Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Xu Shan was slightly taken aback by the sudden response, talking about his eyes. He was sure that even his father couldn't see his Star Mark. However, this also didn't appear like a coincidence that Qin Ye was suddenly talking about his eyes...as if he knew something.

"Emperor Qin also has a lot of secrets it seems. I wonder if all your siblings were just as talented as you. What a pity that they all mysteriously died when it was time for you to ascend the throne."

Xu Shan didn't like the feeling of talking to the man in front of him. However, he didn't hold back either, even if he was sure that his father was going to scold him for talking like that.

Strangely enough, his father did show a surprised reaction after hearing Xu Shan's words, but he still didn't become angry.

Xu Shan took a subtle glance at his father, who was really as the rumors stated. No matter what, his eyes didn't reveal even a trace of anger when it came to Xu Shan.

Instead, there was a strange emotion that made Xu Shan feel as if he could see a trace of fear towards him in the Emperor's eyes. He wasn't sure if it was his misconception or something.

"Emperor Qin, come. I'll introduce you to others." The Emperor chimed in before telling Xu Shan to go back and enjoy with the rest.

Qin Ye had an amused look on his face as he took a careful glance at Xu Shan, revealing a calm smile.

"It was nice to meet you, young man. I hope we'll have more such meetings in the future."

Emperor Qin directed some words to Xu Shan before he followed Emperor Qin, who took him to introduce to the other important people in the Empire.

Along the way, the two Emperors could be heard talking about the situation in the Land of Chaos. Unfortunately, Xu Shan couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about.

Holding his wine glass in his hands, he walked back to his table. Today, it was a celebration to welcome the Emperor of another Dynasty. There were hundreds of tables in the Royal Hall, with five chairs around each table for people to rest and enjoy the coming feast.

After the Eternal Emperor introduced Qin Ye to the others, the celebration finally began. The servants brought many delicious dishes, serving at each table, starting from the main table where two Emperors and their advisors were sitting.

Amongst all the tables, there was only one where only one person was sitting, leaving the other four nearby chairs empty. Or at least that's what it looked like since no one could see that in the chair right next to him, Xinren was sitting.

After an hour passed away, the celebration was finally over. The two Emperors left the Royal Hall first.

Xu Shan also stood up to leave. However, before he could take a single step, he saw Chen Rouyin stop next to him. She wasn't alone either, as her father was with her this time.

"Prince Shen, I wanted to apologize to you for my daughter's mistake last time." The middle-aged man placed a golden token on the table before Xu Shan. "As a small token of apology, I wanted to offer you my Alchemy Businesses in the Capital. I hope you can forgive my daughter and forget what happened."

Xu Shan had expected the Chen Family to pay the Royal Family to clear their name. However, he hadn't expected that the gift was going to be given to him directly. Moreover, the gift was quite precious as well.

It was even more surprising since he was sure that Chen Rouyin had already told her father what had happened. Despite knowing that, the man could still look at the bigger picture, which was surprising.

"I hope that in the future, she won't go to another person's house in the middle of the night with her guards and try to start a fight. Not everyone is as kind as me." In response, Xu Shan nodded. He picked up the golden token before leaving the Royal Hall.

Chen Rouyin's lips twitched uncontrollably as she watched Xu Shan leave. She couldn't help but curse him in her mind!

'If you are a kind person, then there is no bad person in the world!

****

Xu Shan left the Royal Palace, entering his Carriage, which was already waiting outside. Zi Huang opened the doors for him, letting him walk inside the carriage without putting any effort.

At that moment, Qin Ye stood near the window in the room that was assigned to him. Through the window, he was watching Xu Shan's carriage being driven away.

"Fate... It's so fickle..."  He muttered, tightening his grip around the green book in his right hand.

****

"Tell me who that man was!"

Xu Shan sat in the carriage with Xinren. Now that he wasn't in a public place, he didn't need to control his curiosity. He directly asked.

"I don't know his real identity, but I felt a familiar presence on him. Destiny... It felt like Destiny..." Xinren responded, breaking the silence.

"Destiny?" Xu Shan frowned. He didn't understand what she meant.

"Book of Destiny," Xinren let out, glancing out the window at the Royal Palace in the distance that was still visible. "If what I think is true, then that man knows too much. He has seen the future. We have to find a way to kill him. He's too dangerous."

"Book of Destiny? You mean something like that Book of Desires?" Xu Shan hadn't expected there to be another godly book. However, it also didn't sound crazy. What could be crazier than a book that could grant any desires?

"It is very different from the Book of Desires. Book of Destiny allows a person to look into the future in exchange for sacrificing their lifespans." Xinren snapped her fingers, creating an illusion of a green book floating before them.

"Book of Destiny is much weaker than Book of Desires in what it can do. That's why the cost one has to pay to use it is also low. The farther you look into the future, the more you sacrifice your lifespan until you eventually run out and die."

"I didn't expect it to be in the Celestial Realm. And that too, with that man."

Xu Shan looked at Xinren weirdly. "You're telling me that we need to kill a person who can see the future? Isn't it easier said than done? Though it does explain why he never lost a war."

"Does that mean he also knows about me possessing the Book of Desires?" he frowned, having a bad feeling about this.

Until now, he had already made something like the Celestial Palace his enemy, but now there was also the Qin Dynasty that was even worse.

It was as if a battle had begun between him and Qin Ye… a battle where he needed to defy destiny… a battle between Fate and Desires!
