Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Huo Gua, yet a Manjusaka Flower

"As you've probably noticed, that girl is very strange. She looks human, but she's definitely not 'human' in essence."

Gu Yuena's voice was soft, yet it carried an all-knowing indifference, as if the fate of heaven and earth were all within her sight.

"Moreover, the surge of the power of destiny just now caused too much of a commotion. Humanity, as well as other hidden forces on the continent, have already noticed the anomaly in the core area of ​​the Star Dou."

Di Tian's pupils contracted slightly.

"Her forehead touched that of the auspicious beast, their eyes of destiny merged, and they were already intertwined, their two destinies completely intertwined and merged into one."

Gu Yuena's tone turned slightly somber: "Therefore, no matter what, you must not touch her. Killing her is tantamount to severing the life of the auspicious beast, and neither of us can bear the consequences."

Di Tian was deeply shaken and momentarily dazed upon hearing this.

He had lived for nearly a million years and seen countless strange people and events, but he had never heard of anything so absurd yet real.

After a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, "My lord, is this matter... a blessing or a curse for our soul beast race?"

"It's a blessing," Gu Yuena said firmly. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both soul beasts and humans."

"From then on, the fortunes of the two races merged and complemented each other, making their overall fortunes several times stronger than before."

"Through this exchange of destinies, the auspicious beast's own destiny will be greatly enhanced, and its potential will surpass that of the past. As for you... a great calamity of a million years is approaching, and the road ahead was originally a dead end, but now, a glimmer of hope has emerged."

"Buzz—"

Di Tian was terribly shaken.

The golden vertical pupils burst forth with dazzling light, and the anxiety and despair suppressed for millions of years stirred up a ripple at this moment.

The million-year calamity was a sharp sword hanging over his head, ready to obliterate him at any moment.

His voice trembled slightly, yet he remained utterly respectful: "My lord, what you're saying... is it true? Is there really still a glimmer of hope for me?"

"It's just a sliver of hope," Gu Yuena said calmly. "A celestial tribulation that occurs every million years is extremely rare, and even then, the chances of survival are slim. But at least, it's no longer completely hopeless."

Di Tian took a deep breath, and his overwhelming ferocity gradually subsided.

"Now, you retreat and secretly guard the auspicious beast. Do not reveal yourself or disturb the two of them."

Di Tian remained silent for a moment, then slowly lowered his enormous dragon head, his voice steady and respectful.

"Yes, my lord!"

"There is one more thing," Gu Yuena's voice rang out again, carrying a hint of indifferent detachment as if she foresaw the future, "The fates of the two of them were destined to be intertwined for life."

"If one day in the future, the auspicious beast wants to leave the Star Dou Great Forest and go to the human world to find that girl... you don't need to stop her, just let her go."

"Two women of destiny are traveling together, their fates intertwined, their fortunes and misfortunes interdependent. In this world, there is almost no power that can easily harm them."

…………

Just as Gu Yuena had predicted.

The wave of destiny that erupted in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest had already broken through the misty mountains, sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent like an invisible giant wave.

Demonic forest.

The earth trembled slightly, and an endless, malevolent aura surged forth.

The Evil Emperor slowly awoke from his deepest territory, his massive body concealed in the darkness, only opening a pair of cold, indifferent giant eyes, gazing towards the northern Star Dou Great Forest.

"The power of fate... is so clearly stirring."

An ancient, booming voice echoed through the dense forest, carrying a detached indifference that seemed to have seen through the world: "Another auspicious omen has been born. It's just a pity that its destiny lies in the stars, and has nothing to do with my Demon Forest."

Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.

Moon, who had been resting with his eyes closed on the recliner, slowly opened his dim and deep eyes.

He did not get up, but merely raised his eyes slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the vast sea of ​​clouds and landing on the far south of the north.

"Strange... A second one has appeared in the lineage of auspicious beasts."

He muttered to himself, a deep worry creeping onto his aged face, "This is no good omen for humanity. An ominous feeling lingers... this may be a sign of impending chaos."

"Shrek can't wait any longer."

"We must overcome all opposition and focus all our efforts on developing soul tools, otherwise... when a catastrophe strikes in the future, Shrek Academy, and even all of humanity, may face annihilation."

"Xuanzi still hasn't returned... Very well, I'll go there myself."

He hesitated for a moment, his gaze serious, "I just hope... nothing... uncontrollable danger will occur there."

Sun and Moon Empire, Mingdu, the secret headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The secret room was filled with eerie atmosphere, and vengeful spirits howled incessantly.

Long Xiaoyao, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, his aura slightly condensed.

Ye Xishui, who was throwing the collected vengeful spirits into the Death God Tower, also stopped what she was doing and exchanged a glance with Long Xiaoyao.

Both of them wore unusually solemn expressions.

"The second Imperial Auspicious Beast... has appeared in the world."

Ye Xishui's voice was chilling, her eyes flashing with a crazed greed, "This is an omen of the Holy Sect's great prosperity. If we can capture this newborn auspicious beast and sacrifice it..."

Even the ruthless and fanatical Holy Spirit Church could not suppress its inner turmoil and began to secretly plot.

The boundless deep sea.

Giant waves surged, and an enormous, demonic whale slowly emerged from the water.

It opened its huge, weathered eyes and looked toward the mainland.

"The second auspicious beast..."

The demon whale murmured softly, with a hint of melancholy, "If this auspicious energy were to fall into the ocean, I would be absolutely certain of succeeding in breaking through the four hundred thousand-year heavenly tribulation."

"Unfortunately, the current sea god is immoral and unable to control the ocean's fortune, which is why the auspicious beast chose to go elsewhere."

"The calamity that has lasted for four hundred thousand years is just around the corner..."

It sighed softly, and its enormous tail slowly sank into the sea. "Things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time."

Some were filled with doubt and uncertainty, some were filled with greed, some were deeply wary, and some were secretly on guard.

Throughout the entire continent, whether human powerhouses or soul beasts, all were affected by this fluctuation of fate, causing their minds to waver.

A powerful undercurrent that will sweep across the world is quietly brewing.

"boom!"

A muffled thud suddenly exploded.

The three-eyed golden lion was touching Huo Yunxiao's forehead. At the moment when the power of fate merged to its extreme, the enchanting spider lily ornament between Huo Yunxiao's brows suddenly bloomed with a rich, blood-red light.

A vast, cold, invisible force carrying the aura of reincarnation and annihilation suddenly erupted, sending the three-eyed golden lion flying without warning.

The auspicious beast's petite body tumbled several times in the air before staggering to the ground, its golden fur slightly disheveled, its expression filled with bewilderment and astonishment when it came to its senses.

It stared blankly at the girl in front of it, not realizing for a moment what had happened.

In summary, the guidance of fate has been completed.
