"Can you tell me now what Rong Qi did? What price did he pay?" Xu Nian stopped wasting time and cut straight to the point, eager to know the answer.
"Little girl, don't rush, let me tell you slowly." He started by telling Xu Nian a story about a man who lost his beloved.
In every lifetime, no matter how outstanding this man is, his beloved will always die at a fixed point. Everyone tells him it is fate, but he does not believe it.
He rejected the girls who came after him and spent his days guarding the remains of his beloved, day after day, year after year, generation after generation.
In every lifetime, he will fall in love with the one he loves, but in every lifetime, the one he loves will not have a good end.
Later, he tried every means to resist, and gradually, he spent more and more time with his beloved.
In that lifetime, he and his beloved were getting married, but his girl suddenly died in his arms.
The pain of losing his loved ones life after life tormented his soul, driving him to frantic search for their souls.
He couldn't understand why the world couldn't accept his daughter, who was such a good person.
He later realized that it was truly a cruel twist of fate.
In this world, some people are born to be the protagonist, while others are born to be supporting characters to the protagonist.
Supporting roles appear when the main character needs them, and fade into dust when they have no value.
Unfortunately, the person he loved was just a supporting character, a supporting character who existed solely for him.
No matter how hard he tries to stop it, his beloved will die.
Whether he appears or silently protects, he ultimately cannot escape the fate of a supporting character.
Watching his beloved die in front of him time and time again, he went completely insane. He considered dragging everyone down with him to be buried with his beloved, but he still remembered his beloved's preferences.
She dislikes the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, and she would never fall in love with a madman who has lost his mind.
Even if her former lover destroyed the world for her sake, she could not accept it.
Therefore, there is only one path left for him: to defy fate and transform the supporting character's destiny into the protagonist's destiny for his beloved.
Driven by his deep love for his beloved, the man found the space station in charge of managing the small world system and offered everything he had to give to bring his beloved back to life.
Xu Nian felt a dryness in her mouth after hearing this. She closed her eyes and said, "So I am that supporting character."
"Yes." He simply nodded in agreement.
After hearing the whole story, Xu Nian couldn't even imagine how Yin Shang had endured those painful times all by himself.
If she were to watch her beloved die in front of her again and again while still retaining her memories, she would probably go even crazier than him.
"If the Shang dynasty had succeeded in changing my fate, would he have died?"
"He has lost his divinity, his divine heart, his destiny, and the very essence of this world. Do you think he can still live?" I could only laugh and ask in return.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian bit her lower lip, her face pale. It turned out that all the system tasks were pre-designed, and she had foolishly thought that completing the tasks would allow her to return to the real world and spend the rest of her life with him.
"When did I take his luck?"
“The token between your eyebrows is his fortune. The deeper your entanglement in each lifetime, the more fortune he passes on to you.” Xu Nian’s face grew increasingly grim, and she was worried that she might go berserk and destroy all of Rong Qi’s hard work.
After learning the whole story, it would be a lie to say that Xu Nian wasn't moved.
She forced herself to calm down while thinking about the best way to break the deadlock.
The Shang dynasty cannot die, and I cannot be harmed either, otherwise everything will have been in vain.
She dared not imagine what would happen to Rong Qi if he failed again this time!
While pondering, Xu Nian turned her gaze to Zhi.
Its presence here is definitely not just for entertainment. Since it didn't stop Rong Qi and even said so much to her, it must have some ulterior motive.
Perhaps it was designed to solve this problem?
It just doesn't like keeping secrets. Seeing that Xu Nian is placing her hopes on it, it pretended to cough and said, "That child doesn't have to die, but you still need to change your fate as a supporting character."
"How do I change it?" Xu Nian was eager to know the method.
"That's easy." With a flick of his claw, the world before Xu Nian's eyes underwent a dramatic transformation.
All things disappeared, and countless thin lines appeared in the vast and boundless world. Some of these lines connected heaven and earth, some connected flowers, trees, and grass, some connected mountains and rivers, and even the clouds floating in the sky had a thread on them.
Well, how should I put it!
In Xu Nian's eyes, everything in the world seemed to have changed drastically. She felt that everything was like a puppet on a stage, controlled by thin strings hanging down from the sky.
Everything and everyone is being manipulated and performing according to a script.
Just like herself, there are fine lines on her wrist joints, feet, and head.
However, the thin threads on her wrists and feet have broken, and only the thin thread connecting her to the top of her head remains.
Although the thin thread above her head had stopped spinning, it trembled from time to time, as if it could control her to start performing according to the script at any moment.
"Little girl, find a way to cut the thin thread on your head. Only when it's broken can you be reborn." It appeared only in front of Xu Nian, floated around the thin thread, looked at Xu Nian, gave her an encouraging look, and then floated away again.
"Please tell me, how do I cut it shorter?" Xu Nian realized that she had no weapon on her body, and the thin line on its head looked thin, but no matter how she tried to touch it or bite it with her teeth, the thin line did not budge.
Xu Nian even suspected that if it weren't for the fact that she was only here, she wouldn't have been able to touch this wire.
"Since there's thread, there must be scissors too. As for where the scissors are, you can find them yourself." He gave only a suitable hint and then leisurely floated to the side, watching Xu Nian use all her skills to cut the thread.
"By the way, don't blame me for not reminding you, a day here is equivalent to a hundred years in the mortal world, even in the immortal realm. If you don't hurry, your child won't recognize you anymore."
Xu Nian felt that Zhi's words were somewhat gloating, but she couldn't argue with him now; that would be a waste of time.
She began searching for scissors in this world of fine threads, but the dense threads were like a loom in a textile factory, with rows and rows of threads overlapping each other, making it impossible to see anything nearby until she got close.
Xu Nian quickly searched for the so-called scissors, but soon she stopped this blind search.
This world is vast and boundless; even if she searched here for a lifetime, she might not be able to find the edge, let alone find a pair of scissors.
There must be other ways.
Thinking about it, Xu Nian began to carefully observe the fine lines of this world.
Every thin thread connects to something; some things are aging and decaying, while others are coming back to life.
Xu Nian saw that when those old and decaying things died, the thin threads connecting them would fall from the sky, as if they had been cut off from above.
So the scissors might be in the sky?
