My gorgeous wife Chapter 2021 - 1989: Suan Tian and Old Ghost

A middle-aged man, still with a smile, suggested performing a divination for Li Chen and Chris. However, after casting Li Chen’s fortune, he bolted as if he had encountered a terrifying spectre.

This bizarre turn of events left Christina thoroughly perplexed and Li Chen himself astonished.

The middle-aged man's earlier murmurs were only audible to himself. Though his lips moved slightly, Li Chen couldn't decipher the words, but the final utterance, 'What monster?', reached his ears.

Li Chen couldn't help but let out a wry chuckle. Since his debut, he had indeed been labeled a monster by many, but this referred to his formidable combat power and exceptional cultivation talent.

He understood that these gifts were bestowed upon him by the Seven Realms Tome.

Yet, no one had ever gazed upon him with the sheer terror the middle-aged man displayed, as if he were a true aberration.

Even Li Chen found it hard to comprehend what aspect of him could provoke such a strong person into such a panicked state.

It must be remembered, this was the God Subduing Swamp, a place from which Li Chen himself wasn't certain he could escape unscathed without employing extraordinary measures.

Yet, the middle-aged man appeared to depart without any regard for the swamp's potent restraints, simply flying away.

Could such a powerful being genuinely be terrified of him?

"What exactly did you do?" Back on the raft, even Christina couldn't refrain from questioning Li Chen.

She had clearly witnessed the middle-aged man's abject fear.

"Believe me if I said I did nothing?" Li Chen managed a dry laugh, equally baffled. Was there truly something so dreadful about his palm?

In Li Chen's estimation, while he had achieved much, a significant amount of good fortune also accompanied him.

Without this pervasive luck, Li Chen was convinced his strength, though considerable, would be far more constrained.

He possessed neither an overabundance of self-belief nor an excessive underestimation of his capabilities.

Having cultivated to his current level, any vestiges of arrogance or complacency had long since vanished. His journey had been fraught with hardship, marked by numerous setbacks and countless moments of desperate flight.

But a mere sliver of luck shouldn't have instilled such profound fear in such a potent individual, should it?

Li Chen pondered, but no answers emerged. He could only let out a quiet sigh and shake his head.

"Let's move on; we continue forward."

Christina nodded, setting aside the peculiar incident. She paid it no further mind.

Unbeknownst to them, after escaping the God Subduing Swamp, the middle-aged man rapidly increased his distance from the treacherous locale.

Gazing back towards the God Subduing Swamp, residual dread still painted the middle-aged man's face: "Damn it, the omens of both world destruction and creation appeared on a single individual simultaneously. What kind of monster is this? A creator? And he also bears the Reincarnation Seal, faint though it may be, it did not escape my notice. The Reincarnation Seal... wasn't that exclusive to Guangming?"

At that precise moment, a figure emerged from the ethereal mists, swiftly approaching the middle-aged man.

"Old Ghost, you've come as well?" Upon seeing the approaching silhouette, the middle-aged man couldn't help but speak.

Were Li Chen present, he would undoubtedly recognize this figure as the tracker he had observed shadowing Tian Yi and the others not long ago. Without question, this tracker was also an exceptionally skilled warrior.

"I didn't anticipate Brother Suan Tian would be here too. This location is quite close to the God Subduing Swamp; is Brother Suan Tian hoping to witness the divine techniques of the Innate Gods and Demons?" The pallid youth, known as Old Ghost, inquired politely, yet their exchange clearly indicated a comfortable familiarity between them.

"The divine skills of the Innate Gods and Demons are indeed captivating. My initial intention was to find a pair to observe, but this time... I genuinely encountered a ghost!" Suan Tian declared, his voice still tinged with apprehension. "Of course, not a spirit like yourself."

"Encountered a ghost?" The pale youth, Old Ghost, responded with evident curiosity.

"Indeed! Let me elucidate; that individual possesses both the creation..." Suan Tian began, but abruptly halted, tilting his head to survey the serene sky above.

"Let it be. Though this locale offers significant concealment for destiny, the prying heavens can still peer in. Certain matters are beyond my purview to discuss extensively." Suan Tian shook his head, adding, "However, Old Ghost, I must impart a crucial caution: should you ever cross paths with that individual, under no circumstances should you become their adversary!"

With a casual flourish of his hand, Suan Tian conjured an image in the air beside him, clearly showing Li Chen.

"Him?" Upon glimpsing Li Chen, Old Ghost displayed a flicker of surprise.

"You recognize him?" Suan Tian, possessing a lifetime of experience and acute senses, discerned the reaction in Old Ghost's expression immediately.

"I have encountered him once before." Old Ghost affirmed with a nod. "This is the person favored by the Supreme."

"The individual the Supreme favors..." Suan Tian was momentarily taken aback, suddenly grasping the reason behind Li Chen's extraordinary fortune.

"However, how can one reconcile the omens of world destruction and creation, and the mention of the One-thought Saint Demon? Those signs of annihilation and genesis are solely associated with the World-Destroying Beast, while the One-thought Saint Demon... doesn't this imply he is both a world-slaughtering demon lord and a world-saving redeemer?" Suan Tian pondered aloud.

"Brother Suan Tian, is something amiss?" Observing Suan Tian's troubled expression, Old Ghost also felt a sense of gravity descend.

Others might be oblivious, but Old Ghost was well aware that Brother Suan Tian practiced the art of divination, boasting unparalleled precision. Even during the tumultuous Ancient Wars, he played an instrumental role, accurately predicting the emergence of the Doomsday Beast Soul. Ultimately, the Four Realms paid a heavy price to seal the gateway along with the Doomsday Beast Soul, bringing a close to the Ancient Wars.

Yet, for such a venerated figure to now wear such an expression indicated that he had uncovered something of profound significance.

"It is nothing." After careful consideration, Suan Tian ultimately abstained from further speculation, shaking his head with a wry chuckle. "Since he is the one favored by the Supreme, there must be an underlying reason. As for the ultimate outcome, I shall refrain from making hasty judgments."

"However, Old Ghost, we have been acquainted for countless eons. Still, I must advise you: if at all possible, maintain your distance from him. Should you have any cherished companions, they too should avoid proximity to him."

"May I ask why?" Old Ghost inquired, curiosity piqued.

Suan Tian paused, eventually divulging a piece of information that, while not critically important, was revealing nonetheless.

"His destiny possesses a flaw."

"A flaw in his destiny?" Old Ghost exclaimed, taken aback.

"Although it appears it has been tampered with by another, I can still discern that his original life pattern was that of... a Lonesome Star of Heavenly Slaughter!"
