Chapter 1965

On the stone lotus island, Red Lotus’ will gives Feng Jiu Ge two things besides the memories: the rank eight future self killer move and the Immortal Gu recipe of destiny Gu. As Dao Guardian of the predestined Great Dream Immortal Venerable, he can instantly gain pseudo venerable battle strength through future self and use his strongest future state at once. In history, the will adds, every Dao Guardian who matured reached that level. The recipe is incomplete, made from the destiny song he will create. The complete song comes a thousand years later, but fate Gu is not destroyed completely yet and will not allow a direct gift. So the will converted it into a rank nine destiny Gu recipe that lets him comprehend destiny song in its initial form. Over the next thousand years he will modify the song until it grows by extracting destiny from those it hits, yet while fate Gu exists it stays sealed. ^{ch. 1965}

The inheritance suits his needs completely and he cannot refuse it. He thanks the will, says Fang Yuan had already warned him many times, and refuses to destroy Fate or resist Heavenly Court just because of it. The will asks for nothing and leaves the choice to him, and Feng Jiu Ge leaves with a heavy heart. Thinking of Red Lotus, whom Fate favored while taking his parents and lover, he asks himself whether he truly desires his Dao Guardian status, which nobody ever asked him about. ^{ch. 1965}

In youth he loved music and wanted to create nine songs to express himself, all living beings, and heaven and earth. In a mountain valley he found the inheritance of the sound path great expert Spatial Sound Immortal Master and became a rank six Gu Immortal without a commotion. When two Gu Immortals who had sung with him one night were framed and hunted by the righteous path, he fought all ten great ancient sects alone. The sects branded him a demonic cultivator, yet they lost miserably. He met Fairy Bai Qing and joined Spirit Affinity House on the righteous path. He prefers to see all of it as his own choice, including loving Fairy Bai Qing and Feng Jin Huang, and not as something Fate decreed. ^{ch. 1965}

Destroying Fate would go against his interest, since Feng Jin Huang is the Great Dream Immortal Venerable decreed by fate Gu, yet nobody asked her either whether she really wants it. He hesitates, unsure whether he would destroy fate Gu if she liked that fate. He saves her on Hairy Foot Mountain by singing destiny song, and with rank eight future self he is among the strongest Gu Immortals in the world. Fang Yuan transmits asking what he thinks of the killer move, and Feng Jiu Ge stays silent, though inwardly he admits it is truly his song, holding his own voice. He grasps that he created destiny song and not a fate song, and that Fang Yuan and Red Lotus Demon Venerable, knowing his nature, used his own voice to convince himself. He sings to understand his true feelings, and his wife and daughter are part of his life but not all of it. Back at his first aim, he has created nine songs but has not yet sung all of life and the world, and fate restrains his singing like invisible hands. ^{ch. 1965}

Fang Yuan transmits that the creator of destiny song cannot align with Heavenly Court. Feng Jiu Ge replies secretly that he will not join unless Fate can be easily destroyed, since Heavenly Court and Central Continent have treated him well, so everything still depends on Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan tells him to watch, takes a hit from Duke Long on purpose and falls toward Embroidered Tower, activating Reckless Savage Demon Venerable’s hidden arrangement. To Feng Jiu Ge’s surprise, Fang Yuan uses Reckless Savage Demon Venerable’s strength to overwhelm heaven and destroy fate Gu directly. When Red Lotus’ will appears again, Feng Jiu Ge gradually realizes the plot Red Lotus Demon Venerable set, and when Fang Yuan asks for destiny Gu’s recipe he finally acts, helping Fang Yuan by his own choice. He once declared himself neither demonic nor righteous. Having left the demonic path for the righteous one, he now knows it is time to go back, because he is still Feng Jiu Ge. ^{ch. 1965}
