Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 113 A Fate Intertwined!

Zhu Ziyang pressed his brow against the third eye of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Then, the two of them, one human and one beast, locked eyes, and their bodies trembled violently.

A halo radiating strange fluctuations spread out from where they were close together, the distorted light instantly enveloping them. The bodies of the man and the beast, each emanating their own aura, intertwined and merged. Silver light emanated from Zhu Ziyang, while golden light emanated from the auspicious beast. These two distinct yet essentially identical lights shone and reflected each other, twinkling like stars, exchanging their information. With each interaction, the bodies of the man and the beast trembled.

Zhu Ziyang's right eye had now turned completely silver, with a mysterious silver light cascading out and uncontrollably flowing into the auspicious beast's right eye. Meanwhile, the beast's left eye emitted a noble golden light, which, carrying an intense aura of light, slowly invaded Zhu Ziyang's left eye, causing it to enlarge uncontrollably. The silver and golden light intertwined, like a realm where heaven and earth unite to give birth to life.

At this moment, within Zhu Ziyang's spiritual sea, the vast silver spiritual power was boiling, and specks of silver light appeared on the surface of the sea. On the sky above the sea, a golden star, completely different from the ultimate light, was faintly visible, scattering golden light that collided and merged with the silver light.

Inside the halo, the human and the beast seemed to have lived through countless ages, sharing each other's memories. However, outside the halo, time and space were frozen. The two Starry Unicorns closest to them stood silently, while fallen leaves hung in the air in the distance, eerie yet poignant.

"Buzz—Buzz—"

After an unknown amount of time, a layer of golden light burst forth from the halo, instantly sending Zhu Ziyang flying. The moment he separated from the auspicious beast, he snapped back to reality, quickly regaining his footing and leaping onto the back of the Great Starry Unicorn. Without hesitation, he urged, "Go!"

Everything outside had returned to normal. The Great Starry Unicorn, unaware of what had transpired between itself and the auspicious beast, only saw Zhu Ziyang and the beast touch foreheads before Zhu Ziyang was immediately launched onto its back. Upon hearing Zhu Ziyang's command to leave, the Great Starry Unicorn immediately took off, leaping past the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and running towards the auspicious beast. It couldn't wait to escape this source of danger!

The little Starry Unicorn followed closely behind its mother and ran off.

The three-eyed golden lion had a blank stare and a dazed expression. It didn't collapse to the ground until Zhu Ziyang and his group disappeared.

"How did you get here? Come back with me!" After some time, a giant dog with three heads appeared beside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, anxiously saying, "If Di Tian finds out, he will be furious."

"Alright!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not refuse and agreed. Her eyes were somewhat unfocused; today's events were too complicated for her, and she needed to calm down to process them.

She felt as if she had lost something, yet also gained something; an indescribable feeling lingered in her heart, and she really needed to sort it out and process it.

-

When the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was found, Zhu Ziyang had already run two kilometers away. With his 50,000-year cultivation, the Starry Unicorn could cover a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Ziyang sat comfortably on the back of the Starry Unicorn, his eyes closed, sorting through his somewhat chaotic memories and sea of ​​consciousness.

Zhu Ziyang had experienced the sudden appearance of a memory in his brain before, so this time he was quite familiar with it and quickly decomposed and absorbed the memory. The memory of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was very bland, consisting of nothing but forests, and oh, the appearances of some of the various beast kings.

He quickly digested the memory and began to organize his spiritual sea. Compared to the mythical beast's memory, Zhu Ziyang cared more about the changes in his spiritual power, spiritual sea, and other aspects.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Electrox stared dumbfounded at the space he had spent over a year in, feeling utterly alienated. Upon seeing Zhu Ziyang enter, he immediately went to greet him, asking, "Ziyang, what did you do? Why did so much power of destiny suddenly flood into your sea of ​​consciousness?"

"The power of destiny?" Zhu Ziyang was taken aback and immediately asked, "Teacher, what is the power of destiny?"

"Look, those gold and silver specks floating above this sea of ​​spirits are the power of destiny," Electrox said, pointing to the dense specks of light in Zhu Ziyang's sea of ​​spirits.

Zhu Ziyang naturally noticed these points of light as well. They were gold and silver, exuding a strange and unpredictable aura. He knew that the silver came from the Silver Dragon Wolf and the gold came from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but he didn't know what they were. After hearing the word "power of destiny" from Ilex, a vague concept arose in his mind.

"The so-called power of destiny is the most mysterious and powerful energy in the world. It comes from the Great Dao of Destiny and is the most fundamental law governing the operation of all things in the world. No living being can escape it, and the meaning of cultivation is to transcend its constraints. The power of destiny seems to have no effect; it cannot be cultivated, increased, or provided any benefit. However, without it, a complete life cannot be formed," Elex said, his tone filled with awe. "Every living being possesses the power of destiny, and the amount of the power of destiny possessed by each living being is equal. Hence the saying: Destiny is the fairest existence. However, there are always one or two special beings who seem to be favored by destiny and will receive the scattered power of destiny in the world. At that time, the massive amount of power of destiny will undergo a qualitative change after converging into fortune, and will begin to look after the living being that receives it. If this living being is human, then it will be called the Child of Fortune."

"The chosen one?!" Zhu Ziyang murmured, sensing something.

“That’s right, the Chosen One,” Electrox said. “The Chosen One inherits the fortune of heaven and earth, and their destiny will be different from ordinary people. They bear great fortune and great mission, and cannot be opposed. But I don’t know the specifics, after all, what I know is what the ancient masters of my world have summarized.”

"So, according to you, teacher, I am the chosen one?" Zhu Ziyang's expression was strange, a mixture of wanting to laugh but not being able to.

"No, your situation is completely different from that of a chosen one," Electrox shook his head and said. "Although the amount of destiny power within your sea of ​​consciousness is considerable, it is far from reaching the level of destiny. Moreover, it is merging with your sea of ​​consciousness, and even with your physical body. This is no longer destiny power. It's very strange."

"Uh..." Zhu Ziyang was a little confused, unable to understand what the power of fate was for a moment, so he could only say, "Teacher, they are harmless to me, right?"

"That's true," Electrolux said.

"Knowing this is enough. We'll find out what they are in the future. There's no need to worry about it now," Zhu Ziyang said, taking a very relaxed view.

"Hehe, I was too attached to appearances." Upon hearing this, Electrox immediately realized his mistake and said with a smile.

Having stopped obsessing over the nature of the gold and silver specks, Zhu Ziyang began to organize his mental space. He discovered that his mental sea had expanded considerably, by at least fifty percent of its previous size. The mental island remained largely unchanged, but its edge was now half gold and half silver, with the silver dragon wolf's soul crystal located on the silver side.

On Zhu Ziyang's almost transparent soul sky, the sun, shining with extreme light, seemed even more dazzling. The silver star on the right remained the same, but a brand new golden star had appeared on the left, attempting to connect with his left eye. Perhaps, once the golden star connected with his left eye, he would gain an ability no less powerful than his silver right eye.

After experiencing the intense light of the sun, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his affinity for the Light element had increased again, from exactly ninety points to ninety-five points. This was an unexpected delight. After reaching the pinnacle of attributes, every point of increase in elemental affinity was a huge leap forward.

He gained a new talent, and at the same time, his other talent, the Eye of Light, was transformed into the Heart of Righteousness. He no longer needed to concentrate his mind to perceive the attitudes of living beings towards him, whether good or evil. As for the new talent, Zhu Ziyang named it the Light of Righteousness. When used, it can extinguish the fighting spirit of any opponent, causing them to enter a state of sagehood, free from desires and worldly strife.
