My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 315 Playing with Fate
The continuous mountain range outside the Bloodbath City is the Dead Silence Mountains. This mountain area stretches for thousands of miles and covers a vast area. The deepest part of it is the rule-restricted area.

The strength of all entrants will be weakened to a certain extent, and their strength will be suppressed to around the local level ten.

But this kind of suppression is usually based on one's own characteristics rather than abilities - for example, Jiang Chen's Ghost Bride summoning, semi-artifacts are basically not affected, and rule abilities are even less affected.

For this reason, even if the senior bosses suppress their own strength here, their offense and defense will only be weakened, but their equipment and special abilities will be basically unaffected, not to mention their combat experience.

The suppressive effect of the rule restrictions usually lasts about twenty days, so anyone passing through this area will still be affected by the suppression even if they leave. This is also the reason why both sides can maintain peace.

After leaving the church, Jiang Chen and Bai Feifei walked towards the Temple of the Dead.

Walking slowly in the vast jungle, Jiang Chen looked at the map in his hand and said, "If everything goes well, we can get there in one day."

Bai Feifei lowered her head and said nothing.

Jiang Chen looked at her strangely: "What's wrong?"

"I'm thinking about something." Bai Feifei lightly lifted her hair from her forehead: "I may understand why Christiana cursed you."

"Why?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

Bai Feifei said: "The Dead Silence Rule Zone weakens the strength of all those who receive the commandments. The stronger the strength, the more it will be weakened. She cast a curse on you, and based on this, the restrictions imposed by the rules on you are much smaller."

Jiang Chen chuckled: "There is something wrong with this statement. If she doesn't take action, the dead silence rule may have a greater impact on me, but my weakened strength may not be weaker than if she takes action... It may even be stronger. The rules here only narrow the gap between the strong and the weak, not eliminate the gap."

Bai Feifei smiled and said, "But if she doesn't take action, you might encounter other curses, right?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

Walking on the mountain path ahead, he casually asked, "Do you understand fate?"

Bai Feifei was stunned: "How could I understand?"

"You should understand. After all, you and I have been through a lot together these days. Especially the death match, you witnessed some things with your own eyes... Many people saw it, but not everyone can see the truth behind the scenes."

Bai Feifei lowered her head and began to think.

After a while, she said, "Ring the bell. This should be the instruction your father left for you. The Bell of Faith, the Pandora Library, and this time the Bell of Victory. I don't know how he did it, but there may be some connection. When you rang the bell, fate responded to you and allowed you to gain the power of three-phase fusion... This is your father's secret. He really solved the problem of fusion power, but I don't understand how he did it."

"That's just because you don't know him. Keep going!"

"You typed out the Morse code, which read: You are just a stinky old man." Bai Feifei said.

Jiang Chen was not surprised that she knew this. Bai Feifei had always been a smart girl, but she had always been low-key and not ostentatious.

Jiang Chen said directly: "It has nothing to do with this."

Bai Feifei said, "You exchanged for the Guardian Armor and typed out the contents of the Morse code, which gave you the power of three-phase fusion. The acquisition of the three-phase fusion power temporarily made your body unable to control itself. You were attacked at that stage, and it was the Guardian Armor that protected you. That kind of spontaneous protection is very strange... What do you mean by this?"

Jiang Chen smiled.

He nodded. "Well, very good. You have seen the first layer of the surface problem."

Bai Feifei thought about it carefully.

What he just asked was whether he understood destiny?
In other words, what he asked was not about his father, but about fate!

And this topic arose because of Christiana's curse.

This made her understand a little: "Is the Guardian Armor's active protection of its master because fate has mobilized this power?"

"I have touched the superficial part of the second layer. Keep going!" Bai Feifei glared at his back unhappily: "You are like a life mentor!"

Jiang Chen: "I won't let you recite it a hundred times."

Bai Feifei continued to speculate: "I don't know why fate protects you. Maybe it's because you opened the hourglass of misfortune, or maybe it's because of some other reason. The key point is... how does it protect you?"

Jiang Chen finally looked serious.

He raised his thumbs up: "Very good! You are beginning to understand now. What is destiny? It was originally just a virtual word on paper. It actually meant nothing. But here, it actually exists. To master the power of the root, you must truly understand each character and understand their true meaning. In the chaotic world, the definition of the root characters is clear and has important significance. Fortunately, among the root characters I have mastered, there are words about destiny. Unfortunately, my understanding is still too shallow. I can only recognize this character, but cannot see through the meaning behind it. But this experience, as well as the interpretation of the root, made me begin to understand destiny."

He stopped and looked back at Bai Feifei: "Fate is an invisible hand that controls everything."

Bai Feifei laughed: "Sounds awesome?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "No, you are also someone who is understanding the rules. You should understand that to take advantage of the rules, you must learn to play with words! Fate controls everything sounds powerful, but think about the opposite meaning behind this statement?"

Bai Feifei understood what he meant: "It doesn't have strong power of its own, it can only be controlled!"

Jiang Chen continued to move forward: "First, it can only control existing power and does not have power itself. Second, there must be a controllable target. Third, it cannot violate basic logic."

Bai Feifei suddenly realized: "In the situation at that time, fate could have made many choices. For example, it could have made the demons stop attacking you, but it didn't do it. It also didn't make you invincible again. Because neither you nor the demons have such control conditions. The only thing it can do is to activate the armor of protection, or even activate yourself?"

"Yes! Destiny is like a chess player. The chess player looks awesome and can control the world. But first, he must have chess pieces to play, and second, he cannot violate the rules of the chessboard."

"So what about your three-phase fusion power?"

"It didn't let me master it without logic, but it transformed my body so that I could fuse the three-phase power. My body is its pawn, and my will will not resist this transformation!"

"What does this have to do with the curse?"

"Good luck and bad luck are both part of fate. I entered the Cave of Fate to pray for blessings, and good luck can easily protect me. But when bad luck comes, I enter a desolate land with no conditions to operate around me. How will bad luck come?"

Faced with this question, Bai Feifei thought for a moment and said, "Either I can cause the surrounding environment to deteriorate to deal with you, but this can easily cause widespread accidental injuries, which does not conform to the principle of Doom punishing you as an individual. Or I can attract other hostile beings to deal with you?"

Jiang Chen smiled: "That's right. I have many hostile existences. The Demon Lord who was once demoted, the Crimson Territory that was defeated, the Flame Sect whose plans were destroyed by me twice... They have enough hatred for me. Under the guidance of fate, they can easily find me and attack me."

Bai Feifei understood: "So this is why Princess Christiana attacked you? She cursed you before they did."

Jiang Chen continued to move forward: "Attacks from our own people are more controllable. If those guys attack me, the consequences will be hard to say. As for now, although I have been cursed six times, the trouble lies in the long run, not in the present!"

Bai Feifei understood.

Yes, although the six curses are powerful and terrifying, the real terrifying thing is that they are almost impossible to eliminate and are always effective, which is a long-term torture. But for the current situation, especially for Jiang Chen who is about to enter the Temple of Death and is weakened by the rules, it is equivalent to having no effect.

Bai Feifei nodded repeatedly: "Not only that, she can also wait for you to come back before releasing it?"

Jiang Chen smiled: "Maybe, but I won't need her help."

"why?"

"Don't play with fate, it may bring unexpected consequences. Don't worry, I can handle this matter myself."

Looking at Jiang Chen's back, Bai Feifei muttered: "I'm not sure whether she has fallen in love with you, but you seem to have started to care about her."

Jiang Chen seemed to be struck by lightning. His body paused for a moment, then he pretended not to hear and continued moving forward.
