Chapter 611: Guided by Destiny, the Trinity Technique is Here!
Zhao Jian was in a state of utter confusion, with no idea what to do. Should he run now? If he did, it would surely draw the attention of this True God. Wouldn't that just expose him? The Heavenly King Mountain would easily find out about his existence. He felt as if he had walked into a dead end. The only chance of survival was to stay and pretend to be dead, but that would depend on luck. If the people from the Heavenly King Mountain discovered him, he would be doomed.
"What terrible luck, such a low-probability event actually happened to me." Zhao Jian thought to himself. He had a Dao Lord divine his fate and another Dao Lord guide his destiny, and yet he still encountered this situation.
"Perhaps, by sacrificing me, others can succeed." He could only think this way. After all, under the guidance of destiny, he wasn't the only one who entered the Abandoned Land. Sacrificing many to achieve one. As long as someone found the Trinity Technique, it would be a success. The current Universal Alliance was facing internal and external troubles. Although the combat power of those Dao Lords was astonishing, they couldn't stand up to the numerous Daoist Gods. Not to mention those terrifying Daoist Gods who had survived the Three Disasters and Three Tribulations. Even if those Dao Lords restored their peak combat power, they would still need to avoid them. After all, surviving the Three Disasters and Three Tribulations was a different concept altogether.
After some thought, Zhao Jian decided to continue hiding and lying low. Meanwhile, as Qi Yuan's voice spread across the world, dramatic changes began to occur. More and more people chose to have faith in Qi Yuan. In a mall, Qi Yuan sat calmly on a small train. Looking ahead, he saw children with peculiar appearances. Some had sharp, jagged teeth, densely packed like saws; others had tails.
"There are many mutations... once they fully mutate, they become... food." This world was also a world under a curse. The cursed areas made Qi Yuan particularly uncomfortable. Since coming to this world, he hadn't even had Pig's Foot Rice, duck leg rice, or soda. This world was quite chaotic. Chicken wings being grilled on a hot plate looked to Qi Yuan like human mutant wings. Though it was supposed to be grilled fish, it was actually fried fish, and if you cut it open, you could see burnt fingers and greasy ears inside.
"The people of this world... are sick, but they don't realize it." Qi Yuan sighed. In the Sky Federation, at least people knew that Incubi feared them and thus resisted them. But in this world, humans were continuously transforming into "ingredients." Once they became ingredients, they would be chopped up and made into meals. Wives chopped up their husbands and stored them in the fridge; mothers pickled their children. They did these things as a matter of course, without feeling anything was amiss. Those who remained normal and unmutated were a minority and were considered sick, confined to their homes.
"I told you, the world is sick, but no one believes me!" Duke Nar, a young girl dressed in a long skirt and lace shawl, raised her head with a determined look on her face.
"The world is indeed sick, and it's very serious." Qi Yuan sighed. Coming to the Abandoned Land, he had thoroughly witnessed the diversity of species and the various chaotic and insane events.
"You understand me, Vampire Emperor. They are all sick, only I am not!" The little girl pursed her lips, thinking of something, and continued, "Actually, these years, while I was confined to my room, I wasn't idle. I have been researching the truth and the essence of the world."
Mentioning this, a look of longing and fanaticism appeared on the little girl's face.
"Oh?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up. Another genius?
"What are your insights, Duke Nar?" Qi Yuan asked eagerly.
"I discovered... the world is cyclical, a loop." Duke Nar's words were startling.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan was thoughtful. Could Duke Nar be a reincarnated Dao Lord? Or is this grand world truly brimming with talented individuals? Every person he met seemed to be a true genius.
"Are we still alive? In reality, we are on the path to death. From the moment we are born, we start walking towards death."
"Death is the beginning of rebirth."
"The world is the same, starting from its inception and gradually moving towards destruction."
"The events we experience today have happened before. I have seen you before, and our conversation today has also happened before."
"Do you ever get the feeling that something seems to have happened before?"
Duke Nar spoke earnestly, looking at Qi Yuan with her white, tender hand resting on his shoulder.
"I fell this morning, my hand landed in dog feces, and I didn't get up immediately because I felt that... this had happened before."
The Abandoned Lands
Qi Yuan glanced at the girl's fair hand and discreetly cast a cleansing spell on his shoulder.
"It's not just your imagination; it's a glitch, a bug in the world's fabric." Duke Nar spoke with conviction, "The universe keeps restarting, caught in an endless loop. What past? What future? Tomorrow is today's future, but in another dimension, today is tomorrow's distant future."
Duke Nar's words carried a philosophical weight.
"Brilliant!" Qi Yuan couldn't help but praise, then continued, "Would you consider working for me?"
He valued Duke Nar's intellect and wanted to keep him close.
"You are the Vampire Emperor, and I'm merely a duke. It's only right for a duke to serve the emperor," Duke Nar replied earnestly.
"There's a problem that has been bothering me for a long time," Qi Yuan revealed his request, "I appoint you as my Chief Strategist, and I want you to help me understand... what is a Radiant Sage?"
This Duke Nar, not even an Extraordinary Being, had realized that many universes were caught in a cycle.
Qi Yuan knew he had found a true genius. With Nar's help, understanding the Radiant Sage should be simple.
Duke Nar furrowed his brows, then finally spoke, "I will not fail your trust."
Meanwhile, Zhao Jian, driving his small train, listened to the conversation behind him, his heart pounding with fear.
He suspected that the True God had discovered him.
Soon, he realized it wasn't just a suspicion; it was the truth.
"Hey, why don't you worship me?"
Unbeknownst to Zhao Jian, Qi Yuan had appeared at the front of the small train.
Zhao Jian's thoughts raced.
It seemed like trouble was brewing.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know this is the Abandoned Lands?" Zhao Jian asked.
At the same time, he honked the horn.
Ahead, a dog on a leash and a person tethered by a rope, lying on the ground, blocked the way.
"I know." Qi Yuan seemed unbothered.
Hearing this, Zhao Jian's heart sank further.
The True God before him, influenced by the Abandoned Lands, seemed to have his thoughts in disarray.
Zhao Jian had secretly observed Qi Yuan for some time.
It was clear that something was amiss.
"Fellow Daoist, staying here might attract the True God's pursuit," Zhao Jian politely warned.
"How dare they come after the Vampire Emperor? Don't they know that in this world, good always triumphs over evil? Anyone who dares to harm the Emperor becomes a stepping stone for his greatness!" Duke Nar interjected passionately.
Qi Yuan found himself liking Duke Nar even more.
He was a lawful good character.
In every story, he was the ultimate winner.
Well, except for those evil ntr and hentai ones, of course.
Those weren't stories or books anyway!
Zhao Jian shrugged, unsure how to respond, "Fellow Daoist, if the True God comes after you, can you please not reveal my presence?"
He asked tentatively, hoping to communicate since the other's mind seemed compromised.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel pity.
A True God, his mind corrupted by the Abandoned Lands.
He could easily manipulate and extract information from him.
"I can, but you must tell me why you came here," Qi Yuan stared at Zhao Jian.
"I came here... to escape my enemies," Zhao Jian admitted.
"Duke Nar, what kind of person usually lies?" Qi Yuan ignored Zhao Jian, turning to the girl.
She quickly replied, "Usually, they harbor ill intentions, but there are also a few who tell white lies."
"I don't sense any good intentions." Qi Yuan's gaze remained on Zhao Jian, his expression calm.
For some reason, being stared down by those calm eyes, Zhao Jian's back stiffened, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he could die if he made any sudden moves.
In a 1619 version, he realized there was no need to hide.
Moreover, searching for the Trinity Law wasn't a secret.
"I came here to search for the Trinity Law."
"The Trinity Law?" Qi Yuan was surprised, "Is the Trinity Law hidden in the Abandoned Lands?"
During this time, he had been working hard to enhance his power and foundation.
He had absorbed a plethora of random constitutions and bloodlines.
But about the Trinity Law, he had no leads.
“According to a senior, the Trinity Law might be somewhere in the Abandoned Lands.”
“The Abandoned Lands are so vast, how will you find it?” Qi Yuan asked, puzzled.
He felt that the senior's words, as spoken by Zhao Jian, were almost meaningless.
Qi Yuan could say that the Trinity Law was in the Grand World.
The Abandoned Lands, in scale, might not be smaller than the Grand World.
Zhao Jian hesitated, recalling the previous terrifying feeling, but finally spoke, “The senior gave me a special artifact, the Heavenly Mandate, which will guide me to find the Trinity Law.”
"The Destiny Guide, also known as the Guide of Fate.
Fate, a mysterious and divine force, is both revered and feared.
During the Radiant Sage stage, nearly all Radiant Sages perceive Fate as a terrifying path.
However, upon reaching the Dao Lord Realm, Fate seems to become a laughing matter.
As the world cycles, everything is predetermined and reenacted.
Who can manipulate fate?
It is merely fate that plays with us.
'Why don't I help you find the Trinity Technique, and when we obtain it, we can each have a portion?' Qi Yuan suggested.
He was also curious about the Trinity Technique.
Firstly, it might genuinely be useful.
Secondly, he wondered if there was any difference between this so-called Trinity Technique and the concept of the Unity of the Three Purities.
Zhao Jian hesitated.
He certainly didn't want to accompany Qi Yuan.
After all, with Qi Yuan's high-profile nature, it was possible that the Heavenly King Mountain Alliance had already been monitoring him, waiting for the right moment to strike.
But now, as a vulnerable prey, his life was in Qi Yuan's control.
'This...' Zhao Jian's expression became troubled, and he eventually chose to be sincere, 'Fellow Daoist, under the watchful eyes of some True Gods, they could attack at any moment. If I accompany you in the search, I might perish before we even find it.'
'You're too cautious. I've been here for over a hundred years, and I'm still doing fine,' Qi Yuan said lazily.
Unconcerned.
Indeed, over the past hundred years, countless True Gods had come to cause him trouble.
He had fought off the small ones, then the big ones, and then the old ones.
After an unknown number of killings, no one had come for a long time.
He had been at peace for over sixty years.
Zhao Jian's eyes widened in shock upon hearing this.
A hundred years?
Still alive?
A terrifying thought formed in his mind.
Could it be that Qi Yuan is one of those infamous individuals on the list?
Within that mysterious force, every day, tasks were issued to hunt down or dissuade True Gods who had strayed into the Abandoned Lands.
But some stubborn individuals, who repeatedly failed to be hunted or dissuaded, would end up on the list.
Some of them could no longer be considered True Gods, as their bodies were so cursed that no one was willing to deal with them.
Zhao Jian's heart raced with fear, and he wanted to distance himself from Qi Yuan.
Even though he wore a special armor, he was still afraid that the curse of misfortune and sinking might infect him, leaving him not far from death.
At that moment, he realized why no True Gods had come to hunt down the Origin Venerable.
It turned out that Qi Yuan was a notorious monster on the list.
This was both a good and bad thing.
'Fellow Daoist, you should be cautious. Every ten thousand years, a Dao God will descend upon the Abandoned Lands to eradicate those infamous True Gods on the list,' Zhao Jian reminded him.
'A mere True God wouldn't dare to take on a monster on the list. When the time comes, a Dao God will personally take action. With their grandeur and power, you have no chance against them,' he explained.
'It's fine. There's still time. Who knows, by then, I might have already passed through the Three Disasters and Tribulations,' Qi Yuan remained unconcerned.
Although he wasn't a match for a Dao God at present, he still had room for growth.
Zhao Jian understood that the Origin Venerable's illness was severe, and explaining would be futile.
'Since it's like this, I'll use the Destiny Guide to see if there's any indication from fate,' Zhao Jian resigned himself.
Following a notorious monster on the list did have its advantages.
At least, no True Gods from the Heavenly King Mountain Alliance would come to bother him.
With this thought, a Celestial Compass appeared in Zhao Jian's hand.
The Celestial Compass was crafted from the Sun Radiant Stone, Flame Frost, and Glowing Charm, and it carried the power of fate.
'Fate is in my hands, guide me to the Trinity Technique!'
Zhao Jian immediately activated his Dao technique, using the Destiny Guide to interpret the Celestial Compass's indications.
Usually, these indications were very faint, at most providing a vague direction, making it extremely difficult to locate anything.
It was like finding a needle in a haystack.
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened that caught Zhao Jian off guard.
The Destiny Guide Celestial Compass suddenly burst into a brilliant light.
It started spinning rapidly, its speed exceeding the speed of light.
“How can it react like this!” Zhao Jian exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock and awe, and also confusion.
Could it be... is the Trinity Technique nearby?
About seventy-seven and forty-nine breaths passed, and the Destiny Guide's spinning slowed down.
Eventually, its speed dropped to zero, coming to a complete stop.
And the position indicated by the Destiny Guide was exactly where Qi Yuan was.
“The Trinity Technique... is on you?” Zhao Jian exclaimed, his eyes wide with joy and various questions.
Could it be so simple to find the Trinity Technique?
In this world, there really is such a thing as the Trinity Technique!
