People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 478 The Wheel of Fate, Back to the Primordial World!
"Is this it?"

Yang Xuan took a step forward and arrived at the heart of the Starry Ancient Tree, where he saw half of a white jade disc.

The material used for this half-disc is extremely special; in terms of hardness, it is absolutely no less than that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Logically speaking, a magical treasure of this hardness would not be damaged in the slightest even if a world were destroyed.

In all the years that the primordial world has existed, there has never been a case of an innate spiritual treasure being destroyed. Even the mere damage to an innate spiritual treasure is extremely rare.

But this magical treasure, with its astonishing hardness and extraordinary origins, was actually cut in two.

The cut was extremely clean, like a mirror, which means that either the magical artifact that cut it was extremely sharp, or the person who used the magical artifact was extremely powerful. Of course, it is also possible that both are true.

The fact that this person could cleave a white jade disc of such hardness as a top-grade innate spiritual treasure speaks volumes about their cultivation level.

"The Great God Pangu..."

Considering the calamity that the Starry Sky Ancient Tree had suffered, Yang Xuan quickly came to a guess.

But something is not quite right. The Starry Sky Ancient Tree was only affected by the aftershocks of the battle, but this half of the white jade disc looks like it was directly hit by the Great God Pangu.

No matter how you look at it, neither of them seems to have been attacked in the same place.

After some questioning, Yang Xuan learned that the Starry Sky Ancient Tree and the White Jade Disc were indeed attacked in different places.

In fact, this white jade disc has nothing to do with the Starry Sky Ancient Tree. It was neither born from the Starry Sky Ancient Tree nor is it a magical treasure that the Starry Sky Ancient Tree possesses.

Instead, countless years ago, after the great war that created the heavens and earth, this half of the disc happened to fly to this shattered world, pierced the trunk of the ancient star tree, and pierced into its heart.

It was precisely because of the arrival of this half-disc that the Starry Sky Ancient Tree entrusted a wisp of life to it, which is why it has been able to survive to this day.

Otherwise, the remaining vitality of the Starry Sky Ancient Tree would not have been enough to sustain it until now.

Even Yang Xuan's ability to find this world and revive the ancient star tree was also due to this white jade disc.

In other words, the spiritual object that Yang Xuan felt something for and that guided him to this world was not the ancient star tree itself, but this white jade disc.

The reason why the Ancient Star Tree said that there was a way to find other soul fragments in the chaos was also because of this white jade disc.

As for the reason, the Starry Sky Ancient Tree, which is almost entirely driven by instinct, naturally cannot give a specific explanation.

But with Yang Xuan's cultivation level, he understood the reason the moment he got his hands on the disc.

This white jade disc is called the Destiny Disc, and the Great Dao contained within it is the Great Dao of Destiny that Yang Xuan is currently most proficient in.

Although this white jade disc was severely damaged, with only a small piece remaining, it still contained the profound Dao of Destiny.

If Yang Xuan could carry it with him and contemplate it frequently, his understanding of the Great Dao of Destiny would surely be greatly enhanced.

Unfortunately, the disc was so badly damaged, it was suspected that it had been cleaved by Pangu's axe, and many of its mystical effects were destroyed and could not be performed.

The sole function of this disc now is to briefly define destiny within the chaos, guiding beings with which it has karmic connections to find their destiny.

Or perhaps, by utilizing the karma of a certain spiritual object, one can redefine destiny and find the spiritual object associated with it.

The reason why the Starry Sky Ancient Tree could transmit information that could guide Yang Xuan to find the remains of other spiritual roots was because of this function.

Spiritual roots that are rooted in chaos and nourished by chaos can be considered chaotic spiritual roots.

As a chaotic spiritual root, the Starry Sky Ancient Tree has some causal relationship with other chaotic spiritual roots.

If only remnants of other chaotic spiritual roots remain, then by using this tiny bit of cause and effect, it is possible for the Fate Wheel to recreate the cause and effect between the two in the chaos, guiding Yang Xuan to find the remnants of that spiritual root in the chaos.

"To redefine the Great Dao of Destiny within chaos is truly incredible. Is this a unique effect of the Chaos Treasure, or is it a special feature of this Destiny Wheel?"

Yang Xuan stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

When Yang Xuan saw the Tongtian Sect Leader make his move, he thought that perhaps a sage could reenact the Great Dao in the chaos, allowing the concepts of space, time, and other aspects of the Great Dao to emerge in the chaos where the Great Dao originally did not exist.

Now that he knows the effects of the Destiny Chart, Yang Xuan is even more convinced of this idea.

However, there was one thing Yang Xuan wasn't clear about. According to the effects of the Destiny Chart, one should only feel something if one had a connection with it or with the Ancient Tree of Stars.

This was the first time Yang Xuan had seen the Starry Sky Ancient Tree; before this, there was no way he could have had any connection with it.

As for the Fate Chart, Yang Xuan could not possibly have any connection with it.

If Yang Xuan's prediction is correct, this Fate Plate should be the Chaos Treasure of the God of Fate, or perhaps the true form of the God of Fate.

Regardless of which one it is, there is an insurmountable time gap between them and Yang Xuan.

When the God of Destiny was killed by Pangu's axe, Yang Xuan had not yet transmigrated to the prehistoric world, and even his original form, the Treasure Basin, had most likely not yet been born.

How could he possibly have a causal relationship with the Fate Chart?
But if there is no cause and effect, why was the Destiny Chart able to guide him here?
"It can't be because I've gained some insight into the Dao of Destiny, can it?"

Yang Xuan frowned slightly, completely baffled.

Although his attainments in the Great Dao of Destiny are undoubtedly the best among the many Quasi-Saints in the Primordial World, and he can even compete with the Sub-Saints.

However, the sage's understanding of the great Dao of destiny should be no less profound than his.

Since the end of the Lich War, the Tongtian Sect Leader has often traveled to the heavens in his spirit, trying to find the Chaos Bell that has escaped into the chaos.

If Yang Xuan's connection to the Destiny Compass was truly due to the Great Dao of Destiny, then the Tongtian Sect Leader should have sensed it long ago and obtained the Starry Sky Tree and the Destiny Compass.

"Could it be that the Fate Compass senses that the Tongtian Sect Leader's strength is too great and dares not do this, or that the Tongtian Sect Leader's position is too high, so even if the Fate Compass can establish cause and effect, it cannot form destiny?"

Yang Xuan thought about it and felt that it was possible, but not very likely. He always felt that there was something he had overlooked.

However, he still knew too little about the sage, and he was not sure if there was something he possessed that the sage did not, yet it was related to the Destiny Chart or the Ancient Tree of Stars.

Does such a thing really exist?

Yang Xuan carefully compared the spiritual items on his body, but still couldn't reach a precise conclusion.

The most likely spiritual treasure is the Mysterious Spirit Gourd, which might have some connection to the Starry Sky Ancient Tree. However, it's only a slight connection, and the possibility is not high. In Yang Xuan's view, the reason he was able to come here should be because of the Fate Plate, rather than the cause and effect of the Starry Sky Ancient Tree.

Yang Xuan didn't think much of it. In short, it was a good thing. Even if it was just a severely damaged Chaos Spiritual Treasure, it was still a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

If Yang Xuan could comprehend the profound principles contained within, he would gain a deeper understanding of the Dao of Destiny.

The Great Dao of Destiny is the underlying Dao that constitutes the Dao of Commerce. If Yang Xuan can gain more insights into it, the Dao of Commerce he establishes in the future will be more perfect, and the chances of him attaining enlightenment will be much higher.

Furthermore, obtaining a top-grade Chaos Spiritual Root for free is an incredibly fortunate opportunity.

If we could accelerate the growth of the Starry Sky Ancient Tree, restoring it to its peak, or even further, allowing it to evolve into a world like the Primordial Era, the rewards would be even greater.

After some deduction, the potential crisis of this matter at most involves the resurgence of the gods and demons of fate, and will not have a significant impact on Yang Xuan.

Based on the situation of the Soul Gods and Demons, and the ancient secrets he learned from the Goddess Houtu over the years, Yang Xuan had gained some understanding of the Chaos Gods and Demons.

Beings like saints and chaotic gods and demons cannot be completely killed.

Especially the Chaos Gods and Demons, these Primordial Golden Immortals, even if the primordial world is destroyed, they will not die completely. At most, they will fall into a deep sleep, just like the three thousand gods and demons back then.

Even if the great god Pangu and others intervened, they could only put them into a deep sleep, and there would be a chance for them to revive in the future.

Even if they can recover, they cannot immediately possess the cultivation level of a saint; it will take a long time for them to restore their cultivation.

Moreover, they all died under the axe of the great god Pangu, and there is a huge karmic connection between them. Even if they can be resurrected, they must act carefully and eliminate the karmic ties.

Otherwise, the great god Pangu might also be able to use this cause and effect to return from the unknown state and kill them all again.

Yang Xuan possesses a vast amount of merit and is blessed with great fortune. He also has karmic connections with many saints of the prehistoric world.

Knowing that sages could reenact the Great Dao in chaos, Yang Xuan realized that these things were also protective charms in chaos.

Even if Yang Xuan were to run wild and act arrogantly towards the two Western Saints, they might not dare to kill him.

As for the three thousand gods and demons from back then, even if some of them have been resurrected and are lurking in the chaos plotting against the primordial world, they wouldn't be so foolish as to go looking for trouble with Yang Xuan, who is full of thorns.

Whatever they may be planning, for someone of their level, a mere Quasi-Saint cannot affect the overall situation at all.

If we were to be exposed because of a quasi-saint, it would be a great loss.

The best outcome of killing Yang Xuan would be that the Primordial World would mark them, allowing the Sages like Houtu to sense it. In the future, they would be unable to enter the Primordial World, and would likely be discovered as soon as they got close.

In the worst-case scenario, this could trigger a chain reaction, causing the great god Pangu to revive.

If that were to happen, they might have to die again.

Furthermore, even if the Destiny Compass is not the true form of the Destiny God and Demon, it is definitely an important spiritual treasure of the Destiny God and Demon.

If the gods and demons of fate have been revived, it is impossible not to retrieve them.

As for whether the God of Destiny could not find the Destiny Plate, that was simply impossible. Even an incomplete Destiny Plate could guide Yang Xuan here, so how could the God of Destiny not find it?

After figuring these things out, Yang Xuan realized that as long as he didn't do something reckless and knowingly ventured into the search for the remnants of spiritual roots despite the risks, he wouldn't encounter any insurmountable dangers.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to hesitate about.

Yang Xuan immediately made a decision: using the ancient star tree as the cause and the remnants of the spiritual root as the effect, he would create a thread of destiny to search for the things scattered throughout the primordial world.

Perhaps the Destiny Wheel will be taken away by the God of Destiny in the future, but for now, the Destiny Wheel is still in his hands and can be used by him, so he should make full use of it.

As long as you can play your due role during this period, even if you are ultimately taken away by the gods and demons of fate, it won't be a loss.

With the guidance of the Fate Chart, Yang Xuan was like having a clearly visible map in the midst of chaos.

Although this map is not 100% accurate, it sometimes contains errors, such as disconnection midway or failure to find the spirit root remnant upon reaching the destination.

But Yang Xuan was not disappointed. After all, the Fate Plate was severely damaged. Being able to create a Fate Line in the chaos was already beyond the capabilities of a Quasi-Saint.

Even without finding any remnants of spiritual roots, the mere fact that the Great Dao of Destiny was being reenacted in the chaos was enough to greatly benefit Yang Xuan, giving him a deeper understanding of the Great Dao of Destiny.

Besides, it's not like you'll fail every time.

Based on the timeline of the Starry Sky Ancient Tree Great World, over the past two hundred thousand years, Yang Xuan has found the remains of seven Chaos Spiritual Roots.

Unfortunately, these remains weren't as lucky as the ancient star tree; they didn't even retain a last glimmer of life, becoming lifeless objects.
The world they evolved into was utterly silent.

For the Starry Sky Ancient Tree, this was enough. After absorbing these remnants of spiritual roots, the Starry Sky Ancient Tree's origin grew stronger, and the world it evolved from also expanded further.

Today, the Starry Sky Ancient Tree has reached about half of its peak glory, and the world it has evolved is larger than any other Great Thousand World in the Primordial Era, and the Great Dao it contains is more perfect.

Furthermore, this is a world that evolved from the Great Thousand Worlds to the Primordial World, and its structure is not yet perfect. It is easier to comprehend the Great Dao here, but it is difficult to comprehend it to a high level.

The Great Dao it inherently possesses is fixed, its upper limit is limited, and it certainly cannot be like the primordial world.

If it's for beginners, it's far beyond what the primordial era can offer.

If Yang Xuan wants to perfect the Heavenly Evolution Calculator, he needs to be familiar with all three thousand Great Daos, and this world just happens to meet this requirement.

As for those desolate worlds, Yang Xuan refined them into his sleeve world, greatly enhancing this great divine power that had stagnated for many years.

Leaving aside Yang Xuan's current Quasi-Saint cultivation level, the multiple annihilation spaces within his sleeve alone are beyond the reach of even a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Even a Quasi-Saint might not be able to escape from them.

If Yang Xuan were to mobilize the power of the surrounding world, he would be at least 90% certain that he could trap the Quasi-Saint here and kill him.

In addition, through refining the Silent World and observing the evolution of the Starry Sky Ancient Tree over the years, Yang Xuan has gained more insights into the Great Dao of Space and has more ideas about how to create the world.

"It's about time we went back."

The condition of the Starry Sky Ancient Tree has stabilized, and Yang Xuan doesn't know how much time has passed since the beginning of time, so there's no need for him to stay here indefinitely.

Therefore, Yang Xuan left behind an avatar in this world to comprehend the Great Dao, while his true body flew back to the Primordial World in a beam of light...
