Chapter 115 The River of Destiny
Destry, whose consciousness was "deprived", all the God clones, the main God clones and the Holy Domain original body fell into a stagnation. All consciousnesses merged into one, entering a strange torrent.
Different from his previous feelings, Destry, who entered the strange torrent for the first time without Bai Yu's active summons, did not see any scenes that could predict the future. The only feeling he had was that an invisible force and trend was supporting him and continuously floating towards the surface of the torrent.
This is the combined effect of the torrent water being drained away and the power of "strong luck".
Fortunately, he was protected by the starlight, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to even struggle and find his way in this torrent.
He continued to float up like this, and as he got closer to the water surface, the thrust and buoyancy continued to weaken, until Destry's head and neck emerged from the water - Destry finally emerged from the surface of the strange torrent for the first time.
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but nothingness.
There was only a huge river that came from nowhere, flowing calmly for eternity. The river meandered forward, splitting into many tributaries from time to time, and all of these tributaries would return again and eventually rush to the same place, which was a huge glacier that condensed a terrible cold that could freeze even the universe.
Among them, there are a few very thin tributaries that try to climb upwards, but unfortunately they suddenly lose their strength, fall into the river, and drift with the current.
At this moment, Destry suddenly realized that this was the river of destiny!
Millions of living beings, from the ants that can be crushed to death with one foot in the material plane, to the upper gods who dominate the endless planes, and even those high and mighty gods and heavenly masters in the main universe who play with space and time, the destinies of all their lives converge into this miraculous and magnificent river of destiny.
And all of these, the fate of countless living beings, can only return to the glacier at absolute zero - the end.
Destry couldn't help but look down at his reflection in the river, and what he saw was not himself, but Uhtred. The shadow of this Lord of Destruction stretched along the river into the unclear future, and finally solidified in the glacier.
And that glacier, just one glance at it, makes people feel their souls are shattered. Starting with itself, it drives destruction in all directions, past and future, dragging everything into a complete end.
In front of it, history, time and destiny are all nothingness. Only the long river of destiny formed by the interweaving of these three can slightly break away from nothingness and reveal its entity.
"So that's how it is. Once there is life, there is a destiny. No matter how high or low, long or short-lived, whether you are lucky or unlucky, everything will eventually come to an end. That's why Magnus said, 'Every plant is destined to wither, and everything must come to an end!' The point is not that plants are destined to wither, but that everything must come to an end!
Be it personal death, the destruction of all living things, the collapse of the plane, or the collapse of the universe, unless you truly transcend and take control of one side, you cannot escape this predetermined fate!
This is fate, this is destruction!"
At this moment, Destry's understanding of the rules of fate and destruction actually took a step forward at the same time, which was a real step forward! This kind of understanding was perfect for this magic-affiliated universe!
It was also at this moment that Destry saw that the reflection of Uhtred on the river surface no longer extended into the endless future, but stopped abruptly, blurred and dissipated, gradually sinking to the bottom of the river, and it would never see the light of day again. Destry looked at the timely feedback from the River of Destiny and said with emotion, "It is worthy of being the River of Destiny. Just a little change will immediately show up in the river and affect the future."
Thinking of this, Destry suddenly thought of Linley. “While I am looking down at the long river of fate, why don’t I take a look at whether the fate of this future controller exists, whether it is in it, and what is so special about it?”
But just as Destry had this thought, the starlight chain, which had always been solid, suddenly began to collapse.
No one can predict fate through the long river of fate. The reason why he was able to see Uhtred this time was because his soul power happened to be swallowed up by the tributary of fate, which led to his appearance.
Seeing the state of the Starlight Chain, Destry sighed. Knowing that nothing could be done, he could only sigh, "I wonder if the ability of the controller who controls the fate of all living beings to observe fate is related to this long river of fate?"
But there was no time for Destry to reflect. Suddenly, the starlight chain that was on the verge of collapse began to expand and contract. Destry's consciousness was pulled into the torrent again and returned to his soul through the starlight gate.
At this moment, there was no other soul force interfering in the soul space. Uhtred saw that the situation was not good, so he decisively and ruthlessly interrupted his innate magical powers and cut off all the soul threads. Even so, a small part of his soul force was devoured and his own soul was cut, which also weakened his breath a lot.
At this moment, he was looking at Destry with shock, and from time to time he looked at Auf with suspicion and resentment.
Auf was also deeply shocked - Destry could actually devour Uhtred's soul power, which was something he had never expected.
As early as several years ago, after he and Uhtred captured Manru, he took the opportunity to tell his speculation - judging from the fact that Destry had to return to the material plane to recuperate after every battle over the years, Destry's soul defense might be time-limited.
Based on the fact that Destry had never suffered two powerful soul attacks in a short period of time - even the four sacred beasts had to wait until the four sacred beasts joined forces to kill Arturo before they could kill him - it was speculated that Destry's soul defense could only withstand one extraordinary attack, and once it did, it would take a long time to repair.
Therefore, he suggested that Uhtred should give Destry two soul attacks in a short period of time after making his move, and even three times in a row to be on the safe side.
However, Uhtred's innate magical power "Soul Prison" can only be used twice in a short period of time. In order to hit Destry every time, he specially taught Uhtred the "Eye of Soul Fixation" that he had studied for many years.
He originally thought that even if his guess was wrong, Uhtred could not break through Destry's soul defense, and at most he would continue to maintain the status quo. And with Destry, Lilith and Vivia working together, it would not be impossible for him and Uhtred to barely form a team.
He didn't want power, but he didn't want Destry to continue to grow and the three-man group to dominate everything in a covert and open way. But now it seems that Uhtred may find it difficult to trust him again.
