Lord of the Earth

"Om-!"

The divine light emanating from those eyes burst forth from the Temple of Destiny and merged into the "Sea of ​​Fortune" of Qianxia, ​​refracting downwards.

Wherever the light reached, the "lines of fate" above the heads of humans, which were originally impossible to detect below the level of quasi-true gods, suddenly became visible and could be "attacked"!

"Is this the legendary 'Eye of Destiny'?"

"No wonder my special ability disappeared... Damn it, it was that spider?"

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! Even a true god from another race cannot control me! Break through!"

Realizing what was happening, everyone seized the opportunity and immediately unleashed their strongest techniques against these "threads of fate."

In the military camp, many soldiers were even more decisive in killing, directly burning their own "original blood" to burn off the wavering "threads" connecting them to their bodies!

Such a decisive attitude even made the gods of the alien race secretly startled!

"Humans have actually cracked this method of controlling destiny..."

"Incredible... To influence the methods of a true god, one would need at least a 'Fate Dao Fruit' of the same level or a true artifact from the Destiny side. How could Qianxia have such a remarkable person?"

It is well known that fate, luck, and feng shui are the three most important factors in life!

The Way of Destiny is an extremely important path in all the heavens and myriad realms. Ordinary gods cannot even touch it. Anyone who can achieve something in this path is an exceptionally talented individual!

Those who are qualified to interfere with the "threads of fate" generated by "true gods" must at least be peak quasi-true gods who have condensed a complete "prototype of the Dao Fruit"!
"It is the Temple of Destiny, High Priest... Temple Master Shi Yiguang!"

The people of Qianxia looked at the figure praying for blessings at the location where the pillar of destiny's light emanated from, and suddenly realized!
Shi Yiguang, also known as Xi Shi.

Of course, in the Qianxia Immortal Dynasty, she also has another identity, namely the High Priest of the Temple of Destiny, a quasi-true god who has already condensed the "prototype of Dao Fruit"!
Of course, this is only one aspect; more power comes from the "Temple of Destiny" where she resides, a "god-level building" forged from the body of a reborn god!
"Don't panic, everyone! The entire Fengshui Palace is here to help us fight against the snare of fate!"

In addition, another powerful Daoist voice rose from the depths of the earth's dragon veins.

At this moment, Lai Buyi, the master of the Fengshui Hall, had already made his move.

Following closely behind were renowned feng shui masters such as Mud Bodhisattva and Yang Yunsong, who all devoted their own spiritual power to strengthening the great array of heaven and earth.

One could see streams of primordial yellow energy rising from the dragon veins of the Nine Provinces of Qianxia, ​​weaving into a magnificent net that bound and entangled the countless white spider silks in the sky!
The path of destiny ranks second, followed closely by feng shui in third place. However, a feng shui master who has reached the peak of cultivation can still use the mountains and rivers to reverse one's fate and sever these threads!
Bronze, white jade, and red gold compasses stretched across the vast sky, their rotations drawing upon the countless dragon veins dormant deep within the earth. The power of mountains, rivers, hills, and plains converged, firmly protecting the millions of people of Qianxia, ​​preventing the giant web woven by the "Life-Weaving Demon Spider" from wantonly extracting the fate of humanity.

It is important to understand that the reason why the entire Qianxia Dynasty has been able to develop steadily over the years and firmly occupy the position of "First Immortal Dynasty" has been to put pressure on many races.

Besides the "Jinyiwei" who controlled intelligence throughout the land, there was another important reason: the "Tianji Institute," which was in charge of feng shui and divination, was the Temple of Destiny that was in charge of a series of "divination" work related to the West!

Both of these are closely related to "fate," and now, this has temporarily halted the encroaching influence of the "web of fate" on Qianxia.

However, how strong are the threads of that Life-Weaving Spider?
Even with the Fengshui Palace doing its best to restrain them, the white jade spider silk continued to seep downwards little by little, wriggling like living things, and continuing to entwine the threads of fate of the people of Qianxia!

After all, whether it was Xi Shi or Lai Buyi, they were only "palace masters"...theoretically, they were only "fourth-ranked," which was still a gap compared to "true gods."

On the altar of Heaven, Xi Shi slowly straightened up.

Across layers of clouds and mist, one bows deeply to the summer on the "Altar of Heaven," accompanied by melodious and enchanting music.

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that the Qianxia Qi Yunhai be opened, and that all the wishes and power of the people be dispersed to help the Goddess of Destiny be reborn and revived! Only when the complete Goddess of Destiny appears in the world can the alien race's web of fate be completely torn apart, and our hundreds of millions of people be protected from powerful enemies!"

The conditions for a true god to be reborn from the ashes are extremely demanding: pure faith, immense fortune, and merit from heaven and earth are all indispensable.

The Goddess of Destiny was the first orthodox deity to be officially conferred a title by the Emperor at the beginning of the Qianxia Dynasty. Her status was on par with that of the God of Revenge and Lord Wu Song of Mount Tai, making her one of the oldest deities in the founding dynasty.

For thousands of years, the human race has never stopped offering incense and prayers. The foundation of their faith has long been perfected. They only need enough luck and merit to complete their rebirth.

Moreover, now that all the gods and spirits have joined forces to reinforce the barriers of this world, the suppression of heaven and earth has completely dissipated, and the resurrection of the true gods is no longer a concern.

In the summer, standing atop the altar, his gaze swept over the people who were fighting and bleeding on the land of Qianxia.

He uttered a single word in a deep voice: "Approved!"

The golden edict appeared atop the sea of ​​auspicious clouds, resounding throughout the entire Qianxia territory.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire sea of ​​fortune and luck surged and boiled. The majestic phantom of the Qianxia Fortune Spirit—the Human God-King—slowly emerged from the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, his eyes containing the boundless majesty of a human emperor that seemed to have created the world.

"By imperial decree, the entire nation shall pray in unison, exhausting all the blessings of the Qianxia dynasty, the will of the people, and the merits of heaven and earth, to help the Goddess of Destiny awaken her Nirvana Spirit and repair the Dao Fruit that was damaged in the past! May the Goddess return to the world and firmly sit in the position of the rightful and orthodox Goddess of Destiny for the human race!"

As the Divine Lord gave a low shout, the Sea of ​​Fortune and the Heavenly Pool of Wishes simultaneously erupted with extraordinary phenomena. A ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon of fortune soared into the sky and circled, while countless silver raindrops of wish power fell upon the heavens and earth...

Countless purple lotus flowers of merit bloomed in the air, their petals carrying pure essence as they swooped down toward the towering statue of the goddess in the Temple of Destiny.

The latter suddenly lit up, and layers of golden waves surged and vibrated from the body of the statue, further revealing the cracks on its surface.

When a certain limit is reached...

A pristine female figure slowly broke free from the jade's restraints. The depths of her eyes held the joys and sorrows of countless beings throughout history. Though her figure was gentle and graceful, she possessed an unparalleled divine power that held the reins of all lives and determined the future!

Above his head was a peculiar "Dao Fruit," surrounded by layers upon layers of orderly golden life lines. Each thread was imprinted with the birth date, opportunities, and future of countless beings, clearly reflecting the veins of their destiny...

"Hiss, that's a complete 'Destiny Dao Fruit'! Qian Xia has actually revived a true god who controls the power of destiny..."

"Incredible! Qian Xia actually has such a backup plan. He might really be able to go toe-to-toe with the Spider Queen!"

This scene unfolded before the eyes of many beings in the Eternal Land, and many alien races showed expressions of shock on their faces.

The resurrection of the true God is no easy task.
The conditions were extremely demanding, including religious beliefs...

Luck and merit are both indispensable, and the resources consumed are enough to establish a prosperous immortal dynasty!
This goddess of fate, who was not human, has become the first true god that Qianxia has chosen to "resurrect"... This is undoubtedly beyond the expectations of the gods!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace in rebuilding my broken body with the faith of the billions of people in Qianxia, ​​nourishing my damaged Dao fruit with the fortune of the Celestial Dynasty, and helping me to be reborn from the ashes with the immeasurable merit of heaven and earth!"

The Goddess of Fate lowered her eyes slightly, looked at Emperor Xia Tian on the high platform, and placed her hands together in front of her chest, performing the grand salute of a legitimate subject of the Qianxia dynasty.

The true God can see everything in an instant.

Now, all realms have been unified into an eternal land, which is incomparable to all the heavens and myriad realms!
Even a true god who has been reborn from the ashes, residing in the territory of Qianxia, ​​is still a subject under the emperor of the Immortal Dynasty, with a clear hierarchy that cannot be overstepped!

"We beg the goddess to intervene, sever the giant web of fate woven by the alien races, and free the people of our race from the shackles of destiny."

On the altar, Xia Tian nodded slightly, his tone steady.

"As Your Majesty commands!"

The goddess of fate bowed and accepted the command.

She immediately raised her head, her gaze piercing through the sea of ​​clouds, and locked onto the Destiny Dao Fruit that had been plundered and refined above the head of the Life-Weaving Demon Spider in the void!

"My Dao Fruit should be returned to its rightful owner."

The "Fruit of Destiny" atop the spider's head suddenly swayed, its Daoist aura flowing like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surging downwards, poised to return to the body of the Goddess of Destiny...

Just as this "Destiny-Weaving Spider," upon which the foundation for true godhood rested, was about to be forcibly removed.

"I never imagined that the human race would have such profound methods to allow someone I personally killed to be reborn." A languid yet alluring female voice suddenly emanated from the rift in the void of the nine heavens.

The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone in Qianxia. It had a magnetic quality that made one's bones tingle, like a spider gently spinning silk in one's ear. But anyone could hear the chill in it—a condescending indifference that regarded all living beings as ants.

"This Destiny Dao Fruit was bestowed upon my subordinate, the Fate Weaver Spider, by me for refinement, helping it to reach the realm of True God! In a way, I must thank my younger sister for sacrificing herself for it back then."

With this voice, its owner finally revealed their outline.

It was the upper body of a woman seated on a throne, emerging from the void. She wore a revealing robe woven from spider silk, upon which flowed countless images of the birth and destruction of worlds. Her fingers were long and slender, with nails as shiny as obsidian, gently tapping the void, each tap resonating with the laws of nature.

Indeed, a supreme true god, the Spider Queen...

Her beauty was breathtaking, her skin glowing with a soft, pale violet light, and six tiny purple compound eyes on her forehead gazing at the resurrected "Goddess of Fate" without a trace of shame.

In the Spider Queen's eyes, killing this "sister" was merely a convenient act.

So what if you killed him? What's there to feel guilty about?
Even if the enemy "returns from the ashes," at worst, we can just kill them again...

"Besides, the Nirvana of a True God... is it really that easy? Your Dao Fruit was taken by me back then, and now it is only in its weakest form. Even with the Qianxia Divine Position to replenish it, how can you be qualified to compare with my 'Divine Spider'?"

The words fell.

The "Life-Weaving Demon Spider" seemed to sense its master's intentions, and its ferocious aura instantly intensified!
Eight enormous, jade-white feet precisely stepped onto the gold, silver, and bronze "compasses," causing numerous cracks to appear on the compasses that covered thousands of miles...

An unparalleled force forcefully tore apart the feng shui array arranged in Qian's "Feng Shui Hall"...

"Puff puff……"

At the same time, the hall masters and deputy hall masters of the Feng Shui Hall, including Yang Yunsong, Lai Buyi, and Ni Pusa, all coughed up blood. Even the nascent Dao Fruits above their heads developed cracks under the backlash...

Even the threads that the Goddess of Fate originally used to guide her own "Dao Fruit" seemed to have been severely damaged, with many breaking off at once.

Ultimately, she was killed by the Spider Queen shortly after her advancement, and her own Dao Fruit was refined by the Spider Queen and given to her mount... Even now, the original owner has been resurrected...

However, it is no easy task to retrieve something from a top-tier true god!
"Don't panic, sister...we're all coming to help you!"

Just as the Goddess of Destiny had just been resurrected and her Dao Fruit realm was not yet stable, making it difficult to reverse the situation, several soft shouts rang out.

Seven streaks of light shot into the sky from Qianxia Palace; they were seven stunningly beautiful women dressed in colorful robes—the Weaver Girl, in purple, in blue, in green…

Each of them held a "Weaver's Shuttle" in their hands, a treasure passed down from the first immortal court of the ancient human race, dedicated to "weaving"!
But unlike ordinary weaving, the seven fairies were not weaving cloth, but destiny.

In ancient mythology, the Weaver Girl was the goddess who controlled the fate of the stars. The seven fairies together used the Weaver Girl Shuttle to travel through the starry sky, weaving the threads of fate of countless stars into an orderly Milky Way.

In reality, the so-called "Milky Way" is actually the legendary "River of Destiny"!
The cloth that the Weaver Girl washes is not ordinary fabric, but a "celestial garment" that can interfere with the fate of all living beings and even help them escape their destiny...

Now, the seven fairies appear together, standing side by side with Xi Shi, the goddess of destiny.

The light emanating from their celestial robes made them ignore the Daoist power emanating from the "Weaving Life Demon Spider"... Furthermore, seven Weaving Shuttles danced in their hands, with countless golden and silver threads shooting out from them.

Merge with the "Fate Dao Fruit" of the Goddess of Fate to jointly fight against the spider silk of the Fate-Weaving Demon Spider!
These seven women are "Imperial Daughters," so their weapons are naturally extraordinary... When the Weaver's Shuttle is combined into seven, its power is no less than that of a powerful divine artifact.

Now, the seven fairies of the human race, plus one goddess of destiny, have gathered eight "powers of destiny" into a torrent that has actually resisted the extraction by the spider of destiny!
Furthermore, it snatched that "Fate Dao Fruit" in reverse, like a shooting star, and fell towards the "Goddess of Destiny"!
"interesting."

Above the heavens, the Spider Queen's voice rang out once more.

This time, her human eyes narrowed slightly, showing genuine interest. Her six compound eyes, radiating endless Daoist charm, also turned and locked onto the Seven Fairies and Xi Shi.

"I never expected that such a large number of cultivators skilled in the Dao of Destiny would gather in a single immortal dynasty of the human race... I underestimated you... You are merely fish in a pond... causing only a few ripples!"

However, there was no panic in her tone, only a hint of amusement.

"Hmph, how arrogant... Show me all the tricks you have up your sleeve now!"

The three fairies dressed in yellow said this.

As the "Emperor's Daughter," she was extremely proud and fearless, even when facing a powerful alien god who dominated the heavens!

In fact, as the former "daughters of the Heavenly Emperor" of the human race, the seven of them possessed extraordinary talent. Had they not cultivated the "Path of Destiny," they might have already reached the "True God level"...

Although the seven of them have not yet broken through any step, when they join forces and use the power of the Milky Way to draw upon the waters of the Milky Way with their "Weaver Girl Shuttle," they are enough to contend with ordinary true gods.
"So, you really think so? You believe that this 'Destiny Dao Fruit' is the Dao Fruit of my true self?"

"Don't you know that this is merely a tool I casually picked from a Dao Fruit for my mount to refine and enter the 'True God' realm..."

The Spider Queen's face was calm and serene, even showing a hint of pity.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the relaxed mood of everyone in Qianxia immediately tightened again.

next moment--

In the void above the Spider Queen's head, a Dao Fruit slowly appeared...

This Dao Fruit has a completely different Dao Aura from the Dao Fruits of "Goddess of Destiny" and "Destiny Spider".

It is not only larger in size, but also has a color as deep as the darkness at the beginning of chaos, yet countless tiny points of light flicker within the darkness—those points of light are not stars, but individual worlds.

Each point of light is a complete world, with land, sea, living beings, and civilization. They are born, multiply, perish, and are reborn within the Dao Fruit, like an eternal cycle!

What flows on the surface of the Dao Fruit is not the thread of fate, but a more essential and grander power of rules—weaving!
Weaving the world, weaving life, weaving the rules—this is the true fruit of the Spider Queen's path!

"Is this... the power of the Spider Queen? As expected, she doesn't control the Dao Fruit of Destiny, but rather..."

Inside the Jade Palace, Wang Yuyan, holding a jade slip, wore a solemn expression.

He is the master of the "Langya Jade Mansion" of the human immortal dynasty.

This Empress Qianxia, ​​who possessed a photographic memory, relied on her innate ability to learn far more information than the average person from a wealth of information about the human race's past.

At this moment, various myths and legends from Earth that she had specially collected flashed through her mind. In one mythological system, the Spider Grandmother was a being who could be ranked alongside the "Sun God" at the beginning of creation!
The Spider Grandmother governs the power of all things underground. She can transform the imagination of the Sun God into real plants, animals, and humans, and connect each living being with spider silk to bestow wisdom and protection. She also uses silk threads to connect different worlds and maintain the order of the universe!

In Sumerian mythology, the name of the weaving goddess Uttu itself means "weaving." She is depicted as a spider living in a web, and what she weaves is not just cloth, but also the framework of this civilization!

Even in the creation myth of the Yi people in China, there is a story of "nine thousand women and eighty thousand men working with spiders to weave the sky and the earth"—

Qian Xia also knew that most of the spider figures in these "myths" were projections of an extremely powerful being in the heavens.

The one most fitting for her identity is undoubtedly the "top true god" before us, whom even countless true gods fear greatly—the Abyss Spider Queen!
"After a millennium of planning, it's time... to close the net..."

The Spider Queen's voice rang out coldly.

In an instant, the Dao Fruit above its head emitted a power that attached itself to the spider silk shot out by the "Destiny Spider"... The white jade spider silk, which was originally just for drawing out destiny, suddenly changed its nature.

An eerie light flickered on the silk threads, no longer the gray of fate, but a greedy, seemingly devouring purplish-black! (End of Chapter)
