Slap!
Another heavy slap ruthlessly struck the Scruffy Old Daoist's face.
The Scruffy Old Daoist covered his face, wanting to cry but having no tears. "My Lord, why did you hit me again?"
"What happened to the promised trial? It turns out the candidate was fucking pre-selected. It's a blatant rigged game. If it weren't for this Emperor being upright and unyielding, daring to fight and break this corruption, would there still be any fairness in this world? Tell me, do you deserve a beating or not?" Gu Qingfeng said coldly.
The Scruffy Old Daoist: "..."
If ours is called a rigged game, then what is yours?
You fucking beat up the referee!
"Yes, yes, yes, My Lord is absolutely right. Actually, this poor Daoist is also extremely disgusted by this rigged system. It's just a pity that this poor Daoist is not the person in charge, otherwise I would absolutely never do such a despicable thing."
"Who is the person in charge? In other words, who pre-selected Dao Child Jietian?" Gu Qingfeng asked.
To be able to leave behind a divine object like the Epoch Fire, the person in charge was highly likely a legendary Immortal Monarch powerhouse.
The Scruffy Old Daoist shook his head. "This poor Daoist doesn't know either. That kind of figure seems to be hiding from something, thus trying their best to conceal their existence. They didn't even leave any related memories. This poor Daoist only remembers his own mission. Moreover, the pre-selected person, to be precise, shouldn't be Dao Child Jietian, but a Child of Destiny who carries immense providence."
"You mean, this Epoch Fire is reserved for the Child of Destiny who carries providence, and right now Dao Child Jietian happens to carry that providence, so it's him?" Gu Qingfeng pondered slightly.
"My Lord is indeed brilliant. That is exactly it. No matter who it is, as long as they carry the providence, they are the destined person. It could be Dao Child Jietian, or it could be Heaven-Reaching Daozi, any Daozi would do. This poor Daoist here only recognizes providence, not the person."
"Not the person?" Gu Qingfeng smiled mockingly.
"Then this Emperor is not the Child of Destiny, so why did you hand the Epoch Fire over to this Emperor? And not Dao Child Jietian?"
The Scruffy Old Daoist chuckled. "How could a mere Child of Destiny be compared to you, My Lord? In this poor Daoist's eyes, My Lord is clearly the Father of Destiny!"
Slap!
"Tell the truth," Gu Qingfeng said indifferently.
He had always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and never liked listening to flattery.
"Actually, when My Lord just came in, this poor Daoist mentally calculated a divination. The main thing was that you didn't have immense providence on you, so at a glance, you weren't the destined person. But for a non-destined person to appear here, this in itself was a very bizarre matter."
"You know how to divine?" Gu Qingfeng was slightly curious.
The Scruffy Old Daoist seemed to have hit upon his strong suit and said very confidently, "That is natural. If this poor Daoist's ability to calculate heavenly secrets claims second place, then no one would dare claim first.
Guarding the Epoch Fire all year round, this poor Daoist has long since self-taught the divination arts of the Eternal Epoch. I am absolutely the number one person in eternity!"
"Enough, get to the point," Gu Qingfeng said impatiently. He couldn't be bothered to listen to the Scruffy Old Daoist brag.
"Alright, alright, alright. My Lord, please listen to me. When I first saw you, I cast a divination for you, and the result showed a complete void."
"A void?"
"That's right, a void. This poor Daoist also doesn't know why your divination result showed a complete void. According to my heavenly secret arts, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who cannot be divined. It's nothing more than a matter of how much information is obtained. Even for the person who made me guard this pagoda, this poor Daoist could at least divine some trivial information, rather than a void."
Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly, thinking to himself, could it be because he was a transmigrator?
"Just because you couldn't divine this Emperor's fate, you decided to hand over the Epoch Fire?"
The Scruffy Old Daoist shook his head. "Not quite. Since this poor Daoist couldn't divine your fate, My Lord, I then began to calculate the general trend of the world. The result showed that in the near future, the Eternal Epoch will reappear in the human realm. This means that even if you take the Epoch Fire, the Eternal Epoch will still be recreated."
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng looked at the Scruffy Old Daoist in surprise. He didn't expect this person to actually have some real skills.
The Scruffy Old Daoist's calculation was indeed correct. After obtaining the Epoch Fire, he would definitely find a way to break the epoch's boundaries and let the Eternal Epoch descend upon the human realm.
"In other words, the purpose of the person who had you guard this place is to use the hands of the Child of Destiny to usher in the Eternal Epoch?"
"Correct," the Scruffy Old Daoist answered. "As they say, the process isn't important; what matters is the result. That person's goal is to usher in the Eternal Epoch. The reason they chose the Child of Destiny is obviously because only the Child of Destiny could accomplish this. But after you appeared, My Lord, the general trend of the world remained unchanged, which proves that you also have the ability to usher in the Eternal Epoch.
Therefore, this poor Daoist naturally had to offer up the Epoch Fire with both hands.
So... actually, you didn't need to be so violent at all, slapping..."
Slap!
"Don't spout unnecessary nonsense," Gu Qingfeng said impatiently. "Tell me how to use the Epoch Fire to start the Eternal Epoch."
He was already getting a bit impatient. The thought of the experts from the Eternal Epoch reappearing in the human realm made him uncontrollably excited.
If a person went through life without a few opponents worthy of a fight, how lonely and pathetic would that be!
Who would have expected that at this moment, the Scruffy Old Daoist would pour a bucket of cold water over him.
"My Lord, please don't slap me first. I really don't know how to usher in the Eternal Epoch. The divination showed that if you took the Epoch Fire, the Eternal Epoch would similarly open, so I thought you knew the method to open it."
Slap!
"Trash! You don't even know such a trivial matter. Since you have already completed your mission as a guard, you can go die now," Gu Qingfeng said coldly.
The Scruffy Old Daoist's expression instantly changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "My Lord, please don't! I have a clue! I have a clue!"
"What clue? Speak quickly!"
"The method to usher in the Eternal Epoch must be on Dao Child Jietian. Since the person behind the scenes chose him as the destined person, he definitely has the method to open it!"
"Hmph! This Emperor just sucked his power dry and even snatched his storage ring, and I didn't find a damn thing!"
Hearing this, the Scruffy Old Daoist trembled even more. What kind of vicious demon was this!
He hurriedly said, "Providence! It must be providence! Those with immense providence have divine assistance no matter what they do. Even if they fall off a cliff, they can turn danger into safety, and might even find an ancient inheritance. If my guess is not wrong, according to the original plan of the person behind the scenes, after letting Dao Child Jietian obtain the Epoch Fire, driven by his providence, sooner or later, he would coincidentally usher in the Eternal Epoch."
Gu Qingfeng's brow suddenly furrowed tightly. "Providence? Could it be that you want this Emperor to give the treasure I just got my hands on back to Dao Child Jietian? And then silently wait for him, to see when his providence explodes and directly ushers in the Eternal Epoch?"
Hearing Gu Qingfeng's unkind tone and seeing the scarlet demonic light flashing in his eyes, the Scruffy Old Daoist desperately racked his brains. Finally, his eyes lit up.
"My Lord, I know a method that doesn't have to be so troublesome."

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely.

And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
