It felt like a city within a city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wide stone roads stretched in several directions, each lined with long wooden stalls and tiled roofs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red and gold banners fluttered overhead, bearing the symbols of merchant guilds and ancient clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The architecture leaned heavily toward ancient country from the pre-apocalypse era of Earth in style. There were curved eaves, carved pillars, and hanging lanterns that glowed softly even in daylight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with layered sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vendors called out their wares in loud, practiced voices. Bells rang as carts passed through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clatter of metal came from blacksmith stalls, while the sharp scent of herbs and incense drifted from apothecaries nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People wore long robes, martial uniforms, or merchant attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He occasionally spotted cultivators with calm expressions walked beside ordinary mortals, and no one seemed surprised by it. This was clearly a place where strength and trade met naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo moved through it all quietly, hiding his face from the Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped at a stall selling spiritual herbs and checked off several items from Vivi’s list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At another stall, he bought refined ores sealed in talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed without him noticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finally tied the last bundle to his storage ring, he realized hours had gone by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned slightly and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi wasn’t anywhere in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He considered searching for her, but she was more than capable of taking care of herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the thought lingered at the back of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned toward a quieter street at the edge of the market, a rough voice reached his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just one Ji! I’ll read your [Fate] in just one Ji!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head toward the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edge of the street, where beggars usually gathered, an injured and haggard man sat on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clothes were torn and stained, his hair matted, and one of his legs seemed twisted at an odd angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have your [Fate] read for one Ji!\" the beggar shouted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji was the common currency used in this world. The amount he was asking for was insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t what caught Neo’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fate? No... he’s saying something else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, Neo walked closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this person some powerful cultivator or martial artist?’ he wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped in front of the beggar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you can read Fate?\" Neo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S–Sir, welcome!\" the beggar said eagerly. \"Yes! I can read your [Fate]! It’s different from Fate and much more powerful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several nearby pedestrians snorted and chuckled when they heard that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A con artist again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does he think people will fall for that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to repeat the word the beggar had used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only \"Fate\" came out of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the real word was just beyond his reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the beggar was using a special language, imbuing the word with something that couldn’t be spoken casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo glanced around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It seems only I can tell something is off,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others clearly heard nothing unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what is this Fate you’re talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"[Fate] is the all-driving force!\" the beggar said excitedly. \"The Destiny! The Destination! It’s above the Dao of Fate and Paradox. [Fate] is born of karma and your choices!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo didn’t fully understand what the man was saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the word itself bothered him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after burning Life Flame, even with his absurd perception, he couldn’t analyze it or say it properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone was enough to make him curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked a Ji coin toward the beggar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Read mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you! Thank you for the money!\" the beggar exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He caught the coin with surprising speed and grinned, revealing dirty, uneven teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he grabbed Neo’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people nearby recoiled in disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A well-dressed man letting a beggar touch him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s ridiculous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo ignored them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y–You have a grand [Fate]!\" the beggar suddenly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your [Fate] is ■ (Eternal Transcendent \u002F Endless Hell \u002F Seat of Virtue \u002F Mad God)!\" he stammered. \"Y–You also have the temporary [Fate] of Cruelty! So many [Fate]... You will surely become someone great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are these Fates supposed to mean?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H–Hmm,\" the beggar hesitated. \"As I said, [Fate] is your Destiny and Destination. Look at your past. You will see how your [Fate] has always followed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began looking inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eternal Transcendent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who keeps growing stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That aligned far too well with his Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was Endless Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That one bothered him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does the Fate of Endless Hell mean?\" Neo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y–You’ve been going through Hell again and again, haven’t you?\" the beggar said carefully. \"Together with Eternal Transcendent, it means every time you manage to overcome one Hell, you become stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tartarus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stage Six God who captured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voraka Site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Universal Alliance, and the Ancient Dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apollyon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What does ’Endless’ mean?\" Neo asked quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y–Your Hell will never stop until you die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ar–Aren’t you worried? Your Hell will never end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I’ll keep getting stronger, right? That’s my dream. I don’t have a problem with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked two more Ji coins toward the beggar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Explain Seat of Virtue, Mad God, and Cruelty too,\" Neo added. \"Oh, right. What’s your name? Want to come to my sect? You seem to have a useful ability. You wouldn’t need to beg anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is ■ (Mu De). I am grateful for your offer, but I cannot come with you. As for your other [Fate], I cannot explain them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not?\" Neo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can only explain them when you realize what they mean yourself. J-Just like Eternal Transcendent and Endless Hell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Neo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to press further when a familiar voice called out from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad? I’ve been looking for you for an hour!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi was walking toward him with a smile on her face. It seemed she had calmed down after spending some time alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he looked at her, an unconscious question slipped from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, what was your name again? I couldn’t hear it clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is ■ (Mu De). But I believe you will find it easier to recognize my other name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice replied from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celestial Worthy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo snapped his gaze back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The street was empty, as if no one had been there at all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1150,"2026-05-30T08:01:17.152Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.950Z",1,"novelbin.me","3404ec9602ae361892f067b0ed230630b38745cf8b82a632b92dae322f76248b","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-810","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-808",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
