From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 138: Modifying Fate
You Ming was initially a little uneasy, but then he thought that since Bixia Yuanjun thought it was a small matter, it meant that the power behind him could still protect him, so he put these things out of his mind.

"Alright, I'll take care of the rest. Just wait for my message."

The Golden Boy God patted off imaginary dust from his bottom and turned to leave.

"My Lord, there is one more thing."

You Ming suddenly called out to the other person.

He recently conceived a child from the mountain and plans to plant it at the foot of Yuanling Mountain. However, given his insignificant status and limited influence, the local authorities don't pay him any attention.

Now that he had the chance to meet the Golden Boy God, he naturally wanted to whisper in his ear.

"Mountain Embryo? I never expected that old fellow, the Mountain Guardian King, would have such a treasure."

"Alright, I understand."

The Golden Boy God stroked his chin and said, "You ask me if I support you? Of course I will support you."

Since You Ming has already been placed in the lower realm, it is certainly hoped that his influence in the human world will be as great as possible.

Moreover, this mountain embryo is only the most basic kind, at most it can only elevate Yuanling Mountain to the level of a famous mountain.

When the time is right, I will earnestly request the Empress to bestow upon me the essence of the sacred mountain, so that I may gather all the spiritual energy of Bingzhou and transform it into a blessed land of the world. That would be truly satisfying.

With that thought in mind, the Golden Boy God transformed into a beam of golden light and quickly departed.

At this moment, You Ming was in a daze for a while.

He felt he should ask the Empress if she wanted some external anesthetic, as it could also help with childbirth.

And then there's the "Brief Record of Pregnancy Safe Delivery." In his heart, You Ming felt that this was more important than any forceps. Only this kind of mindset of constantly summarizing and refining is the right path; everything else is just a derivative technique.

But these big shots were all so busy that he didn't even have time to react.

……

On this day, the weather on Yuanling Mountain was clear and the forests were quiet. The wells and springs gurgled, the fields were filled with the sounds of farmers singing, and the nurseries were teeming with the vitality of medicinal herbs.

Although the weather outside is getting colder, there is still a hint of spring in the air on this mountain.

You Ming was sitting in the temple, originally organizing the "Record of Birth Dates" with Wu Mo, when suddenly his mind was jolted, and he seemed to hear a very faint thumping sound in his ear, which was almost inaudible if one's mind was not very sharp.

He felt a little dizzy, but he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Wu Mo looked up in surprise: "My lord?"

You Ming shook his head: "I'm fine, you can go down now."

He waved his hand, and Wu Mo bowed and left the main hall.

"This feeling……"

He felt as if he were drunk, his steps were unsteady, but his thoughts were floating, as if he had entered the clouds.

Then, he suddenly felt faint spiritual lines of light appearing in the various orifices of his body, as if a thin veil had been gently lifted between him and the world.

In an instant, breathing became smoother, spiritual energy flowed more naturally, and even the magical power in his dantian seemed to become clearer and more resilient.

The world he saw before him was slightly different. The primordial energy between heaven and earth was no longer a hazy mixture, but presented a very shallow texture, like the shimmering scales on water, with rhythm and response.

It seemed that he could easily manipulate these forces with just a gentle nudge.

"How could this happen? Did my genes mutate?"

You Ming was puzzled. How could his perfectly healthy body suddenly undergo such a strange change?

He hesitated for a moment, then immediately activated [Equal Element Adjustment]. His pupils contracted instantly as he discovered that most of his attributes had changed. Appearance: 3.

Willpower: 5.

Spirituality:2.

Perception: 2.

Luck: 6.

Aside from Willpower and Luck, all other attributes increased by 1. He even suspected that Willpower and Luck could have increased as well, but he couldn't break through because his base points were too high.

Even so, he felt like he'd hit the jackpot!
Moreover, this is only because [Equal Quantity Adjustment] can only detect these few attributes; it must have also increased some attributes that equal quantity adjustment cannot detect.

"Now I've truly become a genius."

You Ming was filled with emotion. It's so good to have such good fortune. Even just cultivating at home, his aptitude can improve.

……

Above the Purple Clouds, north of the Cloud Dial, within the Bixia Yuanjun Daoist Temple, lies a high pavilion unknown to the outside world.

From a distance, it appears as an inverted sky, with 360 cloud pillars slowly rotating around the central axis according to the celestial numbers. Below it, the void is rootless, yet it remains constant and does not fall, as if the entire causal structure of the celestial realm is anchored to it.

It is a multi-tiered disc with nine nested layers. At the center is a bronze disc of destiny, which is thousands of feet wide. The edges are engraved with countless ancient seal characters, each of which represents a possible direction of destiny.

Bixia Yuanjun has come to this place alone today, with even the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden waiting outside.

Auspicious clouds circled the steps and withdrew, divine officials were far away from the nine palace gates, and the winds from all directions ceased.

Only Bixia Yuanjun remains, standing before the platform where fates intertwine.

Before them lay a mountain of bronze discs, covered with countless talismanic threads, representing every branch of destiny in this era that could potentially become the center of attention.

At this time, one of the thin lines, named "Youming," was still moving at the bottom, with occasional fluctuations in its energy, but it was not significant.

Bixia Yuanjun slightly closed her phoenix eyes, and a thought stirred in her mind.

A golden light emanated from the bronze plate and merged with the fine lines. In an instant, the life lines trembled, and several originally independent life paths deviated on their own, merging and merging with the "Wandering Cry" line.

At the same time, a large net seemed to appear in the void, with countless pale golden particles flowing and drifting, as if the entire framework of destiny was unfolding here, endlessly cycling layer by layer.

To mortals, destiny seems to be ordained by the heavens. But in reality, in the eyes of those powerful beings, it is nothing more than something that can be adjusted and changed by paying a price.

Just as it is incredibly difficult for ordinary people to rise above their circumstances, the path taken by scions of noble families is woven by powerful figures from the moment they are born.

"When a vessel is perfected, it returns to its source; when a destiny is established, it can be incorporated into the framework."

"Now that you have received my seal, your destiny is no ordinary one, your path no ordinary one, and every step you take will change the course of your life."

Bixia Yuanjun gazed up at the heavens, where in a portion of the fate network, fortune surged and twelve destiny stars twinkled. If a powerful immortal were present, they would naturally recognize these twelve destiny stars as the so-called "Five Clouds, Four Heroes, and Three Heroes."

But now, You Ming's lifeline has suddenly fallen into a huge net.

It became the thirteenth star.

Moreover, it wasn't at the very end; rather, it forcefully pushed aside two of the two stars, placing itself in the third-to-last position.

At the same time, its body was dazzlingly bright, though not as bright as the brightest stars, it was no less than most of the stars.

"This little carp has a special destiny. When it fought against these chosen ones, it not only did not lose, but also gained the upper hand."

Upon seeing this, Bixia Yuanjun couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
