destiny eternal calamity

A few days later, all the challengers were defeated and subdued by Ji Youguang.

The promised reward from Ji Youguang was also delivered: a large amount of silver and jade.

Li Wei gave most of the jade artifacts to Zhong Kuiying, asking her to take them back to Kunlun.

Then the silver was deposited into the system, totaling 93,000 taels.

It can only be said that the productivity of this era was just so-so. With this much, Ji Youguang had probably already emptied the national treasury, and Li Wei could no longer squeeze it.

However, seeing those exquisite jade artifacts, he came up with a good idea.

He used the few hundred taels of silver he had left over from the top-up to buy dozens of weapons, which he soaked in a bronze box filled with oil. He also put a dozen or so jade artifacts that he had previously kept inside.

Run to the countryside outside Zhuolu City and note down the surrounding environmental features and relative locations.

Finally, the bronze was melted with pure Yang energy, the opening was completely sealed, and it was buried more than ten meters underground.

Seeing that he had finished both his official and personal business, Li Wei did not linger. He led Zhong Kuiying to the agreed-upon place and summoned the Black Water Serpent that had been floating in the sky.

The two men and the snake returned to Kunlun under the cover of night.

"Brother, what is the Immortal Realm like?"

Zhong Kuiying did not know Li Wei's true origins; she had only heard that he came from the Immortal Realm.

She asked her adoptive mother, and what she got was the story of the son of an old friend that Zhong Kui Yao Hua had made up before.

Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Li Wei grew up in the celestial realm.

Li Wei remained silent.

After all, he really couldn't say it.

"There are thirty-three layers in the sky. If you have no power or influence and are not strong enough, you can only live on the bottom layer."

"The scenery at the bottom is very monotonous. Apart from the bare black mountains, there are various mines. It's very boring. You also have to work in the mines. It's even worse than the mortal world."

The black water snake beneath their feet couldn't help but speak.

He wasn't a low-level miner before, but an inspector at a certain mine. That celestial mine was a resource point of the Queen Mother of the West's tribe.

Later, because the Queen Mother of the West failed in her struggle for the throne, he also fled to the mortal world.

The War God Elephant he swallowed was the governor of that immortal mine.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother of the West didn't take the matter too seriously, which allowed him to continue living his life in Kunlun.

"The Milky Way shines in the sky, and its light is ever-present." Li Wei gazed at the Milky Way in the sky and murmured softly.

"Brother, what does this poem mean?"

"Whether it is the celestial realm or the mortal world, it is filled with countless injustices and oppressions, but the Milky Way in the sky does not care about these. As long as you look, it is there, as brilliant as ever."

"Are there stars in the Immortal Realm too?" Zhong Kuiying asked curiously.

"Of course, but only those at the top can see it," the Blackwater Serpent replied.

He was now even more convinced that Li Wei was an immortal from the upper realm.

Little did they know that Li Wei deduced, through the existence of the "Upper Star Lord," that the celestial realm could also observe the stars.

Upon returning to Kunlun Palace, Zhong Kuiying turned back to look at Li Wei, who was about to enter his room, before stepping onto the stairs.

"Brother, I have mastered the 'Return to Nothingness' technique."

"Oh, I see," Li Wei replied casually.

Zhong Kuiying watched him close the door, and only after a long while did she turn and leave.

After entering the room, Li Wei opened the panel and looked at the recharge point balance of 120200 without hesitation.

After deducting 84000 recharge points (a 30% discount), all five fifth-tier internal skills were upgraded to the perfect state.

He then sat cross-legged and practiced breathing exercises, compressing his inner energy and filling his dantian.

"It's about eleven thousand units." After sensing for a moment, Li Wei confirmed that his total amount of true energy had exceeded ten thousand units.

Unfortunately, his physical strength still did not reach the standard of the Void Realm – ten million jin.

But it should be soon.

The next day, Li Wei was summoned by Zhong Kui Yaohua to go to Langfeng Tower to report on the operation.

……

"Finally, Ji Youguang broke through the Heavenly Mandate and inherited the throne of the Human Emperor." After Li Wei finished speaking, he raised his head to see Zhong Kui Yaohua's reaction.

"You're saying that you and Ji Yuanhong both broke through the Void Realm boundary using only physical strength?"

Zhong Kui Yaohua was playing with the hilt of the broken sword that Li Wei had presented to her.

"Yes, I could sense a special aura of emptiness at that time," Li Wei said definitively.

"Humans are indeed a race with boundless potential." Zhong Kui Yao Hua sheathed her sword and looked out the window at the sky.

"I know what you're curious about."

"It is precisely because I know there is a demon that I have asked you to take Ying'er with you."

"But it seems like you two had a bit of a disagreement? Ying'er has been looking sullen all day, and when she heard you were coming, she immediately left."

"Mother, I think this kind of relationship is the right one. After all, Ying'er, she..." Li Wei couldn't help but say.

"Alright, that's enough. Your guess might not be correct. But things aren't necessarily a bad thing now."

Zhong Kui Yaohua sighed and waved Li Wei away.

Her observation was wrong again.

The general direction is fine, but when it comes to Li Wei, it's hard to see the future clearly.

It's probably due to the 'gravitational force of destiny' inherent in the chosen one.

This force of fate will forcibly alter the trajectories of everything that comes near him.

Since she descended to the mortal realm three thousand years ago and severed the passage between immortals and mortals, the immortal realm has been unable to send immortals of the supreme realm down to the mortal realm.

This time, she observed that a Celestial Venerable would descend to the mortal realm by diminishing the fortune of the human race, and of course she would not allow this to happen.

In fact, she had already investigated the cause and effect, and sent Li Wei and Zhong Kuiying to Zhuolu to deal with the matter in order to train them.

She had anticipated and observed that Li Wei and Zhong Kuiying would work together to defeat Ji Yuanhong, but she never expected that Li Wei would turn the tide alone by burning his life force.

The world line changed because of his thought in that instant.

If he hadn't cared about Zhong Kuiying's hesitation at that time, the two of them would still have teamed up together later.

The plot should develop in the direction observed.

The work is done on the top of the list.

Shaking off these jumbled thoughts, Zhong Kui Yaohua began to plan something else.

"Ying'er said she has already mastered the Wanfa Guixu Jin, so after a while, her physical strength should be able to accept the inheritance."

This happened much earlier than the observations suggested, indicating that Li Wei had once again altered Zhong Kuiying's life path.

In fact, Livy was involved in these events according to the original observations. However, in the real world, the development of these events that Livy was involved in differed somewhat from the predictions.

For example, in the teaching incident, what was originally observed was that Li Wei was an honest student, but in the end, he kept pretending to be weak while actually being strong, and slapped a bunch of seniors in the face, which made the human race and even the demon race on Kunlun pay attention to his method of the third stage of foundation building.

For example, in this case of the Emperor's rebellion, it was originally observed that Li Wei and Zhong Kuiying, brother and sister, worked together to defeat Ji Yuanhong.

Zhong Kui Yaohua thought about it and realized that the original plot seemed rather formulaic. From an outsider's perspective, all the parties involved looked like actors.

The actual events that followed seemed to align more closely with the logic of the real world.

If you're qualified to be a teacher, why pretend to be a student? Is it just to play dumb and take advantage of others?

If you're confident you can take down Ji Yuanhong on your own, why drag Zhong Kuiying into this mess? Is it just for the sake of a life-or-death friendship?

It's true that men and women working together can significantly increase how well they like each other.

However, Li Wei currently has no romantic feelings for Zhong Kuiying; in fact, he keeps his distance from her.

Therefore, the future she observed regarding this matter is illogical.

She used her supernatural powers to observe the future, as if she had obtained the script for a drama arranged by the heavens. However, when the drama was officially performed, Li Wei, this special actor, did not perform entirely according to the script.
