Chapter 163 The Changed Fate
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and approached Elder Xuan, saying, "Elder Xuan."
Elder Xuan, holding a chicken leg bone, stared at Huo Yuhao's head and said irritably, "You brat, you almost scared me to death! What was wrong with you just now?"
Huo Yuhao recounted his previous experience with a wry smile, and only then did Elder Xuan realize that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed to be somewhat innocent.
The three-eyed golden lion, imprisoned by Ye Nanxiao in an ice cage, raised its head and looked at Elder Xuan. Its three beastly eyes seemed to spit fire, and it opened its mouth to utter a cold female voice, "Human, how dare you hurt me! I will turn your fate into complete misfortune!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan raised an eyebrow, weighed the chicken leg bone in his hand, walked to the ice prison, and slapped the three-eyed golden lion on the head, cursing, "You really think you're some kind of imperial auspicious beast? You soul beasts are just born with the ability to influence the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You want to bring me endless bad luck? Believe me, I'll teach you a lesson right now!"
The three-eyed golden lion was clearly afraid of Elder Xuan, and moved its body closer to Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao stood in front of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, reached out and rubbed its head, and said to Elder Xuan, "Fate is something that cannot be influenced by one or two individuals. Besides, Elder Xuan, your own martial soul quality is extremely high. You can also sense that elusive power of fate to some extent, right?"
Seeing this, Elder Xuan threw away the chicken leg bone and said, "That's true, I could only sense a slight fluctuation myself. However, this soul beast seems quite friendly towards you. Have you met it before?"
Ye Nanxiao glanced instinctively to the lower left, then stroked his chin and said, "It might be because of my martial spirit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Xuan and the three little ones all turned their attention to Ye Nanxiao.
"If that's the case, then you fox are quite charming." Elder Xuan said with a strange expression. He remembered that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had spoken in a female voice before.
"Ye Fox, Ye Fox, remember to come along next time I'm looking for a spirit ring. Maybe then I won't need to look anymore, and the spirit beast will come to me on its own," Wang Dong said thoughtfully.
Elder Xuan beckoned to Huo Yuhao and called out, "Yuhao, come here."
Huo Yuhao glanced at Ye Nanxiao. He had sensed something was off about Ye Nanxiao when he walked over. His intuition told him that Ye Nanxiao seemed to be pitying the imperial beast.
"Yuhao, press your forehead against the forehead of this three-eyed golden lion." Elder Xuan took a sip of wine, pointed at the three-eyed golden lion, and said, "I will suppress it."
"No way, you dare!" The three-eyed golden lion panicked and shrank behind Ye Nanxiao.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Ye Nanxiao, who maintained his standard smile, and asked in confusion, "Elder Xuan, why is that?"
Elder Xuan smiled and said, "There is an ancient book in the academy that records that if an auspicious beast is present, all beasts will be protected, and its level will be supreme. Humans can guide it, and the auspiciousness will protect them, leading to a limitless future."
Looking at the panicked three-eyed golden lion, Elder Xuan said, "Although the auspicious beast is a soul beast, it may be able to absorb some of the auspicious energy. As for the benefits, you'll have to experience them for yourself."
Huo Yuhao naturally believed Elder Xuan's words without a doubt. He walked beside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and looked at its three beastly eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
The three-eyed golden lion beast looked at Ye Nanxiao with pleading eyes. Ye Nanxiao was the only one here who could help it, but would Ye Nanxiao risk exposing himself to save it?
Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to make a move, Elder Xuan approached the Three-Eyed Golden Lion first.
Just as Elder Xuan raised his hand to suppress the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with his soul power, pressing its head to the ground, Ye Nanxiao raised his hand to stop Huo Yuhao, "Wait a minute!"
"What? Don't you have a third eye?" Elder Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Although the ancient books say that it is possible to guide attributes, who knows if there will be any risks? I can extract the bloodline power from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body and let me try it. If it succeeds, it will be much safer." Ye Nanxiao maintained his smile and showed Elder Xuan the blood-red disc in his hand.
Huo Yuhao also looked at Elder Xuan. Ye Nanxiao still held a very high position in Huo Yuhao's heart.
"When did you start using your Blood Forging again? If that's the case, then go ahead and give it a try," Elder Xuan said, frowning.
Ye Nanxiao walked up to the three-eyed golden lion and said softly, "It will hurt a little, just bear with it."
He secretly transmitted his voice using his soul power, saying, "Trust me."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that it didn't need to connect with Huo Yuhao's attributes. Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao's words, its three beastly eyes slowly closed.
Ye Nanxiao stroked the head of the three-eyed golden lion and slowly placed the disc in his hand on the third eye of the three-eyed golden lion.
Soul power was input into the disc to form a connection, and wisps of red light lit up on the disc.
A soft metallic sound rang out as the disc slowly separated into three thin discs, each emitting a faint red glow.
The ruby in the center of the disc on the third layer quietly shattered, turning into specks of red light that merged into the third eye of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The three-eyed golden lion trembled violently and let out a painful cry.
A surge of energy emanated from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, causing Ye Nanxiao's expression to change slightly and his body to tremble gently.
The process was swift. Ye Nanxiao's life force was frantically injected into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body, repairing its injuries. Rings of distorted light entered the disc from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's third eye.
The red light on the disc gradually turned into white light, and a distorted halo floated on the central disc.
Ye Nanxiao took a deep breath and reached out to tap the disc a few times in the air.
The three discs gradually came together and transformed back into a disc.
Ye Nanxiao quickly took the disc, hesitated for a moment, and then tossed it to Huo Yuhao.
"Alright, try putting it on your forehead." Ye Nanxiao suppressed his discomfort, turned his head away, and said softly.
Elder Xuan released his control over the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and gave Ye Nanxiao a deep look. He also sensed that Ye Nanxiao's attitude today was somewhat unnatural.
Walking slowly to Huo Yuhao's side, Elder Xuan opened a layer of soul power barrier, preparing to protect Huo Yuhao.
"Just bear with it a little longer." Ye Nanxiao gently lifted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head and placed it on his fluffy tail to make the Three-Eyed Golden Lion more comfortable, not caring at all that the mud on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head had dirtied his pure white tail.
The moment Huo Yuhao placed the disc on his forehead, his body trembled violently, and the Eye of Life on his forehead quietly opened.
After the initial shock, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt his mind go blank, as if even his spiritual sea had vanished.
Meanwhile, Tianmeng, Bingdi, and Ilex, who were in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, simultaneously chose to condense their respective powers into a single point and hide in a corner, making way for this power.
"You've given this kid a great gift, haven't you? The power of destiny. Why didn't you keep it for yourself?" the Snow Empress asked.
"When I held the disc, I clearly felt the power of destiny of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion resisting me," Ye Nanxiao replied.
"You did this soul tool on purpose, didn't you?" Xue Di sighed.
"It's not a good thing to prevent them from having any contact," Ye Nanxiao said.
"Sometimes, you really are naive," Xue Di laughed. "Fate is something no one can explain."
"But being able to slightly change the course of events means we've kept future developments under control." Ye Nanxiao's eyes gleamed with determination.
Turning to look at Huo Yuhao, who was preparing to absorb the power of destiny, Ye Nanxiao secretly and frantically circulated his soul power to dispel the strange energy within his body.
Twisted halos of light surged from the disc, gradually enveloping Huo Yuhao's body.
Elder Xuan, who was standing beside Huo Yuhao intending to protect him, felt a gentle force push him away.
Huo Yuhao's body appeared and disappeared in the halo of light, and immediately the life force of the Star Dou Great Forest surged toward him.
Seeing the miraculous changes in Huo Yuhao, Elder Xuan felt a little uneasy and muttered to himself, "Has this gone too far?"
Golden light flashed in Wang Dong's eyes from time to time as she looked at Huo Yuhao, who was in a strange state. She felt a strange sense of familiarity with the power that Huo Yuhao was absorbing, but that feeling quickly disappeared.
Just as Huo Yuhao was receiving the power of destiny from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a feeling of weakness surged within Ye Nanxiao's body, followed by a heart-wrenching pain.
Ye Nanxiao's face was a little pale. Having seized the power of destiny from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, as the middleman, he had to endure even greater pain than the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. The backlash of destiny made Ye Nanxiao feel like he was being targeted.
A series of flashes of inspiration kept passing through his mind, seemingly containing some kind of information, but Ye Nanxiao had no energy to capture these information at the moment; he only had one thought in his mind.
"Have we been discovered?" Ye Nanxiao looked up at the sky, then quickly turned his gaze to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The three-eyed golden lion was coated with a faint red light, which it absorbed.
The excruciating pain lasted only a short time. Ye Nanxiao sat on the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat, breathing slightly heavily.
The three-eyed golden lion quickly absorbed the red light, opened its eyes, hugged Ye Nanxiao with its two front paws, and buried its head in Ye Nanxiao's arms.
"Alright, you can go back safely now. Next time, remember to have your bodyguards lead the way." Ye Nanxiao guessed that the Crimson King would get a beating after this.
The disc on Huo Yuhao's forehead quietly turned into powder and dissipated into the air, while the third eye on his forehead turned golden.
The third eye of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly turned black, then silver, but then turned back to gold in an instant. Naturally, this change did not escape Ye Nanxiao's eyes.
Ye Nanxiao sighed softly, "Is it still impossible to stop it?"
An invisible energy surge spread out from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
As that energy swept over him, Ye Nanxiao felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if his consciousness was drifting away from his body and being drawn to the sky.
"Don't rush." A dignified female voice rang in his ears, followed by a cool sensation that brought Ye Nanxiao back to his senses. He looked around in confusion.
"Xue'er, did you just speak?" Ye Nanxiao asked in confusion.
"No," Xue Di said calmly.
Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. He felt a strange power appear in his spiritual sea. That power made Tianmeng, Bingdi and Ilex dare not utter a sound. At the same time, the scene in front of Huo Yuhao changed.
In the darkness, Huo Yuhao felt nothing in his body, but he was very clear that he was falling. Then, the scenery in front of him suddenly turned into a white light, and he seemed to have fallen into a snowdrift.
Struggling to crawl out, Huo Yuhao saw a stunningly beautiful woman with white hair. Snowflakes danced around her, making her look like a snow fairy.
The stunningly beautiful woman looked at herself and seemed quite happy.
The scenery before him quickly changed. In Huo Yuhao's view, what "he" should have raised were two hands, but what Huo Yuhao saw were two small paws.
Just as Huo Yuhao was wondering why "he" had a pair of claws, the scenery in front of him blurred for a moment, and then the scenery returned to normal.
Ye Nanxiao looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression, but he didn't know that Huo Yuhao was "looking" at him.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had finished absorbing the energy, Elder Xuan waved his hand and led everyone and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the northern edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. This was the closest place to Shrek City, so Elder Xuan could call for support.
Looking at Ye Nanxiao's nine tails, Huo Yuhao recalled that he had absorbed the power of destiny through the Blood Forging Soul Tool given to him by Ye Nanxiao, and suddenly realized that he might have obtained Ye Nanxiao's memories.
Suppressing his doubts for the time being, Huo Yuhao stood quietly to the side.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao came to Huo Yuhao's side and looked at him with concern.
The connection between the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Huo Yuhao's fate was made through Ye Nanxiao as the intermediary, and naturally the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also gained a part of Ye Nanxiao's memories.
However, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion needed some time to sort things out and did not directly ask Ye Nanxiao.
Deep within the Starry Sky Forest lies the Lake of Life.
With worry in her beautiful eyes, Biji hesitated for a moment before setting off towards the direction of the Imperial Beast.
"Where are you going?" A majestic voice rang out, and at the same time, a phantom appeared behind Brigitte.
Without turning her head, Brigitte said, "I'm going to the auspicious beast."
"No need. They wouldn't dare harm the auspicious beast unless they're not afraid of me or the Star Dou Great Forest." The owner of the voice seemed to disregard Elder Xuan.
"Di Tian! That's an auspicious beast!" Bi Ji turned around and stared coldly at Di Tian's phantom.
"I told you, don't worry, it's just a mere human. I left a backup plan with the auspicious beast. How are you considering the matter I asked you to consider before?" Di Tian stared intently at Bi Ji.
"Di Tian, it calls you uncle." Bi Ji closed her eyes in pain.
Di Tian remained silent, quietly watching Bi Ji.
The memory of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion calling her "sister" from behind flashed through Brigitte's mind. She opened her eyes, met the gaze of the phantom of the Heavenly Emperor, and said firmly, "Sorry, I refuse."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Di Tian's illusory face, followed by a fleeting, terrifying aura.
As if she hadn't sensed the menacing aura, Brigitte left the Lake of Life and headed straight for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Di Tian's illusory figure remained silent for a long time, then turned to look at a forest shrouded in shadow and uttered two words, "Investigate!"
"Yes, Beast God Emperor Tian." A soft, feminine voice rang out.
-
Above the endless clouds, a figure stood quietly. Behind this figure, a majestic blue palace could be vaguely seen, appearing somewhat illusory under the soft halo.
The man had long, cascading blue hair that reached his feet, and his magnificent blue robe seemed to ripple with water.
The man's deep eyes seemed to encompass everything, able to see through time and space.
"Alas, an anomaly! An anomaly!" The man sighed, a faint sadness appearing between his brows.
"Where did you come from?" the man murmured to himself, reaching out to touch the clouds in front of him, which immediately rippled.
"And why do you keep appearing in my calculations, changing the predetermined fate time and time again?" The man stroked the trident symbol between his eyebrows, his eyes lowered.
After a long while, a divine light shone in the man's eyes, and a blue, shimmering halo appeared around his body.
Her long, light blue hair moved without wind, her hands were clasped together, and a glimmer of divine light flowed from her eyes.
"Fate has already been determined, so she should follow her predetermined destiny." An invisible force erupted from the man, stirring up countless clouds and mist around him.
"Third Brother." A soft call rang out. A woman's figure stepped out from the illusory space, ignoring the power erupting around the man, and came to the man in blue, reaching out to gently take his arm.
Upon hearing the woman's call, the man suddenly stopped releasing his power and silently raised his head to gaze in one direction.
"The beginning and end of a relationship are beyond your control. Do you want to interfere with things that are destined by fate?" the man said calmly.
The sound transformed into a streak of blue light and flew away.
"Why not?" A voice filled with endless chill echoed in the space where the man stood.
