Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1358 - 353: We’re Doomed, the Coordinates Are Wrong

He just realized now that he never asked the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master what these resources were needed for.Nor did he know if there was any intention to return them.

Yet on second thought, after all, the other party is the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master.

In the destiny clan hierarchy, it is natural for a Destiny Master to call upon the resources of the branch members, not to mention that the other party has pointed out a path beyond life’s shackles.

It’s just... this is his accumulated wealth after all.

With a helpless heart, the Life Book squatted down, his fingertips brushing over the not yet fully dissipated destiny runes on the sandy ground, containing traces of the trajectory of the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master’s life, carrying a bit of warmth.

"Transcend life’s shackles..."

He softly repeated these words, as the eyes beneath the mask gradually became steadier.

Moments later, he suddenly stood up, and the "Decisive Magic Wand" hit the sand heavily, the light at the base of the wand repelling the surrounding sandstorm.

Forming a barrier surrounded by the evil wind.

"Enough."

He took a deep breath, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart over the resources being taken.

Thinking that if he truly could, as the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master said, find the so-called path beyond shackles, what are a few resources?

Sitting cross-legged, consciousness sinking into the spirit network, the silvery destiny trajectories intertwined like threads, sketching out the recorded events of the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master.

As time passed, the Life Book felt increasingly strange.

The event that changed the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master primarily occurred when the clan was unsealed, during an equivalent trade in the "Throat Splitting Valley" area.

There was an unexpected incident during this trade.

The invited party had grasped a rule-level power stronger than the "fate rule".

Logically, even if the rule power is stronger than fate rule, interception is impossible.

Every rule has specific "absolute logic".

For example, fate rule cannot protect a member shrouded by the Power of Destiny to be undying and undying.

Even if the other party does not possess rule-level power, as long as their strength surpasses the destiny clan members, they can kill them.

Conflicts between rules happen mostly during logical confrontations.

For instance, if a rule’s effect is absolute destruction.

Another rule’s effect is absolute integrity.

When these two rules simultaneously act on a target, conflict occurs, the more powerful rule suppressing the other.

Hence, the fate rule was subject to suppression by a stronger rule, likely due to a rule conflict.

If all rules stronger than fate can exempt its effect, there’s no need for the destiny clan to continue to wander Monster World as Equivalent Merchants.

After all, there are many rules in Monster World stronger than fate.

The result of this trade was that the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master suffered a backlash from fate rule, having his life strength continuously waning over time.

When this process will end, no one can predict.

The Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master lacks any example to reference.

To avoid death from backlash, it acquired the source region of this trade through negotiation.

Then went alone, hoping to regain its rightful trade chips through bargaining or even giving benefits.

This action made the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master’s subsequent behavior extremely eerie.

It convened a Heavenly Destiny Pavilion Conference as the Destiny Master, expressing having received a Destiny Revelation, hoping to relocate the entire clan to an unknown small world.

Regarding this request, other Destiny Masters chose to oppose.

Even the Great Destiny Master did not support such an absurd decision by the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master.

Believing the small world’s development couldn’t match Monster World.

Moreover, resource output in the small world is generally limited, unable to sustain the daily resource consumption of destiny clan members.

This small world might not even support a branch of the destiny clan.

Yet, respecting the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master’s decision and his mention of "Destiny Revelation," the Great Destiny Master allowed him to lead willing members to settle in the small world.

From there, the soul lamp of the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master extinguished.

The destiny trajectory ended here.

Thus, the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master’s life form likely transformed in that small world due to some opportunity.

Yet somehow, the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master returned to Monster World.

And those who followed him to the barren small world vanished without a trace, their soul fires extinguished as well.

Perhaps they too, like the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master, had a fateful encounter, achieving transcendence in life form.

Sorting out the destiny trajectory, the heart core within the Life Book thumped fiercely.

If he could become a Pure Body like the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master, with additional rule powers within.

It seems there’s nothing worth holding onto in this current body.

Being temporarily weak does not define anything.

Potential is the cornerstone of how far one can go in the future; the spark that breaks shackles; the measure of Monster World’s heavens and earth.

He is curious why during this encounter, the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master didn’t speak plainly?

The expressed content is ambiguous, making it hard to understand what it really means.

But upon reflection, the Life Book felt relieved.

The destiny clan always believes the destiny trajectory has its own order.

Every turn in destiny holds hidden clues about all things in the world.

Since the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master chose to guide himself this way rather than straightforwardly revealing, perhaps he follows some deeper destiny guidance.

Just like the ancient prophecies recorded by the clan, those mysteries revealed prematurely often distort into completely different forms in reality.

Once a destiny trajectory is forcefully exposed to sunlight, the chosen path can be scattered and might even backlash against the revealer.

Though the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master’s soul lamp is extinguished, it reappeared in a new form, which is a miracle defying conventions.

Such trajectories, destined not to be easily spoken, immediate explanations would invite unknown destiny corrections.

The Life Book now recalls the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master’s words: Following his destiny trajectory, one can find the opportunity to transcend life’s shackles.

Does this mean I should also follow the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master’s footsteps to the small world?

The idea of exploring the barren small world firmly rooted and quickly growing in his mind.

Impatiently, the Life Book took action immediately.

Consuming the rule power of destiny within, sketching the teleportation array beneath his feet.

Suddenly, rule energy spread across the sandy ground, pale silver array patterns moved like living creatures, quickly weaving into a ten-meter diameter teleportation array.

He decided to personally investigate.

But deep within, he remained somewhat anxious.

In his mind surged various insights shared by clan members through the spirit network.

For instance, some evil demons tempted clan members to step into prearranged traps for more power, leading to their refinement and becoming nourishment for the demon to enhance power through bloodline fusion.

Similar stories of harm achieving personal goals are not rare.

Perhaps those clan members who followed the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master to the small world have already been refined.

The Pure Body the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master now possesses was sculpted through a rule-level sacrificial method atop clan members’ bodies.

Might he also encounter similar fates?

These clan members’ insights, like poisoned grain, crowded the Life Book’s tightly heart.

Staring at the already forming teleportation rift.

The Life Book hesitated repeatedly, ultimately gritting teeth and leaping in.

Much later, the Life Book’s figure appeared above Trading City.

Upon arrival, he couldn’t help but frown,

"Damn it, the coordinates are wrong!"

Perceiving the Spiritual Energy content of this small world, an idea emerged in Life Book’s mind:

This world could not possibly nurture a "transcendent opportunity."

It’s entirely a stagnant world lacking Spiritual Energy, definitely not the small world the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master had visited.

He had mistaken the Void coordinates left by the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master.
