Chapter 466: Fate Struggle Secret Art

"I have... done my best."

"Really can't beat it."

Feeling the eruption secret art in his body beginning to dry up, Fang Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The so-called "eruption secret art" is not a tree without roots or water without a source.

It is burning a large amount of low-level magic power to turn it into high-level magic power!

In this way, there must be a problem with endurance!

Even so, there was still a huge gap between Fang Xing and the Creator.

Being able to hold on until now was already the result of his resourcefulness, extraordinary means, and the Creator's poor state.

"It's time!"

Fang Xing glanced at the attribute panel:

【True Self Law: Master → Grandmaster!】

Every moment he survived, he was in a "Dao Struggle," bearing more empowerment from the Creator.

By this time, the True Self Law had instead overtaken others, reaching the fifth layer of laws—Grandmaster level!

'It's a pity... if I could hold on for a while longer, I might have ascended to Heavenly Immortal with the "True Self Law"!'

'By then, with the power of the "Pan Wu Grand Ceremony," who wins and who loses would really be uncertain!'

The "Pan Wu Grand Ceremony" takes the Pan Wu Great Dao as its highest pursuit, and the "True Self Law" is the most important component of the Pan Wu Great Dao!

But at this moment, accompanied by the opening of eyes in the Creator's palms, Fang Xing had nowhere to hide and could no longer delay!

"Fortunately, the True Self Law is already strong enough... let's begin."

Fang Xing formed seals with both hands, performing a secret art from the "Pan Wu Grand Ceremony."

Pan Gu Wu is, after all, an Eternal Realm existence beyond the Chaos Realm.

The "Pan Wu Grand Ceremony" records infinite secret arts, among which there are several that are very suitable for "Dao Struggle" situations.

But even so, if the "True Self Law" had not been cultivated to a certain realm, it would be impossible to master the secret art.

Fang Xing had encountered such a bottleneck when simulating the secret art with the attribute panel before.

Fortunately, after the True Self Law broke through to the fifth layer, everything fell into place!

In an instant!

Fang Xing felt everything about himself connected to an indescribable existence through a connection beyond causality.

That is the "Creator," and the bond in between is the "Dao Struggle"!

"No!!!"

The Creator finally let out its first roar, feeling that things were completely out of its control.

Then...

The entire universe seemed to be frozen in an instant.

All evil god dependents, the Blue Star Federation border army, infinite extraterrestrial alien races... including Blue Star, Nie Ying, Nangong Xue, Duan Hai, Jian Qiu, and the three Elders.

Even, including the Creator and Fang Xing!

All seemed to have turned into sculptures.

Originally, in the next instant, Fang Xing, who was stared at by the Creator's countless eyes, would have been dead without a doubt.

But this instant was infinitely frozen, difficult to truly arrive!

The entire universe was silent, even returning to chaos, with infinite changes seemingly happening inside...

"Come on!"

Fang Xing's eyes couldn't turn, only his martial will could barely operate: "What is a Dao Struggle? Come on... bet everything you and I have, and let's gamble another round!"

The secret art in the "Pan Wu Grand Ceremony" is called "Fate Struggle"!

Its only function is to amplify the "Dao Struggle"!

Both sides invest everything, in a re-evolved world, to carry out a struggle, the final winner gains everything, and the loser has nothing.

Fang Xing also dared to gamble with the Creator because he still had the True Spirit Talisman as a backup, and the golden finger on his body!

Anyway, he had been forced into a desperate situation, so all changes, good or bad, were hope!

As for the freezing of the universe, and even re-evolution?

Naturally, it was to open a casino again—no, a brand-new world.

As for restarting the universe?

This is not Fang Xing's ability, but the Creator's ability!

After the Creator awakens, all living beings in the original universe will face a catastrophe because the Creator has the ability to restart the universe.

But at this moment, it was forced by Fang Xing to restart.

Once Fang Xing finally wins, everything he cherishes will naturally return.

If he loses, then everything is off the table!

"Fate Struggle Secret Art... so this is the feeling?"

"It's quite similar to the Gate of Heavens' crossing..."

Fang Xing was also performing the "Fate Struggle Secret Art" for the first time, feeling very novel.

"A brand-new space-time, a brand-new world... both sides invest in it, reincarnate, and struggle again... if the luck is too bad, it's even possible that memories will be obscured?"

He keenly sensed that the Creator was worthy of being a peak Heavenly Immortal existence; even if it was temporarily at a disadvantage, it was adjusting rapidly.

In that evolved space-time, who knows how many private goods it had mixed in.

There was no other way.

Not to mention restarting the universe, it mainly relied on the Creator's power.

If the Fate Struggle was not carried out, Fang Xing's Dao Struggle would have already been a crushing defeat.

The so-called "Fate Struggle Secret Art" actually just forces both sides to the gambling table to carry out a so-called fair duel.

But one side has many chips, and one side has few chips, which is something that can't be helped.

Regarding this, Fang Xing had long been prepared.

The side that really has many chips is actually him!

After all, not to mention the "True Spirit Talisman," he still has the attribute panel as a golden finger! It's impossible to flip over on a mere peak Heavenly Immortal!

... Whoosh!

In the azure sky, a flying vehicle swept past the white clouds.

Fang Xing lowered his head and inserted a coin into his gas meter.

Looking at the buildings with crisscrossing pipes, he didn't know why, but a strong sense of incongruity arose in his heart.

'Why do households still use gas as energy in an era where flying vehicles exist?'

The teenager was somewhat confused.

He looked about sixteen years old, with brown eyes, pitch-black hair, and was a university student in "Black Ring City."

Black Ring City was built on the ruins of the ancient mechanical capital—"Heiting Si." It is said that there is ancient heritage of Heiting Si underground, with steam pipes spread across the entire land!

After paying the gas bill, Fang Xing turned on the gas lamp, letting the bright light illuminate the narrow, closed, and dim room.

Even during the day, there was a lack of light inside the buildings in the lower city of Black Ring City.

With the bright light of the gas lamp, Fang Xing pulled open the mahogany table, took out a piece of parchment, and prepared to write a letter home.

He had a happy family, his parents were still alive, his older brother and sister were both working, and he had a younger sister.

It's just that they all lived and worked in their hometown "Cuiting City," and only Fang Xing, because he had excellent academic performance since childhood and was a true genius, was specially recruited by the "Black Ring City Private Mechanical Academy" to study mechanical engineering, and even had a full scholarship.

"Dear sister..."

Fang Xing filled his fountain pen with ink and began to write the letter.

In the ink bottle next to him, there was also a quill pen stuck in it.

Since coming to Black Ring City, he had taken a liking to the fountain pens here, and really couldn't stand quill pens.

Although, when using a quill pen to write some beautified fonts, it did look elegant and good-looking.

But for a university student with heavy coursework, the most important thing is efficiency, efficiency, and damn it, efficiency!

Amidst the rustling sound, Fang Xing's pen tip continued.

"... The environment in Black Ring City is very good, especially the various strange mechanical creations, which possess an indescribable beauty; this is the beauty of machinery... My hard study has been recognized by the mentor 'Monachi'... He gave me a truly profound textbook, which I am still painstakingly trying to enter..."

"Also, don't send me living expenses anymore, my scholarship is enough... Your archaeology team is said to be on the verge of bankruptcy, you should consider yourself more..."

After writing the letter, Fang Xing picked up a copper candlestick next to him, along with an iron spoon, lit a candle, and roasted the sealing wax.

After the sealing wax melted, he poured the sealing wax on the sealed position of the packed envelope, and took out his own seal and stamped it on.

After doing all this, Fang Xing prepared to mail the letter tomorrow and prepare dinner for himself first.

The staple food was a rye bread, the hardness of which could compete with a baguette, which was a difficult test for his teeth.

"Wait... what is a baguette?"

He rubbed his eyebrows, always feeling that his wild thoughts had been increasing lately.

But it was precisely this kind of "whimsical idea" that was considered by the mentor of the Mechanical Academy to have unique creative talent, and thus he was specially admitted.

Dinner was bread with vegetable soup; by comparison, Fang Xing still preferred seafood fried rice.

It's just a pity that Black Ring City is inland, and rice and seafood are quite expensive.

After finishing dinner, he turned on the gas lamp and began to study.

"Mechanical Materials Science, Conduction Mechanics, Steam Science..."

"It's really hard to graduate... but, as long as I graduate successfully, I can become a mechanical engineer and get a well-paying job in many companies and government departments..."

Fang Xing murmured, preparing to study late into the night.

After opening the thick book given by the mentor, he rubbed his eyes, feeling a bit strange.

In his line of sight, there seemed to be overlapping images appearing, with inexplicable runes flickering.

It was as if... they were directly branded on his retina.

"What is a retina?"

"Could it be that something is wrong with my eyes? I have to see a doctor tomorrow..."

Fang Xing muttered, rubbed his eyes again, and prepared to get up to make himself a cup of hot cocoa.

But this time, those runes did not dissipate, but became more and more obvious as time passed.

Even... he could vaguely "read" their meaning:

【Name: Fang Xing】

【Age: 16 (114)】

【Profession: Immortal Martial Artist??? Star Martial Artist???】

"What is this? I'm 114 years old?"

"And the profession, I'm clearly a university student..."

Fang Xing complained, and suddenly, intense pain erupted from his temples!

Surging memories were like a flood, instantly drowning the worldview he had cultivated for more than a decade...

Whew!

The room was silent, with only heavy breathing sounds.

After a long time.

Fang Xing climbed up: "It took so long to break the mystery of the womb? I have the 'True Spirit Talisman' to guard my true spirit, and the golden finger of the attribute panel to cheat... and I awakened so late, hehe, the Creator is probably even more miserable than me..."

He finally remembered that he was in a "Fate Struggle" with the Creator!

Fang Xing opened the window, looked at the hazy moonlight outside, and the enchanting moon in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "The world..."
