Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

Chapter 206 Beautiful White Moon

Before Qin Huaiyu could react, he felt himself being pulled in by a strange suction force.

The scene changes again.

The gold color was replaced by a light that resembled nature. The surroundings were empty and had edges, and the space was roughly several tens of feet in size.

"This is the divine sense space of the Divine Treasury Realm..."

Qin Huaiyu was very curious. How exactly did this form?

Divine senses have always been mysterious and elusive. They appear to be formless, yet they can sense and probe, and sometimes they can even be used as a means of attack.

In the original world, science might explain it as an energy fluctuation, but now the intangible is creating the tangible.

Was it nurtured by nightmare energy and opened up on its own?

Or is it another dimension?

He leans more towards the latter, because at least it can be explained by inherent logic, but in reality, the fundamental reason is still unclear.

Cultivation is already difficult to explain, let alone other things.

Why do people create trouble for themselves?

Use your brain where it's useful.

Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but think of the thrilling scene he had just witnessed.

If I hadn't woken up in time, I'm afraid my consciousness would have been completely asleep by now.

Thinking about it now still gives me a chill.

But what exactly is it that appears when one's heart is most vulnerable? Is it a test of inner demons, a test of one's inner turmoil?

………wrong.

The feeling was very real, including the malice of the final illusion, which was completely genuine.

It's more like they're deliberately trying to kill me.

Even with external forces interfering, it's impossible for Yanxi and Sister Yun not to notice.

Unless their power far surpasses theirs, but with such strength, there's no need to be secretive; they could just openly kill me, and no one could stop them.

Could it be...?

As if he had just thought of something, he immediately exited the divine sense space.

Consciousness returns.

Qin Huaiyu quickly opened his eyes and saw a campfire burning, the crimson flames particularly dazzling under the bright moonlight.

The two women beside them were bathed in moonlight, their clothes fluttering, pure and holy, like fairies untouched by blood.

They looked up at the sky, the winding path flawless.

"The moonlight?"

Qin Huaiyu stared wide-eyed in the direction the two were looking.

The crescent moon hangs high in the sky, its color as white as snow, pure and flawless.

That's right, it's pure white, without a single blemish or any trace of blood red.

Even the surrounding dark clouds were dispelled, revealing scattered starlight.

The light shone down, and the halo seemed to cover everything like a new dress; everything was so peaceful.

He had a strange feeling that his soul had returned to its homeland. "Won't I run into something again?"

Having learned from past mistakes, Qin Huaiyu was extra cautious this time.

"What happened, this moon?" he asked tentatively.

"Mingyue, I never imagined that the ancient book was actually true."

Chu Yanxi looked at the moon and continued:

"Its color is like white jade, bright and clear, with a halo like frost, flowing like silver, exactly as described."

Yun Suyan frowned slightly and said:

"This moon is said to have appeared hundreds of years ago, and even in ancient times. Each of its appearances foreshadows the beginning of an ominous era. But what could trigger such a sign?"

As they spoke, the two women seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Qin Huaiyu at the same time.

They scrutinized him from head to toe, as if trying to see right through him.

………Forehead?

Qin Huaiyu stood up and hurriedly said:

"Why are you looking at me? I'm just a minor cultivator, how could I have such great abilities?"

Despite saying that, he was still suspicious.

Is it a coincidence? But this is too much of a coincidence. I broke through to a higher realm, and it changed color.

It feels like I triggered this strange phenomenon myself.

And what about that external force? Could it be the cause?

...That can't be right.

After listening, the two women thought for a moment and nodded. Even if he was the chosen one, they didn't think he could cause any unusual signs.

Moreover, the two of them had been guarding them the whole time, and apart from the noise caused by breaking the barrier, they hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Yun Suyan put aside her chaotic thoughts and asked:

"Young man, how are you feeling now? Are you injured anywhere?"

"It's nothing. I coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood when I broke through to the next realm, but I'm fine now."

Qin Huaiyu smiled and asked:

"Sister Yun, what did you mean by 'the world is inauspicious' just now?"

Seeing that no one was harmed, Yun Suyan was relieved and said:

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. It's said that a disaster will befall us, but the details are ambiguous. Some say it's man-made, while others say it's a natural disaster."

Natural disasters are understandable, but man-made disasters...

Qin Huaiyu felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if the scene was directed at him, since the illusory scene seemed like the heavens were trying to destroy him.

That's impossible!

Chu Yanxi, standing to the side, curled her lips into a meaningful smile and said:

You need to be careful.

Qin Huaiyu's face stiffened, then he pursed his lips and said:

"What does it have to do with me? Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, it's not my turn."

Without waiting for the two to speak again, he quickly changed the subject.

"Alright, it's getting late. Get some rest, we have to travel tomorrow."

After speaking, he closed his eyes and lay down on the spot.

Seeing this, the two women remained silent.
