Chapter 1161

Cui Wenzi was already a messy old man.

As a result, he did not expect that his friend, the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock, would look so young.

He looked to be about thirty years old, with gray and white hair, and an extraordinarily handsome face. In comparison, Su Xuan's appearance was really not worth mentioning and looked plain.

After Su Xuan arrived here, the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock put down the brush he was holding and did not get up, just sitting behind the desk, looking at Su Xuan and saying: "I have long heard of Mr. Su's name, but I have never had the chance to meet him. Today, I have finally seen you."

Su Xuan's gaze also fell on the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock for a while, and he said softly: "I also did not expect that you would be so skilled in maintaining your youthful appearance."

The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock looked young, but Su Xuan felt a sense of vicissitudes from him that was completely different from his appearance, which is why Su Xuan said the other party was skilled in maintaining his youthful appearance.

"The so-called art of maintaining youthful appearance is just a minor path."

The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock said softly.

Su Xuan agreed, "It is indeed a minor path."

After a little small talk, Su Xuan's tone changed again, "I wonder why you invited me here through Cui Wenzi?"

"Just to invite Mr. Su to watch a story."

Although the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock was meeting Su Xuan for the first time, he seemed to know everything about Su Xuan.

"What story?" Su Xuan asked the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock.

The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock handed a stack of paper filled with writing in front of him to Su Xuan, and while handing it to Su Xuan, he said: "Although this object is from later generations, I have to say, brought to the current era, it indeed changed the entire era and is extremely convenient."

Just this one sentence caused a flash of brilliance to burst from Su Xuan's eyes.

But in the end, he did not say much, but took the paper handed over by the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock.

In these papers handed over by the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock, a long story was told.

Su Xuan was very familiar with this story; it was surprisingly a part of the plot of the Myth, continuing until Yu Shu was imprisoned in the Heavenly Palace, and Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao met again on Tangwu Mountain and then parted ways. Regarding the plot after that, it was not finished.

It seemed that there was no way to write it down.

Reading ten lines at a glance, Su Xuan soon finished reading the story.

His gaze returned to the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock.

The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock looked calm, without joy or sorrow, "What are Mr. Su's thoughts?"

"A very good story!"

"Yes, I also think this story is very good, but unfortunately, such a story is destined not to happen." The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock sighed and asked Su Xuan again: "Mr. Su personally rewrote this story, making such a story no longer happen; are you very proud?"

Su Xuan nodded, "I am indeed quite proud. After all, if everything developed according to the description of this story, the fates of the several people in the story would be too miserable."

"I have always been compassionate and cannot bear to see tragedies happen. Instead of sitting by and watching the appearance of tragedies, it is better to rewrite them directly."

"As for you, you said so much, but you still haven't told me who you are?"

When asking this question, the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock immediately felt an incomparably powerful force covering his body. He had a feeling that if he could not give a satisfactory answer, Su Xuan could kill him at any time.

This made a bitter smile appear on the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock's face.

As expected of a demon star descending from outside the sky to this world, directly turning this testing ground into a mess.

Many complex thoughts flashed through his heart, and the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock answered Su Xuan's question, "I am an observer!"

"Observer?"

"Yes, an observer." The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock nodded gently and asked Su Xuan a question, "In Mr. Su's view, what is this world?"

Su Xuan fell into deep thought.

The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock did not play by the rules, and without waiting for Su Xuan to respond to this question, he said: "In our eyes, this is a real world, but in the eyes of higher-level existences, this world is just a testing ground."

"The fate of the world, the fate of everyone, was destined from the beginning, and the whole world is moving forward according to the established trajectory."

Su Xuan's eyes flickered, "Is the story you gave me the original fate of this world?"

Su Xuan had some guesses in his heart, but whether he could get an affirmative answer depended on what the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock said next.

The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock nodded again and said: "The world is like a chessboard, and everyone's position was determined from the beginning. Unfortunately, this game of chess has been completely disrupted because of Mr. Su, an outsider."

"You invited me here because I disrupted this game of chess, so you are prepared to hold me accountable?" Su Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock shook his head, "Just because this game of chess is already ruined, and I have no meaning in continuing to observe this world, so I found Mr. Su and explained the whole story."

"According to the original script, the descent of the Heavenly Star would be the signal for the end of this story. Unfortunately, because of Mr. Su, even if this Heavenly Star fell into the world, it no longer had its original meaning."

After the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock finished speaking, his tone changed again, and he said something inexplicable, "To be honest, I envy Mr. Su very much."

"Envy me for what?"

"Naturally, I envy Mr. Su for being able to rewrite the plot at will and change all the originally destined fates."

"Can't you do it?"

The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock shook his head, "Although I am an observer and know the fate of everything, I mostly just act as a role that guides fate to its original trajectory and do not have the ability to rewrite fate."

Su Xuan was silent.

After a long time, he asked the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock again: "You said earlier that this world is a testing ground, and in the testing ground, the fate of all living beings is proceeding according to the original trajectory. Then, I wonder, what exactly is being tested in this world?"

Hearing this question, the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock was immediately wide awake.

He answered truthfully: "Because the original fate has been completely changed and the so-called script has lost its meaning, I can tell Mr. Su the answer."

"The purpose of this test is to test love, to see if it will be worn away under the passage of time and years, and if it can withstand the test of time."

"If it cannot, it proves that for long-lived species, love and family affection are actually emotions that can be discarded; if it can, it proves that in this world, there really exists something eternal!"

While speaking, the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock added: "The name of this test is—Myth!"
