I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 557: The indelible thread of Cause and Effect, The countermeasures of the Prophet of Destiny

“I am the Prophet of Destiny, in charge of the Destiny of Nothingness, trekking through the long river of time, deducing the established trajectory of Immortal Palace… I’m also Xiao Ruoyin.”

In the end, all the pictures were converging as they condensed into a single point of light. The woman in white calmed down, and there seemed to be thousands of lights flickering in her eyes, which were many complicated and majestic fragments.

She whispered to herself, the ancient runes between her eyebrows became more dazzling like a small scorching sun, and gradually it fell silent.

The whole person looked more and more illusory. The surrounding space fluctuated, and there were hundreds of millions of mysterious lines intertwined, arriving from unknown latitudes.

This was an incredibly mysterious power, involving Time, Space, and even Destiny. A large number of memory fragments emerged from the depths of her soul. It was as if a box that had been sealed for a long time was opened, and many scenes rushed in her mind.

Xiao Ruoyin suddenly sighed softly, and stood up, “Is this evil Destiny? Or is it my inevitable Cause and Effect?”

If the Immortal Palace had not collapsed, the era would not have collapsed. Without any accidents, she should still be in the Temple of Destiny, fulfilling her due duties. But the Immortal Palace had collapsed, and even that era became a taboo, buried in the long river of time. Hundreds of millions of years had passed, and even she could not escape the established karmic fate.

“Just like a fish can never leave the river, it is also difficult for me to break free from my destiny.” She spoke words that only she could understand. Her expression appeared extremely complicated for a moment.

In front of Xiao Ruoyin, there were countless lines emerging. Some were shining silver, some were as black as ink, and some were light yellow as gold… But no matter which one it was, they all exuded dazzling and bright light, submerging the entire building. The palace was reflected thoroughly.

Behind these threads of destiny, there were other people connected, and these people had an inexplicable cause and effect with her. She reached out, wanting to touch the lines.

Buzz!!

The next moment, as her hand passed through these lines as they gradually became blurred before breaking, and finally returning to nothingness. It was as if they had never appeared before.

Destiny was nothingness, and all the threads of destiny that she had touched would eventually become nothingness. This was also the miraculousness of those who had no destiny, and everything related to destiny was difficult to fulfill in them. It was even difficult to have any intersection with it.

As long as Xiao Ruoyin thought, she could make everyone in this world who knew her forget her.

She would truly disappear from this world, any trace of her existence would fade away. But at this time, there was a thread of destiny, which was extremely thick, like the deepest night, and it didn’t fade into nothingness like the other threads of fate.

This thread of destiny seemed to run through the long river of time, along an unknown latitude, connecting to this era.

“Is that so?” Seeing this scene, Xiao Ruoyin was not surprised at all, but sighed lightly, and withdrew her hand.

Even when she touched this thread of destiny, she felt a tingling pain in her palm, suffered a strong backlash, and emitted black smoke. This was no longer the cause and effect that she could erase if she wanted to.

“Gu Changge… Is that his current name?” Xiao Ruoyin chanted the name softly and her expression was calm, with a kind of detachment that obviously did not belong to this world.

Scenes from this period of time emerged in her mind, and then she frowned slightly. She naturally remembered everything that happened before. Compared with Xiao Ruoyin before, the gap between her current self and Xiao Ruoyin was not very big.

The biggest difference was that she had awakened her memories of being the Prophet of Destiny in her past life, and also awakened her Destiny Physique.

Obviously, Xiao Ruoyin’s memories of the past twenty years obviously could not dominate her now.

She knew everything that happened during this period, and she also knew the many choices Xiao Ruoyin made in order to attach herself to Gu Changge, as well as Xiao Ruoyin’s previous thoughts.

After all, the two of them had never been just one person. Although she disagreed, it was a foregone conclusion, and she couldn’t say anything more.

“Gu Changge kept me by his side, so he probably already knew my identity… It seems that he is waiting for my physique to become perfect. I can’t let Gu Changge know that I have awakened the memory of the Prophet of Destiny…” Xiao Ruoyin frowned slightly, thinking about countermeasures.

Many things during this period flashed in her mind one by one. She knew many things better than Xiao Ruoyin before, including Gu Changge’s terrifying origin. If it weren’t for the indestructible thread of destiny just now, she might not be able to discover this problem for a while.

Since Gu Changge was the one who caused her to be reincarnated, his identity was naturally ready to be revealed. Xiao Ruoyin had no doubts about this. However, Xiao Ruoyin didn’t know why such a powerful and invincible existence would end up being reincarnated as her.

She didn’t have time to think about so many things now. In her opinion, Gu Changge must have awakened the memories of the past very early, and this was the only way to reach the current terrifying situation in just twenty years.

Xiao Ruoyin was well aware of Gu Changge, even if she had awakened the memory of her past life and the imprint of the Divine Talisman from her Destiny Physique. But if she wanted to compete against Gu Changge, it was still an unattainable idea, and it was impossible to do it.

“He should be plotting against my origin, trying to take the final step toward Enlightenment… We can’t let him succeed. Now that the world has finally restored peace, won’t it be destroyed by his palm again?” Xiao Ruoyin sighed softly, trying to understand everything.

She really didn’t expect that she would face such a big predicament after awakening the memory of her previous life. Now it seemed that the only way was to procrastinate or find a way to escape from Gu Changge’s side.

But either way was tough. Especially with her Master Yan Ji around her, Gu Changge had always placed an observer by her side. If there was a slight mistake in her every move, Gu Changge would notice it.

Xiao Ruoyin didn’t know this before and even felt that Yan Ji was really doing it for her own good. But now she could see clearly at a glance that from the very beginning when Gu Changge contacted her, he had a different purpose.

All of this was just a trap set by Gu Changge.

“The silly white sweet persona didn’t play any role. Instead, it was played by him in the palm of his hand because of the small loss. The Good Fortune Immortal Boat should be on Jiang Chen’s body. I have to get my hands on the Good Fortune Immortal Boat to possess a chance.”

Afterward, the aura on Xiao Ruoyin’s body gradually changed, from nothingness to blurry, to gradually solidified, and finally became exactly the same as before, without any difference.

Once finished with all this, she walked out of the hall and looked at Kunwu City, which was full of people.

“Junior Sister Ruoyin, are you going to find Young Master Changge?” The disciple in charge of guarding this side of the main hall saw Xiao Ruoyin walking out, and asked with a flattering smile on his face.

Xiao Ruoyin was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a while. Her easy-going smile returned to her face, she nodded and smiled, “Yes.”

At first, she was still a little unaccustomed to the heaven outside. White clouds and blue sky, with the dense glow of the sun and steaming clouds. This scene made her, who was used to seeing the lonely and cold Temple of Destiny, suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.

At the same time, in the depths of the market. All the cultivators and creatures were very frightened as they retreated. Even a group of ancient beings stared at the front with solemn expressions, appearing to be very apprehensive.

A large amount of black mist had flooded and filled the air, surrounding the market instantly turning it pitch black. Many palaces and pavilions were submerged in black mist, and large areas of ancient vines withered before they died. The ominous stone located in it trembled slightly, and a large amount of black mist sprayed out from the stone cracks.

“Could it be that the strange movement in Mount Kun just now alarmed this ominous stone?”

“Let’s cut it open and have a look, we can’t let it go on like this.”

“It used to be in the Huanxi Sacred Land, but because this thing became ominous overnight, it was contaminated with something unknown because of it.”

The cultivators and creatures around were discussing and staring at the ominous stone with apprehension. They never expected that there would be such a change in it all of a sudden.

The black mist was tainted with strong demonic nature, making one very suspicious that it contained some kind of terrifying monster.

“At this time, who dares to step forward and cut stones?” An old man’s voice was trembling, full of fear, and he kept backing away.

When there was a change in Mount Kun just now, many people immediately rushed out and looked toward Mount Kun. They saw a black light soaring into the sky, covering the sky and the sun. Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, it had turned pitch black. The magnificent Mount Kun, which usually looked like a fairyland, was now gloomy like a ghost with a demonic aura that overwhelmed everything.

“What’s in it? Why is Da Hong so frightened?” Gu Xian’er stood behind Gu Changge and looked around curiously. But she noticed the big red bird at her feet trembling all the time, displaying extremely fearful expression for the first time. It was as if some kind of peerless monster was hidden in that ominous stone.

“This place may not be peaceful for a while. Alpha, take Xian’er, Yin Mei, and the others away first.” Gu Changge frowned slightly and turned around to give instructions to Alpha.

While speaking, he looked toward the sky outside Kunwu City, sensing a bad premonition. The things in this unknown stone gave him a very familiar feeling. But this familiar feeling did not mean that it was safe and sound.

Just like him and Chan Hong Yi…

Something big might happen in Kunwu City, and the area around this ominous stone was obviously the most dangerous.

“I’m not leaving, I’ll stay here…” Hearing this, Gu Xian’er quickly grabbed Gu Changge’s sleeve.

Seeing that Gu Changge frowned, she looked at him stiffly, and muttered softly, “Unless you leave with me.”

She also saw that this ominous stone must be very dangerous. The best thing to do at this time was to leave this place as soon as possible. If Gu Changge didn’t leave, she would feel uneasy all the time.

“Stop messing around, I’ll be fine.” Gu Changge understood Gu Xian’er’s meaning. He shook his head lightly, asked her to let go of her hand, and at the same time told Alpha again, “Take Miss Xian’er and the others away.”

“Yes, my lord.” Alpha was a Quasi-Emperor Realm existence, so it was naturally extremely easy to take Gu Xianer and the others out of this place.

Gu Xian’er glanced at Gu Changge with some anger, dissatisfied with his ripping off her hand. But at this time, she still left obediently and did not stay to cause trouble for Gu Changge.

She rarely saw Gu Changge showing such a cautious expression. The rest of the Great sect leaders, Patriarchs, and others nearby also ordered many younger generations to retreat at this moment, feeling the danger here.

Only a very small number of people, such as Six Crown King, Yu Feiya, Jin Chan Buddha, An Xi, and other young supremes chose to stay. Skilled people were bold and did not have to worry about their own safety.

For a while, the originally impenetrable square city became much quieter, and the remaining several Divine Stones were also shot by several ancient beings and were taken away by them.

Buzz!!

In the sky, the Dao in the surroundings trembled, and the Emperor Realm laws hung down, trying to suppress this unknown stone. But when it was about to land on the surface of this ominous stone, it was shaken away and scattered like ripples.

The terrifying momentum still swept toward the surroundings like a wave. The rest of the ancient existences rushed to offset it. Otherwise, the damage caused by the aftermath alone would be unimaginable.

“Could it be that the things in this ominous stone have surpassed the Emperor Realm…”

A sect leader spoke with golden runes flickering in his eyes. He was trying to see something through the cracked stones. But at the next moment, a ray of black light rushed out of it, faster than lightning before rushing into his eyes.

The whole person let out a scream, and exploded in an instant. He was destroyed in body and spirit, turning into ashes, leaving nothing behind. This scene made the expressions of the people who were still in the market somber. Their backs shivered and they became more solemn and fearful.

A ray of black light easily obliterated a Great sect leader who was at least in the Supreme Realm. If there was some kind of Divine Weapon hidden in this ominous stone, then it was definitely above the Emperor Realm.

The few Enlightenment artifacts around here could hardly restrain it. Although there was no reason for complete recovery, it could also be seen that this thing was weird and terrifying.

Rumble!!

And at this moment, above the sky in the east of Kunwu City, a mighty black demonic cloud swept over, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. A huge and terrifying specter lingered within it. Colorful feathers flowed, and demonic wings shook the sky, making it extremely frightening.

“Someone from the Demonic Mountain?” Seeing this scene, the complexions of many Great sect leaders changed dramatically.

The cultivators and creatures in the entire Kunwu City also became uneasy and panicked because of the black cloud that swept over them.
