Chapter 1492 - Controlling Fate
Jiang Chen didn’t know anything about the Demon Slayer Palace, but Du Yongbo knew many things about it.
“Why are there only a few Demon Slayer Palace members among the numerous people entering and leaving the Demonic Abyss?” Jiang Chen questioned him about this matter out of curiosity.
“Any well-informed martial-grade expert would make inquiries about the Demonic Abyss, and he would then get to know the Demon Slayer Palace.”
“The Demon Slayer Palace always kept a low profile, and it nearly shunned the world. There wasn’t any reason for people to talk about it apart from this one,” Du Yongbo said.
“The reason why we got information about the Demon Slayer Palace is that a person we met in a forbidden land informed us about it.”
Jiang Chen nodded and understood what he meant.
The Demon Slayer Palace had never announced its existence openly, and news about it only spread from person to person within social circles.
However, the person mentioned by Xuan Qing was probably not Xue’er.
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen figured out everything, and he recalled that the Empyrean Goddess was the Heavenly Bestowal Woman.
“Young master, it seems as if you know her, and you should be aware that the Heavenly Bestowal Woman can’t just become a Divine King, she can also help someone else to become a Divine King.”
“I’m aware of this matter. Miss, please go on.”
Xuan Qing nodded and said, “Nearly all Empyrean Goddess’s descendants are women, and there is a saying passed down along with this bloodline, and it’s that every Empyrean Goddess’s descendant is fated to have the same final destination.”
“It’s impossible! The Empyrean Goddess has great prestige in the Xuanhuan Realm. So, who would dare to target the Empyrean Goddess’s descendants?” Jiang Chen found this matter unimaginable.
“They obviously don’t dare to snatch us openly, but the people appearing around us since we were born until we grow up are determined.”
“When I was eight years old, I had a favorable impression of a boy that appeared suddenly, and, the next day, that boy disappeared from my world forever.”
“It seems like there is a formless great hand controlling my fate, and when it descends, I won’t be able to even discern from which direction it will come at me,” as Xuan Qing spoke, tears streaked down across her face.
Jiang Chen opened his mouth, but he still kept his silence.
“However, the most important matter is that in the past, there wasn’t nearly any hope to become a Sovereign or a God, and that was why even Empyrean Women could only resign themselves to their fates, and some were even delighted to do so.”
“But, a great era has arrived, and I’m not willing to do so. I want to grasp my fate in my own hands.”
Xuan Qing stood up suddenly, gnashing her teeth as she expressed her greatest wish.
