Chapter 674 Failure: Guidance of Fate
And deep within that imperial palace, worshipped by billions of people.
In a quiet room made of purple-gold divine bronze, Lin Hanzhou, who was sitting cross-legged, finally opened his eyes, which had been closed for five thousand years!
"boom--!!!"
The moment he opened his eyes, the spiritual energy in the entire quiet room surged violently, as if the universe had just begun.
In his left eye burned a pure, golden holy fire that seemed capable of turning all the heavens and myriad worlds to ashes.
Within his right eye flowed billions of deep purple lightning bolts of divine punishment, each bolt containing destructive power capable of shattering galaxies.
Five thousand years of seclusion have finally come to an end.
Lin Hanzhou exhaled a breath of stale air and stood up. His slender body did not exude any earth-shattering pressure. Instead, he had a natural and peaceful feeling of returning to simplicity and being completely integrated with the Great Dao.
However, if a supreme-level expert were to stand before him at this moment, he would surely be terrified by the terrifying power within him, which was like the lurking power of billions of ancient volcanoes.
For the past five thousand years, the outside world may have seemed calm and peaceful, but for Lin Hanzhou, it was a golden age of rapid advancement in cultivation and a crazy surge in his foundation!
His extraordinary talent for "enlightenment" can be triggered unconditionally once every fifty years.
During his long seclusion of five thousand years, he used this talent to gain more than a hundred opportunities for enlightenment!
Through these hundred or so profound epiphanies, he has already mastered the Great Dao of Fire, which he has been cultivating, to a state of consummate skill.
In his hands, the Heavenly Flame was no longer merely a symbol of destruction, but also the primordial fire that gave birth to new life and created all things.
At the same time, he also achieved near-perfect control over the other major path of lightning.
The two extreme forces, Heavenly Punishment Thunder and Heavenly Burning Sacred Fire, which should have been mutually exclusive, not only did not clash within his body, but instead formed a mysterious and incomparably profound Tai Chi Yin-Yang balance, merging with each other and endlessly regenerating.
Lin Hanzhou clenched his fist slightly, feeling the surging and roaring imperial laws within his body, a hint of absolute confidence flashing in his eyes.
He had a strong intuition that after five thousand years of accumulation and transformation, his combat power had been significantly enhanced!
His current strength is definitely not much weaker than when he was the Emperor of Time in his previous life.
In his previous life, he swept across the ages, his combat power comparable to the legendary four emperors.
In this life, although it is only his first life, with the blessing of the dual paths of thunder and fire and the foundation of a hundred enlightenments, he also possesses terrifying strength comparable to the four great emperors!
"However... it seems that our combat strength has reached a bottleneck."
Lin Hanzhou frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
Having reached his current level, if he wants to take even a small step further, simple seclusion and arduous cultivation or sudden enlightenment are unlikely to have an immediate effect.
What he needs is a special opportunity, the kind of supreme creation that can break the shackles of heaven and earth.
He was preparing to emerge from seclusion and travel through the vast universe, seeking opportunities to break through his limitations and explore unknown realms.
Just as he was about to step out of the meditation room, a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind, and he paused slightly.
"By the way, I seem to have a rather interesting talent that I'm not using."
A strange light flashed in Lin Hanzhou's eyes.
He recalled the extremely special golden talent he had acquired at the time of his birth in this life—[Guidance of Destiny]!
This talent has an outrageously long cooldown, taking a full thousand years to complete.
Its effects are somewhat ethereal, similar to a heaven-defying ability that allows one to make wishes at will and forcibly guide the thread of fate to the desired location.
Prior to this, he had been busy with battles and seclusion to consolidate his realm, and had not used this talent.
Lin Hanzhou had a sudden thought and immediately opened the system panel.
Among the series of data, he immediately spotted the talent option that emitted a faint golden light.
[Talent: Guidance of Destiny (Gold)]
Available attempts: 5
"After five thousand years of seclusion, I've accumulated five opportunities to use this skill."
Lin Hanzhou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile of great interest.
"Since I'm currently struggling to find an opportunity to break through my limitations, why not use this talent to test the waters and see where fate can lead me!"
Without hesitation, Lin Hanzhou silently recited the command in his mind and used the [Guidance of Fate] for the first time.
"I want... a chance to become an immortal!"
Lin Hanzhou made an outrageous demand, granting the ultimate wish that countless cultivators and ancient emperors throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had dreamed of obtaining.
At the very moment he made his wish!
"clang--!"
Lin Hanzhou felt as if a desolate bell, filled with the weight of time, was ringing from the deepest part of his consciousness.
The sound of the bell seemed to transcend eternity, striking directly at his soul.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden thread appeared out of thin air in front of him without warning.
This golden thread exuded a mysterious aura that transcended the laws of heaven. It seemed to possess its own life, writhing wildly in front of Lin Hanzhou like a headless fly.
Sometimes it points to the deep starry sky beyond, and sometimes it seems to want to pierce the barrier of time and go to the distant past and future.
Golden threads flew wildly through the void, frantically searching for targets that matched the "opportunity to become an immortal".
However, only a few breaths had passed.
The once dazzling golden thread seemed to have exhausted all its energy, or as if it had encountered an insurmountable obstacle in the long river of fate, and suddenly trembled violently.
With a soft "bang," the golden threads shattered completely in front of Lin Hanzhou, turning into countless golden specks of light that slowly dissipated into the void of the quiet room.
Ultimately, it failed to point out a definite direction.
At the same time, the system's cold voice rang in Lin Hanzhou's mind.
[Ding! Target does not exist or causal shielding is too deep; guidance by fate has failed, consuming one use.]
"Did it fail...?"
Looking at the dissipating golden light, Lin Hanzhou's face showed no surprise or discouragement.
This result was clearly entirely within his expectations.
Becoming an immortal is the greatest obsession and lie in this universe.
Since the age of mythology, no one in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has ever been able to defy the heavens and become an immortal.
This broken universe has flawed laws of nature and a lack of substances for longevity. Perhaps there is no such thing as "the opportunity to become an immortal" in this world at all.
