Destiny and The Fall of Wan Ying
Translator: 549690339
As all members of the Clans were affected and began to face Judgement one by one, the nervousness of the three of them also intensified. They had a premonition that it would soon be their turn to face the Judgement of Fate.
Outside the Sanctuary, all ten head teachers and Vice Principal Xu had arrived, but none dared to enter the Sanctuary, not even Vice Principal Xu.
Being only a level three of the Weakest Divine Power, he was also unable to exempt himself from the influence of a Top-tier Heirloom. If he were to enter the Sanctuary, he too would have to face the Judgement of the Scales of Fate.
Watching as Fishmen and Naga gained or lost benefits due to the Judgement of Fate, he felt anxious.
It didn’t matter if all the students’ Clans were wiped out, the main concern was the trouble that would ensue should anything happen to the students themselves.
Although there was a death quota for the final exams in the Outland, the death of ordinary students and that of elite students were two different matters.
But at this moment, he was powerless. Even notifying the headmaster or the former headmaster wouldn’t be in time, so all he could do was pray that their luck would be a little better.
The inevitable finally arrived, and under Wan Ying’s command, even the Heroic Harpy Queen began to face the Judgement of Fate, directly devolving into a harpy with mixed feathers. Afterward, the Judgement of Fate finally arrived for the three of them.
Lin Xiao gave Wan Ying a helpless look and withdrew his gaze from the Harpy Queen. After a round of Judgement of Fate, her entire Clan had perished—none met a good fate.
This was a very bad omen, Wan Ying’s beautiful face lost its color, turning pale with fear. She could feel the ominous sense herself, but there was nothing she could do about it, except to accept the Judgement of Fate.
As mysterious fluctuations of incomprehensible magic emerged from the other side of the Scales, Lin Xiao felt a slight tremor in the Scales, his heart sank, and as he saw his side of the Scales slowly descend, his face turned ashen.
“Damn it, no way!”
Lin Xiao was almost scared out of his wits, how could it be descending?
But that was the reality. The descent was slow, yet it was indeed happening.
“What should I do?”
He was frantic, thinking left and right, but the level of the Scales of Judgement of Fate was too high, far beyond his understanding and reach. He simply did not know what to do.
It was like facing a college-level calculus question during the exams from elementary to junior high—completely beyond his scope of knowledge, not even knowing how to begin to understand it, let alone how to answer it.
“Damn it!”
Seeing the Scales descending slowly but steadily, a terrifying darkness of impending doom crept in, and Lin Xiao could not sit still any longer—he acted in desperation, clasping his hands together towards all directions and muttering a prayer:
“Taoist Celestial Masters, Buddha, Jade Emperor, God, Allah, Jesus, deities from all quarters, ancient immortals from all sides, Astoth, Cthulhu be in…”
His voice suddenly stopped as his consciousness quickly sank into the Sea of Gods, where he saw the Creation Rubik’s Cube rotating back and forth at the center of the Sea of Gods, with waves of mysterious energy spreading out from the Magic Cube.
Lin Xiao’s eyes lit up immediately, as if he had grabbed onto a lifeline, and he transmitted his thoughts toward it.
The irregularly rotating Creation Rubik’s Cube paused slightly, making a ‘click-clack’ sound, and started spinning in the opposite direction with a burst of incomprehensible information emerging.
“Do you need more energy to resist the power of the Scales of Judgment of Fate?”
Lin Xiao understood and, without a second word, pulled out several cards and stuffed them into the Creation Rubik’s Cube. As the cube slowly turned, the cards were ground down and transformed into Creation Energy that gradually diffused out.
From the outside, it appeared as if waves of invisible fluctuations were slowly emanating from his body, causing the descending scale pan he was on to slow down.
“It’s effective!”
He was delighted and immediately grabbed a large handful of cards without hesitation, including other spoils from previous battles. He took out everything except for several rare and epic cards and shoved them into the cube to be transformed into Creation Energy.
At this critical juncture for survival, who cares whether these cards or spoils are valuable or useful? The priority was to save his own life first.
The six random Five Star cards from the two missions, as well as the twelve random Five Star cards obtained from Wan Ying and Yan Renjie, were all hastily crammed in.
All eighteen Five Star cards of lower-than-rare quality were disassembled, and a continuous stream of Creation Energy surged forth. Almost immediately, there was a visible effect; the descent of the Scales of Judgement of Fate slowed down more and more.
Lin Xiao had an epiphany and his thoughts swept over the remaining two epic cards and eleven rare Five Star cards. He selected six blue rare Five Star cards and merged them into the Creation Rubik’s Cube.
Even more potent Creation Energy burst forth, and the scale pan he stood on stopped descending and began rising. Before long, his scale pan had ascended to the very top of the Scales.
A crisp voice, originating from the depths of his soul, rang out:
“The judgment of fate has concluded; you will receive the favor of destiny and gain a strand of the Power of Fate.”
After that, the shadow of the Scales of Shadow beneath Lin Xiao’s feet simply vanished.
And then there was no more ‘after that.’ Apart from a strand of the so-called Power of Fate collected by the Creation Rubik’s Cube, there were no other changes. He didn’t gain a power boost after successfully passing the judgement like his Clan subordinates did.
Having consumed a total of twenty-three precious cards only to procure a strand of the Power of Fate of unknown use, Lin Xiao didn’t even know what to say.
Fortunately, surviving was a win in itself; no possession is more valuable than one’s own life.
Besides, he still had the remaining two Purple Epic cards and five rare Five Star cards. Plus, after he later killed the Snake People Demigod Gras, he would obtain a bunch of even better spoils. It wasn’t a loss.
Compared to his own way of cheating through the trial with money, Yan Renjie and Wan Ying weren’t as lucky. Like him, both of their Scales were descending —one slowly, and one quickly.
Yan Renjie’s Scales were descending more slowly than Lin Xiao’s, but they were still slowly going down.
As for Wan Ying, the speed at which her Scales of Fate fell was even faster than Lin Xiao’s. As he barely managed to cheat death through spending, Wan Ying’s Scales of Fate had already dropped to the bottom. Her face, once full of life, was now gripped with the fear of the unknown horrors that lay ahead.
Fate would not be merciful just because she was beautiful. The moment her Scales of Fate hit rock bottom, a fluctuation that made Lin Xiao’s skin crawl descended upon her. “No!” Wan Ying let out a scream of terror and right before his eyes, the divine light radiating from her body rapidly dimmed. Almost immediately, her smooth, fair skin began to grey, darken, and swell as her flesh started to rot away and fall off.
She looked in horror at her arm, from which flesh had peeled away to reveal stark white bone, and even the bone began to turn grey and roughen after the flesh had fallen away. A gentle breeze blew by, and the ashen bone turned into grey dust that scattered into the distance, leaving nothing of her Divinity behind.
In less than ten seconds, a cute and lovely girl, once vivacious and charming, had turned into a pile of ash that vanished without a trace, utterly obliterated..
