Chapter 269: The Plane Consciousness's Gift, The New Child of Destiny
"Who? Who's there?"
The sudden voice gave Xiao Wu quite a fright.
Her identity as a visitor from another world had actually been exposed. Could it be that she was about to be sent back before accomplishing anything?
She hadn't even done anything significant on this Douluo Continent yet. She definitely didn't want to return to her original world now. That would be far too embarrassing.
If Rongrong found out, she would definitely laugh herself silly while mocking her.
"You may call me the Plane Consciousness."
"The moment you entered the Golden Ancient Tree, I knew that you were not a lifeform of our Douluo Continent."
"Your arrival has made me realize that perhaps you are the variable capable of breaking free from the control of the gods above."
At this point, the Plane Consciousness's gentle voice became filled with hatred.
"How hateful. That Sea God Tang San once relied on my plane's destiny to achieve both the Sea God and Asura God divine positions. Yet after obtaining them, he repaid kindness with betrayal, attempting to erase me completely and seize control of the Douluo Plane."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu finally let out a sigh of relief.
So the Plane Consciousness was an enemy of Tang San. The enemy of her enemy was her friend. In that case, the Plane Consciousness could, in a sense, be considered their ally.
"Plane Consciousness, I understand how you feel. That little bastard Sea God really is shameless."
"The reason I came here is also to defeat that little bastard. By the way, the favor you wanted to ask of me should be helping you defeat that little bastard, right?"
As she spoke, Xiao Wu smiled brightly and held out her small hand toward the Plane Consciousness.
"Plane Consciousness, I'm still so weak right now. You should at least give me some compensation, shouldn't you?"
Seeing that the Plane Consciousness was in a difficult situation, Xiao Wu felt this was the perfect opportunity to reap some benefits.
The Plane Consciousness had no idea just how terrifying her original world was.
In Xiao Wu's eyes, defeating that little bastard was guaranteed to succeed. The only question was how much time it would take.
"Visitor from another world, I will give you sufficient compensation, enough to grant you the opportunity to stand against that Sea God."
The Plane Consciousness made its promise to Xiao Wu with complete sincerity.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes instantly lit up.
Stand against that little bastard?
After all, the little bastard of this world had already become a God King.
If the Plane Consciousness's reward could truly allow her to oppose him, Xiao Wu couldn't even imagine just how generous that reward would be.
This was an opportunity comparable to the level of a God King.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu became eager to learn exactly what reward the Plane Consciousness intended to give her.
"Visitor from another world, I will transfer the destiny of the Douluo Plane to you, making you the new Child of Destiny."
"As for the previous Child of Destiny, I only recently discovered that he has already been targeted by the Sea God. I will now use my final trump card to transfer the destiny from Huo Yuhao into you."
"Furthermore, I will conceal the destiny surrounding you, preventing Sea God Tang San from discovering it. He will continue focusing his attention on the false Child of Destiny who has already lost his destiny."
"However, I won't be able to maintain this for long. One day, Sea God Tang San will discover what I've done. Before that happens, you must grow stronger as quickly as possible."
"The fate of the Douluo Plane now rests upon you."
The Plane Consciousness explained its entire plan to Xiao Wu in one breath.
This was also its greatest gamble.
It had placed everything on Xiao Wu, this unpredictable visitor from another world.
Success meant survival.
Failure meant death.
It had no other choice.
The original Child of Destiny had already been discovered by Sea God Tang San, while Tang Hao and Ah Yin were also watching the Douluo Plane closely.
If it did not change its strategy, the Child of Destiny would never be able to defeat the Sea God Tang San in the God Realm.
Upon learning that she was about to become the new Child of Destiny of the Douluo Plane, Xiao Wu was overjoyed.
This was an enormous opportunity!
After all, the Douluo Plane was unlike other planes. Its Child of Destiny had the potential to become a God King.
Even in the worst case, one could still reach the peak of a First-Class God.
She, Xiao Wu, had truly struck it rich.
Combined with Yun Yuan's help, Xiao Wu felt she had a one hundred percent chance of becoming a God King.
She had originally envied her best friend, Ning Rongrong, for becoming an empress.
But now, this little rabbit was about to rise as well.
You're merely a tiny emperor of the Douluo Continent.
I'm the Child of Destiny born once in ten thousand years for the entire Douluo Plane.
As for whose status carried more weight, there was no need to say another word.
"Plane Consciousness, I will definitely help you defeat that little bastard."
Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
"Good. You're the only one I can place my trust in now. I've truly reached the point where my survival hangs by a thread."
The Plane Consciousness spoke with a tone of helplessness.
If it had any other choice, it would never have placed all its hopes on Xiao Wu.
But it truly had none.
Only when Xiao Wu entered the Golden Ancient Tree this time did it realize that such an unpredictable variable existed within the Douluo Plane.
As for directly interfering with the Douluo Plane, with Tang Hao and Ah Yin present, it was no longer able to do so.
"Visitor from another world, I will now secretly transfer the Power of Destiny to you."
The Plane Consciousness took action.
Outer Court, Huo Yuhao's dormitory.
He was diligently cultivating, hoping to become a Soul Grandmaster as soon as possible so that he could obtain the tremendous opportunity Tianmeng Iceworm had spoken of.
Beyond his awareness, strands of golden Power of Destiny gradually flowed out of his body.
Without the protection of destiny, Huo Yuhao's thoughts became slower, and even his cultivation speed decreased slightly.
Once all of the golden Power of Destiny had completely left him, Huo Yuhao had fully lost his identity as the Child of Destiny.
From this point onward, his future achievements would depend entirely upon the Tianmeng Iceworm within his spiritual sea.
Should he make even the slightest mistake, he would die without a burial place.
Because the Power of Destiny would no longer protect him.
Inner Court, beneath the Golden Ancient Tree.
The strands of golden Power of Destiny gradually flowed into Xiao Wu's body.
Under the influence of the Power of Destiny, Xiao Wu's mind became clearer than ever before, as though she could master anything she learned.
Not only that, but an inexplicable intuition also allowed her to seek fortune and avoid disaster.
"What a wonderful feeling."
Xiao Wu felt incomparably refreshed, a sensation she had never experienced before.
After receiving the Plane Consciousness's gift and becoming the new Child of Destiny of the Douluo Plane, the illusionary space woven by the Plane Consciousness gradually dissipated.
Xiao Wu opened her eyes and found herself inside a massive tree hollow. It was the cultivation chamber at the base of the Golden Ancient Tree.
"Now that I've become the Child of Destiny, let's see what kind of results I can achieve cultivating in the Golden Ancient Tree with the blessing of the Power of Destiny."
With that thought in mind, Xiao Wu sat down inside the tree hollow and began meditating.
The rich life energy surrounding her soon allowed Xiao Wu to enter a state of deep meditation.
Within that state, only a single punch remained in her mind: the Heaven-Shattering Divine Fist that Yun Yuan had once demonstrated to her.
Under the influence of the Power of Destiny, Xiao Wu gradually gained a faint comprehension of that punch.
Half a month passed.
Only then did Xiao Wu emerge from her deep meditation.
She slowly opened her eyes. Although she was so hungry that she felt dizzy, she could not suppress the excitement within her.
