The boy easily dodged the attack, his movements so fluid they seemed inhuman. "I am 'another possibility,'" he said. "I am the being born from the path you did not choose. Like you, Chu Mo. What if you hadn't pressed that detonation button? Would you have become a general commanding a million soldiers? Or a gentle father?"

"Shut up!" Chu Mo's eyes flashed red, and when his fist slammed into the ground, a large piece of stone slab shattered!

The boy remained calm and instead gently turned the pages of the book: "Chapter One - Choices and Costs".

Suddenly, the entire tower began to shake violently, and countless images appeared within its walls: in each image, different people were experiencing different lives!

Chapter 1088 The Chosen Experiment

As Chenxi gazed at the illusion before her, her voice trembled slightly: "This is the branching of fate? So... it's not just three worlds, but thousands upon thousands! Every moment splits into new possibilities... and we... are merely chosen experimental subjects!"

Su Ting suddenly looked up: "So why are we here?!"

The boy's gaze deepened for the first time: "Because 'Master' feels... you are ready."

The lightning outside the door suddenly stopped, and the entire space fell into an eerie silence.

Then, the door burst open—

A man dressed in a black robe walked slowly towards them.

His features were blurry and indistinct, as if he were not a person at all.

Countless thin lines of light trailed behind him, each connecting to a distant point in time. It was as if he could tear apart and reshape the entire universe with a mere flick of his finger.

Chu Mo gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it! I hate these mysterious, pretentious types the most! Who are you?"

The man stopped and chuckled softly.

"I am Augris."

He looked at Ji Yan, as if he could see right through his entire memory.

“Ji Yan, I know what you’re thinking—you’re doubting whether this fire truly belongs to you.”

Ji Yan gripped his weapon tightly: "Nonsense."

"You once thought it was a power you were born with, but it was actually a gift from me. It never belonged to you."

"Bullshit!" Ji Yan roared, flames erupting around him. "I carved my own bloody path! I don't need anyone to grant me that!!"

The air was almost frozen.

“Very good,” Augris smiled. “Then let’s see—what will you have left when you completely lose this power?”

In an instant, the black flames within Ji Yan's body seemed to be drained away. He froze completely.

The woman in white immediately blocked his way, her dragon spear bursting with unprecedented blazing light: "You think this will scare us?!"

She stepped forward: "Dragon Soul Awakening - Ultimate Mode!"

But the very next second, a sentence rang out in the air:

"You've lost it too."

The words were as soft as a sigh, yet they sent a shiver through her entire right arm, abruptly halting the surging energy within her!

Su Ting attempted to activate the mechanical amplification system on his body—only to find that all his modification programs were locked.

The "Eye of the Stars" cast by dawn was extinguished at that moment.

They all... lost their power.

And Ogrius's voice continued:

"Welcome back to the beginning, children. This time... survive with your own hands."

The boy smiled and said, "Don't worry. You still have many stories to tell. Now is the time to rewrite them."

Chu Mo snorted coldly and cracked his knuckles: "Huh? If you don't have the ability, you don't have the ability. A few of us men can still take down a whole herd of oxen."

He looked at Ji Yan: "Brother, don't you think so?"

Ji Yan took a deep breath and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"I've said it before. My hands now... can also grasp the future."

He looked up at Augris.

"Since you don't believe that I can control my own destiny, then I'll show you with my own eyes—I will write my own ending."

The wind whistled through the gaps at the top of the tower, rustling among their shadows.

The man in black robes watched silently as the five people ascended the stairs step by step...

"This journey isn't over yet," he said to the boy beside him. "Who do you think will actually make it out of this tower this time?"

What kind of crazy tricks can Chapter 1089 pull?

The boy closed the last chapter and whispered his reply.

"When the world no longer needs protagonists, the true king will appear."

Another storm is brewing outside—

Welcome to Chapter Two.

The storm outside whipped up a sandstorm.

The five people stood in front of the spiraling stone steps and exchanged glances.

Chu Mo took the first step, landing on the first step: "I want to see what kind of tricks this bastard can pull!"

Su Ting frowned as he surveyed his surroundings: "Strange... After the power was taken away, the entire space became clearer than before. It's as if... this is its original state."

As dawn broke, he reached out and traced the ancient runes on the wall with his fingertips. His voice was low and deep: "This is not an illusion, not nothingness... It is real, and it is very dangerous."

The woman in white gently touched her arm, a hint of annoyance on her face. "My prosthetic arm is still functioning, but the feeling of resonating with the 'Dragon Soul' is completely gone. My combat strength is now only a little over half."

Ji Yan walked at the front, his steps steady and silent.

“It’s alright.” He spoke softly, his voice carrying a kind of cold yet burning will. “We have never been people who live by strength.”

The boy's figure suddenly appeared beside the tower wall, leaning against a broken window frame, a smile on his lips: "To be honest, the five of you are all little fish that escaped from the sea of ​​fate."

Chu Mo angrily retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! You'll see who's the little fish and who's the shark."

Orgrim has vanished, leaving only a single sentence that echoes among these towers—

Welcome to Chapter Two.

They continued climbing, the stairs steep and dark, each step feeling like stepping into the edge of a bottomless dream.

“Speaking of which,” Chenxi finally broke the silence, “why are we going uphill? Just how tall is this tower…?”

Su Ting glanced down at the recorder in his pocket: "Navigation has failed. Even the direction of gravity seems a bit off. Perhaps we're... entering some kind of non-linear spatial structure?"

The woman in white snorted coldly: "If you have time to study these things, why don't you tell me how to deal with the next level?"

Before he could finish speaking, a cold light slashed down from above!

Ji Yan, with sharp eyes and quick reflexes, drew his sword from its sheath and blocked the black blade. The two collided and tumbled to the ground before quickly separating.

The other party was a figure dressed in jet-black armor, whose face could not be seen, only a pair of eyes burning with red flames.

“Ha,” the man scoffed, “another batch of clowns getting their deaths? How utterly boring.”

Chu Mo threw a punch, but it was bounced back by the armor, making his wrist go numb: "Hey, who are you? State your name!"

The armored man said coldly, "Me? I was you all before."

The air solidified instantly.

"What do you mean?" The woman in white gripped her spear tightly.

The other person pointed to their helmet and slowly lifted it.

A face that looked almost exactly like Ji Yan's appeared before everyone.

Except for a strange black mark on his left eye, his other facial features are completely identical.

"What's going on?" Su Ting's pupils suddenly contracted. "Another you... or... your future?"

"I am the true king," "Ji Yan" said coldly, "and you... should have failed long ago."

Ji Yan took two steps forward, looked directly at him, and said in a flat tone, "You're also an illusion created by that guy, aren't you?"

Chapter 1090 The ending was already written.

“You can think of it that way.” The other person grinned. “Or you can believe… that you are the one who came later, and I am just someone who was stripped of everything. You thought you could freely choose your life, but fate had already written the ending.”

He brandished his massive, black-flaming blade, declaring, "Let me end this absurd game with my own hands."

Chu Mo roared and pounced on him: "Fuck fate! I'm going to kick this piece of shit plot to the ground today!"

The battle is imminent!

However, the group that had lost their abilities were clearly at a disadvantage. The black-clad Ji Yan's movements were extremely fluid and swift, and each move seemed to carry the power of the rules.

The woman in white was forced into a corner, and Su Ting had already been slashed several times.

Ji Yan single-handedly confronted his opponent, his twin swords clashing against the Black Flame Heavy Blade, producing violent sparks and explosions upon impact.
