Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

“Since I have nothing else to do, I came to admire the snow. Since you two are here, you can accompany me to admire the scenery.”

“Yes, husband.”

Luo Lin is a foodie. When they were admiring the scenery, they even instructed the servants to bring the stove over and roast meat and cook wine. Shen Ping smiled and opened the Pupil of Flame Beast to check the fate of his wife and concubine within five years.

He already knows everything. But this time, he raised his eyebrows slightly. In the fourth year, he actually arranged for his wife and concubine to be sent to a neighboring country. This had never appeared in his previous observations.

Although fate was constantly changing, even if one observed every day, their experiences in the next five years would not be exactly the same, they were roughly the same. After all, the direction of everyone’s fate would not change without any special interference. It was obvious that there were unknown factors interfering with the changes in his wife and concubine.

And to be able to interfere with an existence at his level, his strength was definitely not low. He might even be a chess player like him.

That’s right.

Shen Ping had long known that the level of using and pushing these two fates was called chess. This kind of chess was a competition between the fates of all living beings. Whether he could reach the level of change still depended on his own methods.

Now, there was another one. Not only did he not feel angry, but he also looked interested. Fighting with others was endlessly fun. If there was really the same chess master, then he would have a deeper understanding of fate during the game.

“From the last observation until now, it has only been a few months. In other words, in these four to five months, something happened in the entire Yun Nation that I didn’t know about. Or rather, what I did in Lingzhou made some people in the royal court of the Yun Nation unhappy. But it only fermented in the fourth year, which means that these things are still in the dark.”

He was glad he could see the future. Otherwise, it would be too passive.

After admiring the snowy scenery, Shen Ping arrived at the Yang Residence. The changes that had happened in Lingzhou City in the past few years were not small. The strategy of benefiting the people had also affected the interests of many influential people, including his father-in-law. However, due to Shen Ping’s relationship, his father-in-law could only endure it. Even the other two families were the same.

“It’s rare for the director to come to my Yang residence. It’s really an honor to have you here!” Patriarch Yang said with a smile.

However, Shen Ping could hear the dissatisfaction in his words. It’s normal. Anyone would be dissatisfied. Although the benefits were not too much, he was really displeased by the act of using a knife on his family.

They exchanged a few pleasantries.

Shen Ping took a sip of tea and asked, “Father-in-law, if someone in the royal court wants to take me down, what method will they use?”

Patriarch Yang was stunned. “Someone in the royal court wants to take you down?”

“Not yet. But it could happen,” Shen Ping said casually.

Patriarch Yang heaved a sigh of relief. “Although your actions in Lingzhou have made the people rich, your methods are still a little harsh. You are the director of the government office, and the taxes in Lingzhou are sufficient every year. Moreover, they keep rising. Ordinary memorials don’t hurt or itch, and the Monarch doesn’t care, but it’s limited to Lingzhou.”

Shen Ping understood. He was the director of the Official’s Office, and he was in charge of all matters in Lingzhou. No matter how much trouble he caused, it was his duty. In addition, he had resisted the large-scale invasion of the Yan Kingdom a few years ago. The credit was there, but if he interfered in other states, he would be easily suspected.

His original plan was to gradually influence the nearby prefectures from Lingzhou, then influence the Yun Nation and promote the world. He used this method of boiling a frog in warm water to push the world bit by bit and change the fate of all living beings, so that he could grasp the power of fate in one go.

Because the more you change, the power of fate that bursts out becomes stronger when the various rivers of fate converge.

As early as when he killed the dark luminarist, he could feel it. From the looks of it, no matter how small the action was, it would cause a violent backlash. Otherwise, he would not have asked him to arrange for his wife and concubine to leave Yun Country.

This was within Shen Ping’s expectations. Previously, he had carried it out slowly as planned. However, this sudden change made him want to find out who was behind it.

He chatted with Patriarch Yang for a while before he left.

“The eight-star Luminarist in the capital doesn’t have any fate with me. Otherwise, there would have been a violent reaction when I checked with the Pupil of Flame Beast. Therefore, it’s very likely that it’s an external force. Only eight-star and nine-star Luminarists know about the Longevity Lamp!”

Thinking of this, Shen Ping’s true soul power spread out at an extremely fast speed. It covered the entire Lingzhou City.

There was no aura of an eight-star Luminarist. However, he discovered a few unfamiliar seven-star Luminarists. When he checked with the Pupil of Flame Beast, there was actually a blurry concealment of the heavenly secrets. This alarmed Shen Ping. It was simply unbelievable that it could conceal someone from his strange beast talent.

The background of these unfamiliar seven-star Luminarists was definitely not low. Thus, he secretly left a True Spirit mark on them.

Days passed.

Two years later, he began to use his own methods to interfere with some counties, towns, and villages. The range of his actions was very low. Moreover, every time he pushed, he would use the arrangements of fate in advance and use various methods to transfer those powerful people who would oppose or die naturally.

It went on for several months.

The four seven-star Luminarists marked by the True Spirit Mark made their move. Two of them left the state capital and circled around the Yun Nation before taking a ship from the East Sea to the distant island.

The seven-star luminarist was very cautious. After going through three or four countries, he finally made a long journey into the depths of the desert.

Shen Ping did not chase after him. He had a feeling that there was an incomparably terrifying energy in the depths of the desert. If he followed, even if he had the talent of a strange beast, it would be difficult for him to escape.

…

Deep in the desert, there was a long and gloomy valley. This valley was the Night Valley, and it was also the darkest place in the world. A large number of vengeful spirits kept growing, biting and growing.

The seven-star Luminarist would be instantly devoured by the vengeful spirits here. Only an eight-star Luminarist would have a chance of survival.

The seven-star Luminarist from Lingzhou arrived above the valley. Thick life lamp energy enveloped him and he quickly entered the valley and arrived at the grotto.

“To the Lord of the Night, I followed your instructions and went to the Yun Nation to see the person with the longevity lamp. However, he grew quicker than expected. Now, he’s already at the level of an eight-star life lamp. Moreover, he seems to understand that the advancement of the longevity lamp is affecting the citizens of the Yun Nation.”

The man who was reading a book looked up and said, “Interesting. If I remember correctly, the longevity lamp of the Yun Nation has only been born for a few years. To be able to grow to this extent in such a short period of time, it seems to be a variable.” He narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant Yun Nation. His pupils were like the Eye of Fate, reflecting everything in the entire Yun Country in his eyes. “It’s been a long time since there were any variables in the world… Well, make some arrangements, we have to let him experience more hardships.”

“Yes, Lord of the Night.”

After his subordinate left, the Lord of the Night retracted his gaze and looked at the longevity lamp souls. “There are 87 of them. Soon, I’ll reach them!”

…

Just now, Shen Ping suddenly felt his heart palpitate, as if he had been instantly seen through. If not for the fact that there was no danger, his true soul power would have responded. “As expected, just as I guessed, the one in the depths of the desert might very well be the final fate. Or the end of all fateful arrangements for the longevity lamp.”

At this point, he was no longer the same person who had just descended into this world. He had continuously used the power of destiny to deal with many people, and there was very little rebound power. Naturally, his understanding of the power of destiny became deeper and deeper, and he could vaguely sense his fate.
