Chapter 675 Fate

As soon as we had picked out the items, the ground began to shake again, and a large door suddenly appeared on the side.

"It's time to leave here!" I said slowly, then stepped towards the door.

Shen Zhi followed.

We walked out of the door and found ourselves by the sea.

Behind us was a large mountain.

Looking back, I found that there was no door at all, and everything that had happened before seemed like a dream.

But both of us were carrying a lot of things, which meant that everything that had happened before was not fake.

"Are you out?" a voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

"Senior..." I knew it was Yu Lao's voice.

To be honest, when we were in danger, I did complain about Yu Lao in my heart.

The reason was simple: under normal circumstances, I shouldn't have experienced those dangers, and if he had warned me beforehand, I wouldn't have been so disheveled.

But after seeing that scene later, my complaints had long since disappeared.

"It looks like you've had a good harvest..." Yu Lao said with a smile, "Do you want to ask why I didn't notify you in advance?"

"I can understand..." I said with a smile, "Under those circumstances, it could train me to the greatest extent..."

"That's all nonsense..." Yu Lao seemed a little angry, "Training or anything else, you can't gamble with your life..."

"Then what happened?" I was a little confused.

"From the moment you entered the door, I couldn't contact you at all..." Yu Lao said.

"Then where exactly is that place?" After hesitating, I still asked.

"That is the last hope for cultivators..." Yu Lao said.

"Can I know what the situation is?" I asked.

"Of course!" Yu Lao said.

"When the heavenly tribulation arrived, all of us cultivators knew what awaited us. At that time, there were many choices: we could face the Heavenly Dao directly, or we could choose to hide. Many people like me chose to hide..."

"But even more people chose to face the Heavenly Dao directly!"

"It was precisely because of this that the subsequent war of annihilation occurred!" Yu Lao said.

I knew what the war of annihilation meant. If nothing unexpected happened, what I had seen before was the scene after the great battle.

It was imaginable how bloody and cruel that great battle was.

Not to mention the cultivators hanging on the pillars, just the broken arms on the ships on the ground and the blood everywhere were enough to show how many people lost their lives here.

Even so, the cultivators at that time still charged forward without hesitation, choosing to fight.

To be honest, if you asked people now to do this, it would be impossible.

What people lack now is not courage, but hatred.

"Before that great war, everyone had made their final preparations, and the worst-case preparations. If all of us cultivators were wiped out at that moment, we had to give the later generations some hope..."

"So we collected the most famous martial arts, weapons, and high-quality pills at that time and stored them in that place. Those things were enough to make a sect rise again!"

"As long as someone is a cultivator, we must help them grow step by step. Although we don't know what awaits them in the end, that is still our hope..."

Hearing this, I was a little confused: "Do you just trust that this place of hope will be discovered?"

"There are thousands of years of reincarnation in the world, and everyone has various things in their lives and various accidents. There will always be a fated person in this world who discovers this place, and then rediscovers everything here. At that time, that glimmer of hope will take effect, and that is what we hope to see!"

Hearing this, I was slightly shocked.

To be honest, I never expected things to turn out this way.

"To put it in simpler terms, everyone has their own destiny. Every step they take, every word they speak, every action they do, and every choice they make is already arranged by fate. The fated person will eventually discover this place, and this is also destined!" Yu Lao's voice was exceptionally calm.

Hearing this, I finally understood why I was able to discover this place.

It turned out that I should be the fated person they spoke of. In other words, discovering this place, meeting these people, and doing these things were all destined.

But I believe the outcome is not necessarily destined.

The reason is very simple.

If everything about me was destined, then the existence of the Heavenly Dao would be meaningless.

If killing the Heavenly Dao was a destined event, it wouldn't have required so many people to sacrifice so many lives...
