Chapter 803 Prophecy
When Princess Su Luoli was brought to Lin Rui's presence again, twelve platinum sun wheels were hanging high in the dome of the majestic Great Ming Hall. Pure white fire flowed in each of the light crowns, illuminating the entire space like a kingdom of God.

The sacred fire of the altar at the back of the temple shot straight into the sky, and the prayers of 7.2 million priests echoed in this underground farm like a tide, making the pure sacred power of this huge underground space surge like a huge wave.

When Su Luoli stepped into the Daming Hall, she saw that in this huge hall, only the Lord of Light and the Holy Mother of Light were present.

Lin Rui sat upright on the throne of light. Yuanshi Tianlong transformed into a small dragon and coiled around his neck. The nine pairs of galaxy light wings of the man and the dragon were slightly retracted. The golden sun crown on his head shone with dazzling brilliance, appearing sacred and inviolable.

Su Luoli really wanted to see the face of the Lord of Light clearly.

Now many people want to know who this person's alter ego is, including her.

Currently, people only know that his true form is 'Lin Rui'. The statue of the Supreme Being circulated within the Bright King Cult is also based on Lin Rui's appearance, but no one knows who this alternate form is. Based on the existing intelligence, we can only judge that this person is a high-ranking figure in a certain country, so his identity is not to be made public.

Some people previously judged it to be Lin Hao, the regent of the Song Dynasty, but the Changsheng Society's several attempts were fruitless.

Su Luoli had recently learned through secret information that during the battle of gods on Huangshan Island, the Great Astronomical Master of Dongzhou had been monitoring Lin Hao.

However, Lin Hao was working in the Governor's Mansion of Star Harbor at that time. It was said that his blood, qi, and soul power fluctuations were all normal.

This is definitely not something that can be achieved by ordinary illusions. There are no more than three people in the world who can do this. The rest cannot be hidden from the Great Astronomical Master of Dongzhou.

So what is the identity of this alien?
Unfortunately, her gaze could not penetrate the holy white light surrounding Lin Rui.

Su Luoli used her mind a little and felt the flesh and blood of her eyes deformed, and her soul felt a sharp pain, and it was about to collapse and disintegrate.

At the same time, she also sensed the god's pressure and displeasure.

"The little demon Su Luoli from Purgatory pays homage to the Lord of Light!"

Su Luoli quickly retracted her gaze and knelt respectfully in the Great Hall: "Congratulations, Your Highness, on your great victory in the Battle of Huangshan Island. This marks another step forward in your destiny—"

Lin Rui couldn't help but narrow his eyes, staring intently at the woman below who had an enchanting figure and a lazy temperament.

The woman's posture seemed submissive and her tone was respectful, but the words she used were full of sarcasm.

He smiled casually and got straight to the point: "You said before that you knew the location of that star map master, right? And what about this 'Kingdom of Truth'? As far as I know, the Supreme Celestial Venerable has never built a kingdom of truth. And from the sound of you, it seems you know a lot? Tell me in detail!"

The so-called 'Star Map Master' is the title of the Ten Realms Astrologer.

Its real name is no longer traceable, and people all call it "Star Map".

"The true light lies beyond the heavens, in the realm of the void, beyond pain and despair. This is the prophecy of the ancient master of the star map."

Su Luoli said in a leisurely voice: "Xingtu is a rare Tenth Realm Astrologer in the world. However, any true top-level Astrologer knows that people like them, like those priests, will never be able to enter the Tenth Realm of Immortality in their lifetime.

While they observe the stars, they are also observed by the stars and the abyss. Their souls are too deeply influenced by external forces. Without a special opportunity, their chances of entering the realm of immortality are slim.

Su Luoli paused and raised her head again.

At this moment, her pupils had completely mutated, looking like two slowly rotating gears, with scarlet runes engraved on the tips of the teeth, as if meshing the fate of all living beings.

"There are indeed some stargazers in this world who have reached the Tenth Realm. Every ten thousand years, there are always two or three people who do so. However, they have never passed down their breakthrough methods to future generations. Three years ago, I also searched for star maps, seeking a breakthrough method—"

"Wait a minute!" Lin Rui asked in surprise, "Are you an astrologer?"

Su Luoli raised her eyebrows and said, "I can observe the stars, and I believe that my ability is not inferior to the five great astronomical masters! But I have never observed the stars before. I am afraid that my future path will be cut off and I will not be able to achieve immortality. But even so, I feel that my future path to immortality will be extremely difficult. This is also deeply related to the power I possess.

My bloodline power, combined with the concept of 'destiny' I've cultivated, allows me to glimpse the threads of some people's fates. Therefore, when I met Master Starchart in the past, I was able to glimpse some of his background."

She looked at Lin Rui meaningfully. "In my eyes, he's like a puppet in a puppet show, controlled by countless strings, unable to move on his own. The source of these strings is untraceable, and I dare not delve into it. Your Highness, your situation with the Holy Mother is not much different from that of hers."

The invincible Dharma King Li Weiliang, who was sitting next to Lin Rui, frowned slightly and clenched his fists.

When it comes to fate being manipulated, she feels it the most deeply.

Li Weiliang always felt that he was being controlled by countless silk threads and moving forward.

Lin Rui's reaction was indifferent, and he looked at Su Luoli with a hint of sarcasm and deep meaning.

The delicate face of the 'Fate-Weaving Concubine' trembled suddenly. "Indeed, my power is not enough to glimpse Your Highness's fate, but I can see a little bit of the fate of Her Majesty. As for the Tenth Realm Astrologer, he must have taken the initiative to show it to me. He also gave me guidance on the subsequent path of cultivation, which was of great help to me."

Lin Rui then stopped sneering and thought to himself that this was right. The Star Map Master was a tenth-level astrologer with 3800 years of experience. With Su Luoli's level of cultivation, could she foresee that person's fate?

So this star map master is actually also controlled by the Lord of Destiny?
Or maybe the key for an Astrologer to advance to the Tenth Level Astrologer is the Lord of Destiny?
He narrowed his eyes. "Did he want to use you to convey a message to me? Tell me, what were his exact words? Don't change a single word."

Su Luoli's face was solemn. "He wants me to find the true 'light' after it appears in the world and convey the last three sentences of the prophecy - 'When the light shines on the world, the Kingdom of Truth will bloom in the destined flower of flesh and blood and welcome its eternal master'!"

Lin Rui was stunned when he heard this: "In other words, the Kingdom of Truth you mentioned doesn't exist yet? Is this prophecy from the Star Chart itself, or from the Lord of Fate?"

"I don't know!" Su Luoli said expressionlessly, "But the day I visited the star map was exactly three years ago. On that day, almost all the astrologers predicted the destruction of the Tianji world, a future shrouded in despair and pain, and devoured by the root.

I had been searching for the Master of the Star Chart for a long time but to no avail. But on the day of my doom, the Master of the Star Chart suddenly appeared before me and told me to tell you to be careful of the Lord of Fate! " Lin Rui seemed lost in thought, thinking that if this prophecy was made by the Star Chart, then the ability of this Tenth Realm Astrologer must be extraordinary.

Not only did this person foresee the existence of "light" three years ago, he also arranged for "Fate-Weaving Concubine" Su Luoli to deliver a message to him. Not only did he plot against the abyss, but he also really had some power to predict fate.

Lin Rui didn't believe that this astrologer could predict with incredible accuracy that he would become the Lord of Light.

——The so-called "light" may be him, or it may be the resurrected Great Sun Lord, or the seventh generation leader.

Of course, everything the star map does may be arranged by the Lord of Destiny, and it is difficult to determine whether it is true or false.

Lin Rui immediately gathered his thoughts. "Is that all? Master Star Map didn't tell you what exactly the Lord of Fate is planning? What is the current situation of this deity? In what form and identity does He exist in the world now?"

Su Luoli shook her head silently. Master Star Map did not say this to her.

She didn't dare listen to what the star map said, and even if she did, she didn't dare remember it.

But then her expression shifted slightly. "Oh, right, there was a book from the Demonic Federation in front of Master Starchart. I later looked it up and realized it was a Western Bible for you Earthlings. It tells the story of Adam being tempted by a serpent and disobeying God's command to eat the forbidden fruit. I have no idea what the moral of this is, absolutely no idea!"

"The snake and the forbidden fruit?"

Lin Rui held his chin with his fingers and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "Stand back. I will have someone give you a piece of dragon skin paper of the Tenth Realm later. Draw the Star Map Master you saw and his thread of destiny on it. I will allow you to take refuge under my wings. When the time is right, I will help you achieve immortality!"

Su Luoli's expression suddenly brightened up. This was what she wanted. It was the reward for delivering the message for the star map.

"Luo Li thanks Your Highness!" She looked even more respectful, kowtowed deeply to Lin Rui, and then left the hall.

Just as Su Luoli was leaving the door, her expression shifted slightly. She couldn't help but look back at Lin Rui with curiosity and confusion, "Your Highness doesn't seem angry at all. The so-called Great Sun Dyeing, your parents' experiences, the torture your two sisters endured, and even your current position as a deity, were all carefully designed by that person. Don't you resent this controlled life?"

Li Weiliang's fingertips suddenly sank deeply into his palm, and blood dripped through his fingers.

Her mind seemed to be split by thunder, and she suddenly remembered the scene of that night twenty-two years ago when she cut open the baby's skull and separated Lin Rui's soul.

That very night, she made a deal with someone whose face was unclear.

Li Weiliang tried hard to recall this person, but felt a sharp pain in his head.

When she cut open the baby's skull and implanted an artificial soul, she sent a strand of silver-like thread into Lin Rui's soul core.

The image of those silver-white threads colliding violently with the sun source in the cradle pierced her mind like a sharp blade.

Lin Rui laughed, his voice as calm as the deep sea: "Why should I hate? Without the help of this Lord of Fate, how could I have the chance to become a god?"

He gazed out from the distance at the Great Hall. "This prince manipulated the power of 'sure hit', allowing me to maintain the upper hand in the battle with the Burning God Hub, ultimately forcing the latter into the Devouring Lord's trap. He also used the power of 'probability' to cause the blood river of the Hope Heavenly Venerable to flow back upon him. Even the sword slashed by the Supreme Heavenly Venerable at the Sun was the result of a 'cause' planted by him 350,000 years ago. Even the Dream Heavenly Venerable was unknowingly used by him. His divine might and power are truly feared."

Spider-web-like cracks began to appear on the temple floor tiles beneath Lin Rui, which were caused by the distorted time.

During the time he was talking to Su Luoli, Lin Rui had been using his power to cut through time and space and sever cause and effect.

Lin Rui's holy lightning fire flowed from his pupils. "But don't think too highly of this person. If he can truly control everyone's fate and is omnipotent, then why would His Highness need to hide in the dark? He should have resurrected the Supreme Lord long ago, or achieved his true purpose.

The reason why I was able to replace the Sun and become the Lord of Light was indeed the result of his layout and taking advantage of the situation. But to say that he can control everything and control my destiny is too exaggerated. It's just like what you said, the astrologer observes the abyss and the stars, but is also observed by the abyss and the stars. The Lord of Destiny controls our destiny, but is also affected by our destiny.

My existence is the result of countless coincidences and inevitabilities. The Lord of Fate may have paved a path for me, but the ultimate choice is in my hands. The future is by no means static. I will follow this path until I find my own answer.

Su Luoli frowned, then bowed again with a serious expression and left the Daming Hall.

She felt that although this Lord of Light possessed an extraordinary character and courage, he was somewhat arrogant and was beginning to get carried away.

But it doesn't matter, as long as this person can keep his promise and help her ascend to the tenth realm of immortality.

After Su Luoli left, Li Weiliang frowned and looked at Lin Rui, "Rui'er, this Lord of Destiny has been very kind to you and me, but if Su Luoli's words are true, then we must be on guard. This person is not only wise and profound, but also powerful and treacherous. He is even more difficult to predict than the Dreamy Heavenly Venerable. You must be extremely cautious!"

Unfortunately, the memories she recovered were very few, and she could hardly recall any information about the Lord of Life, so she could not help Lin Rui.

Are the fates of himself and Lin Rui under the control of this Lord of Fate?
She clenched the Seven Illusions Sky Feathers tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"I know." Lin Rui thought of the Supreme Heavenly Venerable who had disappeared from the Throne of Truth. He frowned, his eyes filled with anticipation. "However, we have too little information right now, and this is just her own opinion. We can't ignore it, nor can we trust it blindly. For now, we can only remain calm and try to accumulate as much strength as possible to cope with the situation. Mom, no matter what, I am now qualified to play chess with him. The Lord of Destiny gave me a starting point, but the end point will be defined by you and me."

As long as there is an orderly world, there will be various forms of constraints. Who can be truly free?

So what if they were used as chess pieces? If the pieces were heavy enough, they could even crush the hand of the player holding them!
Only with absolute power can one become the one who makes the rules and thus transcend fate itself.

Li Weiliang stared at Lin Rui in a daze, and she suddenly saw the never-extinguished fire in her son's eyes - that was not light, but the madness of burning destiny itself into firewood after being tempered and beaten thousands of times!

Lin Rui fell into deep thought. Why did the Lord of Life take away the remains of the Supreme Lord of Heaven, but leave behind the Throne of Truth, and the two magical weapons, 'The End of the Ashes' and 'The Thorns of Pain'?
