The Prophet, with her disheveled hair and flowing gauze skirt, appeared almost too beautiful under the glow of the volcano.

The seemingly intense light illuminated her entire body, yet it could not dispel the misty, mysterious aura emanating from her.

She walked towards Qin Xin, and before she could speak, she heard him laugh without turning his head and ask, "What do you want me to do for you?"

The Blind Man was taken aback, then stamped his foot and said, "This doesn't seem like you."

"I thought you were going to say, 'You're back'?"

Qin Xin laughed heartily. He turned around, his burly figure like a dark tower in the backlight, casting a large Blind Man in front of him.

The Blind Man did not move an inch; dressed in black gauze, she seemed to blend completely into the darkness, shrouded in the shadow of the tower.

While lighthouses can indeed illuminate the path for those Fire Keeper, many people overlook the fact that the shadow of the tower can also protect those in the shadows from being discovered by external dangers.

"I understand your attempt to find humor in hardship, but this joke isn't funny, I'm sorry." The Blind Man pursed his lips.

"..."

"However, I still have to say that the reason I didn't think that way is because the Fate Weaver seems to have already found the reason for the Cencha [Time]. I came here this time..."

A glint of light flashed in Qin Xin's eyes. He had just been thinking about how to take advantage of the error in [time], but he didn't expect to hear about the progress from the Blind Man.

Cheng Shi... This Fate Weaver seems to be so clever no matter where she is.

Qin Xin glanced silently in the direction of the warehouse and interrupted the Blind Man man, "To make a long story short, I'm not sure if Li Wufang came with me. If he did, he probably has some purpose that I don't know about."

The sooner we find the reason for the Cencha and get you and me back in our rightful place, the more gratified I and Qin Xin, who belongs to you, will be.

So, what should I do?

The Blind Man was not surprised by Qin Xin's response. She did not waste any time and, after explaining that the Abyssal Crystal might be the key Cencha the problem, she immediately pointed him in a direction.

"Cheng Shi, he..."

"He's certainly playing his cards right, avoiding all danger while maximizing all the benefits." Qin Xin laughed heartily. Clearly, Cheng Shi's little scheme couldn't escape his notice, but Cheng Shi's suggestion wasn't a conspiracy; it was an open and aboveboard plan.

Or perhaps it wasn't so much a "scheme" as the Clown simply incorporating other people's perspectives and "considering" things from their point of view, which is why he gave Qin Xin an option she couldn't refuse.

Hearing this sarcastic remark, the Blind Man laughed, "That's him. This Fate Weaver is incredibly Greed."

"Greed is the beginning of digging one's own grave. He can be greedy, but the Passing the Flame cannot. We cannot afford to make a single mistake."

Sigh, never mind, why bother talking to you about this?

"This is simple. Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

As he spoke, the strong warrior suddenly leaped into the air, his figure like a cannonball, crashing down on the outskirts of the stronghold. Then, he swung his arms and ran wildly, transforming into a hurricane and disappearing instantly in the Blind Man's sight.

This was clearly not the agility a warrior should possess, and the Blind Man could tell that the other party seemed to be deliberately showing off these things to him.

What is he trying to express?

Is he telling himself he's not a warrior, but a Hunter? Is he revealing his true identity?

Could he really be the Hunter of Memory Still Like in a Dream?

No, he's not Qin Xin from this timeline, so why would he expose himself?

Huh? He's not exposing himself! He's... exposing the other Qin Xin?

He felt he was suffering too much, so he wanted to make things more difficult for his other selves.

Where does this childlike innocence come from...?

The Blind Man suddenly laughed out loud, but then she couldn't laugh anymore.

The more you lack something, the more you want it. Qin Xin is finding joy in hardship, so his world must be even more bitter than he imagines.

Hopefully, he could find what he was looking for in this Trials. Thinking of this, the Blind Man looked towards the warehouse again and prayed silently.

I also hope that the Fate Weaver will continue to be blessed by Destiny and find the right way home.

It's hard to say whether the Fate Weaver has found his way or not, but Qin Xin has chosen the wrong path.

He thought that by going back the way he came, he could quickly reach the residential area in the city center, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came down from the mine, he would find that something was wrong.

If my Memory serves me right, there should have been a small, scattered residential area at the end of this path, past the hill. But now it's empty and flat, all the houses, residents, pedestrians, and traces of life have vanished.

Could it be that the Cencha of time has begun to affect the Trials again, causing changes to the terrain of the Door of Falling?

Qin Xin frowned. He stopped and cautiously circled half of the suspicious area. Just as he was about to step inside for a closer look, he suddenly sensed a trace of something emanating from the area ahead...

The taste of Annihilation!

Annihilation!?

It's Wu Cun!

Qin Xin's gaze sharpened, and he reacted with lightning speed. He casually thrust his sword at his feet, but this strike did not reveal the opponent's figure. Instead, it summoned the SSS-level [Dreamless Mirror] once again.

At that very instant, a tsunami-like Annihilation wave suddenly surged forth from the area in front of him, sweeping over him in all directions.

The power of [Annihilation] instantly wiped out the entire space, and Qin Xin's figure disappeared without a trace. Even his Discarded Divine Artifact could not withstand such a huge destructive force and shattered on the spot.

But at the very moment the [Dreamless Mirror] shattered, a surge of [Memory] power burst forth from the countless broken pieces of the mirror. The deep, dark blue light refracted and leaped between the different pieces, and soon, the blue light once again intertwined in the center of the space to form a clear figure—a figure clad in heavy armor, burly and strong, with cold eyes.

Qin Xin once said that he was never afraid of the disruption caused by [Annihilation]. No matter which timeline Qin Xin was in, he had enough confidence to say that.

So after the Ember Annihilator's trap was triggered, the Mirror Walker's counterattack... began.

A flash of Crimson Flame light suddenly appeared in Qin Xin's eyes. His pupils were instantly ignited by some power, turning deep and blood red. He moved his eyes rapidly, searching for something in the empty space. Before long, the corners of the Fire Keeper's mouth curled up slightly.

"I've found you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xin vanished from his spot. With a swift strike of his slender longsword, he ripped through the air, creating a whistling sound that shattered the distorted space. Like a bursting transparent balloon, the sword exploded with countless chaotic bursts of Annihilation power.

A figure was sent flying with a "whoosh," but quickly disappeared into the bright night.

"Interesting. If you were a Disciple of Silence, I might not be able to find you, but you are just an Ember Annihilator."

"That's not how you play, Mage."

As he spoke, Qin Xin disappeared again, reappearing behind an aura of Annihilation. His longsword, instead of thrusting, drew out once more, pulling the Ember Annihilator was trying to conceal himself, from the invisible protection of Annihilation.

This is the second time!

Two vicious lashes ripped Wu Cun's robe to shreds, leaving two grotesque, crimson "whip marks" on her flawless back, a shocking sight.

The Ember Annihilator was enraged. Her eyes blazed with fury, and she swung her hand. Qin Xin reacted quickly and dodged the attack of [Annihilation], but the small hill behind him was directly erased by the power of [Annihilation] and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Yes, everyone.

Three people are needed to form a crowd.

The moment the hill disappeared, an embarrassed Investigator, hiding behind the "transparent" hill, watched the two men locked in a fierce fight in front of him, and stiffly twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Um... if I said I was just passing by, would you two believe me?"
