Inside a splendid Divine Palace, Euloda, Magna, and Zhuang Maobin knelt on the ground. Their mother Galina, a Lord, stood before them.
She was one of the eighteen Lords of the Nine Abyssal Continent.
In the Nine Abyssal Abyss, there were eighteen Lords whose abilities were the same as those of the Lords from the Continent of All-Gods, except they did not cultivate Laws.
They cultivated Spiritual Power, a unique Strength.
Galina said, "Rise."
Galina looked at Zhuang Maobin and asked, "You went to the Continent of Destiny and captured two Sons of Destiny?"
"Yes."
"One male and one female?"
"Yes."
"Are you confident in obtaining the Power of Destiny from them?"
Zhuang Maobin nodded. "Yes."
"Good. Prince Estevan possesses the Power of Termination. They are in the Continent of Destiny’s Third Realm. Sooner or later, you will meet them; be careful. If Estevan learns of this, he will surely come to kill you or even snatch the other two."
Euloda said, "They shouldn’t know, should they?"
"They will know. I am aware that they have people on the Continent of Destiny, so naturally, he also knows we hold the Power of Destiny. Destiny and Termination will ultimately confront each other."
Zhuang Maobin fell silent.
Although he had returned to the Nine Abyssal Abyss and evaded the pursuit of Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi, he was not safe. In the Nine Abyssal Abyss, there were eighteen Lords, each as powerful as his mother, and they also aspired to invade another universe. In that universe, the strongest forces are the Power of Destiny and the Power of Termination.
Zhuang Maobin had now returned, and the other Lords probably already knew.
This is indeed a troublesome matter. If I return to the other universe, once I bring the clones back, they will be perceived by my original body in minutes. Not only will the clones die, but even I might die.
Zhuang Maobin asked, "Mother, do you have a solution?"
"I will send people to protect you and even the people you brought back. They must not meet with any accidents."
"I understand."
Galina looked at the other two. "You should also help your brother. You’ve grown up too; it’s time for you to go out and see the world."
"Understood, Mother."
「······」
「Small World」
Jiang Chen was studying a Secret Technique, attempting to break through to the Lord Realm. He had found the method, but it would take a considerable amount of time to become a Lord.
I wonder if I can fuse the Power of Termination. If I could, wouldn’t that be better? Could it be that those in the Third Realm of the Continent of Destiny are also Demons? Otherwise, why would they seize bodies and be reborn? This ability should be exclusive to Demons.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes.
He prepared to take a trip to the Continent of Destiny in search of the Power of Termination. He believed that with his Strength, he could certainly control the Power of Termination.
WHOOSH...
With an Instant Step, Jiang Chen appeared on the Battlefield of the Gods. He wasn’t sure how many times he had come here. Without a second thought, he directly rushed into the Continent of Destiny, heading straight for The Third Realm.
「Near the Tree of Termination.」
Belya opened his eyes; he felt the Power of Destiny approaching. It wasn’t just Belya who sensed it—the others did too. Even the entire Tree of Termination perceived it, quivering slightly.
"What’s going on? Why is the Tree of Termination trembling, as if it’s afraid of something?"
"Besides trembling, there is a hint of excitement."
"Only the Destiny Law can make the Tree of Termination tremble, and only the aura of Destiny can excite it."
"Could it be that the Master of Destiny is about to return?"
"It’s not that easy. If the Master of Destiny were to return, we would surely be summoned. It seems it’s not the Master of Destiny, but someone with the Power of Destiny."
"Who could it be?"
Belya stood up, looking ahead. The entire Third Realm was shrouded in darkness. Although he could not see Jiang Chen’s figure, Belya sensed it—it was the aura of Destiny. Only the aura of Destiny could make the Tree of Termination this excited. Moreover, Belya also harbored the Power of Termination within him.
THUD... THUD... THUD...
An ancient, dull sound echoed as numerous Lords and Divine beings gazed ahead. Who could it be? Who has arrived?
A figure emerged from the black mist, about 1.78 meters tall, holding a Weapon. When Jiang Chen appeared before them, Baltasar exclaimed, "Jiang Chen, it’s you!"
Jiang Chen replied with a smile, "Baltasar, long time no see."
"You’ve come back! What exactly do you want to do?" Baltasar’s eyes filled with wariness.
Damn it! How could it be him?
Baltasar then sensed that the Jiang Chen standing before him was no longer the Jiang Chen of the past, but one carrying a crucial turn of destiny. The crowd also sensed this familiar aura. This was a Strength completely opposite to the Power of Destiny; only Destiny itself could contend against Termination.
Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Naturally, I missed you all."
Baltasar exclaimed, "I can feel the aura of Destiny on you! It seems you’ve already acquired the Destiny Law."
"Yes."
Jiang Chen saw no reason to hide it. This was the domain of the Tree of Termination. Upon arriving, he felt the Destiny Law within him grow restless, as if facing an enemy. It was the first time Jiang Chen had felt the Power of Destiny so agitated, as if it were alive. He sensed that the Power of Termination was its greatest adversary.
By then, Jiang Chen understood. Termination and Destiny cannot be reconciled; they cannot coexist. Otherwise, I myself would not be able to withstand it. This is fate. Where there is Destiny, there is Termination.
Baltasar said coldly, "Since you possess the Destiny Law, then we are enemies, for we are the very termination of the Destiny Law."
After Baltasar spoke, a group of people surrounded Jiang Chen, everyone now considering him an enemy.
Baltasar said with a smirk, "You are too complacent. Without full control over the Destiny Law, you dare to come here to die. Termination is the nemesis of Destiny, Destiny’s greatest enemy."
"You should have waited until you had completely become the Master of Destiny before coming. By coming now, you are simply seeking death."
Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "Is that so? Perhaps not."
At that moment, Jiang Chen used Instant Step to move away, rushing towards the Tree of Termination. The others swarmed to attack, but Jiang Chen was exceptionally fast. They could not stop him; the Lord’s Domain had no effect on him.
The next second... Jiang Chen was immobilized in mid-air.
Belya had made his move. He was the Time Lord and could control the flow of time. No one could approach the Tree of Termination, especially an enemy who wielded the Destiny Law.
Lin Yu looked at Belya and said with a smile, "You’re not from the Destiny Universe, are you? You must be a Demon from the Nine Abyssal Abyss!"
Belya was shocked. "You know about the Nine Abyssal Abyss?"
Belya’s face filled with surprise. That was a matter from ancient times. How could he possibly know of it?
