Chapter 2143: Chapter 1889: The Chosen One_2

"Let’s go, see that Double-winged Ice Crystal Leopard."

Song Yun led the way, heading toward the entrance of the passage.

Now that both his realm and Primordial Body had improved, if he were to fight again, even though the Double-winged Ice Crystal Leopard was at the peak of SSS level, he was capable of contending with it.

The four of them arrived at the entrance, and upon seeing Song Yun’s advancement, the Nine Stars were overjoyed.

Then, Lin Jun pointed to the sunken square and said: "Ever since that monster grew wings, it has been trying to fly up, but it was chained and couldn’t leave that area."

"However, as it kept trying to fly upward, it actually pulled the ground up."

"At the end of the chain, there’s actually a stone secret door, and now the door is open, revealing a staircase leading underground, pitch-dark and seemingly endless."

Such a thing!

Song Yun’s eyes brightened as he glanced towards the center of the sunken square.

He saw a rectangular secret door about twenty meters long, standing open. The Double-winged Ice Crystal Leopard seemed tired from flying and was perched on the standing stone door.

Below, there was a huge black hole, with stairs leading downward, the depth unclear.

Song Yun glanced at the other thirty-one passages around him, thought quickly, and pondered, "Could this be the central gate?"

Looking at the pitch-dark stairs, Song Yun thought to himself, "All the passages converge here. This should be the central area of the Daxia Ruins. The secret door leading underground is definitely the central gate."

"This central gate is really not easy to find, hidden under the stone tower, yet larger than the stone tower. I initially thought the square cracks surrounding it were decorative, but didn’t realize they were door seams."

At this moment, Song Yun noticed a latch on the side of the standing stone door.

The latch was controlled by the earth lock that bound the Double-winged Ice Crystal Leopard.

When it flew upwards, it tugged on the earth lock fixed to the stone door, retracting the latch so the door could lift open.

"So the purpose of that earth lock is not only to trap the Ice Crystal Leopard but also to serve as the key to open the central gate."

"To open this door, one must destroy the suppressive array of the stone tower, allowing the Single-winged Ice Crystal Leopard to advance to Double-winged, fly up, and pull open the central gate."

"This is not a simple task. If someone killed the Single-winged Ice Crystal Leopard, perhaps the central gate would never be found."

After pondering for a moment, Song Yun found the answer in his heart.

After explaining his thoughts to the others, they all agreed with his view.

However, he was still puzzled.

It seemed the central gate was opened by coincidence.

But why did the Beast Spirit Clan people know the central gate would open?

Could someone predict the future, knowing what would happen today?

Song Yun couldn’t help but ask Lang Xiaoran: "Xiaoran, how did your Beast Spirit Clan know that the central gate would open today?"

Lang Xiaoran replied: "Among the Beast Spirit Clan, there is a prophecy. It says that in the recent days, a person of heavenly destiny will arrive at the Daxia Ruins. Then, the central gate of the Daxia Ruins will open, and the true treasure lies within the central gate."

A person of heavenly destiny!

Song Yun’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but wonder if he was the one destined by the heavens.

The others also turned their gaze towards Song Yun.

Although the central gate was opened by everyone working together to break the Stone Tower Formation, it was under Song Yun’s command.

One could say that the opening of the central gate was entirely due to Song Yun.

If he wasn’t the person of heavenly destiny, then who was?

For a moment, everyone felt a sense of bewilderment.

Everything that had happened today had been predicted long ago, which was simply incredible.

Could it be that someone in this world could really predict the future?

The group shivered at the thought, finding the person who predicted this to be incredibly terrifying.

Song Yun asked: "Xiaoran, how many years has that prophecy been circulated in your Beast Spirit Clan?"

Lang Xiaoran thought for a moment and said: "Ever since recorded history, it has always existed. It must have been around for seven or eight thousand years, maybe even over ten thousand."

Song Yun was shocked, thinking: "More than ten thousand years ago, someone predicted what would happen today... This is just too frightening."

He asked again: "Xiaoran, did the prophecy mention whether the person of heavenly destiny was male or female, and any characteristics?"

Lang Xiaoran said: "The prophecy says the person is a young man, holding a black broken sword, and wearing colorful battle attire."

Upon hearing this, Song Yun couldn’t deny that he was the person of heavenly destiny.

A young man, that’s him.

A black broken sword, he had one.

He originally didn’t have colorful battle attire, but the clothing Dongfang Yun made for him was indeed colorful.

The person in the prophecy was definitely him.

"The person of heavenly destiny, I am actually the person of heavenly destiny? What exactly is going on?"

Song Yun was greatly shocked, somewhat unwilling to accept this reality.

He always thought he was free-spirited and unfettered, but somehow, he was entangled in the Heavenly Dao, even being part of a prophecy.

This made him feel as though he was controlled by destiny.

As for the title of the person of heavenly destiny, it sounded impressive, but he didn’t want it at all.

His life was determined by him, not by the heavens; he only followed his own heart.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Lang Xiaoran: "Is there any other information in the prophecy?"

Lang Xiaoran said: "The prophecy says the appearance of the person of heavenly destiny heralds the coming of chaos. Heroes will rise, demons will dance wildly, ten thousand monsters will emerge, and myriad clans will reappear. The Earth Martial Star will face a catastrophe, and only the person of heavenly destiny can resolve it."

"Damn!"

After hearing Lang Xiaoran’s words, Song Yun couldn’t help but curse, muttering: "Why does this prophecy sound like a story? I damn well don’t want to be the one to save the world; I just want to live my life! And what the hell is the Earth Martial Star? What does it have to do with me?"

Others couldn’t help but smile wryly.

It’s likely that nobody could easily accept such a situation.

Song Yun remained silent for a while, thinking: "Damn it! Whether I’m a person of heavenly destiny or not, even if the future was truly prophesied, I shall only follow my own heart and protect those I care about. Why worry so much?"

With this thought, his mind became clear.

He instructed the group: "Let’s keep the person of heavenly destiny matter a secret; I don’t want it to get out."

Everyone present was trustable, and they all nodded in agreement, which reassured him.

Then, Lin Jun took out the last set of spare clothes and handed it to Song Yun to change into.

Without the colorful battle attire, other members of the Beast Spirit Clan wouldn’t associate him with the person of heavenly destiny.

After doing all this, Song Yun glanced at the dark central gate in the sunken square and decided to lead everyone in.

But at that moment, suddenly, a dozen figures appeared from one of the passages around them.

"Let’s observe the situation first."

Song Yun gestured for everyone to hide, watching quietly from the shadows.

There they saw eleven people riding Exotic Beast Cheetahs heading towards the center of the sunken square.

The young man leading them had an excited expression and exclaimed joyfully: "The central gate, this is the central gate, it’s actually here, and it’s really opened."

The others were equally excited and drove their cheetahs towards the central gate.

Song Yun turned to Lang Xiaoran and whispered: "Leopard Spirit Clan?"

Lang Xiaoran nodded: "The Leopard Spirit Clan is quite strong. The leader, Bao Cheng, has long mastered the Third-order Beast Technique. His combat strength is formidable and he is quite famous among the Beast Spirit Clan."

Lang Xiaoran had just finished speaking when a powerful voice echoed across the square: "Bao Cheng, do you think you’ve outdone everyone? Where do you place me, Xiong Gang? Humph, I, Xiong Gang, will be the first to enter the central gate."

Song Yun focused his gaze and saw a group of people riding Exotic Beast Black Bears emerging from one of the passages.

Needless to say, these people were surely from the Bear Spirit Clan.

And from the way Xiong Gang spoke to Bao Cheng, it seemed that his strength was not inferior to Bao Cheng’s.

"Two teams from the Beast Spirit Clan have arrived. It seems the situation is getting a bit complicated."

Song Yun smiled playfully.

The more complicated the situation, the more he enjoyed it.

It was best if those guys started fighting each other, ending up with mutual destruction.

Thud thud thud...

Footsteps sounded.

This time, another team appeared.

However, they were not from the Beast Spirit Clan.
