Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 457: Celestial Destiny Pearl—Attaining Emperorhood through Dao

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Celestial Destiny Pearl—Attaining Emperorhood through Dao

Three days passed quietly.

At the mine, Chen Lan, who had been sitting cross-legged for three days, suddenly opened his eyes, a faint smile playing at his lips.

In front of him was an exotic stone the size of a fist, radiating golden light and floating in mid-air.

Chen Lan opened his hand, and the exotic stone slowly flew into his palm.

"Not bad, this exotic stone has been completely refined by me. Finally, I can see what’s inside." Chen Lan said with a smile, gripping the exotic stone, and with a slight force and a couple of rubs, he felt the stone crumble.

Opening his hand, a golden pearl appeared before his eyes. With a gentle breath, the stone debris was blown away by Chen Lan, and the pearl shimmered with gold, extremely dazzling.

Suddenly, a beam of golden light shot out from the pearl’s interior. Chen Lan couldn’t react before it entered his mind.

Thud!

Chen Lan fell backward abruptly, lying on the ground, his eyes turning white as if he’d lost his soul.

Another golden beam shot out from the pearl, forming a protective shield enveloping Chen Lan’s physical body.

Just at this moment, a ghost walked by, passing Chen Lan, seemingly not seeing him and left without a glance.

This layer of golden light apparently had a screening effect.

...

"The ancient battle, destiny unpredictable."

"Differences among races, ultimately demise!"

In the midst of chaos, Chen Lan seemed to hear an aged and heavy voice echoing beside him, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a mysterious and eerie white space.

"The ancient battle, destiny unpredictable, differences among races, ultimately demise?" Chen Lan mumbled, repeating the words he just heard.

"Indeed, ultimately destined for demise!" Suddenly, a voice echoed, Chen Lan looked up abruptly and saw an elder appearing before him.

The elder wore a thin robe, hands clasped behind him, smiling kindly at Chen Lan, looking benevolent and amiable.

"Senior," Chen Lan said.

"Young one, congratulations on acquiring the Celestial Destiny Pearl."

At these words, Chen Lan was slightly stunned, recalling the pearl just now, asking, "Senior, what is this Celestial Destiny Pearl?"

"An ancient product capable of reversing destiny, but it can only change fate once."

Chen Lan became agitated: "Can it bring someone back to life?"

If it can truly reverse fate, wouldn’t it mean he could revive Xiao Die?

"No, when someone’s dead, they’re without life, how can destiny be reversed then?"

Huh?

Chen Lan was taken aback, it made sense, he couldn’t find words to refute it.

Reversing destiny, without life, what is there to change?

"Then, this pearl seems useless to me." Chen Lan sighed.

"Young man, don’t you feel your fate is tumultuous?" The elder chuckled.

"Please guide me, senior." Chen Lan said with a serious fist salute, seeing that this elder seemed to have some skills.

"Fate is fraught with difficulties, the Path of Invincibility is hard to tread, attempting to become Emperor on this path is even harder."

Chen Lan’s body trembled: "Senior, you know I walk the Path of Invincibility?"

Realizing the foolishness of his words, Chen Lan asked again: "Senior, what do you mean by attempting to become Emperor on this path, please clarify!"

"Because I have seen a hint of the Path of Invincibility on you, you’ve already witnessed alienation, the first step in the Path of Invincibility is alienation, you can only forge ahead relentlessly, without turning back. To truly be invincible, you must become exceedingly powerful, so that others cannot keep up with you, killing decisively, until the world dares not provoke you; until the world is in awe!"

"Some fear you, others fear they cannot measure up to you, gradually becoming distant, you can do nothing, the Path of Invincibility is loneliness within loneliness, I’ve seen someone tread this path, unfortunately, he didn’t complete it."

Finished speaking, the elder sighed, seemingly in regret. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Who, and then what?" Chen Lan was very curious, is the Path of Invincibility really so difficult?

"That person killed for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, and just as he was about to become Emperor, he found no friends or family around him, even his loved one died of old age, due to low realm, leaving him alone. All were afraid of him, and he only endured the pain of loneliness, finally committing suicide. I vaguely remember his last words."

"In the next life, I’ll never tread the Path of Invincibility again, too lonely, so lonely there’re no friends or companions to share a heart."

Chen Lan was silent, he understood, his strength too great, others couldn’t keep up, not necessarily possessing his talent, in the end only friends die one by one, leaving him alone.

"But if I bring others along to attain the path, wouldn’t that be less lonely?" Chen Lan countered.

"Ha, naive, too naive!" The elder shook his head with a cold laugh, looking deeply into Chen Lan’s eyes: "Do you know, that the great path is emotionless, those who are indecisive, think of others, kind-hearted, ultimately cannot attain the path, to attain it, you must take out determination and ruthlessness, must accept the truth of loved ones dying."

"If you truly can, while leading others to attain the path, comprehend the Path of Invincibility, then this Celestial Destiny Pearl is truly useless to you."

The elder looked disdainful, believing Chen Lan was dreaming, how could pursuing the path carry burdens? People like this never succeed.

Chen Lan said nothing, after a long time, he fist saluted: "Thank you for your guidance, senior, I understand."

"If you can enter Emperor through the Path of Invincibility, come to the Celestial Domain to find me, I am the Heavenly Destiny Son."

As the voice fell, space dissipated, Chen Lan awoke abruptly and sat up.

Staring at the floating Celestial Destiny Pearl before him, Chen Lan picked it up, his gaze gradually firming.

"What kind of shitty Celestial Destiny Pearl, can’t even help in attaining the path, let alone reverse destiny. I’ve never reversed destiny; heaven is just my stepping stone, where is the reversal!"

Bang!

The Celestial Destiny Pearl was crushed by Chen Lan, turned to ashes, this treasure capable of reversing destiny, coveted by countless, was shattered by him like that.

Rumble!!!!

Suddenly, thunder rang in the sky, seemingly in anger because of Chen Lan’s words, infuriating the Heavenly Dao!

Chen Lan slightly lifted his gaze, slowly exuding demonic qi, his entire being becoming sinister and eerie.

"Someday, I’ll devour you all."

Rumble.

Again came the sound of thunder, yet it only rumbled, not descending, daring to be angry but not act.

Chen Lan’s idea of the Path of Invincibility was never like this, if stepping into invincibility alone, what is the Path of Invincibility!

He wants to carve out the true Path of Invincibility, bringing everyone to invincibility, that is true invincibility!

Suddenly, Chen Lan shuddered, a mysterious yet inexplicable aura floated from his body, his soul sea trembled, and his body seemed lighter, feeling an unstoppable determination to seek defeat worldwide!

This is...

Before he could ponder anything, the Forbidden Heaven’s voice echoed in his mind.

"Master, the Demon Race has come again, this time with two Taoist Saints and ten thousand of the Demon Race, attacking the Underworld!"

At these words, Chen Lan’s aura exploded, murderous intent surged, rushing towards the direction of the Underworld!
