They took the stone tablet and left the place.
As soon as they left, demons appeared one after another. They looked at the stone tablet being taken away and the pit left behind, staring at each other.
"What was written on that stone tablet?" a demon asked with confusion.
Another demon also shook his head and said, "I don't know. Isn't it a wordless stone tablet? We've guarded here for countless years, and we check it from time to time. There are no words on it."
"That destiny demon is really making a fuss. It's just a wordless stone tablet, and yet he shows surprise, then confusion. He's so jumpy."
"After all, it's a destiny demon who hasn't appeared for many years, so it's normal for him to be a bit strange."
"Let's disperse. The stone tablet is gone, and there's no need for us to waste time guarding here."
The many demons breathed a sigh of relief and left one after another.
On the other side.
Lin Yu's consciousness was immersed in the small world. He repeatedly studied the stone tablet but found nothing.
"If the content on this stone tablet is true, then if demons lose their good intentions, all beings will disappear? This sounds completely absurd!"
He had witnessed the brutality of demons with his own eyes. All the way here, almost every moment, demons were slaughtering each other.
Every demon carried countless souls on them.
This was a race addicted to killing, so how could they have good intentions?
"Huh~"
Suddenly, he noticed the peculiarity of the stone tablet.
He gently pressed the bottom of the stone tablet with his hand, and with a click, it was as if he had pressed a mechanism. The stone tablet disintegrated before his eyes.
Click~
Click~
The stone tablet broke apart into black cubes.
Suddenly!
These cubes reassembled before his eyes.
Hum~
Streams of light emanated from the reassembled stone tablet.
The light quickly dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the stone tablet.
It was a circular disk, engraved with characters like Qian, Kun, Gen, etc.
"This is... a compass!"
This kind of item was widely circulated in the mortal world, usually used to find auspicious locations.
However, it was strange that the stone tablet had transformed into something like this.
He carefully observed the compass. It was circular, with rings of characters like Qian, Kun, and Gen around the edge, very complex.
In the center of the compass, there was an empty groove where something should have been placed before.
Lin Yu was puzzled and probed repeatedly, not knowing how to use this thing.
"System, investigate!"
"Ding, upgrade points have been consumed. Investigation successful!"
After consuming quite a few upgrade points, he finally understood the function of this item.
Destiny Compass: Hunyuan-grade. The natal treasure of the King of Destiny Demons, the Ancestor of Karma. Its abilities are threefold:
First, seize destiny. It can seize the destiny of other beings and integrate it into oneself to strengthen one's own destiny.
Second, alter destiny. By consuming a large amount of destiny, it can change the fate of beings, from a single individual to an entire race.
Third, River of Time. It can summon the River of Time to view the destiny of beings, or manipulate the River of Time to fill local areas with traces of time, accelerating the passage of time. (Cannot be used)
Note: This treasure is in a broken state, lacking the Time Track!
Time Track?
Lin Yu's heart stirred.
He subconsciously took out the mechanical watch-like treasure he had obtained from the Seer's Void.
As soon as he took it out, the mechanical watch lit up, detached from his palm, and fell into the groove in the center of the compass.
Hum~
The compass erupted with streams of light.
Boom!
The light shot up into the sky, breaking through the small world and entering the void of unknown whereabouts.
Lin Yu was surprised and looked up at the beam of light.
Lin Yun walked over at some point.
"Brother, where's the stone tablet?" he asked, looking around and finding no stone tablet, only this compass emitting a skyward beam of light.
Lin Yu pointed to the compass and said, "This is the stone tablet."
"Ah?"
"Boom!"
Another rumbling sound occurred.
Lin Yun, as a destiny demon, suddenly felt a moment of trance.
His consciousness flew to a mysterious place for an instant. It was a starry sky.
He saw a pale-faced man with blood-red hair. The man tilted his head, looked in the direction of the compass, moved his lips slightly, and said something he couldn't make out.
Then, he let out a soft "Hmm" and lightly tapped the void with his fingertip.
A beam of light crossed the endless void and landed on Lin Yun.
"What's wrong? You look so shocked?"
"Brother, I saw a man in a starry sky!"
Then, he recounted what had just happened.
Lin Yu mused, "Could it be the owner of this compass? The Ancestor of Karma?"
After all, this compass was originally the treasure of the Karma Demon clan. Now that the treasure was restored, it was not impossible to contact him.
Thinking of this, he directly put away the compass.
This was a Hunyuan-grade treasure, and it couldn't be snatched away by anyone.
"Brother, the Ancestor of Karma? I have an impression. He is an elder of our destiny demons, a great Hunyuan-grade demon! However, after that battle, he also disappeared, just like the Heavenly Emperor."
He suddenly thought of the red-haired man he had just seen, who seemed to look exactly like the legendary Ancestor of Karma.
"Brother, could the person I just saw be the Ancestor of Karma?" he asked with a look of surprise.
Lin Yu smiled, "It's very possible! But he's clearly trapped somewhere and can't affect us here."
As he spoke.
Lin Yu fell into thought.
Starry sky!
Throne!
And a powerful expert in the Hunyuan realm!
This scene was too familiar to him!
When he used the sacrifice skill, wasn't that mysterious man in such a situation?
Could it be that the powerful beings of the past were all trapped in that starry sky?
At this moment.
Lin Yun said, "Brother, take out the Destiny Compass."
What for?
However, Lin Yu still took it out.
As soon as he took it out, Lin Yun dripped a drop of his blood onto it.
Hum!
As the blood fell, the compass suddenly transformed into light and entered Lin Yun's body.
"Brother, that red-haired man just now gave me a power that allows me to refine this treasure. I think that person is probably the Ancestor of Karma."
This was the most powerful demon of the past.
You must know that back then, the demons had three Hunyuan realms. The Ancestor of Karma, as the elder of the destiny demons, was equivalent to the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Realm.
This kind of figure gave him a power, allowing him to refine that being's treasure. This made him both ecstatic and a little uneasy.
"Well, if it really is the Ancestor of Karma, perhaps he took a liking to you. You keep it for now and refine the Destiny Compass as much as possible!" Lin Yu said.
"Don't worry, Brother, I will work hard!"
After saying this, he added, "Brother, I understand now. What was written on that stone tablet before was actually fake!"
Fake?
Although Lin Yu had expected it, he was still surprised.
"What's going on?"
