"This is fate, this is fate!"
Yu Xiong looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, his expression filled with extreme sadness.
Although the bet between Yu Qi and Hong Zhen had yet to decide a winner.
He already knew that everything had been predetermined.
In the face of Heaven’s will, no matter how much the Yu Clan struggled, they couldn’t change the predetermined ending!
"The Yu Clan is finished."
On the upper floor of the Gambling Stone Workshop.
Jiang Wan and the other clan prodigies witnessed this scene, their expressions complex, feeling a sense of shared sorrow.
They hailed from super tribes, possessing the bloodline of ancient sages, appearing to have prestigious identities and limitless fame.
But to the will of Heaven.
Even their ancestors were nothing more than ants easily crushed!
And the contest over fortune, seemingly calm and uneventful.
Was in truth extremely perilous, often killing without spilling blood!
If Yu Qi lost this bet, not only would his path be destroyed, the Yu Clan’s luck might also be severed by the Celestial Fate Sect!
"Daoist Yu Qi, why do you hesitate to choose an exotic stone?"
Hong Zhen looked at Yu Qi, who stood torn between advancing and retreating, and smiled even more: "Is it unwillingness or fear?"
Hearing the overt derision in Hong Zhen’s voice, Yu Qi’s face grew even more unsightly.
He was very aware.
Competing on luck with a Daoist from the Celestial Fate Sect was like hitting a stone with an egg.
No matter how he chose, he was destined to lose terribly!
But dragging it out any longer was not a solution either.
After hesitating for a long time.
Yu Qi gritted his teeth and, forcing himself, selected an exotic stone.
Compared to Yu Qi, who was facing a formidable foe, Hong Zhen appeared much more relaxed and casual.
After Yu Qi finished selecting his stone.
Without even looking, Hong Zhen casually picked up a stone from the table.
For as a Daoist of the Celestial Fate Sect, he had absolute confidence in his fortune!
Under the witness of everyone, Yu Xiong personally cut open the stones.
A large amount of stone material was removed, gradually revealing the patterns within the stones.
Everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
"Ancestors, please bless the young clan leader!"
All the Yu Clan members closed their eyes, hands clasped together, praying to their ancestors.
However, when Yu Xiong had cut halfway through the exotic stone.
Everyone saw that it was clearly a worthless stone!
"How could this be!"
Yu Qi staggered, taking two steps backward.
Yu Xiong sighed heavily, having already anticipated this outcome.
It seemed the Yu Clan’s fortunes were ending, unable to defy what was called Heaven’s will!
Then he gripped the short knife and continued to cut the stone Hong Zhen had selected.
Inside that stone was a block of spirit marrow the size of a fist!
And embedded in that spirit marrow was a spirit fruit the size of a dragon’s eye.
Even through the thick layer of spirit marrow, everyone could feel the dense spiritual energy emanating from the spirit fruit!
"Hiss!"
"How terrifying Hong Zhen the Daoist is, he actually found something valuable!"
Everyone gasped, for the first time experiencing the terror of someone blessed by great fortune.
Casually picking a stone yielded an ancient treasure medicine.
What is it to be favored by the Mandate of Heaven?
This is what it means to be favored by the Mandate of Heaven!
The Yu Clan members, upon seeing this spirit fruit, were as if mourning their deceased parents, their faces pale, as if subjected to an unprecedented blow.
"The Celestial Fate Sect’s Qi Fortune Technique is indeed something."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
In terms of individual power alone.
The battle strength between Hong Zhen and Yu Qi was roughly the same, making it hard to determine a winner in a short time.
But if it was about personal fortune.
Yu Qi couldn’t even come close to Hong Zhen.
After all, the Celestial Fate Sect was backed by the Great Court Country and understood how to align with Heaven’s will.
On the other hand, the Yu Clan, as Emperor Shun’s descendants, were inherently suppressed by Heaven’s will.
Under such circumstances.
No matter how talented Yu Qi was, he was by no means a match for Hong Zhen.
From the current situation, the Yu Clan’s defeat was just a matter of time.
However, Lu Yuan did not act rashly but observed everything silently in the dark.
Even though he didn’t know in which stone that great creation lay.
But every cause has its cause and effect, everything is predetermined.
Since that creation belonged to Lu Yuan, unless he voluntarily handed it over, no one could take it away.
Thus, Lu Yuan had no need to worry about Yu Qi or Hong Zhen stumbling upon that great creation.
Meanwhile.
The betting duel between Hong Zhen and Yu Qi continued.
Yu Qi opened five exotic stones in a row without any gain.
On the contrary, Hong Zhen, blessed with great fortune, won every bet and aced every trial.
Every exotic stone he chose contained something precious, and each exotic treasure was extremely rare!
In the end.
There were only four exotic stones left.
Yu Qi, anxious and agitated, pushed his heavy pupils to the limit, blood dripping from the corners of his eyes, and finally discovered an exotic treasure.
But compared to Hong Zhen’s harvest, it was a mere drop in the ocean, not changing anything.
And Lu Yuan, standing in the crowd, gradually began to see some patterns.
"The great wilderness environment has changed drastically, and with destiny concluding, the fortunes of all the tribes and clans have been affected."
"This has given Celestial Fate Sect an opportunity to exploit."
"Otherwise, when the Yu Clan was at its zenith and its fortune was like a rainbow, not even giving Hong Zhen ten thousand courage would he dare to be so audacious."
Lu Yuan muttered to himself.
If the Great Wilderness were a lake, then all the people of the Great Wilderness would be its living beings.
But now, this lake was gradually drying up, and even mighty super tribes like the Yu Clan were struggling and on the verge of extinction.
"Daoist Yu Qi, the outcome is decided, are you still going to struggle meaninglessly?"
