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

As a result of this change, the buildings in the wasteland began to collapse rapidly, and cracks appeared in the ground beneath them, making it look like the end of the world at first glance.

On the battlefield of the Nirvana Realm, the cultivators of the True Profound Alliance and the people of the Yellow Clan were fighting fiercely, seemingly reaching the crucial moment of the final decisive battle. However, under these circumstances, they subconsciously stopped their offensive and looked towards the desolate region.

Although a few people in Zhouyoujing shifted their attention, most of them only paused for a few breaths before resuming their battle, especially Liu Xin and the gray-skinned woman, whose battle seemed unaffected.

Upon closer inspection, however, Liu Xin appeared to be at a disadvantage, looking as if she might lose to the gray-clad woman at any moment.

Looking at those at the Transcendent Realm, since they were in the End of the Heavenly Space, they did not sense the abnormality outside. They continued to fight as usual, and those who wanted to leave the End of the Heavenly Space continued to try to find a way.

But things are different here at the Tree of Time.

With the tremor, a child, a child who looked extraordinary, a child dressed in white with a rather cute appearance, slowly walked out of the cave with a hint of indifference, a hint of wickedness, and a hint of complexity.

For a moment, both the Tree of Time and Huang Sheng turned their attention to the child, but upon seeing him, their expressions changed.

The Tree of Time was shocked, its eyes narrowing in disbelief, while Huang Sheng, amidst the shock, managed a rare smile, a mixture of joy and excitement.

Because this child is none other than the legendary creator of the True Profound Continent, the one whom the Tree of Time has always feared, and Huang Sheng's master, the Heavenly Realm God of the Heavenly Realm—Xuan Wu.

"Long time no see... Tree of Time, my disciples... how are you?" These were the first words Xuanwu spoke.

Not only did the Tree of Time and Huang Sheng react in various ways, but Xuan Yin, who was hiding in the shadows of the Imperial Demon Domain, also suddenly changed his expression and subconsciously took a step back, showing how shocked he was.

He and Xuanwu are brothers, and Xuanwu is within his karma, so he can naturally sense Xuanwu's appearance.

"Impossible! How could this be? This isn't right! In this causal chain, my brother shouldn't be here! What's going on? What exactly is going on?!" Xuan Yin was a little flustered, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered what Zeng Yu had said to him before he left.

"Cause and effect? ​​Beyond cause and effect? ​​Could it be... that I was really wrong?" Xuan Yin said, his whole body trembling.

However, at that moment, a voice that he was very familiar with suddenly reached his ears.

……

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, in the Tianxuan Earth Realm, in the territory of the Mingshen Sect.

After finishing his conversation with the True God, Huang Quan opened his eyes. He took a deep breath, and his expression gradually became resolute. However, before he could even get up, his gaze fell upon the desolate region.

"Is this...his aura?" Huang Quan asked in surprise, as if he had sensed something unusual.

Before he could analyze it carefully, a ripple appeared in the space in front of him, and then a woman appeared directly in front of him from the ripple.

She was a girl, an ordinary woman. Huang Quan had seen her before, in a small town, in the desolate region, and in the Flower Pavilion, but he was not surprised by her appearance at all, because he had already guessed that she was the fourth person.

“Hehe…” Huang Quan chuckled and said, “I’ve thought about it for a long time and you are the only one who meets the conditions that Tian Xie mentioned. Neither Hua Feiying nor Shi Wei seem to fit the criteria. Only you… I couldn’t quite see through you at the time.”

"I never intended to hide it from you," Hua Xinxin said calmly. But at this moment, she was completely different from the little girl she used to be, both in personality and in the way she spoke. She was like a different person. So even though Huang Quan knew that she was the fourth person, he was still a little uncomfortable.

But it doesn't matter, since Huang Quan doesn't care about these things anyway.

"Oh? Then what are you doing here?" Huang Quan asked, his eyes darting around.

"You should know that all I want to do now is live as an ordinary person, so... can you help me?" Hua Xinxin didn't answer Huang Quan's question, but instead asked him in return.

Upon hearing this question, Huang Quan remained silent for a moment before replying, "I don't know, but I will do my best."

“Very good.” Hua Xinxin nodded, then waved her small hand, and a white light appeared in front of Huang Quan.

"God believes in you, and so does Tianxie. I have no reason not to believe you." As soon as he finished speaking, the white light shot directly toward Huang Quan's forehead.

Huang Quan naturally knew what the white light was, so he did not refuse, only his expression changed somewhat inexplicably.

"I hope you succeed." These were Hua Xinxin's last words. She didn't bother to say anything more, and with a flick of her body, she disappeared into the original spatial ripples.

Seeing Hua Xinxin leave, Huang Quan felt the last bit of True God's power and sighed in his heart.

Having gone through all of this, he seemed to understand the meaning of the last two lines of the poem recited by the woman in purple.

Even so, he continued walking, and after calming himself down, he turned his attention to another direction.

However, this direction is not the desolate region, but the location of the Imperial Demon Domain.

"The first person, Xuan Yin... It's time for me to meet him." Muttering to himself, Huang Quan lifted his foot and took a light step forward. But after taking that step, it was as if he had crossed the barrier of space. In just a moment, he arrived on a lonely island in the Huangmo Domain.

The sky is blue, the clouds are white, but this island... is black.

"Aren't you going to come out? Didn't you want to kill me and start a new cycle of cause and effect?" Huang Quan stood in the air, looking at the island, and said calmly.

Without a doubt, Xuan Yin was hiding on this island, and the voice he had heard earlier was the voice of Huang Quan.

Xuan Yin gritted his teeth slightly inside the island, but he knew he couldn't escape it any longer, so he chose to show himself.

Seven breaths later, atop a mountain on Black Island, the two calmly gazed at each other.

However, when Huang Quan saw Xuan Yin's true appearance, he also said something that Xuan Yin had long anticipated.

"Zhou You! It really was you!!"

“Zhou You? Ha! That’s right… You already know everything, so it’s normal for you to call me Zhou You.” Zhou You sneered.

"Normal? So you seem to have a lot of confidence in your causal techniques?" Huang Quan said.

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Oh? Then guess... why I've come to see you?"

"Purpose? Does it matter? My causal plan has failed, and you have transcended my causal constraints. I have become a complete loser. Besides... with your current strength, killing me should be very easy, right?"

"No, no, I won't kill you."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, it just means what it says."

"I'm the one who killed your wife, don't you hate me?"

"I hate you! That's why I said I won't kill you, not that I don't want to kill you."

"You need something from me?"

"You can interpret it that way, but I think it's better to interpret it as saving yourself."

"Save yourself? Does that mean you already have a way to deal with the destruction of the universe?"

“That’s right.” Huang Quan nodded.

"Impossible!" Xuan Yin said in disbelief.

"Believe it or not, the Heavenly God has awakened now, and he probably won't let you go."

Are you threatening me?

"No! I was just stating a fact."

"You!" Xuan Yin was speechless.

"Think it over carefully, and come find me at Dahuang Peak in three days." After saying that, Huang Quan seemed to have lost interest in talking to him, and turned around and disappeared in front of Xuan Yin.

Because he knew that Xuan Yin would definitely come back.

……

Meanwhile, in the center of the wasteland.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. I won't attack you." For some reason, Xuan Wu said this rather dramatic thing.

This surprised Huang Sheng and the Tree of Time.

"Alright." Suddenly, Xuanwu looked at Huang Sheng and said, "Let the people from Tianfang Realm withdraw! Today's battle is over."

"What?" Huang Sheng asked, increasingly surprised.

"What? You're not listening to your master anymore?" Xuan Wu said calmly.

Huang Sheng was conflicted, but he still chose to obey.

Not long after, he transmitted his voice to all the Huang clan members.

Like Huang Sheng, these people were all filled with doubt, but the majesty of the Heavenly God was too great, and even if they had some minor grievances, they had no choice but to back down.

The Tree of Time and the Old Man of the Desolate World were completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

They couldn't understand Xuanwu's thoughts.

Of course, they couldn't understand how Xuanwu was resurrected either.

But no matter what, this great battle... is finally over.

Xuan Wu didn't linger, nor did he even glance at the Tree of Time, the one who had betrayed him. He simply left with Huang Sheng and the others.

"What exactly happened?" This question was on everyone's mind.

However, not everyone is willing to retreat, such as the woman who fought Liu Xin.

She's about to win, just one step away.

She wanted to win, so she deliberately disobeyed Huang Sheng's orders and launched the final attack on Liu Xin.

Liu Xin was in despair because she felt that at this moment, there was no way anyone could save her.

However, she was still rescued.

This person is Huang Quan.

He appeared directly in front of Liu Xin, caught her when she was about to fall, and casually killed the Huang clan woman whose name he didn't know.

He saved her again.

Coincidentally, this scene was witnessed by many people, including Xuan Wu.

But he didn't think much of it, only gave Huang Quan a meaningful smile, and then still chose to retreat.

So after a while, the desolate region finally became quiet.

Liu Xin lay in Huang Quan's arms... and cried.

This was the first time she had cried like this, and the first time she had cried like this in front of the Yellow Springs...

"It's alright now," Huang Quan said, holding her in his arms.

……

One hour later.

In the somewhat dilapidated flower pavilion, on the rooftop of one of the rooms.

The Yellow Springs and the Tree of Time stood slowly, looking down at the desolate wasteland.

"So that's how it is! The strange changes in the Endless Wasteland and the peculiar transformations of the black fish are all because of that physical body! Tsk tsk tsk, I never would have guessed!" Huang Quan sighed.
