Chapter 1087: The Heavenly Daos' Fortune

The events of Trueborn's disastrously destructive actions had only impeded the forward momentum of the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit for a short period, serving only to instigate experts to later journey and explore the vast chaotic unknown of the triple Chaosnova fallout. While this would eventually thrust countless people into a series of life-or-death perils, those blessed with fortune will see sizable returns.  1

The Earthly Saints took the lead to return to the secret realm of the summit, and all those who dared to take a look outside followed them in a steady stream of Voidships and streaks of light in an obedient manner. The Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit might've halted due to the chaos, but its importance was still paramount. 

This summit was designed to establish the standards of the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region going forward, not just for the title 'Chosen' but for the concept surrounding organizational rankings. If the elevation was too high, forces that were originally considered bronze-tier would be pushed out, and the higher tiers would drop by one or more, likely causing them to lose their allocated spots for the Chosen King Competition.

Despite being set up thousands of years ago, almost everyone knew that the Chosen King Competition was absolutely vital. In fact, because the three Alchemic Saints belonged to opposing forces, they had no intentions of spreading their Mystic-Earth graded products outwards. Consequently, no Alchemic Sovereign would list the Mystic-Earth graded products they had concocted together with their peers on the market. Hence, there was absolutely no way to reasonably obtain a Mystic-Earth graded product. Not even the Everlore Association sold them, strictly keeping them for themselves.

After all, the Everlore Association was an organization as well. Every Mystic-Earth grade product was a boon of unimaginable proportions regardless of its uses.

However, the Chosen King Competition was different; the King of Everlore had left behind an uncertain number of various Mystic-Earth grade alchemical products as prizes for Chosen to seize. To be clear, a majority of Earthly Saints that existed today were byproducts of the King of Everlore's concoctions after they found incredible success in the Chosen King Competition. 

There were even unverified rumors that the King of Everlore himself refueled the Chosen King Competition's prizes just before each competition. And, considering that thousands of years had passed, and the products still seemed endless, it only served to support that exciting rumor. 

Of course, should anyone say this theory to the Alchemic Sovereigns of the Everlore Association, they would grow cold, their eyes hostile and dismissive. Due to this, there was a less popular rumor: 

The Everlore Association never listed Mystic-Earth graded products to the public solely because they had to offer them for the Chosen King Competition, exhausting the laborious efforts of their Alchemic Sovereigns and even Vice-President Evergod, who rarely showed himself.

If the rumor was true, how vicious was that? These Alchemic Sovereigns slaved over their cauldrons, yet they were unable to enjoy the benefits unless they sent members to the Chosen King Competition to reclaim them. If so, then it made sense that the Everlore Association would lead the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit in the hopes of elevating conditions, preventing others from obtaining more. 

While returning to the secret realm, Lin Ming's eyes glimmered with thoughtful sparks of light. The voice in his Aegis of the Elements began to speak once again. 

"A storm of blood and death will ensue; the best fortune is one that is born from danger." The voice said with a deeply emotional voice, containing a wisp of frustration. Lin Ming could tell that the voice was unable to involve themselves in the upcoming struggle that'd occur, so it made sense that he would be irritated to be on the sidelines.

"Should I give it a try?" Lin Ming had recently reached the Realm World Phase, so he could use a Worldly Domain and exert control over ambient energies to an extent. An itching desire to explore flowed through his bones. 

"Do you have a death wish?" The voice said dismissively, not taking Lin Ming seriously. "If you decide to enter that chaotic space as you are, you'll die—without a doubt. Even a Soul of Mysticism Phase expert would struggle to survive unless they were outstanding." 

"Really?" Lin Ming was initially skeptical, but he shivered after hearing that successful Ascended beings would struggle to survive. 

"Of course; the only exception I can think of is if you had a Spatial Treasure. However, the Spatial Treasure must be refined to resist chaotic spatial energies because that type of energy will strip you away of all your essential energies, deconstruct you at a cellular level, and spread you across space for billions of miles." 

"...!" Lin Ming's heart thumped violently. That fate sounded horrific to experience. The reason for the Great Sea Oceanic Queen's depletion of innate energies was due to this aspect of true chaotic spatial energies, not the controlled version that Wei Wuyin experienced in the Voyage of the Wanderer meant for training. Ma Zheng had felt his skin rip apart without a Mystic Ward, and he was a genuine Earthly Saint with a thoroughly refined body of thirty thousand years of effort and an unimaginable amount of wealth accumulated by the Golden Life Pavilion. 

The addition of Heavenly Mana only made it more treacherous to explore. If the Great Sea Oceanic Queen wasn't an Earthly Saint who refined her body with mystic-graded spatial energies, not even Wei Wuyin would've been able to save her after being killed. Her corpse would've instantly dispersed throughout the world.

Lin Ming discarded any thoughts of exploring unless he had ample preparations. 

Fortunately for Lin Ming and countless other Blessed, the Heavenly Daos were already working to set up a prime opportunity. 

In San Yongli's past life, only a single Chaosnova was unleashed, and within it was a secondary Heavenly World Core serving as a backup. In this life, there were three Chaosnova and three Heavenly World Cores. But what she hadn't realized was that there was still a backup Heavenly World Core!

The creature exploring the chaotic space had scoured for it! And it had found it! Unfortunately, the Great Sea Oceanic Queen had arrived without warning, and they fought very briefly. The fight wasn't much, but the resulting Clash had destroyed the Heavenly World Core, fragmenting it into portions as it split out of the chaotic space and spread throughout the Grand Cyclic Stellar Regions randomly.

The creature had only found roughly sixty percent of the fragmented Heavenly World Core; unable to find the rest, it left and escaped, likely exceedingly irritated by the Great Sea Oceanic Queen's existence. However, to it, she was already a decaying corpse, probably stripped away entirely by the chaotic, ripping might of that space.

Those fragments scattered and contained refined energies of space and Heavenly Mana, they…

In the Void-Blank Space of the Treasured Light Starfield and United Source Starfield, a rogue planet was impacted by a shard, imbued with enough force to enter its dead planetary core. 

Thump!

In the Desolate Dragnet Region, a shard land-

Ohn!

Wei Wuyin reached out while talking to Wu Yu, his Void Draconic Force and Mana Dominance of four Zenith Origin State level Astral Souls were fully unleashed, and a glistening piece of triangular metal with an icy-chill to its surface landed in his palm in a blip of grey light. The triangular metal was extremely obedient in Wei Wuyin's hands, subdued to the limits before his power.

"What's this?" Wei Wuyin asked as Wu Yu's eyes brightened, clearly stunned by the shard; his Mystic Soul was howling with excitement at being close!

After a brief inspection, Wei Wuyin's silver eyes glinted with elation. This was a piece of a Heavenly World Core, right? 

Karmic Luck Value: 41,555.3 → 41,132.3.

First Calamity: Survived - 7/7.

Second Calamity: Claimed - 1/1.

Third Calamity: Suppressed - 10 Years.

Throughout the Grand Cyclic Stellar Regions, Karmic Luck Value was drained away, all with different avenues of completing this fortuitous encounter designed by the Heavenly Daos, obtaining a path towards a higher future. But who could grasp this fortune will depend on their ability, not simply their Karmic Luck.

It didn't take long for the Chosen Stage to begin after Evergod gave his opening speech. The coliseum meant for the battles of these fortune youngsters cultivated by Alchemic Sovereigns was already set, and everyone perked up to witness this era-defining moment!

Suddenly, a figure landed on the coliseum after Evergod finished explaining the rules of the competition, bringing every pair of eyes to focus on them. The slightly chubby body of Du Ling took centerstage as he thought about the instructions left behind by Wei Wuyin. This was the moment!
