I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

The Purple Star's tone suddenly became grand, as if it were above all living beings, watching over the rise and fall of humanity in the dark, and arbitrarily controlling the fortunes and misfortunes of human dynasties.

That's fate!

The Purple Star Emperor governs the Dipper above, examining the records of calamities and destinies; below, he rules over Fengdu, restraining the hordes of ghosts and demons.

"King of Warriors, look!"

As the zither player raised his head, the stars in the sky instantly changed, reflecting the appearance of another world.

That was a parallel world on the verge of entering World 608.

It is World 606.

Ziwei Star said, "In this neighboring world, many planets will give birth to Fairy Kings, who can also be called 'Star Lords', or 'Star Spirits' in the West."

"The Star Lord is a born transcendent being, a born immortal being."

"By relying on one's own spirit, one can transcend the shackles of fate, even distort the laws of the planet, generate magical power, and spread spiritual energy."

"It is also because of the existence of the Star Officials that the entire solar system is filled with all-encompassing elements, making many places on planets unsuitable for human habitation habitable, and allowing humans to easily move between different stars."

"This is the world of the 'Star Lord'."

Mingxian listened quietly to Ziweixing's story. A gust of wind blew his hair, allowing him to see a scene from a parallel world.

Just as Ziwei Star said, it is a universe where star lords are everywhere, and where human footprints are found on countless stars.

That is exactly what Mingxian meant when he said that humanity already has a parallel world of "the present".

Ziwei Star said directly, "The humans in that world cannot understand the Star Lord's will; they simply regard it as 'fate'."

"Humans like this don't have the courage to leave their cradles!"

"To reach the Star Sea, arrive at the Imperial Star, and crown human civilization, what is needed is the awareness to abandon the 'present'."

"But humans lack this awareness."

"Humans who are engrossed in the present moment are like babies who are unwilling to leave their cradle."

"Such history has no value."

Mingxian remained noncommittal, only asking, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Ziweixing tapped the ground with his staff and said, "The value of human history is not in the present, nor in the future, but in the aspirations of the present."

"That world has no value, because although humanity has ventured into the stars, it will never be able to reach the Imperial Star (me)."

"This world has no value because humanity is only thinking about present suffering and has lost its yearning for the stars."

"So they are not qualified."

"You're not qualified!"

Mingxian couldn't help but frown and asked, "Are you really not a disobedient god?"

"Of course not," Ziwei Star said frankly. "My myth is to determine human fortune and misfortune based on human behavior, and I act in accordance with the myth."

In short, Ziwei Star refused the wishes of the victors of the previous eighty rounds because He bestowed the rewards upon humanity according to His own "mythology".

However, the "dynasties" of this world are truly appalling.

Based on His own "myth," He refused to grant them "happiness."

Mingxian couldn't help but ask, "Are the humans of this world really that despicable in your eyes?"

“It’s not that humans are incompetent,” Ziweixing said with a wry smile. “Humans still have their merits. If they were in the mythological era, I would be willing to grant them some protection… What’s incompetent is the imperial court.”

"You mean a country that has already declined?"

"It is not the state, but the court. To me, the royal family, bureaucrats, priests, parliament, companies... are all the same. I examine the records of calamity based on the behavior of the rulers of civilization."

“To take out one’s anger on the people and mistreat them because of those in power is not the behavior of a ‘sage king’.”

"This is the interaction between heaven and man."

Ziweixing's indifferent words reached his ears.

Mingxian immediately understood.

Ziwei Star is not a disobedient god, but a guest general recruited by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. She originally had the legend of being the "teacher of the Heavenly Emperor", and the Ziwei Emperor can also be considered a Heavenly Emperor.

That's how they got recruited.

Compared to the self-centeredness of the gods, Ziwei Star acts in accordance with the will of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and its own mythology.

The myth of the Purple Star cannot be separated from the "fortune and misfortune of human dynasties" or the "interaction between heaven and man".

To modern people, it is incomprehensible that a ruler's virtue would bring disaster upon the land.

Just like the famous story in "Journey to the West" where "the chicken pecked through the mountain of rice, the dog licked through the mountain of noodles, and the flame of the lamp burned through a foot-long golden lock," it is a manifestation of the interaction between heaven and man.

In the Ming Dynasty version of "Journey to the West," Sun Wukong, embarrassed, covered his face and left. Upon returning to Fengxian County, he first sternly rebuked the county magistrate.

In the modern version of "Journey to the West," Sun Wukong directly perceives the Jade Emperor as petty and narrow-minded.

In short, Ziwei Star adheres to its own mythology, and because the rulers of this world are "trash," it refuses to bestow blessings upon the masses.

Mingxian said slowly, "Although I find you unreasonable and have no intention of acting according to your so-called Knight War rules, there is one thing I agree with."

"what?"

"The integrated corporate conglomerates in this world are really annoying."

Mingxian calmly said, "However, I am just a passerby and have no intention of staying in this world permanently, so I do not plan to take action to eliminate them."

He paused for a moment, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

"So, I'll just scare them a little, take it as a joke."

Ziweixing didn't reply, but calmly stared at Mingxian, a little curious about what kind of joke the Godslayer was playing.

……

The conversation with Ziwei Star has ended.

Mingxian slowly walked through the white mist, finally stepping onto a quiet, deserted street corner. The surrounding noise seemed to freeze at this moment, leaving only the echo of his footsteps, outlining a lonely yet determined trajectory in the emptiness.

The steps taken suddenly froze, as if pulled by invisible threads, and the gaze pierced through the shadows.

"Come out, I've found you."

The echoes, carrying an undeniable authority, instantly filled the small space.

Before he finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared silently at the corner of the alley behind Mingxian, like the most delicate stroke of a brush in the night.

"How perceptive."

She was a young girl, who seemed to be about the same age as Mingxian, or perhaps a little older.

His attire was extremely simple, consisting of ordinary jeans and a loose-fitting cardigan, as if he had casually stepped out of his daily routine.

A hat tilted to one side, obscuring half her face, leaving only her chestnut-brown hair cascading down like a waterfall, each strand shimmering with a soft and mysterious luster, a stark contrast to the ordinary surroundings.

Her existence is like a refreshing stream that inadvertently enters the ordinary world; though unassuming, it possesses an undeniable charm.

What's even more amazing is that this girl possesses a voice that can penetrate the noise and strike the soul.

Whenever she parted her lips slightly, everything around her seemed to lose its color, and all eyes involuntarily focused on her, as if she were the singer chosen by fate.

"I need to talk to you about something."

"Who are you?"

"Me?" The girl blinked her mischievous eyes, a playful smile curving her lips, as warm and bright as the spring sun.

She took two light steps, and a delicate white metal card box quietly appeared in her hand.

It is inlaid with a golden bird-shaped emblem.

Can we talk?

The girl's voice was as melodious as a clear spring, carrying an irresistible gentleness.

Mingxian's heart skipped a beat, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took out his own card box.

"Are you going to fight?"

His eyes shone with anticipation.

Finally, I've been matched with an opponent.

Although they are not evenly matched opponents, let's go online and have some fun first.

The girl paused slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing between her brows, but it quickly transformed into a gentle smile: "If you crave a fight, I will naturally accompany you to the end. However, before that, there is something of utmost importance that I need to discuss with you."

The girl slowly raised her head, her gaze meeting Mingxian's. At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Mingxian was finally able to catch a glimpse of those eyes that had been hidden in the shadow of the hat brim.

Like a deep amethyst, it sparkles with the light of wisdom and innocence, clear and bright, as if it can see into people's hearts.

Such a pair of bright, expressive eyes, paired with the girl's pure and lovely face, magically added a touch of glamour and nobility to her originally simple attire, like a dazzling star shining in the midst of ordinariness, making her unforgettable at first glance.

Mingxian gave a soft "hmm," his gaze lingering on the girl.

"You look somewhat familiar. Have we met before?"

Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed in the girl's eyes. She smiled sweetly and said with a double meaning, "Is this a new technique for flirting? It's just that this method seems a bit outdated."

Upon hearing this, Mingxian seemed to wake up from a dream, clapped her hands, and exclaimed with sudden realization: "Oh, right! Aren't you the runner-up who got beaten up badly in the last 'Wanglong Star Martial Arts Festival'? I remember your title was... Songstress or something."

"It's the War Witch!"

The girl frowned slightly, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

For the first time, a hint of panic flickered through her composure. She sighed softly before introducing herself in a formal tone: "Sylvia Lunaeheim, you can just call me Sylvia."

As the words fell, a flash of inspiration struck Mingxian, and a virtual window appeared out of thin air before his eyes.

The window displays detailed information about Sylvia Lunaeheim.

She was the runner-up in the previous "Wang Longxing Martial Arts Festival" and is also recognized by the public as the second strongest student in the "Star Martial Arts Festival".

She is hailed as the world's most dazzling songstress and witch.

He is both a student and an idol admired by many.

She attends the Kwai Enwei Children's Academy.
