Black Myth: You and I are both destined

An unrivaled genius, he ascended into heaven at the age of nineteen and entered the legendary Eastern Heaven.

His achievements are like a meteor across the night sky, brilliant but short-lived.

After ascending, he found himself in a completely new world, filled with fairy air and shining divine light.

However, in this place where so many gods gather, I feel particularly lonely.

Some of the immortals around him were ministers in the previous life, some were descendants of gods, and some were relatives of the nobles in heaven.

They are inextricably linked, but the young genius has no background whatsoever. He is one of the few mortals who have ascended to the highest level with his own strength.

It was cold and cruel here, and the road was ruthless, which made the young man feel scared.

There were no immortals coming to congratulate him as he had imagined, no talent that would impress the gods and lead to him being promoted out of turn, and there was not even a chance for him to make a contribution.

Since he had no background or backing, he was sent to guard the South Gate of Heaven and became an ordinary heavenly soldier.

At this moment, the young man came to a new place and had a new identity. His earthly name was certainly not suitable for this place. His new name in heaven was usually called: "Alas, that heavenly soldier over there."

The South Gate of Heaven is the gateway to the Heavenly Palace and also the most dangerous place. Monsters often try to attack the Heavenly Palace, and the heavenly soldiers are the first line of defense.

His fate seemed to have destined him to become a victim in this struggle.

Among the ranks of heavenly soldiers, he got to know several priests.

Their attitude towards the teenager is quite complicated, with both sympathy and helplessness.

They knew that although the boy had outstanding talent, on the big stage of heaven, having no background meant having no future.

The priest said to the boy, "Little Heavenly Soldier, although you are gifted, you also know the rules of Heaven. Without a background, it will be difficult for you to succeed."

The young man smiled bitterly and responded: "I understand, but I don't regret it. It's enough to be here and see such a magnificent heaven."

After being isolated for many years, the priest passed by the South Gate of Heaven again and saw the young man again.

The priest comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, maybe one day you will encounter an opportunity to change your destiny."

The boy nodded, but after all these years, he knew in his heart that the chances of this happening were slim.

He began to accept his fate and became an ordinary heavenly soldier, guarding the peace of heaven.

As the days passed, the young man performed his duties conscientiously at his post at Nantianmen.

His strength increased in constant battles, but his status remained unchanged.

Until one day, the Heavenly Palace received news that a thousand years later a demon monkey would cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace was shaken, and all the celestial generals were summoned to the Lingxiao Palace to discuss countermeasures.

The young man was naturally not among them. He only learned passively later that he was incorporated into the 100,000 heavenly soldiers that were encircling and suppressing the demon monkey.

At first he didn't know what was going on, but later some generals told the truth after getting drunk.

The Heavenly Mirror Book in the Lingxiao Palace predicts: The demon monkey came from nowhere, was born and raised by nature, is invincible, and most of the heavenly soldiers who try to stop him will be killed or injured.

The boy was nothing more than a filler soldier who was bound to die.

The number of people in Heaven has been decreasing over the years. We can’t let the descendants of the gods die and rebuild the place in the lower world, right?

The boy's destiny is determined at this moment. He will become the brave man who "voluntarily" dedicates himself to the peace and prosperity of heaven. He is glorious, great and worth learning.

The boy wanted to get drunk and act like a fool, and wait until that day to die, but in this place, an ordinary heavenly soldier like him was not qualified to drink.

Until one day, Dhritarashtra, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, passed by the South Gate of Heaven after getting drunk. It was not known whether he was in a good mood or was genuine, but he pointed and said that they were guarding the gate well.

On the second day, the young man and a team of heavenly soldiers on duty guarding the Heavenly Gate that day were promoted to second-class heavenly generals!

The boy seemed to have gained enlightenment that day.

The heavy destiny that he carries on his shoulders is nothing more than a small decision made inadvertently by the immortal.

He began to try to change his situation, but he found that in this heaven where strength is respected, his strength was not enough to attract other people's attention.

So he began to learn how to flatter and how to use words to please those powerful priests.

His heart was full of contradictions and struggles, but he told himself that he had to do this in order to survive and to change his destiny.

In the heavenly palace, he cannot always be "that heavenly soldier over there". His existence cannot just be to set off those immortals with backgrounds.

The young man did not give up. He tried every possible means, even the most humble ones, to gain a foothold in heaven.

Endless time had already worn away his edges, and even if he had to lick, kneel, and bang his head, he would reach the top step by step!

As time went on, his efforts began to pay off.

His flattery was appreciated by some priests because he cleverly told them that he was a heavenly soldier promoted by Dhritarashtra himself, the King of Heaven, and the secret was unspeakable. As a result, his status gradually improved.

From an unknown celestial soldier, he gradually became a general, responsible for guarding the important gateway to the heaven - the Curtain-Pulling General!

There was a gleam in Sha Wujing's eyes.

"When I was young and wandering around the world, I met a real person. I cultivated three thousand merits before I could ascend to heaven."

"Others only know that I am prominent in front of others. They all say that I am a genius in the world, but they don't know how much effort I have put in behind the scenes!"

"Hahaha!"

"But none of this can compare to the intricate and complicated collusion among the clans in Heaven!"

"I simply made them think that I was the nature of Dhritarashtra, and thus changed the so-called destiny."

"The Jade Emperor personally appointed me as the General of the Curtain Rolling, to serve the Emperor in Lingxiao Palace!"

He looked towards the dawn.

"Do you know why I was willing to go to the West to obtain the scriptures despite having gone through all this?"

Tianming answered casually.

"The Heavenly Palace is so bloated, it will surely perish someday. Do you want to go to Lingshan to escape the disaster?"

Sha Wujing shook his head and touched the crystal vessel beside him.

"Fourteen years is insignificant to any immortal."

"I accompanied Master to obtain the scriptures and encountered a monster. My eldest and second senior brothers were in the front to hold it off. If things got worse, there was still Little White Dragon. There wasn't much time for me to take action."

"As for carrying a load, it means nothing to me. Every day I spend in heaven, I live a more humble life than a porter."

"This is a good job. There is no danger and you don't need to do much. You can get promoted three levels just by going down there."

When he said this, there was some anger in Sha Wujing's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

"It's all good, as long as there's no worries!"

Sha Wujing's eyes gradually became fierce!

"It would have been even better if this lucrative job had belonged to me in the first place."

He picked up the crystal vessel and placed it between himself and Tianming.

Through the crystal vessel titles, we see a different scene.
