Chapter 117 The Power of the Great Luo
Inside the Nuwa Palace, sensing the change in the human race's fortune, Nuwa frowned and gently stroked the void.
Instantly, the secrets of heaven seemed to be veiled by a thin gauze, becoming blurred and unpredictable.
An invisible aura emerged, enveloping the entire shore of the East Sea, completely concealing the Great Luo Golden Immortal aura emanating from Feng Zichen.
"Who?"
In the primordial world, a strange Great Luo Golden Immortal aura suddenly appeared. Although this aura vanished in an instant, the senses of the powerful beings were extremely sharp, and they detected it the moment it appeared.
"Hmm? Gone!"
After scanning the primordial world for a moment, the powerful beings found no new Great Luo Golden Immortal. Puzzled, they silently calculated in their minds.
"Huh, nothing?"
In the eyes of the powerful beings, the secrets of heaven were normal, the river of fate was quiet, and no new Great Luo Golden Immortal was born, as if the Great Luo aura just now was an illusion.
Instantly, the powerful beings understood that a higher-level being had intervened, concealing the secrets of heaven and preventing them from seeing them.
Knowing the other party had a great background, the powerful beings immediately suppressed their curiosity and regained their composure.
Only some top-tier powerful beings turned their gazes towards the location of Nuwa's Palace, their expressions inscrutable, lost in thought.
...
Blessed by the fortune of the human race, Feng Zichen felt his true spirit rising continuously, ascending to the heavens.
As his true spirit rose, his vision also expanded, allowing him to see the myriad beings of the primordial world.
Boom!
A loud bang resounded, and his true spirit traversed countless layers of space, arriving above the River of Destiny.
Standing in the void, Feng Zichen looked down at the River of Destiny. He saw specks of light, hazy and indistinct, some large, some small, struggling desperately in the river, trying to leap upwards and escape.
Unfortunately, compared to the River of Destiny, their power was far too insignificant. A single wave could knock them down, sending them plummeting to the bottom, carried away by the current.
In a daze, Feng Zichen seemed to understand something. Those specks of light represented the destinies of all living beings—birds, beasts, fish, insects, plants, rivers, and all creatures, sentient and insentient. As long as they hadn't reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, their destinies were transformed into specks of light, falling into this river.
The moment each being was born, their fate was already predetermined by the Heavenly Dao, following a set trajectory, step by step, towards their final destination.
Cultivation was the beginning of changing one's destiny.
As one's cultivation level increased, the specks of light representing destiny would become brighter and stronger, constantly struggling in the River of Destiny, trying to change their predetermined fate.
Until, upon becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one would rise from the River of Destiny and transcend it.
Feng Zichen's gaze swept over the destinies of countless beings, looking into the depths of the River of Destiny, seeking to find his own glimmer of fate within its vast expanse.
The vision of a Great Luo Immortal is profoundly mysterious, encompassing the entire world, discerning all secrets, witnessing the suffering and joy of countless beings, and observing all the forms and appearances of the world.
Past, present, and future are all within the Great Luo Immortal's eyes.
With the Great Luo Immortal's vision, peering into the River of Destiny, how could the mist floating above it obscure Feng Zichen's gaze?
In the blink of an eye, he saw through layers of mist, unraveling countless destinies, and finding his own glimmer of light among the endless light of life's destinies.
This light was dazzling, flowing with purple light, flawless and round, like a pearl, like a star, surrounded by a Daoist aura, giving rise to countless phenomena.
When Feng Zichen's gaze touched it, streaks of purple light flew out from it, transforming into Feng Zichen's image, depicting his various futures.
In these futures, Feng Zichen might die a tragic death at the hands of ferocious beasts, be killed by the demon race, or become a sect leader… good and bad, all were possible, but the possibility of him attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was nowhere near his limit; it seemed that the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm was his ultimate goal.
"Hmph!"
"You think you can disrupt my Dao heart with this? You're dreaming!"
With a cold snort, Feng Zichen suddenly waved his hand, erasing all the futures derived from his destiny.
In the primordial world, apart from innate gods and demons, regardless of whether one is born with or born with the past, the ultimate goal of any living being is the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. This is a restriction imposed by the Heavenly Dao upon all living beings.
The Great Luo Golden Immortal is the embodiment of the Great Dao, an existence that occupies the very origin of heaven and earth. Each additional Great Luo Golden Immortal increases the burden on heaven and earth. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao dislikes Great Luo Golden Immortals.
Thus, apart from innate gods and demons who are the very origin of heaven and earth, any living being who aspires to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal faces immense difficulties.
The evolution of the River of Destiny, firmly grasping the fate of all beings, setting their destinies and planning their future, is the strongest means by which the Heavenly Dao prevents the birth of Great Luo Golden Immortals.
Transcending the River of Destiny means taking control of one's own destiny, not the heavens', reclaiming it from the hands of the Heavenly Dao.
Within the River of Destiny, a five-colored flame quietly appeared, enveloping Feng Zichen's destiny and gradually concealing his form. Though still within the River of Destiny, he was no longer visible, similar to transcendence.
"Is this what a Great Luo Golden Immortal is? So powerful!"
The moment his destiny disappeared, Feng Zichen underwent a complete transformation.
Unparalleled power appeared within him; the laws of heaven and earth clearly appeared before his eyes, all the great Daos seemed within reach, the past and future manifested in his heart, almost omnipotent.
"Change the past and future? Truly unbelievable!" Under this power, Feng Zichen felt he could freely alter the past and arbitrarily shape the future.
However, just as he was about to unleash this ability, a vast divine power emanated from the deepest part of that spacetime, startling him so much that he quickly extinguished the thought.
Feng Zichen believed that if he dared to recklessly manipulate spacetime, Mount Buzhou would absolutely suppress him without any mercy.
"Alas! Born in the primordial world, these Great Luo Golden Immortals, should they be worried or happy?" With a sigh, Feng Zichen left the River of Destiny and returned to his physical body.
Being in the primordial world, although he lost the ability to reverse the passage of time, he saw a possibility of going further, truly a blessing in disguise.
From the entry of human destiny into his body to his return from the River of Destiny, the series of events Feng Zichen experienced seemed to take a long time, but in reality, it was only a fleeting moment; everyone's consciousness remained in the previous instant.
This was because the concept of time for the Great Luo Golden Immortals had undergone a fundamental change.
Although they were in the River of Spacetime, they were not affected by it, existing outside of time, able to freeze spacetime in a single thought, and to change the world in a single thought.
Just now, under the influence of Feng Zichen's unleashed Great Luo Power, time for everyone had frozen. As a result, upon his return, everyone stood there, their faces grim, motionless.
"Withdraw!" Seeing this, Feng Zichen quickly withdrew his aura.
Instantly, the frozen time resumed its flow, and everyone's expressions began to brighten.
