Chapter 417
by fanqienovelChapter 417: The Phenomena of Jiang City Are Unpredictable
“Mei Jing!”
“Once we’ve got everything sorted, we’ll move in together!”
“We’ve got to bring this con artist to justice!”
Li Wenze communicated telepathically with Mei Jing.
Like Li Wenze, Mei Jing had undergone rigorous training and had experience capturing major criminals. She too sensed something fishy in the Star God’s words.
As soon as she received Li Wenze’s message, Mei Jing began to carefully control her facial expressions and inner emotions.
If necessary, she could even feign “excitement” and “admiration.”
As a fate bearer within the police station system, she had honed these skills.
After all, fate bearers have a wide range of professions and abilities.
When dealing with a criminal fate bearer, caution and confidence were key.
They always prepared for the worst-case scenario.
If time allowed and the suspect wasn’t in a rush, and was mentally stable, they’d stabilize the situation and wait for backup.
Coordinating with a team or multiple teams could significantly reduce potential casualties.
As for the idea of a criminal fate bearer being too powerful?
Why would a strong fate bearer stoop to scams and petty theft?
Besides, fate bearers of that caliber were already under the watch of even more advanced fate bearers.
They wouldn’t need to step in.
“You two don’t actually think I’m a fake, do you?”
The Star God glanced at Li Wenze, sounding exasperated.
Their little act wasn’t fooling him.
To him, their suspicion that he was a fake Star God was practically written on their faces.
Sure, if the Fighting God showed up, he might fall for it.
But he wasn’t the Fighting God.
Such simple tricks were as good as giving themselves away in his presence.
“You…”
Li Wenze’s expression shifted. Just as he was about to act, he noticed the room’s space changing.
Starlight began to fill the air around them.
Even in his vision, the Starry Array began to reveal its true form.
In an instant, the immense power of the stars shifted, and the overwhelming force of turning hands into clouds and flipping them into rain struck both of them deeply.
All these phenomena, along with the projection of the Starry Array, confirmed the Star God’s identity beyond doubt.
The figure before them was indeed the real Star God commander!
What he had just dismissed as a scam turned out to be the undeniable truth.
He might truly be one of the divine fate bearers, the God of Fate!
In the distant future, he could very well stand alongside the Star God commander and the God of Martial Arts, united in battle against their foes!
This is no lie!
It’s not a trick!
It’s real!
Yet, he still found it hard to believe.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Just then, another knock sounded at the door.
“Go ahead and open it. Your superior is here.”
With a wave of his hand, the Star God made the surrounding phenomena vanish instantly.
Li Wenze, snapping back to reality at the Star God’s prompt, quickly went to open the door.
Standing there was the head of the Jiang City police station system, the Ninth Level fate bearer, the Fighting Gunner.
“Greetings, commander!”
The Fighting Gunner spoke respectfully upon seeing the Star God.
As the head of the Jiang City police station system, he had spent time at the fate bearer headquarters in the Imperial Capital.
He had also been fortunate enough to meet the Star God commander on a few occasions.
So, the moment he saw the Star God, he knew it was the commander!
The commander’s presence was something no one could ever replicate.
“No need for formalities.”
The Star God said, “Since you’re here, take a seat and listen.”
“But I must warn you, after hearing this, you’ll need to sign a memory-erasure agreement.”
“This matter concerns the nation’s fate, and there’s no room for error.”
Hearing this, the Fighting Gunner’s breath hitched—this was about the nation’s fate!
He was about to hear something of such immense importance!
It was an honor!
Even though his memories of it would be erased, the experience of being part of such a pivotal moment for the country would remain in his body, even if his mind forgot.
In the mysterious realm, glory would be his!
At this thought, the Fighting Gunner’s body trembled slightly with excitement.
In his life, he had no greater desire than to serve his country!
If possible, having his name recorded in the ancestral hall and securing a prominent place in the family tree was a small but meaningful wish of his.
“Li Wenze!”
The Star God’s expression was serious, and his voice, amplified by the unique frequency of star power, carried a distinct rhythmic quality.
“You are not a scout!”
“You are the God of Fate!”
Li Wenze, standing nearby, nodded vigorously.
“Yes! The Star God commander is right, I am the God of Fate!”
After a moment, the Star God glanced at Li Wenze, who remained unchanged, and raised an eyebrow.
Suddenly, nine beams of white light flashed around Li Wenze.
Guided by the Star God’s control, these beams began to pinpoint Li Wenze’s body with precise frequency.
This is!
The method of fate pinpointing!
According to the legacy memories of the Star God of the Eighth Era, this method can fundamentally alter a person’s destiny.
The destiny of the God of Fate is far superior to that of an ordinary fate bearer.
Thus, this method feels more like an insult to the God of Fate, an inexplicable provocation.
It was highly likely that the God of Fate would reveal some difference.
But as the method continued, the result became clear.
Failure!
“Fate Seeking Star Technique!”
“Spirit of Star Turn!”
“Mandate Alteration Technique!”
“……”
In the Star God’s hands, various legendary and extraordinary techniques began to manifest.
The dazzling displays and phenomena caused strange changes in the atmosphere over Jiang City.
At times clear, at times cloudy.
Sometimes with thunder and lightning, sometimes with black energy gathering.
In short, the weather in Jiang City today left everyone baffled.
Within a very short time, the topic of the unpredictable sky in Jiang City trended online, with many netizens leaving comments and jokes.
In an era where martial arts were widely practiced and extraordinary powers began to emerge, there were plenty of sharp minds.
After piecing things together, a group of clever individuals dropped their tasks and chose the fastest and most convenient way to head to Jiang City!
It’s said that strange phenomena in the sky are a sign of rare treasures appearing!
So they wanted to come and see what was happening.
“Star God commander, though my knowledge may be limited.”
After witnessing hundreds of failures, Li Wenze couldn’t help but ask, “But I still feel that perhaps some mistakes have been made in certain areas?”
“I’m actually not the God of Fate.”
“In fact, this is easy to prove—what divine fate bearer, even an unawakened one, would let themselves be looted by the Arrow Realm over money and then tortured?”
“Isn’t my experience too humiliating for a divine fate bearer?”
