Chapter 4075: Reason

Drip, drip~

Fresh blood dripped down the tip of the blade. Su Xiao held a powerful member of the Royal Clan by the back of the neck with one hand. After carefully observing the opponent's mechanical right eye, Aoge crystals spread. Amidst the wails of this powerful Royal, he assimilated its throat into crystal and crushed it with a *crack*.

Looking down from above, the docks of Silver Sand Port were covered in crystallized severed limbs and arms. For these Tier 9 and powerful existences, this large-scale spreading crystallization was the best method for killing enemies.

For instance, ten-plus meters away, a Tier 9 Ascension Warlock who had been in the middle of leaping was now fully crystallized, his expression still frozen in the fear he felt the moment before his neck was crystallized.

The long blade turned in Su Xiao's hand, switching to the spine-out position. With a heavy smash-slash, *boom*, a crystal statue that had once been a Royal was smashed to pieces. This Royal had a high degree of modification; even after being crystallized, it had continued to detonate its core.

Among those who came to besiege Su Xiao this time, there was not a single true Supreme. Ancestral God Yashimis was very powerful, but not strong enough to forcibly command a true Supreme. After the Exile Hatu died, the Gladiator faction of this world collapsed, and the few Supremes from the remaining two major forces had hidden without a trace.

It was no wonder; after learning that the Abyss Catastrophe might arrive, all powerful existences were desperately trying to truly ascend to Supreme. Once they reached Supreme, when facing a massive disaster, not to mention participating, a Supreme could truly protect themselves and the families behind them.

Of course, the Supremes of this world who were previously named to go to the "Secret Island" did not count. If they didn't go, the likes of Silgefor, Su Xiao, and others would let them know what it meant to have few rivals below the "Supreme Peak" level.

The Secret Island was the final evil fruit of the Second Era Alchemy faction. Let alone them, even the Exile Hatu had died on it.

The current situation was different. These Supremes who hadn't been drawn into the world's major events chose to take their kin and stay far away from the Empire. Afterward, they only needed to wait—wait for the final victor to emerge. If Ancestral God Yashimis won, they could rejoin the Mechanical God Sect. This Ancestral God had a ninety-percent-plus probability of not killing them, because no matter where, Supremes were very rare.

The Empire had been established for thousands of years, and with the top-tier power systems provided by the three major forces, they had only produced so many Supremes in total. Several had been slaughtered by Su Xiao just after he arrived in this world, and nearly half had died on the Secret Island.

The lifespan of a Supreme was long enough, reaching several thousand years. Naturally, this couldn't compare to old monsters who had lived from the First Era until now, but several thousand years of life was already long enough. Moreover, this was only the base lifespan; it could be extended through rare secret treasures and the like.

By the current stage of this world, Su Xiao gradually felt the status and advantages that native Supremes possessed within their own world. After he ascended to Supreme, the first place he went was the Ancient Dragon Kingdom.

The first three people he saw after entering the world were all Supremes. After leaving the Shelter City, the situation became even more absurd. The spread of the Abyss was pervasive; in the Abyss Zone, Tier 9 dark creatures were as common as anything, powerful Abyss-type creatures were very common, and Supreme Abyss creatures could be encountered occasionally.

After clashing with the Dukain family, the situation became even more absurd. He, a Supreme who had just ascended, was fighting nothing but Supremes. It wasn't that he did so intentionally; it was that he couldn't encounter weaker enemies anymore.

Finally, after ending the absurd world of the Ancient Dragon Kingdom, Su Xiao arrived at the World of Gods. It could only be said that this place was even more absurd. The secret controllers of the three major forces were actually "Supreme Peaks" from the First Era, even if suppression and strength decline had turned them into beings below "Supreme Peak."

This time, being besieged by a large group of Tier 9s and powerful existences made Su Xiao realize one thing: even in a late-stage world, there actually weren't many Supremes. The more numerous powerful existences were the main body of the major factions. Supremes generally wouldn't act easily, though there were exceptions.

This exception was encountering an enemy like Su Xiao, as the enemy faction would have a stress reaction because a Supreme Technique Grandmaster was simply too notorious.

In clashes between Supremes, the situation of a life-or-death outcome actually didn't exceed ten percent. In over ninety percent of cases, one side would be heavily injured, and the other side wouldn't want to face the desperate counterattack of a Supreme, so the battle would subside. Afterward, both sides would negotiate through their subordinate forces; the winner would obtain sufficient benefits, and the loser would pay a sufficient price.

Conversely, Supreme Technique Grandmasters were simply Supreme executioners. In clashes with others, there was a seventy percent probability of a life-or-death outcome. Which major faction wouldn't have a stress reaction when facing this situation?

Let alone one Supreme dying, if one Supreme in a faction was heavily injured, that faction would tense up. If two Supremes were both heavily injured, then they would have to enter a state of turtle-like withdrawal.

Su Xiao had just prepared to turn and return to the Lord Train when he suddenly raised his crystal left hand.

*Crack! *

A sharp blade pierced through his crystal left arm. This blade was about 50 centimeters long, a sharp short sword. Its hilt length occupied one-fifth of the entire weapon. The balance of the entire weapon was graceful, and the feel was excellent; it was clearly a masterwork.

Su Xiao didn't even bother with the Shadow Assassin. He pulled this "Sharp Sword" from his crystal palm and felt its grip.

"Good."

Su Xiao held the Sharp Sword in one hand, and after his other crystal index finger brushed over the spine of the blade, he pressed his crystal fingertip against the tip of the Sharp Sword. Rarely one to praise, he didn't spare his admiration this time. He looked to the side at the dissipating Shadow Assassin clone, not quite understanding how a powerful existence dominated by fate's power could possess such a weapon.

Hundreds of kilometers away, in a cave in the wilderness, because this cave was sealed shut, there was only the faint light from a yellow gemstone on the ceiling. In the dimness, a pair of eyes that were still fearful but revealed a hint of crimson opened. This was the true body of the Shadow Assassin.

At this moment, the Shadow Assassin was panting heavily. Waking up from a strange state, her scalp felt slightly numb, and her body couldn't stop trembling. As a genius in the past, she had always had an ambition: to successfully assassinate a Supreme. Only by doing so could she possibly ascend to Supreme.

The problem was that the Supremes of this world were all high-level or top-level members of major factions. Supremes without factions simply didn't exist. Ianna, who was born and raised here, knew very well how terrifying the Mechanical God Sect, the Royal Clan, and the three major minister factions were.

When a siege circulating in the black market reached Ianna's ears, she was naturally attracted, especially upon learning that the besieged person was from outside the world, not only having no ties in this world but also being a mortal enemy of the three major forces. Ianna knew her opportunity had come.

Ianna made the mistake that most "limit-level powerful existences" would make, feeling that she was only one ascension away from a Supreme. Moreover, the number of people participating in this siege was in the hundreds. What was absurd was that it was said that even Supremes were participating.

This actually made Ianna want to retreat, but her power system dictated that she needed to kill a Supreme to advance further. Amidst her inner conflict, fate made the choice for her.

Before Ianna thrust the assassination blade, she was once so terrified that her brain went a bit blank. She even wanted to turn and flee, but her instinct as an assassin told her she had to continue, otherwise, there would be no chance of survival.

There was no counterattack as she had imagined. In fact, the opponent didn't even look at her, but instead snatched the "Shadow Dance" Sharp Sword she had used for the assassination. Although she wanted to reclaim this weapon that was as important as her life, after thrusting this strike, Ianna woke up as if from a dream.

That was, why did she come to assassinate a Supreme who had been besieged by hundreds of powerful existences and ended up slaughtering them like vegetables?

So, after the assassination failed, Ianna immediately dispelled her shadow clone. At this moment, she was a bit amused by her own stupidity. Not only had she used the "Shadow Dance" Sharp Sword, which was as important as her life, but just now it had only been a shadow clone assassination, yet she had been so nervous that it felt as if she would really die the next second.

On second thought, Ianna felt relieved. The aura of that Supreme Grandmaster was simply too astonishing. As an assassin, after getting close to the opponent, she actually had a feeling of trembling, as if her legs were weak and she was stepping on cotton.

"Is this a Supreme? It's really... too terrifying."

Obviously, Ianna's judgment of Supremes had a huge error. The one she had assassinated had personally killed Supremes in the double digits. Of course, Abyss creatures and top-tier alchemy creatures couldn't be counted among them; this was a consensus.

"What is wrong with me? Why would I do such a stupid thing?"

Ianna furrowed her slender brows. With wheat-colored skin and a petite figure, she really couldn't figure out why she had done such a stupid thing today.

"Yeah, why do such a stupid thing?"

The voice that suddenly came from beside her made Ianna almost jump from her sitting position. Her whole body was somewhat stiff. She turned her gaze to the side. Sitting beside her, holding a bottle of fine wine, was none other than the target she had just assassinated.

It's over.

This was Ianna's only thought. She even judged through her perception of the next few seconds of the future that she would suddenly leap sideways and shadow-morph, and then her head would be cut off by her own weapon, the "Shadow Dance" Sharp Sword. What was even more absurd was that the "Shadow Dance" Sharp Sword was a hundred times sharper in this enemy's hand than in her own.

Su Xiao looked at Ianna, feeling only wonder at the current situation. As for Ianna assassinating him, this assassin was purely unlucky; this assassination was simply driven by fate.

First of all, the siege at the port just now was a conspiracy. Those powerful existences had all had their "existence" stolen, or rather, they were just puppets of Ancestral God Yashimis.

This was a probe—a probe to see if Su Xiao would leave this world immediately after returning to the main body of this world, or if he would head straight for the Empire's royal city, Star Shine City, Inserton.

Ancestral God Yashimis wouldn't block the former; it was the biggest beneficiary of the Secret Island trip. If Su Xiao were to head to Star Shine City, Inserton, the attitude represented was clearly that he wanted to fight Ancestral God Yashimis to the death.

Ancestral God Yashimis didn't care about the battle itself; it had full confidence in winning because its current strength was already above "Super-Top Supreme" and was recovering toward "Supreme Peak." The key was that it had to be prepared for the Original Sin Object it would have to face after killing this Law-Breaker.

Right now, Ancestral God Yashimis, having determined that this Law-Breaker was an obstacle to mastering this world, had already begun to pay massive resources to prepare for the Original Sin Object it would face after killing this Law-Breaker.

Besides this probe, what truly made Su Xiao suspicious was the assassination from the Shadow-type that came here. The opponent's assassination was no different from suicide. But while holding the opponent's assassination Sharp Sword and feeling the aura of fate on it, he confirmed one possibility.

This Shadow-type was wrapped in the power of fate and participated in this siege. Su Xiao could only think of one person with this kind of fate-type power in this world: the strongest diviner in the Star Realm, that old woman whose name was unknown and whose origin was unknown.

But if the old woman harbored malice, why drive an assassin of this level to carry out an assassination? This was indeed too incomprehensible.

Inside the cave, Ianna's face was ashen. She was already convinced that she was going to die here today. No one would forgive an assassination attempt against themselves. If the opponent was of the evil faction, then it would be normal to toy with her enough before torturing her to death.

"This short sword? Where did it come from?"

The "Shadow Dance" Sharp Sword in Su Xiao's hand flipped. He held the blade part with his bare hand and handed the hilt to Ianna, which made Ianna slightly stunned.

"You are...?"

Ianna was very confused. Then, thinking of something, she curled up and prostrated on the ground, saying in the most sincere tone: "I don't want to die yet. I can kill for you, serve you, do anything. And I am very clean. I don't come from an assassin organization..."

Seeing this, Su Xiao threw the Sharp Sword toward her, and Ianna caught it subconsciously.

"Don't improvise. Answer the question honestly."

"Ah? Oh, I am at..."

Speaking to this point, Ianna hesitated because the place where she obtained this Sharp Sword was a treasure vault she had reserved for herself to activate after ascending to Supreme.

Why not use it now? Of course, it was because she couldn't open it. Otherwise, Ianna would have long since used this to invite a Supreme to the Abyss-spreading zone to kill a Supreme-level Abyss creature, thereby achieving the conditions for ascending to Supreme. Not all Supremes ascended through traditional methods.

Su Xiao took out a pocket watch and pressed it with a *click*. Afterward, every 10 seconds, a "Thorn of Mercy" would deeply pierce into Ianna's body. Of course, after the first "Thorn of Mercy" pierced into Ianna's body, no matter what happened afterward, she had to die.

Su Xiao couldn't be bothered to kill a powerful existence who was driven and semi-dominated by fate to assassinate him, but he would definitely thoroughly kill a powerful existence he had tortured. It had to be a slash to extinguish them, followed by crystal assimilation spreading, and finally a *bang* as they shattered into slag. Scenes like letting an enemy grow to come back for revenge would 99.9% not happen with him.

The pocket watch emitted the *click, click* sound of the second hand jumping, which brought huge psychological pressure to Ianna. Just as the time was about to reach 10 seconds, she clapped her hands against her face. She was again amused by her own stupidity; being able to live was more important than any wealth.

"The location is very far, in the Empire's East Cold Border..."

The train sped along. Ianna, sitting in a window seat, drank hot coffee, the hot drink gradually calming her heart.

She glanced at the Tauren without a trace and immediately withdrew her gaze, because the look that Tauren gave her was more than just unkind; it was as if she made the slightest rash move, he would press her to the ground and chop off her head with an axe. The aura of that Dark Executioner made Ianna feel a stinging sensation in her perception.

That big dog was also not to be trifled with. In the previous siege battle, she had seen with her own eyes how several powerhouses of the divine flesh system were suddenly controlled, suddenly turned against their own, killing several people, and then exploding with a *boom* before they could even be besieged.

The magic eagle near the big dog went without saying; the suppression of superior power made Ianna convinced that this was an assassin of the Supreme tier.

The only one that looked easy to bully was that cat, but this thought was dispelled a few seconds later, because that Tauren put down the Dark Battle Axe with a *clatter*, immediately scaring the sleeping cat-star person awake. That cat-star person just stared at the Dark Executioner like that, and the result was that the Dark Executioner became an honest cow, sat there, and didn't make a sound.

Amu of course didn't make a sound. Benny was the one in charge of the money. If the Young Lady was unhappy, the extra meal allowance given each time would be gone. It should be known that these expenses were all from the proceeds of the treasures Benny the Young Lady found herself. However, during a time when Su Xiao was a powerful existence and urgently needed money, Benny the Young Lady's savings hit zero.

At the speed of the Lord Train, they arrived at the East Cold Border where Ianna belonged the next morning.

A blizzard howled. Looking down from above, the Lord Train plowed a path on the snowfield, with a large group of ice wolves chasing behind. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, that idiot, suddenly howled twice after arriving in the cold land, which ended up attracting the local wolf gang.

Slaughtering them all was possible, but there was no such necessity. Su Xiao had done his fair share of slaughtering an entire clan when it came to enemies, but coming to someone else's territory and suddenly howling twice, and then not allowing them to chase for dozens of kilometers? When he acted, he was accustomed to being in the right. If he really couldn't be in the right, a conversion of the Law-Breaker formula would naturally make him in the right.

After traveling for hundreds of kilometers, the pack of wolves behind was exhausted and foaming at the mouth. Seeing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang poked his head out and howled twice more. The pack of wolves behind all stopped, howling continuously. Although Su Xiao couldn't understand, he guessed that the pack behind was cursing quite filthily.

"Supreme Sir, the blizzard affects my judgment of the location of that underground palace. I really don't want to renege. When the blizzard subsides, I will definitely be able to find it. If I can't find it, you can kill me immediately."

Ianna's tone was firm. She really didn't want to drag out time. The blizzard caused the environment here to change suddenly, making the shadow stone she had left behind very difficult to perceive.

"..."

Su Xiao controlled the Lord Train to stop. A few minutes later, the wolf king that had been cursing the filthiest behind was sitting in the train, embarrassed yet nervous, while the pack of wolves behind, although there were no casualties, were generally bruised and swollen. This was clearly the result of physical negotiation with Amu's fists.

Facts proved that it was still the locals who knew best. Under the enthusiastic guidance of the wolf king, not long after, an ice-sealed high palace appeared in their line of sight.

*Creak, creak~*

Su Xiao stepped on the snow. He could ignore the cold here. Looking at the ice palace in front, he suddenly had a sense of familiarity. Soon, he judged that this wasn't a sense of familiarity, but rather caused by the ability of the fate-type.

Arriving in front of the ice palace and looking at the half-open palace door, Su Xiao asked, "When did you discover this ice palace?"

"About... a month ago? Um, yes."

"..."

Su Xiao walked into the ice palace. Just after entering, he saw a sculpture. This sculpture was about two meters tall and was a female powerhouse with a fishbone braid and half-armor. Her figure wasn't proud, but she had a kind of coordinated beauty. She had one hand behind her back and the other hanging by her side, with a grip-shaped hollow in her hand.

Su Xiao used his index and middle fingers to pinch out the Sharp Sword tucked in Ianna's lower back, threw it casually, and switched to holding the blade with his bare hand, using this to insert the hilt of the Sharp Sword into the statue's hand.

After doing this, he came to the inner side and pushed the metal door leaf that had originally sealed it. On the door, one could still see hundreds of white dots that had been stabbed. Who did it, it went without saying.

*Rumble~*

The metal door leaf opened, and behind the door was a staircase passage leading underground.

Seeing this scene, Ianna pressed her hands on both sides of her head, the whole person stunned there. When she first arrived here, she was attracted by the Sharp Sword in the female powerhouse's hand. After a polite bow, she took the Sharp Sword from the sculpture's hand.

As a result, now she was told that the door leaf she had thought about for more than half a month and had no way to open was actually using this Sharp Sword as a key?

*Snap~*

The sudden crisp sound made the few people in the palace cast their gazes over. Ianna, with a slap mark on her face, said:

"There's a mosquito."

Ianna now regretted it so much she wanted to slap herself again.

In fact, she really misunderstood herself. This Sharp Sword was indeed not a key. Looking at the Star Realm, the only person who could open this door without violent means was Su Xiao. He returned the Sharp Sword to its place just so Ianna wouldn't notice anything.

Ianna of course wasn't qualified to go deeper. Amu watched Ianna from outside, while Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Bahamut, and Benny into the underground passage.

Walking on the icy stairs, not long after, Su Xiao felt a faint hot wind blowing from below. The stairs under his feet also became wet, indicating that the hot wind wasn't an illusion. When they reached the end, a dark gold metal door leaf blocked the way.

Observing this dark gold metal door, Su Xiao pressed one hand on it, and the metal door gradually dissolved, revealing a secret room.

This secret room was about dozens of square meters, filled with withered flesh structures. At the core position, a bench shape was vaguely visible, and on it sat a withered humanoid. On both sides of the humanoid were shriveled creatures huddled together. Looking at them, they should have been apple-sized spheres before they died.

Yes, the humanoid on the flesh bench was none other than the strongest diviner in the Star Realm, the old woman. She was already dead, and a spell stone hung on the dragon-head staff in her hand, emitting a faint white light.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao was even more convinced that the previous assassination by the Shadow-type was carried out under the trend of fate. In fate, she definitely couldn't harm Su Xiao and would trigger another cause and effect, provided that Su Xiao could see through all this. If Su Xiao had casually killed this assassin-type in the next second after encountering the assassination, then everything that followed would have vanished like smoke.

The fate-type was just like this; it wouldn't forcibly make certain things happen, because doing so would inevitably induce a corresponding price.

Su Xiao took down the spell stone. Upon initial perception, it contained text information. He probed the content inside with mental power; it was the old woman's last words.

The first point was that the old woman didn't stand entirely on Su Xiao's side. This point was clearly stated in the old woman's opening sentence.

The beginning of the whole thing was that Ancestral God Yashimis was almost killed under the siege of the overlords of the First Era. Although it didn't die, its divine body died. This was an almost unsolvable causal-level death until the complete rise of the Second Era Alchemy civilization, which let Ancestral God Yashimis see hope.

The destruction of the Alchemy faction was of course not arranged solely by Ancestral God Yashimis, but it had an inseparable relationship with Ancestral God Yashimis. It was it that let the alchemists obtain the "Causal Rune." From then on, alchemy pried open the "Causal Power," this Pandora's box, and it was completely opened.

The Alchemy civilization's god-making plan wasn't a rumor; it was a fact. The alchemists didn't want to create known gods; they used the Ancestral God's body as a container and the Ancient God's power as the source of power (Endless Origin) to create the strongest god that surpassed "Supreme Peak."

And with this strongest god, they would kill the contemporary Abyss Lord. At that time, dark knowledge would belong to the alchemists.

This ambition couldn't be realized. They resurrected the Ancestral God's body and created the "Endless Origin," but the fusion device had a problem. Once that thing went out of control, it would compress the entire Void to the size of an apple.

What was worse was that this matter leaked out. It was a top-tier alchemist who could no longer tolerate the increasingly crazy actions of his colleagues. No matter what reason was used, he couldn't comfort himself to let alchemy's development and creation involve the life and death of countless innocent people.

The major forces of the Star Realm could no longer tolerate the reckless actions of the Alchemy faction. The destruction of the Alchemy faction officially began, and afterward, there was nothing special, nothing more than destruction and the construction of the "Causal Lock Ring," plus the alchemy curse.

What was truly worth mentioning was that half a year ago, the old king learned that the strongest diviner in the Star Realm was traveling here and was in a very bad state, seemingly preparing to die here. The old king knew the opportunity had come.

The Empire's Emperor, Roald Saint Adz, found the strongest diviner. This Empire Emperor, who had no power but had top-tier Star Realm knowledge, only said a few words to the strongest diviner, the old woman, and moved her:

"The Abyss Catastrophe is coming. Those already unstable worlds in the Star Realm have already begun to collapse. There are thousands of such worlds, perhaps more. Let's try to build a world that accommodates all living beings. As long as this place transcends, the resource supply will be more than enough for all races to use.

Respected Prophet, do you want to witness the first transcendent world of the Third Era before your life burns out? It's here, a place that accommodates all races. Even if there will be strife and chaos here in the future, at the very least, we have obtained continuation. At least before the Abyss Catastrophe arrives, we will definitely unite.

Even if our power is not worth mentioning before the catastrophe, at the very least, we have resisted. Our World of Ten Thousand Races has existed and resisted."

Yes, this world was the world most likely to become a transcendent world in the current Third Era, especially since in the Second Era, this world had already been subjected to a large-scale invasion by the Abyss. It was the alchemists who actively opened the super-giant Abyss passage and successfully resisted this invasion, as well as the endless tide of Abyss monsters.

Su Xiao didn't quite understand before why a world had to face a large-scale Abyss invasion, and even at the very least, 95% of the world had to be invaded, and the world's natives had to successfully resist it before the current world could transcend.

After mastering "Top-Tier Abyss Studies," he knew why this was. The Abyss had extreme gain characteristics, and the Abyss power that spread into the world all belonged to the second-generation Abyss energy that had mutated after coming into contact with world power.

Only by not coming into contact with world power was it initial-state Abyss energy. If a world was invaded by the Abyss by more than 95%, then the world power was so scarce that it could only mutate a small amount of Abyss energy, and more than 90% of the Abyss energy pouring into this world was initial-state Abyss energy.

This meant that this world was being boosted by initial-state Abyss energy, and because the Abyss erosion range was large, the entire world was receiving this boost.

But if this boost continued, this world would be completely Abyss-ified, swallowed into the Abyss, and become a part of the Abyss. This required the natives of this world to complete this resistance to the Abyss, which was to end the Abyss energy's unbridled boost to this world.

A world boosted to such a degree by the Abyss was naturally a transcendent world, becoming vast, with extremely abundant resources, and the world tier was naturally top-tier.

The alchemists in their prime could of course do this, and the situation of this world met all the characteristics mentioned above. The Empire had grown in this world for more than 2,000 years, and more than 90% of this world was still undeveloped.

The transcendence of this world was only one step away. The existence of the "Causal Lock Ring" made this final step stuck fast.

The old woman was moved by the Empire Emperor. She saw the future and saw the "Origin Secret Code" awakened by the blood of the gods, as well as the Law-Breaker holding the magic blade.

According to the original plan, Su Xiao should have been led here by the "Heart of Stars." The Exile Hatu, eager to escape, agreed to take out the "Heart of Stars," but Su Xiao came early.

And, the Priest also came.

Although the situation was different from what was predicted, the overall direction was relatively similar. Actually, speaking of which, the old woman calculated Su Xiao, but in the old woman's plan, Su Xiao was one of the winners. Of course, the risks borne during the period were also genuine.

The old woman couldn't wait for the day when this world welcomed transcendence and died first in this remote, extremely cold place. That was because when Su Xiao sealed the "Causal Rune," he himself bore half of the causal pollution, and the other half was borne by the old woman. This was also the reason why she went to the Secret Island and then quietly left; she wanted to establish a fate coordinate there.

The old woman actually didn't lie to Su Xiao. The few powerhouses Su Xiao slaughtered and sent into eternal sleep were indeed her old friends from the past. This was also why, in her fate compilation, Su Xiao was one of the final winners.

Unfortunately, the old woman's fate compilation had already shattered; she was already a candle in the wind. In the old woman's own words, in her past choices, she chose to fear fate, but this time, she wouldn't watch those intelligent beings watch in despair as the earth collapsed and the firmament crumbled.

Besides this letter, the old woman also left a gift for Su Xiao—a wooden box beside her hand. Su Xiao picked it up and opened it:

【You have obtained Soul Energy Crystal ×4.】 ===== CHAPTER 4076 =====
