Chapter 980 The Calculation Was Wrong

"I need your help with something," Chen Guan said to Bu Changning, making the same request.

The Tower of Destiny can distort one's fate. If the Heavenly Kings cannot conquer it by force, they will have to let Qingya try. Perhaps she can deceive fate and destroy the Tower of Destiny.

As for the other Tower of Truth, Chen Guan believes that the most suitable person to break through it is probably Bu Changning.

The Tower of Truth, despite its name, is a most bizarre and fantastical place. It is easy to lose oneself in fantasy there. Only those who can hold fast to themselves and recognize their true selves can avoid getting lost in the Tower of Truth and find its core.

Many strong individuals can stay true to themselves, but truly understanding oneself requires absolute clarity of mind, which is something not everyone can achieve.

Bu Changning looked at Chen Guan and said, "You shouldn't have come to me, and you shouldn't have gotten involved with me. I'm still one step away from truly becoming human."

"I'll help you take the final step," Chen Guan said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid?" Bu Changning asked.

"All you need to do is answer whether you'll help me or not," Chen Guan said.

“As long as you’re not afraid, I’m fine with anything,” Bu Changning said, standing up.

Chen Guan extended his palm to express his gratitude, but Bu Changning took a step back and shook his head, saying, "It's best to keep your distance until I become human."

Chen Guan smiled, withdrew his hand, and took Bu Changning away.

Chen Guan then went to find some more people, some to prepare for attacking the Sky Tower, and others simply to take them to the Sky Secret Realm to improve their strength.

Feng Tianwang and Ji Tianwang went to the various families and told the Heavenly Kings about what Chen Guan had told them, hoping that they could help Chen Guan attack the Sky Tower.

Apart from not meeting with Du Tianwang, the other Tianwangs all said they would consider the matter, but they needed to meet with Chen Guan before they could make a decision.

Chen Guan wasn't in a hurry to meet with the Heavenly Kings. He had already invited almost everyone else he wanted to invite, but there was one person he still needed to invite. Basically, no one refused his invitation.

However, there was one more person Chen Guan needed to invite, and he wasn't entirely confident that he could succeed.

The person Chen Guan ultimately wanted to invite was his childhood sweetheart, Xiao Qinghua.

Chen Guan went to the Sky Tower by himself, and he needed to arrange for someone to go to the other five towers to ensure their safety. However, there was one tower that only Xiao Qinghua's abilities could guarantee.

That is the "Tower of Nothingness" among the six Sky Towers. According to the information given by the Devouring God, the Tower of Nothingness is the most unfathomable Sky Tower. In that tower, everything will be reduced to nothingness.

History is nihilistic, memories are nihilistic, abilities are nihilistic, and even one's own existence will be nihilized.

If even you yourself cease to exist, what ability do you have to break through the core of the Tower of Nothingness?

According to Chen Guan's understanding, anyone who enters the Tower of Nothingness will likely become a useless person, unable to exert their abilities, and will eventually turn into nothingness.

Only Xiao Qinghua has the potential to break through the power of nothingness in the Tower of Nothingness, so Chen Guan must invite her over.

Of course, Chen Guan only invited her as a backup plan. If the Heavenly Kings could break through the Tower of Nothingness, then Xiao Qinghua would naturally not need to take action.

Chen Guan wasn't worried that Xiao Qinghua would disagree, but he was afraid that her master, Gui Daoren, would disagree.

When Chen Guan arrived at Lotus Temple, he saw Feng Wuchang standing at the entrance, seemingly waiting for him.

"Brother Chen, please come with me. Master is waiting for you in the main hall." After saying this, Feng Wuchang turned around and walked into the temple.

Chen Guan said nothing and followed Feng Wuchang into the Lotus Temple, heading towards the main hall. The Lotus Temple seemed unusually deserted today; there wasn't a soul on the road, and Xiao Qinghua's other senior brothers and sisters were nowhere to be seen.

Feng Wuchang led Chen Guan to the entrance of the main hall, letting Chen Guan push the door open and go in himself, while he turned and left.

"Master?" Chen Guan knocked on the door and called out softly.

"Come in," came the voice of the Lotus Temple Master, also known as the Ghost Taoist, from inside.

Chen Guan pushed open the door and entered. When his eyes fell upon the Lotus Temple Abbot inside, he couldn't help but pause in surprise.

The last time he met the Lotus Temple Master, the master was old, but in excellent spirits, and gave the impression of being young.

However, the Lotus Abbot, who was sitting behind a table at this moment, not only looked old and frail, but also appeared listless and aged, like an old man on his deathbed.

"Abbot, what's going on?" Chen Guan walked into the hall, closed the door behind him, and asked as he approached Abbot Lotus.

The abbot of Lotus Temple sat there, his elbows resting on the table, his hands rubbing a copper coin, his fingers trembling slightly.

He didn't answer Chen Guan's question, but instead rubbed the copper coin with his fingers, staring intently at it, muttering repeatedly, "No...this isn't right...it seems wrong...is it wrong?"

"What's wrong? What's incorrect?" Chen Guan asked again.

At this moment, the abbot of Lotus Temple raised his head and looked at Chen Guan, saying, "Over the years, I have been trying to change his destiny, and his destiny has indeed been changing. In the last two years, he has completely broken free from the pattern of the Heavenly Demon Star entering the palace."

Although the Lotus Temple Master did not say who "he" was, Chen Guan knew very well who he was referring to.

“Isn’t that great?” Chen Guan said.

“It was all good at first, but after he broke free from the pattern of the Heavenly Demon Star entering the palace, I did another divination and found that the light of the Demon Star did not dim, but instead became even stronger.” The Lotus Temple Master said to Chen Guan.

“That’s normal, isn’t it? Fate is hard to defy, and the moon will eventually be mended. If he is no longer the Demon Child, it is fate that someone else will eventually become the Demon Child,” Chen Guan said.

The Lotus Temple Master shook his head and said, "No, the Heavenly Demon Pattern has been broken. The original Demon Star is no longer a Demon Star. If a new Demon Child is born, then a new Demon Star should appear to correspond to it. It won't be like this now."

"What happened?" Chen Guan asked calmly.

“I’ve calculated and deduced countless times, and there’s only one possibility: I was wrong before, and he’s not the real Demon Star.” The Lotus Temple Master said, his voice trembling as he tightly gripped the copper coin.

“How could you possibly miscalculate? You are a Taoist priest.” Chen Guan said.

“Originally I didn’t believe I could be wrong, but the truth is, I was indeed wrong.” Ghost Daoist’s voice was slightly hoarse: “When I tried to change my fate, I forgot that perhaps I am a link in fate, and what I wanted to change was perhaps the direction that fate was meant to go.”

"Chen Guan, your destiny star is the savior, right?" Ghost Taoist suddenly asked, staring at Chen Guan.

"Not bad." Chen Guan nodded slightly.

"Would you be willing to let me tell your fortune?" The ghostly Taoist's aura became slightly heavier.

"Why are you telling my fortune?" Chen Guan asked, frowning.

“The Demon Star is wrong. I’m afraid I’ve miscalculated something else.” Ghost Taoist said, staring at Chen Guan.
