Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Viper, Half Face, Weiden, died in the Flying Airship explosion.

Gray Powder, Flame Python, died to Thunder Pool shrapnel.

Tinfoil Paper, Smoke, Broken Clouds, Blessing, Golden Chrysanthemum died to a Disaster Beast in the sea.

Happy Family, died in the Flying Airship explosion.

Stone Crusher, body weight too great to float up, died to a Disaster Beast.

...

Yellow Boots, cable car, Paper Crane, fruit stalk... Beetle, eleven people held on until the rescue team arrived, survived by sheer luck, and smoothly joined Blessing Park.

From then on, new identities, new lives.

Flight KD401, a Flying Airship from Gray Port to Tide City, carried a total of forty-seven passengers and six crew.

These Chosen Ones, Assassins, assassins, wanted criminals, Mercenaries from all over the world, from Thousand Island Central Earth and even the Empire, because of heavy rain, flight delay, traffic accidents, or for discounts or simply a moment's carelessness, by coincidence boarded the same flight, and thus ran into an accident caused by extreme weather, perishing in the vast sea—truly unfortunate.

Along with them, more than fifty-one secret commissions from Desert Market and other platforms all blew up with the flight, and four middlemen were consequently silenced.

This brutal accident occupied the top headline slot of many West Sea media that day for a full… ten minutes, and was then replaced by the news of an Empire movie queen cheating in marriage.

No one cared.

Because the crashed Flying Airship had long exceeded its operational service life and was poorly maintained, after the investigation, the Federal Insurance Company refused to pay out.

Later, the operating company went completely bankrupt, and its remaining assets were acquired by Wanli Finance, which, after buying up four airlines including Gray Port, Shiye, Xi Island, carried out restructuring and merger...

"It's done, Uncle Ting. Special Thunder Pool missile, extra charge-free dosage."

Once the big red button was slapped down, the launch platform in the sea rose up, and an Alchemy Missile Ji Jue had refined earlier based on Zanlu had already ripped into the sky.

In barely half a minute, the target vanished from the radar.

Just like after cracking sunflower seeds all afternoon, then dumping a full bowl of saved-up kernels straight into your mouth and going wild chew-chew-chew.

Really stress-relieving!

"It's just..."

Ji Jue hesitated for a moment, but finally still asked: "There won't be any innocents, right?"

"Hahahahaha, that's the one thing you don't need to worry about."

On the other end of the call, Uncle Ting was tickled, laughing triumphantly up at the sky: "You have no idea how much effort your uncle here burned through to round up this whole boatful of people!

I guarantee every single soul on that Flying Airship, from captain to crew to passengers, all deserved to die ten times over!

If it weren't for time being tight, I'd have liked to let them play a round of Werewolf first..."

Tong Ting said, eyes dancing: "Eh, shame the An Family is too stingy, wouldn't give me a cent. The wind's tight over in the Empire, and it's not easy to grope around blindly on the Federation's side either, otherwise I wouldn't have needed to bother you."

"Uh, this..."

Ji Jue stared, dumbstruck.

Come on, uncle, you've got at least a mild case of OCD, right? Also, what do you mean the An Family wouldn't give you a cent? How is this suddenly about the Empire and the Federation?

"What the hell did you people do..."

"Just, ahem, all sorts of things. Anyway, mm, it's a long story..." Tong Ting seemed to be dodging the question, yet carried a certain malicious glee: "Interested in hearing the details?"

"...I'll pass!"

Ji Jue forced down his curiosity and shook his head outright—though the ether folks usually don't start trouble, once they do, their ability to stir shit up is downright over the top.

You sit in Hai Province just watching the scenery, minding nothing at all, and your enemies' corpses drift downriver right to your doorstep. What's worse is, from beginning to end, it has absolutely nothing to do with you.

Even the missiles were lifted from Ji Jue!

Wait, don't tell me the An Family is also...

"All right, enough small talk, let's get to the point."

Tong Ting cut off his laughter and went straight in: "New Spring's been off these two days."

"Mm..."

Ji Jue mused for a moment: "What you mean is, from ether's perspective, there's something anomalous?"

"Exactly."

On the other end, a hint of approval colored Tong Ting's voice.

He gets it in one.

In fact, every time he thought about how his own dad had let this kind of gem roam wild and slipped past them, he couldn't help grinding his teeth in regret… Now that he's grabbed hold, why wait to refine on the spot?

Only after Ji Jue started stirring things up did he truly appreciate Old Deng's foresight.

If you really let such a disruptive Supreme Chosen inherit the mantle, and anything goes wrong, the Tong family's little capital wouldn't be enough to cover the fallout.

So, first, build favor.

That's how we ether people play our GAL routes!

Even if the childhood friend can't beat the girl who drops from the sky, there's still the bond of shared history. If you want things to last, you don't squeeze every penny or burn every bridge.

This time, Tong Ting rarely came out personally to make a little move, partly as hands-on support for New Spring, to show some usefulness.

And partly to verify New Spring's "anomaly".

"Strictly speaking, though, there isn't any anomaly."

Tong Ting paused, then sighed regretfully: "Whether it's the foreshadowing we buried earlier or the clues we released, judging from the pacing and developments, ether's observation doesn't show any particularly major issues. It's nothing more than intersecting cause and effect.

The weird part is, it's all just a bit too 'normal'."

That's right—even with all the recent incidents, from ether's point of view, they're still normal.

New Spring's booming growth will inevitably trigger conflicts and trouble. That's all perfectly natural; what's abnormal about it?
