"What's going on here?"
The evolutionary rituals he had presided over numbered in the thousands, if not tens of thousands; he had never encountered such a situation before.
Beings like Rakshasa, Hong Yi, or even the initial Duo Lai, they were directly evolved into Hidden Classes, but a choice had never appeared.
Could it be... both evolutionary paths available to Isloa are equally potent?
"Stars Apostle, Destiny Star Weaver."
He couldn't access more information; he only vaguely understood that he needed to make a decision soon, otherwise... delaying too long would cause the Evo-power to dissipate.
Mu Yuan gazed at Isloa, who had transformed into light, and within his vision he could faintly see a river formed by the Evo-power, steadily flowing.
"Destiny Star Weaver!"
A dazzling pillar of light then shot up into the heavens.
It was still daytime, but the sky above the Tianyuan Territory had turned to night, with a night sky where stars sparkled and traced arcs of light.
Those seemed to be the arcs of destiny.
No further incidents occurred.
The extreme radiance that enveloped Isloa began to slowly dissipate.
'Notification: Your hero "Isloa" has bathed in an Evolutionary Miracle, transforming into an Epic Three Stars life form "Destiny Star Weaver", awakening the talent "Destiny Star Weaving".'
'Destiny Star Weaving: Isloa can observe the stars to discern changes in destiny and fortune. When she uses star-related Techniques and skills, she can obtain more accurate answers.'
'When this talent is actively activated, Isloa can influence an individual's/group's destiny by intervening with the destiny stars. The strength of the influence is inversely proportional to the target's level and willpower.'
During this evolution, Isloa also awakened some high-level skills.
Mu Yuan glanced over a few but focused on the Destiny Star Weaving talent. The description of the talent was mystifying, and Isloa was still immersed in enlightenment, not yet awakened, so Mu Yuan took the opportunity to use it himself.
He activated the Lord's Power, entering freeloading mode.
Destiny Star Weaving, initiate!
Mu Yuan got to enjoy this talent before Isloa, though what he freeloaded was only the youth version.
Upon talent initiation, an indescribable charm enveloped him.
Isloa opened her eyes.
Under the same skill frequency, Mu Yuan faintly saw threads connected to the destiny stars in the Azure Sky.
At the same time, in the northwest of the Tianyuan Territory, about a hundred kilometers away,
A Jackal Man expert in stealth and reconnaissance, a Fourth-order Strongman, was making his way through dense forests.
Unlike other scouts, he hailed from the very heart of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf.
His rank was as high as Excellence Three Stars, and he possessed several high-level stealth and covert abilities.
Seeming to have discovered a clue, he stealthily made his way in a certain direction. Neither the Tai Qing Birds flying overhead, the Evil Spirits hiding in the woodlands, nor the patrolling Undead Squads could detect this figure.
If he continued in this direction and managed to evade all the patrol squads, he might very well discover the true location of the Tianyuan Territory.
The Jackal Man Strongman crouched down, touching the ground.
With a new clue spotted, he murmured, "Wrong, wrong, the trail leads this way."
He turned and sped off to the southwest.
Perhaps eager to claim full credit, or perhaps anxious from the lack of new clues despite relentless pursuit, he became gradually reckless, losing his usual caution.
Until, groggily, he stumbled into an ambush set by a powerful patrol squad.
'Bone Two': "So this is nature's gift, huh?"
