Chapter 6317 The Protagonist of the Times
"Old fortune teller, how many lives have you lived?"
Xiao Chen suppressed many thoughts and asked.
"I can't remember, it's quite a lot."
The old fortune teller shook his head.
"Why are you asking this? Aren't you still living your life?"
"...I'm curious, every time you come back to life, do you have memories of the past?"
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
"No, memories will only be restored under certain circumstances."
The old fortune teller shook his head.
"So when you took me in, did you recover your previous memories?"
Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.
"Hmm? Why do you ask? Is this important?"
The old fortune teller is a little strange.
"It's very important to me. If you have the memory, then you took me in with a strong purpose."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Isn't the relationship between us grandparents not so pure?"
"..."
The old fortune teller was speechless and shook his head.
"No, my memory is incomplete. I only know that there is a mission..."
"Oh, then you are still my grandpa."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"..."
The old fortune teller was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. How could this guy be like a child?
"Oh, I have another question. Do you have many female confidantes in every life?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"...All my fucking sum added together is not as much as yours."
The old fortune teller was angry.
"You said I was the incarnation of lust and desire of the heaven. In comparison, I think you are more like the incarnation of lust and desire!"
"…My fate has come, and nothing can stop it."
Xiao Chen was embarrassed.
"Let's talk about something serious. You said that the rise of the Three Emperors also had your shadow. Do the Three Emperors know about it?"
"They know part of it, but they don't know my true identity."
The old fortune teller shook his head.
"You are the only one in this world who knows my true identity."
"I'm honored."
"...When I first saw Emperor Xuanyuan's clone, he recognized me when I revealed my aura."
The old fortune teller continued.
"Later, I told him some more things."
"..."
Xiao Chen asked a lot of questions again, and the old fortune teller answered all he knew without reservation, no longer being secretive like before.
In his words, I have told you even my biggest secret, there is no need for anything else.
"Old fortune teller, what are you going to do next?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old fortune teller.
"Or, what will Heaven do?"
"I don't know how it does it. It is it and I am me."
The old fortune teller shook his head.
"It no longer has any emotions and will act according to the purest rules... It might kill the greatest villain first and use this to severely damage the demon from outside the domain. It may also have made plans of its own before! After all, my existence is actually one of its plans."
"My goodness, everyone in the world is a gambler, even the way of heaven is the same."
Hearing the old fortune teller's words, Xiao Chen felt a little emotional.
"Who is the chess player and who is the chess piece? Everyone thinks they are the one holding the chess pieces, but in fact they are all chess pieces!"
"Haha, didn't you say before, 'If you join the game, you can win half the battle'? Do you want to try it this time?"
The old fortune teller looked at Xiao Chen and smiled.
"Heaven's way is the most fair, just like that. If you don't know how to adapt, or don't bother to adapt..."
"If you join the game yourself, you can win half the battle against the gods?"
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed.
"Can you win?"
"How can you know if you don't try? Anyway, I think I've already won half a step over heaven."
The old fortune teller smiled.
"I came from the Way of Heaven, but... I broke away from the Way of Heaven and walked out my own path."
"Then try it."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Tell me first, what are you going to do?"
"I originally thought that the most evil creature in the world could not be killed, or that there was no other way to kill it except the way of heaven, but you killed the magic dragon, which gave me some ideas."
The old fortune teller picked up the cigarette in front of Xiao Chen and lit it.
"The Heavenly Dao may want to kill the Great Evil, and I want to fight it, not for myself, but for you."
"for me?"
Xiao Chen was startled.
"Yes, I have experienced reincarnation, either personally taking part or watching from the sidelines... Every era has its protagonist, and you are the protagonist of this era."
The old fortune teller nodded.
"In fact, I feel that the Heavenly Dao also knows this, otherwise why would it allow you to enter the Divine Level in the first place?"
"You mean, it deliberately let me enter the divine realm? Didn't you negotiate with it at that time?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"And when I was building my divine foundation, my life and death were hanging by a thread. I don't think it held back."
"If it doesn't give you a chance to survive, you won't even have this ray of hope, understand?"
The old fortune teller shook his head.
"Of course, this is also in line with the laws of nature. There is only a fine line between life and death."
"..."
"There are some things that I try to do, but may never succeed because I'm not the protagonist... but you can succeed."
The old fortune teller continued.
"Kill the most evil, seize the opportunity, and then... destroy the Holy Heaven Sect, find the gate of the domain, and go outside the domain."
"Going outside the domain?"
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed.
"Facing the demon from outside the domain?"
"Ah."
The old fortune teller nodded.
"Every powerful being who knows the 'truth' has left some backup plan... and you, as the protagonist of this era, may be the one who has these backup plans! By then, you will become a true chess player, and they will become your chess pieces. Not only will you win half the battle against the gods, but you will also destroy the demons from outside the domain!"
"How could their back-up plan end up on me?"
"There is a destiny in the universe... Some things can transcend space and time."
The old fortune teller smiled.
“Perhaps at the other end of the long river of time, someone accidentally threw out a bunch of torches, and it happened that you picked up this torch and ignited the spark that set the prairie ablaze.”
"So mysterious?"
"Yes, it is so mysterious."
"alright."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Then let's see if I can pick up this bunch of torches."
"Will do."
"What now? What do I need to do?"
"Keep getting stronger."
"it is good."
Xiao Chen leaned back in his chair and didn't ask any more questions for a while.
What he knew today was enough for him to digest for a while.
Many things broke his cognition.
Only he has a lot of experience. If an ordinary person came, he would definitely treat the old fortune teller as a mental patient and send him to a mental hospital.
What is the Way of Heaven, what is the long river of time... Unless you are mentally ill, why would you talk about these things!
"Boy, how does it feel to know so many secrets?"
The old fortune teller asked with a smile.
"I always thought you were full of secrets and never told me anything... I'm glad you didn't tell me before."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. If he had known this earlier, he would have collapsed long ago.
"Really? I told you, I'm not telling you because it's for your own good."
The old fortune teller’s smile grew even wider.
