An unprecedented power of the stars diffused through the space.
The entire sky turned into a star chart.
Even with the power to destroy the world, Destroyer of the World's face was turning pale at a visible speed from such intricate calculations.
However.
Even after he tried his hardest and took dozens of elixirs, he still couldn't figure anything out.
He didn't know how Fang Xiaotian died.
He didn't know why the Black Wu had withdrawn.
As for the big picture, there wasn't a shred of a problem.
"Exactly, what on earth is going on?"
Destroyer of the World trembled.
For the first time, he felt such heaviness.
In the dark, it was as if a big hand was controlling everything from behind.
But.
Wasn't he, Destroyer of the World, the one manipulating everything?
Yet now, he was being manipulated by someone else instead.
"Who exactly is messing around?"
Destroyer of the World's face darkened to the point of dripping water.
However, even after going through all the powerful figures of the Immortal River Continent over the past few eras in his mind, he still couldn't find this person.
Because, there simply wasn't anyone who had the power to disrupt his plans without leaving a trace.
Or even escape the calculations of his star chart.
"In the end, what exactly is going on?"
The masked man knelt on the ground and asked worriedly.
"Since this is the case, I can only have you go personally."
Destroyer of the World pondered briefly before speaking solemnly.
"Ah, but I'm not the Chosen One!" The masked man said in surprise.
"Then I'll find a way to make you the Chosen One!" Destroyer of the World furrowed his brows and said, "After all, we need someone to fill this spot, and you've been loyal to me for many years, so this can be considered my compensation to you!"
Upon hearing this.
The masked man's eyes lit up and he immediately kneeled and bowed, "Thank you, my lord!"
"However, you're not without a mission," Destroyer of the World added solemnly.
"Please instruct me, my lord!"
The masked man said hurriedly.
"I will use the Art of Replacing the Heavens to conceal all traces of you, not only making you the Chosen One, but also allowing you to transform completely. And make it so that no one can deduce the relationship between you and me." Destroyer of the World said heavily.
The masked man's eyes lit up in surprise as he said, "My lord, do you mean...?"
"That's right, I want you to find out who exactly is the hand behind the scenes." Destroyer of the World said solemnly, "Since he wants to oppose me, he will definitely target the Chosen Ones. If you infiltrate them, it will be easier to find clues compared to me going personally."
"Understood!"
The masked man knelt on the ground and nodded solemnly.
"Alright, get ready to receive the baptism!"
Destroyer of the World's voice deepened as he waved his hand, stirring up chaotic winds within the chaos, as the power of the Great Dao diffused, covering the masked man.
After that, heaven-covering thunder pillars surged down onto the masked man.
The scene.
Looked extremely like transcending tribulation.
After the baptism, it would be rebirth.
When the commotion settled down, the masked man had completely changed his temperament. The mask on his face also disappeared, replaced with a youthful appearance.
"Go!"
Destroyer of the World waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The youth named himself Teng Xiyuan and left the interior of the chaos, arriving at Chaos Hall and sitting down on the blue immortal pillar where Fang Xiaotian had originally sat.
Seeing this.
Only then did Destroyer of the World heave a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, using the art of deceiving the heavens to have Teng Xiyuan take Fang Xiaotian's place took an enormous toll on him.
But he had no choice but to do this.
He could feel that the hand behind the scenes opposing him was extremely powerful. Even he, Destroyer of the World, could not take it lightly.
If he didn't lure this person out, his plans would likely face even greater variables.
With Teng Xiyuan as this trump card, dealing with that person would surely be much easier.
Thinking of this, the corners of Destroyer of the World's mouth curled up as he let out an icy voice.
"Whoever you are opposing me, I will be sure to lure you out!"
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
