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

"Huh? You mean, it doesn't really matter whether I understand you or not... right?" Huang Quan asked.

"Yes! It's just a pity that I only understand this now. So, whether it's me or Mo Mu, we've both gone down the wrong path! We don't understand that person." For some reason, the gray-robed man's expression suddenly dimmed.

"That person? Who is it?" Huang Quan's eyes narrowed, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"You will know someday in the future..." The gray-robed past life shook his head, not telling Huang Quan the specifics, but only giving him an outline, because the gray-robed past life felt that Huang Quan was different from them, and he felt that Huang Quan could find the answer on his own.

"I have many questions..."

"Heh, nothing in this world goes as planned. Put your questions aside for now! Because you and I must fight!"

"why?"

The man in gray remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "In this world, if your thoughts become reality, then it will either be you or him..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he didn't ask any further questions, but simply stated a fact naturally: "You are no match for me. I believe you've realized that too..."

“Indeed, my ‘Supreme Goodness is Like Water’ has not been fully mastered, and I even believe it has not been mastered at all, so it is difficult for me to fight against you. But I have a technique that contains everything about me. If you can dodge it, I will take it as an answer to my question and let you leave here... How about it?”

“In that case, I will respectfully accept your offer!” Without hesitation, Huang Quan’s expression turned resolute as he nodded directly.

With another smile, the man in gray, having said no more, slowly extended his left hand and gently touched the void...

Suddenly, the world changed, and everything in Huang Quan's eyes vanished...

A vast, crystal-clear lake silently appeared at the foot of the Yellow Springs...

At the same time, they were suddenly surrounded by dense mountains...

It wasn't over yet. A refreshing feeling of greenery welled up in Huang Quan's heart at this moment, and the beautiful chirping of insects and birds echoed in Huang Quan's ears from time to time, like melodious music...

Green hills and clear waters, a landscape painting.

The chirping of insects and the calls of birds fill the ears with music.

All of this instantly calmed Huang Quan's heart, as if his caution, his resolve, everything about him was as natural and still as the surface of water untouched by anything...

Besides this beautiful...night.

At this moment, the gray-robed figure standing on the water smiled calmly, and somehow, a small pebble appeared in his hand...

"The highest virtue is like water..." he murmured softly, as the gray-robed man threw the pebble into the water.

Suddenly, just before the pebble touched the water's surface, it stopped—no, it became still. At the same time, the chirping of insects, the calls of birds, and even the seemingly oblivious heartbeat of Huang Quan also ceased…

It was as if nothing in this entire world was functioning or making a sound anymore...

"Immobility is not stillness, and silence is not stillness either..."

"To see clearly the trajectory of this world, and then to stop that trajectory, is true stillness..."

"Alas, following this trajectory, controlling this trajectory, using this trajectory, is still not the complete 'supreme good is like water.' I don't understand, therefore, I am confused..."

"But have I really found the trajectory of my life? I thought that after everything came to a standstill, I would find out, but I know I was wrong..." As he spoke, the gray-robed man sighed and turned his gaze to Huang Quan. He found that Huang Quan's expression was calm, without the slightest pain, like that of a dead person.

"Despite your power, within this trajectory, you too... are finished!"

As he murmured, the gray-robed man was about to leave, but his expression suddenly changed, revealing disbelief, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

In that instant, Huang Quan suddenly opened his eyes and uttered a sentence...

"That trajectory isn't mine..."

In an instant, the pebble fell onto the water's surface, causing ripples, and the world changed once more, only to return to normal in the blink of an eye!

The night sky remained dark!

"You..." He seemed unable to calm down, and his words from his past life were slightly choked up. Then, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, staining his clothes red.

"I don't understand your so-called 'supreme good is like water'..." Huang Quan said calmly, then continued, "But your presence here is enough to prove that your so-called trajectory is nothing but fleeting smoke..."

"After all, the trajectory of one's life is determined by oneself, not something to be sought... So, when you say you're going to seek it out, you've already lost!!"

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed figure from his previous life immediately became ethereal. He couldn't deny what Huang Quanzhi had said, because he had indeed lost...

His mind was reeling from the shock, but he knew the other person was telling the truth; in fact, it had opened a door for him…

"Hehe...heh...as expected of the last life, very good! This way...I can rest assured." As he spoke, the gray-robed body of his previous life became increasingly illusory, and he believed that it wouldn't be long before it completely dissipated.

However, at that moment, Huang Quan suddenly asked somewhat urgently, "There are some things I don't want to wait until later to tell me. Who is that person?"

Upon hearing Huang Quan's words, the gray-robed past life's expression became complicated. He remained silent for a long while before slowly saying, "You have someone very important to you, but unfortunately... we have all... forgotten that person..."

After speaking, the gray-robed man's past life vanished completely, leaving behind only this sentence: an answer that is not an answer.

Huang Quan stood there lost in thought for a long time, gazing at the night sky, seemingly pondering something...

"Have you forgotten?"

"Then, why do I exist?"

And at this moment, the night finally gave way to the first light of dawn.

……

Huang Quan did not leave, or rather, he could not leave. He had experienced nine trials, but he had a feeling that there was a tenth trial here.

Those nine trials belong to the ninth generation, but this tenth trial belongs to him.

Therefore, he knew that in the very end, there would definitely be one more question!

If he can resolve this question satisfactorily, then he can escape the maze!

Conversely, all his previous efforts will be in vain!

Perhaps in response to Huang Quan's thoughts, just as Huang Quan gradually calmed down, in the slowly dawning night, a voice rang out in Huang Quan's soul!

And this voice didn't belong to anyone else, it belonged to him alone...

This voice was the final question!

It only has three words!

"who am I?"

Huang Quan was stunned for a moment; he didn't quite understand this last question!

A name? A meaning? Or something else?

There were no warning signs, nothing unusual, it was just a question that suddenly popped up from the depths of my heart!

Is this my own idea, or is it caused by this dark space?

At that moment, Huang Quan's eyes suddenly widened!

In this pitch-black space, he saw a scene!

He saw a person dressed in a gray robe, who looked exactly like him, fighting him. In the end, that person destroyed all his magic and all his weapons, staring directly at him with his eyes, as if questioning him...

Who are you?!

The scene shifts, and Huang Quan sees another scene!

In this scene, his and that person's positions were switched, and this time it was his turn to speak to that person...

Who are you?!

Then the scene changed again, and the person and his position switched places once more, and he spoke to him again...

Who are you?!!

And so, the scene kept changing...

And so, only this one sentence remained in his eyes...

who are you?

This problem is fatal for him...

Perhaps it's not just him; it's the same for everyone in the world... Who are you? You live for the reason of your existence, you choose the path of destiny, and you contemplate for your own sake!

I am who I am, but that's not enough in this world!

Perhaps it would be better if I weren't myself...

But people are unwilling to admit it...

It's not for any other reason, it's just that deep down I believe it. So, when one day my soul asks me who I am, am I still myself?

If so, then who am I?

If not, then who am I?

That is truly nothingness!

However, the soul exists because of humans, and thoughts arise from the mind. In fact, when we don't understand all of this, the answer is already there!

Suddenly, Huang Quan forced himself to calm down, and his eyes turned bloodshot. He looked at the scene, no longer trying to answer the question, but to change it!

"This problem actually exists within my own soul, and since this soul belongs to me, then I can use my own soul to change this problem!" Huang Quan's eyes revealed extreme madness, and he roared inwardly!

Again and again, and again...

As he watched that scene, another question kept surfacing in his mind and heart!

This is the problem he intends to forcibly change the previous issues!

The moment his thought and question arose, the entire maze suddenly began to shake violently, and even some unseen places developed cracks, as if it were about to collapse!

Moreover, the gray-clad youth looking down at Huang Quan from the air had his expression change repeatedly at this moment!

Originally, based on his guess, although Huang Quan had successfully overcome all the previous difficulties, he realized from the stories Huang Quan had told him before that Huang Quan could not possibly have passed this final question unscathed!

Because everything in the underworld seems not to belong to him!

But now...

The gray-clad youth stopped looking and wanted to see if Huang Quan's plan would succeed!

Time flies by, and Huang Quan continues to resist with his own thoughts!

Change is not a simple thing!

Especially changing one's own soul...

He stared at the scene, his face turning red with blood from his eyes, but he still didn't give up. He didn't believe he couldn't change what belonged to him!

Even though that thing is one's own soul!
