Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 645: Chapter 644, Bai Yun’s Shock_1

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Find a time to visit the Battlefield of the Gods, especially the Destiny Fruit, the understanding fruit. These things, I must take a look. Even if I don’t eat them, I still need to study them."

What on earth is this stuff!

Jiang Chen was certain about one thing: this was not something to be consumed.

Bai Yun asked, "When will we go?"

"Let’s find a time!"

Jiang Chen planned to investigate Zhuang Maobin. What was this guy’s background? The cultivation technique he created was so powerful! It combined the Heaven Cutting Swords Technique with the Grand River Sword Intent, and even merged with other martial arts. This matter had to be thoroughly investigated; otherwise, Jiang Chen would rest uneasy. What really was this guy’s background? He absolutely couldn’t be a Wanderer. This was no longer as simple as just being a Wanderer.

Bai Yun nodded. "Okay, whenever you want to go, just let me know."

"If we want to be promoted to Lords, we must have Sovereign’s Fruits."

There are many divine beings on the Continent of All-Gods, but there are only thirteen Lords. Having practiced for so many years, Bai Yun hadn’t been able to ascend to the rank of Lord. Now that he heard about fruits that could promote one to Lord, Bai Yun’s heart also began to stir. It wasn’t just Bai Yun; even other divine beings, other Wanderer Gods, would be tempted upon hearing this news.

In this world, the only one who wouldn’t be tempted was Jiang Chen. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Why couldn’t those Ancient Lords escape the Battlefield of the Gods? Perhaps it was because they ate the Destiny Fruits. Having eaten the Destiny Fruits, they became completely entangled with the Destiny Tree. That was the reason they couldn’t escape.

Jiang Chen said, "Some things aren’t as simple as you think."

Bai Yun was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"I don’t know; it’s just a guess. Go back and ask the God King. See if she knows about the Destiny Tree and how they were promoted to Lords."

Bai Yun pondered.

After saying goodbye to Jiang City, Bai Yun went straight back to the God King’s stronghold. He found his mother, the God King.

"Do you know about the Destiny Fruit?"

Lailis was taken aback. "Where did you hear about the Destiny Fruit?"

It seems there really is such a thing.

Hearing the God King say so, Bai Yun understood that there indeed was such a thing as the Destiny Fruit in the world. Thus, the Sovereign’s Fruits must also be real.

Bai Yun had once asked God King Lailis how one could be promoted to the position of Lord, but God King Lailis hadn’t told him.

Why hadn’t the God King announced this news? In their hearts, they probably didn’t wish for others to become Lords. If everyone were divine, everyone a God King, then things would really get out of hand. It’s naturally better for fewer people to have that power.

"Long ago," Lailis began, "the Battlefield of the Gods was not called the Battlefield of the Gods; it was known as the Continent of Destiny."

"At the heart of the Continent of Destiny was a magical ancient tree called the Destiny Tree."

"This tree is incredibly miraculous, bearing many strange fruits."

"Each fruit represents a Great Dao."

"Each fruit represents a Law, a mark."

"Anyone who wishes to become a divine being just has to pick a fruit from the Destiny Tree and consume it to become divine."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yun was tremendously shocked. Who would have thought there were such miraculous fruits in the world!

Lailis continued, "When some people became divine beings, became Lords, their ambitions swelled. They all wanted to control the Destiny Tree for themselves."

"That’s why the great war among the divine occurred. At that time, all divine beings participated in the battle. Many divinities perished, and many divine beings ended up trapped on the Battlefield of the Gods."

"That was a war that shook the heavens."

Bai Yun asked doubtfully, "How did they end up trapped on the Battlefield of the Gods?"

"Do you know that the Continent of Destiny was once the center of the entire universe?" Lailis explained. "Many divine beings from the Continent of Destiny fought against other divine beings."

"In the end, outnumbered by their enemies, all the divinities from the Continent of Destiny perished. Finally, the Master of Destiny used a Forbidden Art, confining all the divine beings to the Battlefield of the Gods."

"Only a small number escaped."

"That’s how the Battlefield of the Gods came to be."

Bai Yun asked thoughtfully, "Is there really such a thing as the Sovereign’s Fruit up there? Can one really become a Lord after consuming it?"

Lailis nodded. "You’re correct; there indeed is a Sovereign’s Fruit."

"On the Battlefield of the Gods, there are not only ancient divine beings but also divinities from the Continent of Destiny."

"They cannot leave the Battlefield of the Gods, but they also refuse to allow others in. No one who has entered the Battlefield of the Gods has ever come out."

"Whether they are divinities or Lords, anyone who enters the heart of the Battlefield of the Gods and comes within range of the Destiny Tree never returns."

Bai Yun smiled. "That information is probably not correct, as some people have come out of the Battlefield of the Gods."

"Who?"

Lailis was greatly surprised. As far as I know, no one who entered the heart of the Battlefield of the Gods, into the area of the Destiny Tree, ever came back out!

"Zhuang Maobin."

Lailis grew thoughtful. A Wanderer.

Recently, within ten years, a group of experts had emerged among the Wanderers, among whom Zhuang Maobin was a standout. Originally, Bai Yun’s reputation was the highest among the Wanderers. After Bai Yun, it was Jiang Chen. He founded a nation and brought the martial arts of the Wanderers to their fullest potential, allowing all Wanderers to learn. But now? Their reputations were far outshone by another person. That person was Zhuang Maobin. Zhuang Maobin had become a leader among the younger generation of Wanderers, with many Wanderers and divine beings following him.

Lailis asked, "How do you know about this?"

"You don’t need to know who told me, but you only need to know that this is true."

Lailis said, "The only way someone could escape the Battlefield of the Gods is if they were an ancestor from the Continent of Destiny."

"Their bodies are very special, capable of understanding any Law, even combining two Laws."

What? Since when can divine beings accommodate two different Laws? Isn’t he afraid of backlash? Bai Yun wondered.

Lailis smiled. "The ancestors from the Continent of Destiny can accommodate two different Laws because they belong to the Continent of Destiny and their bodies contain a certain amount of the Power of Destiny."

"Divine beings usually categorize divine Laws into first class, second class, and third class."

"In fact, above the first class, there is the Destiny Law, which is a unique existence."

"Whoever controls the Destiny Law is the Supreme in the entire universe."

Bai Yun was puzzled. "According to you, the Continent of Destiny surely had someone who understood the Destiny Law, but didn’t they eventually die anyway?"

"Everyone dies," Lailis replied. "Those who control destiny die, but destiny itself does not die."

"Just like the Laws. The divine beings that control the Laws may die, but the Laws themselves continue to exist."

Bai Yun understood.
