Mo Hua immediately closed his eyes, gathered his divine consciousness, and projected it outwards to perceive the energy of disaster and famine between heaven and earth, thereby deducing the internal principles of the formation.

After a moment, Mo Hua opened his eyes, frowning slightly.

“I can’t deduce anything…”

If the Heavenly Mystery Deduction could not calculate anything, it meant that these energies of disaster and famine contained…

“We must act quickly,” Luo Wuchen said gravely, his gaze fixed on the crack, that wound seemingly from the abyss of destiny, from which a strange aura slowly seeped, like an unspeakable whisper, echoing in every corner of the Source of Destiny.

Lin Wan’er frowned slightly, the jade talisman gently trembling in her palm. Purple threads of destiny power flowed at her fingertips, yet she could not reach the core of the crack. “This aura… it doesn’t seem to belong to our system of destiny,” she murmured. “It’s like some older, more primordial force.”

Li Qingfeng nodded, the Wheel of Destiny in his palm slowly rotating, golden destiny power spilling like morning light, attempting to dispel the strange aura. However, the aura seemed to be rooted in the Scroll of Destiny, and no matter what he did, he could not completely drive it away.

“This power… is attempting to corrode the core of the Scroll of Destiny,” Li Qingfeng said with a solemn tone.

“If it truly succeeds…” Chu Xingyun slowly began, his gaze as deep as an abyss, “the Scroll of Destiny will no longer be a vessel for destiny, but will become a container for some unknown will.”

“We must stop it,” Ye Lingfeng gripped his longsword, lightning flashing on its blade, his eyes as cold as frost. “No matter where it comes from, as long as it threatens this world, we must destroy it.”

Luo Wuchen slowly closed his eyes, the silver-white destiny power in his palm gently flowing, as if resonating with the entire world. He could feel the脉动 (mài dòng) of the Scroll of Destiny, and also the whispers from deep within the crack. It was not the whisper of destiny, but of something deeper, more ancient.

“The freedom of destiny is not the end, but the beginning,” Luo Wuchen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze firm as the stars. “We must find the primal power of the Source of Destiny to repair the Scroll of Destiny, and truly understand the true meaning of destiny.”

Lin Wan’er nodded gently, the jade talisman subtly vibrating in her palm. “The primal power of the Source of Destiny is hidden in the deepest part of the Scroll of Destiny. Only those who truly understand destiny can touch it.”

Li Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “The primal power of the Source of Destiny, according to legend, is the most original power of the Scroll of Destiny, and its true core. But entering the core of the Scroll of Destiny means we must face the deepest secrets of destiny.”

“The secrets of destiny…” Chu Xingyun whispered, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. “Perhaps, that is what we truly need to face.”

Ye Lingfeng gripped his longsword, lightning flashing on its blade. “No matter how dangerous the path ahead, we must face it.”

The seven slowly joined hands, their seven streams of destiny power converging into a brilliant pillar of light, soaring straight towards the core of the Scroll of Destiny. In an instant, the entire space of the Source of Destiny vibrated violently, destiny threads re-wove, the Scroll of Destiny slowly unfolded, and streaks of destiny light shone in the void, as if proclaiming the birth of a new destiny.

Deep within the Source of Destiny, an invisible door slowly opened, seemingly leading to the deepest secret realm of destiny. It was a void space, without time or space, only the whispers of destiny echoing in their ears.

“Welcome…” A deep, ancient voice resonated in the void, as if coming from an endless abyss.

Luo Wuchen’s eyes narrowed, the silver-white destiny power in his palm slowly flowing. “Who are you?”

“I am the witness of destiny, and the guardian of destiny,” the voice slowly said. “Your arrival signifies the end of destiny, and also the rebirth of destiny.”

Lin Wan’er’s jade talisman trembled, purple destiny power flowing at her fingertips. “Who exactly are you? Why are you corroding the Scroll of Destiny?”

“The Scroll of Destiny… never belonged to you,” the voice slowly said. “It is merely a vessel for destiny, and true destiny has long been forgotten.”

Li Qingfeng’s Wheel of Destiny slowly rotated in his palm, golden destiny power spilling like morning light. “What exactly do you want?”

“I want… destiny’s return,” the voice slowly said. “The freedom of destiny is not your freedom, but the freedom of destiny itself.”

Chu Xingyun’s eyes moved slightly. “Are you… the will of destiny?”

“No,” the voice slowly said. “I am an existence outside of destiny, a will beyond destiny. You have opened the Scroll of Destiny, and also the door beyond destiny.”

Ye Lingfeng gripped his longsword, lightning flashing on its blade. “Do you want to destroy the Scroll of Destiny?”

“No,” the voice slowly said. “I want to return destiny to its true master.”

Luo Wuchen slowly closed his eyes, the silver-white destiny power in his palm gently flowing. “The freedom of destiny is not for you to control it, but for every life to freely choose its own path.”

“Your choice… will determine the future of destiny,” the voice slowly said. “But are you truly ready to face the truth of destiny?”

Lin Wan’er nodded gently, the jade talisman subtly vibrating in her palm. “We are ready.”

Li Qingfeng said gravely, “The freedom of destiny will eventually come. And we, too, will become the guardians of this world.”

Chu Xingyun slowly said, “The secrets of destiny, we will eventually uncover.”

Ye Lingfeng gripped his longsword, lightning flashing on its blade. “No matter how dangerous the path ahead, we must face it.”

The seven slowly joined hands, their seven streams of destiny power converging into a brilliant pillar of light, soaring straight towards the deepest part of the Source of Destiny. In an instant, the entire space of the Source of Destiny vibrated violently, destiny threads re-wove, the Scroll of Destiny slowly unfolded, and streaks of destiny light shone in the void, as if proclaiming the birth of a new destiny.

Can the freedom of destiny truly bring true freedom?

Luo Wuchen stood in the center of the Source of Destiny, the silver-white destiny power in his palm gently flowing, as if resonating with heaven and earth. He closed his eyes, feeling the pulse of the Scroll of Destiny, but a question arose in his mind: Does the freedom of destiny truly mean no cost?

Lin Wan’er stepped lightly beside him, the jade talisman trembling slightly in her palm, purple destiny power swirling like mist around her fingertips. She looked at Luo Wuchen and whispered, “You seem to be troubled.”

Luo Wuchen opened his eyes, his gaze as deep as night. “The Scroll of Destiny has unfolded; the destinies of all beings are written by themselves. But… have we also lost the ability to control our own destinies?”

Lin Wan’er was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head. “The freedom of destiny is not for us to abandon our own destinies, but to make us understand that the true meaning of destiny lies in choice, not in being arranged.”

Li Qingfeng walked slowly, the Wheel of Destiny in his palm gently rotating, golden destiny power spilling like morning light. Hearing their conversation, he said gravely, “The unfolding of the Scroll of Destiny indeed granted freedom to all beings, but it also means we can no longer foresee the future, nor control the direction of destiny. This is a double-edged sword.”

Chu Xingyun stood by, his gaze as deep as an abyss, slowly saying, “The freedom of destiny is not without cost. It has deprived us of foresight and made it impossible to easily interfere with the destinies of others. But… it is worth it.”

Ye Lingfeng stood at the end, his longsword flashing with lightning, his eyes filled with composure and determination. He slowly spoke, “The freedom of destiny means we can no longer interfere with others in the name of destiny, but… we can still protect this world with our faith.”

The seven stood in the center of the Source of Destiny, the Scroll of Destiny slowly unfolding before them, streaks of destiny light interweaving in the void, as if narrating countless untold stories.

Just then, the Scroll of Destiny suddenly vibrated violently, and a dark thread of destiny emerged from the scroll, as if pulled by some unknown force, slowly extending into the depths of the void.

“This is…” Lin Wan’er frowned slightly, the jade talisman gently trembling, purple destiny power instantly locking onto the dark thread of destiny.

Luo Wuchen’s eyes narrowed, the silver-white destiny power in his palm slowly flowing, attempting to establish a connection with the thread. However, upon contact, he felt an unprecedented repulsive force, as if the thread did not belong to this Scroll of Destiny, but came from another unknown dimension.

“This is not a thread from our Scroll of Destiny,” Luo Wuchen murmured. “It… comes from beyond destiny.”

Li Qingfeng’s Wheel of Destiny spun rapidly, golden destiny power surged like a tide, attempting to analyze the essence of the thread. However, no matter how he cast his spells, the thread could not be controlled, as if it itself did not belong to this world.

“Beyond destiny…” Chu Xingyun whispered, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. “Could it be that… the unfolding of the Scroll of Destiny has attracted the prying eyes of other worlds?”

Ye Lingfeng slowly drew his longsword, lightning flashing on its blade, his eyes as cold as frost. “No matter where it comes from, as long as it threatens this world, we must stop it.”

Lin Wan’er waved her jade talisman, purple destiny power instantly enveloping the thread, attempting to sever it. However, the moment the purple destiny power touched the thread, the entire space of the Source of Destiny vibrated violently, and the Scroll of Destiny emitted a low wail, as if struck by some unknown force.

“Not good!” Luo Wuchen’s face changed dramatically. “It’s trying to corrode the Scroll of Destiny!”

The seven instantly joined forces, their seven streams of destiny power converging into a brilliant pillar of light, soaring straight towards the dark thread of destiny. However, the thread seemed to possess an extremely strong devouring power, actually beginning to absorb their destiny power!

“It’s absorbing our power!” Li Qingfeng shouted, “Retreat quickly!”

Luo Wuchen gritted his teeth, the silver-white destiny power in his palm instantly surged, forcibly retracting their destiny power. The seven quickly retreated, but the dark thread of destiny did not pursue them, instead slowly dissipating into the void, as if it had never existed.

However, an unhealable crack was left on the Scroll of Destiny.

“The Scroll of Destiny is damaged…” Lin Wan’er murmured, her voice carrying a hint of heaviness.

Luo Wuchen gazed at the crack, his eyes as deep as an abyss. “It seems the freedom of destiny is not without cost. We opened the Scroll of Destiny, and also attracted an existence from beyond destiny.”

Li Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “We must find a way to repair the Scroll of Destiny, otherwise, the destiny of this world will be completely out of control.”

Chu Xingyun nodded. “Damage to the Scroll of Destiny means the breaking of destiny threads. Once destiny threads break, the destinies of all beings will fall into chaos, and perhaps even… completely collapse.”

Ye Lingfeng gripped his longsword, lightning flashing. “Since the freedom of destiny has brought unknown threats, then we must become the guardians of this world.”

Lin Wan’er nodded gently, the jade talisman subtly vibrating in her palm. “The freedom of destiny is not the end, but the beginning. What we must do is protect this world, so that every life can freely choose its own path.”

Luo Wuchen slowly raised his palm, the silver-white destiny power in his palm gently flowing. “The freedom of destiny will eventually come. And we, too, will become the guardians of this world.”

The seven streams of destiny power slowly merged into the Scroll of Destiny. In an instant, the entire space of the Source of Destiny vibrated violently, destiny threads re-wove, the Scroll of Destiny slowly unfolded, and streaks of destiny light shone in the void, as if proclaiming the birth of a new destiny.

Can the freedom of destiny truly bring true freedom?

Luo Wuchen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as deep as the stars, the destiny power in his palm still flowing continuously. However, the crack remained, like an unhealable wound, constantly reminding them that the freedom of destiny was not without cost.

“The damaged Scroll of Destiny means that a rift has appeared in the order between heaven and earth,” Li Qingfeng said gravely, the Wheel of Destiny in his palm slowly rotating, golden destiny power flowing at his fingertips, attempting to repair the crack, but each attempt was blocked by an invisible barrier.

Lin Wan’er’s jade talisman trembled gently, purple destiny power swirling like mist. “This crack… seems to be sealed by some unknown force. It is not just a wound, but rather a manifestation of some will.”

Chu Xingyun stood by, his gaze as deep as an abyss. “The existence from beyond destiny… why do they want to corrode the Scroll of Destiny? What is their purpose?”

Ye Lingfeng gripped his longsword, lightning flashing on its blade, his eyes as cold as frost. “No matter what their purpose is, as long as they threaten this world, we must stop them.”

Luo Wuchen slowly raised his palm, the silver-white destiny power in his palm gently flowing. “The damaged Scroll of Destiny means that the destinies of all beings will no longer be controlled. We can no longer foresee the future, nor control the direction of destiny. But… this does not mean we are powerless.”

He took a deep breath, his gaze firm. “The freedom of destiny is not for us to abandon destiny, but for us to protect it.”

Lin Wan’er nodded gently, the jade talisman subtly vibrating in her palm. “The freedom of destiny is not the end, but the beginning. What we must do is protect this world, so that every life can freely choose its own path.”

Li Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “The damaged Scroll of Destiny means the breaking of destiny threads. We need to find the broken threads and reweave them to repair the Scroll of Destiny.”

Chu Xingyun nodded. “But once destiny threads break, they cannot be reconnected. Unless… we can find the primal power of the Source of Destiny.”

Ye Lingfeng’s eyes moved slightly. “The primal power of the Source of Destiny… Legend has it, that is the most original power of the Scroll of Destiny, and its true core.”

Luo Wuchen’s gaze was deep. “The primal power of the Source of Destiny is hidden in the deepest part of the Scroll of Destiny. Only those who truly understand destiny can touch it.”

Lin Wan’er gently said, “This means we must enter the core of the Scroll of Destiny to find the primal power of the Source of Destiny.”

Li Qingfeng nodded. “But the core of the Scroll of Destiny is the most dangerous place in the Scroll of Destiny. Not only is it filled with unknown powers, but it also hides the deepest secrets of destiny.”

Chu Xingyun slowly said, “The secrets of destiny… perhaps, that is what we truly need to face.”

Ye Lingfeng gripped his longsword, lightning flashing on its blade. “No matter how dangerous the path ahead, we must face it.”

Luo Wuchen slowly closed his eyes, the silver-white destiny power in his palm gently flowing. “The freedom of destiny will eventually come. And we, too, will become the guardians of this world.”

The seven slowly joined hands, their seven streams of destiny power converging into a brilliant pillar of light, soaring straight towards the core of the Scroll of Destiny. In an instant, the entire space of the Source of Destiny vibrated violently, destiny threads re-wove, the Scroll of Destiny slowly unfolded, and streaks of destiny light shone in the void, as if proclaiming the birth of a new destiny.
