1865 Gift From Fate, The Test For Emperor Tribe
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm
Tian Xingying looked at the figure on top of the throne, who looked as though he was the ruler of all, rather confused.
"Who are you?"
"Master of Destiny."
"Master of Destiny? Can you fulfill my wish?" Tian Xingying asked probingly.
"Of course, but the gift from destiny is not without a cost. Whatever you seek, you shall offer the equal or more."
"I want Cai'er back! I want power! I want the power to overthrow the Emperor Tribe! As long as I have enough power, I can offer whatever I have, including my life!" Tian Xingying said loudly.
"Very well. Destiny admires you," Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
Then, he raised his hand. Destiny's authority appeared and surrounded Tian Xingying, boosting his power immediately.
The cultivation base that he lost was also recovered.
Not only that but his cultivation level also skyrocketed.
Peak Gilded Immortal, Arch Gilded Immortal, Trinity Flower Arch Gilded Immortal, Five Qi Arch Gilded Immortal, Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal…
It only stopped when he reached the peak of Arch Gilded Immortal Realm.
Tian Xingying suddenly felt like he could see a barrier in front of him.
It was the barrier between the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm and Embodier Realm.
He felt like if he worked a little harder, he could break through into the Embodier Realm.
What kind of power was that?
How could it boost his cultivation base from nothing to a Peak Arch Gilded Immortal Realm and infinitely closer to the Embodier Realm? It was unbelievable!
The Master of Destiny…
Was he the master who controlled the destiny of all living beings?
"Thank you, Master of Destiny!" Tian Xingying knelt immediately.
"Don't celebrate just yet. I said the gift of destiny is not without cost. It might seem like a gift, but destiny has taken its toll without you knowing, including this newly gained strength."
Tian Xinying was surprised. Then, he took a deep breath and asked, "What is the toll?"
"Ten days. You only have ten days to live. You have the Stardust King Physique, and I have brought out its full potential for you, allowing you to possess the power of the Great Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal for now. However, you are left with ten days to live," Chu Kuangren said.
Destiny's authority was mystical but not omnipotent.
"Ten days…" Tian Xingying muttered.
Then, a strong resolve appeared in his eyes as he said, "That's enough! I said if I can save Cai'er, I will pay whatever the price, including my life!"
"Yes. Destiny admires your courage. Here is an extra gift. Catch," Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
He swung his sleeve forward, and a long sword manifested in front of Tian Xingying.
The blade of the sword was glimmering like the stars as if it was made from the galaxy.
"This is the… Premium Innate Supreme Treasure!" Tian Xinying gasped in shock.
The Premium Innate Supreme Treasure was not a gift that could be given to anyone. There was only a limited number of items of such rarity.
However, the Master of Destiny gave it to him!
How generous!
The sword was one of the prizes that Chu Kuangren got from the Fantasy Roulette in the past ten years. However, he already had the Void Sword, so he wanted to make good use of the sword by giving it to Tian Xingying.
"I've unlocked the restriction on this sword, so you can use it however you like. The strength of the sword depends on how strong you are. Go and finish what you've started. Destiny is waiting for your magnificent show," Chu Kuangren said.
Tian Xingying then disappeared from the Divine Destiny Temple.
After Tian Xingying left, the Temple Spirit asked, "Master, why do you favor him so much? He now possesses the power of an Embodier, but he only has ten more days to live."
On day eleven, he would disappear into nothing.
Why would the Divine Destiny Temple want a dead person? What value could he bring?
The previous fated one, Wu Jizi, was a Primordial, and one could imagine what kind of value he would bring to Divine Destiny Temple.
"Destiny has everything planned out," Chu Kuangren said mysteriously with his hands behind his back.
He got up and wanted to leave.
"The Master is leaving," the Temple Spirit announced respectfully without asking further.
Then, Chu Kuangren's figure disappeared from the hall.
The grand and solemn Divine Destiny Temple was left with a few lit oil lamps, waiting for the next fated one.
…
Back on the Heavenly Star Tribe's planet, a figure suddenly reappeared from the void.
He was Tian Xingying but was no longer the wretched self that he was before. On the contrary, he emanated a strong aura.
The absolute power of an Arch Gilded Immortal spread and shook the stars.
The people of the Heavenly Star Tribe were shocked.
"What a powerful aura! Is that the Stardust King Physique? But only the Divine Maiden and the Bachelor Sage possess it!"
"The Divine Maiden, Cai'er, has been taken away by the emissary, and the Bachelor Sage has been crippled by the tribe leader. How could it be?"
"I believe this power surpasses even the tribe leader."
All of them were surprised.
That was when a figure rose to the sky.
When the people saw the figure, they were shocked by the terrifying aura the man emanated, and their expressions turned strange.
More importantly, they recognized the man!
It was Tian Xingying!
"How is this possible? How did Tian Xingying acquire such terrifying power? What happened?"
"Oh my god…"
None of them could believe their eyes.
Somewhere in the galaxy, Chu Kuangren walked out from the void.
He looked in the direction where Tian Xingying left and smiled. "Tian Xingying, go and vent your grievance as much as you want! Your wrath will be a test for the Emperor Tribe!"
After Chu Kuangren broke through into the Embodier Realm, he had plans to take down the Emperor Tribe. However, the Emperor Tribe remained powerful and well-resourced, so he had to test how deep the water was before acting recklessly.
Fortunately, he learned that the Heavenly Star Bachelor Sage was in possession of one of the Divine Destiny Temple's Life Cards and planned that little experiment.
Tian Xingying was granted the power to test the Emperor Tribe for Chu Kuangren.
It was also the reason why Chu Kuangren did not form a contract with him and gave him a Premium Supreme Innate Treasure, even when he only had ten days left to live.
The stronger Tian Xingyin was, the better the experiment result would be.
The Divine Destiny Temple never dealt in a losing deal.
The gift of destiny must be repaid with equivalent value.
He gave Tian Xingying power, and Tian Xingying became his chess piece to test the Emperor Tribe, which was his real goal.
As for Tian Xingying's limited life span, it was the cost he paid for power, which was nothing to the Divine Destiny Temple.
Somewhere in the universe, an ancient planet was surrounded by countless golden Daoist law rings.
Multiple temples were erected on the land and scattered across the continent.
Anyone could tell at first glance that the planet was wealthy with all kinds of cultivation resources.
The planet was one of the Emperor Tribe's territories.
A warship arrived from the sky.
On the ship was the emissary, who was assigned to collect the offerings from the affiliated tribes, named Di Hun.
Not only did he collect all kinds of treasures, but he even got himself a few beautiful women.
Collecting women was his hobby. He had collected more than a thousand beautiful women and housed them all in the temple where he lived.
"The emissary of the Emperor Tribe is really a great job." Di Hun smiled happily.
He looked at one of the beautiful women beside him. She was one of his favorite spoils from this trip — Tian Xingcai, the Divine Maiden of the Heavenly Star Tribe.
