Chapter 324: Past and Present Life (Part )

"What doubts?"

Zhou Yang was silent after hearing this.

Before, he had imagined the scene of meeting this person behind the scenes countless times, and he had many questions in his mind that he wanted to confirm with him in person.

However, as time passed, especially after he had spent millions of years in the Devouring World and had his own family as well as many relatives, friends, teachers and fellow disciples, he gradually became less eager for some so-called truths.

The black-robed man opposite him did not urge him, but just looked at him quietly, drinking from a white jade wine glass in his hand.

It was not until a long time later that Zhou Yang finally spoke:
"Then please tell me why you spent so much effort to arrange all this, and why did you choose me?"

The mysterious man in black robe nodded and put down the wine glass in his hand temporarily.

"This all started several epochs ago. Oh, epoch is a name we use to calculate time. One epoch corresponds to approximately 600 billion years in this world."

The black-robed man said, "Several epochs ago, my skills had already reached the state of perfection, and Big Brother Hongmeng and the others had been practicing for who knows how many years. During a casual chat, Big Brother Hongmeng suddenly asked in confusion - 'Is the state of the controller the ultimate state?'"

"Brother Hongmeng was the first life born in the entire Hongmeng Space. After he was conceived by the Hongmeng Space, it took him an unknown amount of time to learn how to create the universe and life, and only then did we, the later generations, come into being."

"Even with the 'Hongmeng Golden List' that was born with him, Big Brother Hongmeng can control the fate of almost all life in the Hongmeng space, so he named this realm the 'Hongmeng Controller' realm."

"Logically speaking, when we reach the level of Hongmeng Controller, the fate of almost all life in the entire Hongmeng space is under our control. This is the supreme authority and realm. However, Big Brother Hongmeng does not think so."

"According to his idea, since Hongmeng Space can give birth to an intelligent life like him, then outside of Hongmeng Space, are there other special spaces similar to Hongmeng Space? Or even the so-called Hongmeng Space and other powerful spaces of the same level, are they in a more powerful and vast world?"

As the black-robed man spoke, an expression of endless longing appeared on his face.

For strong people of their level, ordinary things can hardly arouse their interest. Only a wider world and a higher realm can truly attract them!

"In order to verify Big Brother Hongmeng's guess, Big Brother Hongmeng, Second Brother Linmeng and I joined forces to activate the power of the Hongmeng Golden List. Sure enough, when the power of the Hongmeng Golden List was activated to the extreme, we vaguely sensed the existence of another vast world similar to the Hongmeng space!"

The man in black robe looked at Zhou Yang and said with a smile, "Yes, it is the world you were in before."

"The Hongmeng Golden List is a rare item born from the Hongmeng Space. It has the supreme power to control and stabilize the entire Hongmeng Space. With its power, we can even spy on the existence of other 'Hongmeng Spaces' of the same level."

"However, the barriers between different 'Hongmeng Spaces' are extremely powerful, and the more powerful a person is, the more suppression they will receive. Although we can sense the existence of that world, we cannot enter it at all, not even our avatars. Therefore, we have come up with an extremely bold plan!"

As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards Zhou Yang, his eyes clearly filled with a look of great joy, "The moment you returned to this world, I knew that our plan was very close to success!"

"Ok?"

Listening to the words of the man in black robe, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel moved.

"Return to this world?"

He couldn't help but ask out loud. "That's right!"

The black-robed man nodded. "Our original plan was to select a life to be sent to that world for reincarnation. In order not to cause a rebound of the world barrier between the two 'Hongmeng Spaces', this life must be weak enough, so weak that it cannot cause rejection from that world at all."

As he said this, he looked at Zhou Yang and explained with a smile: "I just said that with the help of the power of the Hongmeng Golden List, we controllers can control the fate of almost all life in the entire Hongmeng space. The reason why it is 'almost' is because in every era of the Hongmeng space, there will be some people who even we cannot see through, and we call these people 'people with unpredictable fate'."

"Since fate is unpredictable, we naturally cannot predict his future achievements. Perhaps there will be a person who can rival me and Brother Lin Meng, and you——"

He looked at Zhou Yang, his eyes lit up with a hint of relief, "You were originally one of those 'people with unpredictable fates' in the universe I created, and you were also the reincarnated person we chose to 'smuggle' into that world. Of course, in order to ensure the success of the plan, I used a trace of Xuanhuang Qi to leave a small gift in your soul, and I think you have already felt it."

“So that’s how it is”

As the black-robed man spoke, Zhou Yang gradually understood the origin of his crossing to the Devouring World.

It turns out that all of this is actually controlled by a 'mastermind' who stands at the highest level. What is even more unexpected to him is that the 'Earth' where he lived before traveling to the Devouring World is actually in the universe created by this 'big boss' in front of him, and he is a so-called 'person with unpredictable destiny' in the other's universe.

It sounds a little unbelievable, but it is very reasonable when you think about it carefully.

"wrong!"

Zhou Yang suddenly questioned, "Since you just said that your power cannot enter that world, then what about those stories about people in another world that I read on Earth, about that powerful person? How did you know his fate and turn it into a 'novel' and send it to my Earth?"

According to the other party, if he had lived in the other party's universe before, all of Luo Feng's experiences would never have happened on the Earth where he was!
"Haha, you react really quickly."

The black-robed man smiled when he heard that. "Actually, that was not given to you by us. It was something you thought of yourself."

"I thought of it myself?" Zhou Yang was puzzled.

The man in black robe patiently explained:
"Although our power cannot enter that world, with the help of the Hongmeng Golden List, we can vaguely sense the flow of luck in that world over a period of time. At that time, we sensed that the luck in that world was changing drastically, and it was very likely that a powerful person who could affect the balance of the entire world would appear. It was at that time that we joined forces to send you to the place where the luck in that world was the strongest, hoping that you could grow faster with the help of that kind of environment where the wind and clouds gathered."

"As for the growth experience of the unknown strong man in that world you mentioned, it is actually just a little 'spark' imprinted in your heart by Second Brother Lin Meng with the help of the power of 'The Avenue of Destiny'. Everything you know is actually a kind of feedback from the collision of 'destiny' after you came into contact with the people of that world. Except for you, even we don't know what you know in your heart. Moreover, this kind of 'feedback' is also limited. The longer the span of the 'future' and the more powerful the life level involved, the more limited the time limit of the feedback will be."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"The power of destiny?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but fall into a brief silence after hearing this, "So, that's how it is."

After a long time, he looked up at the black-robed man opposite him and asked solemnly:

"One last question. What is the ultimate purpose of all of you doing this?"
