1579 It seems Something Strange has Appeared

Xia Fan had heard of a terrifying special ability called Time Control. A person with this ability could control time as they pleased, making it stop or accelerate, even reverse it.

Time Control was considered a top-class Law Power, comparable to Light, Darkness, and Speed, another power that could break the balance of all things. At this time, Xia Fan felt like he was being controlled by a Time Controller.

Xia Fan saw Traveling Buddha charging at the demonic dragon, Le Jiajia’s pale face, the relieved looks on the faces of the three talents of Subduing Demon City, but none of them were moving. It was like someone had pressed the pause button, bringing everything to a halt.

A tall and slim figure suddenly appeared in Xia Fan’s vision, its back toward him. With the world frozen, only Xia Fan and that dark figure could still move and speak.

“We meet again,” the dark figure said sternly. His entire body was ethereal, and he had his back toward Xia Fan, so it was not possible to make out his face.

“Again? Can you not pretend like we knew each other very well?” Xia Fan muttered.

The dark figure chuckled. “Of course again. It was just that you were very young back then, so you couldn’t have remembered.”

“When was that?”

“When you were just about a month old.”

Bzzz~

Xia Fan suddenly felt dizzy. His life had been full of misfortune, being stranded in an alien land from his childhood. The reason for that was because he had suddenly gone missing when he was only one month old, a mysterious power taking the infant Xia Fan to the Great Chiliocosm and throwing him into the Holy Tomb Planet in the Ashen Moon Universe, where the Disasters had raised him.

And the person in front of him was saying that he had met him when he was only a month old?

“What? You don’t believe me?” the dark figure said. “You have to understand that the month-old you couldn’t possibly have crossed through the Cosmic Gate and traveled the Great Chiliocosm by yourself. You had to have someone take you.”

“That person was you?”

“It was me.”

“Why did you do that? Do you find it amusing to split me from my family when I was just a baby?”

“There’s nothing amusing about it. You going missing was a momentous event that altered the structure of the multiverse. To look for you, the Skywings passed through the Cosmic Gate, and your father is a very smart man. He firmly believed that there was some sort of inauspicious omen lurking behind the Cosmic Gate. That was why, in the early period of his leadership, he had refused to take that step.”

Xia Fan considered this and said, “You’re saying that you took me away to lure the Skywings through the Cosmic Gate?”

The dark figure neither confirmed nor denied this, sternly continuing, “Look. The wheel of fate is constantly turning. Even without me, the Skywings would eventually have been unable to withstand their curiosity and entered the Great Chiliocosm. All I did was make everything happen earlier than scheduled.

“If you understand destiny, you understand that nothing occurs without a reason. The Skywings are powerful because they possess a unique Bloodline. Whether it was one hundred years or ten thousand years, they would eventually come back here and engage in their destined battle.”

Xia Fan shook his head. “You should know that my father doesn’t believe in fate.”

“It’s not fate, but destiny. In your bodies runs the blood of the King of Resolve and Speed! This is an existence carved into your genetic code, and it can never be wiped away.

“It’s been twenty years. You didn’t suddenly appear in front of me to talk about superstitious things like destiny, did you?” Xia Fan challenged him.

The dark figure looked up at the sky and sighed. “Whether you accept it or not, the wheel of destiny has already begun to turn. Your father and your family have thrown themselves into this current of no return. The more they understand about the Lower Realm, the more they understand their own destiny.

“To tell the truth, I’m not worried about your father, but you are different. You are an accident of the Skywings, the first in history with the Skywing bloodline to not have a natural seventh brain region. I trust that your clan will be as powerful as the records make them out to be, but you need to take a road completely different from the rest of your clan.”

Was he being looked down on…

Xia Fan felt rather embarrassed. Was there any need to so openly state that his talents were rather weak? Moreover, even if Xia Fan could fly freely through the galaxy, he had his own advantages, like his sharp nose and the Law of Gold!…

Xia Fan suddenly realized something and frowned. “If we go according to your logic, when you took me away, it was because I didn’t have a seventh brain region, and Blind Grandpa, who had the Law of Gold, was capable of forcing open the seventh brain region. Is that why you left me in his tomb?”

“Exactly. While the Law of Gold isn’t a combat law, it is particularly effective when it comes to other matters. Someone else wouldn’t have been able to reverse the fate of a natural-born good-for-nothing like you.”

Xia Fan nodded and continued, “That’s why I was taken away when I was only one month old, because I really couldn’t harm a soul. No matter how vigilant Blind Grandpa was, he wouldn’t be on his guard against a kid who couldn’t even talk.

“As the years went by and I slowly grew up, I developed a strong relationship with Blind Grandpa and the other Disasters. At that time, danger suddenly descended. Out of consideration for our relationship, Blind Grandpa sent me away and helped me open my seventh brain region. Was that all in your plan?

“If it was, then I have to say that you are truly quite the plotter. Other people calculate five steps ahead, but you were looking twenty years into the future!”

“Thank you for the compliment,” the dark figure said shamelessly. “But I must correct you on one point. The Disasters were not in my plan. They were a complete surprise. I didn’t plan for that pack of thieves to try and rob the Gold Clan’s tomb, and I also didn’t think that Blind Grandpa wouldn’t kill them.

“In my original plan, the blind man and his Law of Gold were enough. I didn’t plan on you learning that random mishmash of skills. Poisons, beast taming, even engineering and literature appreciation! You could consider it a misstep that caused all these strange things to be mixed up into your destiny.”

“But I think it was pretty good. Appreciation of literature can improve one’s basic essence,” Xia Fan mumbled.

The dark figure shrugged. “A strange and messed-up thing has worked its way in. I was planning to very solemnly tell you the truth, but now we’re talking about literature? How did all this start?”

“You were the one who brought it up.”

“Fine…” The dark figure clicked his tongue. “Let’s get back to business. The process was like this. If I didn’t take you away, the Skywings wouldn’t enter the Great Chiliocosm, and if the Skywings didn’t enter the Great Chiliocosm, the Demon Subduers of the Lower Realm wouldn’t have discovered the Skywings and invited them to the Lower Realm to fight against the demons.

“All of these things have a cause and an effect. As for me, I am the person that gave you and the Skywings’ wheels of fate a push. If I say all this, you should understand my importance now, right?”

“Even if I do understand, what does it matter?” Xia Fan countered. “With your help, the Skywings will go to war against the demons, and then, after a difficult war with many twists and turns, they overcome the demons, upholding justice and bringing peace and happiness to the world?”

“Please, can’t you get a more interesting script? Even a third-rate novelist could come up with this story.”

The dark figure fell silent, and then he spoke in a strange and confident tone. “Trust me, reality will never be like a script. Destiny decided everything long ago. Starting from a certain day in the future, the Skywings and I will stand together, looking over the world as lords.”
