"Huh?" Zhou Tian burst into an angry laugh. "What do you understand? You, such a prodigiously gifted Human Champion, what could you possibly understand? Of course you're powerful, invincible among your peers. But can you reverse the situation of this world? First, try surviving the hands of the causal monster 'Shang'! Even Human Champions are but a few. How many generations can you pass the torch on for?"
"Only we can make countless powerhouses and Heavenly Prides rise!"
"Only we are the most correct path and future!"
"You know about the Immortal Palace Battlefield, don't you? And you've seen those two futures, haven't you? If the third Time Tree opens, you'll get to see a third future of despair!"
"Those are all futures where our plan was interrupted, or even where we never intervened at all!"
"Only death, only despair!"
"What rescuers arriving ten thousand years later? That's all a conspiracy of Hope and the God of Desperate!"
"Old friend! Why can't you still see it clearly?"
Within the ghost domain, auras surged one after another, locking tightly onto Yang Chen.
Yang Chen did not respond. A Sky Halberd emerged in his hand. "Truly obsessed to the point of no return. Still, I'm curious. For the sake of your so‑called 'for Humanity,' you want me and the Night General to die? We are Human Champions, shedding blood and offering our heads for Humanity, never once betraying the hopes of our kin. Even so, you still want to kill us?"
"Killing you is too difficult. Unless it's the very last moment, I don't want to use that kind of method either. But Li Yelai must die!" Zhou Tian laughed. "I've already learned that Li Yelai has entered the Great Whirlpool. He has no chance of coming out again... He can indeed be called a Human Hero, but for the sake of the future, we will..."
"Invite him to go to his death!"
"Go to his death?" Yang Chen shook his head. "You're not capable of that. Just like you can't Block me."
"Old friend, I truly do not wish to be your enemy. In the face of the correct future, I must abandon our friendship." Zhou Tian paused, then smiled. "Still, it's good that you weren't too greatly affected. In the end, you did contribute to the future."
"Contribution?"
"That's right. Because of the 'Variable,' those Heroes who should have shone in the starry sky of the future, those names already inscribed in the Book of Destiny... might, due to his interference, fall like Meteors, forever annihilated in the dark! Never to appear again!" Zhou Tian said. "But fortunately, everything still unfolded according to fate's arrangement. In the end, you did have a child."
"Old Yang... your child will be a girl of prodigious Talent, destined to become a Heavenly Pride. Your bloodline will grant her tremendous Talent!"
"And she will not only witness a future that neither you nor I can see, she will also, in that future, encounter another Heavenly Pride just as prodigiously gifted."
"They will give birth to a Hero worthy of being called the Savior!"
"Just for that alone! Just for the birth of that one Hero! Our sacrifices today, our blood and tears, everything we've given up... it's worth it! All of it is worth it! Old Yang! Do you understand? We are all expendable! Anyone can be!"
Zhou Tian grew extremely agitated. "That is... the Savior, the Hero who will tear open Humanity's night of despair!"
Yang Chen said coldly, "So in your eyes, I'm not only a breeding tool, you've even arranged a breeding partner for my daughter who hasn't even been born yet?"
"Breeding? What a ridiculous way to put it!" Zhou Tian shouted in fury. "That is the inevitable continuation of the Hero's bloodline! As the Eighth Generation Champion, this is your duty! The Ninth Generation Champion is the Variable. For the sake of a future free from further errors, he must die! We must Deflect fate back on track!"
"Just how much of my fate have you interfered with?" Yang Chen murmured. His voice was low, but it set the entire ghost domain trembling.
This made Zhou Tian fall silent, then he let out a bitter smile. "Old Yang, these are all necessary sacrifices."
"You received that alarm when Disaster Fog No. 49 appeared. And Shang's appearance... and Floating, that poor girl who died at your hand... I quite liked her, you know—passionate and full of life. I even gossiped about you two. But if she had lived, things might not have gone so smoothly for you and Cang Bai. All of that was a necessary sacrifice..."
"Old Yang, look to the future."
"With our assistance, you could even escape your death tribulation. As long as you abandon your identity as Human Champion and never appear again. Sever that karmic tie and join our camp..."
However, that terrifying killing intent flooded the entire ghost domain.
It was as if a golden giant tore open the prison of night, the great wheel beneath his feet rapidly twisting and collapsing.
"What on earth makes you think you can Block me?" Yang Chen raised the long spear in his hand.
The next moment, all the power in Zhou Tian's body roared, the surging Divinity of an Overlord erupting forth.
Several pitch‑black barriers appeared, only to shatter in an instant.
A roar like an Ancient Dragon exploded from the long spear in Yang Chen's hand, directly piercing through the defenses of three Secret Treasures and smashing heavily into Zhou Tian's chest.
In that instant, under the threat of death, Zhou Tian violently twisted his body, yet his shoulder armor and collarbone were still shattered. His entire body was blasted back in an instant, crashing through several compartments.
Defeated an Overlord with a single move?
This made the walkers skulking in the dark sigh, for it signaled that Zhou Tian's negotiations had utterly failed.
In that case....
At the very moment Zhou Tian was severely wounded and knocked back, an ancient Scepter suddenly descended, landing with pinpoint accuracy on the spear tip of the long spear.
The collision erupted in a thunderous boom, spreading out like a tsunami.
At the same time, long hair suddenly sprouted from Yang Chen's flawless flesh...
