0053 So this is what destiny has in store for us.
The three pieces of destiny bone are all different.
The first piece is "Defying Fate".
When possessed by a martial artist, they will not be limited by fate, and even ordinary people can cultivate martial arts and adapt to any martial art.
Shen Changsheng can learn any martial art; his adaptability is astonishing.
Only then can he adapt to different factions and master various martial arts.
Everyone who taught him was amazed by his martial arts talent.
This applies to individual qualifications.
The second piece is titled "The Unpredictability of Fate".
It can resist the suppression of destiny and prevent interference from fate.
Basically, any route that fails in the game involves the Yuwen family unleashing the "unpredictable fate" and overthrowing the Great Yong Dynasty.
What does this mean?
For example, if the Yuwen family were to rebel, normally the imperial court's astronomical bureau would sense and even issue warnings if a Grandmaster were to have such a sudden whim.
Although the Great Yong Dynasty showed signs of decline, it was difficult to shake it without the power of a terrestrial deity.
Suppressing the Yuwen family is possible.
With the concept of "unpredictable fate," the Yuwen family would become part of the variables, preventing the court from succeeding in its divination.
This bone of destiny can even shield the senses of the founding emperor and others.
They were unaware that the Yuwen family possessed this "Heavenly Bone," nor did they sense any deadly threat it posed.
According to the theory of destiny, the Yuwen family did not produce a true dragon destined for heaven.
Without this destiny, one cannot conquer the world.
Even if they rebel, they would only be acting as the king's vanguard.
Emperor Shizong examined the Yuwen family's fortunes and concluded that at best they would become top-tier powerful ministers, unable to overcome this hurdle.
Yuwen Huan could be like Huo Guang, but not like Wang Mang.
According to destiny, the Yuwen family was destined to fail, which was also Shen Changsheng's path to victory.
The "Heavenly Bone" can compensate for this deficiency.
Because the Yuwen family became a variable, a part of the unpredictable nature of fate.
So-called fate no longer suppresses the Yuwen family.
This is the path to victory for the villains.
As for the last piece, which is also the most powerful, it is called "The Mandate of Heaven".
The name itself reveals the power of this treasure.
However, players don't know what functions it actually has in the game.
"To find out what happens next, please purchase the paid DLC and stay tuned for the second part."
Thank you everyone.
The lead planner revealed a shrewd businessman's smile.
Zhao Jing complained at the time:
"Didn't you say that making this game was your life's dream?"
"They're already thinking about making money off the game before it's even finished?"
Qiming showed no shame:
"Even dreams need to be eaten."
"Information about the third Destiny Bone cannot be released; let the players guess."
"Shen Changsheng can't get the third piece either. Every prince who gets it will say something."
"So this is what destiny has ordained."
Zhao Jing asked curiously:
"So what exactly is it?"
"Keep it a secret!"
"I think you deserve a beating."
Qiming quickly said:
"Brother, actually I haven't decided yet."
"So we need to hint to players that this thing is mysterious, leave a hook, and sell it in future games."
"When the three are combined into one, it is called the 'Heavenly Ruler,' invincible."
"I need to think carefully about the specific effects."
"The main problem is that I haven't dreamed about it, which is also troubling me."
That's right, players don't know the effect of the third Destiny Bone because the lead planner hasn't figured out its specific function yet.
Just like the serialized joke in detective novels, where halfway through the story, three or four murders have already occurred, but the culprit still hasn't been identified.
Zhao Jing, on the other hand, didn't need to guess, because the third Destiny Bone was in his hands.
We can find out for ourselves.
At this moment, Bao'er moved with incredible speed, advancing at an astonishing pace.
In no time, it had run over a hundred kilometers, and blood seeped from its golden fur.
Without the Rejuvenating Elixir to replenish his strength, such running would only lead to exhaustion and death.
She was moving faster than ever before.
Even grandmasters can't catch up.
The once golden Bao'er transformed into a blood-red shadow, darting through the mountains and forests.
The local people, upon catching a glimpse of it, mistook it for a blood god descending to earth and couldn't help but worship it with reverence.
Zhao Jing calculated the distance before taking out the Destiny Bone and attempting to fuse with it while running at high speed.
The shape of the Destiny Bone is somewhat like a broken piece of a dragon's tooth.
Crystal clear, yet full of power.
Integrating such a treasure into one's body is no easy task.
Because the Heavenly Bone is very selective, most people cannot fuse with it.
Emperor Hongjing's health was failing, which hindered his progress. Now, Zhao Jing is facing the same problem.
Shen Changsheng fell into the cave and his body slammed directly onto the Heavenly Fate Bone, which pierced his heart.
In other words, to obtain Shen Changsheng's Destiny Bone, one must dig out his heart.
Those destined for greatness must be nurtured with the blood and sweat of one's heart.
Even back when they were at the imperial tomb, Zhao Jing had already shed a great deal of blood; now, even more would be needed.
Without hesitation, he immediately used his profound power to force out his heart's blood and pour it onto the Destiny Bone.
It's sizzling!
The Heavenly Fate Bone emitted a sizzling sound, which seemed quite pleasant, but it quickly returned to its original state.
They refuse to integrate.
Why? Is it because my cultivation level is too low, or because my bloodline is incompatible?
Zhao Jing refused to believe it and continued to draw blood from his heart to irrigate the plant, his face turning pale.
However, the arrogance of the Destiny Bone was beyond imagination.
It is still refusing.
After the Nine Princes' Succession Struggle, anyone can successfully fuse with the Destiny Bone.
But Zhao Jing couldn't do it, which was clearly not due to bloodline.
What is that?
That's right, it's dragon energy.
The victor will inherit the Great Yong and receive the baptism of the ancestors. That person will not only receive the blessing of the dragon's energy, but will also be infused with it to become a saint.
Only in this way can the Heavenly Mandate Bone be successfully integrated, which aligns with the meaning of being ordained by Heaven.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jing activated the Floating Pagoda, intending to extract a wisp of dragon energy from it.
Awoo!
The pagodas and stupas have awakened a great deal of intelligence and seem to be resisting it.
This dragon energy is its lifeblood.
Zhao Jing could only offer a word of comfort:
"After he ascends the throne, he will have as much dragon energy as he wants."
"You have to give up something to gain something."
Only then did the pagoda reluctantly release its dragon energy.
hum!
As expected, the Heavenly Bone did not favor Emperor Hongjing because he was old and frail and unsuitable for fusion.
Now, Zhao Jing only needs to add a little dragon energy to confirm the destiny bone.
This person has the potential to become the emperor.
From that moment on, the Heavenly Fate Bone gradually merged into Zhao Jing's heart.
Zhao Jing's pale cheeks instantly turned rosy.
The entire stupa began to tremble violently.
It is already a Dao artifact, a rare treasure in the world, yet it still cannot suppress the aura left behind by the Heavenly Fate Bone.
It was only a small detail that was revealed: within a radius of ten miles, purple aura was seen coming from the east.
Bao'er saw the purple aura while running and was somewhat surprised.
"Your Highness!"
"Don't panic, this leak is nothing to worry about, it will disappear soon."
Upon seeing the purple aura rising from the east, Zhao Jing comforted Bao'er and then whispered an inquiry to the deity in his sea of consciousness.
"Does Xiaoxi have any way to suppress the strange phenomenon?"
Since they are deities, perhaps they have a solution.
Tu Su was still on the run, and Zhao Jing didn't want her to waste too much of her profound energy.
Upon hearing this, Chao Xi couldn't help but say:
"Yes, but it will consume the anomaly."
"These strange phenomena originate from the emanating mystical energy..."
"Then eat them all!"
"May I?"
"Can!"
"Thank you, Brother Jing!"
When the bones of destiny merge, they will cause the dissipation and resonance of power, resulting in unusual phenomena in the world.
Chao Xi has no magical abilities, but she can eat a lot.
She can manage anything related to Zhao Jing.
This is a person's god.
The scattered power was consumed one by one by Chao Xi, and the purple aura that appeared in the sky dissipated.
Bao'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, with this tail around, the enemy could spot it at any time.
Zhao Jing had no choice. If he stayed in one place and merged with the Heavenly Fate Bone again, it would still leave traces. It was better to escape sooner.
Now that he's on Bao'er's back, he can adjust his escape route at any time and check the Destiny Bone with peace of mind.
Thump, thump!
As the Heavenly Fate Bone merged into Zhao Jing's body, the blood throughout his body began to boil.
Information about the Destiny Bone kept pouring into Zhao Jing's mind.
A smile appeared on his face:
"So this is what destiny has ordained."
Now I completely understand.
What the lead strategist didn't have in mind has materialized in this world: manipulating probability.
Even the smallest probability can become a 100% certain event.
This is the destiny ordained by Heaven.
Anyone who becomes a king or queen will have many miracles, including low-probability events, if you look at their resume.
When a low-probability event succeeds, people tend to think that the person is destined for greatness.
Therefore, the function of the last piece of the Destiny Bone is to manipulate probability.
Zhao Jing now possesses an Iron Profound Pearl. After consuming it, there is a 70% chance of condensing martial bones, a 20% chance of becoming disabled, and a 10% chance of death.
With the Heavenly Fate Bone, it can be perfect!
Any low-probability event can become a 100% probability event.
Your chances of becoming a Grandmaster are less than 10%, while mine are 100%.
The probability of you refining a top-grade elixir is one in a thousand, while for me it's one hundred percent.
Anything related to probability can be made 100%.
so horrible.
Once this bone reaches its full form, you want to summon a meteor to crush your opponent.
That's possible too.
For example, the probability of a meteorite falling from the sky and killing your opponent is...
No wonder the Kowloon camp, no matter who gets the last piece of the Destiny Bone, will show a surprised smile.
"So this is what destiny has ordained."
However, this destiny bone, though only one-third complete, still has flaws.
First of all, it lacks the martial bone that belongs to personal cultivation and does not possess Shen Changsheng's martial arts talent.
Secondly, it still has an adversary, namely the Grand Tutor's Mansion, which possesses the "Unpredictable Fate".
If [Destiny's Will] increases the probability, then [Unpredictable Fate] essentially means not being affected by Destiny's Will and reducing the probability of encountering enemies.
The two are mutually opposed.
It should be said that the Destiny Bone should have been divided into two parts, but Shen Changsheng intervened unexpectedly and took away the part for cultivation, which is why it evolved into three parts.
Finally, the activation of the [Destined by Heaven] trait requires the consumption of Dragon Qi, so it is not without cost.
Even so, Zhao Jing understood just how terrifying this divine object was.
Things that do not belong to the human world.
It only showed a little promise, yet it plunged the Great Yong Dynasty into endless bloodshed.
Zhao Jing even understood the plot of the second part.
Who could refuse the merging of the three Destiny Bones into one, becoming the true master of destiny and activating all power?
Even if Shen Changsheng has made unparalleled contributions and won the favor of the people, would they let him go?
Even Zhao Jing couldn't guarantee that his father had the temperament to resist the urge to rip out Shen Changsheng's heart and retrieve the last piece of the Destiny Bone.
The Mandate of Heaven controls all probabilities, enough to establish an eternal Celestial Empire.
Even if it's only one-third, that's enough.
Zhao Jing opened his eyes and took out the Xuan Pearl that he had painstakingly refined.
It's time to acquire martial prowess.
