Xing Tie: After the simulation, they all wanted to lock me up in a dark room.

"Watch out..." Xia Die stepped in front of Chen Yue.

"One slash." Hei E directly summoned the Dawn-Invading Sword, pointing it at Xiao Die, and a phantom appeared.

Chen Yue felt the threat of death from that sword. She pushed Xia Die away with the back of her sword and then took the blow. The sword was powerful and heavy, and Chen Yue felt her body being torn apart.

"Double cut".

Another sword strike sent Chen Yue staggering back several steps. Although he managed to block it, cracks began to appear on the blade of his sword.

"Your Mightiness!"

"Little Moon!"

When the two saw Chen Yue in this state, they wanted to go and help her, but they were scolded.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Three cuts...that's enough." Hei E directly raised Qin Chen.

Chen Yue had already rushed over at that moment.

The swords in Qin Chen's and Chen Yue's hands clashed together, making a series of clicking sounds.

"Damn it, my sword is no match for his."

Blackie clearly noticed this and was afraid of accidentally killing the hidden NPC he had triggered and the guaranteed kill, so he quickly went easy on him and deliberately revealed a weakness.

Chen Yue hurriedly distanced himself and returned to Xia Die's side, his sword breaking instantly.

At this moment, Blackie's mentality is like that of a 6IV Pokémon you finally managed to get: afraid of being defeated and hesitant to use powerful moves.

The oppressive feeling emanating from Black Evil is no less than that of the Titan of Strife encountered a few days ago. Black Evil is also extremely excited, even more so than with countless encounters with White Evil. In his excitement, he immediately drew his ritual sword and used the power of the Titan of Time to examine your memories. However, Xia Die blocked your way, and Black Evil directly accessed Xia Die's recent memories in Ohma.

"A tragic fate... a pair of lovebirds?"

「… … ?」

「… … ?」

"Xia Die, could it be that he's even read our novel?" When Chen Yue heard Hei Er say that name, she could hardly believe her ears.

Black E's body was trembling uncontrollably. Even though he had reincarnated tens of thousands of times and his mind was already numb, he was still trembling with anger because of this thing.

A million enemies!!!

Brother, I've been through thick and thin with you, you're my brother who's been through thick and thin with me!!!

I turned into a woman, and you bastard actually fell for me?! I'll kill you!!

Hei'e felt that if Wan Di and she became women, it probably wouldn't have much of an impact. Thinking of this, Hei'e's Qin Chen sword emitted a faint blue light.

But soon, just as he bypassed Xia Die to examine Chen Yue's memories, a strange yet familiar name appeared in his mind—Ka Yue Slana.

Upon hearing this name and seeing Bai E and Xi Lian in Chen Yue's memories, he realized that he had misunderstood.

Wan Di, I knew you were my good brother, I trust you the most.

Wan Di: ?

Just as Hei'er was stunned, Shi Xia launched a sneak attack from behind.

Blackie: No martial ethics!

Blackie was sent flying and clutched his chest.

"You failed to kill me with one blow. As expected, you are no ordinary person."

The battle ended with Tian opening the Gate to the Hundred Realms and teleporting Hei'e away.

[The Black Calamity, having been teleported away, rushed the process to ensure Xi Lian could smoothly obtain the power of the Titan of Time, and destroyed the Titan of Time ahead of schedule.]

[While Tibo and her companions were trying to regain their memories, they encountered Black Calamity, and in the end, Tian opened the Gate of a Hundred Worlds and died in battle.]

Regarding the inheritance of the Titan of Time, the suitable candidates are you and Xi Lian. You're afraid of any unforeseen circumstances, especially since Bai E almost caused my death, so you plan to keep it from Xi Lian. However, Xi Lian is your closest person; how could she not understand you? She directly forced you to take the lead and inherit the power of the Titan of Time.

[But Xi Lian didn't appear for three whole days, and you were worried about her, so you stayed at the trial entrance for three days and three nights without closing your eyes to sleep. Bai E wanted to take your place for a while, but you refused. You don't know how long you waited, but you fell asleep without realizing it.]

"Little sleepyhead, you're awake."

Hearing Xi Lian's voice, Chen Yue opened his eyes and saw those sky-blue eyes. Xi Lian was holding him at that moment.

Am I dreaming?

Upon seeing that it was Xi Lian, Chen Yue excitedly hugged her, her voice choked with sobs as she murmured to herself, "I missed you so much, I was so afraid something had happened to you..."

"It's not a dream~ I succeeded." Xi Lian gently stroked Chen Yue's face. "And little Yue, I didn't expect you to be so worried about me. I heard you say that I actually kept it from you and would never care about me again."

"How did you know?" Chen Yue's eyes widened.

"I knew Little Yue would say that." Xi Lian's smile deepened.

"Xi Lian, can't you be serious for once?! Logically, after you got out, you should have apologized to me and tried your best to comfort me, not made fun of me like this!"

"So, Little Yue wanted to apologize and comfort me. I heard what Little Yue said: 'After I succeed, no matter how much I apologize and comfort you, you won't forgive me.'"

"How did you know..." Chen Yue realized she'd been tricked again. "Xi Lian, you tricked me again!"

"It's because Little Yue is so fond of saying one thing and meaning another; people can guess it with just a few words." Xi Lian winked at Chen Yue.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. I was wrong. I apologize to you. I will never make decisions on my own and secretly keep them from Xiao Ayue again. Please be kind and forgive me this once~" Xi Lian apologized to Chen Yue while speaking in a coquettish tone.

Even if you try to be cute, I won't forgive you. Who told you to keep it from me?

Chen Yue: But it's good that you're back.

"Little Yue, my little savior, stop saying one thing and meaning another!"

"Who's being hypocritical! And stop adding 'little' before 'savior' all the time! How am I little?!"

Bai E, standing to the side, awkwardly scratched his head; it seemed the two of them hadn't noticed him.

Meanwhile, Aglaia, standing beside Bai'er, sensed the emotions transmitted through the threads and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. "Youth is truly wonderful."

"I didn't expect that Ms. Aglaia, at her age, would be interested in the relationship between Ayue and Xilian," Bai E said with a smile.

Just as he finished speaking, Bai E felt a sudden chill run down his spine and saw Aglaia's gloomy face.

Although Aglaia could no longer see people, Bai'er sensed a murderous aura in her eyes.

"Ms. Aglaia, why do you look like that? Could it be that an enemy has invaded?" Bai E looked around warily.

Aglaia, however, asked Baier a question that seemed to baffle Louis XVI.

"Bai'er, which foot did you step into here with?"

Upon hearing this, Bai'er was completely unaware that something was amiss, assuming that Aglaia must have her reasons for doing so.

"Left foot."

Subsequently, Bai'er was punished by being forced to sweep the streets for stepping into the vortex of creation with his left foot.

Bai E: Hello everyone, my name is Bai E. I was swept away on the street because my left foot stepped into the center of the cosmic vortex. This time I will definitely not make the same mistake again.

"Bai'er, which foot did you step into here with?"

"Right foot!"

Subsequently, Bai'er was punished by being forced to sweep the streets for the crime of stepping into the vortex of creation with his right foot.

Bai E: No, why should I?!
