Chapter 1544: The Person Outside of Destiny!
Translated by: Hypersheep325

A dazzling light appeared in the eyes, and for a moment, Wang Chong felt like he was looking at a vast starry sky, not a pair of eyes.
!!!
Wang Chong’s body shuddered in shock.
The sight of the Origin Immortal Lord, now much younger and brimming with vitality, had delivered an unprecedented blow to Wang Chong’s mind. He couldn’t help but feel that all of this was not real.
The Origin Immortal Lord was still alive!
Wang Chong had never imagined that this creator of the Origin Immortal lineage and a mythical existence of the Central Plains who had lived more than one thousand years ago was still alive, and that he was right in front of him and looking at him.
Wang Chong felt like he was dreaming.
I have waited for you for a long time, Inheritor of Destiny!
The Origin Immortal Lord’s voice resounded in Wang Chong’s mind, surprisingly soft and genial. Those starry eyes also began to soften, exuding a sense of affection and intimacy that engendered no resentment.
Wang Chong said nothing. While his expression remained calm, his mind was tossing and turning.
Before this, the Origin Immortal Lord had just been a mythical figure from more than one thousand years ago. Wang Chong did not know him and was sure that he had never met him before. He had never imagined that this adventure would turn out like this.
The Origin Immortal Lord had only spoken two sentences, but Wang Chong felt like his presence here had been long foreseen.
You know me?
Wang Chong muttered in a daze.
Heh!
The Origin Immortal Lord shook his head.
I am just waiting for someone who, after one thousand years, will take this sword and appear before me. You are the first person to appear here, so you are naturally the one that I was waiting for.
The Origin Immortal Lord turned his warm eyes to the Origin Immortal Sword.
Wang Chong’s face froze. Destiny contained countless variables, but the Origin Immortal Lord was apparently certain that Wang Chong was the person he had been waiting for.
Senior says that I’m the Inheritor of Destiny, but what does that mean?
Wang Chong suddenly said, not wasting much time worrying about whether or not he was actually the person the Origin Immortal Lord was waiting for. He had far too many questions, so even if he wasn’t the person the Origin Immortal Lord was waiting for, he would still use this chance to ask a few questions.
Heh, this question is something that only you can answer.
The Origin Immortal Lord looked at the youth and chuckled.
Junior is foolish. Please, Senior, instruct me!
Wang Chong immediately bowed and asked for guidance.
Every sip and bite is preordained by destiny. Fortuitous beginnings and messy ends all have their reasons. If you still do not know, then it is naturally not the time yet. When the time comes, you will naturally understand,
the Origin Immortal Lord calmly said, making no attempt to explain.
Wang Chong decided to ask the simplest question of all.
Just where is this?
The Origin Immortal Palace!
The Origin Immortal Lord smiled.
Wang Chong was somewhat taken aback to have his conjecture verified. After traversing through that white world, he truly had entered the Origin Immortal Palace.
Outside, this junior encountered the first-generation successor and then the female chief of the Origin Immortal Villagers, and after that, I met Senior. Both Senior and the first-generation successor said that they were waiting for me, but this junior is merely a general in the court of the Great Tang, not even a member of the martial arts world. What is so special about this junior that makes this junior worth waiting for?
For what reason did Senior arrange all this? And one thousand years have passed, the heavens and earth shifting, dynasty replacing dynasty. Is Senior truly not afraid of waiting for the wrong person?
Wang Chong asked.
Everything the Origin Immortal Lord had said to Wang Chong had been too unreal. Waiting one thousand years for a person who had not even been born yet was simply too absurd, even if it involved a mythical figure like the Origin Immortal Lord.
The future contained far too many variables and was simply impossible to predict. No matter what the Origin Immortal Lord foresaw or calculated, this was still too unbelievable.
Heh!
The Origin Immortal Lord suddenly smiled.
You doubt yourself?
Yes!
Wang Chong firmly nodded.
Every thing in the world has its own destiny. Plant in the spring, grow in the summer, reap during the autumn, and store during the winter. These are not speculations, but laws. A single falling leaf can portend the coming of autumn, and a single ladle of clear water can tell if a river is turbid or pure. What you speak of as conjecture is simply nature to me.
The Origin Immortal Lord smirked at Wang Chong.
Wang Chong creased his brow.
Mu Zhen’s descendants have finished their mission and Yuan Feng has successfully realized his promise. Each person exists for a certain purpose, and whether you believe it or not, the moment you appeared here and stood before me, the wheels of destiny began to turn ,
the Origin Immortal Lord nonchalantly said. (AN: The descendants spoken of are the Origin Immortal Villagers. Yuan Feng is the first-generation successor.)
Wang Chong remained silent, the fogs of confusion growing thicker and thicker in his mind. He stared into the Origin Immortal Lord’s eyes, those eyes brimming with wisdom and seemingly able to pierce through spacetime and see all the secrets of the world.
Wang Chong was stunned, momentarily speechless.
For a moment, he felt like he was nothing more than an obstinate child in front of the omniscient Origin Immortal Lord.
After a long while, Wang Chong finally asked,
What was Senior waiting for?
A person who can change destiny!
the Origin Immortal Lord declared.
What destiny?
Wang Chong continued to question, his brow creasing even more.
A disaster, a crisis, a calamity that can turn everything in this world into dust! Only that person can change all of this!
The Origin Immortal Lord’s voice resounded like thunder in Wang Chong’s mind.
The word ‘calamity’ caused Wang Chong’s body to shudder as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stared at the Origin Immortal Lord.
…Everything in the world has a beginning and an end, a rise and a fall. When that calamity comes, no one in this world will be able to escape! Although I possess supreme abilities that allowed me to glimpse this crisis in the heavens, I am powerless to stop it. Anyone who is enclosed by the Great Dao, who dwells within destiny, cannot escape it and cannot change it.
Thus, starting from more than one thousand years ago, I began to wait for a person, someone outside of destiny! Only when he descends will this world have any hope, is there a chance of ending this destructive destiny! In that era, he will be the most unique person in the world. I will give this person all the guidance I can and all the assistance I can provide so that he can complete his mission… This is my mission!
The Origin Immortal Lord stared at Wang Chong with sharp eyes, his meaning clear. The Origin Immortal Lord was certain beyond doubt that Wang Chong was that person!
Bang!
Wang Chong’s body did not move, but his mind was reeling, great waves raging within.
Destiny!
A person outside destiny!
An indescribable feeling welled up within Wang Chong, but he quickly suppressed it.
This junior is a fool. What is this destiny?
Wang Chong cautiously probed.
But there was no answer from the Origin Immortal Lord. He profoundly glanced at Wang Chong, and before Wang Chong could react, a white finger extended and thrust at Wang Chong’s forehead.
Boom!
As the Origin Immortal Lord’s finger pressed down, Wang Chong’s mind was drawn into another world. The resplendent hall and the Origin Immortal Lord were gone, replaced by intense flames.
Wretched screams that made Wang Chong’s heart shudder filled his ears. In the flames, Wang Chong saw an old woman carrying a small child looking up at the sky in despair as she dropped to her knees.
As the old woman collapsed, the world spun and shifted once more. Wang Chong now saw an immense continent that was entirely awash in fire.
The Central Plains!
Wang Chong’s body trembled in recognition.
Crack! Boom!
The blackened continent suddenly split in half, plumes of dust and dark smoke rising into the sky. Wang Chong could only watch as the continent crumbled away.
The flames turned from blood-red to pitch-black.
Deep within the flames, Wang Chong heard the neighing of horses and saw countless black, demonic figures with chilling eyes. They stared at Wang Chong from a distance, their eyes suffused with the desire to destroy.
Buzz!
These scenes merged with the darkest and most painful of Wang Chong’s memories, and his heart began to thump in fear while his body turned ice-cold.
The destruction of the world…
The appearance of the otherworldly invaders…
Those blurry and inhuman figures were something that he would never forget no matter how many times he was reborn, and the sight of the burned and collapsing world would forever be branded into his mind.
Buzz!
At this moment, Wang Chong’s body erupted with an irrepressible killing intent and pain.
So you do know!
All the illusions vanished as the Origin Immortal Lord spoke once more. The Origin Immortal Lord gazed at Wang Chong’s disheveled hair, trembling shoulders, and crimson eyes, and he sighed.
