Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

Tiandu City.

When Ren Qingshan returned, it was already dusk, and the sky was ablaze with sunset colors. The city of Tiandu, nestled between mountains and sea, was extremely beautiful.

"How much divine thought have you refined?"

Jin Wujiu asked.

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand... Only one fellow cultivator remains!"

"Are you afraid? The Zheng family will definitely fight to the death rather than lose this battle."

Ren Qingshan's sword is indeed powerful, but it has already been exposed, and the Zheng family should have a way to restrain it.

"What will happen to the Jin family if I run away or lose my powers?"

Ren Qingshan asked calmly.

What do you think?

Jin Wujiu glared at him!

"About ten years ago, in Zhenbei City, when I won money to buy spirit seeds through gambling, I looked at those gamblers and a thought came to mind: Mediocre people are afraid to risk their lives for great things, but they will risk their lives for small gains. I disdain doing such things."

"Now, look at me. In this battle, am I doing something great, or am I seeking only petty gains?"

Ren Qingshan's smile remained unchanged, but it clearly revealed seven parts mockery and three parts self-deprecation.

Jin Wujiu watched the sunset fall on the young man and felt that the young man in front of him was quite charming in this scene.

Suddenly.

His eyes flickered slightly: "Father summons you. Come, come home with me."

……

The Jin family is not in Tiandu City, but in a city on the sea, shrouded in mist and clouds, resembling a celestial palace.

Jin Wujiu arrived in an instant, and along the way, he could see nothing but the scenery of the green mountains.

When they landed again, they were already in a courtyard.

Small bridges and flowing water, quiet and elegant.

"Father, Second Uncle, this is Ren Qingshan."

Beneath the pavilion, two middle-aged cultivators faced a chessboard, seemingly playing chess.

But there were no chess pieces in the game.

The long-bearded, blue-robed cultivator on the left turned around and casually smiled, "Ren Qingshan, come and see if you're on this chessboard?"

Ren Qingshan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Jin Wujiu gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, and she walked over without making a sound, looking at the chessboard.

In an instant.

Countless images and pieces of information flashed through my mind like a fleeting glimpse.

In the Heavenly Ruins, in the Imperial Court, in the Heavenly Capital, in the Sea, in the Northern Region, in Huanguang County, among caravans, and among mortals... countless nodes intertwine, and countless figures are gathered within them.

It turns out that the death of Jiang Youwei in Huanguang County was also part of this chessboard!

His position will either be taken by the Kim family or by the Zheng family.

Ren Qingshan was unaware of the details of other nodes, but he knew everything about Huanguang County.

As for me...

After looking at the chessboard, Ren Qingshan saw Zheng Yi, all alone in the battlefield, but he couldn't see himself.

"I……"

"My battle has not yet begun?"

Ren Qingshan asked with suspicion, a sense of vigilance rising in his heart.

There's another possibility: they couldn't have predicted my arrival!

My boundless worldly energy has shielded me from the secrets of heaven!

However, the fact that others can be predicted but not oneself is also an anomaly!

"That's not the case."

"You are not the only piece not on this chessboard."

"Can everything be calculated to its fullest extent?"

His words were unusually cryptic, making it difficult to discern whether he meant good or bad.

Ren Qingshan remained silent, unsure how to respond; silence is golden!

"Father?"

"cough……"

Jin Wujiu coughed slightly, a little embarrassed, and asked with a smile, "Please enlighten me, Father."

My father always spoke in this way, in a cryptic and ambiguous way, because a single word could reveal profound secrets. Therefore, he was extremely cautious in his speech, often speaking in a mysterious and enigmatic manner, leaving it to the reader to understand on their own.

"Three days later, when Ren Qingshan and the Zheng family fight... I will fight Zheng Bofang alongside the Gongsun family head!"

"If we can kill Zheng Bofang, the outcome will be decided!"

Jin Wujiu's pupils suddenly contracted!

Ren Qingshan's expression also changed slightly.

From a desperate battle over a single chess piece, the situation suddenly transformed into a decisive battle between two or three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Father...this...this, what is the reason for this?"

This turn of events left Jin Wujiu completely bewildered and utterly shocked.

His father, Jin Qianyuan, stroked his beard and sighed, "I spent ten years of my lifespan to obtain a sliver of divine secret; it is an extremely ingenious move. As for the reason, I do not know it either. If I were to try to calculate it, I would probably lose my life."

Upon hearing this...

Ren Qingshan's head buzzed, but suddenly he seemed to understand something!

A book of a hundred deaths!

If I die in tomorrow's battle, the Book of a Hundred Deaths can be rewound to twelve hours ago.

It's not just one person who goes back in time; everything goes back in time!

Although they had no memory after the rewind, ... I did have it, and I also had the power of stripping away memories.

What changes might occur? Cause and effect are intertwined and entangled; a single piece can affect the entire game!

"Ren Qingshan, have you thought of anything?"

Jin Qianyuan noticed something unusual in Ren Qingshan's eyes and immediately asked with a smile.

"I... am a little nervous, worried that I am not capable enough and will ruin the Jin family's important affairs."

"It was my first time participating in such a big event, so I was quite nervous and lost my composure."

Ren Qingshan came to his senses and tried to cover it up.

"Ha, you are an honored guest to the Jin family, so there is no need to be nervous. At this critical moment, you have been able to lend a helping hand. The Jin family will remember this favor."

"This battle is not just your affair; the Jin family must also make its own contribution."

"This treasure is called the [Transcending the Three Realms, Beyond the Five Elements Seal]. If you encounter a life-or-death crisis, you can escape the battlefield. However, this seal can only be used once to ensure your safety."

Ren Qingshan saw the talisman, his throat bobbed slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and then took it in his hand.

Jin Wujiu couldn't help but chuckle sourly and tease, "Father, you're so generous! I've begged you for this precious seal so many times, but you wouldn't give it to me. Now you've given it to Ren Qingshan!"

Ren Qingshan listened to the father and son's conversation in silence.

It's unclear whether they were genuinely having a conversation or intentionally trying to win people over.

"You live in the capital city all day long, what use do you have for this?"

"However, you handled this matter very well. Once we achieve a complete victory in this battle, the family will reward you accordingly."

"You two go."

……

As he walked out of the garden, Ren Qingshan was still deeply moved.

I never imagined that this matter would turn me into a key player in such a way!

For a time, I felt a growing sense of awe and longing for the mysterious secrets of heaven.

Yes.

He certainly couldn't calculate the Book of a Hundred Deaths.

But it can calculate what outcome is most advantageous!

However, this calculation is not very accurate.

He gave me the treasure, so I won't die, but that's not a good thing for the Jin family.

If he doesn't give it to me, I'll die, then be resurrected with the Book of a Hundred Deaths to deprive the Zheng family of one of their treasures. That would be most advantageous for the Jin family.

This also shows that he could not calculate the Book of a Hundred Deaths, and could not predict everything correctly. He could only vaguely and indistinctly see a glimmer of light in the endless variables.

Then do your best and accept your fate.

Of course, there may be other possibilities; cause and effect are intertwined, and a single hair can affect the whole situation.

"Ren Qingshan, what are you thinking about?"

Jin Wujiu's tone was somewhat heavy. His father's great battle with the Zheng family at the Foundation Establishment stage was imminent, and it was happening so suddenly, like a storm, making people uneasy.

"Thinking about... fate."

Ren Qingshan responded casually.

"destiny?""

"My father once said something I'd like to share with you: We, the cultivators, know our destiny without fear, and strive for daily renewal!"

"Oh, right, your family has arrived. They're at No. 16, Block 37. Go and see them."
