Chapter 290: A Fate Sealed
[So the correct answer was Option 1?]
[I knew it! There's no way two gods couldn't handle a mere meteor.]
[Wait… something's wrong! Look at that meteor!]
[Oh my god!! It took a direct hit from two gods wielding divine artifacts… yet it's completely unharmed?!]
[What is this meteor? What kind of monstrous existence is it?]
A flood of comments surged through the livestream as countless viewers were left in shock.
In the video
The two divine artifacts thrown by the Sea God and the Cloud City Lord carried overwhelming power, their sheer energy tearing through space itself as they collided head on with the falling meteor.
"BOOM!!!"
A thunderous explosion echoed across the sky.
The meteor's descent abruptly slowed, its speed significantly reduced
Yet, it continued to fall.
The two divine artifacts unleashed their full power, attempting to halt its descent, but
The meteor remained virtually unaffected.
Seeing this, both Ye Cheng and Neptune furrowed their brows. Clearly
This meteor was far more troublesome than they had anticipated.
"As expected… This meteor is definitely no ordinary rock!" Ye Cheng said gravely.
"I remember from that past video when this meteor shattered, a massive claw emerged from within…"
"Could this meteor actually be some kind of egg?"
"But if the mere shell is already this resilient, then the creature inside… I can't even begin to imagine how powerful it must be!"
Neptune's brows furrowed deeply. "So… do we have no choice but to let it land?"****"It's frustrating that the previous video didn't reveal what happened after it cracked open. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so blind right now."
[Sigh… Sometimes, even knowing the future doesn't mean you can change it.]
[Yeah… like in all the previous Q&A videos, the Cloud City Lord's fate was always the same sacrificing himself to erase the Abyss and save the Douluo Continent.]
[Even though he knew the future ahead of time, the Abyss still arrived.]
[Is fate truly unchangeable? Is this destiny?]
[Ugh… isn't there any way to permanently eliminate the Abyss?]
The livestream chat was filled with sighs of frustration.
Many had watched the previous Q&A videos showing various futures and no matter how early the Cloud City Lord had prepared, no matter how much power he had gained ahead of time, the final result never changed.
The Abyss still descended.
And he still had to sacrifice himself.
It was as if no matter what they did, the Abyssal invasion was inevitable.
And that feeling of helplessness weighed heavily on everyone watching.
Back in the video
Ye Cheng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily!"
"Remember, in the future video we saw, the Abyss did arrive but there was no sign of this meteor."
"That means… we must have found a way to prevent it from landing."
"And I just thought of a method."
"What method?" Neptune asked curiously.
"If we can't destroy it… then we'll send it somewhere else!" Ye Cheng revealed the answer.
[Wait… relocation?!]
[So the real correct answer was Option 3?!]
[It turns out the Cloud City Lord used some kind of technique to transfer the meteor elsewhere.]
[That makes sense now…]
A wave of realization swept through the chat as people finally understood what had happened.
In the video
Ye Cheng stared at the massive meteor, which seemed to blot out the entire sky, and spoke softly:
"I can feel it… Your arrival is making this world tremble in fear."
"It's obvious you're no benevolent being."
"Go cause trouble somewhere else."
"Douluo Star cannot afford your destruction."
As he finished speaking
He raised both hands, palms facing each other.
A tiny speck of darkness appeared between them
Expanding rapidly, it soon formed a fist sized black sphere.
At first glance, it looked like a simple black orb but upon closer inspection, it was actually a miniature spatial black hole!
Unlike before, Ye Cheng was no longer limited to teleporting only himself
Now, he could forcibly transport other objects as well.
This was the spatial technique he had been developing for years.
"Go."
"And don't come back."
With a flick of his finger
The tiny black hole vanished, instantly reappearing right in front of the falling meteor.
The next moment
The fiery sky was suddenly wiped clean.
The entire meteor vanished.
The once blazing red heavens returned to their usual clear, calm blue.
That tiny black hole
Had completely relocated the meteor to a different part of the universe.
The spectacle left everyone in awe.
Standing beside him, Neptune was full of admiration, exclaiming: "Ye Brother, your mastery of space manipulation has reached an extraordinary level!"
Ye Cheng smiled modestly. "A mere trick."
"By the way, where did you send that meteor?" Neptune suddenly asked, a hint of concern in his voice.
"That thing is clearly alive. If it's still close by, what if it comes back?"
Ye Cheng shook his head and replied, "I have no idea where it ended up."
"This long range spatial transfer was simply me pushing it as far away as I possibly could."
"But one thing is certain "
"It's no longer in our star system."
As the two conversed
The livestream video shifted once more.
This time, the audience saw a completely different galaxy.
The planetary arrangements were entirely unfamiliar, proving this was a different star system altogether.
And just like Douluo Star's system, this one also had a sun, a moon, and a single life bearing planet.
Suddenly
Space twisted violently.
A massive burning meteor appeared out of nowhere, flames roaring across its surface.
The audience instantly recognized it
It was the same meteor Ye Cheng had just relocated.
But now
It had stopped moving.
It just floated there in the vacuum of space, as if it were… thinking.
After a few moments
The meteor began to move again
This time, heading directly toward the only life bearing planet in this new star system.
[Holy crap!! That thing really IS alive!]
[Yeah! And its goal is crystal clear it's targeting planets with life!]
[What the hell does this thing even want?!]
The livestream erupted with confusion.
No one understood the meteor's purpose.
But in the distant God Realm, the five Divine Kings (having sent new gods to investigate) watched the video
And they had a theory.
Perhaps
The creature inside that meteor wasn't just any beast.
Perhaps
It needed the very essence of living planets to grow.
A planet capable of sustaining life was vastly different from a barren rock.
Its core energy held a unique vitality and power of creation.
Otherwise
Life never would have emerged at all.
