After a long day of travel, Diefang was distracted the entire time.

Wenxin and others noticed her condition.

They asked Diefang what happened, but Diefang just shook her head.

They didn't press the matter further.

On the contrary, Xiao Hei Xin comfortably dozed off on Die Fang's head.

Night fell quickly.

Linglong soon announced that they would set up camp on the spot and begin to rest.

After setting up camp, Diefang helped Xiaohei tell Wenxin and the other two not to leave.

Of course, Linglong also noticed their little group, and she happily tried to join in.

But after being glared at by Xiao Hei a few times, she left on her own.

Soon, Xiao Hei built a soundproof barrier, ensuring that no one, including Linglong, could eavesdrop.

Diefang's nervous expression caught the attention of Wenxin and the others.

Little Black was perched on top of her head.

The lazy, dozing expression was no longer there.

Wenxin, Xinyu, and Xiaofangying also sat together.

Xiao Hei coughed lightly twice first: "Perhaps, I should tell you a story."

Then, with a casual flick of its tail, the two elves appeared before them.

These were the two elves that Diefang had Xiaohei show them this morning.

One arm is missing, and the other has only one eye.

Then Xiao Hei recounted what he had said to Die Fang in a storytelling style.

Although the content of the conversation was largely the same, Wenxin and the others seemed to be deep in thought as they listened.

Although Diefang had heard it once before, she heard a different flavor in it this time.

She always felt that... Xiao Hei was trying to hint at something to them.

When she was almost finished speaking, Wenxin couldn't help but raise her hand and ask Xiaohei a question like a primary school student.

"Sister Xiao Hei, does this have anything to do with our master?"

Xiao Hei didn't answer; instead, it slowly began to tell another story.

In this world, there once lived a top-tier powerhouse. He was incredibly brilliant, but his existence was not due to destiny; he defied the heavens.

The world is full of hardships, and his experiences were almost entirely filled with trials. Heaven did not help him. He was just an ordinary person, yet he forged a path that made heaven and earth tremble.

Of course, the suffering he endured was unimaginable to most people.

Loss of loved ones, death of a lover, sacrifice of a master, and friends taking the fall for someone.

He drew his sword against the heavens, he drew his sword against fate; he was unwilling to accept this, believing in the injustice of the world.

But everyone has their own destiny, and destiny is unpredictable.

Until the last people and things he cherished were destroyed.

He stormed the heavens, demanding justice from this land.

Diefang and the others listened with rapt attention, while Wenxin marveled at such a person.

At that moment, Xiao Hei suddenly seemed to realize something and accelerated the plot of the story.

In his struggle with Heaven, he both won and lost.

He won because he defeated the heavens and obliterated them.

He was defeated because he was forced to become the heaven, forced to become the self-righteous heaven who controlled the fate of all living beings in the world.

He abhorred this power, but He had the opportunity to reject it, but in the end… He did not.

As time flowed on, He had long forgotten His original intentions amidst countless years of light and shadow, and began to use this power to manipulate the fate of all living beings, mercilessly toying with them.

He had long forgotten his former self.

He eventually became... the very thing he hated most.

This is the harm that time brings...

Diefang and the others thought the story should end here, but it didn't.

Xiao Hei paused for a moment, then spoke again.

Until... He met someone just like him.

However, that person was in a much better situation than Him. Born into a top-tier powerful family, she didn't have to worry about being exposed to the elements, and she had the love of her family. She was also extremely beautiful.

He had no way to directly control her fate.

This is the same special being as Him, whom we call... 'the one without a destiny'.

As Xiao Hei finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Die Fang, a glance that sent a shiver down Die Fang's spine.

Before she could think any further, Xiao Hei's story continued.

He began to frequently look at her.

Since He couldn't control her fate, He began to control the fates of everyone around her, arbitrarily disrupting the threads of their destinies and leading them one by one to tragic ends.

The most serious one was...

He disrupted the fates of half the world's powerful, destroying all that was beautiful to her.

It brought her world to the brink of collapse.

He was still not satisfied with this; He continued to watch over her quietly.

Watching her change from a happy look to a gloomy one.

He took away her loved ones, her beauty, and her smile.

He took away all those who loved her.

He led her down a path of revenge, and relentlessly stripped away all the people she cherished whenever she encountered them.

We don't know what He is thinking, we don't understand why He does what He does, we can't understand Him.

Did He awaken and expect that only a 'destined one' like Him, an 'undestined one,' could end His sinful life?

Or did He fall into depravity, desperately wanting to pour all his malice into her?

As Xiao Hei spoke, his eyes grew deeper.

Now her mind was much clearer, but she still didn't understand His actions because she couldn't fathom His thoughts. However, she was certain that He did not deserve her pity.

Xiao Hei paused for a moment.
