Chapter 259 -259 Changing Fate

In hell—

King Yan had been dealing with the various affairs of hell in the palace when he saw Black and White Impermanence and the Judge hurry in together, urgent expressions on all their faces.

Seeing this, King Yan also put down the pen in his hand, looked at them, and his own expression turned grave, “Has something serious happened?”

“A disaster, my lord,” Black Impermanence didn’t even pause to bow but immediately reported, “The fates of over two hundred people have been altered. Those people were supposed to die today. However, when our emissaries went to claim their souls, they found that all these people’s lifespans had been changed; they’re all still alive.”

“What?”

Even King Yan was shocked by such news, “What exactly is going on? Speak in detail.”

This was indeed a grave matter.

Everyone should know that a person’s destiny is determined at birth. The rough time of birth, time of death, and calamities throughout life are all written in the Book of Life and Death. These are related to one’s previous life and are generally very difficult to change.

Of course, while destiny is set, some calamities might still change, but such opportunities are rare.

And even if a change does occur, it’s improbable for so many people’s fates to be altered at once. This would almost be considered an act against the heavens, essentially an impossible feat.

“It was—” Bai Wuchang said with a bit of difficulty on his face, “done by the lady.”

Subsequently, Black and White Impermanence exchanged dialogues, narrating the entirety of events, with the Judge occasionally interjecting a few words.

Soon, King Yan understood the whole situation, his face growing even more somber, and what concerned him was not the potential disasters brought about by the changes in the fates of so many people, but—

“Where is the lady? How is she doing now?”

“The lady is in a bad state,” the Judge spoke with a worried expression, “The lady has changed so many people’s fates all at once; she’s directly opposing the Heavenly Dao. There’s no way Heavenly Dao will let her off easily for this.”

“And the sovereign?” King Yan immediately asked, “How did he react?”

Black and White Impermanence exchanged glances before Bai Wuchang spoke, “My lord, we did not dare to approach. But from a distance, we saw that the sovereign’s face was calm. However—”

“Looking at that calm face, we felt inexplicably terrified.”

“The lady mustn’t have any trouble,” said King Yan sharply, “Otherwise, what might happen in the human world is unpredictable.”

He still felt a chill recalling an event from the past.

“As for the Heavenly Dao—” the Judge hesitated, “With the lady’s overt defiance against it, he will not let her off easily.”

“Hmph, just a mere Heavenly Dao,” King Yan snorted coldly, “I bet he doesn’t yet know the identities of the lady and the sovereign! Otherwise, I do not believe he would dare do anything.”

“My lord, what should we do now?” Black Impermanence asked directly, “Should we send someone to notify Heavenly Dao?”

King Yan looked towards the Judge, “Judge, set out immediately and inform Heavenly Dao about the sovereign and the lady’s identities. Once he is aware, he’ll know what to do. Presumably, he wouldn’t want the human world to turn into Purgatory.”

“Yes!”

The Judge promptly withdrew.

King Yan waved his hand, signaling Black and White Impermanence to retreat as well.

With so many people’s fates changed, the implications were simply too vast. They in hell had their hands full with work to do.

In the hospital—

Watching Zhong Niangyao’s complexion grow paler day by day, and witnessing her organs continuously failing, Lu Yichen’s face remained ever calm, yet the low pressure emanating from him made the atmosphere increasingly oppressive.

The medical staff who came for daily rounds and check-ups felt an immense pressure every time they entered the room, yet they diligently did their inspections for fear of any mishaps.

Time passed under such oppressive atmosphere.

Outside, various speculations about the airliner incident were rampant; no one could decipher how an airplane with damaged wings could have landed safely at the Imperial Airport, or what could have happened on board.

After the landing, the official investigative departments temporarily detained all passengers and crew members, other than Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say they were placed under house arrest.

Each person had undergone interrogation, but to the officials’ surprise, not one was willing to disclose what had happened on the plane. Or rather, even if some wanted to speak, for some reason, they could not utter a single word.

Most were willing to speak; they chose to respond with silence. Yet there were a few with weaker mental fortitude, who seemed about to relent after persistent questioning, but as they tried to speak, their throats seemed blocked by something, unable to express any words. They couldn’t even write down their thoughts.

There were agents from special departments among those handling the incident. Upon seeing this situation, what more was there to misunderstand? Nevertheless, they tried many methods to no avail. They knew that whoever cast the Forbidden Curse must be an immensely powerful Heavenly Master.

All of them had more or less guessed that the incident on the plane was related to Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao. However, they could not meet these two, let alone question them.

Importantly, when facing Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, they did not dare to take any forceful actions. This was a direct order from the higher-ups.

As a result, the officials could not extract any information about the situation on the plane.

Strictly speaking, these people were not criminals, and could even be considered victims. So, after two days of fruitless house arrest, the officials had no choice but to release them.

Many of them, upon release, did not go home first but immediately sought out Zhong Niangyao’s whereabouts. Even knowing they could not see her, they went to the hospital, content to just watch from a distance.
