Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 235 Reflections on Fate

The golden light curtain in the sky completely dissipated!

The oppressive aura that had enveloped the Douluo Continent for several days receded like a tide.

However, the entire continent did not find any relief; instead, it fell into an unprecedented state of deathly silence.

The list of the top ten cultivation techniques and secret skills is like a brand, etched into the hearts of every Soul Master.

Beidou Academy swept the top five spots, with Lu Xiao alone occupying the first and second positions.

The novice Grand Destiny Technique crushed the perfected Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique, reaching the top spot.

Take control of the river of destiny, and understand the rise and fall of all things!
Such power has exceeded the limits of everyone's understanding in the Douluo Continent.

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong slowly sat back on the papal throne, the shock in her eyes still lingering, replaced by an indescribable complexity.

Her fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest, producing a dull sound; each tap seemed to be questioning her own fate.

fate.

These two words were too heavy for her.

He joined the Spirit Hall as a child, awakened twin martial souls, was bullied by Qian Xunji, and personally killed his master...

Her entire life was a struggle in the mire of fate.

She hated her fate and everything the Spirit Hall had imposed on her.

When Bibi Dong saw the words "Great Destiny Technique" on the sky, an uncontrollable longing welled up in her heart.

If... if she could master this supernatural power!
Does that mean I can rewrite my destiny?

Could she go back in time and change those experiences that caused her a lifetime of pain?

But this thought only lasted for a moment before she extinguished it in her heart.

She looked at the label on the sky that read "Lu Xiao has not yet mastered the basics," and a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips.

Who is Lu Xiao?

He is the man with god-level combat power who can rival a god-king.

It is the being who possesses the supernatural power of living as long as heaven and earth.

Even he couldn't grasp the basics of the Great Destiny Technique, so what right did I have to aspire to it?

"That's all..."

Bibi Dong muttered to herself, her voice tinged with weariness.
"Beidou Academy has already become so powerful, what difference would it make if it taught another Great Destiny Technique?"

Her gaze drifted out the window, towards the direction of Wuhun City, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Her goal was once to overthrow the Spirit Hall and rule the Douluo Continent.

But now, faced with the formidable challenge of Beidou Academy, her ambition seems utterly laughable.

Ghost and Moon Gate stood on either side, heads bowed, not daring to even breathe.

Their hearts were also filled with turbulent emotions.

The power to control destiny!
This is no longer the realm of power; this is truly invincible power!
"Your Majesty the Pope..."

Ghost hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Beidou Academy is so powerful, what... what should we do next?"

Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, her voice tinged with helplessness: "What else can we do? Lie low."

"Pass down the order: all expansion plans of the Spirit Hall must be halted. Without my command, no one is to provoke anyone from the Beidou Academy."

She knew very well that the Spirit Hall was now like an ant in front of the Beidou Academy.

If she angered Lu Xiao, he could kill her and the entire Spirit Hall with a single thought.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei trembled and quickly bowed to accept the order.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"

They knew how unwilling Bibi Dong was to make this decision.

But they also knew that this was the only option.

……

Poseidon Island.

Poseidon stood before the temple, letting the sea breeze tousle her long hair. Her gaze was fixed on the distant horizon, her eyes showing no fear, only a sense of relief.

fate.

Her fate was once firmly bound by the sea god. She was the sea god's high priest.

Her entire life was dedicated to waiting for the successor of the sea god to appear, to open the divine position for him, and then to sacrificing her own life.

It was an inescapable fate, so heavy that it made it hard for her to breathe.

But not long ago, the reward that descended from the sky allowed her to break free from this fate.

She obtained a fortuitous opportunity from the heavens and became a true god-level powerhouse.

It is no longer the grand offering that can only wait for sacrifices.

Therefore, Poseidon was not too shocked when she saw the Great Fate Spell.

Instead, there was a sense of mutual understanding and relief.

"Taking control of the river of destiny..."

Poseidon muttered to himself, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"So, such power really does exist in this world."

Her gaze turned toward the direction of Beidou Academy, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

Lu Xiao is indeed unfathomable.

"Big offering."

Seahorse Douluo walked slowly over, his face full of solemnity. "The Beidou Academy has mastered such heaven-defying divine power. How should we, Seagod Island, conduct ourselves?"

Poseidon shook her head, her voice calm: "No need to put yourself in this position. Beidou Academy is not a bloodthirsty group, and their goal is certainly not to rule the Douluo Continent."

"We just need to do our job well and protect Poseidon Island, and that will be enough."

She knew very well that with Lu Xiao's strength, ruling the Douluo Continent was just a matter of a single thought.

But he didn't do that!

This shows that the other party's vision far exceeded their expectations.

Seahorse Douluo paused for a moment, then nodded, the seriousness in his eyes fading considerably.

……

Haotian Sect.

Tang Chen sat cross-legged atop the mountain, gripping an ancient hammer tightly in his hand. His gaze was fixed on the sky, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Shock, envy, resentment, and a sense of relief.

He lived for hundreds of years, spending his entire life pursuing the pinnacle of power.

He once thought that his Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was the strongest offensive technique in the Douluo Continent.

But now, in the face of the Great Destiny Technique, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique seems so insignificant.

fate.

His fate, too, was filled with regret.

Back then, he went to the City of Slaughter, wanting to inherit the position of the Asura God, but he was bewitched by the power of the Rakshasa God and fell into the abyss of slaughter.

He missed the chance to become a god, and he also missed the possibility of staying with Poseidon.

If... if he could master the Great Destiny Technique, could he rewrite that history?
Does that mean I can become the Asura God and stand shoulder to shoulder with Poseidon?

But this idea was ultimately just wishful thinking.

"Under the sway of fate, all living beings are but ants..."

Tang Chen repeated the sentence in a low voice, a hint of bitterness flashing in his eyes.

"It turns out that my life is nothing more than a grain of sand in the long river of fate."

Tang Xiao stood behind him, looking at his grandfather's lonely figure, his heart filled with heartache.

He wanted to offer comfort, but didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Tang Chen slowly stood up, threw the hammer in his hand to Tang Xiao, and said calmly, "The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, let the disciples of the sect practice it well, and tell them that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people."

"If you want to become stronger, you can't just focus on the sect's heritage; you have to look to the whole world."
