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

A moment later, Jingwei reached out his big hand and patted Ziming's little head, saying softly, "Hehe! Ziming, be good! Okay! I promise you, when I come back this time, I'll definitely play with you properly... How about that?"

"Okay! You said it, no backing out!" As soon as Ziming heard Jingwei say these words, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, as if he was afraid that Jingwei would go back on his word.

Seeing his adorable daughter, Jingwei felt a warmth in his heart and smiled happily...

At the same time, the words "Zi Ming" were also imprinted upside down on that small wooden sword.

At that moment, this heartwarming scene suddenly froze in front of him.

Jingwei stared at the frozen image, reaching out his hands as if to touch it, but he couldn't feel anything.

"no!"

"That won't do!"

"No! I can't die! I absolutely can't die. Ziming is still waiting for me. I haven't fulfilled my promise to her yet. How can I die like this?"

"Ah!" Jingwei roared inwardly.

"I can't die!"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

At this moment, the purple broadsword seemed to sense Jing Wei's determination. It trembled slightly, and a strange fluctuation, like the sound of a heartbeat, slowly pulsed. Even its blade gradually turned dark purple...

At that moment, an extremely subtle true energy and its consciousness instantly transmitted from the purple greatsword into Jing Wei's mind. Suddenly, all the pain in his body seemed to disappear completely.

At that moment, Jingwei was shocked!

"This is?!"

In his mind, it was as if the purple blade was telling him: attack, attack...

Destiny Space.

Huang Quan was already covered in wounds.

He was a very stubborn person. The more something displeased him, the more he liked to persist in it. So he attacked this Destiny Space continuously for about half an hour. During this half hour, he used the Five Elements Li Mo Technique, Adding Frost to Snow, Sword Life Technique, Underworld God, and even crashed into the New World once.

Unsurprisingly, all his spells failed. Only when he used the New World spell did the space tremble twice. However, the powerful rebound caused him excruciating pain. Although he barely managed to pull through, judging from his current disheveled state, he seemed to have very little strength left.

"Damn it!" Huang Quan knelt down on one knee and cursed repeatedly. Where was the civilized demeanor of a True Profound Lord?

“I’ve already said it, with your current strength, there’s absolutely no way you could break through this space. If you really could, you would at least need to be at the peak of the Heavenly Monarch realm, but it’s obvious… you’re not.” Tianxie sighed.

Seeing Huang Quan's stubbornness, Tian Xie felt a deep connection, because the God he served was also this kind of person. But it must be said that this kind of person is too easy to suffer losses, just like Huang Quan now.

“I said…” Huang Quan took a couple of breaths, looked up at the black sky, and suddenly asked, “If I refuse to make a move against her, is this trial unsolvable? Am I really going to be trapped here forever?”

“Yes,” Tianxie replied almost without hesitation.

"Then why did you set it up like this?" Huang Quan frowned and asked the question again.

He simply couldn't understand it. If he killed the illusory bamboo maiden, he would have failed the trial. But if he didn't kill her, he would be trapped here for life. So what was the point of the trial? Wasn't this a contradiction?

“I’ve said it before, I want to see your determination, your determination to face the darkness,” Tianxie said as always.

But Huang Quan truly didn't understand. He knew that his darkness stemmed from his guilt towards those who had died, because almost all of them had died because of him. But wasn't he now trying his best to make amends? Wasn't that enough?

“Of course not.” As if knowing Huang Quan’s thoughts, Tian Xie suddenly said, “Your attempt to make amends is just an action to cover up your guilt, not a true confrontation. If you truly confront it, then this door will naturally open for you.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan's heart stirred slightly. He remained silent for a moment, then subconsciously chuckled before continuing, "Heh! That sounds quite reasonable. I almost believed it."

"No! You shouldn't say you almost believed it, but that you should believe it completely. You should understand that facing darkness is not about hiding from it, but also about acceptance and understanding. After all, no one is perfect," Tianxie said earnestly.

"Acceptance? Understanding?" Huang Quan murmured.

“That’s right, but to be honest, your performance just now has already disappointed me greatly, so even if you pass this trial in the end, I will not approve of you,” Tianxie said calmly.

"You don't approve of me? Tch! Whatever, I don't need your approval. But since you don't approve of me, there's no point in keeping me here, right? Don't say you're incapable of letting me leave. I've already seen through you... lying about this!" Huang Quan said nonchalantly.

“Okay! That works!” Tianxie said decisively.

At this moment, just when he thought Tianxie would say something like "no" as before, his expression changed. He paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "What? You're serious? You're not joking, are you?"

“No, because what you said makes a lot of sense. I have lost my patience with you and there is no need to keep you trapped here any longer, but…” Suddenly, before Huang Quan could show any joy, Tian Xie’s tone changed and he said again, “You must leave behind the true method.”

"Hmm? You left behind the true method?" Huang Quan asked in surprise.

“Yes! The true law belongs to God. Since you want to give up this trial, then you are essentially giving up the true law and God’s choice. So it should be only natural for you to hand over the true law, right?” Tianxie said.

Upon hearing these words, Huang Quan fell silent again, his brows furrowed, lost in deep turmoil.

The importance of the True Law to him is self-evident. Without the True Law, his cultivation level would drop significantly. At that time, he would not be able to fight against the Lord of Tianfang, let alone Huang Sheng and others. The True Profound Continent might even become a sacrifice for those people. He absolutely did not want to see such an outcome.

“What? You’re unwilling? Are you conflicted? Heh, that’s right! The True Law can be said to be the source of your power. If you lose the True Law, you can say that you have lost everything. But there’s nothing you can do. You are the one chosen by the True God, but not the one chosen by me. Because you cannot pass this trial, so no matter what, you have to hand over the True Law.” Tianxie said, but his tone was colder.

At this moment, Huang Quan took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"You mean what you say? As long as I hand over the true method, you'll let me leave here?" Huang Quan's eyes flickered, as if he had made a final decision. He knew what he should and shouldn't do now.

“Of course, without the true law, you are like someone who has lost the protection of God. Your karmic connection with God will be severed, so I have no reason to keep you here any longer,” Tianxie replied softly.

Huang Quan lowered his head, looked at the black door, then at the Destiny Space, and in an emotion only he understood, he finally nodded: "Okay! I promise you... Tell me what to do!"

“It’s very simple. Just use your power to directly strip away the six characters of the True Law,” Tianxie replied.

Having made up his mind, Huang Quan stopped thinking and sat cross-legged, stretching out his hands. His body trembled, his eyes darted around, and his heart was filled with unease. But even so, he had to go back. Otherwise, what he would lose would be more than just the True Law.

"I'm sorry, my past self. It seems that what you called a miracle was just a joke." With that, Huang Quan's evil energy and spiritual power flowed into his left and right hands respectively. Then, gritting his teeth, he slapped his forehead hard with both hands.

Suddenly, endless gray light erupted from his body... fiercely.

Chapter 255 Knowing One's Limits

There is a sea in a person's heart, also known as the sea of ​​the soul.

It lies hidden in the deepest part of a person's mind, and ordinary people cannot find it. Even extraordinary people may not be able to find it. It requires opportunity, enlightenment, or... both.

Unsurprisingly, Huang Quan also possesses a elusive sea of ​​souls within his heart. However, his sea of ​​souls is not simply a sea; at its center lies a small island. But this island is not the highlight. The real highlight is a lake within the island, covering an area of ​​2,000 square meters.

At this very moment, a gray-robed youth who looks exactly like Huang Quan is sitting on a small wooden stool, leisurely fishing by the lake and humming a song.

"I'm in such a good mood today, the scenery is beautiful everywhere..."

Just as Huang Quan was about to force the true power out of his body, his singing suddenly stopped, and his brows furrowed. He looked directly at the azure sky and muttered with a troubled expression, "This kid... really is just like me back then!"

"But Tianxie is really something. Darkness is something that will never disappear. Even if you face it, even if you accept it, what good will it do? Humans have selfish desires, and so do gods. Even if you see through everything, imperfection is imperfection. It's better to keep this imperfection in your heart. That's the true righteous path!"

"Sigh!" The gray-robed youth sighed softly, "So be it! Since I chose you, even if you are my reincarnation, then I will give you one chance! However... this is only one chance. If anything changes, even I cannot make any difference."

After speaking, the gray-robed youth stretched out his left hand and gently pointed at the blue sky of the Sea of ​​Souls. Strangely, however, everything remained calm and normal under his pointing, as if nothing had happened.

But the gray-robed youth stopped caring, stopped thinking about it, and stopped getting involved. He continued fishing and humming a little tune, looking increasingly happy, making him seem unpredictable.

It seems that all of this was done casually, without any real thought or consideration.

Whether it succeeds or fails, it's all just a trivial matter.

……

Just because nothing happened in the Sea of ​​Souls doesn't mean nothing happened in Huang Quan. With that finger, an incredibly powerful force suddenly erupted from Huang Quan's body, directly shattering his spiritual power and evil energy, causing his expression to change drastically and his eyes to shrink to their limit.

But this is not the end. The power of this force is extraordinary. It is not evil energy, not spiritual power, not spiritual power or Dao power, and certainly not true power. It is a power that only one person has been able to use since the beginning of the universe.

It was similar to the power of this Destiny Space, but many times more concentrated. So, when Tianxie sensed this power, he was truly shocked for the first time.

"This is... the power of God?! How could this be?! How could you have the power of God?!" Tianxie shouted, in disbelief.

But this power did not end there. It shot up from the top of Huang Quan's head, carrying a sense of destruction yet warmth, and directly touched this Destiny Space.

Originally, this Destiny Space possessed a tiny fraction of the True Lord's power, so it was almost impossible for the power of the True Profound Continent or other worlds to break through it. They would even be bounced back, causing considerable damage. For example, the extremely unlucky Huang Quan is a good example.

But if it is the power of God, which is stronger than it, then it is different.

As the saying goes, there are different ranks among the officials in the imperial court. The lower-ranking officials must obey the higher-ranking officials, otherwise they will surely cause trouble. The same is true for forces of different strengths. So when the power of the true master released by the gray-robed youth appeared in this place, the power of the true master in this destiny space completely lost the right to resist and obediently released the bindings on Huang Quan.

In the blink of an eye, the black gate vanished, and the Destiny Space, under that power, turned into countless black specks of light, instantly returning Huang Quan to his original place, which was a certain place on the desolate plain of the Great Profound Sect.

The same was true for Tianxie. The 108 Bridges of Destiny that he built no longer existed under this power, so he could no longer hide in them and had to reveal his true form again. However, his appearance was very similar to Huang Quan's, with a look of utter astonishment, not understanding what had happened.

However, even after this force shattered the Destiny Space, it still had some aftershocks. Although it could not cause large-scale destruction, it shocked and horrified some people who were familiar with this power.

……

"It's him?! It must be him!!" The gray-robed youth in the dark zone somewhere in the universe suddenly felt a strong excitement, and the mysterious person beside him couldn't help but frown.

"This is...his power?" The mysterious woman was also somewhat surprised, but compared to the gray-robed youth, she seemed much calmer.

"Hahahaha! You still can't help it! You're still as stupid as ever! You're the only one who has reached the Great Emperor Realm! You're the only one who can pose a threat to me! You're the only one for whom I have to risk the destruction of the universe to kill you! How... how could you be so stupid?" The gray-robed youth laughed maniacally.

At that moment, the mysterious man's eyes flickered, and he murmured softly, "Is it time?"

"Yes! It's time! I wondered where he was hiding. I didn't expect him to be inside that kid's body! Go quickly! As long as you kill him, you will be free!" The gray-robed youth said, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

Upon hearing this, the mysterious woman sighed softly, but then seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "I remember... didn't you want to do it yourself? If I kill him, won't you lose this opportunity?"

"Hmph! Lose the opportunity? No! I will absolutely not lose this opportunity! Because I am Reincarnation! I am Reincarnation who can control the cause and effect of life and death! I am the absolute god who controls everything!!"

"The universe didn't need to be destroyed, and reincarnation was perfectly fine. But it was because of him... because he wanted to transcend reincarnation and steal the power that rightfully belonged to me that the universe underwent this strange change, that the universe lost its complete power of reincarnation, and that the universe began its destruction..."

"It's all his fault, it's all his fault!!"

"So! So! As long as he dies, as long as he's truly dead, I can reclaim the power of reincarnation he stole and completely heal my injuries..."

"You should understand now! Once I recover, the universe will be able to recover, and once the universe is recovered, the lives that perished in ancient times will be able to begin their cycle of reincarnation again..."

"Your father, your brother, your people—they don't have to become ghosts of the universe, ultimately dying in its destruction. So! You must kill him, you absolutely must kill him!!" the gray-robed youth said with a ferocious expression.

The mysterious woman seemed to have gleaned the answer she was looking for from his words, and she couldn't help but guess: "You mean that after you obtain the complete power of reincarnation, you can also allow his soul to begin reincarnation, and even control his soul, right?"

"That's right! You're absolutely right! In the end, he's just a human being in this universe. Even with his immense cultivation and ability to transcend my control, he can't escape the imprint of this universe..."

“When my power of reincarnation is still on him, he can do whatever he wants in this universe and even fight against me. But if he loses the power of reincarnation, he will just be an ordinary Heavenly Lord. And in that case, it will be easy for me to kill him…” The gray-robed youth’s eyes flashed with black light as he said coldly.

"But there's still something I don't understand..." the mysterious man suddenly said.

"What is it? What is it?" the gray-robed youth replied.

"I'm wondering, since he's from this universe, how did he manage to reach the level of an Emperor?" the mysterious man asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this question, the gray-robed youth paused for a moment before saying, "It was just an accident. I thought the highest realm in this universe was the Heavenly Monarch, because no one had ever surpassed that realm in countless years. But I was wrong. Humans are creatures with limitless potential..."

"A creature with unlimited potential...?" The mysterious man seemed somewhat bewildered.

"Yes! Surpassing one's own limits, surpassing the limits of nature, so naturally some people can surpass the limits of reincarnation. But... but I never expected that someone who has surpassed the limits of reincarnation could actually control a portion of the power of reincarnation, no, it should be said that they would steal my power of reincarnation!" At this point, the gray-robed youth became excited again.
