Chapter 403 - 403 87 Huojin God_3

403: Chapter 87: Huojin God_3 403: Chapter 87: Huojin God_3 “Nice to meet you, Shiyu Lianyi,” Yidou Nengmai smiled faintly, “As for this person here, you’ve already met me when you first arrived on Zero Island, haven’t you?”

Gongsun Ce thought of the grey hem of the clothing and replied with an embarrassed smile, “That wasn’t exactly formal…”

Yidou Nengmai shook her head with a smile and walked into the main hall of the shrine first.

Sakura Dance remained outside the entrance, seeming to have no intention of going inside.

Gongsun Ce and Shiyu Lianyi exchanged a glance and followed the witch dressed as a deity.

What Gongsun Ce didn’t expect was that inside the shrine it looked like an ancient study room of Zero Island.

The four walls of the old building were made up of bookshelves, and bundles of scrolls were neatly placed in each compartment.

Directly in front of them was a simple wooden table, a blank scroll spread out on top, and a brush, swiftly moving across, swiftly writing lines of ancient Zero Island scripts.

“As one saga concludes.”

The voice came from the person holding the brush.

It was a youth, dressed in a grey kimono with a golden crown.

His figure was slender, his features delicate, and he carried himself with the air of a scholar, yet his eyes were as indifferent as those of a machine.

The young man’s appearance reminded Gongsun Ce of another life.

No matter how he looked at it, the guy’s outfit and appearance…

strongly resembled that of the Void Light Dragon.

“Please, take a seat,” the youth said, looking towards the cushions in front of the wooden table, instructing them with an air of authority, “You have done very well.”

Sweating profusely, Gongsun Ce carefully sat down and said, “Nice to meet you, I am Gongsun Ce.

May I ask if you are…

the Huojin God?”

The youth in the golden crown and grey clothes put down his brush.

“Indeed, that’s what the people of Zero Island call me.

And you know my other name,” the Huojin God narrowed his eyes.

“I am the King of Destiny.”

I knew it!

Gongsun Ce frantically thought to himself, I am a drop of water, I am a drop of water, I am a drop of water, while signaling Shiyu Lianyi with his eyes to pretend to be a rock or foxtail grass.

“You don’t need to be nervous; this is not the end of the road, just a projection of my dissipated power from the Huojin Realm,” the King of Destiny said expressionlessly, “Safer than talking to…

ah, Mr.

Lan.”

Gongsun Ce immediately relaxed, realizing that a being on the same level as Mr.

Lan had no reason to deceive a mere Superpower User like him.

Only then did he have the luxury to ponder the other’s words.

The King of Destiny claimed to be the Huojin God…

“Ah???” Gongsun Ce exclaimed.

Shiyu Lianyi said, perplexed, “I always thought the Huojin God referred to the Void Light Dragon.”

Whether it was an illusion or not, Gongsun Ce felt that the King of Destiny’s gaze on Shiyu Lianyi was softer than when looking at him.

“They are all the same, child.”

As the three of them talked, Yidou Nengmai prepared tea on the side.

The witch served cups of tea to the three, the King of Destiny took a sip of tea and said flatly, “With this, the Huojin Realm has left Zero Island, and I have become the third King to withdraw from the war.”

Gongsun Ce thought to himself, Please don’t say your next sentence is ‘I’m going to slaughter you lot to vent my anger.’

“But it’s alright.

You’ve done very well, stopping the runaway of the Huojin Realm and the madness of Shiyu Genmi.

Ask whatever you want to know; this is your reward.”

Gongsun Ce thought over the other’s words and asked tentatively, “So…

was your Huojin Realm not originally like this?”

“Only the Silent King is a madman yearning for destruction.”

You’re also shading the Silent King.

It seems that all of you have a big issue with the Silent King.

“Once your Void Light Dragon came, Zero Island was nearly destroyed,” Gongsun Ce said, mustering his courage.

“Do you think that in the world I govern, such a catastrophe as you call the giant dragon would occur?”

Understanding the other’s point, Gongsun Ce suddenly realized, “So that’s why you spoke of the Huojin Realm running amok…!”

The King of Destiny put down his teacup and looked at Shiyu Lianyi.

“Your question?”

“Can we hold on a second for the question part, is it limited to one per person?!” Gongsun Ce exclaimed frantically, but the King of Destiny completely ignored his outburst.

Shiyu Lianyi hesitated before speaking, “What Shiyu Genmi was seeking revenge for, that’s what I want to know.”

The King of Destiny nodded.

A bundle of scrolls flew out from the endlessly many bookshelves and unfolded in front of the two.

As the scroll unraveled, the life of the man named Shiyu Genmi played out before their eyes like scenes from a movie.

A painful childhood, the desire to survive, repeatedly failing to achieve his aims…

Studying abroad in the Empire, struggling with illness, rejecting the kindness of others, hastily seeking out local Impermanence Mages of the Empire, to no avail…

Deeply despairing, meeting an unclear collaborator in the Empire, reaching an understanding…

Returning to Zero Island for revenge, the Shiyu plan, the curse of the Huojin God…

and finally, the frenzied struggle when the plan failed.

The Superpower User was momentarily stunned.

He still considered Shiyu Genmi a villain who deserved his fate, but when the man’s entire life was presented before him, when the man’s pain was recreated, he truly felt a hint of pity.

The scene rewound to the night he was cursed; the insane screams of Shiyu Genmi echoed throughout the shrine.

“Why?!

When I was in such agonizing pain, no God ever came to my aid, and yet now, you speak to me of karma?!”

The King of Destiny rolled up the scroll, the Avenger’s voice faded, and only the King’s voice remained in the study.

“I often hear such words.

I always feel very puzzled, unable to understand the thinking of these people.”

The youth who governed fate uttered the ruthless words.

“Why should fate help him?”
