved that the texture and veins on its surface are clearly visible, without any missing parts.

If one could observe it closely.

This is an unprecedented opportunity for all wood-based Qi cultivators!

Hong Zhen, who was originally full of confidence and thought he had victory in the bag, saw this Japanese divine leaf at this moment.

Suddenly everything went black, and I almost fainted on the spot.

"This is impossible!"

"I am blessed by Heaven, a person with innate great fortune, how could I possibly lose to a mere scoundrel from the wilderness?!"

Hong Zhen gritted his teeth, his face extremely gloomy, as if water could drip from it.

Moreover, he personally took this strange stone from the sect's treasury.

In other words.

This hibiscus leaf should have belonged to him!

The thought of this.

Hong Zhen felt a dull ache in her heart, as if her heart was bleeding!

More importantly.

In order to improve his luck in this gamble, he had already used the supreme secret technique of the Heavenly Fortune Sect before even descending the mountain.

It allows him to borrow luck from heaven and receive more divine protection in a short period of time.

If he succeeds in his gamble, he can plunder the fortune of the Youyu clan to make up for the deficit, and also greatly enhance his own fortune.

But what if luck runs out...?

Thinking of the consequences of failure, Hong Zhen's face turned pale, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes. Where was the slightest bit of his previous arrogance?
"No!"

"I absolutely cannot lose!"

Hong Zhen's face was contorted with rage, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

Even at the cost of burning one's own life force and gambling with all one's luck, one must activate a secret technique to reverse this situation!
"Hmm? His luck has actually gotten stronger again?"

Lu Yuan let out a soft exclamation, noticing the change in Hong Zhen.

Luck is an elusive and intangible thing.

It cannot be seen or touched.

However, he possesses the ability to "have one's wishes fulfilled," making him exceptionally sensitive to the fortunes of others.

In Lu Yuan's perception.

Hong Zhen, using some unknown means, caused his luck to surge even more, making him worthy of the title "Chosen One".

"If Hong Zhen's opponent were someone else, he might actually be able to turn the tables, but unfortunately he ran into me."

Lu Yuan shook his head, feeling completely unperturbed.

【Heaven grants man's wishes】is a god-level talent, its power so terrifying that even the will of Heaven cannot rival it.

No matter how hard Hong Zhen tries, she's only making things easier for Lu Yuan.

The more precious the rare item he finds, the greater Lu Yuan's gains will be!
as predicted.

Even though Hong Zhen spared no effort and activated his Qi Luck Secret Technique, he only managed to produce one ancient rare plant.

Although this rare plant is quite valuable and would have fetched an astronomical price in the past, it is still far inferior to the Hibiscus Divine Leaf.

Looking at the last strange stone, Hong Zhen finally understood the despair that Yu Qi had felt before.

"Our Heavenly Fortune Sect is ordained by Heaven and can reach the ears of Heaven."

"Unless it is the will of Heaven to destroy my Heavenly Fortune Sect, I have absolutely no chance of losing to the people of the Great Wilderness."

"Heaven above, your humble servant Hong Zhen is willing to give up everything, only asking for your mercy!"

Hong Zhen stood there, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails pierced her skin and dug deep into her flesh.

He was completely out of control, recklessly activating his Qi Luck Secret Technique over and over again.

In the end, he became emaciated, like skin and bones, as if he had lost all his energy and spirit in an instant.

If it weren't for the faint breath still lingering from his nostrils, he would have looked no different from a dried-up corpse.

"A secret technique of the Heavenly Fortune Sect?"

The weight that had just lifted from Yu Xiong's heart was now hanging in his throat again.

Although the Fusang Divine Leaf is very precious, Hong Zhen, as the Dao Child of the Heavenly Fortune Sect, has achieved something in the path of destiny that even surpasses many ascended great beings.

If he could truly communicate with fate, he might be able to reverse this bet.

Hong Zhen had barely finished speaking.

It was accompanied by a deafening explosion.

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, instantly hitting the last strange rock.

All of a sudden.

Stone chips flew everywhere, and then another blinding light suddenly shone.

When the light fades.

To everyone's horror, they discovered that the strange stone contained a blood-stained pupil!

Those pupils were majestic and profound, their gaze as vast as the heavens.

The crowd only glanced at the bloodstained pupil before suddenly letting out a muffled groan, as if they had been severely injured, with blood streaming from their eyes!

"Martial Arts Heavenly Eye!"

"My God, this is an unparalleled divine eye left behind by an ancient supreme being!"

Someone gasped in surprise, recognizing the origin of the bloodstained pupil.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiong's expression changed slightly, and his heart felt as if it had fallen into an abyss.

He was right.

As expected, Heaven intervened.

The Fusang Divine Leaf is indeed an ancient divine object.

However, it is still slightly inferior to the martial arts eye of an ancient sage!
"Hahaha, may Heaven bless my Heavenly Fortune Sect! You've lost! You've lost!"

Hong Zhen burst into laughter, his voice filled with excitement and joy.

But to the members of the Youyu clan, it sounded particularly jarring.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan's brows gradually furrowed.

It shouldn't be.

God-level talents have never had any problems, so how could [Heaven Follows Man's Wishes] fail?
"Could there be another secret behind this stone?"

Looking at the Fusang Divine Leaf in Yu Xiong's hand, which was enveloped in spiritual essence, Lu Yuan vaguely guessed what was going on.

Because this strange stone has only had its outer skin cut open, most of its spiritual essence is still wrapped inside the stone skin, so its full appearance cannot be seen.

This also means.

That hibiscus leaf is not the whole story of this strange stone!
"The will of Heaven cannot be defied; in the end, it was the Yu clan that was defeated."

Yu Xiong sighed heavily. His spine, which had been as straight as a pine tree, suddenly became hunched and bent as if it had been broken.

He looked as if he had aged decades in an instant.

Just as he was feeling utterly hopeless and ready to give up, Lu Yuan called out to him.

"Wait a minute, senior. This bet is not over yet."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiong gave a bitter smile.

"Young friend, your skills are truly extraordinary, and I admire you immensely."

"But things have come to this point, and even if our ancestors were alive, they would be powerless to change the situation."

"Since the Yu family has agreed to this bet, we will never go back on our word..."

But before he could finish speaking, Lu Yuan forcibly interrupted him.

"Continue cutting this strange stone."

"Young friend, you mean..."

Yu Xiong's body trembled, and he immediately understood what Lu Yuan meant.

And a glimmer of light reappeared in his dull, aged eyes.

Followed by.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Yu Xiong swiftly shaved off the remaining stone skin with his knife.

"What is Elder Yu Xiong doing?"

"Is he still unwilling to give up, and insists on making a final, futile struggle before admitting defeat?"

"It's rare to find two kinds of wonders inside a single stone."

"The Fusang Divine Leaf is an ancient treasure that is only found once every ten thousand years. Even if Yu Xiong continues to cut stones, it will be difficult to find anything good..."

But before the man could finish speaking, he suddenly widened his eyes, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

The others were also extremely astonished, all gasping in shock as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

After Yu Xiong cut away all the outer layer of stone...

On the back of that hibiscus leaf, there was even an insect egg the size of a sesame seed!

The insect egg emitted a five-colored divine light. Even before it hatched, a powerful pressure spread out, making everyone breathless.

I saw these two insect eggs.

Hong Zhen's laughter stopped abruptly, and the smile on his face looked more like a grimace!

Although he did not know the origin of the insect egg.

However, the Fusang Divine Tree is an ancient divine tree, and ordinary ancient exotic species do not even have the right to approach it.

The strange insects that can lay their eggs on the branches and leaves of the divine tree must have an extraordinary origin.

Among the other clan prodigies...

A young man dressed in blue carefully examined the object for a moment, and his face immediately showed surprise. He finally recognized the origin of the object.

Because this is none other than the legendary Ice and Fire Spirit Silkworm!

Legend has it that in ancient times...

Leizu, the primary consort of the Yellow Emperor, saw that the people of the Great Wilderness were backward and ignorant, only knowing how to wrap their bodies in animal skins. Therefore, she invented the method of raising silkworms and spinning silk.

The first silkworm she raised is also known as the first silkworm of Leizu.

It means the ancestor of all silkworms in the world!

And this Ice-Fire Spirit Silkworm is the direct descendant of the original silkworm of Leizu.

It feeds on the Fusang divine tree and is born with a mastery of the principles of Yin and Yang.

The silk it produces is impervious to water and fire, and is indestructible; it is the ultimate material for refining artifacts.

If you add a little bit of Ice and Fire Spirit Silkworm Silk to a defensive treasure like armor, its power will increase dramatically!

Even the imperial robes of the ancient ancestral court's successive human emperors were woven from the silk of ice-fire spirit silkworms.

This alone demonstrates its immense value!

"The Ice-Fire Spirit Silkworm is an ancient divine insect that has disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years. I never expected it to reappear today!"

"Although the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye is precious, it is still quite different from the Ice and Fire Spirit Silkworm."

"It seems that the Yu clan has not only not declined, but is actually enjoying great fortune!"

Everyone was amazed.

This betting contest was full of twists and turns and unpredictable events.

Until the very last moment, you never know who the real winner will be!
"Did we really win?"

The members of the Youyu clan stared blankly at the Ice-Fire Spirit Silkworm egg, their expressions a mixture of surprise and disbelief.

Hong Zhen arrived with overwhelming force, forcing Yu Qi to accept the bet and intending to put the Youyu clan to death.

This is a struggle for destiny between the Yu clan and the Tianyun sect.

Faced with this irresistible and overwhelming trend, they had already mentally prepared themselves for certain defeat.

But who would have thought.

However, the Youyu clan ultimately won the bet in an unbelievable way.

The surprise came so suddenly that all the members of the Youyu clan were still unable to accept this fact.

After a long time.

Overjoyed, they burst into tears and erupted in thunderous cheers.

"puff!"

Enraged, Hong Zhen coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered, and collapsed to the ground.

He was only twenty years old, but now he had lost all his spirit, his face was ashen, and he looked even older than Yu Xiong!
It’s fate!

Fate is cruel!
As a Daoist disciple of the Heavenly Fortune Sect, he clearly possessed great fortune, always won at gambling, and had opened a bloodstained Martial Arts Heavenly Eye.

But why did they still end up losing so badly?
Faced with this ironic outcome.

All his previous confidence, all his efforts, all his struggles, were simply a huge joke!

Moreover, he couldn't understand why the Yu clan, whose fate was clearly sealed, could still turn defeat into victory.

How exactly did they win?! (End of Chapter)
