Chapter 888: Chapter 44: The Heavenly Destiny List and Creation Plate, Interception!
Instead, he felt a bunch of silver hair.
"Losing fifty years of lifespan..." King Heavenly Destiny sighed softly. "I don’t know how many years I have left to live."
"But, at last, the hidden danger on the Creation Plate is completely removed, and the dark gate left there by Prince Liang wiped away."
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, as one of the most important departments of Great Zhou, was naturally a target of Prince Liang’s contention.
Here at King Heavenly Destiny’s, there was an internal conflict and purge.
However, the cost was also great.
Because Prince Liang had once held power over the Creation, leading to almost seventy percent of the Fate Officers in Pinghai State being lost!
Even King Heavenly Destiny was now at the point of being utterly depleted.
"I have less than three years of life left." King Heavenly Destiny had a clear perception of his own heavenly fate.
"Three years later, if Prince Liang’s rebellion is not quelled, I will surely die."
"If I do not obtain the title of a First-rank Prince, I will also die."
After coming to terms with his situation, King Heavenly Destiny quickly disregarded life and death.
"More than two months have passed; the role of the Fate Officers must be quickly restarted."
"Use the Creation Plate to counter the Heavenly Fate Golden List, or else the two states and one sea area are all within Prince Liang’s insight," thought King Heavenly Destiny.
He began to swiftly contact the lower-tier organizations, using the Creation Plate here to review.
Among the first batch of people he contacted was Zhao Xing.
"Kid, you better not die."
King Heavenly Destiny also saw the many messages Zhao Xing had sent him through the Earth Mirror.
But after the second day of February, the day of Prince Liang’s rebellion, Zhao Xing had not sent him any more messages.
Mainly because Zhao Xing also guessed that King Heavenly Destiny was surely occupied by important matters.
Later, as his Earth Mirror permissions increased, if he kept sending messages, he might have forcibly relayed the messages to King Heavenly Destiny.
Wouldn’t that have troubled King Heavenly Destiny?
"There’s been no message since the second day of February." King Heavenly Destiny’s expression was indifferent.
Whether Zhao Xing was dead or had followed the rebellion, it was a heavy blow to him.
Trembling, he activated the Earth Mirror to contact Zhao Xing.
......
Bright Moon Prefecture.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Xing’s true self touched the Earth Mirror and saw a familiar name.
"King Heavenly Destiny? He finally appeared!"
Zhao Xing immediately connected to King Heavenly Destiny’s communication request.
Buzz~
King Heavenly Destiny’s illusion appeared before him.
"Hahaha, you’ve really grown, kid. When I contact you now, I can’t even directly activate your Earth Mirror."
"King Heavenly Destiny, you, how did you become like this?" Zhao Xing was shocked to see King Heavenly Destiny’s appearance.
At this time, King Heavenly Destiny’s hair was completely white, mostly fallen out, and his face had many wrinkles.
He looked like someone on the verge of dying.
"Oh, small issue." King Heavenly Destiny forgot to recover, gently revolving primordial energy, his hair regrew, and the wrinkles disappeared.
Zhao Xing was suspicious, realizing that King Heavenly Destiny had forcibly concealed the issue of his depleted lifespan.
He didn’t know what King Heavenly Destiny had faced.
He had even forgotten to recover, clearly contacting Zhao Xing at the first moment.
"I already said it’s a small issue; I got injured using the Creation Plate for calculations and will recover soon," King Heavenly Destiny said.
"Let’s not mention this matter first, how have you been? Quickly report on what’s happened these past two months."
"Separation for a long time, and with major changes, I need to recalculate your future’s fortune and misfortune."
"Yes, at the time I couldn’t reach you, and then I was transferred to Tianhe Prefecture..."
Zhao Xing recounted his experiences to King Heavenly Destiny, including slaying the Tianxia King and arriving at Bright Moon Prefecture.
He thought King Heavenly Destiny would be pleased and praise him a bit.
However, to his surprise, King Heavenly Destiny’s expression turned very serious.
Moreover, his fingers were calculating, eventually even turning his back to Zhao Xing, pointing and plotting on the Creation Plate.
Zhao Xing dared not stop narrating because he knew King Heavenly Destiny wasn’t deliberately trying to scare him.
That meant King Heavenly Destiny had definitely calculated something.
Was his appearance indicating a new progression or a crucial node? In Zhao Xing’s mind, the Memory Palace started to rapidly search.
Meanwhile, King Heavenly Destiny’s expression changed drastically as he looked at the results displayed on the Creation Plate.
He calculated several times over, then abruptly turned to Zhao Xing:
"No, you missed reporting something! How could this be?"
"Zhao Xing, quickly detail everything you’ve done, leaving nothing out!" King Heavenly Destiny’s tone had a hint of urgency.
This made Zhao Xing very nervous: "Prince, what exactly did you calculate? I also don’t know at the moment what I might have omitted."
King Heavenly Destiny said urgently: "Prince Liang has a Heavenly Fate Golden List that can present detailed information about the top ten thousand powerhouses in Pinghai State."
"Not only that, but everyone on the list can also show this person’s influence on his rebellious forces, similar to the role of the Creation Plate."
"He can use this list to recruit talents or can kill those he cannot use to reduce their influence on him!"
Zhao Xing’s heart sank, indeed, the Heavenly Fate Golden List!
Had Prince Liang already activated the [Heavenly Fate Golden List] by April?
"King Heavenly Destiny, am I on the list?" Zhao Xing asked.
King Heavenly Destiny’s voice trembled a bit:
"You, not only are you on the list, but you’re ranked eighty-fifth!"
"Heavens! After I finished telling you this, your rank even rose to seventy-third!"
Seventy-third? Zhao Xing’s heart was also shaken.
The ten thousand names on the Heavenly Fate Golden List would surely all be high-grade combat power, and even Third Grade might not make it on.
He wasn’t surprised to be on the list.
But what surprised him was that he had actually reached seventy-third?!
"Zhao Xing, having made it onto this list and unwilling to submit, you’ll certainly face strong assassination attempts from Prince Liang’s forces!"
"Quickly leave Tianhe Prefecture and head to Chongming Prefecture!"
Zhao Xing, of course, understood the danger and immediately asked in a deep voice: "Prince, how much time do I have to prepare?"
King Heavenly Destiny immediately operated the Creation Plate again, spitting several mouthfuls of blood, then his expression shook: "The assassination plan started ten days ago, and the assassins have already arrived in Bright Moon Prefecture!"
"Zhao Xing, there’s no time, immediately return to the Prefecture City! I will immediately send someone to assist you!"
