Fantasy: I'll do the hacking, and you'll suffer the side effects!

165: The son of the emperor’s destiny! The fifth of the ten strange things - the Yellow Spring Resurrection Lamp!“Son of Luck?!” Qin Han’s pupils suddenly contracted.

From the very beginning, he had planned to find a new Son of Luck in Golden Scale Que.

After all, the side effect slot was about to reopen, which would allow him to gain more positive multipliers.

However, the System did not react upon his initial arrival, so he was prepared to move on to the next ‘dungeon’ to find a Son of Luck.

But he never expected such sudden good fortune.

“Do not bind temporarily.” Qin Han really wanted to do it now.

However, he didn’t have enough Destiny Points, so he had to torment Lu Wenyuan a bit more.

“Soon, just give me a little more time.” Qin Han excitedly licked his lips, staring intently at the black figure.

“Why can that guy control Yin Soldiers? And why can he walk on the Yellow Springs?” The God-Slaying Stone felt like it had discovered a new continent.

Things that others would avoid, he walked on as if on flat ground.

It was simply incredible.

“He must possess a unique method. Do not underestimate anyone in this world.” Qin Han felt a sense of calm.

An ordinary person certainly couldn’t do it, but who was a Son of Luck?

A Prodigy holding the protagonist’s script; if he didn’t even have this much ability, he would have been used as cannon fodder long ago.

“Oh?” Zhe Yunli called out softly.

“You know him?” Qin Han turned to ask.

“I met him once a year ago. He seems to be an external guest of the Zhe Tian Divine Dynasty.” Zhe Yunli nodded.

“An external Martial Artist?” Qin Han raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, Imperial Father once took me to see him. I heard he was a Martial Artist from a major power.” Zhe Yunli had a deep impression of this.

Because ordinary Martial Artists could not enter a Saint’s Dharma Eye, even top Prodigies had no chance of being personally received by the Divine Lord.

But this unassuming man possessed such ability.

So Zhe Yunli remembered his appearance.

“What exactly is his background?” Qin Han pressed.

“It seems he was said to be the Reincarnation of a great power, but I can’t quite remember.” Zhe Yunli shook her head.

“What?” The God-Slaying Stone was greatly surprised, “The Reincarnation of a Human Emperor or a Saint?”

“Imperial Father did not disclose the specific details.”

“My goodness, I never thought the legend of Reincarnation and Rebirth was actually true, and someone actually achieved it.” The God-Slaying Stone was exceptionally astonished.

In the Archaic Great Thousand World, many great powers whose Lifespan was nearing its end attempted to find ancient secret methods to achieve Reincarnation and Rebirth.

However, the difficulty was comparable to becoming an Emperor, and successful cases were exceedingly rare.

At least, the successful cases passed down could be counted on one hand.

Even something as bizarre as the burial sky coffin, one of the Ten Archaic Strange Objects, could not achieve it.

At most, it could extend one’s Lifespan slightly, which was negligible for the long years of a great power.

Now, seeing a Reincarnated and Reborn person, how could the God-Slaying Stone not be shocked?

“Is there truly such an Opportunity in this world?”

“The world is vast and full of wonders. Since there is a source, there must be successful individuals.” Qin Han spoke.

“But, why would he appear here?”

This was the most perplexing point for the God-Slaying Stone.

If it was for the Golden Scale Celebration, why would he arrive a year early?

Aside from the ethereal Golden Scale transforming into a Dragon, there were no other significant Opportunities.

For a Human Emperor or a Saint, it wouldn’t even enter their Dharma Eye.

“Could it be that there’s a treasure he needs within the Yellow Springs?” The God-Slaying Stone speculated.

But then it thought again and felt that this didn’t make sense.

“No, how would he know the Yellow Springs would appear?”

Throughout the history of the Golden Scale Celebration, cases of offending the River God were common.

There had also been many instances of clan annihilation.

But the appearance of the Yellow Springs was a first, it could be said to be unprecedented.

“Right, how did he know?” Zhe Yunli tilted her head, her willow-like brows furrowed.

“Could it be that he possesses the art of deduction? Can he peer into heavenly secrets?” The God-Slaying Stone boldly speculated.

“How is that possible? The art of deduction is all a trick. If it were truly that powerful, wouldn’t he have become an Emperor long ago?” Qin Han shook his head.

“That’s true.”

The man and the stone racked their brains but couldn’t figure out the answer.

The person before them was simply too mysterious.

Aside from his identity as an external guest of the Zhe Tian Divine Dynasty, there was no other information.

However, at this moment, a Martial Artist from the Senluo Divine Kingdom, seeing someone walking on the Yellow Springs, looked at them with suspicion for a few moments before also attempting to step onto it.

“Don’t move!” Wu De quickly tried to dissuade him.

After stepping onto the Yellow Springs, that person felt as if he was stepping on soft, bouncy jelly, and surprisingly, he didn’t sink.

“It seems like you really can step on it.” The Martial Artist tried taking two steps and found that nothing terrifying happened.

Originally, the river water could corrode everything, but now it seemed as if this function had been turned off.

“Could it be because of the night?” Wu De wondered.

Suddenly, a humanoid skeleton extended its hand and, without any hindrance, grabbed the person’s arms.

The next moment, the yellow flames in its eye sockets erupted with a bizarre aura, instantly draining all of the person’s life essence.

“Plop!”

The corpse fell backward powerlessly, sinking into the riverbed in a flash, emitting a puff of green smoke.

The air became utterly silent, quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

One moment he was showing off his achievement, the next he was gone without a trace.

How could such a change not alarm everyone? It was the first time they had witnessed such a bizarre event.

“Gulp!”

At this moment, a Divine Palace Realm Martial Artist beside Wu De swallowed his saliva, breaking the silence.

“Daoist, where exactly is the sliver of hope you spoke of?”

“Don’t panic. Let Daoist Master calculate it properly.” Wu De quickly reached out and began to calculate with his fingers.

Wherever the Yin Soldiers passed, all living beings were their nourishment.

Tens of thousands of Yin Soldiers marched grandly, the scene so magnificent it struck fear into the heart.

Luo Mou, amidst the corpses, noticed the movement behind him and a mocking curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

“Why isn’t he targeted by the Yin Soldiers?” The God-Slaying Stone was very confused.

Qin Han looked at the lantern he was carrying and said, “What he’s holding is very likely a Strange Object.”

“Could it be the huangquan still soul lamp, ranked fifth among the Ten Strange Objects?” The God-Slaying Stone asked.

“Exactly. If it’s that item, then everything makes sense.” Qin Han nodded slightly.

The huangquan still soul lamp can gather the Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits of living beings, and it can also scatter them.

Gathering souls is inherently beyond logic, but a Strange Object can achieve it.

This item ranks even higher than the burial sky coffin on the Ten Strange Objects list, and it’s perfectly suited for this place.

“If what he’s holding is the real thing, then he can indeed sever souls, making the Yin Soldiers think he’s one of them.” The God-Slaying Stone said.

“A Strange Object?” Qin Han’s eyes narrowed.

He could now guess this guy’s origin.

The so-called Reincarnation of a great power was just a gimmick to mislead people.

A year in advance; foreknowledge of the Yellow Springs; holding a Strange Object…

The buffs were fully stacked.

He had read so many novels in his previous life that he could figure it out with his toes.

This person was not from the past, but from the future.

He had already died once and was Reborn, knowing about major events happening in various places.

He also knew how to obtain treasures and successfully arrived first.

And a year ago was a crucial point in time.

“His target must be the Kunpeng Nest!”
