Gu Sheng reveals he stole the Heavenly Treasure Pool Token and confronts Yun Gucheng. Gu Sheng claims he can help Yun Meng and convinces Yun Gucheng to talk outside. He explains that the current methods are only delaying the inevitable and that the root cause of Yun Meng's condition must be addressed. Gu Sheng then reveals the Life-controlling Yin Disc, which immediately calms Yun Gucheng's turbulent mind and shocks him deeply.

Yun Gucheng was suddenly jolted, slowly lowering the hands clutching his head. The madness and confusion in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by deep terror, intense doubt, and... a faint hope that even he could not believe.

Gu Sheng watched him regain clarity, his tone still calm, as if the awe-inspiring Life-controlling Yin Disc was just a trivial toy he casually displayed.

"If the guidance of the Heavenly Destiny Star Disc is not enough to convince you, then this Life-controlling Yin Disc should further prove my identity."

Yun Gucheng stared intently at the slowly dissipating Shadow of the Compass, his expression changed drastically again! This time, it was no longer skepticism but a shock and confirmation that stemmed from his bloodline, from the depths of his soul!

He suddenly stood up, his movements jittery with excitement, quickly walked to Gu Sheng, and, with a "thud," knelt on one knee, cupping his fists in respect, his voice trembling with uncontrollable reverence.

"The Reversing Fate Yang Plate protects the family. Yun Clan’s 906th descendant, Yun Gucheng... pays homage to the contemporary Lord of Destiny!"

Gu Sheng glanced at him, not showing much surprise, and merely said lightly, "Rise."

Although he didn’t know Yun Gucheng’s exact identity before, on the way to Sunset Ancient Town, with the celestial changes and revelations of the Heavenly Destiny Star Disc, he had already guessed that this matter was likely related to the Fate lineage’s cause and effect.

However, he didn’t expect to encounter the descendant of the Yun Clan, who was the rumored guardian of the Supreme Treasure opposite to the "Life-controlling Yin Disc"—the "Reversing Fate Yang Plate."

"Speak while standing up."

Gu Sheng indicated.

Only then did Yun Gucheng obey and stand up, but his demeanor was still extremely respectful, with a slightly bowed head.

Gu Sheng turned his gaze to the tightly closed side room and asked, "The one lying inside, what is their relation to you?"

Yun Gucheng answered frankly, his voice tinged with pain, "It’s my younger sister, Yun Meng."

He raised his head, his eyes filled with expectation and the last bit of struggle.

"Lord of Destiny... you... you just said, you might be able to save her... is that true?"

A confident and composed look appeared on Gu Sheng’s face, as if all the difficulties in the world had a pattern to follow in his eyes.

"Since she can resonate with the Heavenly Destiny Star Disc, it indicates that her condition is highly likely related to the Fate Inheritance, or rather, the forces on the level of destiny and cause and effect.

If we carefully investigate and find the root of the problem, it is not necessarily unsolvable."

Hearing this, Yun Gucheng frowned slightly, a flicker of doubt flashed in his eyes. He looked at Gu Sheng and couldn’t help but say, "Lord of Destiny, you... seem very confident? But you haven’t even examined Meng’er’s situation in detail..."

Gu Sheng glanced at him, his tone was calm yet carried an unquestionable certainty.

"Before being certain, I naturally wouldn’t make rash assertions.

But first, we must determine whether her symptoms are within the scope of the Fate Inheritance. If so, I have my plans. If not..."

He paused, his tone casual yet startling.

"Within three days, I can also cure her."

"Three days?!"

Yun Gucheng exclaimed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Having spent ten years and sought out famed healers to no avail, the other party dared claim she could be cured in three days?

"Lord of Destiny, what... what price do you require me to pay?"

Yun Gucheng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and asked in a deep voice.

He knew well that there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world, especially when dealing with such a legendary figure as the Lord of Destiny.

Gu Sheng waved his hand, saying, "The conditions can only be determined after I examine her specific situation. It is too early to talk about these now."

He glanced at Yun Gucheng’s tense expression and added, "You don’t always have to talk about ’staking your life’ and ’giving everything.’ If I wanted your life, I wouldn’t have conversed with you just now."

Shifting his tone, a deep glint flashed in his eyes.

"However, if this matter goes smoothly, there is indeed something I need your help with."

"What is it?"

Yun Gucheng immediately asked.

"Help me find the third Compass."

Gu Sheng said indifferently.

Yun Gucheng was momentarily stunned, then suddenly understood that the Supreme Treasures of the Fate lineage’s inheritance were reportedly not singular.

He was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Lord of Destiny, it is not that Gucheng is suspicious, but... such windfall is hard for Gucheng to believe. You healing my younger sister is already a great kindness, and you even wish to assist my Yun Clan in retrieving the Supreme Treasure? This..."

Seeing his cautious and skeptical yet eagerly hopeful demeanor, Gu Sheng wasn’t displeased. Instead, a trace of imperceptible satisfaction appeared in his eyes. This young man’s resilient nature, maintaining alertness in the face of despair, knowing how to weigh options, was indeed to his liking.

This character, this conduct, this suspicious streak reminded him of the ancestor of the Law Enforcement Hall in Central Province from his previous life, renowned for his impartiality and meticulousness...

...

Outside the side room in the small courtyard of Sunset Ancient Town.

The night wind seemed even colder.

Gu Sheng looked at the still anxious Yun Gucheng and finally said, "The terms can wait until I confirm your sister’s situation."

Yun Gucheng gritted his teeth and insisted, "Whatever the conditions, as long as the Lord of Destiny can save Meng’er, I will not hesitate to die a thousand deaths! I only ask the lord... not to harm her."

"Let’s go."

Gu Sheng said no more and headed towards the side room.

Seeing this, Yun Gucheng hurriedly stepped forward, opened the door first, and at the same time reminded, "Lord of Destiny, this ’Nine Revolutions Rebirth Array’ can still be maintained for three days, which is crucial for Meng’er’s survival. Please be careful, do not disturb the core of the Array."

Gu Sheng nodded, just about to step inside.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed deeply, his steps halted, and he looked up at the pitch-black night sky, murmuring softly.
