1771 Wu Jizi, Master Of Destiny, Destiny’s Authority

“I understand. There’s no rush in completing the Life Contracts. How many more are there that destiny favors?”

“There are six hundred and sixty-six more Life Cards from the Divine Temple that are yet to be retrieved.”

A Life Card was a token distributed by the Divine Temple, and the card holders were those that destiny favored.

When the card holders felt extreme dissatisfaction about their destiny, they could activate the Life Card to come here.

However, since the Divine Destiny Temple had been without a lord for a long time, all the Life Cards had remained inactive. Now, Chu Kuangren was here.

“Master, there is a card holder who is dissatisfied with his destiny now. Do you want to transport him to the Divine Destiny Temple?”

“Sure. Let him come.” Chu Kuangren nodded.

“Yes”

On an ancient planet in a certain universe, a white-robed elderly stared at the chaotic lightning tribulation overflowing with heaven’s might. His expression spelled dissatisfaction and grievance.

“I failed. I have prepared a lot for this ascension, and I even have three clones of the same realm. Why did I fail? Is achieving Primordial Realm that difficult? I refuse to accept it!” the elderly man shouted angrily at the sky.

However, the chaotic lightning tribulation in the sky continued to rumble, and its terrifying aura made the elderly shudder.

Kakroom!

A bolt of lightning that could shatter the heavens struck down from the sky.

The power of that bolt of lightning destroyed the planet the elderly was on.

“It’s over” the elderly man said with his eyes closed.

He had accepted his cruel destiny, but then, a golden token at his waist shone brightly.

“What?”

The elderly man was surprised.

He acquired the golden tablet during his early days. It was covered with complicated patterns, and even he had no idea what the tablet could do. He found it interesting, so he carried it with him ever since.

Why would it shine at that peculiar timing?

The scenery before his eyes changed, and he found himself before a golden temple.

“W-Where am I?”

The elderly man looked around the new environment and was confused about why he was teleported there.

Everything before his eyes was astonishing.

The runes that were carved on the pillars were so profound that even he could not understand them.

On top of that, the wall has a peculiarly lit candle, and it gave him the creeps.

It felt like the ember on the candle could burn him to cinders.

Was the Divine Flame the light source of the temple?

Who would the Temple Lord be?

The elderly man gulped and looked ahead. At the highest point of the temple, a figure shrouded in mist was sitting on a golden throne.

Although he could not get a clear look at the figure’s face, the figure emanated an unusual energy presence.

It gave the elderly man the urge to kneel even though he was an Embodier trying to break through to become a Primordial.

The figure must be someone who had transcended beyond the Universal Dao! He must be someone of the Heaven level!

It must be the figure who summoned him into the temple, but why?

The elderly man was intrigued.

The man on the throne was Chu Kuangren.

As he looked at the elderly man, related information appeared in his mind.

The elderly man’s name was Wu Jizi, who was trying to ascend to Primordial Realm, but due to the lack of power, he failed the ascension and was on the verge of dying. Then, he was transported here.

“You who destiny favors, welcome to the Divine Destiny Temple,” Chu Kuangren said.

His voice sounded powerful, and it carried a strong sense of superiority and power.

With the temple’s buff, it was as if he had become the supreme ruler above all the heavens.

“Greetings, senior.”

Wu Jizi had no idea what the Divine Destiny Temple was, but he dared not be disrespectful. He quickly bowed and greeted Chu Kuangren.

“You can call me the Master of Destiny.”

Master of Destiny!

The name echoed in Wu Jizi’s mind and was branded into the deepest part of his soul. He shuddered when he heard the name.

The senior called himself the Master of Destiny!

If he had the confidence to call himself master of something, he must be someone among the level of the Heaven.

“I’m Wu Jizi. Greetings, Master of Destiny. I would like to know why I’m here.”

“You possess the Life Card that destiny distributes, meaning you’re the one who destiny favors. Therefore, you have one chance to perform a trade with destiny. Tell me what you wish for,” Chu Kuangren said.

“Life Card” Wu Jizi knew he was referring to the golden tablet that he coincidentally acquired during his early days. He did not expect the golden tablet to be something of importance.

A trade with destiny?

Wu Jizi had a feeling that it might be a great opportunity for him.

“I want to be a Transcendentalist!” he said.

Everyone within the Universal Dao’s cage ultimately wished to transcend beyond the Universal Dao.

Only by surpassing the Universal Dao, one could escape from its restrictions and become truly free.

“Destiny is fair. If you want to acquire something from destiny, please make an equivalent offer.”

“Becoming a Transcendentalist is a good wish, but unfortunately, I cannot see any equivalent value in you that is worthy to be traded for this wish,” Chu Kuangren said.

“I” Wu Jizi was embarrassed as he realized he was over-demanding.

Fortunately, the Master of Destiny was not mad about it.

“What do you offer in return?”

A quick thought later, Wu Jizi offered a scripture. “This is the technique to refine the External Body Manifestation, and it’s my life’s work. Please take it, Master of Destiny.”

Chu Kuangren lifted his hand, and the scripture flew into his hand.

It was indeed a great offer. He was in need of a clone, and the scripture would be the perfect solution to his needs.

“This offer isn’t enough to support your wish.”

“I” Wu Jizi looked embarrassed. “The Immortal Weapons that I have gathered were all destroyed during my ascension, and this scripture is all I have left.”

“Be my slave for ten eras,” Chu Kuangren said.

The offer shifted Wu Jizi’s expression.

He was an Embodier who trumped most of the cultivators. Why would he become someone’s slave?

However, should he reject the offer, he would have to face the lightning tribulation and would eventually die.

One option was that he would be enslaved for ten eras, but he would ascend to Primordial.

The other was that he would be killed by the lightning tribulation.

It was obvious what he would choose.

“Wu Jizi will be at your command from now on, Master of Destiny.”

“Very well,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.

As he lifted his hand, golden light swirled around the temple and formed a leather scroll.

It was a Life Contract!

“In that case, sign a contract with destiny.”

Wu Jizi took a glance at the content before he signed it.

Then, the scroll disappeared.

In just a moment, the heavily injured body due to the lightning tribulation recovered to its prime, and his energy was boosted to a terrifying level.

“So this is the authority of the Master of Destiny?” Chu Kuangren was impressed by what he could do.

The Destiny’s Authority was an ability that the Divine Destiny Temple Lord possessed, and it could only be used within the temple.

The power could change one’s life span and destiny.
