Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 498: Let’s Join Forces Against Him

Chapter 498: Let’s Join Forces Against Him

【Name: Ye Yan / Lin Dongtian / Lin Hu】

【Realm: Peak Divine Palace Realm / Golden Summit Venerable Realm】

【Fate Traits: Possessed by Three Souls, Inheritor of the Flame Emperor, Leadership Aura, Blessed by Fate, Solar Molten Fire Body, Child of Destiny, Inheritor of the Martial Ancestor, Survivor of Catastrophe, Calamity Begets Fortune, Fondness for Men, Martial Spirit — Sacred Thunder Body】

Shen Mo narrowed his eyes at the trait labeled "Possessed by Three Souls."

【Possessed by Three Souls — Red-grade Fate Trait: You once contended with two other souls, absorbing part of their fragmented remnants. By a twist of fate, those two souls were drawn into your body. As a result, your own soul has grown stronger and broken through to a higher realm.】

He raised an eyebrow.

No wonder Ye Yan’s cultivation had suddenly soared to the peak of the Divine Palace Realm.

It was entirely because he had absorbed fragments of Lin Dongtian and Lin Hu’s souls.

"Lin Hu… that must be the Martial Spirit residing in Lin Dongtian's body. One of the Martial Ancestor’s former top generals."

Shen Mo continued reading until he reached the section on recent fortunes, and his eyes lit up.

【Recent Fortune #1: One day later, fearing Shen Mo, you will request to go on an external hunt for remaining demons. In the ruins of Azure Dragon Four-Two Outpost, you will discover half of the Demon Emperor’s pinky finger along with the demonic technique "Heaven and Earth Reversal Art." You will then begin cultivating this technique, using demonic energy to refine your own body.】

【Recent Fortune #2: Three days later, while assisting in the clearing of Blood God Four-Three Outpost ruins, you will stumble upon the Demon Emperor’s thumb. With it, you further cultivate "Heaven and Earth Reversal Art," causing your strength to skyrocket.】

【Recent Fortune #3: Six days later, while helping rebuild the Tianjiang Four-One Outpost, you will be ambushed by demons controlled by the Demon Emperor’s left hand. After killing them, you will obtain half of the middle finger and discover the visualization diagram of the Blazing Heavenly Eye. Your strength will rise to Grand Completion Divine Palace Realm, and you will condense a second Dharma Manifestation.】

【Recent Fortune #4: One month later, you will head to the fifth layer to participate in establishing a new outpost. You’ll be hunted by a Great Sky Demon descendant and inadvertently enter a hidden cavern.

It turns out to be the burial site of a peerless great fiend. Over countless years, blood and demonic energy fused here, creating a strange and powerful terrain. The Great Sky Demon descendant will be forced to retreat.

You will fall unconscious for fifteen days, and during that time, your two physiques will merge into one—forming the low-grade saint physique: Sacred Sun Thunder Body.】

【Recent Fortune #5: Three months later, during a search for rare materials, you will find the remains of an ancient predecessor within a cliff crevice. From it, you will acquire a bottle of pills containing five Taixu Nourishing Saint Pills. Your physique will be elevated to a mid-grade saint level.】

【Recent Fortune #6: …】

One after another, these fortunes flashed before Shen Mo’s eyes.

He clicked his tongue in admiration.

Ye Yan was a "Child of Destiny," while Lin Dongtian was "Fate-Defying."

He had already intercepted many of their opportunities—several of them major events that would have had significant impact.

Their fate traits had already begun to degrade, though not yet to a lower grade.

But now that both souls resided in the same body…

Their fate had not weakened at all.

It had grown even stronger.

This result was different from Shen Mo’s original expectations, but not by much.

He had assumed Ye Yan would kill Lin Dongtian and seize his fortune.

He hadn’t expected them to end up in the same body.

Still, that was fine too.

After all, the small fat sheep had simply become a bigger fat sheep.

He was more than happy about it.

"With this many fortunes surrounding him, it’s likely that most of the Demon Emperor’s flesh fragments will be found by him."

"On top of that, he can fuse physiques, acquire a top-tier heavenly visualization, and even obtain the pills necessary to strengthen that physique."

Shen Mo mentally noted down all the fortunes with a calm smile.

In the distance, Ye Yan, who had just stepped into the Vermilion Bird Four-One Outpost, inexplicably caught a glimpse of Shen Mo’s faint smile and instantly shivered.

"Could he have figured something out?"

In Ye Yan’s mind, Lin Dongtian’s uncertain voice echoed.

Ye Yan muttered under his breath, "Shut up. Stop buzzing around in my head."

Lin Dongtian sneered, "If you hadn’t tried to kill me, would I even be in your head? I’d be living just fine right now!"

Then a deep, steady voice of a middle-aged man followed, "Master, now that the three of us share a single body, let’s not quarrel amongst ourselves."

Lin Dongtian sneered, "I know. I don’t need you running your mouth."

The middle-aged man fell silent at once.

He was none other than Lin Hu, once a trusted general under the Martial Ancestor.

The three souls fell into silence for a long time.

Eventually, Lin Dongtian said calmly, "We can’t afford to provoke Shen Mo—especially now that he’s stepped into the Dharma Manifestation Realm."

Ye Yan replied coldly, "I don’t need you reminding me."

"No one knows how terrifying Shen Mo is better than I do."

Lin Dongtian frowned. "You know him?"

Ye Yan took a deep breath. "Yes. Not only do I know him, I understand him better than you do."

"Back then, he and I were elders in the same sect."

Lin Dongtian was stunned. "You two are that familiar? Then tell me, what kind of person was Shen Mo?"

Ye Yan fell silent.

Only after a long pause did he speak. "A terrifying person."

"His talent is monstrous—no one could rival his cultivation speed."

"His will is unshakable, resolute to an extreme."

"But what’s truly frightening is his intelligence."

"It’s as if he can predict everything before it happens."

Ye Yan paused, then added, "And also..."

Lin Dongtian pressed, "And also what?"

Ye Yan said slowly, "Also, I’ve always felt that some things that should have belonged to me… were taken by him."

"Maybe it’s just my imagination."

Lin Dongtian fell silent too.

After a while, he said, "I’ve had the same feeling."

"My fortunes, my vaunted luck—it all feels meaningless in front of him."

"Do you believe in the idea of destined rivals?"

"I suspect… Shen Mo is ours."

Ye Yan didn’t respond immediately, but the look in his eyes showed he agreed.

Lin Dongtian suddenly said, "Let’s join forces. Let’s face him together."

"Our souls now share the same body. From today on, you are me, and I am you."

"We’re already at the peak of the Divine Palace Realm—just one step from the Dharma Manifestation Realm."

"With both of us blessed by fate, if we work together, we may yet surpass Shen Mo!"

Ye Yan took a deep breath. "Alright."

Lin Dongtian said in a low voice, "Remember to stay away from him for now. We’re still no match for Shen Mo."

"Even a gentleman can wait ten years to take revenge."

Ye Yan shook his head. "I understand that better than you."

Only then did Lin Dongtian go quiet.

Ye Yan looked at Shen Mo from a distance, eyes filled with burning determination.

"Just wait… I will surpass you. I will become the next Dharma Manifestation Realm expert!"

...

That night.

Shen Mo departed from the Vermilion Bird Four-One Outpost, stepping into the vast darkness of the fourth layer.

With his current cultivation in the Dharma Manifestation Realm, and the dazzling feat of having slain An Mie, no one dared to question his actions.

Shen Mo stood atop a hill, gazing into the terrifying darkness ahead.

The demons had suffered a crushing defeat.

The third, fifth, ninth, and tenth Great Sky Demons had all perished.

Lesser demons and true demons didn’t dare linger. They had already fled deeper into the fourth layer.

Though this vast region of the fourth layer still appeared shrouded in darkness, it was already devoid of all demonic presence.

"Tonight is destined to be a busy night."

Shen Mo smiled.

Aside from the opportunity in the fifth layer, which he couldn’t reach for now, he could collect all the remaining fortunes in one go.

"Opportunities… here I come!"

With that, Shen Mo stepped into the vast darkness—walking on air.
