Chapter 112

Through a crystal ball, Cen Xun stood in front of the stall, looking at the woman in the red cloak opposite him without any expression.

"Would you two like to take a look at your future?"

The woman in the red cloak has a soft voice, which makes people feel warm like a spring breeze.

Cen Xun didn't say anything, so Feng Jihan took over the conversation: "What do you think?"

"Put your hand on the crystal ball and you will be able to see your future." The woman in the red cloak held up the crystal ball and handed it to Feng Jihan.

Feng Jihan declined: "I won't watch it."

"Why?" the woman in the red cloak asked him softly, "The future is right there. Even if you don't look at it, it will still happen. Aren't you curious?"

Feng Jihan said sincerely, "My wife won't let me see it."

""

Cen Xun finally spoke slowly: "What will happen if you don't watch it?"

"Then you will miss the guidance of destiny."

"Guidance of fate?" Cen Xun laughed. "Unfortunately, I don't really believe in fate."

He raised his eyelids, and his amber eyes stared coldly at the woman in the red cloak. No one expected that he would suddenly attack in the next second. Thousands of puppet threads shot out instantly and rushed towards the woman in the red cloak.

The woman seemed to have anticipated this, and she did not dodge or evade, but calmly faced the puppet thread that was rushing towards her with murderous intent.

"sieve"

The crisscrossing puppet threads just brushed the edge of the cloak and nailed heavily to the wall behind the woman. The entire building immediately collapsed, stirring up countless dust.

The players coming and going didn't seem to notice what happened in this corner, and walked by as usual.

Cen Xun's puppet strings usually hit the target with one strike, rarely missing. Feng Jihan pursed his lips slightly and looked at Cen Xun. Cen Xun's expression didn't change much, only his eyebrows raised slightly, as if he found the current situation very interesting.

The woman in the red cloak stroked the crisscrossing puppet strings beside her, plucking them gently like a piano. "Everything in this world has its own path. Only by not losing your way along the way can you reach the right destination."

She looked at Cen Xun with a pair of rose-red eyes: "Do you understand? My brother."

Cen Xun showed no sign of surprise. He calmly retracted the puppet thread, his tone slightly mocking, "Big sister, after all these years, it seems your love for mystery remains unchanged."

The face under the hood turned to Feng Jihan and said meaningfully, "Your hobbies have changed a lot."

Feng Jihan, who was called out, said nothing and directly covered [Destiny] with the Godless Domain.

"Let's stop here for the pleasantries." Cen Xun said bluntly, "Don't tell me you came here just to experience the feeling of setting up a stall."

"I'm very close to the correct answer." Destiny half-lifted his hood, his rose-red eyes gleaming. "There is indeed an unfinished deal between us."

"I came here today to remind you of this." Destiny held up the crystal ball, which glowed white. "The trajectory of destiny is complex and intricate. Where it will lead is entirely up to you."

She turned her wrist and the crystal ball fell, but it did not hit the ground. Instead, it rolled in the air towards Feng Jihan as if it was on a slope in the void.

Feng Jihan was not afraid at all. He reached out to take it and weighed it in his hand twice. It was quite heavy.

"I look forward to your choice, my brother, and..." [Destiny] smiled and looked at Feng Jihan: "Sister-in-law."

As she finished speaking, the color of her bright red cloak began to fade.

When Tong Ming hurried over with a camera, what he saw was the outline of "Destiny" becoming almost transparent.

This scene made Tong Ming feel extremely sad: "Damn! Am I late again? The fun is over so quickly, I didn't even have time to take pictures!"

[Destiny] seemed to sense something and suddenly looked over.

Zhou Mian, who was chasing after Tong Ming, stopped breathlessly, supported himself on his knees and took a breath for a moment. When he looked up again, he happened to meet the gaze of [Destiny].

The rose-red pupils were like the red marks left by a hot iron, instantly awakening some images that did not originally exist in Zhou Mian's memory.

The gloomy sky, the drizzle, the crying of a baby, and the hands stretched out towards him with bright red nails.

Zhou Mian's pupils shrank and he pressed his forehead hard, not understanding where these inexplicable memories came from.

Who is that woman?

Zhou Mian looked up in a daze, only to find that the woman had completely disappeared from the spot.

Tong Ming still couldn't catch up, and stopped in regret. Noticing Zhou Mian standing there in a daze, he turned back and pulled him back: "Zhou Mian, are you already this weak?"

Zhou Mian stood up with the help of his strength, his eyes still fixed on the direction where [Destiny] disappeared: "Who was that just now?"

"Who else could it be?" Tong Ming sneered, "The only person who could escape unscathed after facing my fourth brother and the atheists is of course my eldest sister, who has the most powerful fighting ability."

"【destiny】?"

Zhou Mian pressed his aching forehead and lowered his eyes to hide the thoughts in his eyes.

As they walked forward, they all saw the crystal ball in Feng Jihan's hand, which was seriously inconsistent with the style of Fengdu Ghost City.

Tong Ming snatched the crystal ball from Feng Jihan's hand, tossed it and caught it, saying, "Our eldest sister is really something. She just came and brought no gifts."

Cen Xun said calmly, "Maybe it's a gift for her sister-in-law."

"It's such a time and you're still joking. Feng Jihan said unhappily, "Who would give a memory crystal as a meeting gift? Besides, this memory crystal contains memories of you."

Cen Xun raised an eyebrow: "Mine?"

"I've said before that on the day of the great melee, you and [Destiny] suddenly turned against us and teamed up to severely trick [Time]." Feng Jihan looked at Cen Xun: "[Destiny] wouldn't help you for no reason. Now it seems that you must have made some kind of deal with her at the time, so she agreed to join forces with you."

Tong Ming was enjoying the fun and said, "So, Big Sister is actually here tonight to collect a debt from you?"

Cen Xun extended his hand towards Tong Ming: "Crystal ball, give it to me and let me see it."

After returning to his infancy, Cen Xun's memories of the small mountain village before were all cleared, and he could not remember anything about the so-called transaction.

However, judging from the fact that [Destiny] came directly to the door, the content of the transaction should be very important to [Destiny].

Tong Ming handed the crystal ball in his hand to Cen Xun. The moment the heavy crystal ball fell into Cen Xun's heart, a memory flooded into Cen Xun's mind.

Tong Ming saw Cen Xun pause slightly while holding the crystal ball, and then the crystal ball suddenly shattered into pieces, with transparent fragments scattered all over the ground, losing all its light.

Cen Xun withdrew his hand and lowered his eyes to look at the fragments on the ground. It was impossible to tell from his expression what he was thinking.

Tong Ming asked him curiously, "How's it going, brother? Have you remembered the details of the deal?"

"I remember now." Cen Xun stepped on the pile of debris, crushed it, and suddenly sneered: "[Fate] agreed to join forces with me to deal with [Time]. In exchange, I promised her that I would save the real world from a future of destruction."

Tong Ming was shocked: "Huh??"

"Why?" Tong Ming was very confused: "What does life and death in the real world have to do with [Fate]? Why did she propose this as the exchange condition?!"

Cen Xun glanced at him and said, "You're right. Life and death in the real world is indeed a matter of fate."

"[Destiny]'s strength comes from the power she draws from the [Thread of Fate]." Cen Xun: "In other words, her strength is entirely based on the many humans in the real world."

It is precisely because there are so many human beings, and almost every human being can provide a source of power for [Destiny] through the thread of fate, that [Destiny] can manipulate and tamper with the fate of others at will.

And if all humans in the real world die, it would be equivalent to hundreds of millions of threads of destiny being broken. Destiny, having lost its source of power, would all perish on the day of human destruction.

"[Destiny] cannot accept the future she foresees, because the moment the real world falls into a dark abyss, her fate will also end."

So, when Cen Xun proposed a crazy plan that could change the future, [Destiny] chose to take a gamble and agreed to join forces with Cen Xun even though she herself would be regressed to her infancy under the power of [Time].

For its own benefit, [Destiny] must protect humanity.

In this way, there is an answer to why [fate] suddenly came to the door tonight.

When the Fengdu Ghost City project is finished, Cen Xun will earn hundreds of billions of points in one fell swoop. By sharing the QR code, Nightmare University will be bound to hundreds of millions of players. Cen Xun controls the life and death of the players, which is equivalent to controlling the throat of fate.

So [Destiny] had to appear and remind Cen Xun of the deal between them to ensure that Cen Xun would not start a massacre against humans.

After hearing the whole story, the other three people present were silent.

"I have another question." Tong Ming asked playfully, "Brother, are you really going to abide by this deal?"

Cen Xun smiled slightly and did not answer.

Tong Ming knew his insidious fourth brother very well. Seeing his expression, he instantly understood Cen Xun's answer.

There is only one godly throne, and [Destiny] cannot help but fight for that position.

In order to defeat [Destiny], one must first cut off the supply of Destiny to her.

Therefore, as long as Cen Xun wants that position, he will absolutely not abide by the terms of the deal and save the humans in the real world.

Cen Xun brushed off the debris on his sleeves and said calmly, "It's late, let's go back."

This little episode just passed like that.

After separating from Cen Xun and the others, Tong Ming saw that Zhou Mian looked absent-minded and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhou Mian, what are you thinking about?"

Zhou Mian ignored him, and Tong Ming's voice became threatening: "Don't make me ask a second time."

When Zhou Mian heard his tone, his waist and abdomen subconsciously tensed up, and he gritted his teeth and endured it, "I was thinking, I seem to have seen [Destiny] somewhere."

Tong Ming denied it outright: "Impossible, if you have seen it, how can I not see it?"

"When you were a kid playing in the mud in the fields with your bare bottom, I could see it clearly." Tong Ming said leisurely, "If you had seen [Destiny], I would certainly know it too."

"Zhou Mian silently quickened his pace.

On the other side, Cen Xun walked beside Feng Jihan and suddenly said, "After watching [Destiny] tonight, you seemed a little absent-minded. Has she bullied you before?"

Feng Jihan suddenly came to his senses and thought, "That's not the case. Destiny rarely takes action. I've never had a direct battle with her before."

Cen Xun asked, "What kind of strange thing do you think fate is?"

Feng Jihan thought for a moment and said, "She is a neutral person. She doesn't interfere in the disputes between you brothers and sisters, and she seems to have no desire for the throne. She seems to always stay away from disputes."

Cen Xun nodded and commented sharply, "Generally speaking, the more someone claims to be noncompetitive, the more fiercely they compete in private."

"Great minds think alike." The road was wide, but Feng Jihan insisted on walking together with Cen Xun. "It's a harsh saying, but it's true: a dog that bites doesn't bark. Time is the barking dog, followed by natural disasters and the Seven Evils. As for fate, I think she's the biting dog that doesn't bark."

Cen Xun: "What about me?"

Feng Jihan looked at him for a moment: "Evil fleece."

""

Cen Xun: "Feng Jihan, am I being too kind to you?"

Feng Jihan felt really wronged: "You asked me to say it, but you didn't want to hear it after I said it."

Cen Xun: "You mean I'm petty?"

The more he talked, the more wrong he seemed to be. Feng Jihan simply shut up, turned into a bird, flew to Cen Xun's shoulder, and whistled guiltily.

Cen Xun carried the bird on his shoulder and took a few steps forward: "I still feel something is wrong."

As soon as the whistle stopped, the black and white bird poked its head over to look at him.

Cen Xun said thoughtfully, "Couldn't Fate have guessed that I wouldn't abide by the terms of the deal?"

If he were [Destiny], he would definitely make second-hand preparations.

Cen Xun paused slightly and continued walking forward.

Hopefully he's just overthinking it.
