Chapter 436: The Awakened Destiny
"One day, when the golden mark on your body completely awakens, the power that once belonged to you will once again be awakened..."
In front of Lu Yao, the little girl spoke with excitement. From the looks of it, the more she spoke, the more excited she became. "When that time comes, the power that belonged to my king will once again appear, and you will become the most powerful person in this world."
"The most powerful... person..."
Lu Yao listened to the little girl's words, and was a little absent-minded, couldn't fully react to it. After a long while, she finally regained her senses and shook her head. "I'm not the most powerful person, and I've never thought of it before… I just want... to live a peaceful life..."
She spoke softly, expressing the deepest thoughts in her heart. Whether to be the strongest in the world or once the Golden King, these things were not important to Lu Yao.
All she wanted all along was an ordinary and upward-moving life - to have a warm family, her own small business, a memorable love in the future, get married and have children before she dies.
This was her hope for the future, to live a happy and ordinary life, and all of this was right in front of her eyes. Everything around her was slowly getting better, and she had now lived the life she had always dreamed of.
She was very satisfied with her life and had no dissatisfaction, but it was just that life was often like this. When she was gradually satisfied with her life and became contented, an accident happened.
She didn't care about the Golden King or the Golden Mark. After all, even though the little girl's words sounded extremely powerful and terrifying, they weren't convincing. If the Golden King was that powerful, why did he end up being hunted down and even reincarnated?
As the invincible Golden King, if it was really, as what the little girl said, was the most powerful existence in the world, why would it be like this? The same goes for other aspects.
And even if the so-called Golden King was as powerful as the little girl said, how could Lu Yao guarantee that she was the reincarnation of that Golden King?
Perhaps the so-called Golden Mark on her body was not the reincarnation of the so-called Golden King, but something dangerous instead. That powerful Golden King might have been reborn in her body at some point, using her body to revive.
There were all kinds of possibilities.
In the past, a great man once said that one must always speculate others with the greatest malice. However, now, facing this situation, how could Lu Yao guarantee that what the little girl said was true? What should she do if everything she said was not true but a lie?
An indescribable sense of loss shrouded her heart, making her feel a little repulsed at this moment, unwilling to accept such a fate.
"I am just an ordinary girl. I only want to live the life that an ordinary girl should have. I have never been a Golden King!"
Finally, she spoke her thoughts.
However, the little girl sighed as she heard the words and said, "I know that Your Highness is still unable to accept it."
"In the previous few times, you have also been like this, unwilling to accept the reality, but now, the situation is very dangerous. The Golden Mark has awakened your body. This is something that not only I but many people can detect. Now, in this world, I'm afraid that a large number of people have already come for you and are prepared to capture you and offer you to your former enemy."
Standing opposite Lu Yao, the little girl sighed and said, "Of course, you can continue to live your ordinary, peaceful life, but if that's the case, when one day, your former enemy comes for you, what would you use to stop him? At that time, I'm afraid that not only you but even your elder brother and your parents would be implicated because of you..."
"What did you say?"
Hearing the little girl's words, Lu Yao's face instantly turned pale. She did not expect that things had already reached such a degree.
The Golden Mark had awakened on her body. He was not only known by the former subordinates of the Golden King, but even the former enemies of the Golden King could feel it, and once they sensed it, what awaited her would probably be an endless hunt. It might not even be just herself, just like what the little girl in front of her had said.
If it came to that point, not only her but even her friends, her brother, and her parents would become tools for those people to threaten her and capture her. As a result, they would suffer an undeserved calamity.
And this was exactly what Lu Yao could not accept. She wanted to say something, but then she stopped.
"What should I do..."
In the end, she leaned against the wall behind her, didn't know what to do.
The little girl also sighed, and after a long while, she said hesitantly, "My King, don't be afraid. Your body contains the power of the Golden Mark. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can gradually gain back the power of the former Golden King. By that time, no one will be your match, and you won't have to worry about other people's threats because you can protect your family."
"Is that so..."
Lu Yao sighed and could only nod and say, "At this point, it seems that this is the only way.
"From now on, I, Ye Zi, will teach you!"
The little girl was extremely happy when she heard Lu Yao's words as if she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The two of them chatted for a while in the bathroom, then they walked out and came to the outside world. Her parents were already sitting at the dining table in the living room. Chen Heng was sitting on the sofa, seemed to have finished eating.
Seeing Lu Yao and the little puppy walking out of the bathroom, Chen Heng turned around as if he sensed something and glanced at them.
"This inexplicable unique aura..."
Chen Heng fell into deep thought and was a little puzzled.
'The aura is not quite the same as before… That dog... doesn't seem normal…'
That puppy seemed to be the same as before but looked a lot cuter and very likable because it had been washed clean. However, based on Chen Heng's senses, this puppy's aura seemed to be somewhat unusual.
It was not the external aura and spiritual fluctuations, both the aura and spiritual fluctuations of this puppy were very normal as if it was an ordinary puppy.
What made Chen Heng feel uneasy was the sense above the true spirit. From the body of this puppy, he vaguely felt a shadow spreading out as if there was something different that made people feel surprised. However, what exactly was it?
Chen Heng secretly frowned as various thoughts flashed through his mind while sitting on the sofa. In addition, there was also the situation with Lu Yao. From the moment she returned home just now, Lu Yao's behavior was somewhat unusual, as if she had been stimulated by something and seemed to be in a daze.
What exactly had happened to cause her to become like this? Instinctively, Chen Heng felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find an answer.
'Something's wrong…'
Chen Heng suddenly raised his head. In his body, an inexplicable feeling appeared. It was a unique power that had been dormant in his true spirit until now. It seemed to have been triggered by something and was immediately awakened.
This unique power was none other than the Mark of Destiny!
This power belonged to what Chen Heng once obtained in a certain world. It was unique as it could be used to peek into the power of destiny and take a peek at the future trajectory of destiny. It could even tamper with the destiny of others to achieve various purposes.
In the beginning, this power gave Chen Heng a lot of help and even allowed him to see through the truth of the original world and escape from that illusory world. However, as time passed, when Chen Heng came to the world of Gods, the power of the Mark of Destiny fell silent, not because of anything else, but it was just conflicting with the world's rules.
Although the power of the world of Gods accepted all external things, it would also suppress the power of the outside world to a certain extent. Hence, after Chen Heng entered the world of Gods, the Mark of Destiny was silent and seemed to be undergoing some sort of transformation to adapt to the power of the world of Gods and the unique world laws.
It was only at this moment that the power within the true spirit seemed to have been triggered by some sort of existence and was awakened, and the source of the trigger seemed was none other than the existence before him.
"Since that's the case..."
Chen Heng's expression was calm, as he felt the resuscitation of the Mark of Destiny in his body. Then, he turned around, and the field of vision in front of him began to change under his gaze.
Everything that was originally clear began to become hazy, and the surrounding space began changing into a different appearance. The original disguise of the world was gradually removed, and then a brand new scene appeared before Chen Heng's eyes.
A faint purple color appeared, and the source of the purple was none other than his body's younger sister, Lu Yao.
At that moment, Lu Yao was sitting at the side, holding the puppy that had just been washed, looking as if she was in a daze.
