The old man shook his head: "I don't like the night."

He snapped his fingers, and the dark universe shone brightly.

You have also seen clearly who it is.

The old man of fate smiled slightly: "My brother, so you were hiding in this place."

You're numb.

[As you chose to abort this future, a glance revealed a three- or four-meter-tall, jet-black figure appearing several hundred meters away. It seems that this strange figure is the same Celestial Lord who transformed Dark Universe Profound Heaven.]

[It's just that the Lord of the Universe seems a bit slow on the uptake; you were found by fate first, and then it was his turn to appear.]

After the foresight was interrupted, you scratched your head: "Something's not right...something must be wrong!"

"If I stay obediently in the old place, it will be more than two years before fate finds me."

"But the moment I left that old place and entered another universe, fate immediately appeared before me!"

"What the hell is this?"

"Could it be that this ancient universe can block the detection of the Lord of Destiny, and that the Lord of Destiny has deployed his methods within it?"

[You believe this is the only possibility. The Lord of Destiny has already begun searching for you. If it weren't for the secrecy of this ancient universe hindering his detection, you would have been captured long ago!]

You are trapped in the ruins of the past!

"I must escape this predicament. I must find a way to get rid of all this. Even if I can't find a way to escape, I must understand—how fate found me!"

[If you don't understand this point, no matter how many times you escape, it will be useless. Even if you successfully escape to the end of the Void Bright Sea this time, you will still be caught next time.]

"yes."

Yun Shou said earnestly, "Thirteen, you must work hard, you must successfully explore the unique skills of the Old Man of Destiny!"

He showered her with praise, his eyes brimming with trust and pride: "I believe in you. You are absolutely capable of doing all of this. You are the thirteenth brother I am most proud of, surrounded by an aura of wisdom!"

Now that Thirteen is facing certain death, Yun Shou no longer harbors any hostility towards Thirteen, who has always fought and struggled for his original self.

The 13 who once made him grit his teeth and secretly resentful, and who always wanted to turn the tables and take control, is now incredibly adorable in his eyes.

Recalling the words of those "masters of enlightenment" from thirteen years ago, Yun Shou's mindset gradually shifted from being defensive to a kind of indulgent indulgence towards the child's mischief.

"Little Thirteen was just being silly and joking before, so as the future Dao Master, I won't hold it against him."

"Sigh, really, why bother fighting against my true form? If you want it, it's not like I won't give it to you."

"Little rascal."

After rambling on for a while, Yun Shou regained his composure.

The most important thing for Thirteen now is to figure out how the Lord of Destiny found him, which is also crucial information he needs.

There are probably two possibilities for how Thirteen was found.

The first possibility is unsolvable: that is, the Lord of Destiny can directly lock onto his physical body and then come to kill him alone.

Bai He's ability to dispel bad luck had no effect on him, but he was not immune to the detection of the Lord of Fate, who possessed complete authority.

If that's the case, then he will inevitably be bound by the Lord of Fate in the future.

Unless the Lord of Destiny is completely unaware of his existence, or the Lord of Destiny only searches the entire Boundless Void Sea once every hundreds of millions of years, the intervals in between are his safe periods.

Yun Shou only hoped that it would be the second possibility: under the interference of the essential authority, the Lord of Destiny could not directly detect Thirteen, and instead located Thirteen through the True Immortals around him!

[You will meet the Lord of Destiny in the future, but before that, draw out a portion of your memories from your soul and have your subordinate True Immortals erase those memories.]

Those memories are of "you being in a simulation, while the real entity is watching the simulation from the outside."

[This is to prevent the other party from tampering with your cultivation level, so that if your main body doesn't see the simulated terms and chooses to inherit your cultivation, you'll be dead on the spot.]

"I knew you were thinking of me, Thirteen. As expected, the brothers of the Yun family are true love!"

"I love you the most, you B!"

You have retained the memory of being jointly chosen by two authorities, after all, you still need to use the ability to foresee the future.

[In the future, you will interact with the Master of Destiny.]

You pretend you've bumped into him by chance, hoping to extract information from him.

The old man, knowing he was in control, smiled and said he was willing to answer your questions and clear up all your doubts.

If he were facing other ants, Dao Lords, or fully-fledged Universe Lords, he wouldn't have the slightest desire to communicate with them unless he was in an exceptionally good mood. He had seen such reptiles far too many times; they were nothing special to him.

[But you are different—you are a Dao Lord of the same level as him, even if you are just an immature child, you still have the status and position to communicate with him.]

Fate was initially unaware of your existence, but two factors occurred: one led it to begin searching for you, and the other led it to find you.

The reason he sought you was simple: Bai He, Wu Yao.

Wu Yao is that enigmatic woman who enjoys collecting muscular men.

After you killed Wu Yao, her father, Wu Lan, suffered a mental breakdown: his only cherished relative, and his own daughter, had inexplicably perished, and no matter what he did, he couldn't find the truth, not even by using the laws of fate and cause and effect!
