Black Myth: You and I are both destined

Through the bottom of the vessel, Tianming saw the original appearance of the heaven. It was no longer magnificent, but now in extreme dilapidated condition.

This place was once the residence of the gods, with heavenly music and ethereal air. But now only broken walls and endless desolation remain.

The once magnificent palace is now reduced to ruins. The roof of the palace has collapsed and the walls are covered with vines. The once bustling hall now has only the sound of wind echoing in the empty space.

Tianming was shocked!

"what is this?"

Sha Wujing carefully placed the crystal vessel in Tianming's hand.

"Hold it steady."

Tianming took the vessel and found many tiny cracks on it.

He looked around through the crystal vessel.

In the garden of heaven, flowers bloom in full bloom and divine light is everywhere.

But through the vessels, the flowers had withered, leaving only dead branches and leaves. The fairy pond in the garden had dried up, and the bottom of the pond was cracked, reflecting the gray sky.

In the other direction is the Jinge Shenbing Mansion.

There used to be countless artifacts enshrined here, each of which possessed supreme power, but now, these artifacts have been abandoned in corners or covered in dust, having lost their former glory.

Only then did Tianming feel that the fairy air in heaven had dissipated, replaced by dullness and depression, even breathing became difficult.

The sky was dark and covered with dark clouds, and even the sunlight could not penetrate the haze.

"So this place has become so dilapidated. It seems the disaster the Great Sage mentioned has already happened!"

"Yes, only through the colored glass can we see the truth of this world."

Sha Wujing pointed at the crystal vessel and talked about the past.

He used to be the curtain-pulling general in the Heavenly Palace, standing beside the Jade Emperor every day, and his fate seemed to have improved a long time ago.

However, by chance, his eyes penetrated the glass cup on the Jade Emperor's desk and glimpsed the secret of the future.

In the reflection of the glass lamp, he saw the hidden secrets of heaven!

He saw that the Jade Emperor, on the throne of power, was not entirely fair and selfless, and sometimes even manipulated the fate of others for his own selfish desires.

In order to achieve balance, he could allow Chiguotian to turn into himself and falsely accuse Marshal Tianpeng of molesting Chang'e.

He saw that the Six-Eared Macaque was not a born stone monkey, nor was he the second heart of Sun Wukong, but a descendant of a god abandoned by the Heavenly Palace.

There are no such things as the Four Great Divine Monkeys in this world. The Six-Eared Macaque, the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey and the Tongbei Ape are all descendants of gods who were born after violating the laws of nature!

He saw that the real purpose of Tang Monk's journey to the West was not simply to spread Buddhism, but a show specially arranged by the Heavenly Court in order to control the beliefs of the human world.

He also got a glimpse of his future.

In the 36,500 futures, he would be punished in another place every time for making mistakes, and eventually his soul would be scattered and his body would be destroyed!

These secrets shocked General Juanlian. He realized that he was still under the shackles of fate and must take action to change his destiny.

He began to plan a daring plan to quietly change the records of his life and death in the Heavenly Palace.

General Juanlian knew that in order to get close to the "Nan Dipper Death Book" which controlled the fate of the gods, he had to avoid the surveillance of the Haotian Mirror.

He decided to take advantage of the chaos of the Peach Festival, which was the grandest festival in Heaven. All the gods would be immersed in joy, and the Haotian Mirror's attention would be relatively distracted.

On the eve of the Peach Festival, General Juanlian found a powerful man and exchanged all his savings for a magic weapon that could temporarily make him invisible.

This powerful being is called Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the underworld is jointly ruled by him and Hou Tu Niangniang.

General Juanlian discovered the secret of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva through Liuli Zhan, and exchanged it with him for the secret treasure of the Nine Netherworlds - the Netherworld Cloak.

This cloak allows him to make his presence undetectable even by the Haotian Mirror for a period of time.

On the day of the meeting, General Juanlian put on the Netherworld Cloak, left the banquet quietly, and went to the Life Hall of the Birthday Company.

There, he found the scroll that recorded his own destiny, and with trembling hands, he carefully modified his book of life and death.

Just as he was about to leave, a powerful wave of power alarmed the Heavenly Palace.

The Jade Emperor sensed something unusual, and the light from the Haotian Mirror began to sweep across the Heavenly Palace.

General Juanlian used the power of the Nether Cloak to return to the banquet silently.

His action was successful, but he knew that this was just the beginning.

He needs more planning and more actions to truly change his destiny.

So he deliberately knocked over the Jade Emperor's glass cup at the Peach Banquet to prevent others from continuing to spy on the future and destiny.

As a result, General Juanlian was demoted to the mortal world and became a river monster in the Liusha River.

He feels like he's being pierced by thousands of arrows every day, his life is miserable, he gets chills every now and then, and he has to feed on humans.

But he did not give up. He knew that the pilgrims would pass by here, and he had to carry out the most important part of his plan and become a member of the team.

He deliberately ate nine of Tang Monk's previous lives and finally attracted the attention of Lingshan.

Lingshan originally wanted to kill him directly, but he had a background in the divine world and had fragments of the glass lamp on his body, so he could not be killed at all.

In order to quell the chaos in the Quicksand River, it was finally decided to let him join the team to obtain the scriptures.

After telling his story, Sha Wujing asked Tianming.

"The so-called destiny can be changed. I now hold my own destiny in my hands and become a transcendent person. What about you?"

Asking questions knowingly!

Tianming is naturally trapped in the quagmire of fate and unable to escape.

"I have met your second senior brother before, and he has also transcended."

"I think the Yellow Wind Valley before was not an illusion. Please tell me what happened afterwards. Why did it become like this at this time?"

Sha Wujing sighed.

“Everything has a price, including transcendence. Some people’s price is others, some people’s price is themselves, and my price is the future.”

He touched the shattered glass cup.

"I shattered the colored glass lamp, making it impossible for the Heavenly Court to distinguish the complicated future, which also accelerated its destruction."

"Because of their greed, the elaborate plan to obtain the sutra ended in failure. The Heart Sutra was not retrieved, and the fake sutra brought harm to sentient beings."

"After the journey to the west, sentient beings no longer respect the Dharma and the principles of heaven!"

"The powerful demon kings even united to attack the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan Mountain."

"Did the demon kings win?" Tianming asked.

"No, they lost miserably!"

Sha Wujing looked towards the dilapidated Lingxiao Palace.

"It's the same in heaven, everyone lost miserably!"

"We were all wrong, thinking that the spiritual essence of this world is the source of all things and the most useful blessing in the world, but the truth is exactly the opposite!"

Tianming was confused for a moment.

"What do you mean by saying this?"

"I have also absorbed a lot of spiritual essence. I can feel its power, and I also feel that this world is real."

Sha Wujing answered.

"The power of the spirit is real, and this world is real, but it's not the only one!"
