Stab.
In the depths of Ning Changyu’s eyes, countless golden Great Tao Runes suddenly began to surge.
These Great Tao Runes continuously intertwined and flickered, eventually forming the shape of a page of a book.
"Got it! Appearance and demeanor can be feigned, but fate and talent cannot be deceived!"
"I don’t believe it, reborn once and even Chen Zhixing’s talents and fate have changed?"
Ning Changyu’s lips curled slightly upward as his Divine Thought sank into his Sea of Consciousness, quickly gazing at that page of the Life Book.
The Life Book, mysterious and ancient, which even in his past life when he cultivated to the Peak Realm Ninth Layer, he could not uncover its origins, began to slowly reveal text.
Gradually, the characters, like wriggling worms, began to converge.
On the Life Book.
The first line of text appeared.
[Crimson Gold Fate: Blessed with Good Fortune!]
Ning Changyu raised an eyebrow slightly, blessed with good fortune?
Indeed, to be born as a direct descendant of the Longevity Family, Chen Zhixing was indeed lucky.
As he pondered.
Characters again began to emerge on the Life Book.
"Oh? Dual fate? It seems Chen Zhixing didn’t have dual fate in the past life..."
Before Ning Changyu could finish his thought, his pupils dilated sharply!
On the Life Book, shockingly, another line of blindingly bright text appeared!
[Blazing Gold Fate: Saint of Power!]
"It’s actually a Blazing Gold Fate?! How is that possible? Xu Qingzhou only has a Blazing Gold Fate, which is a top-tier fate!" Ning Changyu’s mind shook violently, his breath suddenly became heavy.
However, the second fate only appeared for a moment.
[Blazing Gold Fate: Sword Dao Genius!]
[Blazing Gold Fate: Born Divine!]
[Blazing Gold Fate: Proud Celestial Form!]
[Blazing Gold Fate: Great Tao Body!!]
[Blazing Gold Fate: Creation!!]
The mysterious and ancient Life Book displayed five lines of text that were dazzling to the extreme.
Boom!!!
Like a heavy hammer smashing into his Sea of Consciousness, Ning Changyu’s face instantly changed.
He ’flipped’ upright, his eyes flooded with an expression akin to seeing a ghost.
"Seven Fates! How can one person bear seven fates?!"
At this moment, even though Ning Changyu had experienced five hundred years, with a mindset that remained unchanged no matter what the circumstances, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, releasing a low growl of disbelief in his heart.
"Seven Fates! Among them, six are top-tier fates in the world!!"
"How is this possible?!!"
Ning Changyu stared hard at the text on the Life Book, even in his past life when he deprived countless proud celestials of their fates, climbing to the ninth layer of the Peak Realm, he never obtained six top-tier Blazing Gold Fates!
Yet, just as he was overwhelmed with shock.
Another line of extremely dazzling text appeared on the Life Book.
[Emperor Purple Fate: Innate Longevity Form!]
Boom—!!
Ning Changyu’s mind was completely blank.
Emperor Purple Fate, Innate Longevity Form!!!
Throughout history, this fate had been possessed by only a few individuals.
And to possess this fate, there was only one possibility!
That is Chen Zhixing... is one of the legendary Ten Ancient Patterners!!
Because only Ten Ancient Patterners can be deemed to have the Innate Longevity Form!
To possess such a fate means that as long as one does not perish prematurely, they are destined to prove the Great Longevity, achieving eternal life and perpetual prosperity!
"Longevity... it is the Longevity Form of the Emperor Purple Fate..."
Ning Changyu’s pupils were lost and dispersed, standing frozen in place.
In his past life, he struggled for five hundred years without even glimpsing the Longevity Form.
He seemed to have turned into a statue, completely submerged in deep shock.
"Ning Changyu!"
"Ning Changyu, what exactly are you trying to do?!"
"What nonsense are you babbling alone? Sit down properly!"
Until he heard the repeated low reprimands from the Xu Family in his ear.
Ning Changyu gradually regained his senses, realizing he had lost his composure again.
In just a single hour, he had become flustered three times.
Since stepping into the Peak Realm in his past life, apart from his ultimate downfall during the Longevity Great Tribulation, when else had he found himself in such a situation?
"Changyu, if you haven’t rested well, go and rest for now."
A cold and indifferent voice resounded,
Ning Changyu looked up, and saw Xu Qingzhou’s disappointed eyes.
"I’m... I’m fine."
Ning Changyu took a sip from his teacup, then lowered his head.
A thought struck his mind like a thunderstorm.
"Wait!"
"Although I know not why my memory has deviated, nor why Chen Zhixing’s fates have undergone such heaven-defying change..."
"But for me, this seems more like a grand serendipity!!"
A sudden flash of intense light emerged in Ning Changyu’s eyes.
In the next moment.
He found his hands, slightly trembling uncontrollably.
"If... if I could strip Chen Zhixing of all eight fates..."
"Then, what’s the Longevity Realm at that time? Nothing but a trivial matter!"
"Even... I could very possibly become the first Great Longevity since the beginning of time!!!"
Suddenly, a spark of excitement almost materialized in Ning Changyu’s eyes!
"Rebirth is not the greatest fortune, and having the Life Book at my side is not the greatest fortune either."
"My true grand fortune is him, Chen Zhixing!!!"
Thinking of this, Ning Changyu’s face displayed a greedy flush of longing.
...
...
Inside the main hall of the main peak, on the high platform.
The distinguished and serene Chen Zhixing was quietly sipping tea with his eyes downcast.
"Xu Family’s fledgling phoenix Xu Qingzhou..."
He glanced casually at Xu Qingzhou.
Xu Qingzhou was clad in a red and formal attire, with features rather delicate, yet due to the pronounced contours of her face, she didn’t exactly count as a peerless beauty.
This girl’s talent was exceptional, and even among the nine different original storylines, she ranked among the top among female characters.
However, Xu Qingzhou did not have a high appearance rate in "Great Cultivation".
If he wasn’t mistaken.
This girl, after the Grand Competition in the East Profound Domain, on her way back to the Xu Family, was attacked by the Demon Faction and perished.
This left countless players in the past life lamenting in regret.
"I remember when she perished, there seemed to be a little Easter egg; Xu Qingzhou, it seems, was very suitable to be a furnace due to her Profound Yin Divine Body."
Chen Zhixing withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the Ning Changyu below.
Just now, through the conversation of the Xu Family members, he had already learned this person’s identity.
"Xu Family’s son-in-law, Ning Changyu..."
Chen Zhixing looked at Ning Changyu with interest, his fair, slender fingertips gently tapping the stone seat’s armrest.
"If I’m not mistaken, this person must be one of the nine storylines’ protagonist, the rebirth Chapter’s Celestial Chosen Protagonist."
"And judging by this reaction, it seems he has noticed that the things seen in this life have diverged and contrasted with the past life, leading to a loss of composure?"
Chen Zhixing propped his chin with one hand, an amusing thought surfacing in his mind.
"If I were to tell him now, what overlooking the heavens and reaching the peak Celestial Monarch Chang Yu? What seeing others’ fates through the Life Book? It’s all just the fantasy of a Xu Family’s son-in-law, scorned and shunned."
"Then, would his Dao Heart completely collapse?"
