The woman in white closed her eyes, and in an instant, countless fates swept past her, flickering constantly as she tried to glimpse the true scene from before.
However, to her shock, no matter how she observed, she could only see fragments of angry images of the ancestor of the shadow clan appearing occasionally, while she could not discern anything else.
Moreover, when she attempted to use her own origin to probe into the previous images, to catch a glimpse of the scenes of the two individuals clashing with the ancestor of the shadow clan, suddenly, a strong sense of crisis surged in her mind.
“Cannot be glimpsed!”
Boom!
The woman in white shuddered lightly, as if struck hard by some ethereal force. Her eyes snapped open, her mouth gaping as she gasped for air, her chest heaving violently.
“What... can’t be glimpsed at all?”
The woman in white inhaled sharply, a look of inexplicable horror and dread in her eyes.
If previously she could understand that directly calculating Qin Chen's fate would encounter a great terror from the unknown, then now, merely trying to retrace the images from the battlefield still gave her this sense of immense fear, making it hard for her to believe.
“What kind of power is this? At any time, in every moment, it obscures the Tianji. Even someone as strong as me, the master of the path of fate, can’t catch even a trace; otherwise, there would be difficulties in the path and ominous signs in later years?”
The woman in white was taken aback.
From what she knew, some terrifying beings from the oldest forces in the cosmic sea indeed held such power, able to obscure certain paths of fate so that others could not catch a glimpse. Yet, she was cultivating the path of fate; with her mastery over it, who could prevent her from even probing into a young man's fate, to the point of causing ominous signs in her later years?
“This boy, what exactly is his background?”
The woman in white trembled, not daring to think too deeply.
She hurriedly withdrew the path of fate, and in that image, she could only see the ancestor of the shadow clan's furious roar and the dark hole that appeared on his chest.
“The ancestor of the shadow clan had his divine heart ripped out?” the woman in white trembled.
“No, that was just an avatar.”
Immediately, the woman in white glimpsed more but was still incredibly shocked.
This reminded her of the rumors about Qin Chen from Southern Origin City.
“It’s him.”
“It must be him!”
“It’s absolutely him!”
“The one who mastered the path of fate, who fought against the ancestor of the shadow clan and emptied the ancestor's avatar, is Qin Chen from Southern Origin City.”
At that moment, the woman in white finally confirmed that the person who had fought with the ancestor of the shadow clan and comprehended the path of fate was indeed the Qin Chen who had received the Diagram of the Fate Path from her.
“With the cultivation of a peak great emperor, he fought against a divine emperor-level powerhouse. Moreover, from the aura around the battlefield, the ancestor of the shadow clan seems not to have gained any advantage. My decision back in the Southern Cosmic Sea was indeed correct.”
The woman in white felt both shocked and delighted, relieved by her earlier decision.
If she had decided to tear her face with Qin Chen back then, she could hardly imagine the outcome now; at the very least, it would not be as easy as the three clan elders thought, to crush the other party.
“Fortunately, I made the right decision.”
“No, wait.”
The woman in white suddenly looked up, gazing at the endless sky, her expression turning resolute.
“The stakes I’m placing now are still not enough.”
She concentrated, as if she could see the tumultuous tides of fate in the future, the dark changes in the cosmic sea.
“From the feedback given by the aura of fate, the future cosmic sea is about to enter an era of great waves and intense fluctuations. If my Heaven Clan wishes to stand firm at the forefront, we must make a choice.”
