Chapter 430 The Study of Destiny and Rosen's Rebirth Beyond Fate
Chapter 429

In Redstone City, the capital of the Blazing Shadow Kingdom, there is a hidden villa in the noble district.

This is the Howard family's villa, and also the place where Rosen awoke after his rebirth.

He never imagined that the signs of fate would point him here.

Although Redstone City has been renovated many times over the past thousand years, this Howard family villa remains unchanged.

When Rosen last came here, he casually drew some pictures to hide the villa.

Thanks to the power of the spiritual paintings, this villa has remained intact for so many years.

Pushing open the dusty door, Rosen reminisced as he entered the basement.

The Fate Indicator has disappeared, clearly pointing to the marked Fate World located in this basement.

As expected, the world of destiny is related to Earth, and his rebirth is also related to the world of destiny.

Rosen searched every inch of the basement.

The result was that nothing was found, and no abnormalities were discovered.

The world of destiny is right in front of us, but there's no way to get in, so we can only stare helplessly.

Rosen had mixed feelings about the Howard family.

They are most likely his descendants, but there is no affection between them.

Therefore, he never considered resurrecting the fallen members of the Howard family throughout history.

Now that we can't find the world of destiny, there aren't many other options we can think of.

Revive the Howard family members from past generations. Perhaps some clues can be gleaned from them.

Rosen immediately began tracing the traces of existence along the past timeline, and then resurrected life through the laws of spacetime.

None of them succeeded. He could easily resurrect true gods now, but he failed to resurrect ordinary extraordinary beings who were not even gods. It was as if the Howard family did not exist in history at all, and all traces of their existence were fake.

If the Howard family members cannot be resurrected, does that mean the other families in the Blazing Shadow Kingdom also cannot be resurrected?
Rosen spent half a month resurrecting everyone who might have had any connection with the Howard family.

He even resurrected the god who had caused the deaths of Rosen's parents.

As a result, Rosen discovered through the power of the memory source that all of their memories were problematic.

Even Rosen's parents, Erica and Ian, never really existed. Everything about Rosen was a carefully crafted lie that has deceived him for so many years.

"Could it be that my rebirth was all a setup...?"

Rosen's rage materialized because of the Eternal Will, and his loss of control burned the entire Blazing Shadow Principality to ashes.

After calming down, the Creator's domain, which governs the laws of time, reversed time.

The Blazing Shadow Principality, instantly reduced to ashes, returned to the state it was before it was destroyed by his rage.

As Rosen was pondering how to enter the world of destiny, a vortex suddenly appeared before him.

Clearly, his rage incinerated the Blazing Shadow Kingdom and his actions of reversing time to restore everything inadvertently fulfilled the conditions for the appearance of the World of Destiny. Seeing the vortex appear and begin to shrink little by little, he stepped into it without the slightest hesitation.

As long as he doesn't encounter a living, eternal being, he's confident he can escape unscathed.

If the living eternal life is truly detrimental to him, then it makes no difference whether he enters as his true self or as an avatar.

Rosen had entered countless spatial vortexes, but this one was the strongest.

Even the spatial power at the entrance and exit of the cosmic forbidden zone is not as strong as this spatial vortex.

After a long-awaited period of dizziness, Rosen arrived at a study filled with bookshelves.

Upon closer inspection, aside from the lack of a computer desk, it is remarkably similar to the mysterious study.

The eternal will enveloped the study, immediately noticing the difference between this study and the mysterious study.

His mysterious study, which originated from the Apocalypse, is very likely a replica of the study in front of us.

Because the walls of this study, formed from the barriers of the world, are actually at the level of eternity.

Compressing an immortal world into the size of a mysterious study was something Rosen had never known before. Only after creating the Heavenly Flame to temper his immortal divine body did he realize that with Apocalypse's strength, it was almost impossible to compress an immortal world into a small mysterious study.

Everyone knows that compressing materials can increase their strength, but it's easier said than done.

Rosen compressed the immortal divine body by using not only the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, but also the Gathering and Dispersing Source Seed, the Black Hole Source Seed, and the Mechanical Source Seed, so that the immortal world formed by the immortal divine body could gather and disperse at will. Tianqi did not even use the Omniscient Source Seed, so how could he compress the immortal world to the size of a study?
It's so difficult to compress an immortal world, let alone compress an eternal world to the size of this study.

Aside from the ancient gods, Rosen couldn't think of anyone else who could do such an incredible thing.

Rosen approached the desk and saw a book on it.

The cover of this book bears the words "The Book of Destiny and Creation".

Rosen did not rashly open the book in front of him; it gave him a very dangerous feeling.

He turned around and went to the bookshelf, where he saw that it was full of books.

Under the watchful eye of the Creator, Rosen found a book on the bookshelf that he felt an instinctive affinity for.

Upon closer inspection, this book seems to have a close connection to the mysterious study.

Rosen carefully prepared to take down the book, but the moment his fingers touched it, countless pieces of consciousness information were transmitted from it.

Because they have mastered the memory source species and the information source species, and because the brain and the main god computer have merged.

Rosen processed information at an alarming speed, and in the blink of an eye, he had finished organizing the received consciousness information.

As expected, this book is related to the Apocalypse; the Apocalypse left his greatest secret in this message.

The fact that Tianqi was able to become an immortal god or demon was purely by sheer luck.

It's clear from the Omniscient Source and the Mysterious Study that Apocalypse is not good at fighting; he prefers to hide and avoid conflict.

Such a personality is not suitable for spiritual practice, because if you don't compete or fight, where will you get the resources to grow?

Fortunately, Apocalypse possesses an extraordinary thirst for knowledge and unexpectedly obtained the miraculous treasure, the Coin of Destiny.

Even more fortunately, when spinning the wheel of fortune, he earned the fortune indicator after only a few spins.

Following the signs of destiny, Apocalypse found one of the entrances to the Destiny Study located in Redstone City, the capital of the Blazing Shadow Kingdom.

At that time, this place was still a deserted island, and there were no restrictions on entering or leaving the Destiny Study.

Rosen couldn't find the entrance because it had been hidden by Apocalypse. The condition for entering and exiting was that there could only be one life on the island. If there was a second life, the entrance to the Destiny's Study would not appear.

When Apocalypse discovered the Library of Destiny, he wasn't as cautious as he was back then.

Because of his ignorance and fearlessness, Apocalypse, who was not even a god at the time, could not see the horror of the Study of Destiny.

Therefore, Apocalypse boldly opened the Book of Destiny, the book of destiny originating from destiny itself.

There are many eternal beings in the universe, but none of them have mastered the source seeds corresponding to time, space, origin, and destiny. If there were an eternal being that could master the source seed of time, it would definitely surpass the ancient gods, who are in the first tier, and be divided into even higher tiers.

But did these original species really not arise after the birth of the universe?

The answer is no. According to the Book of Destiny, eternal life was not the first life to be born. Before the birth of eternal life, there was actually an even more ancient primordial life that directly controlled the origin of the universe.

The Origin Seed was not born naturally in the universe, but was a product created by primordial life.

After the primordial life created the first innate source species, it sealed away some source species that could threaten the universe.

Then, relying on other source species, they created subsequent eternal life.

The Eternal Soul-Binding Horn, unsurprisingly, originated from primordial life.

Not all primordial life forms were equally powerful; they fought and killed each other. The weakest primordial life form was not much stronger than the first tier of eternal life forms, and the strongest primordial life forms had all left the universe.

The Book of Destiny and the Study of Destiny are both things left behind by the original destiny.

The source of destiny lies within the Book of Destiny.

The Library of Destiny does not exist in the world of the Ancient Gods, but rather in the primordial sea of ​​the universe. Redstone City is merely one of the entrances, fixed to the world of the Ancient Gods by some means. Only the Ancient Gods can enter through this entrance. Rosen and Apocalypse were able to enter solely because they are both Ancient Gods.

Every single native life form in the world of the Ancient Gods is an Ancient God.

This is actually easy to understand. Rosen's true form is Rosen, his Yinglong clone is also Rosen, his eternal clone is still Rosen, and even any of the root worm mothers is Rosen. Whether it is the true form or the clone, they all have souls, spiritual origins, and life origins.

The determination of who is the original and who is the clone depends on power and memory.

Rosen himself possesses overwhelming power, therefore he is the true original. Moreover, he has complete memories that his clones do not possess, so he will always be the true original and no clone can replace him, unless one day the true original completely perishes, at which point a clone will transform into the new true original.

Or perhaps the original body and its clone were severed from each other by some powerful barrier.

If a clone cannot contact the original body for a long time, it will naturally assume that the original body has perished. In this case, the clone may spontaneously transform into the original body. Therefore, the original body and the clone are never absolute, which is why the clone is always weaker than the original body.

The ancient gods transformed into all things, and their divine essence became the wisdom and life of all living beings.

This actually means that all intelligent life in the world of the ancient gods is an avatar of the ancient gods.

Therefore, both Apocalypse and Lawson can enter the Study of Destiny through this passage fixed by the ancient gods.

Although the ancient gods discovered the Study of Destiny and even monopolized a passage to it, they could not refine it because when the original Destiny created the Study of Destiny, it left no room for it to recognize a master. The true master of the Study of Destiny is all living beings in the universe.

Anyone who finds the entrance and exit can normally enter the Study of Destiny.

Then, through the Book of Destiny, one can see their own destiny.

The fate of all beings in the universe is almost constant, and there are very, very few ways to change one's fate.

Even those with eternal life who control the innate source can only slightly alter their destiny.

Alternatively, by using a few special source species such as the Miracle Source Species, one can change their own destiny to a greater extent.

To completely change one's fate, one must rely on the Book of Destiny, which is infused with the Source Seed of Destiny.

However, having the opportunity to change one's destiny does not mean having the ability to change it.

For example, an ant might be able to live a few more days by changing its fate, but it is absolutely impossible for it to survive in the event of a planet's destruction. Therefore, without sufficient power, changing one's fate is nothing but wishful thinking.

Ignorance is bliss; often, not knowing anything is a kind of happiness.

The thing Apocalypse regretted most was that he opened the Book of Destiny back then.

Then he saw his own destiny, and even saw the different directions in which his destiny would develop after he intentionally changed it.

However, no matter how his fate unfolded, Apocalypse discovered that he was ultimately doomed to die.

Because the Ancient God would never let go of any of his clones, he would turn the entire universe upside down to reclaim all of them. Only if there is a single Ancient God in the universe can the Ancient God become a primordial life form and leave the universe.

Everything the ancient gods are doing now is paving the way for becoming primordial life.

Knowing his predetermined future, Apocalypse felt fear and resentment.

However, the ancient god was too powerful, and his clones had no chance of defying the heavens and going against the original.

Even if Apocalypse were to attain eternal life in one of his destinies, he would still find it difficult to escape the fate of being killed and taken back by the ancient gods.

With his understanding of fate, Apocalypse, whose talents were not particularly outstanding in any aspect, became stronger and stronger.

However, the stronger one becomes, the more desperate one becomes, and despair at its extreme leads to resentment and madness.

Apocalypse was unwilling to accept that he was born as nourishment for the transformation of the ancient gods into primordial life, so he began to look for an opportunity to fight back against the ancient gods.

However, it's easier said than done.

Because not only can the Apocalypse open the Book of Destiny, but the Ancient Gods can also open the Book of Destiny.

Unless one can deceive the Book of Fate, any scheme against the Ancient Gods is doomed to fail from the outset.

Because the ancient gods knew about everything Apocalypse had done countless years ago through the Book of Destiny.

To deceive the Book of Fate and Creation, one must first have a thorough understanding of it.

Through his continuous research, Tianqi discovered that the Book of Destiny was not omnipotent. When it came to things related to primordial life, the Book of Destiny could not fully and accurately present the correct destiny. Moreover, the power of miracles could also interfere with the Book of Destiny.

Ultimately, guided by the Book of Destiny, Apocalypse found the Blue Star that the ancient gods had hidden.

The power of the Book of Destiny cannot completely cover or influence the Blue Star.

Because Blue Star, this seemingly ordinary star, may very well contain a fusion of Time Source Species and Space Source Species within it.

Apocalypse also discovered that the Book of Destiny and Creation could not truly control the fate of all living beings.

The destiny that the Book of Destiny can fully reveal is only for the being who opens this book.

If the apocalypse could use the Book of Destiny to know the fate of a deity in a corner of the universe, it wouldn't be difficult. However, if it wanted to know the fate of an immortal god or demon in a corner of the universe, the chances of the Book of Destiny being wrong would be extremely high.

The Book of Destiny is not omnipotent, which gave Apocalypse the opportunity to devise a plan against the ancient gods.

Apocalypse found the Miracle Seed and then hid on Earth.

With the Book of Destiny unable to influence things, Apocalypse began to lay out its plans on Earth.
Tianqi also knew that once the ancient god's avatar awakened, he only needed to enter the Book of Destiny to know about him through the Book of Destiny and Creation, and that he had come to Blue Star. At that time, given the ancient god's control over Blue Star, no matter what arrangements he left behind, they would all fail.

So from that time on, Apocalypse was prepared to die.

Apocalypse is prepared to use his own life to create a miracle that can overthrow the ancient gods and the Book of Destiny.

The planet Earth is capable of continuous time loops. Apocalypse has tried on almost everyone throughout history in these time loops until finally, in one of them, Apocalypse discovered him and found that he was born with a special talent.

Rosen has been somewhat escapist since childhood, instinctively believing that reality is too unreal.

He found the fictional world to be more real.

Because in reality, he often sees certain people and things that he feels he has seen before.

When Apocalypse discovered him, it found that his spirituality was extremely sharp, beyond imagination. His instincts actually stemmed from his past lives, and even the time loop of Earth could not completely erase all his memories of his past lives.

After discovering this, Apocalypse became increasingly interested in him.

After observing for tens of thousands of years through several cycles, Apocalypse discovered the true nature of this instinct.

There really are Time Source Species on Earth, and he is naturally compatible with them.

This is not hard to understand. Saltwater fish cannot live in freshwater because their cells are adapted to the marine environment.

However, some fish can live in both seawater and freshwater at different stages of their growth.

Life has a strong ability to adapt. With countless time cycles on Earth and endless time acceleration, some people gradually adapt to the power of time and actively adapt to their environment under its influence.

Rosen is the one who adapted the best; theoretically, after countless cycles, he can recognize the Time Source Seed as his master.

However, this would take far too long. Before he could even gain the Time Source's approval after countless time loops, the Ancient Gods had already discovered his anomaly and taken the initiative. It's even possible that this was the Ancient Gods' original purpose.

Because all life on Earth, like in the world of the ancient gods, is a manifestation of the divine essence of the ancient gods.

The ancient god hoped to use this method to allow one of his clones to adapt to the environment and gradually gain the recognition of the Time Source Species.

After finally retrieving the clones, the Ancient God will be able to control the Time Source Seed of Blue Star.

After Apocalypse discovered this secret, he immediately began to pave the way for him.

Rosen is closely connected to the Time Source Seed in the endless cycle of time. He is an anomaly who can escape the control of the Book of Destiny. Only he has the possibility of defeating the Book of Destiny and replacing the original Ancient God to become the new Ancient God.

Apocalypse wanted to use him to achieve his rebellion against the ancient gods.

Apocalypse prepared a mysterious study for him, allowing it to undergo repeated cycles of time to complete its initial recognition as his master.

This is why in an immortal world, an ordinary person whose spirituality has not been awakened can merge with a soul.

Because he has merged with countless time cycles over countless millennia, with the mysterious study, after leaving Earth and arriving in the ancient god world, he can easily overcome various dangers with the help of the mysterious study, thus ensuring that he can live and grow up.

To facilitate his integration with the Mysterious Study, he even stripped away the world's origin from the Mysterious Study.

After leaving the mysterious study to him, Apocalypse used some eternal time essence obtained from him through repeated time cycles to temporarily evade the control of the Book of Destiny. Then, it made various arrangements to prepare a legitimate identity for him, Little Rosen, which could deceive the Book of Destiny.
