I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

"Something seems to be missing?"

"Hmm!" The woman nodded and stopped asking questions. Instead, she said, "It exists in the picture, which is why it has the beauty of the picture. But it is not a living thing and does not have that natural beauty. This is its fate and cannot be changed... Just like people, although they live in this world, they do not know when they will lose everything and end their lives. This is the fate of people."

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan didn't understand what the woman meant, but he was slightly moved. This feeling didn't come from agreement, but rather from the sensation of different perspectives on life coming together...

“I don’t know why you would say that, but I think there’s a reason why people live. Although we don’t know what our fate will be, perhaps it is because of this that the unknown is filled with countless emotions and feelings, and the future is interesting…” Huang Quan said softly.

The woman shook her head, picked up the repaired embroidery, looked at it, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to know who I am?"

"Will you tell me?" Huang Quan asked in return.

Upon hearing this, the woman remained silent for a moment before saying, "Yes, but not now, so... wake up soon."

"Hmm? Wake up soon?" At this moment, Huang Quan seemed to sense something strange in those words.

“You have forgotten in this life, so I hope that this time… you will not forget again…” As she murmured, the woman suddenly shook her hand, turning the lotus embroidery into powder, as if turning its beauty into eternity.

"Don't worry! We will meet again, and then... you will know who I am." With those words, the woman's figure slowly disappeared from the spot, along with the entire wooden house and the withered leaf...

Huang Quan was a little dazed, but before he could react, his body began to disappear as well. These scenes were unmistakably dreamlike.

Just as Huang Quan was beginning to understand something, the swirling mist in the sky suddenly became agile and attacked him directly, as if trying to stop him from comprehending!

But Huang Quan looked at the black mist without making any extra movements. He simply looked at the black mist rushing towards him with clear eyes and then raised his right hand.

"Has it finally appeared? I thought you'd have to wait a while longer." Judging from Huang Quan's expression, he must have known about the existence of the black mist and that this change would happen. So he didn't let the black mist do as it pleased. Instead, as he spoke, he slowly raised his left hand and gently pointed at the black mist.

With that one finger, the entire space trembled slightly, and the black mist showed signs of collapse.

However, the black mist seemed to possess a slight intelligence and resilience. Ignoring this strange collapse, it continued to rush towards the Yellow Springs with a whooshing sound.

Huang Quan ignored him and simply pointed at the black mist again, but this time with a certain amount of force.

"At the moment the Ancient Primordial Divine Tree released the power of heaven and earth, you mixed in and infiltrated it... I'm afraid you were its other side that hasn't completely dissipated yet... You wanted to seize my body, didn't you? Unfortunately, you're destined not to succeed today."

boom!

A deafening roar suddenly rang out, and the momentum of the black mist collapsing intensified rapidly under this last finger strike.

Just as the black mist was about to completely dissipate, it suddenly underwent a tremendous change. A huge black figure, about a hundred meters tall, instantly materialized from the vast black mist.

This giant's features were indistinct; the only prominent feature at this moment was a large tree slowly rising above its head, and the appearance of this tree was exactly the same as that of the ancient primordial spirit tree.

"Roar!" The giant roared, filled with rage towards Huang Quan. It took a step forward, intending to use its immense strength to crush Huang Quan under its feet and vent its hatred.

Huang Quan remained calm as he looked at the approaching giant foot and raised his left hand again towards the giant.

"This baptism of the power of heaven and earth, beginning with the Ancient Primordial Spirit Tree and ending with the collapse of its other side, can be considered a kind of perfection... Your appearance here suggests that your original body also knows this... and it is through your power that I can comprehend the power of heaven and earth, or find my own power of heaven and earth... just like this sky... this earth... this distance..."

At this point, Huang Quan's left hand did not pause, and finally pointed at the giant's brow with the strongest force than before.

boom!

Another terrifying roar echoed through the space, but this time, it seemed like an irresistible force, transforming into an invisible rule that struck the hundred-meter giant squarely between the eyebrows. The force of this blow sent the giant staggering back countless steps, its body shrinking with each step. Finally, its body, now the size of a normal person, collapsed to its knees, utterly weakened.

If it could show an expression at this moment, it would surely be an incredulous and disbelieving look, staring straight at Huang Quan.

But Huang Quan didn't care about any of that. Without pausing, he quickly walked up to it, stretched out his left hand, and pointed directly at its brow, intending to exert force to completely destroy it...

At that moment, a terrified thought suddenly came through.

"Don't kill me... I can tell you the secrets of the Ancient Divine Tree."

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan suddenly paused, his brows furrowing slightly, but he did not immediately stop. Instead, he remained motionless, staring intently at it.

“You…” Seeing Huang Quan frown, it was immediately puzzled.

"Not enough..." Huang Quan finally uttered these two words.

Upon hearing Huang Quan speak, it felt both relieved and tense. It was relieved because it understood that Huang Quan was talking to it now and wouldn't kill it in the short term. It was tense because it also understood that what Huang Quan said was insufficient.

"You should know... you are merely a physical entity evolved from an extremely weak wisp of heaven and earth power, and you have no right to negotiate with me." At this moment, Huang Quan's expression was very calm, and the tone of his words was equally unwavering.

Yet, even in this very Yellow Springs, it directly felt an invisible pressure.

It had no emotional fluctuations before, but at this moment it was suddenly terrified and hurriedly said, "Whatever you want to know, I can tell you... Although I am only a wisp of a physical body, I have survived for countless years... and I have a great deal of experience."

"Oh?" Huang Quan murmured softly, as if lost in thought.

Indeed, just as it said, Huang Quan had many questions he wanted answered. He did not completely believe what the Ancient Yuan Divine Tree told him, whether it was about the four major villages or the matter of the Xiyu clan chief. Instead, he kept it in his heart and waited to verify it one by one in the future.

Now, this physical entity formed from a wisp of the power of heaven and earth can play a corresponding role and answer some of his questions. He believes that he can definitely find the answer in it.

However, it's not so easy to judge whether what it says is true or false.

Huang Quan's gaze turned slightly gloomy, his mind was racing with many thoughts.

But it was precisely this tranquility that kept it from even daring to breathe.

"This person possesses extremely high talent in comprehension... If I were the true whole, his power would be utterly insignificant... But when the whole separated, it itself encountered immense obstacles, ultimately leaving behind this remnant of heaven and earth, rendering the whole incomplete..."

"And my strength has also plummeted, otherwise how could I have lost to this person's power of belief... However, as long as I am alive, there must be a way to return to the group..."

“Before that, we still had to show weakness to survive… And now that he has stopped attacking, it means that he still wants to know something from me… But I don’t know whether he believes what I say or not…” Thinking of the last thing, it looked at Huang Quan’s gloomy eyes again, and its heart sank.

Chapter 189 Leaving the Village

"This person, though young, possesses a calmness that is rare among ordinary people..."

"What's your name..." Huang Quan asked softly, his body still motionless.

"Gu Yin," Gu Yin said quickly. This name was chosen by himself when he was separated from the Ancient Primordial Divine Tree.

At the same time, this also means that he has no further connection with the Ancient Divine Tree.

"Oh?" Huang Quan murmured again, seemingly lost in thought.

"What exactly does he want?" At this moment, a sense of impatience slowly filled Gu Yin. And within this impatience, there was also some unease.

Little did it know that although Huang Quan was staring at it, its thoughts were already running through its mind a thousand times over.

"The Soul Imprint was mentioned briefly in the memories of spiritual consciousness... If I refine him and make him my servant, his words should be more credible."

"It's alright, let's give it a try... If I fail, it won't matter much to me. After all, the information I get from it may not be true, and it's not very useful... But if I succeed..." Thinking of this, Huang Quan's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, as if he had spotted some prey.

Huang Quan suppressed his excitement, snorted coldly, and without any regard for Gu Yin, he pointed directly at its brow. However, he did not use the power of collapse he had used before. Instead, he used a small amount of his own spiritual power in a way that others could not understand to forcefully transfer it into Gu Yin's body.

Gu Yin was startled, sensing this peculiar power, and was completely at a loss...

But having lived for countless years, its experience was undoubtedly profound. It understood that Huang Quan had not used the power of collapse at this moment, which was equivalent to giving it a moment's time.

For it, that was enough time to escape.

Regardless of what this power was, it spun around rapidly, its entire body transforming into layers of black mist, and sped toward the crack in the sky... leaving only its slightly piercing sound echoing slowly in the air.

"Haha...you little brat, once I get out of here, I'll definitely find a chance to devour you to avenge my shame...you just wait, I'll be back..."

Suddenly, just as Gu Yin finished speaking, a cold and calm voice resounded from the depths of its soul.

"May your soul rest in peace!"

The moment those two words appeared, Gu Yin, who had already parted his body, suddenly trembled. It was as if an invisible force had sprung up from nowhere on his entire black mist body, as if it wanted to pull him down directly from that crack.

"This...this is..." Gu Yin murmured, a hint of fear slowly spreading through him.

Sensing this strange power, Gu Yin acted without hesitation in this moment of crisis. The black mist instantly transformed into a large hand, which directly grabbed the crack and used its own power to barely resist.

But just then...

"Soul fixed!"

Two more words rang in its ears, and the strange power seemed to increase several times over under these two words, pulling once more at the black mist formed from the ancient essence.

Gu Yin looked desperate. With a pull, he instantly lost all his strength, let go of the large hand, and fell to the ground on the bluestone platform.

At this moment, the black mist around it gathered again and instantly transformed into a humanoid object. However, it did not make any rash moves. Instead, it stared straight at the person in front of it with a look of shock, anger, and disbelief.

Huang Quan stared at Gu Yin expressionlessly, his heart filled with shock at the absolute control over spiritual power.

"I never imagined that the method of manipulating spiritual energy and consciousness would be so domineering... and this is only the first step. If the remaining second step is completed... what will happen then?"

He stared at Gu Yin, a strange smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips, but that smile sent a chill down Gu Yin's spine.

"You... what exactly do you want?" Although Gu Yin had no physical face, its fear could be heard in its tone.

"Heh! I don't want anything? It's just..." At this point, Huang Quan's previously light smile turned cold in his eyes: "I don't want you to keep thinking about me after you leave..."

Gu Yin Yizheng's face was extremely ugly, but he did not notice that when Huang Quan spoke, he had already taken a step back.

"Just now, it was you who did it... What exactly was that power? Why didn't I feel anything?" Gu Yin suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked in a low voice.

"What power? With your years of experience, how could you not know?" Huang Quan asked, looking troubled, and replied in a slightly strange tone.

Upon hearing Huang Quan's words, Gu Yin felt a chill in his heart and remained silent, instead frantically searching for a way to escape. As a physical being of heaven and earth, possessing self-awareness, its sensitivity to danger was far greater than that of ordinary people.

At this moment, it was already gripped by an inescapable sense of crisis, which imprisoned it. Although it did not affect its actions, it was like a brand in its mind, telling it that it could not make any unnecessary movements, otherwise it would be in danger of destruction.

And so, in this environment, the atmosphere suddenly became eerie, because apart from Gu Yin, even Huang Quan, after saying his previous words, did not take any further action...

But judging from his expression, he seemed to be recalling something.

Gu Yin, however, stared straight at him.

A moment later.

"That should be it..."

At this moment, Huang Quan came to his senses and suddenly took a step forward. Gu Yin was startled and immediately retreated, already about a hundred paces away from Huang Quan. However, it did not stop and immediately prepared to move again.

"Humph!"

Seeing Gu Yin's actions, Huang Quan's eyes instantly revealed a sinister glint. He raised his left hand and aimed it at the spot where Gu Yin was, pulling it back sharply. This pull seemed to manipulate the rules of this place, and the space instantly emitted a series of low rumbling sounds.

But just as this simple action stopped, Gu Yin's figure mysteriously returned to the distance, as if he had never moved at all.

Gu Yin was greatly alarmed, its face turning extremely pale. It didn't speak, and its figure was about to flee again, but how could Huang Quan let it have its way...

Huang Quan pointed with one hand, and in an incredible way, almost instantly, he directly touched Gu Yin's brow.

"what!"

A mournful cry echoed through the space the moment Huang Quan fell into the Yellow Springs.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Yin shouted in a shrill voice, with a hint of fear mixed in.

Its transformed body convulsed incessantly, as if it were enduring immense pain.
