Chapter 596 - True Body of Destiny (1/2)

Xuan Daoya and Si Mengyan also looked at Ren Niming with curiosity.

Si Mengyan did not know much about Ren Niming and only felt that he was quite profound. From those words just then, it seemed that he was not just profound.

Ren Niming deeply breathed in and said, “Destiny can control everything and all creatures, and the same can be said for heavenly law. One is on the surface and one is in the dark; don’t you feel that the two are quite similar?”

Everyone frowned; those words were quite terrifying.

Destiny was the heavenly law?

The high up and merciless heavenly law had always wanted to control all creatures.

It created all creatures, and also dictated the end for each person?

“The heavenly law will get rid of all existences that can threaten it, but it cannot get rid of destiny, and it instead allows destiny to grow. This is why tribulations will happen at certain times; it is not the heavenly law protecting itself, but destiny weakening heavenly law.

“The heavenly law acknowledges you and wishes for you to become a Heavenly Saint. However, you made destiny feel threatened, so destiny wants to control all creatures to get rid of you. Destiny is not as open as the heavenly law, and will continuously affect the minds of all living creatures until you are killed.”

Speaking to there, Ren Niming sighed.

Zhou Xuanji and the others fell silent.

Xuan Daoya and Qiu Hu were completely stupefied.

All this time, they had thought that the heavenly law and destiny had co-existed.

The heavenly law was like the main concept, while destiny was just the byproduct.

“I used to be destiny, but I wanted to surpass the heavenly law and was suppressed by the heavenly law. My consciousness was fortunate to reincarnate, and I wanted to regain control of destiny. However, I never expected destiny to reject me. As such, I am no longer destiny, just an ordinary person who walks the heavens.”

Ren Niming tossed out some even more shocking words, causing Zhou Xuanji and the others’ eyes to once again widen.

This kind of principle, that reigned above all creatures, could develop consciousness?

They could not help but feel dumbfounded.

Did that mean the heavenly law might also have consciousness?

At the same time, they understood why Ren Niming hated destiny so much.

It was like a cultivator’s soul being forced out of their body, but when trying to get back into their body, they discovered that their body had created another consciousness that rejected them. What would they think?

It was similar to being possessed, but even worse.

If it was possession, at least it was an enemy who had taken over their body. In this kind of situation, it was like being betrayed by themselves.

As everyone thought to themselves, they entered the Netherworld.

Ren Niming smiled and said, “It’s best not to tell anyone else about what I just told you, or else all of us will suffer.”

Xuan Daoya and Qiu Hu deeply nodded.

Their gazes towards Ren Niming became filled with respect.

This person in front of them was an existence who had once contended with the heavenly law.

…

Ren Niming led the way and the group disappeared over the dark horizon.

…

A black-clothed Lady Zhaoxuan sat on the bank next to the Yellow Springs. She looked at the Yellow Springs, spacing out.

She looked like Chang’E in the moon palace, gazing at the mortal realm.

After a while, five figures landed behind her.

It was Zhou Xuanji, Qiu Hu, Ren Niming, Xuan Daoya, and Si Mengyan.

Looking at Lady Zhaoxuan’s back, Zhou Xuanji’s gaze became complicated.

He could not forget Lady Zhaoxuan’s expression when she had thrown him into the river back then; it was filled with reluctance and pain, as well as deep love.

Hundreds of years later, they were reunited in the Netherworld, but they were separated due to destiny.

Zhou Xuanji had many things he wanted to ask, but all of them were stuck in his throat.

He did not know what to ask.
