Chapter 168 Rewards based on merit
"Those guys are really strange. They almost made it impossible for me to calm down. Fortunately, the male core you made for me before was powerful and suppressed those triangular bodies at the critical moment. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have had to ask Brother Monkey for help to defeat those two triangular bodies."
As Ge Xiaolun spoke, he wanted to take out the triangular prism he had captured to show Hinata, but Hinata simply nodded slightly and said that she knew, thus interrupting Ge Xiaolun's attempt to show off.
What's going on? Didn't the Palace Master come back specifically because she heard we caught the Triangle? Why isn't she as happy as we expected to see us return with the Triangle?
Although Ge Xiaolun seemed carefree, he also noticed something was wrong.
Turning around, he glanced at Wu Zhao and the other members of the Hidden Immortal Palace and noticed that they all had very serious expressions, showing no joy whatsoever after winning a battle.
Everyone, could it be that something happened to Master Xin?
If Ge Xiaolun knew that the Celestial Palace had suffered enormous losses this time, losing more than a hundred second-generation super soldiers, I wonder if he would still be as happy as he is now.
Soon, amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Zhao Xin led tens of thousands of super soldiers back to the capital.
"Thank you all for your hard work. I will award you medals of honor according to your contributions. The rewards for this war will also be distributed soon. Soon, some of you will be promoted to members of the Royal Guard and become true third-generation super soldiers. As for the rest, do not be discouraged. After all, war is coming soon, and you will have plenty of time to realize your ambitions. As long as justice prevails in your hearts, the future of our Asgard Palace will be bright. Gentlemen, let us strive together and make unparalleled contributions."
"May the Celestial Palace last for ten thousand generations, and may its master live for ten thousand years."
"May the Celestial Palace last for ten thousand generations, and may its master live for ten thousand years."
Someone shouted first, and soon everyone seemed to have found their leader, and they all shouted back.
……
Soon, the presentation ended, and all the soldiers who had gone to war were arranged to go back to rest. Hinata led the remaining few people to the council hall.
"Palace Master, I have made a serious mistake this time, which has caused the Immortal Palace to suffer huge losses and forced you to leave your seclusion to rescue us in the midst of your busy schedule. I am truly guilty of a crime deserving of death."
Before he could even sit down, Zhao Xin immediately knelt down, prostrated himself on the ground, and tears streamed down his face.
This battle not only resulted in the loss of many warriors, but Zhao Xin also lost his apprentice Wuji Yi and his younger brother Draven.
Looking at the man sobbing uncontrollably in front of her, Hinata shook her head helplessly.
"That's how war is. Death is inevitable. No matter how meticulous your plans are, there will be all sorts of accidents on the battlefield. Everyone has their own destiny. Those fallen soldiers were destined to suffer this fate. Even if they survived this time, they would die from other accidents. You don't need to worry about it too much."
At her level, she could tell at a glance who was destined to live and who was destined to die.
Wuji Yi and Draven were destined for this calamity; even if they survived this time, they would die in the war to come.
Even super soldiers aren't omnipotent. Even at her level, while she has achieved relative immortality in the known universe, it's only relative; she hasn't truly achieved immortality.
Although the Super God Universe is a world that emphasizes science, the ultimate goal of science is metaphysics—this is a truth.
She didn't understand these things before, but as her cultivation level became higher and higher, she naturally came to understand some mysterious things.
Fate is destiny; everyone has their own destiny, which is not something she can change. Or rather, even if she wanted to change it, she would have to pay a heavy price.
The reason she chose virgins as the bearers of the elven genes was because she was afraid that those people would have too deep an connection with the world and thus affect the entire secluded immortal palace.
Over the years, she has been doing her best to help everyone in the Celestial Palace change their fate, but many people still find it difficult to escape the shackles of destiny.
Cultivation emphasizes following the will of Heaven and changing one's destiny, rather than defying the will of Heaven as commonly believed.
In fact, those warriors should have died in the previous battle against the Taotie, but he forcibly saved them, which meant that he took on their fate. However, their fate was too fragile. Once they left him, their original destiny would be rewritten. Therefore, no matter whether Zhao Xin or someone else led the army this time, those people were destined to die.
Because their fates haven't been completely changed. Unless she forcibly alters their fates.
She now finally understood why the angels and the blazing sun, who also possessed advanced technology, hadn't resurrected those people and warriors who were important to her.
Just like Lieyang, at least Di Tianlin's genes still exist. Given Lieyang's technological level, it is definitely possible to revive him.
But neither the angels nor the blazing sun chose to resurrect those people. Even Death God Karl, known for toying with death, did not arbitrarily resurrect his warriors.
Only Morgana is the only woman who chooses to resurrect her subordinates every time, but those subordinates are always destroyed by angels or other people. This is what is called fate.
The reason she was able to revive the Fourth Hokage in the previous world was mainly because she wielded immense power in that world, enough to influence the entire world's operation.
The same applies to this world, but her influence isn't that great yet; it only affects those around her. As long as these warriors don't leave her, their lives will be safe until she finally becomes incredibly powerful and completely changes her name.
However, those people are not yet powerful enough to do so, which is why they are in a situation where they will die if they leave their own side.
Furthermore, while spiritual practice can change one's fate, there's no claim that technology can change one's fate.
The reason why Minato Namikaze survived to the end was mainly because he practiced the cultivation method he was given. However, these warriors only had their genes modified and did not practice the cultivation method, so their fates were not completely changed.
As a member of a family of cultivators in her previous life, she was quite interested in the I Ching and had also learned a lot of Taoist techniques. Naturally, she knew that changing one's fate was possible, and even defying fate was possible, but the price to pay was extremely high, and even she suffered great losses.
Although she could forcibly resurrect those people, the resulting butterfly effect would be beyond her control.
She came to this world to correct its consciousness, not to cause destruction. She will do her best to do anything that is in line with the world's original course, but she will absolutely not do anything that goes against the world's original trajectory.
