479: Bad fate?

Finally, the spaceship returned to the war zone and landed.

The group dispersed, each going their own way.

Xiao Fan stepped off the spaceship, and suddenly a pair of snow-white, delicate hands gently patted his back.

Lilith stood behind him and said very seriously, "Today, you made the Demon Clan lose face."

"They won't let you off easily."

"If you encounter anything, contact me immediately."

Xiao Fan nodded slightly, turned, and continued to leave.

Lilith, however, frowned and said, "Why are you walking so fast?"

"There's one more thing. Thanks to you today, we were able to obtain the heaven piercing crystal. You are a meritorious minister. Is there anything you want?"

"No," Xiao Fan shook his head.

"Really?"

"Really."

With that, Xiao Fan left.

Lilith looked at his receding figure, and her heart suddenly felt inexplicably mixed emotions.

Because just now, the other party seemed to be deliberately distancing himself from her, unwilling to say another word, and just rushing to leave.

Forget it, why think about these things?

Lilith sighed and turned to return to her own palace.

The black shadow witnessed all of this and let out a sigh like an old father.

"Alas... Is this brother of ours made of iron?"

But this is good. King Her told him to find a way to separate the two and nip this ill-fated relationship in the bud.

Now, he doesn't need to do anything, and our own brother has already voluntarily started to distance himself from Lilith.

Thinking of this, the black shadow looked at Lilith's figure as she walked back to her bloody bedchamber alone, feeling inexplicably a little sad.

Our Young Miss seems a little unhappy, and a little lonely.

Lonely...

The black shadow was startled. Why did he suddenly think of this word?

But why did he feel that this word was so fitting, and should have even become one of the Young Miss's adjectives long ago?

Because if he thought about it carefully...

Lilith had always been alone.

Her teammates like Guiche were respectful to her, but they were just blood servants and rarely seen on normal days.

Most of the time, she Cultivated alone in the blood pool, day after day, year after year.

He had never thought this was strange before.

Because her life had always been like this.

Making the black shadow naturally believe that this was normal.

Yes, it was normal for the former Young Miss.

She had Cultivated alone since childhood, spoken alone, lived alone, never been in love, and had no female best friends. Everyone treated her with the same respect. The only ones who could communicate with her normally were King Her and her mother.

As for Zeus and Apollo, they were merely acquaintances, having contact on the battlefield, but no private interactions off the field.

So...

Before today, she had no concept of loneliness, nor did she know what it felt like to have someone accompany her.

Thinking of this, the black shadow's eyes gradually softened.

He knew that loneliness was inherently the normal state of life.

But whether it was him, or King Her and other top powerhouses, they only knew that loneliness was not a big deal after experiencing prosperity and excitement.

But Lilith was different.

She had not experienced prosperity.

She had always been so lonely.

Until that brother of theirs came to her side, allowing her to feel a trace of human warmth.

Yet before she could properly experience it, he was leaving again, leaving only a memory.

This memory, in turn, told her that she could actually have someone accompany her, could chat with someone every day, and live a life full of laughter and joy.

But today, the other party chose to leave.

Then with whom should I live that life without loneliness?

These were the black shadow's feelings and thoughts, but as an existence whose Mental Energy was already close to 8th Awakening, his perception of others' emotional fluctuations was very precise.

At this moment, Lilith should be feeling this way.

But she was still young and couldn't think of these things.

What she was probably thinking was just a very childish question: Why was he so cold today?

Finally, the black shadow pondered again: Does Lilith really like our brother?

It all began with curiosity.

The day Ting Qiao stepped into Lilith's palace made Lilith curious as to why this guy dared to speak to her like that.

Then, Lilith sympathized with Ting Qiao's past, which then led to some concern.

Next came companionship.

And now, discovering that the other party was truly powerful, there was an unexpected surprise.

Do these things combined count as love?

Finally, the black shadow gave up thinking.

Because he himself had no wife and had only seen others fall in love, so how could he possibly understand?

...

At this moment, Xiao Fan was on his way home, thinking about some things in his mind.

At that time, when he heard Lilith so excitedly defending him on the spaceship, he felt that something bad had already begun to take root and sprout.

So he dared not get too close to Lilith anymore.

Just now, Lilith asked him if there was anything he wanted.

Actually, he did.

He wanted the memories of the Black Ancient God Clan.

That was Kuang Xing's race, a race that revered the Physical Body as king.

But after the Awakening of memories, they actually comprehended the ability to convert Physical Body power into Divine Element.

They were not Innately born with Divine Element, but now they had it.

How astonishing and shocking this was.

So he wanted to know the secret behind it, to see if it could help him construct the third infinite gear.

But he didn't want to rely on Lilith; he still decided to find a way himself.

Before, he relied on others because he was worried that displaying too much strength would draw attention.

Now that he had already displayed his strength, there was no need to rely on others anymore.

Next, Xiao Fan began to recall the Ancestor Martial Arts of the Wild Bone Clan.

He could use it.

But the effect was not as terrifying as he had heard before, which was supposedly able to convert 1 part of water element into 1.2 parts of Magic Element.

It was just a 1:1 ratio.

But Xiao Fan knew the information was correct. The reason he couldn't convert to 1.2 was because he didn't have the Wild Bone Clan Bloodline.

And the most perplexing question for him, whether the law of equivalent exchange was broken, finally had an answer.

Yes, it was broken.

Those super powerful races in the Universe found the key to breaking the law of equivalent exchange.

And this key came from the Divine Temple, which was the ultimate force that the previous Fire of Resistance owner wanted to overthrow, and also the largest and most powerful force in the Universe.

Xiao Fan didn't know why this force could break the laws of the Universe; he couldn't access that level yet.

But he could roughly understand why so many people followed him.

Because if the Divine Temple was not overthrown, the order of the Universe would be disrupted, leading to a great cataclysm.

However, Xiao Fan knew that the truth of the matter was definitely not that simple.

The higher the level of the secret, the more complex it was.

But since he couldn't figure it out now, he would set it aside for the time being and slowly collect these powerful Martial Arts that broke the law of equivalent exchange. Perhaps he could eventually find the answer from them.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan had already returned to his doorstep.

The moment he pushed open the door, a strong smell of blood assailed his nostrils.

Xiao Fan slowly raised his head with a grim expression, only to see thick fresh blood covering the white wall of the living room.

The blood formed a line of bloody text.

"Despicable Demon, leave Your Highness Lilith. This is not a threat, it's an order!"
