Chapter 34 The Countercurrent of Fate

After a gust of cold wind, the weather suddenly turned cold, and then a heavy snow began to fall.

In a courtyard designed in the style of a Suzhou garden, Chu Ming stood under a Bodhi tree, his hands behind his back, exuding an ethereal aura, as if he had merged with the world around him.

The snow was still falling, covering the ground, but not a single snowflake touched Chu Ming. It was as if an invisible barrier surrounded him, blocking the wind and snow and preventing him from taking even half a step forward.

Chu Ming was dressed in all black, making him stand out in the snow, but what was most eye-catching was not his clothes, but his hair, which was a head of silver-white hair.

Prematurely gray hair!

The final battle of the top 100 in the martial arts tournament is now coming to an end. Chu Ming remains undefeated, and with a few more matches, he will be able to claim the title of the world's best.

The death of the Qilin Mask did not cause any ripples. No one from the evil forces came looking for Chu Ming, as if they had no idea that the Qilin Mask had been killed by Chu Ming. The Heavenly Venerable also did not appear and his whereabouts were unknown.

Compared to before he killed the Qilin Mask, Chu Ming's martial arts skills are now more unpredictable, and he seems to be undergoing a transformation akin to a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

On the system panel that only Chu Ming could see, martial arts such as Crystal Lotus Visualization, Jeet Kune Do, Supreme Yoga Secret, Dragon Elephant Seal, Bull Demon Skin Training Fist, Tiger Demon Bone Training Fist, Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique, and Primordial Elixir Method began to become blurry. At the same time, a cluster of question marks gradually became clearer on the system.

Chu Ming knew that the reason for this was that his martial arts were beginning to merge. Without external intervention, this would be a long process until all other martial arts disappeared, and only then would the question mark reveal its contents.

"Brother Chu, I've finally found you!" Just then, Wu Dalang's voice rang out. Compared to when they first met, Wu Dalang's martial arts skills had improved, and his blood and energy were even more vigorous.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Ming responded calmly.

Wu Dalang looked at Chu Ming. Even though it wasn't the first time he had seen Chu Ming act this way, he still couldn't suppress the turmoil in his heart.

Premature graying of hair is seen as a sign of premature aging by ordinary people, but in the eyes of martial arts masters, it is a way of conserving one's essence, energy, and spirit after comprehending the principles of life and death, in order to reduce the dissipation of vital energy.

This is an extremely profound method of cultivation, which cannot be mastered without reaching a certain level of physical and mental cultivation.

The time when Chu Ming's hair turned white at a young age was three days ago. Three days ago, Chu Ming was storing his essence in the furnace of the Boy's Skill, which is also the essence of the Boy's Skill, accumulating essence and spirit to achieve the Great Dao.

During his comprehension, Chu Ming had a sudden inspiration. He sensed that the weather was turning cold and the plants were withdrawing their vitality. He then combined this with alchemy and comprehended the method of withering and flourishing.

This method, combined with the essence stored within the Boy's Skill, completely contained Chu Ming's essence, energy, and spirit, without wasting a single bit. This change enhanced the effectiveness of Chu Ming's cultivation by three times.

In Wu Dalang's opinion, Chu Ming's growth was too fast, even cheating shouldn't be this fast. After all, even cheating in the multiverse has to follow basic rules.

By now, he couldn't understand at all how far Chu Ming had cultivated his Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

"Just now, the Yuan Emperor and the Divine Emperor fought. During the battle, the Yuan Emperor broke through and activated his consciousness, becoming a new human!" Wu Dalang said.

When he heard the news, he wasn't too surprised. He just thought that the protagonist's halo had finally erupted, a blatant cheat code that only the protagonist could receive.

In the original story, it was this world's number one martial arts tournament that allowed Emperor Yuan to accumulate invincible momentum, eventually breaking through numerous obstacles and ruling the world.

From the perspective of the contractors in the Nightmare Space, this is a crucial juncture in the destiny of a world, an irreversible trend.

Now that the supporting character Chu Ming has become stronger under the influence of the contractors, the protagonist has been directly enhanced by the power of the Fate Node in order to continue the torrent of fate.

"Just a new kind of human, it doesn't matter!"

Chu Ming responded, looked up at the sky, and saw countless snowflakes falling, the sky a dark abyss.

At this moment, Chu Ming suddenly sensed something that was hard to describe in words, but it was truly binding him.

However, as Chu Ming grew stronger, those constraints were gradually torn apart by him.

It was a wondrous thing, at an extremely high level. If Chu Ming hadn't been about to break free from it, and if the timing and circumstances hadn't been right, he wouldn't have been able to perceive it at all, given his current level of cultivation.

"A reversal of fate?!"

Suddenly, a word flashed through Chu Ming's mind.

……

"Captain, the tide of fate has been turned on, can Chu Ming win?" Long Yuan asked in the chat room of the extras team.

"Who knows? More than ten days ago, Chu Ming killed the Heavenly Demon of this world. In just ten days, I saw that his martial arts had improved again. It even gave me the illusion that the Torrent of Destiny had given Chu Ming a cheat code. As long as the Torrent of Destiny doesn't overturn the table and allow the Yuan Emperor to directly comprehend the Seventh Sense in battle, Chu Ming's chances of winning are still very high!"

Wu Dalang said.

"By the way, how far along is your relationship?"

"Everything is going smoothly. As planned, we have successfully persuaded the Chinese Taoist sect, the British Puritan Church, and the Holy Cross. Before long, we should be able to stage a future version of the six major sects besieging Bright Peak!" Long Yuan said.

"I must say, Chief Chen truly lived up to his reputation as a professional rebel; his skill in forming alliances and maneuvering has been an eye-opener!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Long! I'm flattered! I'm flattered!"

Chen Jinnan then spoke.

Knowing the plot is their biggest advantage. They know that in the plot, the Celestial Venerable is still in an ancient ruin and won't be coming out for a while.

In order to maximize the deviation of the plot, they directly contacted the forces behind the protagonist in the later stages of the story and used their prophetic abilities to deceive those forces.

Of course, Chen Jinnan played a huge role in this. As the former leader of the Heaven and Earth Society and the biggest rebel of that era, uniting all forces that could be united and inciting all people that could be incited was his old profession.

Although times have changed, it's still nothing more than enticing them with benefits and coercing them with threats. First, make those people understand the threat posed by the Celestial Venerable, and then let them know the benefits they can gain after eliminating the Celestial Venerable.

The Celestial Venerable has been invincible for far too long. If the Celestial Venerable's ascension project is completed, then everyone will probably be shrouded in the Celestial Venerable's shadow.

For contractors, going forward to fight to the death is always the most foolish choice. They are not there to maintain world peace, nor are they righteous allies. What they want is a plot twist. As long as the plot twists, they can profit.

Of course, this will also be subject to a force of fate correction. The final outcome will depend on whether the contractor or the torrent of fate has a better strategy.
