However, it seems because his fishing frequency is too high, he feels that lately the number of aerial encounters has been increasing; nearby evil creatures hardly bite the hook, and even if they do, they're just tiny shrimp, not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Nowadays, aside from training his blade techniques each day, he spends the rest of his time using the Void Fishing method to fish for evil entities from the void, tempering his will; he estimates that another three months of world refinement might raise his perception attribute again.

"If this is Yun Chang's true intention, then fine; but the key is that Yun Chang himself is also swept up in it, and incense faith is ultimately a form of will—Yun Chang used incense to become the Heavenly Court Emperor, which originally wasn't a bad thing!"

Translation: "If this were Yun Chang's true intention, it would be fine, but the key is that Yun Chang himself was also swept up; incense faith is ultimately a will, and Yun Chang used incense to become the Heavenly Court's emperor lord, which originally wasn't a bad thing!"

"But the problem also lies here—excess is as bad as deficiency; incense inherently carries the people's prayers and will, ordinary incense mostly blesses one's own family, yet for the younger brother..."

Translation: "But the problem also lies here; excess is as bad as deficiency, incense originally carries the people's prayers and will, ordinary incense mostly prays for family blessings, yet with Second Brother..."

"If it were just ordinary minor world history, given Yun Chang's current strength and status, it would be trivial."

Translation: "If it were just ordinary small-world history, given Yun Chang's current strength and status, it would be nothing much."

Mu Yi blinked repeatedly; even with so many great gods in the Heavenly Court, even the Holy Emperor Guan probably couldn't stir up much of a wave.

Translation: Mu Yi blinked repeatedly; with so many deities in the Heavenly Court, even Guan Sheng Dijun probably couldn't stir up any major waves.

Liu Bei seemed to see what Mu Yi was thinking, and sighed.

Translation: Liu Bei seemed to see what Mu Yi was thinking, and sighed.

"If the situation gets out of hand, the younger brother could fall into demonhood, affecting many Kyushu worlds; in the worst case, even his divine soul might be destroyed."

Translation: "If the situation gets out of control, Second Brother could fall into demonhood, affecting many Jiuzhou worlds; in the worst case, even his divine soul might be destroyed."

"I tell you these things today out of my own selfishness as an elder brother, and also as a commission from the Heavenly Court."

Translation: "I tell you these things today, both as my personal desire as the elder brother, and as a commission from the Heavenly Court."

"Even the Great Heavenly Venerable does not wish to see the younger brother go astray into demonhood, so he specially sought a great world for the younger brother to undergo his tribulation."

Translation: "Even the Grand Heavenly Venerable doesn't want to see Second Brother go berserk, so he specially found a great world for Second Brother to undergo his tribulation."

"This is Second Brother's tribulation; if he overcomes it, the Heavenly Court will gain a true Emperor, but if he fails, the Emperor's throne will be stripped, and then Second Brother will also be freed from it."

"But..." Liu Bei said, and fell into silence.

Mu Yi also fell silent; even he could hear the trouble behind it. In a vast world, the number of Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities involved is countless, and they are letting Guan Er Ye successfully reverse time. When that happens, the entire world's structure will be completely overturned and reshuffled.

"Second brother has already failed seven times; even with our covert assistance, we are powerless to turn the tide. The resistance is simply too great."

Liu Bei was also helpless; this matter is essentially Guan Yu's tribulation, and the Heavenly Court gods cannot be blamed.

After all, the Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities in that world are also their avatars, part of their composition, and some are even simply their junior disciples; the Jiuzhou divine offices are each a separate issue.

When that time comes, if Guan Yu defies Heaven successfully, the entire world will be rebuilt from scratch...

If luck is on their side, they can be reinstated and everyone will rejoice; but if luck is poor, the late Eastern Han era, already nearing the chaotic Five Barbarians period, could cause the entire great world to collapse outright.

Then the Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities of this vast world would have nowhere to weep, and some might even vanish into oblivion.

For the Heavenly Court, the value of a single Emperor is indeed worth a gamble.

But for them, they have no desire to gamble at all, so they strive desperately to stop Guan Yu from crossing the tribulation.

Feeding meat to eagles—these Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities can do that, but destroying a family or annihilating a clan is beyond anyone's ability.

Moreover, Guan Yu's failure does not mean death, which makes some Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities feel justified in their obstruction, and also prevents the Heavenly Court from intervening; most people can only watch from the sidelines—both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, and any action seems wrong.

In the end, this is how the current situation arose.

The last time he gathered everyone who could help Guan Yu, it also ended in failure.

"I tell you this in advance so you can be warned, so you won't be pulled into the abyss by Yun Chang. However, you must not tell Yun Chang any of this. Do you understand?"

Although Liu Bei showed no outward aura, Mu Yi still felt the heavy pressure.

"I understand!"

"If possible... I actually hope you can succeed!"

Liu Bei's face also showed a sincere expectation; he couldn't blame those people, but Guan Yu is his own second brother, so he naturally hopes his own second brother can successfully cross the tribulation.

"I've heard about you from Kong Ming, so I can understand why second brother places his hope in you..."

Speaking that, Liu Bei lifted his head and looked toward the collapsing Peach Garden.

"Alas, forced intervention cannot last!"

As he spoke, Liu Bei poked his finger into Mu Yi's forehead.

"I hope you can truly break all this! It's what you deserve!"

When Mu Yi returned to Kunlun Mountain, he helplessly scratched his head and received a heavy Legend quest radiating brilliant golden light.

But Mu Yi now has so many lice he doesn't mind the itch; he quickly brushed it aside, since any quest, improving his own strength is the most important gain.

"You have obtained the essence of Liu Bei's sword technique; your specialization 【Sword Mastery】 has increased."

"You have gained the specialization 【Two-Handed Weapons】."

【Two-Handed Weapons】: Through long-term training and combat, you can now skillfully wield two weapons simultaneously, using the technique of dual weapons in offense and defense, making your attacks and defenses more refined.

Mu Yi glanced at his specialization description, then drew a battle sword and a spear and waved them; both hands were equally dexterous, allowing him to swing the two weapons freely.

However, due to weapon specialization, the spear feels clumsy even when wielded with the right hand, whereas the left-hand battle sword moves smoothly.

"Hmm, so I should go get a sword?"

Mu Yi gave a sharp glance at his 【Sword Mastery】 specialization, determined not to waste it.

He tossed the weapons back into his backpack, sat cross-legged, and began void fishing.

The metamorphosis of the Six Paths' reincarnation occurs from day to night, and at such times he can only honestly engage in self‑refinement.

After all, the Six Paths barrier is now his most powerful trump card.

The fishing result was disheartening; only one or two tiny shrimp bit. Mu Yi casually struck two bolts of lightning to vaporize them, then used his consciousness to open the Zongwang Panel.

Although fishing is more about training willpower, the problem is the old empty army, which is a bit frustrating.

Bored, Mu Yi began browsing the event information given by Princess Liliana Brenda; not knowing until he looked, he was startled.

This thing actually has not only a Mortal group, a Transcendent group, and a Legend group, but also a Divine group; normally activities cap at Transcendent, and only a few large events reach the Legend group.

And this Wheel of Fate event even has a Divine group, which greatly surprised Mu Yi.

Come to think of it, Mu Yi suddenly remembered he hasn't looked at the event rewards yet; he only knows that Lilyanna wants a magic book among the rewards.

If you don't lock in a target first, and someone else snatches it during redemption, that would be troublesome.

The rewards at the front were all things closely tied to fate; Mu Yi rummaged for a long time and found a reward he could not possibly refuse.

1445. War Base

Type: Special Building

Effect: After activation, a special building can be erected in a designated space; the building can be adjusted according to the user's lineage and can recruit followers by spending Zongwang Disaster Coins.

The moment Mu Yi saw this thing, his eyes couldn't look away; wasn't this a violent‑soldier machine tailor‑made for him? With it, he might even construct the Mortal Path directly.

Others have to consider placement, but he could just set it inside a barrier—how wonderful, a portable violent‑soldier base.

Could this also be fate?

Is the Wheel of Fate this ominous?

Can everyone find here the thing they desire?

Anyway, he's decided on this thing!
