Chapter 692 - 687: Karmic Gain

Chapter 692 - 687: Karmic Gain

The torrential wave of golden liquid infused with sparkling stars and endless gossamers took over the entire world. Wei Wuyin's entire view, even his spiritual sense, was unable to grasp the sheer enormity of its size. He was overwhelmed and its arrival was imminent.

It was as if he was seeing the blood of the heavens, rushing towards him as if it was seeking him out like a predator. It barreled towards him with such twistedly forceful momentum that his heart and mind stilled as if it had been influenced by its time stopping effects. If he hadn't come to the conclusion that this event benefited him, he would've thought that the Heavenly Daos had learned of his existence as a Bloodline of Sin Inheritor and was using its everything to crush him out of very imaginable reality!

Yet the sight before him produced some doubt. Was this the moment of his death? When faced with the possibility, no matter how slight, his heart and mind still flowed smoothly. He had no fear. He had no regrets. The mental images of Su Mei, Bai Lin, Na Xinyi, Xue Yifei, and all the others that were connected to him entered his thoughts. Be it his subordinates, his women, those he had yet to court, plans he had yet to complete, there was not a single negative thought of leaving them behind.

From the moment he saw his life end by Long Chen's hands, forced to be confronted with the reality that his death could happen at any time, he had decided to live his entire life without the concept of regret in his heart. He had done everything he could at this time, and if time or events didn't allow it, he wasn't dissatisfied or frustrated. When he overcame the Second Calamity, he overcame the last fetters of such restrictions. Without a single iota of such negative, contrived emotion nestled his Heart of Cultivation, he stood firm and revealed a faint upward arc on his lips.

The glint in his eyes wasn't peaceful, however, but revealed a determined light. The light within those silver irises were blazing at an unimaginable temperature, effusing out an immeasurable level of self-confidence. While Wei Wuyin had no regrets facing the possibility of death, in the same vein of thinking: he wasn't one to surrender to fate.

Never again.

Kratos and Eden echoed his sentiments. Even while facing this gargantuan scene of golden liquid that seemed ready to snuff them out, their thoughts matched his own. Ori and King rumbled slightly, threatening to shatter their bindings completely.

A will to go against all, even the heavens, for a chance to never regret manifested. With his pride brought to the forefront of his existence, he was willing to face anything and everything! The Heavenly Daos couldn't suppress such genuine momentum!

Sometimes, events that weren't meant to stimulate certain aspects of someone's existence would. The Heavenly Daos' attempt to reward Wei Wuyin had triggered something within him, allowing him to realize that he was always directly facing an existence far, far beyond him. But as if staring at the sun, he wasn't fearful of its radiance and dared to challenge it! Just the thought alone was boundlessly beneficial to his mental strength.

In the future, he knew as a Bloodline of Sin inheritor, the Heavenly Daos will likely be an enemy of his whether he wanted it to or not. Witnessing the slightest trace of its power, exposed to such means, he had come to the realization of that eventuality. So even today, as a mere mortal, he refused to surrender with his heart afraid or his thoughts in disarray.

Be it the First Sinner, the Heavenly Daos, Unseen Divinities, or the entire cultivation world, he wouldn't have any regret or fear facing them! To his last breath...

OOOOOOOM!

Wei Wuyin's thoughts were deeply interrupted after the golden ocean of liquid crashed into him. It didn't move him the slightest, flowing around him like slithering eels and entering his glabella as a continuous stream. The speed at which the golden liquid decreased in quantity increased alongside the funneling intensity. Wei Wuyin felt the Heavenly Daos' presence closer than ever before.

Wei Wuyin's thoughts were fueled by these two words. A mystery that even he couldn't describe. A benevolent divinity of legends that was said to have taught various intricate and necessary things to living beings to thrive and a single word that resonated with his very soul. A character that no one else could understand, just like the symbols on the Bloodline of Sin tattoo.

Just now, when he glimpsed into the Heavenly Daos' true secrets, he suffered. Yet at the final bit, when his consciousness had almost faded entirely, with only a single trace of it remaining, a warmth suffused his entire soul and he returned.

He felt that warmth like a gentle hand. It placed itself on his soul, protecting him from the Heavenly Daos instincts to protect itself. Wei Wuyin knew that it was Fuxi. He instinctively knew, and even a soft, kind warning was left in his mind: "Not yet, little one."

Wei Wuyin clenched his open palm into a fierce fist, shattering the 'Magi' character into bits. But he wasn't angry, in fact, his eyes reflected his genuine excitement. What just happened was the Heavenly Daos' instinctual action to protect itself and its secrets, but those four words indicated that one day, he would have the ability to view it all!

How could one not be excited?!

The Inheritor of Sin is about fighting against the Heavenly Daos, but he felt that Fuxi represented something far, far greater. His worldview had just gotten so much bigger. And this furthered his interest in the Tiangou, the Star-Devourer. What connections does it have?

That being said, he still had to take it one step at a time. As long as he didn't meet a premature end, he trusted that all these questions he held in his heart would be answered. And if he did perish beforehand, it was okay all the same. As long as he set foot on the path with courage and will to see the end, no matter what happened, he'd strive to live without regrets.

"...!"

Wei Wuyin had nearly forgotten about his Karmic Luck Value. Since there wasn't any sensation or indication before during the unnamed Commander's demise, he expected something similar here, but his mind had forgotten that after being filled with all sorts of thoughts.

With a vigorous pull of his right sleeve, he looked at the Bloodline of Sin's tattoo. Last he checked, it was 14,220.5. A very high Karmic Luck Value.

Ba-dum! Ba-dum! Ba-dum!

His heart pounded thunderously.

Karmic Luck Value: 43,053.0.

First Calamity: Survived - 7/7.

Second Calamity: Claimed - 1/1.

Third Calamity: Suppressed - 43 Years.
