Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1306 - 342: The Gamble for the Future, Part 3
"Since the conclusion of the last Heavenly Destiny Pavilion Conference, 394 star cycles have passed." The voice of the Great Destiny Master carried the weight of history, his gaze sweeping over the Life Masters present before continuing:
"Today we reconvene the pavilion conference, and I hope all Life Masters will remember the ancestors’ admonitions and make cautious decisions regarding the tribe’s fate."
All the Life Masters nodded in unison, raising their hands as twelve beams of silver light converged in the air, finally forming a giant shadow of a destiny disk that slowly rotated above everyone’s heads.
Life Throat felt the boiling Power of Destiny within his body, knowing that every word he was about to utter could change the future of the entire tribe.
The Great Destiny Master glanced over at this moment:
"This pavilion conference is initiated by the Life Throat of the Dragon Sparrow Lineage, who will now elaborate on the specific situation."
Life Throat nodded upon hearing this, having already decided what to say on the way here.
He spoke solemnly at this moment: 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Fellow Life Masters, I have received a Destiny Revelation, revealing a brand-new path for our tribe’s fate."
The Life Masters from various lineages on the Jade Platform remained motionless, but the energy ripples emitted from their bodies indicated their inner shock.
"Has the Destiny Revelation appeared again?!" The Life Master bearing the giant coffin voiced incredulously, then quickly asked:
"What exactly did destiny reveal to you?"
"To relocate the entire tribe to a Small World for settlement."
"What Small World?"
"A world devoid of Spiritual Energy, almost devoid of any Spiritual Resources, with very sparse types of Energy in the air, equivalent to having no Spiritual Energy..."
Upon hearing Life Throat’s account, the white-haired Life Master couldn’t help but frown:
"In such a world, what value could it possibly have? Our tribe regained vitality upon arriving at Monster World; should we be caged again?"
"Correct, do you understand what this means? Our tribe will completely lose its future..."
The Great Destiny Master raised a hand to quell the commotion:
"Life Throat, does this revelation contain specific portents?"
The expression on Life Throat’s mask quickly shifted.
He understood that at this moment, any mention of players, High-dimensional Gods, and similar terms might trigger unforeseen consequences.
After carefully reciting it in his mind, he spoke:
"I foresaw a fleeting star in the river of fate, I saw the tribe gaining new life in that barren Small World, but know nothing else."
On the right, a laughing Life Master from within the mist of light said:
"Xiao Shier, just released from sealing, have you learned to speak in riddles?" He then shook his head, saying:
"I believe this decision is unwise. Destiny Revelation should lead our tribe to glory; how could it guide us in the opposite direction? It might be Xiao Shier has recently suffered a backlash from destiny, resulting in an unknown illusion causing misjudgment."
"I agree with Life What’s opinion; Xiao Shier might have fallen for a faction’s Illusion Technique while exploring outside. How could destiny’s revelation be so careless?"
Faced with Life Throat’s idea, the other eleven Life Masters all disagree.
The facts are indeed so.
The Small World described by Life Throat is barren, with thin Spiritual Energy and scarce resources, simply incapable of providing any development opportunities for the Destiny Clan.
The Life Masters present are veterans of numerous Destiny Games, and such a proposal appears utterly absurd to them.
No matter how they analyze, they see no chance for this world to bring anything to the Destiny Clan.
The result would most likely be the Destiny Clan deteriorating with each generation.
Until ultimately trapped in the mire of the Small World, unable to escape.
"Enough."
Amid the noisy debates, the Great Destiny Master lightly tapped the Jade Platform, staring directly at Life Throat:
"Life Throat, are you aware of the consequences of concealing matters from the Heavenly Destiny Pavilion Conference."
All Life Masters cast their substantial gaze, creating pressure on Life Throat’s shoulders.
But he knew clearly the existence of the heavenly path hidden in the barren Small World, and he would never want to miss such an opportunity.
Facing skepticism, Life Throat took a deep breath and said firmly:
"I am willing to pledge my life essence; if this proposal is mistaken, I submit to the punishment of burning my Life Fire!"
The scene suddenly fell silent.
"Xiao Shier, even with your oath on your life essence, I disagree with relocating to the Small World; I see no future in this." The white-haired Life Master shook his head again.
"It’s unwise to gamble the entire tribe’s future for a Destiny Revelation of questionable authenticity, I also do not agree."
As the arguments resumed, the somewhat helpless Great Destiny Master raised his hand once more.
"Since this involves Destiny Revelation, we certainly cannot treat it lightly. At present, apart from Life Throat, other Life Masters are unwilling to go to the Small World... then allow the Dragon Sparrow Lineage to migrate first, with other branches to discuss the future later."
This compromise calmed the commotion gradually.
After all, no one wants to bear the consequences of violating destiny’s oath, yet no one is willing to gamble their tribe’s future, following Life Throat into an unknown adventure.
"The Heavenly Destiny Pavilion Conference concludes here."
At this moment, the Great Destiny Master declared the meeting’s end, and the scene dissolved into countless starlight.
When the silver brilliance dissipated, and the Life Masters departed one after another, the Great Destiny Master alone kept Life Throat.
"Life Throat." The Great Destiny Master’s voice lost the majesty it carried during the conference.
"Great Destiny Master." Life Throat respectfully drifted before the Great Destiny Master.
But what the Great Destiny Master said next left him stunned.
"Do you know that the Destiny Revelation actually doesn’t exist?"
"Wha... what do you mean?"
A trace of reminiscence appeared in the Great Destiny Master’s eyes.
Then, with a flick of his fingertip, a thread of yellowed memories wove into Life Throat’s mind, revealing past affairs of old.
"At that time, our Hometown World was facing invasion from external enemies, resource depletion, withering of all living things, weakening of Clan Power, and a series of issues, but regarding our tribe’s future direction, each branch had different views, making it difficult to settle on a specific plan."
Accompanying the Great Destiny Master’s narration, scenes of disputes among the tribe’s branches surfaced in Life Throat’s mind, with the Rock Vein Sect advocating relocation, the Starlight Sect insisting on holding the hometown, the Dragon Sparrow Sect proposing...
