All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

Chapter 208: Chapter 68: The Altered Destiny

At that moment, it was deep into the night in the Tianyuan Realm.

In the darkness, faint bursts of explosions intermittently sounded, the aftermath of a distant gunfight unknown to them, arcs of light sprang up from the wilderness and the outskirts of the city, sweeping across the sky, disappearing amidst the clouds and the night wind.

Looking up, gazing at this completely different, even incomprehensible ’alternate world’, both You Ruhui and Granny Huai understood one thing clearly.

—Fate had indeed been altered.

To be honest, both felt a bit awkward, having prepared to handle the crisis in their own way, only to have An Jing take the lead and pull them into another world.

You Ruhui dispelled her Divine Skill, Granny Huai put out her Fate Pattern, and after all silently observed their surroundings, they voiced their fundamental doubts.

"An Jing... what do we do next?"

"The outskirts of this world are rather dangerous, just follow me for now."

For the moment, An Jing couldn’t find any other place and could only take them to a recycling shack.

Speaking of which, although the recycling shack was practically An Jing’s stronghold, Huo Qing didn’t mind hosting An Jing, but bringing strangers over still made him feel a bit inconvenient, troubled for the other party.

"I feel it’s also time to secure a property in the surrounding towns, not to mention a base, at least a place where one can rest independently."

Having been in the Tianyuan Realm for a long time, An Jing knew too well the difficulty of purchasing property in Xuanye City, many residents of Xuanye City rent their whole lives, buying an independent dwelling could cost one’s life savings.

Thus, some people of Xuanye City also chose to buy houses in safe towns around them, waking up early every day to queue for work in the city.

This in turn drove up the prices in the surrounding towns, being a chipless wilderness person, even if one had the money, buying a house was troublesome.

He had to properly consult with someone about this...

Thinking this, as they were not far from the last place they left, An Jing quickly brought the two to the junkyard.

"This place..."

Both You Ruhui and Granny Huai sharply sensed the faint Demonic Qi in the junkyard, they hesitated, but An Jing handed Granny Huai a gas mask: "Don’t worry, although there is some Demonic Qi here, it’s far from corrupting."

"No." You Ruhui was surprised by another aspect, "They’re all remnants of Magic Artifacts, this world..."

You Ruhui could see, the junkyard had barely any household garbage, it was all various discarded creations, piles of Magic Artifacts remnants, and the materials were even Mysterious Iron!

Although Da Chen could also do this, at the foot of Forge God Peak, Iron Hill was made of innumerable weapons and Magic Artifacts remnants... but Scrap Iron Hill was an important strategic resource point for Da Chen, definitely not a real junkyard!

—The Magic Artifacts of this world must be beyond imagination!

She somewhat understood why An Jing had so many Magic Artifacts on her.

Without saying much, You Ruhui remained silent, not wanting to cause trouble for An Jing.

Meanwhile, having other Embracing the Void people as a control group, An Jing could confirm, those of Embracing the Void skilled in crafts could also sensitively perceive the abnormal Demonic Qi in the Tianyuan Realm.

But, they couldn’t sense the surging Demonic Qi of the Embracing the Void Realm.

This could be because they hadn’t undergone Spirit Awakening, but it could also be, an issue with ’Embracing the Void’.

—It’s not a problem with the Demonic Qi, but with the world!

—It’s an issue with the Embracing the Void Realm, not the Heavenly Demon!

After confirming this, An Jing noted it in her heart.

While this was important, it wasn’t the immediate matter to consider.

"Huh? An Jing! You... are you done?"

It was midnight, and the formation was still operating, but the lights in the maintenance hut were still on; Huo Qing must have still been studying hard.

An Jing rang the bell, and soon, Huo Qing opened the door to see An Jing and his group.

He immediately noticed You Ruhui and Granny Huai, whose temperaments were clearly different—so much so that one might even say they did not fit in with the entire Tianyuan Realm.

Although Huo Qing was somewhat naive emotionally, he had still experienced life within a faction; he was certain that, not to mention the veiled young woman who seemed wealthier than any in Xuanye City, even the old lady’s clothes and temperament were definitely not those of any Wilderness dweller.

Truth be told, An Jing was the same, but it was not as noticeable in him, or perhaps he was deliberately hiding it.

—Had they won and rescued the people?

The speed was too fast, wasn’t it? It had only been one day, and it seemed they really had gone through a tough battle, but where on earth had they fought...

"Come in quickly, we have hot water and food."

Although Huo Qing had many thoughts, he did not say much. He opened the life gate of the formation and led the three into the hut.

You Ruhui and Granny Huai also did not say much—they had heard the brief exchange between An Jing and Huo Qing and found out that the languages of the two worlds were similar, almost identical apart from some accents.

But to be cautious, they still only bowed in thanks and did not speak.

"Rest well, we can talk about some things later,"

Once You Ruhui and Granny Huai had settled in, An Jing sat down next to the contemplative Huo Qing.

"Thank you, brother,"

At this point, how could An Jing not thank Huo Qing?

An Jing had brought two figures who might have big trouble behind them (even if the trouble was in another world), and yet Huo Qing had still opened the door without hesitation to help An Jing settle them.

This kind of comradeship, plus the gift of the bulletproof spiritual garment, only meant they were truly brothers now.

"It’s all minor issues."

Though Huo Qing was somewhat worried, he still smiled and said, "However, if there really are formidable pursuers... we don’t have much of a solution here; we won’t be able to hold this place."

"Either we sneak into Xuanye City, or we’ll have to find a town to hide in."

"No worries, there are no pursuers."

An Jing waved his hand. Although Da Chen and the Heavenly Demon were still glaring fiercely, they had no way of following to the Tianyuan Realm: "It’s just that we can’t return to the Wilderness now, and I don’t have a place to stay in the safe zone or the city, which is quite troublesome."

"That is indeed quite problematic."

Huo Qing stroked his chin. Since there were no pursuers, he did not continue to ask An Jing exactly where he had rescued these two people from—gangs and Wilderness tribes, that was everyday stuff; he wasn’t surprised at all.

Huo Qing was just a little worried: "It’s just that, Uncle is about to come back soon, probably by the end of the month—I can help you while I’m here, but he, the old man, might not..."

—Might he not be so easy to talk to?

An Jing did not want to trouble Huo Qing every time, but Huo Qing had already proven he was a good friend, a good brother, so An Jing could confide in him about many things: "Hmm, that is indeed a problem... but I do have an idea."

"As a Wilderness person, I can’t buy a house. But, I have good deeds."

"How about this, you provide the identity, and I provide the money, and we partner to buy a house somewhere? That way, it is also convenient for me to store supplies on a regular basis, and subsequent cooperation will be simpler."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Qing was somewhat astonished, raising his hand to point at himself: "Me? Although I indeed have a new identity recently, I only have a few hundred good deeds in savings, I’m afraid I can’t afford it..."

"You don’t need to contribute much money." An Jing shook his head, emphasizing, "I’ll provide the good deeds; I just need your identity."
