Chapter 664: Chapter 663, Becoming the Son of Destiny_1
Yuan Ziyi said, "Mine is the Name Devouring Seal. Once someone calls out a name, I can replicate their seal. Even though you are a Divine, with the blessing of destiny, I can still control all your abilities. Not only that, I can control the power of other Divines as well. So I am giving you one more chance to follow at my side, to follow beside the Master of Destiny. This is your only opportunity."
Yuan Ziyi urged.
Jiang Chen was special. If he joined her, she believed she could defeat other Sons of Destiny. Facing such an expert, Yuan Ziyi did not want to miss this chance.
Jiang Chen smiled. "I would never want to submit to others, especially a woman."
"Why not?"
"A woman is meant to submit at my feet, not me at hers."
"How arrogant. You’re quite scheming, pretending to be vexed and resting at the hotel, waiting for me to take the bait."
Jiang Chen chuckled. Yes, that was exactly my plan. If Yuan Ziyi wasn’t a Son of Destiny, then she wouldn’t know where the Fortune Teller was. If Yuan Ziyi knew his location, she would definitely find an opportunity to kill the Fortune Teller and take his Destiny Law. After hearing the warning from the Fortune Teller, Jiang Chen had made this plan.
His guess was correct: Yuan Ziyi was a Son of Destiny, living right at the heart of the Continent of Destiny. After witnessing Jiang Chen’s abilities, she developed the idea of aligning with him.
A person who escapes destiny... He is significant enough for Yuan Ziyi to pay close attention to. If Yuan Ziyi stayed in the Continent of Destiny, she would eventually be devoured by other Sons of Destiny. Her Destiny Law was limited, and once a powerful Son of Destiny returned, death would await her.
Jiang Chen laughed. "So, I did manage to bait you out. Indeed, you are deep and calculating."
"Hmph, don’t forget, I already know your true name. I can replicate your abilities, and with the Destiny Law, you’re no match for me."
Jiang Chen laughed heartily. "Really? You think these are all the tricks I have up my sleeve?"
He immediately intensified his offense. Jiang Chen sensed that while his opponent could replicate his seal, she couldn’t replicate its amplified strength. There was a vast difference in combat power between Jiang Chen with Hundred Times Amplification and Jiang Chen without it.
So what if she has the Destiny Law? So what if she has the Name Devouring Seal? I have Hundred Times Amplification! Can she replicate that?
At that moment, Yuan Ziyi frowned deeply. Impossible! What exactly is happening? Why is his strength a hundred times more powerful? I clearly replicated his seal, so how did he do it?
Yuan Ziyi was utterly shocked. She had not anticipated Jiang Chen to be far more fearsome than she imagined.
Just then, Yuan Ziyi’s body turned ethereal. She laughed, "Very well, you’ve exceeded my expectations. Next time I return, I will come back to battle you."
Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi passed through Yuan Ziyi’s chest, but it didn’t penetrate her body, passing through her as if she were air, missing its mark.
Another space-type seal! Dammit! Is this woman that formidable? Even more so than Zhuang Maobin!
Yuan Ziyi then disappeared, and Jiang Chen, powerless, could only watch her vanish.
Jiang Chen looked at the Fortune Teller. "She escaped."
The Fortune Teller nodded. "I know. Her Law is extremely unique; not many can stand on par with her. With my Prophecy Seal, I certainly cannot contend with her."
Jiang Chen said, "When we first met, I had roughly guessed your identity. You’re actually a Son of Destiny. I just didn’t realize there were many Sons of Destiny. I thought you were Zhuang Maobin’s clone."
The Fortune Teller replied, "There are many Sons of Destiny, not just me. And I’m one of the weakest among them."
Jiang Chen looked at the Fortune Teller. "I don’t want to kill you."
I truly don’t want to kill him, but I have no choice. I need the Destiny Law.
The Fortune Teller smiled. "You don’t have to kill me. I can give you the Destiny Law, making you a Son of Destiny. This is something I have long hoped for."
"The Destiny Law can be given away?" Jiang Chen asked, surprised.
The Fortune Teller laughed. "Of course, it can. I’ve been seeking someone who can bear destiny. The first time we met, I saw you, and you are the one. Unfortunately, your strength was too weak back then. If I had given it to you then, you might have been hunted down. Now that you have achieved the status of a Divine, it should be alright to give it to you."
Jiang Chen was taken aback. So generous? He became somewhat skeptical.
The Fortune Teller continued, "Don’t be distrustful. I am the Fortune Teller, a Divine with absolutely no combat capabilities. If I didn’t give it to you, it would end up with Yuan Ziyi. However, I believe giving it to you is a better choice. You are more trustworthy; she is not."
Jiang Chen chuckled, "Thanks for the high regard."
The Fortune Teller closed his eyes tightly. An aura emerged from his body, and a white, gaseous substance appeared in his hands.
White mist? Is this the Destiny Law? Jiang Chen wondered.
The Fortune Teller said, "This is the Destiny Law, the Law that governs all strength. I only have this much."
Jiang Chen reached out to touch destiny. The moment he did, he felt it: he was the only one between heaven and earth, seated at the highest echelon, looking down upon the cosmos, watching countless Lords and Divines kneeling on the ground, submitting to him. That was the strength of destiny, the power to rule over everything, the ability to perceive all things. That was destiny.
The Fortune Teller continued, "When you combine your Seal of Destruction with the Destiny Law, you will bear its full weight. You will also become a Son of Destiny, and Sons of Destiny are fated to conflict. Unless you, like me, willingly withdraw from the struggle, it will be a fight to the death. Destiny allows no sharing."
Jiang Chen nodded; he understood that much. The fateful battle... Killing Zhuang Maobin and Yuan Ziyi, obtaining the Destiny Law they possess—that is my destiny. This force cannot be altered by anyone. Either I die, or they do. It’s not subject to any individual’s will, not even that of Divines.
Jiang Chen said, "Thank you."
"No need for thanks. Now that I’ve given it to you, I feel much lighter, no longer having to worry about being hunted down. But be careful; that woman from earlier is very astute. She may well be your biggest adversary."
Jiang Chen nodded. Indeed, that woman Yuan Ziyi had hidden herself very deeply; I only realize it now. Truly, a woman’s heart is as deep as the ocean. One shouldn’t judge a woman solely by her appearance. Initially, I thought Yuan Ziyi was a descendant of the Continent of Destiny, someone seeking to break free from the control of fate. I never expected that she was actually a Master of Destiny. And now she even knows my name. This is awkward.
「At that moment, Yuan Ziyi stopped in her tracks.」
This isn’t good. He actually merged with the Destiny Law!
