Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1307 - 342: Gamble for the Future, Game of Destiny (Part 4)
On the desolate land, twelve Life Masters were fiercely quarreling in the ancestral grounds.
"If this continues, the entire clan will fall apart. To solve the problem, the elder ascended the Observatory Platform, hoping to use deduction to obtain future information. But unexpectedly, the elder suddenly fell into a coma on the platform, sleeping for 28 days. When he woke up again, he recounted the Destiny Revelation he received..."
In the mind of Life Throat, the figure of the former Great Destiny Master emerged, standing on the Observatory Platform, looking down at the clan with a voice like thunder:
"Destiny Revelation, I saw the river of fate diverge, with only Monster World holding a glimmer of hope."
At this moment, the Great Destiny Master continued:
"All the clansmen believe this is the new path destiny has given us."
"But only I know that this is the elder’s woven lie to unite the about-to-dissolve clan."
"Yet it is precisely this lie that allowed us, who should have perished, to take root in Monster World and continue to thrive."
Upon learning the truth, turbulent waves surged in Life Throat’s heart.
It had never thought that the greatest migration feat of the Destiny Clan was built on a lie.
And it had never doubted the descriptions in history.
The Great Destiny Master’s gaze was piercing, as if it could see into its soul:
"Today, your proposal is so similar to that of the elder back then. I know what you’re hiding, just as the elder hid from the entire clan back then."
Upon hearing this, Life Throat suddenly knelt on one knee:
"Great Destiny Master, I..."
"No need to explain. Since you dare to swear by fate, I will give you this opportunity to leave with the clansmen willing to follow you, just as the elder led us to Monster World back then."
Life Throat’s form trembled slightly, and ripples appeared in its eyes beneath the Silver Mist Mask.
"Unfortunately, as the Great Destiny Master, I must first ensure the future of the clan. So, I cannot lead the clan to accompany you on this adventure, but you must remember, a lie is just a means, not an end. The elder took a gamble and was right; today, I am willing to gamble that you are right."
With that, the Great Destiny Master waved his hand to conjure a jade stone, handing it to Life Throat:
"This was given to me by the elder back then, now I give it to you."
Life Throat solemnly accepted the jade stone, discovering a line of text engraved on it:
"The lone boat crosses the sea, only to see the new sky."
Immediately, it felt a strange heat surge in its chest.
...
Three days later, Life Throat stood on a stone platform at the edge of the clan land, behind it were thirty thousand Dragon Sparrow Lineage clansmen who willingly followed.
Before leaving, the vast majority of its lineage’s clansmen chose to stay.
Facing the unexplainable and ephemeral Destiny Revelation, they preferred to remain in the clan land.
To pursue the path together with the clan to ascend the Monster World summit.
Only thirty thousand or so clansmen were willing to continue following it.
At this moment, they stood outside the teleportation array, forming a long line.
"Great Destiny Master, the cross Spatial Array has already been activated."
Life Throat looked at the Great Destiny Master standing beside it and spoke softly.
Saying this, it removed the silver mask on its face, revealing a handsome, humanoid visage.
The following clansmen saw this and also removed their silver masks, which could express emotions.
These masks were called "Impermanence".
The surface of the mask flowed with mercury-like ripples, symbolizing the ever-changing flow of the river of fate.
This was the Destiny Clan’s interpretation and understanding of the phrase "Fate Unpredictable."
But next, they were going to a Small World where they needed to keep their identity as Destiny Clan secret.
Through forum investigations, it can be found that players are aware of the Destiny Clan’s existence.
It must eliminate the risk of identity exposure and make players realize the reality’s connection with Monster World, so it and the following clansmen needed to remove all traits related to the Destiny Clan.
Parting was imminent.
It was very clear that this journey might mean it could never return as a Destiny Apostle.
Even if it returns, it will be to interact with the clansmen as a player, separated by an unspeakable boundary.
Behind, the sound of soft footsteps could be heard; those willing to follow were already ready to depart, youthful faces carried anticipation for the unknown, while the older ones frequently looked back at their families...
Life Throat watched them, feeling a surge of emotion in its heart.
In fact, even it was unclear about the outcome of such actions.
The best outcome would be joining the Earth Alliance, becoming an alien race within it.
Thereafter, gaining eligibility to apply for player status.
Yet there’s also a possibility that its act of leading the clansmen here would completely anger the High-dimensional God, causing great disaster.
This would also affect those clansmen who followed it.
Leading these trusting clansmen, it followed a path towards an unforeseeable future.
But if they succeed, they will completely escape the shackles of predetermined fate, like a carp leaping through the dragon gate, transforming into a true dragon soaring over nine days.
Life Throat gazed at the light of the teleportation array before it.
As if seeing countless possible futures interwoven within the light.
These clansmen that followed it might find an unprecedented new life in that world.
Going forward, no longer restricted by bloodlines and talents, no longer bound by rules and constraints, but like Earth players, possessing infinite possibilities for growth.
Once some choices are made, there’s no going back.
What it needed to do was, on this foreign land, as a leader, to light up new stars for the clansmen once more.
"Prepare to set off."
Pressing all emotions to the bottom of its heart, Life Throat spoke solemnly at this time.
The following clansmen entered the teleportation aura one by one.
The young clansmen fought back tears, offering their final farewell to the elders.
