From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 79 Heaven's Favor (Please continue reading!)
The light blade pierced the sky and the earth, instantly emptying Qinglianjun's health bar.

But the storm outside intensified, the sky grew increasingly blood-red, and a powerful force of resentment radiated outwards, causing You Ming's mind to tremble.

Qinglian Jun has an extraordinary origin; she is the natural ruler of waters and lakes, and her rule over the three thousand miles of Bibo Lake predates the establishment of the divine path. Therefore, killing such a deity will inevitably incur divine retribution.

Only those with truly great fortune can be unafraid of such backlash, not only forcibly slaying Qinglian Jun's corrupted divine body, but also gaining immeasurable merit.

He Yunlong remained calm as always, but the cultivators around him were already smiling.

Opportunities are predetermined; even if one truly falls into your lap, you may not live to seize it.

Some even looked at the City God, wanting to see his expression.

The troublemaker you, the gods, deliberately arranged, probably can't withstand the curse of fate.

To their disappointment, the City God's face remained calm and still, as serene as a mountain.

You Ming naturally couldn't withstand the curse of this level, because his luck had dropped to two points, and the rest had been added to his comprehension.

In the blink of an eye, the scales on his body turned a withered yellow, and even his soul seemed to be twisted and polluted.

"Om."

The light within him shone brightly, enveloping his entire body and transforming into a hazy power that kept the curses from the outside world at bay.

"Luck!"

"It takes immense luck to withstand the onslaught of these curses."

Taking advantage of this brief moment, You Ming recalled what Qinglian Jun had said to him earlier.

However, he was unsure if he had enough luck.

Because his attribute panel only shows good fortune, not luck, and there is a big difference between the two.

Those with high fortune are said to have smooth sailing in their daily lives and continuous good luck. In particular, they are born lucky and would definitely win the lottery frequently if they bought tickets.

However, for those with high fortune, good or bad luck is secondary; what matters is that they are destined for greatness.

Those born under auspicious circumstances are destined to stir up the winds of change. They may emerge as the ultimate victors, turning danger into safety at crucial moments, but in ordinary times they may not only lack good fortune but also frequently encounter setbacks.

You Ming is one of those people who are lucky but not destined for greatness.

But at this point, there's no time to worry about that anymore.

You Ming instantly cleared all his comprehension, and then his luck increased by 8.

What does it mean for quantitative change to lead to qualitative change? Generally speaking, five attribute points is a huge watershed. If any attribute value can reach five points, that's the level of an absolute genius.

A score of five or higher is considered monstrous.

You Ming was born with five points of good fortune, so he has always had smooth sailing and has also been able to bring blessings to the area, bringing good luck to the people in his jurisdiction.

But now, his fortune has increased by 8 points in one go, and combined with the 2 points he had left, his fortune has skyrocketed to 10 points.

"boom."

Beneath You Ming's body, a five-colored auspicious light emerged, like the dawn breaking through the clouds, diluting all the curses around him, and a carefree aura of no disaster or calamity enveloped his body.

Its mottled texture, interwoven with other patterns, unexpectedly reveals the character "福" (fortune/blessing).

Centered on his body, the temperature was mild and the vegetation thriving; it seemed that the entire prefecture and thirteen counties were benefiting from his blessings.

"Auspicious omen!"

"This is an auspicious omen!" Within the City God's realm of Tai'an Prefecture, all the deities gaped slightly, seemingly unable to believe it.

It's not that they're unsophisticated; it's just that auspicious omens are such a high-end thing.

What is considered auspicious?

Heaven and earth resonate in harmony, and auspicious herbs sprout; a black tortoise carries a stele, signifying the mandate of heaven; a sage emerges and hunts westward, capturing a unicorn…

Any auspicious omen is closely related to the destiny of the world and may even become a major turning point in history.

Ten points of good fortune is already considered auspicious.

He Yunlong tightened his grip slightly, his knuckles turning white. Although his face remained expressionless, it was clear that he was not entirely calm inside.

"What does suffering the backlash from slaying a god have to do with good fortune? One needs a great destiny; if one's destiny isn't strong enough..."

He Yunlong's eyes narrowed slightly. Although auspicious energy could offset the curse of calamity to some extent, it was not a cure-all.

But suddenly, a faint purple aura appeared on the little carp, exuding nobility and holiness.

Purple aura enveloped his body, and in an instant, it seemed to transform into a brilliant sun, sweeping away the calamities that filled the sky. The scene that had just been filled with blood rain and howling ghosts was now clear and blue.

"Heaven is on our side!"

"Who is it...?"

He Yunlong swayed slightly, almost gritting his teeth as he uttered those four words. Originally, the biggest problem with this carp was its lack of foothold, but when this purple aura appeared, the last shortcoming was also made up.

The presence of this purple aura means that this carp must have attracted the attention of some powerful being.

"what?"

"Looks like I got a piece of equipment?"

You Ming didn't have so many thoughts at the moment. After he survived the backlash from the heavens, he was instantly covered by a sky full of merit. At the same time, the [Gift of Destiny] that he had been keeping active also popped up a feedback message, notifying him that he had obtained a rare item.

"so tired."

The light blades in Youming's twin fins slowly dissipated, all the stats on his body returned to normal, and his entire body floated lightly towards the ground.

The events of the past few days had been so complicated and exciting that now that everything was over, he felt completely drained.

However, almost at the same time, in a celestial temple, the Golden Boy God stood cautiously to the side, looking at a figure in front of him that seemed to stand at the boundary between heaven and earth.

"Recently I noticed that there have been a few more incense offerings. It was originally a trivial matter, but on a whim, I decided to do some research."

The figure spoke softly, and the Golden Boy God was nervous. He naturally knew the source of the incense offerings: the little carp had collaborated with the City God of Changning County to hand over 30% of the incense offerings to the Goddess.

This matter was completely beneath the Empress's notice, but he didn't know why she would suddenly say such a thing, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Could it be that the little carp had done something wrong?

"He's a filial child, that's good."

But Bixia Yuanjun simply nodded and then said nothing more.

But the Golden Boy God was inwardly shocked. What kind of person was the Empress? A single word of praise from her was enough to elevate the fate of a mortal by a great margin. Countless heroes of the heavens could not even catch the Empress's eye.

In fact, if it were merely a matter of filial piety, such things would naturally not attract the attention of Bixia Yuanjun.

However, since the little carp directly set the fortune to 10 points, such powerful fortune was enough to attract the attention of Bixia Yuanjun in the unseen world.

Of course, that's all.
