A single divination predicts life and death; the entire internet begs me to start a live stream.

boom--!

The entire atrium suddenly sank downwards, causing tens of thousands of people to lose their balance at the same time.

"ah--!"

The screams instantly pierced through the six-story atrium.

Someone fell down.

Someone collapsed onto the stretcher.

The mother holding the child knelt down on the ground and hugged the child tightly in her arms.

"Don't push!"

"Don't push from behind!"

"Earthquake!"

The chandelier high up was swaying wildly.

Glass from the first to the third floor was falling like rain.

Before the crowd could even recover...

Click—!

A load-bearing column in the atrium.

It cracked.

A black crack rapidly climbed upwards from the bottom.

Half a meter.

one meter.

Two meters!

"The pillar is cracked!"

"The building is going to collapse!"

This sound ignited panic.

The crowd on the periphery instinctively rushed towards the exit.

Police officers and firefighters desperately spread their arms to block it.

"Don't run!"

"Don't push!"

"A child has fallen!"

Cries, screams, and shouts for help filled the air in a chaotic cacophony.

Luo Shouzhou didn't even look at that pillar.

He stared intently at the ground.

The twelve cracks that were originally spreading outwards.

It's moving.

One.

Two.

Three...

Like twelve snakes that had smelled blood, they simultaneously bent towards Chen Bufan and the Everlasting Life Lamp.

"Chen Bufan!"

Luo Shouzhuo suddenly looked up.

It's too late.

Swish-!

The shadows of thousands of people in the courtyard.

It is stretched at the same time!

The person didn't move.

The shadow suddenly slid towards the crack.

"ah!!!"

A woman was the first to scream.

She clung tightly to her husband's arm.

But the shadow beneath my feet.

Half of his body was already outside the crack.

"husband!"

"It's pulling me!"

"My shadow went inside!"

A man nearby was so frightened that he frantically backed away.

But he took a step back.

The shadow, instead, went a little further into the crack.

"What's going on?!"

"I'm moving backwards!"

"Why is it still going in?!"

A little girl looked down and saw her own shadow.

It was being dragged away from its feet little by little.

I cried heartbreakingly.

"Mother!"

"My shadow doesn't want me anymore!"

The mother rushed over.

She held the child tightly in her arms.

"Won't!"

"Mom's here!"

"Mommy's holding you!"

But her own shadow was also sliding into the crack.

Further away.

An old man who had just been awakened by an ever-burning lamp.

The shadow had completely fallen into the crack.

Only a hand-shaped black shadow remained.

They were still clinging to the ground.

next second.

Swish!

Gone.

The old man's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes instantly lost their luster, and he fell straight backward.

"dad!"

"doctor!"

"He's failing again!"

This scene.

It drove everyone in the neighborhood crazy.

"Don't let the shadow in!"

"Towards the light!"

"Master Chen!"

"Help!"

"Master Chen, please save my child!"

The order that was barely maintained just now.

It collapsed in an instant.

Everyone wanted to get closer to that lamp.

Thousands of people squeezed towards the center.

Lin Wanqing's expression changed drastically.

"Stop!"

"Don't push forward!"

"Don't trample!"

"People will die!"

Dozens of police officers and firefighters stood hand in hand to block the crowd.

But the cries and screams kept coming in, one after another.

"Let me through!"

"My shadow is about to disappear!"

Please!

"My son is inside!"

Some people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

Some people were desperately kowtowing to the ever-burning lamp.

Someone is relentlessly stepping on their own shadow.

It's like as long as you step on it, you won't be dragged away.

Chen Bufan suddenly looked up.

"Don't move!"

The sound boomed through the courtyard.

next second.

The wound on his palm reopened, gushing bright red blood, and he slammed his palm onto the ever-burning life lamp.

boom!

The Record of Destiny unfolds on its own.

A burst of white light erupted from the pages of the book!

The flame had already been reduced to a tiny bit.

It suddenly rose half a meter.

call--!

Warm yellow firelight.

Centered on Chen Bufan, they swept across the entire central courtyard.

Those shadows are frantically sliding into the crack.

They all paused.

Tens of thousands of people bowed their heads at the same time.

All that could be seen were elongated, torn, and half-buried in the cracks.

They were frozen in place by the lights.

Chen Bufan pressed his five fingers against the lamp base.

The veins on the back of his hand bulged out little by little.

"Nobody run away!"

"Stand in the light!"

"The shadow is still there."

"People just can't die!"

A single sentence brought the crowd, which was on the verge of spiraling out of control, to a dramatic halt.

Available in the next second.

The third basement level.

clang--!

The metallic sound rang out again.

The Dingshan Pan in Luo Shouzhuo's hand suddenly trembled.

Om-!

The black mountain needle in the plate suddenly pressed down.

It's not a turn.

Instead, it felt like being pulled down from the ground by something.

a little.

a little.

It sank to the bottom of the plate.

Luo Shouzhou looked down for two seconds.

The carefree smile on his face slowly disappeared.

"The land has lost its roots."

Luo Tiancheng frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Luo Shouzhou did not explain.

He simply handed the Dingshan Plate to him.

"come over."

"what?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Luo Tiancheng had just approached.

Luo Shouzhou had already raised his hand and pointed to the plate.

"Twelve Mountains."

Luo Tiancheng lowered his head.

His expression changed slightly.

"They're all being collected towards the central palace."

"Earth Needle".

"Falling."

"Mountain Needle".

Luo Tiancheng stared intently at the center.

That thick, heavy black needle.

It's almost pushed into the bottom of the plate.

"It's sinking too."

Luo Shouzhou nodded slowly.

"remember."

"The twelve mountains return to the center."

"The ground needle is out of place."

"Mountain needle pressing down at the bottom."

"This is called losing one's roots."

boom--!

The voice just fell.

The entire complex suddenly sank down again.

Screams erupted instantly.

The twelve fissures in the central courtyard once again approached the Everlasting Life Lamp.

The thousands of shadows that had just been suppressed by Chen Bufan.

It was pulled out another half foot in a flash!

The eternal life lamp dimmed suddenly.

Chen Bufan pressed down on the lamp base with his palm, and the white light of the "Destiny Record" suddenly spread out.

They forcefully nailed down those souls that were being stripped away.

Luo Shouzhou glanced at it, didn't even light the cigarette, and just put it in his mouth.

"First, nail it in place."

Luo Tiancheng was taken aback.

"How do I nail it?"

Luo Shouzhou held the Dingshan Pan in his palm.

Take a step forward barefoot.

"Don't think about how to decide yet."

"Learn to listen first."

"What are you listening to?"

"land."

Luo Tiancheng's lips twitched.

"Can the earth talk?"

Luo Shouzhu lightly touched the ground with his toes.

"Or who do you think a feng shui master listens to?"

boom!

One kick fell.

The Dingshanpan suddenly resounded.

Twenty-four mountains lit up simultaneously!

"Start half an inch from the Gen position."

Luo Tiancheng immediately lowered his head.

The northeast [Gen] position indeed rose slightly.

"The Kun position is three parts heavy."

The southwest [Kun] position then dimmed.

"Leaving the void."

"Kanluan."

"The third load-bearing column of the Zhen Palace is tilted."

Luo Tiancheng listened intently.

His expression became increasingly strange.

Luo Shouzhou didn't even look at the charts, and didn't even lower his head.

He always spoke up about every change on the mountain plate before Luo Tiancheng.

How did you see that?

"Who told you I was watching?"

Luo Shouzhou cursed.

"Press the left hand on the mountain."

"Right hand clasps Kun."

"The central palace remains unmoved."

"quick!"

Luo Tiancheng immediately got to work.

Press down on the Gen position with your left palm.

He slammed his right hand down on the edge of the plate.

Om-!

Both the Gen and Kun palaces return to their proper positions simultaneously.

Ahead lies a crack that continues to widen.

It stopped abruptly!

Wang Tianhao stood to the side.

My eyes were glued to the screen.

"Uncle Luo, do you have eyes in the back of your head?"

Luo Shouzhuo didn't even turn his head.

"It's better than using your eyes."

"What?"

"genius."

Wang Tianhao:

"..."

Luo Tiancheng:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Next step!"

Luo Shouzhuo's lips curled into a smile.

"Three inches to the southwest."

Ding!

A coin for good luck landed on the ground.

"East Three".

Ding!

"Beiqi."

Ding!

"West 9".

Ding!

Luo Shouzhuo reported his position.

Luo Tiancheng dropped the money.

At first, it takes a bit longer.

Up to the seventh one.

Luo Shouzhuo had just opened his mouth.

The money for calming the mind has already been spent.

Ding!

Accurately nail it into the corresponding position.

The eleventh one fell.

Luo Shouzhuo's eyes changed slightly.

At last.

He had just opened his mouth.

"Hai—"

Ding!

The twelfth coin, meant to stabilize the qi, has already spun and fallen into the crack in the ground.

The position of 【亥】 (Hai).

Suddenly bright!

Twelve coins for maintaining stability.

The twelve directions.

It reverberated at the same time.

Om-!

The central courtyard has twelve wildly expanding cracks.

They all paused.

The cracks on the surface of the load-bearing column no longer spread upwards.

Two fire escape routes that had just disappeared reappeared on the wall.

"The passage is back!"

"quick!"

"Evacuate the elderly and children first!"

Firefighters and police immediately began directing the crowd.

The Dingshan Compass in Luo Shouzhou's hand suddenly trembled again.

The market has changed.

The ancient compass, which originally contained only the twelve earthly branches and twenty-four mountains, unfolds outward layer by layer.

First floor.

Load-bearing structure.

The second layer.

Underground water veins.

The third layer.

Fire escape route.

Fourth floor.

Twelve commercial districts.

The fifth floor.

crowd.

The sixth floor.

Those living souls that are constantly converging towards the eternal lamp of life.

The entire interior of Hengtai.

It was pressed layer by layer into a plate the size of a palm.

Luo Tiancheng's pupils contracted sharply.

"This is what it means..."

"Dingshanpan?"

Luo Shouzhou glanced at him indifferently.

"Or what?"

"They really think it's something passed down from their ancestors for over a thousand years."

"Is it to find a grave for you?"

It turns out that the so-called "fixing a mountain" is never just about fixing a single vein of earth.

Inside a building.

Which load-bearing column is under stress, which water vein has shifted, which passage has disappeared, which group of people is moving, and even where the souls are going.

It's all mountains.

It's all about momentum.

Luo Shouzhou suddenly said:

"Zhen position".

Luo Tiancheng immediately checked the market.

"wrong."

"It's not a tremor."

He squinted.

"Someone from the opposite palace is stalling."

Luo Shouzhou paused for half a second.

"Then how do we land?"

Luo Tiancheng held the money between his two fingers.

Raise your hand.

call out!

The stabilizing energy did not fall towards the Zhen position.

Instead, it was nailed into the Dui Palace.

boom!

In the distance, a commercial area has shifted by half a foot.

It bounced back to its original position.

Luo Shouzhou smiled.

"OK."

"Finally, they're starting to look more like the Luo family."

Just that one sentence.

Luo Tiancheng paused for a moment, then grinned.

"That's who I am."

"Don't push your luck."

"..."

Luo Shouzhou looked at the compass again.

The smile on his face slowly faded.

Inside, things are stable.

There is a black line around the outermost edge of the mountain plate.

It didn't stop.

It's even happening at an even faster pace.

The central palace collapsed.

Luo Shouzhou reached out and gently turned the plate.

The black line continues to tighten.

Luo Tiancheng saw it too.

"What is this?"

"Foreign markets"

"Foreign markets?"

Luo Shouzhuo raised his head.

The gaze moves beyond the shopping mall and down to the glass curtain wall.

"This eye."

"I don't just want to eat in this one building."

Luo Tiancheng followed his gaze.

outside.

Flooding on the road in the distance.

It is flowing against the slope.

The manhole cover on the street vibrated slightly.

Several buildings further away.

The earth's energy is gradually drawing closer to Hengtai.

Luo Tiancheng's expression changed.

"Is it dragging the entire block?"

"Um."

Luo Shouzhou lowered his head.

I glanced at the plate in my hand.

Then.

He unscrewed the flask, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp, the liquor flowing down his chin and into his hospital gown.

"Now..."

He smacked his lips.

"This is really troublesome."

Done.

He then pulled out the last crumpled cigarette from his soaked hospital gown.

He put it in his mouth and pressed the lighter.

No luck.

The second time.

Still no luck.

the third time.

Snapped.

A flame appeared.

Luo Shouzhuo lowered his head and lit a cigarette.

I took a deep breath.

Wait for the smoke to be exhaled.

Instead, I calmed down.

"Perfect in the eye of the beholder".

Luo Tiancheng suddenly looked up.

I paused for a moment.

So many years.

Luo Shouzhou rarely called him that.

He's not usually a "brat".

It is "Luo Tiancheng".

The fact that he calmly called out "Tiancheng" made his heart skip a beat for no reason.

"what?"

"come over."

Luo Tiancheng frowned and walked over.

Luo Shouzhou did not explain.

He just lowered his head.

The fingertips trace the edge of the Dingshan Pan (a type of ancient Chinese compass).

I slowly wiped it all around.

It's like saying goodbye to an old friend who has been with you for many years.

"This thing."

"The Luo family has been passed down for over a thousand years."

Luo Tiancheng looked at him.

"I know."

"You know nothing."

Luo Shouzhou muttered a curse under his breath, his tone devoid of any smile.

"I let you touch me when I was little."

"Use it to prop up the table legs."

Luo Tiancheng's lips twitched.

"That was so many years ago—"

"Shut up."

Luo Shouzhuo looked at the plate.

How are the twelve mountains determined?

How to read the ground needle?

How to divert water from the inlet?

What does "山针压底" mean?

"These years."

"It's my responsibility to teach you."

"I've already taught them."

The more Luo Tiancheng listened, the more uneasy he felt.

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Luo Shouzhou didn't answer, but just looked up at him for a few seconds.

next moment.

Raise your hand.

Dingshanpan was thrown directly over.

"then."

Holy crap!

Luo Tiancheng instinctively reached out with both hands to catch it.

boom!

He put the plate into his bosom.

His arms suddenly sank down.

The floor tiles underfoot.

click!

Two fine cracks immediately appeared.

Luo Tiancheng ignored it completely, holding the Dingshan Plate and staring blankly at his father.

"What are you giving me?"

Luo Shouzhou had already turned around.

Walk out of the mall.

He simply waved his hand.

"predict with confidence."

"Don't fall again."

Luo Tiancheng was stunned.

"after?"

Luo Shouzhou did not turn around.

"Things belonging to the Luo family."

"It's in your hands now."

"You better hold on tight."

"Don't try to be a hero in the future."

"Think things through before you act."

"If you really encounter a situation that you can't control."

"Run if you can."

Luo Tiancheng's expression changed little by little.

"besides."

Luo Shouzhou had a cigarette in his mouth.

Keep going.

"From now on, stop talking about the Southern Luo family in public."

"Shameful."

"You're really capable."

"Everyone knows even if I don't say it."

Luo Tiancheng stood still.

He didn't make a sound.

The plate in my arms.

It was passed on to him.

They should be taught.

That concludes the lecture.

Even how to be a person in the future.

They've confessed everything.

Luo Shouzuo.

One's life force is almost completely depleted.

A person with IV tape still on their hand.

I'm alone right now.

Go to the outer area, which is larger than the inside of the mall.

Luo Tiancheng looked down at Dingshanpan.

He looked up again.

I looked at that figure from behind.

Brain.

With a buzzing sound.

wrong.

This is not a disk transfer.

This is someone making arrangements for their funeral!

"Luo Shouzhou".

no response.

"Luo Shouzhou!"

Luo Tiancheng's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"You fucking stop right there!"

Luo Shouzhou paused for a moment.

He didn't turn around.

Luo Tiancheng held the Dingshan Plate tightly, staring intently at him.

Give me the plate.

"You're just spouting a bunch of nonsense."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Shouzhou remained silent.

This silence made Luo Tiancheng panic.

"Your life force is almost completely depleted!"

"They rushed over from the hospital before the needle was even fully removed!"

"They just forcefully suppressed the earth's energy again!"

"Now they've even given me the disc!"

Luo Tiancheng spoke faster and faster, his voice becoming increasingly urgent.

"Did you already have this planned out?"

Leave the things to me.

"Leave the Luo family to me."

"And then you go out and risk your life betting on foreign markets?!"

Luo Shouzhou finally turned back.

I glanced at him.

No denial.

He simply took the cigarette out of his mouth.

He gently flicked off the cigarette ash.

"Perfect in the eye of the beholder".

These two words again.

Luo Tiancheng's eyes immediately turned red.

"Don't call me that."

Luo Shouzhuo was taken aback.

"You always call me so seriously."

"Nothing good ever comes of it."

Luo Shouzhou's lips twitched as if he wanted to laugh, but in the end he didn't.

He simply said:

"after--"

"There will be no future!"

Luo Tiancheng roared out.

"I don't want to hear about the future!"

Luo Shouzhou looked at him for a few seconds.

Finally, he turned around.

keep going.

"Take the plate."

Three words.

This completely extinguished any remaining hope Luo Tiancheng had.

"Luo Shouzhou!"

It didn't stop.

"Old man!"

It still hasn't stopped.

Luo Tiancheng's lips trembled slightly.

next second.

The sound suddenly cracked.

"dad!"

Luo Shouzhuo.

Stop.

Luo Tiancheng himself froze for a moment.

Her eyes were already red.

"dad……"

Second tone.

Even more mute.

"Come back."

Luo Shouzhou did not move.

Luo Tiancheng's chest heaved violently.

"The building is going to sink."

"Let's bet together."

There's a problem outside.

Let's think about it together.

"These 10,000 people need to be saved."

"I'll help you save them."

"I can learn how to play the game."

"I can also suppress the formation."

"Don't give me that 'one life for ten thousand' nonsense."

He spoke at the end.

It was almost like begging.

I grew up without a mother.

"So many years."

"Just you."

The cigarette in Luo Shouzhou's hand.

It slowly burns down to your fingertips.

He seemed oblivious.

Luo Tiancheng stared intently at his retreating figure.

"You really put yourself in that situation."

"What should I do?"

"When I want to go home in the future..."

The sound is stuck.

Several seconds passed.

He managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"Where do you want me to go back to?"

Luo Shouzhou's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

Luo Tiancheng gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot and frightening.

next second.

His voice hardened again.

"Luo Shouzhou!"

"You come back here!"

"The plate belongs to the Luo family."

"Your life is your own."

"Pack up all the missing codes and give them to me!"

"Keep this for yourself and teach me!"

"Wait until today is over."

"You can curse me all you want."

"I'll smoke if I want to."

"But today—"

Luo Tiancheng held onto the Dingshan Pan tightly.

"You dare risk your life to fill this hole?"

"You're here with me."

"They'll never be heroes!"
