Chapter 740: Twisted Fate

Early the next morning, several Divine Domain Dragon Race members left Dragon Island simultaneously, heading toward one of the gathering points of the Sea Beast Demonized Royal Family.

"Lingyun, do you think this extermination operation will succeed?" Nia asked with some uncertainty, watching the dragons disappear into the horizon.

"Rest assured, the location of those Demonized Royal Families was prophesied by your Whispering Manuscript. Don't you have enough confidence in your own Angel?" Lingyun reached out and patted Nia's head.

"I, I don't lack confidence in my Angel, but it was you, not me, who caused my Angel to undergo such a change!" Nia said, lacking confidence.

"Even if I am the one who caused the Whispering Manuscript to change, it is still your Angel. You must have confidence in your own Angel!" Lingyun said with a smile. "Besides, Luweisi is not putting all his eggs in one basket; this time he only chose one of the gathering points of the Sea Beast Demonized Royal Family. If we can really exterminate those Demonized Royal Families, the subsequent matters will be much easier."

"Oh, oh." Nia nodded, appearing to understand but not quite.

It was not until evening that those Divine Domain Dragon Race members who had set out appeared on the horizon again. Although they were all wounded, their faces held irrepressible joy.

"It seems the decapitation tactic was a success," Lingyun said, looking at the returning dragons. "The time for us to return to the Continent can be drastically shortened!"

Hearing Lingyun's words, Nia leaned on Lingyun's shoulder and let out a soft breath.

With the experience of the first success, the Dragon Race's mobility was fully mobilized. At this moment, Nia finally witnessed how terrifying the Dragon Race from fantasy novels could be when they exerted their full strength.

Under the long-term erosion of the Demon Qi within the Water Holy Sword, there were no small number of Sea Beast Royal Families in the Endless Ocean eroded by Demon Qi. However, within just a few days, the Dragon Race completely slaughtered the vast majority of the Sea Beast Demonized Royal Families.

"Lingyun, is this the combat power of the Dragon Race?" Nia looked at Lingyun and asked, somewhat shocked.

According to her statistics, the number of Divine Domain Dragon Race members who had taken action during this period actually exceeded one hundred. This meant that on Dragon Island, there were at the very least one hundred dragons who had stepped into the Divine Domain, which already exceeded the number of Divine Domain entities she had seen on the surface of the Continent.

"That's right, this is the combat power of the Dragon Race," Lingyun nodded. "The number one strongest race beneath the God and Demon races is no joke. Even the Spirit race cannot compare to the Dragon Race in terms of Divine Domain combat power!"

"However, the battle is basically coming to an end here, right?" Chen Jing said.

"That's right. Based on the current situation, in another two or three days, the matters here on Dragon Island can be concluded, and we will be able to return to the Continent," Lingyun said. "I wonder how the investigation results are on Andiya's side. If there are results, then it's time to settle the accounts properly!"

In a deep, dark cave, two people sat facing each other.

"The trajectory of fate has been twisted! The current fate is no longer under my control!" a person whose body was shrouded in a black robe said slowly.

"Fate has been twisted? This, how is this possible?" the person sitting opposite him suddenly roared. "I spent such a great price to protect you back then, just for this day. Didn't you tell me before that fate was all under your control? How can you say it's not under your control now?"

The person shrouded in the black robe was the last Fate Mage in this world. During the Millennium Holy War, when all the Fate Mages joined forces to determine the fate of the Demon World Lord's defeat for the survival of the Continent, he, as one of the most talented Fate Mages at that time, chose to become a deserter. It was precisely because of this that when the backlash of fate arrived, he luckily escaped a disaster and was saved by the person in front of him.

But as the price, he could only exist as this person's shadow forever, unable to be liberated for eternity. After the Millennium Holy War, it was precisely because he provided strategies for the person in the cave that the person's plan could move toward success step by step.

Decades ago, he even foresaw the existence of the Fate Child of this world—Daiweina—and from it, glimpsed the opportunity to be resurrected by borrowing the body of the Demon World Lord, and thus laid out a grand scheme. If his plan could succeed, then the future of the world would be controlled by his master, and he could also use this to appear under the sunlight openly once again. But now, the fate he glimpsed had been completely twisted.

"In the fate I see now, the demonized Sea Beast Royal Families have already been exterminated by the Dragon Race, and that little Princess of the Dragon Race will be able to return to the Continent in no time," the black-robed person said. "The plan we originally wanted to use those sea beasts to delay her pace while simultaneously dealing a devastating blow to the Dragon Race has already failed. The only thing worth rejoicing about is that no Sacred Sword has fallen into her hands yet."

In the original trajectory of fate, the first Sacred Sword Daiweina obtained was the Water Holy Sword. And in this, the Dragon Race provided her with huge assistance. It was precisely after possessing this Sacred Sword that Daiweina embarked on a life of 'cheating'. In the end, she even collected all six Sacred Swords, killed her master who had reappeared on the Continent by borrowing the body of the Demon World Lord, and became the strongest person on the Continent.

It was precisely because of this that these two spent a large amount of power on the Water Holy Sword, causing the number of demonized Sea Beast Royal Families to increase greatly, bringing immense crisis to the Dragon Race. In the end, they even awakened the ancient relic, the Sea Devourer, and snatched away the Water Holy Sword. Otherwise, how could mere sea beasts eroded by Demon Qi pose a threat to the Dragon Race?

In the fate trajectory they originally fabricated, the final battle was the Sea Devourer attacking Dragon Island after devouring part of the power of the Water Holy Sword. Although Dragon Island successfully killed the Sea Devourer in the end, the Golden Dragon King Luweisi fell in the battle, the top combat power of the entire Dragon Island was almost wiped out, and the Dragon Race was on the verge of extinction. But now, the trajectory of fate had deviated; Lingyun's arrival caused the fate of this world to head completely in an unknown direction. And the changes Lingyun brought to this world were something even the last Fate Mage in this world could not see through.

"Damn it, when did this change appear?" The person in the darkness directly shattered the stone table in front of him with a palm.

"It was when the Elf Ancient Tree ascended to the Eternal Ancient Tree!" the black-robed person said.

"Don't tell me that even now you cannot see what reason caused the Elf Ancient Tree to ascend to the Eternal Ancient Tree in such a short time?"

"There is no way," the black-robed person shook his head with a bitter smile. "That unknown reason is an existence that twisted the fate of the entire world. If it were the legendary creator of the Fate Mages, or the legendary Fate God, perhaps they could find that existence. Now I am just a small Fate Mage, how could I possibly find that reason."

"Damn it, damn it, everything was clearly in the plan, how could it become like this now." The tone of the person in the darkness was full of unwillingness. "No, I cannot sit and wait for death. Now that the trajectory of fate is in chaos, we must also take action!"

Watching the figure disappear into the darkness again, the black-robed person sighed slightly, lowered his head, and did not know what he was thinking.
