Chapter 1193 - 1190: God of Time
Fu Xi's wife's surname is quite odd; her surname is Nan, and her name is Nan Ying.
Nan Ying, like Fu Xi, is a teacher.
Since that night after returning from a walk, Nan Ying fell ill, and quite seriously.
Fu Xi, as the existence of the Human King in the world, is very aware of his wife Nan Ying's illness. That night, Nan Ying was frightened to the point that her seven souls left her body.
That night, when Yaoji arrived, Fu Xi had already knocked her out, but why she was still frightened is a matter attributed to Fu Xi.
Yaoji and Fu Xi had a space battle, firing a world-shaking arrow that caused the airflow around the space to change. Nan Ying, being a very ordinary person, although she had passed out, her conscious thought remained.
The fluctuation of the airflow outside the space disturbed Nan Ying's conscious thought, causing the seven souls to fly out of her body.
People have three spirits and seven souls. The seven souls refer to joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, sadness, desire, and laughter. If the seven souls are lost, a person becomes dull and dazed, unable to manage even the most basic aspects of life.
Fu Xi loves his wife dearly. Seeing Nan Ying become like this, he naturally wants to find a way to save her.
As the Human King, Fu Xi has lived in this world for countless years and cannot even remember how old he is now.
Having lived in this world for too long, Fu Xi felt a profound loneliness and solitude within him, feelings that have accompanied him for hundreds of years.
Until he met Nan Ying, Fu Xi's sense of loneliness and solitude was slightly alleviated.
Despite his status as the Human King, Fu Xi couldn't find a way to retrieve Nan Ying's seven souls.
Just then, in his home, Fu Xi had just placed his wife Nan Ying onto the bed. Nan Ying sat on the bed with a silly grin, her hair disheveled like a bird's nest, drool constantly trickling from the corner of her mouth.
The room was very quiet. Fu Xi sat on the sofa, looking at his wife, who was grinning foolishly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Clang...
The wall clock hanging on the wall chimed, and the time pointed to ten in the morning.
Fu Xi glanced at the wall clock, his expression changing.
Although the clock's time pointed to ten in the morning, beside the clock, a faint gray mist was flowing.
This faint gray mist flowed, causing the clock's hands on the wall to tremble slightly and speed up. As the hands accelerated, time seemed to speed up as well.
In the blink of an eye, the hands pointed to one in the afternoon, and outside, the sun that had been in the east just moments ago had suddenly moved to the noon position.
Fu Xi took a deep breath, staring at the faint gray mist, suddenly opening his mouth to say: "Time, you've entangled me for thousands of years, I will never agree to your demands."
From the faint gray mist emerged a voice: "Human King, in this world, everyone is a pawn on the wheel of time. If you let me take over your body, together we can control all things across the boundless Qiankun."
A chill rose on Fu Xi's face as he said coldly: "Time, I've long told you, I will never be your puppet, so give up on this."
Suddenly, the faint gray mist rapidly flowed toward Fu Xi, and the voice emerged again: "Human King, if you agree, I can immediately restore your wife's normalcy, ensuring she stays young forever, living with you for eternity."
Fu Xi chuckled coldly and said: "Time, no matter how alluring your words are, I will never agree. I am the Human King, the master of mankind, and will not let personal desires plunge humanity into irreversible doom."
The voice emitted a sharp laugh and said: "Human King, wake up. No one can escape time. I am the true ruler of this world, the sole god across the universe."
"Time," Fu Xi said with a face full of chill, gravely, "You are not the ruler of this world, nor can you ever control this world, this realm of Qiankun. You are merely a tool."
The voice said: "Human King, I am not, nor will I ever be just a tool. Agree with me, and I will help you fulfill all your desires."
Fu Xi laughed heartily: "Time, stop dreaming. It's so pathetic that, although you exist in the world, you have no form whatsoever."
The voice emitted a scream, seemingly very angry, and said: "Human King, you will regret this. I swear if you don't agree, you'll regret it."
Fu Xi smiled coldly and said: "Time, thousands of years have passed. Do I look like someone who regrets? Go away."
The faint gray mist disappeared in a flash, and the clock hands returned to their ten o'clock position. Outside, sunlight swiftly returned to the east.
Fu Xi gazed out the window, murmuring to himself, "Time, fate, another catastrophe is about to begin in this world."
...
Yaoji sat at a table in the cafe, with a fragrant cup of coffee and a laptop placed before her.
In this world, Yaoji has another identity as well, the writer Xia Meng.
She lifted the coffee in front of her and took a gentle sip. Watching the words continually appear on the computer screen, a slight smile emerged on her face.
Upon closer examination, the text was unexpectedly about Yang Zi, detailing content approximately like this.
Yang Zi, CEO of the Liu Group, was supposed to die before turning thirty-three, but she accepted fate's arrangement and became the nine hundred thirty-fourth Guardian of Destiny.
By becoming a Guardian of Destiny, Yang Zi altered her own fate.
The smile on Yaoji's face clearly showed her satisfaction with Yang Zi's performance. As the Guardian of Destiny, she could freely rewrite an ordinary person's fate.
No one can escape the arrangements of destiny; everyone should be a slave to destiny. Yet, there are a few people in this world who can not only evade its control but also rewrite their own destinies.
The Human King Fu Xi and Human Mother Nuwa are among them.
Thinking of these two, a chill instantly clouded Yaoji's face.
"Human King, you ungrateful creature, I must have you back by my side," Yaoji called out from the depths of her heart.
Suddenly, time seemed to stop. Everyone sitting in the cafe became motionless.
Yaoji, noticing this, glanced around with flowing eyes just as a faint gray wisp drifted over.
Upon seeing the faint gray wisp, Yaoji's delicate face immediately changed dramatically.
A voice emerged from the gray wisp, "Yaoji, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
"Time, weren't you sealed by Pangu on Kunlun Mountain? How are you appearing here?" Yaoji gazed at the gray wisp, her face showing surprise, and asked.
In Yaoji's impression, nothing has ever escaped Pangu's Seal.
The voice within the gray wisp replied, "Indeed, I was sealed by Pangu on Kunlun Mountain, but some unknown fellows shattered Pangu's Seal, and naturally, I came out."
At this moment, Yaoji's face returned to its former calmness, "Time, I have no quarrel with you. Why have you sought me out?"
The voice within the gray wisp said, "Yaoji, you and I are gods capable of controlling the fate of all things in this world. I wish to collaborate with you."
A smile surfaced on Yaoji's face as she said lightly, "Time, you walk your lonely path, and I tread my bright road. We will never collaborate, so abandon that thought."
The voice within the gray wisp let out a laugh, "Yaoji, as long as you agree to collaborate with me, I guarantee the Human King will return to your side."
Yaoji smiled slightly, saying, "I naturally have ways to bring the Human King back to my side; no need for your concern. Sorry, I have other matters to attend to, please leave."
Refused by Yaoji, the faint gray wisp quickly swirled around her body twice and then the voice followed, "Yaoji, you must reconsider. The Human King can escape destiny's control, but he cannot evade my control of time. If we work together, Qiankun will be ours."
All things in the world are controlled by fate and time. As the Guardian of Destiny, if Yaoji were to collaborate with time, truly no one could escape these two forces.
Yaoji virtually disdained collaborating with time, chuckling coldly, "Time, without you, I can still control the fate of all things as Yaoji. Why would I need to work with you?"
The voice within the gray wisp laughed heartily, "Yaoji, you truly know inside that the Human King and Human Mother are the only ones who can defeat fate and time because they were formed from Pangu's essence blood. Only by collaborating with me might you escape Pangu's Seal."
These words stirred Yaoji's heart. Indeed, over these years, she had schemed tirelessly to divide the Human King and Human Mother, creating a rift between them. Because of the fear that if they joined forces one day and reinstated Pangu's Seal, her fate alongside time would be sealed within completely.
"Time, I'll consider your suggestion, but for now, there's no need for us to collaborate," Yaoji confided, though she felt moved, she was not an ordinary person to agree so easily.
The voice within the gray wisp replied, "Alright, Yaoji, I'll await your response. Hope you seriously consider this. If we work together, time will willingly accept destiny's arrangement."
After this voice finished speaking, the gray wisp suddenly vanished. In the café, everyone regained their movements as if nothing had happened before.
