In a world where the boundaries of time blur and eternity is but a fleeting concept, the relentless pursuit of immortality has captivated countless souls. At the center of this eternal struggle is Liang, whose life approaches its final chapter. After six hundred years, he has reached the limits of his potential. Haunted by the limits of his mortality, Liang devises a daring plan to shatter the confines of his destiny and achieve true immortality. But is he genuinely shaping a new destiny, defying the predetermined course of his life? Or is he merely walking a path that fate has already laid out for him? "Which is more ambitious: the heart of a mortal or the will of heaven?" You would probably have to read to find out (^_^)
"Father, what happened with your plans? Why did you allow Liang to enter the secret realm?"
Dong Rui looked at her father suspiciously, trying to decipher what could have made the clan change their opinion about Liang's participation.
On the side, Dong Tian Shu also observed the conversation with interest, eager to know the answer.
Dong Tian Di took a moment to compose himself before responding, "The matter was actually simpler than you think." He turned to Dong Rui, "During the gathering, did you notice anything suspicious between Liang and Chess Paragon?"
Dong Rui's eyes narrowed slightly as she tried to recall every detail of that encounter. After a few breaths, she shook her head, "On the contrary, their interactions seemed ordinary. In fact, that was Liang's first visit to Florai."
"First time?" Dong Tian Di's eyes flickered with surprise, "Then that doesn't make sense."
Suddenly, both Dong Rui and Tian Shu's eyes widened in realization.
