Destiny in Performance

The threads in the sky were still spreading, but Cheng Shi was gradually losing sight of them. He could only vaguely sense a mysterious force of destiny, yet even this faint power was no longer enough to help him discern his direction.

Thus, Blind Man, the wielder of the talent, became his human navigation device, leading him through the town toward the mine outside it.

The town's style around the Door of Falling differed greatly from the civilization on the surface. The living areas were not arranged closely together, and the buildings were not clustered. Instead, they were scattered here and there. Looking at the town's layout, it seemed as if outsiders had arrived, discovered that people lived here, casually chosen spots around the outskirts to settle down, and then gradually gathered more people until new districts formed.

As a result, the entire town covered a very large area, and the two of them walked for quite a while.

Still, Cheng Shi did not remain idle along the way. He observed and inspected his surroundings, occasionally making casual conversation with passersby. He acted as though searching for clues were nothing more than sightseeing. When he was in high spirits, he even plucked two little red ball flowers from the roadside and stuck them into Yadelik's nostrils, claiming it was to beautify the corpse and please his companion.

Whether the corpse had been beautified was another matter, but his companion was not pleased in the slightest.

Watching Cheng Shi being so "lively," Blind Man sighed faintly. She thought that he was far too relaxed, but the more relaxed he was, the more it meant that this Fate Weaver had strayed from her essence.

She was Destiny's Chosen and believed that, under Nothingness's favor, she possessed some ability to see through essences.
