Chapter 1242: Chapter 1210: Kings Gather, Hidden Families!

The Purple-Golden Fate manifesting across the sky enveloped Xiao Chen, and upon the ancient Desolate Lands, flames flickered wildly with figures swaying unsteadily within.

Their dance was not graceful, rather clumsy and rugged, exuding a primitive and ancient roughness.

Elderly figures danced before the flames, casting scattered shadows that swayed, and Xiao Chen could even hear some obscure incantations near his ears.

With such incantations, he saw on the Human Realm of the primordial Desolate Lands, Purple Gas beginning to disperse.

"What is this?"

Xiao Chen’s eyes held a trace of stagnation as he discovered that the Purple Gas he currently sensed was slightly different from the Purple Gas of his era—it was a spirit, an intention.

It appeared that the gathered human fate in these ancient Desolate Lands was exceptionally pure, yet by Xiao Chen’s time, other elements had mixed into this fate-intended will, but despite exerting his will to the extreme, Xiao Chen could not discern what had been added!

Situated in the time-space of Desolate Lands, his vision piercing through the firelight, not knowing how many eons back, the ancient forebears before Xiao Chen grew increasingly clear, their elderly eyes emanating a shred of piety as they prayed.

"Why is it like this?"

At this moment, the perplexity in Xiao Chen’s heart thickened. Within the same heaven and earth, across different eras, the will belonging to the human race subtly differed.

"The Dao of Fate arises from the populace of the human tribes, and is meant to protect the tribal people, born from the collective thoughts of all beings. Could it be that the human race, after countless years of proliferation, has undergone changes!"

While Xiao Chen was engrossed in such thoughts, atop the entire Sacrificial Altar, the Purple-Golden Radiance flourished greatly; within the Border Wasteland Fate Divine Cauldron, endless purple-golden fate continuously erupted, rolling tumultuously.

"Thirteen pieces!"

Staring fiercely at the now-formed purple-golden Crystal in mid-air, the Heaven Cassia King wore a look of shock, and not just him—even the nearby Heavenly Blade King gasped in surprise.

"There’s more!"

Buzz!

Following the gasp, another streak of light burst from the Border Wasteland Divine Cauldron, continuously coiling in the Void, eventually condensing into a purple Crystal Stone!

The fourteenth piece!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Yet, the Border Wasteland Divine Cauldron did not cease, spewing purple-golden light into the Void, finally materializing piece by piece of purple fate Crystals atop the Sky Vault!

Eighteen pieces!

At this moment, the three sovereigns exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a wry smile—eighteen pieces of Fate Crystals, a full eighteen pieces!

The number was already on par with the total of their Southern Domain’s four King-level Tribes; the Gu Yuan Tribe actually had such concentrated fate!

The four King-level Tribes of the Southern Domain of the Eastern Wasteland, naturally interconnected, had an understanding among the divisions. When the tribes initially advanced, the Fate Crystals gathered were no secret among the four sovereigns!

Among these, the Heaven Cassia King Division gathered the most Fate Crystals, totaling six. Following closely was the Heavenly Blade King Division with five, the Heavenly Wave King Division with four, and lastly, the Heavenly Moon Division with three.

From the number of Fate Crystals, one could gauge the fate and strength development of each division, and now the Gu Yuan Tribe alone had amassed Fate Crystals equaling the total of those four King-level Tribes.

This did not indicate that the fate of the Gu Yuan Tribe was flourishing, matching the sum of their four King-level Tribes side by side—how could this not astonish the several sovereigns!

Buzz!

The next moment, from the Border Wasteland Divine Cauldron, another Purple-Gold Divine Light shot into the sky!

There’s more!

At this moment, the three sovereigns couldn’t help but stiffen!

However, almost simultaneously, originally immersed in the vast Purple Light, Xiao Chen, who had been lost in the ancient Desolate Era, awoke, his eyes retaining a hint of shock, and even a trace of terror deep within his pupils.

He seemed to have discovered something, but it was not something he could discern at this time; he could only suppress it deep within his heart!

This glint of terror reflected deeply within his pupils was almost instantly suppressed by Xiao Chen, his gaze shifting to the canopy above, seeing nineteen pieces of crystal clear as Purple Jade, emitting an intoxicatingly colorful light.

"Collect!"

Immediately after, Xiao Chen shouted loudly, and between heaven and earth, Purple Light shone brilliantly. The nineteen Fate Crystals, aligned mid-air, under his command, inhaled and converged their radiant aura into the most ordinary of Purple Jade!

"Seal!"

The next moment, the nineteen pieces of Purple Jade fell back into the Border Wasteland Divine Cauldron, sealed by the spell Xiao Chen cast!

Xiao Chen’s action made the sovereigns reveal a trace of confusion; Fate Crystals were indeed advancements for the tribe to King-level, a gathering of the tribal collective will descending as Purple Gas, similarly each tribe imbuing their unique aura into the Fate Crystals.

Even if others took them, without the recognition of the tribe, these Fate Crystals could not be utilized, possibly even producing the opposite effect!

And the way to obtain Fate Crystals was indeed to gain the tribe’s approval—an essential for their true usage.

Yet Xiao Chen had the Fate Crystals sealed back into the Border Wasteland Divine Cauldron, and following its settling down, it submerged into the Ancient City, leaving many puzzled if Xiao Chen did not understand the properties of Fate Crystals, still guarding them as such.

In fact, they did not know that what Xiao Chen cared about was not these—nineteen pieces of Fate Crystals, equivalent to nineteen pieces of King Material, even more precious than King Material!
