"What's the condition?" Hong Dingfang chuckled. "Please let me keep it a secret for a while. When I leave the Celestial Realm, I'll naturally make it public." Then, he patted Ye Kong's shoulder. "But I can tell you that you'll have a great advantage. I have faith in you."
Though Hong Dingfang didn't tell him the condition of becoming the Celestial Master, he did reveal that Ye Kong would have a great advantage, so Ye Kong didn't ask further.
The two chatted for a while, and then they talked about the Loose Cultivator of Five Elements.
Hong Dingfang said, "Actually, the Five Elemental Loose Cultivator got to know my second brother first. I didn't have much contact with him. But in the end, I valued him the most. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ascended to the Divine World so quickly. It's a pity that he offended someone up there …"
Ye Kong was curious, so he asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time.
"Uncle Hong, why do you seem to treat me and the Loose Cultivator so well? Just like how I'm just a nobody in the Azure Star. Why did you think so highly of me and let me take over your job? Is there really something special about me? "
Hong Dingfang smiled faintly, giving Ye Kong an answer that he had not even thought of beforehand.
"Because you're the Chosen One!"
Ye Kong was shocked. Though being the Chosen One wasn't a secret, it was definitely not a good thing if someone else knew about it. But he didn't expect that Uncle Hong would know about such a secret, and that both Ye Kong and the Loose Cultivator were the Chosen One.
But Uncle Hong's next words shocked Ye Kong even more.
"Because I'm also the Chosen One!"
When Uncle Hong said this, Ye Kong was completely stunned. An inexplicable fear welled up in his heart. Ye Kong didn't understand what the Chosen One's destiny was, but he vaguely understood that the relationship between the Chosen One wasn't one of cooperation, but one of competition!
Moreover, Ye Kong vaguely felt that the Chosen One had an unusual relationship with his mysterious Godhead. If Uncle Hong was the Chosen One, it meant that Uncle Hong could very well kill him and take his Godhead!
Ye Kong involuntarily took a step back.
Uncle Hong was speaking excitedly, so he didn't notice it at all. He said, "We, the ones with the mandate of destiny, should unite. Don't believe in fate, but believe in our own fate! So we have to help each other! Don't care about destiny, walk your own path! I, a person of destiny from the world of magic and Dou Qi, have never believed in destiny, but haven't I achieved what I have today! "
Ye Kong felt relieved. No wonder Uncle Hong didn't explore the godhoods left behind by the Wanderer of Five Elements. It turned out that Uncle Hong's way of thinking was different from others.
Ye Kong and the others wanted to fulfill their destiny as soon as possible. It would be best if they could return to Earth. However, Uncle Hong did the exact opposite. Heaven's will told him to go east, but he insisted on going west … Going by this logic, even if Ye Kong gave him the godhood left behind by Five Elements Wanderer, he would not accept it.
Of course, this was just a saying. Ye Kong would definitely not be stupid enough to take out the Godhood.
"Then, what exactly is the Mandate of Heaven?" Ye Kong probed.
Uncle Hong waved his hand. "I don't know. I don't want to know either. Anyway, since I came to this world, I have to live in my own way! I won't be manipulated by some bullsh * t destiny! Just like how I reincarnated into the body of a bastard called Hong Dingfang, who was actually a great general under the previous Celestial Master. But I didn't believe it, I had to rebel against him and become the Celestial Master myself! "
Only then did Ye Kong know that Uncle Hong had also taken over a body. However, he was lucky to have taken over a great general of the Celestial World, while he had taken over an idiot. Aiya, comparisons were really odious.
However, Ye Kong thought of another thing. This thought made Ye Kong shudder.
First of all, Uncle Hong didn't know what destiny was, so even though he said he wanted to go against it, the truth was that he was moving forward according to the path of destiny! It was just that he didn't know.
Secondly, Uncle Hong rebelled against the original bastard Celestial Master and became the Celestial Master himself. Uncle Hong thought that he was deliberately going against destiny, but in fact, from Ye Kong's point of view, this was in line with the needs of destiny!
If one day, Uncle Hong suddenly realized that he couldn't escape destiny, that he was being pushed higher and higher by destiny, or that he had an intersection with Ye Kong's destiny, would Uncle Hong mercilessly attack Ye Kong?
He didn't know, he didn't know any of this. Facing the powerful Uncle Hong, Ye Kong could only take one step at a time. At least for now, Uncle Hong hadn't figured out the crux of the matter.
Seeing that Ye Kong was silent, Uncle Hong thought that Ye Kong didn't believe that he was the one with destiny, so he laughed and said, "Then I'll show you a little magic. Actually, I was just a small magic apprentice in the Gardes Continent. I don't know how I came to this cultivation world, but it's really unbelievable. But unfortunately, my magic level is too low, otherwise I can run amok in this world with magic. "
Ye Kong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm even worse off. I came from a technological universe. Moreover, the technology on the planet I came from was not advanced, and there was almost nothing that I could use. I came to this world as poor as a beggar. "
Uncle Hong nodded and smiled, patted Ye Kong's shoulder and said, "I have a feeling that maybe the Celestial Venerables from different universes put us together to compete and decide the winner, just like a bet. Maybe this is destiny."
Ye Kong was shocked and said, "No way, then aren't we equivalent to slaves in the arena?"
Uncle Hong said, "So I don't want to care about this bullsh * t destiny, and I don't want those big shots to use my fate for fun. You're on your own, I'm leaving, I hope to see you in the Divine Realm soon!"
After saying that, Uncle Hong left alone.
When Uncle Hong left, he left a jade slip for Ye Kong, which recorded many things that happened during Uncle Hong's time as the Celestial Master and the countermeasures to deal with it, so that Ye Kong could study it. From this point, Uncle Hong also hoped that Ye Kong would take over.
After that, he left the Five Elements Immortal Mansion, broke the passage, and directly entered the Celestial Realm.
He still had some old friends in the Celestial Realm to visit, and some things to settle and settle, before he could go to the Divine Realm with peace of mind.
After listening to Hong Dingfang's words, Ye Kong thought for a long time. Finally, Ye Kong shook his head and stood up, muttering to himself, "No matter what, I want to follow the destiny! If it's really like what Uncle Hong said, then I don't mind working hard to cultivate to the Celestial Venerable Realm, and then I'll go and smash those big shots' faces! "
After that, Ye Kong released Liu Ying and let her soul fuse into the Golden Lotus Puppet. When Liu Ying knew that seizing the Golden Lotus Puppet would cause a Nine Transformation Loose Immortal to die of despair, she was very depressed.
However, Ye Kong said, "I can't go back now, and I've already agreed to their conditions. If you feel guilty, then get rid of all distracting thoughts, fuse with this puppet, and then cultivate well, ascend to the Celestial Realm, and help them find their Patriarch. That can be considered as repayment! "
Liu Ying's eyes became clear, and she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll work hard!"
