Chapter 89: Where Is the Lofty Heavenly Lord Ning Changyu? It's Merely the Fantasy of a Mere Son-in-Law
Tch.
In the depths of Ning Changyu's eyes, countless golden Daoist runes suddenly surged forth.
These Daoist runes intertwined and flickered continuously, finally taking the shape of a page from a book.
"I've got it! Appearance and demeanor can be faked, but fate and talent cannot!"
"I don't believe it. There's no way that after reincarnating, even Chen Zhixing's natural aptitude and destiny have changed!"
The corners of Ning Changyu's mouth curled up slightly as he immersed his consciousness into his sea of knowledge, quickly focusing on that page of the Fate Book.
The Fate Book was ancient and mysterious, even in his past life, when he had cultivated to the ninth level of the Apex Realm, he was unable to uncover its origin. Now, words slowly began to appear on it.
Gradually, the words formed, as if they were worms crawling and combining together.
On the Fate Book.
The first line of text appeared.
[Blazing Gold Destiny: Blessed with Great Fortune!]
Ning Changyu raised an eyebrow. Blessed with great fortune, huh? Indeed, to be born into the direct lineage of an immortal family, Chen Zhixing truly had remarkable luck.
As he pondered this, more words began to emerge on the Fate Book.
"Oh? Dual destinies? I don't recall Chen Zhixing having dual destinies in his previous life..."
Before Ning Changyu could finish his thought, his pupils suddenly dilated!
Another glaring line of text appeared on the Fate Book!
[Blazing Gold Destiny: To Become a Saint Through Strength!]
"A Blazing Gold Destiny?! How is this possible? Even Xu Qingzhou only has a Blazing Gold Destiny, and that's considered a top-tier destiny!" Ning Changyu's heart trembled violently, and his breathing became labored.
However, just as the second destiny appeared, additional words followed in quick succession.
[Blazing Gold Destiny: Sword Dao Genius!]
[Blazing Gold Destiny: Born Divine!]
[Blazing Gold Destiny: Heaven's Chosen!]
[Blazing Gold Destiny: Body of the Great Dao!!]
[Blazing Gold Destiny: Power to Rival Creation!!]
Five more dazzling lines of text appeared on the mysterious and ancient Fate Book.
Boom!!!
It was as if a sledgehammer had slammed into his sea of consciousness. Ning Changyu's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.
He sprang to his feet, eyes wide in disbelief as if he had seen a ghost.
"Seven destinies! How can one person possibly bear seven destinies?!"
At that moment, even though Ning Changyu had lived for five hundred years and developed an unshakable mindset, he couldn't help but gasp in disbelief, his heart roaring with shock.
"Seven destinies! And six of them are top-tier destinies of the world!!"
"How is this even possible?!"
Ning Changyu stared intently at the words on the Fate Book. Even in his previous life, after stripping countless Heaven's Chosen of their destinies and reaching the ninth level of the Apex Realm, he had never possessed six top-tier Blazing Gold destinies!
Yet, as he stood in stunned disbelief, another line of text appeared on the Fate Book, more dazzling than ever before.
[Imperial Purple Destiny: Born with Innate Immortality!]
Boom——!!
Ning Changyu's mind went completely blank.
The Imperial Purple Destiny, the mark of innate immortality!!!
Throughout history, only a handful of people have possessed this destiny.
And to possess such a destiny, there was only one possibility!
Chen Zhixing was one of the legendary Ten Ancient Marked Ones!!
For only those with the Ten Ancient Marks could be considered to have the Innate Immortal Physique!
Those who possessed such a destiny were guaranteed to achieve the Great Immortal Path as long as they did not fall prematurely, ensuring immortality, long lifespan, and an unending legacy!
"Immortality... It's the Immortal Physique of the Imperial Purple Destiny..."
Ning Changyu stood there in a daze, his pupils dilated and unfocused.
In his previous life, he had struggled for five hundred years, yet he had never even glimpsed the Immortal Physique.
He stood as still as a statue, completely lost in deep shock.
"Ning Changyu!"
"Ning Changyu, what exactly are you trying to do?!"
"What nonsense are you babbling about by yourself? Sit down immediately!"
It wasn't until the stern voices of the Xu family members repeatedly rang in his ears that Ning Changyu finally came back to his senses, realizing he had lost his composure yet again.
In just an hour, he had already lost control of his emotions three times.
Since reaching the Apex Realm in his previous life, except for his final downfall during the Great Immortal Tribulation, when had he ever found himself in such a state?
"Changyu, if you haven't rested well, perhaps you should take a break."
A cold voice echoed.
Ning Changyu raised his head, locking eyes with Xu Qingzhou's gaze, filled with disappointment.
"I... I'm fine."
Ning Changyu lifted his teacup, took a small sip, and then lowered his head.
A sudden thought erupted like thunder in his mind.
"Wait!"
"Although I don't know why my memory seems altered or why Chen Zhixing's destinies have changed so drastically..."
"But for me, this could be the greatest opportunity of all!!"
A fierce gleam flashed in Ning Changyu's eyes.
The next moment.
His hands trembled uncontrollably.
"If... If I can strip all eight of Chen Zhixing's destinies..."
"Then, what would immortality mean? It would be nothing more than a trivial achievement!"
"I might even become the first Great Immortal of all time!!!"
Suddenly, an almost tangible excitement flickered in Ning Changyu's eyes!
"Rebirth isn't my greatest fortune, and even the Fate Book by my side isn't my greatest fortune."
"My true fortune is Chen Zhixing!!!"
With that thought, a ravenous greed colored Ning Changyu's face in a feverish blush.
In the main hall of the peak, on the high platform.
The calm and elegant Chen Zhixing was sipping tea with lowered eyes.
"Xu family’s young phoenix, Xu Qingzhou..."
He glanced at Xu Qingzhou indifferently.
Xu Qingzhou wore a red martial outfit, her face striking though not truly beautiful due to her sharp facial features.
Her talent was exceptional, and even among the nine different storylines, she stood out as one of the top supporting characters.
However, Xu Qingzhou's screen time in Great Cultivation was relatively limited.
If he recalled correctly.
She would perish on her way back to the Xu family after the Eastern Xuan Domain Competition, ambushed by the Demon Sect, leading to her untimely death.
This had caused countless players in the previous life to lament her fate.
"I remember there was even a small Easter egg when she died. Xu Qingzhou was said to possess a Mystic Yin Divine Body, making her especially suited to be a furnace."
Chen Zhixing withdrew his gaze and looked at Ning Changyu below.
From the conversation among the Xu family members, he had already learned Ning Changyu's identity.
"The Xu family's son-in-law, Ning Changyu..."
Chen Zhixing regarded Ning Changyu with interest, his slender, fair fingers gently tapping the stone armrest.
"If I'm not mistaken, this person should be one of the main protagonists in one of the nine storylines, specifically the reincarnation arc."
"And judging by his reaction, it seems he's noticed the differences between this life and his past, causing him to lose his composure."
Chen Zhixing rested his chin in his hand, a curious thought emerging in his mind.
"If I told him right now that there is no Heavenly Lord Ning Changyu, no one standing atop the heavens gazing down at the world, and no book revealing the destinies of others—it's all just the fantasy of a despised son-in-law, scorned by the Xu family..."
"Would his mind collapse?"
