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

“But something’s still not right!” the mysterious man suddenly said.

"Wrong? What's wrong?" the gray-robed youth retorted.

“Nothing can appear out of thin air. You say he stole your power of reincarnation, but where did your power of reincarnation come from? Was it born from chaos, or is there some other reason…” the mysterious man said, puzzled.

But as soon as she said that, the gray-robed youth reacted strangely. He immediately stopped the conversation and said sternly, "You should figure out your own situation first! There are some things... that you can't possibly know."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura pressed down on the mysterious man from the gray-robed youth, causing the mysterious man's expression to change drastically, and he immediately knelt in the void.

"I...I understand," the mysterious man said hurriedly, panting.

Seeing that the mysterious man's attitude had changed, the gray-robed youth withdrew his imposing aura and continued, "The universe is wondrous, but also dangerous. Reincarnation can control a universe and influence its survival and destruction, but it cannot understand the universe. I don't know where I came from. I only know... in this universe, I am the true god! If anyone disobeys me, I will annihilate them, that's all!"

Upon hearing this, the mysterious man said no more and simply lowered his head.

……

The True Mystery Continent, the hidden place where Xuan Yin and Zeng Yu reside.

"That's strange," Zeng Yu muttered to himself as he looked in the direction of the Heavenly Profound Realm.

"It's strange, this is an unknown power, but it doesn't seem to affect my karma?" Xuan Yin, who had just returned from Huangmo Island, raised an eyebrow and said.

"In your karma, you will experience a calamity in the Yellow Springs, right?" Zeng Yu asked.

“That’s right, but he will eventually escape danger,” Xuan Yin replied.

"But you figured out why he escaped danger, didn't you?"

“Well… as long as the final result is correct, even if some unexpected accidents occur in the cause and effect, it won’t have any impact.” Xuan Yin paused, then continued.

Although Xuan Yin did not give a direct answer to Zeng Yu's question, Zeng Yu seemed to know the answer as well.

“Hey! I mean, don’t you think things are getting increasingly out of control as our plan progresses?” Zeng Yu suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Xuan Yin was taken aback, but quickly asked, "What are you trying to say?"

“I don’t know why, but I always feel that perhaps we are not the players, but rather the pieces on the chessboard,” Zeng Yu said.

"Impossible! I have planned the cause and effect for tens of thousands of years. Even the Heavenly Lord is subject to cause and effect. Could there be someone in this world who is better than the Heavenly Lord?" Xuan Yin said, his mind slightly fluctuating.

Zeng Yu calmly replied, "I don't know, but what if it really exists?"

“It really exists? This…this…” Xuan Yin was speechless.

“After all, we are just people from the Tianfang Realm, and we can only see what happens in the Tianfang Realm… Do you understand?” Zeng Yu said again.

"Are you saying that, after the destruction of the universe, perhaps people from other realms came to the True Profound Continent, and among them, some are stronger than the Heavenly Monarch?" Xuan Yin guessed.

"It's not impossible. If we are preparing and planning for the destruction of the universe, what about the people in other worlds? Would they allow their worlds to be destroyed? If in those worlds there is someone whose causal power is stronger than yours, are we also within their causal cycle?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin, who was adept at explaining problems with cause and effect, was unable to provide answers to these questions.

But he quickly calmed down and said, "I advise you not to overthink it. Things have come to this point, and we have no chance to back down. You should understand that."

Zeng Yu remained silent, but after a few breaths, he began to walk outside.

"Where are you going?"

"To prove whether what I think is right or wrong."

Is this necessary?

"Maybe not, but maybe it is."

"I advise you not to do anything unnecessary. If you affect this cause and effect, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

"Don't worry! I know Fang Cun." After saying that, Zeng Yu slowly disappeared without a trace in Xuan Yin's worried eyes.

Chapter 256 The Cycle of God

The Great Mystery Gate is located in a plain area.

The terrifying power finally subsided, and Huang Quan and Tian Xie gradually calmed down.

However, at this moment they seemed quite awkward and did not communicate again for a long time.

Fortunately, Huang Quan had a thick skin, so after he coughed twice in a pretentious manner, he shamelessly said, "Senior, I should be considered to have passed your test, right?"

Tianxie raised an eyebrow, somewhat dissatisfied, somewhat unwilling, and even a little conflicted. So after carefully analyzing and thinking hard for a while, he replied righteously, "It doesn't count. This is not your power!"

"Hey, hey, hey! How could it not be? Did you see someone else make a move?" Huang Quan retorted. "Besides, even if you say it wasn't my power, you didn't say in the beginning that you couldn't use other people's power! Senior, you can't go back on your word!"

"Shameless scoundrel!!" Tian Xie roared.

"What shamelessness?" Huang Quan said with a wronged expression, "I have neither disrespected you nor broken the rules you set. No matter what, it has nothing to do with shamelessness, right? On the contrary, you are the one who is talking about this and that, looking like you are trying to deceive me."

"Me? I lied to you? What a joke! I just don't understand why he would help you like this? You're clearly useless, clearly unworthy of possessing the true law. Why? Why would he do this?" Tianxie asked angrily, completely bewildered.

"What do you mean by being utterly useless? What do you mean by being unworthy of the true Dharma? I am unworthy! And you are?" Hearing this, Huang Quan frowned, seemingly a hint of anger rising within him, and said, "Get this straight! It is the True God you speak of who chose me, not you! You are merely a subordinate of the True God. It is right for you to test me out of a sense of duty, but you should not question your master's choice, otherwise you are putting the cart before the horse! Isn't that right?"

"No! I just, I just..." Tianxie seemed to not know what to say for a moment.

"What do you mean 'not'? What do you mean 'not'? I'm telling you, senior! You can't judge a book by its cover! I accepted your test, but you've made things difficult for me again and again. Haven't you ever thought about whether this is my problem or yours?" Huang Quan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly questioned.

His words caused Tianxie's expression to change slightly, and he was unable to refute them.

“You told me before that you had to face the darkness, but in my opinion, you don’t actually have the courage to face the darkness. In fact, the darkness in your heart is even stronger than mine. Otherwise, you would never have asked questions like why God chose me. It’s clear that you may not have believed in God at all, or your trust in God is not enough. And this… is your darkness!” Huang Quan said righteously.

But what he said wasn't without reason. If you trust someone, you will naturally trust that person's choices. If you don't trust that person's choices, then you naturally won't trust that person either. If Tianxie questioned Huangquan, then he was questioning God. There is no doubt about that.

Tianxie was stunned. He never expected Huang Quan to say such things. Although he had seen some differences in Huang Quan, they were only some. Because Huang Quan did not show his various aspects more directly, his opinion of Huang Quan had always been neither good nor bad. It was not until Huang Quan had to use his true method to leave the World of Destiny from his trial that he felt a slight disgust for Huang Quan.

Although he knew that Huang Quan had no other choice but to do so, a wrong choice is a wrong choice. No matter what possibilities this person might be hiding, it would not move him. That is why he reacted so strongly when he learned that God was willing to expose his hiding place in order to help Huang Quan.

He felt this was wrong. He felt that how could someone who had lost his right to the underworld be worthy of the true law? And the true law should be given to other qualified people. However, all the results were beyond his expectations. He didn't understand, he didn't comprehend, so darkness arose in his heart, and he began to question God himself.

However, Huang Quan's words directly exposed his darkness, like a blow to the head. Although they didn't completely wake him up, they did make him see his own darkness, so he was conflicted, distressed, and troubled. He even felt that he couldn't understand Huang Quan anymore.

Of course, this is perfectly reasonable, because Huang Quan is a very adaptable person. He will choose the right thing at the right time, and when faced with the right thing, he will try his best to use the right attitude. Just like giving up the True Law, he felt that the True Profound Alliance needed him now, so no matter what, he had to go to the Desolate Region, even if he lost the True Law.

For example, when faced with the bamboo maiden conjured by the Destiny Space, even if he knew it was fake, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He seemed hesitant, emotional, and lacked the demeanor of a successful person, but that's just who he is.

If he fails the trial, he fails. The true law doesn't belong to him; he can simply return it to the true god. He absolutely does not believe that he must possess the true law to continue. The world is full of possibilities, and so is he.

That's why, when he felt that he could change Tianxie's attitude towards him after saying those words, he immediately made his choice. This could be considered a scheme of his! However, this scheme was entirely beneficial to him, because he never expected Tianxie to change his attitude towards him.

But judging from the current situation, his words seem to have had some effect. At least he could see that Tianxie no longer looked at him with such dislike.

"Looks like I'm pretty good at making things up!" Huang Quan thought to himself with a smug smile, but his expression remained extremely serious, showing that his acting skills were as good as ever!

At this moment, perhaps seeing a glimpse of God's past in Huang Quan, Tianxie sighed softly, his heart gradually calming down. He raised his head and looked at the sky, which had been gray since the plains were born, now slowly showing a faint blue hue. He then looked at Huang Quan's unusually solemn expression, and finally…

"Speak! What do you want to know?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, his mind stirred, and a rare smile finally appeared on his lips.

A little while later, on a rare patch of lawn.

Huang Quan took out a pot of wine brewed by mortals and began to drink and chat with Tian Xie.

"What exactly was that power of God just now?"

"Huh? I thought you knew?"

"I don't know! I just felt that the power was related to me, so I continued what you said."

Tianxie's face immediately darkened, but after calming himself down, he said, "Fine, I think I know what you want to ask. To save you time, I'll tell you everything at once!"

"So, thank you very much."

"It all started when the universe was at peace..."

Gradually, Tianxie became lost in his memories of the past.

Countless ages ago, in a certain world of the universe, a baby was born, blessed by the heavens.

When this baby was born, his cultivation had already reached the Transcendent Realm. By the age of three, he had already entered the Breaking Army Realm. In just a few decades, his strength was comparable to that of the old monsters who were Heavenly Monarchs.

Not only that, his mental strength is also extremely high. Even seasoned cultivators who have experienced countless battles cannot gain any benefit from him. It is as if he is a god in that world.

But this person never thought about ruling the world, and had no interest in fame or power. But he was also human, and humans have thoughts and interests. What he was interested in was the universe.

"The universe?" Huang Quan looked surprised.

“That’s right, it’s the universe! Maybe that’s why God gave birth to him? He wants to know what the universe is, what the universe is, when the universe was born, and when it will disappear, and a series of other questions.” Tianxie nodded.

"Tsk tsk! This guy really looks like he's in pain!" Huang Quan couldn't help but complain.

"Maybe! But that's just how he is. So, in order to escape his world and enter the universe, he spent ten years and finally became the only true god of that world."

"Ten years? Only ten years?!" Huang Quan said in disbelief.

“That’s right! A height that ordinary cultivators might never reach in their entire lives, a level that even those with exceptional talent might not be able to achieve, he only needs ten years! After all, he has been clearly different from those cultivators since birth…”

"Of course, that's all in the future. After becoming a true god, he also gained the qualification and power to enter the universe. So, with feelings that we can't understand, he began his cosmic journey, but this journey lasted for tens of thousands of years..."

"No one knows where he went, nor what he did, but when he reappeared before people, his cultivation had broken through the Great Emperor level, transcended the control of reincarnation, and reached an unprecedented level..."

"But precisely because of this, he was also hunted down by the cycle of reincarnation!"

"The cycle of reincarnation is relentlessly pursuing me?" Huang Quan frowned.

"Yes, Samsara is a person, a person with the strongest power in the entire universe. He controls the life and death of all things and holds the fate of all people in his hands. If he wanted to destroy a world, it would be a matter of a single thought. However, that person is beyond his control..."

"Wait, wait, wait! Something's amiss here! Reincarnation is a possibility for one person. I've thought about it before, but if everything is controlled by the person who is reincarnated, how could he possibly allow that person to obtain the power to transcend reincarnation? He shouldn't allow that person's existence, right?" Perhaps because his doubts were too strong, Huang Quan directly asked this crucial question.

But Tianxie couldn't answer Huangquan. He just shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know. The answer to this question may only be known by God or reincarnation. If you really want to know, then strive to reach the level of God! Perhaps one day, you will be able to see everything in the universe."

"Heh." Upon hearing this, Huang Quan smiled bitterly, "I'm already suffering terribly just reaching the Great Emperor level, so how can I talk about reaching the same level of supreme power as a True God? Forget it! After all, I'm not the kind of person who is favored by the heavens!"

"Hahahaha." Tianxie laughed heartily, and then said, "In short, Samsara and the True God have fought one battle after another, destroying one world after another. Samsara itself doesn't care about these worlds, because to him they are just ants. But the True God cannot and should not ignore them."

"Is it related to human emotions?" Huang Quan seemed to understand something and murmured.

"You could say that! In the end, in order for those worlds to be at peace, God resolutely decided to negotiate peace with Samsara, but unfortunately the negotiations failed because Samsara put forward two unreasonable conditions..."

"The first condition is that God must relinquish His power and return to the cycle of reincarnation under His control. The second is to prevent the reappearance of someone like God in the future; He intends to destroy God's homeland..."

"God would naturally not agree to such a thing. He could see that Samsara had no intention of making peace, so he had no choice but to engage in a final battle with Samsara..."

"In this battle, although God narrowly won, repelling Samsara and seizing two-thirds of its power, the battle was too intense, and the power of Samsara in the universe was no longer complete, which directly led to the slow collapse of the universe..."

"One world after another was destroyed, and countless people died, including in God's homeland. So, not wanting to rely on the power of reincarnation, and fearing that reincarnation would allow the universe to be destroyed, God made a decision..."

"He dispersed his power and poured it into the four realms to maintain the stability of the universe, but unfortunately, at the last moment, reincarnation launched a sneak attack on him..."
