Chapter 810: Savior Star
As Chief Judge Qi spoke, the entire sky seemed to dim suddenly, with only the central Purple Polar Star shimmering brightly, as if its brilliance had rendered other stars invisible.
This unusual phenomenon was not visible to everyone; in fact, aside from Chief Judge Qi, almost no one could see this wondrous spectacle.
Even within the same person’s Secret Realm, the sky appeared as the usual starry sky to others.
However, far away in the Celestial Pillar Grotto Heaven, there was a Daoist standing at the edge of an island amidst the clouds, looking up at the sky filled with stars, and he saw that dazzling Purple Polar Star.
"Is it finally time to act?" The Lotus Temple Master gazed at the starry sky, calculating with his fingers.
The Lotus Temple Master knew this day would come sooner or later, as long as Chen Guan entered the Great Cave Heaven, the one in the Ancestral Court would never let him go and would surely use the art of astrology to capture him.
The Lotus Temple Master continuously calculated with his fingers, hoping to deduce Chen Guan’s fate.
He had previously tried to deduce Chen Guan’s fate but, for some unknown reason, Chen Guan’s fate was obscured by something, and even he could not deduce it.
But today was somewhat different. Chief Judge Qi, using the art of astrology, directly attempted to capture Chen Guan; regardless of success or failure, Chen Guan’s Celestial Destiny Star was bound to appear.
The Lotus Temple Master could use the appearance of the Celestial Destiny Star to bypass the obscured heavenly secrets and directly deduce Chen Guan’s destiny.
There were two main reasons why he was so concerned about Chen Guan’s destiny.
The first reason was naturally because of Qinghua. Qinghua was the Lotus Temple Master’s personally chosen successor and the future master of the Lotus Temple.
He devoted everything to nurturing Qinghua and couldn’t allow any mishaps to befall her.
Of course, Qinghua wouldn’t succumb to any mishaps easily. With her fortune and abilities, she would certainly be able to expand the lineage of the Lotus Temple in the future.
However, the Lotus Temple Master could tell that Qinghua had a special regard for Chen Guan, her childhood friend.
Therefore, the Lotus Temple Master needed to figure out what Chen Guan’s destiny was and whether he would negatively impact Qinghua in the future.
The second reason was the issue of the Demon Child.
The Lotus Temple Master had calculated the birthplace of the Demon Child and brought him back.
But ever since the Demon Child came to the Lotus Temple, the more he interacted with him, the more the Lotus Temple Master found it difficult to predict the future trajectory of the Demon Child’s destiny.
This was partly due to the Lotus Temple Master’s own reasons. The deeper his connection with the Demon Child, the harder the calculation became.
Calculating others’ destinies is different from one’s own, and the deeper the relationship with the Lotus Temple Master, the more unclear the calculations became, as seen with Qinghua.
Before accepting Qinghua, the Lotus Temple Master could easily deduce her fortunes, but now, he no longer predicted for Qinghua.
The same was true for the Demon Child, but this was not the most critical reason.
Because before Chen Guan brought the Demon Child here, the Demon Child’s fate and fortune were already beginning to blur, indicating it wasn’t just due to the Lotus Temple Master’s influence.
The Lotus Temple Master pondered and realized there was only one possibility left.
The Demon Child came into being because of Chen Guan, and the only thing that could influence him was Chen Guan. Furthermore, Chen Guan’s own heavenly secrets were obscure, increasing the likelihood.
Both Qinghua and the Demon Child were extremely important to the Lotus Temple Master, hence his strong desire to see Chen Guan’s destiny clearly.
He gazed at the starry sky, wanting to know what exactly Chen Guan’s Celestial Destiny Star was.
Under the illumination of that Purple Polar Star, all other stars had dimmed and disappeared, yet one star gradually grew brighter.
This star must be Chen Guan’s Celestial Destiny Star, summoned by the Purple Polar Star.
Seeing this newly revealed Celestial Destiny Star, the Lotus Temple Master suddenly had his pupils contract, and his body shook violently as if seeing a ghost.
"Destined by the heavens... The determined star... Savior... How could this be..." The Lotus Temple Master exclaimed in shock.
He did not believe Chen Guan could be this Celestial Destiny Star: "He can’t be this Celestial Destiny Star, nor should he be this Celestial Destiny Star."
The Lotus Temple Master understood why Chen Guan’s destiny was always vague, feeling obscured.
As the destined savior of the world, Chen Guan’s destiny is the highest under the grand path, relating to the entire world’s fate. Deducing his fate is equivalent to deducing the entire world’s fate, which naturally others cannot do.
Even one as strong as the Lotus Temple Master did not possess the ability to deduce the entire world.
The issue now was that the Lotus Temple Master had always believed that the Demon Child was the destined one of this world, the Savior.
Theoretically, the Demon Child’s Celestial Destiny Star should be the Savior’s.
But now that Chen Guan’s Celestial Destiny Star is the Savior’s, it proves that the Lotus Temple Master’s previous calculations were wrong—the Demon Child is not the Savior.
"Could I have been wrong? Could the Demon Child truly be the Demon King of destruction, and Chen Guan the true Savior?" The Lotus Temple Master’s mood was extremely complex at this moment.
If the Demon Child is indeed the world-destroying Demon King, in the future, might it be possible, as predicted, to massacre the Ten Great Families and slay the Ten Celestial Kings?
If that were true, then by raising the Demon Child, he would have become the person who propelled destruction.
The Lotus Temple Master stared intensely at that shining star in the sky, unable to say a word.
Gazing at that Savior Star was, of course, also Chief Judge Qi.
Using the power of All Under Heaven and the Purple Star, he captured Chen Guan. Now that Chen Guan’s Celestial Destiny Star had emerged, it proved that Chen Guan was indeed within the Great Cave Heaven of the Ji Family.
This discovery thrilled Chief Judge Qi immensely, suggesting a significant possibility that Chen Guan and Zi Donglai were the same person.
Furthermore, capturing Chen Guan and slaying him here would enable the Celestial Court Army to reclaim the lost Celestial Pillar Grotto Heaven, eliminating a great threat.
However, as the light from that Celestial Destiny Star gradually strengthened, Chief Judge Qi’s complexion slowly changed, becoming increasingly pale.
For although the Celestial Destiny Star had manifested, it did not capture Chen Guan.
Instead, the starlight grew increasingly dazzling, its brightness gradually rivaling Chief Judge Qi’s Purple Star and continuing to intensify.
"Savior..." Glaring at that star, almost like a sun in the sky, Chief Judge Qi’s eyes glittered with cold light.
The Purple Star is the fulcrum of the Circulation of Stars, commanding the motion of all stars in the heavens. There are very few stars that can escape the control of the Purple Star.
The Savior Star is one of them. As one with a Purple Star destiny, although Chief Judge Qi did not have predictive abilities, he knew what this star represented.
To ordinary people, the Savior Star signifies justice, salvation, and destiny fulfilled.
But to one with a Purple Star destiny, the Savior represents destruction and rebellion.
Overturning the existing order to establish a new one is what can be called salvation.
And a Purple Star destiny is the representation of the existing order.
