Cordial… w.a.n.g Baole stopped in his tracks. He didn’t immediately look around at the world below him. No matter what it looked like, it didn’t matter to w.a.n.g Baole anymore.
He understood that the tomb of the Dark Emperor was a trial, a choice, and an inheritance. From start to finish, it was a mission for the visitors to walk through the dark sect.
w.a.n.g Baole had walked this path in the dark dream back then. This was the first time he had done so in reality. However, he was willing. As he walked, he seemed to recall everything that had happened in the dark dream. He recalled the beautiful memories.
In Silence, w.a.n.g Baole felt a sense of familiarity that came from deep below. The word ‘good’that he had heard earlier reverberated in his mind. Gradually, a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
“Familiar…”w.a.n.g Baole mumbled. He had an answer in his heart, but he couldn’t believe that it was real. The calm emotions that he had felt when he was guiding the soul and the corpse’s face began to stir because of the warmth and familiarity.
The waves covered his memories and brought him back to the past, back to that dream. That Dream… to a certain extent, it could be said that it had changed w.a.n.g Baole’s life.
Therefore, after stopping in his tracks, w.a.n.g Baole lowered his head. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the land of the world he was in, looking into the deepest part of the world. Through the stone tablet, he knew that there was a coffin there. However, when he looked at it now, despite his cultivation.., he was still unable to see through it, but an image had already appeared in his mind.
In the image, in the deepest part of the world, there was a figure in his memories. At that moment, he was looking at him, revealing a loving smile that he had not seen for a long time.
As he stared, w.a.n.g Baole’s heart was in turmoil. Various thoughts appeared in his mind, and for some reason, his eyes were slightly red. This master whom he had never really met had a great impact on him, and he was very gentle and sincere towards him.
The Dark Dream’s acceptance of him as a master had been fixed for a lifetime.
Eventually, these emotions gathered on his body, causing w.a.n.g Baole to lower his head and kneel down. He kowtowed towards the figure that appeared in his mind.
“Good.”
Vaguely, that familiar voice reverberated in w.a.n.g Baole’s mind. It lasted for a long time before it dissipated. w.a.n.g Baole took a deep breath. When he stood up, determination appeared in his eyes, and a surge of energy surged from him.
He didn’t care about his senior brother’s disappointment after being influenced by the Heavenly Dao.
He didn’t care about the dark sect’s rejection of him or his sighs.
He didn’t care about the path he was going to take in the end. In fact, it was contrary to the dark sect. The worries that he didn’t want to think about in the depths of his heart, that he might have to fight with his senior brother in the future, also disappeared at this moment.
Because right now, his only thought was to properly draw those souls with corpse faces, determine their fate, cause and effect, and send them to reincarnation.
That was because… his master was looking at it again.
It was just like how his master was inspecting his homework in the dark dream.
With that thought in mind, w.a.n.g Baole’s gaze swept across the land on this level. It was different from the previous levels. The sky above this level was a giant compa.s.s!
The compa.s.s was too big. It was densely packed with countless runes. Each of the runes here represented a different fate. From the inside out, there were more than ten thousand rings, it was as if the rings were bigger than the other rings, and they were placed together to form the feng shui compa.s.s.
Each ring within the feng shui compa.s.s could be rotated. That way, a huge amount of fate could be created. Even if it was the same fate, the runes would change differently with each pa.s.sing breath of time.
The countless runes in the feng shui compa.s.s would change in an instant without repeating themselves. That was how the Feng Shui Compa.s.s, which could basically encompa.s.s all living beings, was formed.
The test of this level was to determine fate.
To determine the fate of the Seven Kingdoms of the Soul Realm and the countless souls in the future, what w.a.n.g Baole needed to do was to follow the guidance of the universe and replace the Heavenly Dao to bestow their own destinies on them.
There couldn’t be any mistakes. If there were any mistakes, they would affect the life of the soul. To him, this might not be a big deal, but to the soul, it was life-long.
Similarly, if there were any mistakes, it would affect the operation of the disk. If there were too many mistakes and the operation of the disk stopped, the Heavenly Dao would be affected as well.
In the Dark Dream, w.a.n.g Baole had heard many exhortations from his master. It was a pity that he hadn’t personally partic.i.p.ated in this segment in the Dark Dream. He had only seen his master evolve and his senior brother perform.
“Don’t be selfish, don’t be selfish.”w.a.n.g Baole muttered to himself as he looked at the land beneath the compa.s.s. The land wasn’t fog, but a Black Sea.
Purple Lightning occasionally flashed across the sea, making the entire surface of the sea look awe-inspiring. At the same time, pillars stood on the surface of the sea. They seemed to be connected to the bottom of the sea, extending to the surface of the sea, they were tens of thousands of feet long. These pillars… were the platforms of destiny.
Dark sect disciples had to sit on this platform to comprehend the Heavenly Dao’s destiny and determine the destiny of their souls.
w.a.n.g Baole’s gaze swept across the pillars. Determination appeared in his eyes. His body swayed, and he guided the endless souls of the seven nations around him, which had drawn corpse faces and no longer had the aura of death, towards one of the pillars on the surface of the sea, step by step.
It seemed slow, but in reality, he had only taken three steps before he had stepped onto one of the pillars. He bowed once more towards the surface of the sea below.
“Master, Please Check!”
With that, w.a.n.g Baole lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down cross-legged. His eyes were calm as he raised his head to look at the firmament compa.s.s. The dark fire within his body erupted at that moment, and the dark child seal between his brows shone as well, it seemed to resonate with the firmament compa.s.s of fate, but it also seemed to use his own body as the key to open it.
The firmament’s compa.s.s of fate responded instantly. Amidst the rumbling sounds, the tens of thousands of rings of the compa.s.s of fate began to move at the same time. The frequency was different. Some were fast, some were slow. As it spun, waves of the aura of fate spread out, it spread out from within, affecting all directions and enveloping the entire world.
Wisps of souls flew out from the boundless sea of souls around w.a.n.g Baole, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation. They floated in front of him and behind him. As each wisp of soul was drawn by him with his full concentration, he was extremely familiar with them. As he raised his right hand, he grabbed at the fate compa.s.s in the sky, he very casually grabbed the fate aura that the Heavenly Dao wanted to give these souls new life.
The fate aura also had a color. It was gray.
The gray aura was continuously grabbed by w.a.n.g Baole. Through his careful inspection, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with the aura of fate. It matched his dao heart and the essence of the soul. More importantly, within the aura of fate.., there were no loopholes or signs of interference. Only then did it fuse into the soul.
The most crucial step… appeared.
As the first wisp of fate aura fused into the first wisp of soul, w.a.n.g Baole’s body shook violently. His vision blurred. In the span of a breath, he seemed to have become the soul, experiencing the soul’s life after its rebirth.
He experienced the seven emotions, experienced the six desires, walked through joy and anger, and understood the joys and sorrows of life. This was the most difficult part of the process of determining one’s fate.
One needed to personally experience it. While one needed to find flaws and make up for them, it was also very easy to be affected. Once one’s emotions fluctuated and was disturbed by it, it would be considered incompetent.
As time pa.s.sed, as more souls were sensed by it, the probability of being affected would increase until one couldn’t bear it anymore and went crazy.
This was the fate of the dark sect.
While giving the Heavenly Dao a mission, it was inevitable that some of its essence would be lost. This was because during this process, what the disciples of the dark sect truly wanted to find, or rather, the root of their mission… was actually to find immortals.
If they couldn’t find them, they would be sealed forever. After they found them… they would be sealed forever until the arrival of Allheaven.
Not all the dark sect disciples knew about this. To be precise, most of them didn’t. However, w.a.n.g Baole understood. However, he didn’t care about it at the moment. What he wanted to do was to let his teacher examine his homework.
However, very quickly, w.a.n.g Baole’s eyes revealed a look of confusion.
He realized that the soul whose fate had been decided by him had always felt regret and confusion after experiencing his entire life.
It’s like a puppet..
Why is it like this… is it because everything has been decided? Is it because life has been arranged… gradually, w.a.n.g baole frowned. He sank into a strange state, deep in thought.
At the same time, the gaze from above revealed a complicated look.
At the same time, the gaze from below revealed a look of antic.i.p.ation.
