Wang Baole was not the only one who had this thought. In fact, among the many light spots, three of the other eight Heaven's Favorites who had gained a lot from resonating with the laws of nature had also noticed that this opportunity was about to come to an end. They all set their sights on the source of all the laws of nature … the 91 light sources!
These 91 light sources, whether it was the 89 on the outside or the one in the center, were as vast as the universe itself. The laws of nature within them were extremely majestic, and they were earth-shattering.
However … if they were compared to the light source that belonged to the Heavenly Spell Lord in the center, they could only be called stars in the night sky. Only the light source that belonged to the Heavenly Spell Lord was like the bright moon and the blazing sun. If one looked closely, they would see that within the light source that belonged to the Heavenly Spell Lord, there was a … book!
They could not see the details clearly, only the outline. However, the moment they saw the book, Wang Baole and the others instantly understood that it was … the Book of Destiny!
An instinctive attraction that seemed to come from the depths of their souls caused everyone, including Wang Baole, to have a strong urge to open the book the moment they saw it. However, it was only a thought, because an even stronger sense of danger was continuously spreading out from the light source that belonged to the Heavenly Spell Lord. Everyone who wanted to get close to the light source had to give up on that idea.
I'm not allowed because I don't have the right … Wang Baole pondered. After that, he retracted his Divine Sense that had been looking at the Heavenly Dharma Lord's light source. After sweeping past the other light sources beside and in the periphery, his Divine Sense instantly locked onto a ball of light.
This light source contained the earth-shattering laws of nature of fire. To some extent, it was close to the laws of nature. This made Wang Baole's heart tremble, and the light spot that he turned into also flew forward, heading straight for the light source.
At the same time, the light spots that belonged to the other three Heaven's Favorites also rapidly approached the light source that they had chosen. As the four of them approached, they could sense each other's identities!
One of them was Xu Yinling!
The other one was Divine Emperor Jiga's ninth disciple, Ling Lan!
The last person was not the reincarnated Chen Han of the Seven Spirits Path, but rather … the seventh Dao Child of the Nine States Path, the number one sect in the Heterodox Sacred Domain. He was not handsome, and in fact, looked very ordinary. However, his eyes were very special. They had no pupils, and were completely black.
Together with Wang Baole, the four of them turned into light spots at lightning speed. In an instant, they flew to the light source of their choice. There, they unleashed all of their potential and crazily absorbed the power of the natural order.
The dot of light that Wang Baole had turned into shuddered violently. Even his body, which was sitting cross-legged on the Raptor, was shaking violently. In his mind, as he absorbed the Law of Fire, it was like heavenly fire that kept falling on his body and slowly drowning him.
As it drowned him, a sense of deadly crisis rose in Wang Baole's mind. The surrounding flames were hotter than anything Wang Baole had ever encountered. Even the Inferno Star System was not as hot as this.
However, the benefits were obvious as well. His resonance with the flames instantly soared from sixty percent to seventy percent. If he continued to persevere, the resonance would continue to soar. However, at this point, Wang Baole could no longer bear it. He was very clear that he had reached his limit. If he didn't return now, his Divine Soul would be destroyed by the flames.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Not only him, but the other three were also at their limits. At this moment, they all retreated, preparing to leave. Wang Baole did not hesitate. He turned into a dot of light and was about to retreat ….
But at this moment, an old voice suddenly rang out in Wang Baole's ears!
"Do you know what fire is?"
The words echoed in Wang Baole's mind. It seemed that there was no need for him to answer. The moment the words left his mouth, the voice continued.
"I'll give you a chance to see the essence of fire …."
As the voice echoed out, the boundless sea of Heavenly Fire that filled Wang Baole's mind suddenly turned translucent. Then, it turned completely transparent, as if it had vanished!
"This …." Wang Baole's eyes went wide.
However, after the sea of flames vanished, the sense of crisis caused by the heat grew exponentially stronger. It exploded in Wang Baole's mind, and his resonance with the flames reached eighty percent …. This was the limit of the Ancient Star. However, with the support of Wang Baole's Dao Star, the resonance continued to climb.
In an instant, it reached ninety percent before stopping. A powerful force then appeared and blasted Wang Baole's Divine Sense out of the colorless sea of fire. From the outside, it looked like Wang Baole had turned into a dot of light that was suddenly swept backwards. It flickered between bright and dim, as if it was on the verge of collapse, and it was rapidly distancing itself from the source of light.
At the same time, the voice from moments ago echoed out in his Divine Sense.
"When a stone falls into the water, it sets off ripples. Fire … is nothing more than a ripple. It's just an appearance. What are you looking for? Is it the water's surface, or the stone? Or is it something deeper?"
The appearance of the voice caused Wang Baole's mind to fill with intense rumbling sounds. This perspective, this level of understanding, was something that he had never experienced before!
Just as Wang Baole was overwhelmed with shock, the spot of light that he had transformed into retreated rapidly. He wasn't the only one; the other three spots of light did the same. It was as if they had all heard the same sound and felt the same shock as he had felt when they were near their respective light sources.
At the same time, as the four of them turned into specks of light, all the tendrils of natural law within the area instantly returned and merged into their respective light sources. This strange world of perception also seemed to close, and disappeared.
The instant they disappeared, the people on the thirty-nine raptors shuddered and opened their eyes. Four of them coughed up large mouthfuls of blood and staggered back a few steps. Their faces were pale.
Wang Baole was one of them!
"The natural law of fire!" After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Wang Baole lifted his head abruptly and stared at the projections of the mighty figures within the glowing sphere. He couldn't tell which one he had come into contact with just now. However, the other party didn't seem to be communicating with him. It was more like a fixed transmission.
Before Wang Baole could suppress the shock, the Dao discussion in the glowing sphere was over. The voice of Lord Heaven-Dharma once again echoed out in all directions.
"Young friends, you have all come to offer your blessings to me. How much of the Dao motes just now will depend on your own luck."
The voice seemed to contain a soothing power, and as soon as it entered everyone's ears, the ripples in their hearts began to melt. Wang Baole's injuries to his divine sense were completely healed. At the same time, some of the more quick-witted people clasped hands and expressed their thanks.
"Many thanks, Lord Heaven-Dharma!"
"This enlightenment was all thanks to the workings of Heaven. Many thanks, Lord Heaven-Dharma!"
"Lord Heaven-Dharma, your heart is as broad as the starry sky. You have guided us juniors, and we will never forget your kindness!"
As they expressed their thanks, Wang Baole took a deep breath, clasped hands, and bowed. Then, one by one, they presented the birthday gifts they had prepared. Wang Baole's birthday gifts were all prepared by Xie Haiyang. After they were presented, beautiful music could be heard, and countless illusory figures appeared in the sky. As they danced, ancient music echoed out.
The music was filled with an auspicious will, and as it spread out in all directions, a Longevity Peach formed from countless musical notes appeared in front of everyone. It transformed from illusory to corporeal, causing everyone's faces to fill with shock. Clearly, they were completely shaken by this bizarre divine ability.
It was the same for Wang Baole. His trip to the Heavenly Fate Planet had been filled with too many surprises, too many mysteries, and too much vastness. It had opened up a whole new world for him in terms of knowledge and experience.
As the Longevity Peach materialized, and the music continued to play, Lord Heaven-Dharma said something to his old servant. Then, the stooped old man nodded and stepped forward. With a single step, he was outside of the glowing sphere. Looking around, he spoke in a warm voice.
"The cycle of the Dao of Heaven is merely a change in authority between the old and the new. It is not the beginning or the end of an epoch. Therefore, both the Underworld Sect of the past and the Never-Ending Sect of today only exist in this epoch.
"Before this epoch, there were at least eighty-nine epochs in existence. As for the exact number, Lord Heaven-Dharma is not certain.
"However, what is certain is that some of our souls were born in the new epoch, while others … existed in the previous epoch. This phenomenon is known as … past lives!
"The more Chosen one is, the more likely it is that they have a past life. Therefore, Lord Heaven-Dharma has decided … that during this birthday feast, all of you will have the opportunity to gain enlightenment regarding past lives. Ten days, ten lives!
"In the end, the person who gains enlightenment regarding the tenth life will be qualified to open the Book of Destiny!
"If no one is qualified, then no one is. If all of you are qualified, then all of you are qualified!"
