Chapter 1 Those

"That one? So you do know something." Chen Ge looked at Jiang Xuan, seemingly sensing a threat from him. His shadow also began to stir, as if the figure within was about to emerge.

Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, looking at Chen Ge, and said, "I do know a few things."

Having said that, he glanced at Gao Jian and Han Fei, "The three of you come from three different timelines, and at the same time, you represent the will of three cities."

"The City of Dreams, the City of Blood, the City of Night, these were originally three isolated islands in the Sea of Mist, but because of *Him*, you were able to meet here," Jiang Xuan said.

At the same time, he looked at the black and white sky outside and slowly said, "As for the reason *He* brought you together… do you know what is meant by the Will of Heaven?"

"The Will of Heaven?!" Gao Jian's eyes widened. He had heard of this concept before. Could it be that the mastermind this time was "*He*?"

Jiang Xuan nodded and continued, "Precisely the Will of Heaven, the original Will of Heaven, composed of fate (sù mìng) and destiny (mìng yùn). Fate is immutable, destiny is full of twists and turns. When the heavenly stars dimmed and destiny fell to a low ebb, fate gathered the will of all living beings to become the master of the Will of Heaven. It was from that moment that the saying 'it is destined' came into being."

He looked at Gao Jian and the others, "You once wounded fate, which is also why *He* was able to find you."

Then, he looked at Chen Ge, "You carry a city of blood on your back. Your good intentions have transformed into the will of the City of Blood, opening doors for the desperate in the world. Therefore, *He* also needs your strength."

Chen Ge was shocked. "Good intentions" transformed into the will of the City of Blood. Didn't that mean that the will of the City of Blood behind the door was actually himself?! Was this the truth that this mission wanted him to know?

However, Jiang Xuan had no intention of explaining it to him at this time. Instead, he looked at Han Fei, "You have chosen to coexist with salvation and destruction, facing the good and evil in the darkness. *He* is also looking forward to your transformation."

"The '*He*' you speak of… is Destiny?!" Gao Jian wanted to confirm. The only one who could be an enemy of fate was Destiny, who had once been on par with it, but he had originally thought that the Show was a manifestation of Destiny. But now it seemed that things were not as he thought.

Jiang Xuan nodded, but then shook his head, "*He* controls the destiny of all living beings, but *He* is not Destiny itself."

Chen Ge and the others couldn't help but be stunned. What exactly was the existence behind it all?

"You don't need to think too much about it. There's a reason why *He* brought you together this time," Jiang Xuan interrupted Chen Ge's reverie. "The City of Dreams is the only place where fate has been completely eliminated, which is why *He* chose to have you gather here."

"Then *He*… what exactly does *He* want us to do?" Gao Jian asked. That mysterious existence was so powerful that *He* could even distort time and space. So why didn't *He* do it *Himself*?

If even *He* couldn't do it, what could they do with their strength?

"The world is meaningless to *Him*, but *He* was once born in this world, and *He* once had loved ones in this world, so *He* is willing to give humanity a hope." Jiang Xuan looked at the sky and slowly said, "*He* will guide us to completely cut off fate."

"Cut off fate?!" Gao Jian couldn't help but exclaim. This was their goal all along, especially for him, who had been reincarnated countless times in order to find a way to obliterate fate.

"That's right," Jiang Xuan smiled. "Fate controls everything, but I believe that for *Him*, it is indeed nothing. Although I don't know why *He* didn't do it *Himself*, I believe that *He* can guide us to cut off fate."

Gao Jian's expression was heavy. He communicated with Little A and the man in the motley robe through sound transmission. After a long time, he nodded, "Alright, we are willing to participate, but you must first let us see the hope of cutting off fate!"

Jiang Xuan nodded, then looked at Chen Ge and Han Fei, "What about you? Do you want to grasp your destiny in your own hands, or leave it to fate to control?"

Finally, he added, "If you are unwilling, it doesn't matter. In the end, only a few are truly willing to risk their lives to transcend the control of fate. There is nothing wrong with being an ordinary person."

Although fate controlled the life and death of people, it had no impact on ordinary people in the first place. He didn't care about how they chose.

Chen Ge and Han Fei both fell into deep thought. After coming into contact with the darkness hidden beneath reality, they were no longer ordinary people. Moreover, this time they were caught up in such a thing. If they really didn't participate, who knew if they would be targeted by fate?

Therefore, this matter was inherently a trap, and they couldn't avoid participating even if they wanted to, so they could only nod their heads.

"Since that's the case, next we will go to the core of the City of Dreams. There are some things there that can prove that *He* has the power to guide us to cut off fate," Jiang Xuan said. Then, with a wave of his hand, black mist surged out of him frantically, as if swept by a gust of wind, rushing in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

The City of Dreams under the night instantly became different. Endless remnants of thoughts and monsters hid away one after another. Deep within the city, gazes were cast over, as if confirming who was causing such a commotion.

"Let's go. The city won't be in any danger for a short time," Jiang Xuan took the lead and walked into the black mist, as if transforming into a streak of blood-colored light, constantly advancing in the black mist.

The others didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly followed, constantly traveling through this bizarre and fantastical city. Sometimes, they could even feel some gazes that they couldn't look directly at staring at them, but other than that, they didn't encounter any danger along the way.

Even Gao Jian and the others had never mastered this kind of power. This was the power to truly control the entire dream world.

After walking through a long, seemingly endless street, they finally arrived in front of a tall building. This tall building was like a pillar propping up the sky, soaring straight into the black and white sky, appearing incomparably mysterious in the endless mist.

Jiang Xuan led them onto the elevator of this tall building. The interior of the tall building was shrouded in black mist. In the darkness, there seemed to be strange life existing, like whispers in the black mist, difficult to describe.

After a long time, they finally arrived at the top floor, which was also the top floor of the entire dream world. Looking out, they could overlook the entire dream city, but it was definitely impossible to see through with mortal eyes. Endless black mist shrouded everything. Only by reaching a certain level could one see everything in the dream from here.

"Look there!" Jiang Xuan stood on the roof, pointing in a certain direction, which was shrouded in surging black mist. The black mist was like seawater, constantly stirring and impacting the "sky" of the dream world.

Gao Jian and the others also thought of something. They had once borrowed the power of the dream world to wound fate, so they naturally knew this as well. However, this time they saw other things in this endless black mist.

It was clearly an endless sea of mist, and in the place closest to them, there were also two isolated islands. One was blood-colored, and in the dark, there seemed to be a special will that isolated the black mist.

The other was lifeless, shrouded in black mist, filled with all the negative emotions in the world, quite similar to the dream world.

"Your good intentions are the will of that blood-colored isolated island. It is precisely because of your good intentions that it can isolate the black mist and bring a glimmer of hope to the endless darkness."

Jiang Xuan said to Chen Ge. Chen Ge's good intentions were indeed extremely special, transforming into the will of a city in the Sea of Mist, directly transforming beyond the level of a fierce god. Furthermore, he opened doors in that city, constantly strengthening the City of Blood with the power of the red-clothed (hong yi), resisting the encroachment of the Sea of Mist.

"As for the City of Dreams where we are, and another isolated island, I think you can understand without me saying anything," Jiang Xuan said. "The reason why *He* chose you is because you are related to the three cities in the Sea of Mist. *He* intends for us to use the Sea of Mist as a foundation to build a battle line against fate."

"Although there are only three of you now, there will definitely be more in the future. After all, this Sea of Mist is vast and endless, existing in the past and the future, possessing infinite possibilities. With the help of the power here, one day, we will be able to stand against fate, and even completely obliterate it."

Gao Jian and the others finally understood. The reason why they had gathered was also because of this mysterious Sea of Mist, and "*His*" power was to guide them to gather and constantly help them grow stronger.
