The Stars Beyond

Wang Xuan remained calm and steady. He was without any anxiety or fear. Having weathered many storms, he had no reason to fear these few individuals.

He spoke directly, "I want to prolong the existence of the transcendent, to let the myths continue. Can you change this fate for me? Can you fulfill my vision?"

"Your request is too high. We intend to change your fate, not alter the normal course of this universe. Myths can occasionally appear, but the transcendent cannot be normalized," replied the silver-haired man which surprised Wang Xuan. The other party seemed to have some insight into matters.

"Explain it in detail," Wang Xuan requested.

"There’s no need. Discussing the impossible is pointless. Do you want to change your fate? For instance, your life's height, your life's thickness, your historical status, we can rewrite them all for you," a beautiful woman spoke up. She had purple hair as smooth as silk and a fair face with a confident demeanor. Her tone wasn't modest at all. Changing one's fate could help one reach new heights in life and alter historical status. This promise was somewhat arrogant.

"How do you plan to do it?" Wang Xuan asked calmly, showing no interest. Why would he need others to change his fate to achieve these things? Moreover, he had a rough idea of who these people were. Although they appeared different, their essence was the same!

"Of course, we will replace your spirit and fulfill your wishes for you," the purple-haired girl said with a gentle smile, yet there was also a compelling aura about her.

It was only at this moment that Qing Mu seemed to sense something. He looked around, but still found nothing.

"Evil spirit ate my spirit, replacing me to achieve my dreams. It's quite ridiculous. First, you kill me, then fulfill my wishes. Is this what you call changing fate?" Wang Xuan questioned.

"Very few can perceive us, you are a rare one. But you have misunderstood us," the purple-haired woman shook her head.

The silver-haired man smiled and said, "We devour, no, we collect your spirit, storing it away. Our spirits will take over your body, helping you achieve your dreams and fulfill your wishes. Of course, anything too extreme is not allowed. After reaching the heights and thicknesses of your life, when we are tired, we will naturally return your body to you and let you go back. With our help, your life is destined to be colorful. Perhaps, you may become a celebrity and leave a significant mark in history by accident."

Wang Xuan remarked, "Indeed, it's you. Different evil spirits with different behaviors and aspirations. I've heard of evil spirits devouring the spirits of Earth Immortals in ancient times, taking their place and entering the Immortal Realm. I wonder what happened to them later on."

At this moment, he thought of many things. The evil spirits' behavior was different and it left behind many mysteries.

The silver-haired youth said, "That's one of us, an outlier, a complete deviant. Perhaps, it wasn't even one of us at all, but rather other terrifying creatures causing illusions for you. But, what a game he played! Starting from the mortal realm, he took over an Earth Immortal's flesh and blood. He then continued his life, entered the Immortal Realm, and danced with even more powerful mythical beings. Just thinking about it is intriguing. After hearing about it, I felt like fully deviating too. I feel like completely taking over, becoming immersed in it."

Wang Xuan remained indifferent, deeply repulsed by their actions. He said, "Your strength is indeed not weak, but manipulating others' experiences, altering their life trajectories, isn't that excessive? You treat it as child's play. It's indeed like tampering with others' destinies and deciding it all by yourself. What is this, a game in the mortal world? Or do you see it as a form of cultivation to gain certain experiences?"

Although the purple-haired girl was beautiful, her indifferent smile was not welcomed by Wang Xuan. She spoke, "However you interpret it is fine. Whose life isn't a game, an experience? Why take it so seriously? We can give you many things, the true peaks of life."

The other people, or rather the evil spirits, also spoke up. "You may not know, but the historical figures you admire, even the famous mythical powerhouses, may have had our predecessors take over their bodies to achieve their dreams, and then returned their identities to them in the end."

"Yeah, I reckon some mythical techniques were created by our predecessors. Of course, only a few renowned techniques might have been left by our ancestors. They probably got too immersed and were unwilling to return. They poured their hearts and souls into leaving behind masterpieces before departing, thus fulfilling the host's destiny." another said.

Could it be like this? In history, some prominent figures, some famous mythical powerhouses, could all be related to evil spirits?

Even Wang Xuan was surprised at this point.

Could these evil spirits really cause such major events?!

He even began to doubt whether there were evil spirits who hadn't returned the identity to the host among the current powerhouses.

Were there such complete deviants?

Thinking of this, he asked directly if there were such complete deviant evil spirits.

The purple-haired woman said, "I don't know, perhaps there might be one or two, like the one you mentioned who devoured an Earth Immortal's spirit, then took his place to ascend to the Immortal Realm. It might still be stuck in the midst of it and had never left."

"I don't need you to change my fate!" said Wang Xuan, asserting his attitude. He had a desire to explore these unexpected visitors, but right now, he came to pick someone up and didn't want to get too entangled or distracted.

"Are you really not considering it? We are very powerful, enough to fulfill ninety percent of your life's wishes," the silver-haired man spoke.

"How strong can you be?" Wang Xuan asked calmly, not really caring. Under the same universe, if evil spirits could defy the heavens and if they still had unparalleled strength, it could perhaps provide him with a new train of thought.

"That's how strong!" the silver-haired youth spoke. His body emitted silver ripples, it then expanded towards Wang Xuan and was intending to envelop him. At that moment, the spaceship became unstable, the screen flickered, and various delicate instruments were impacted. It was experiencing strong interference. Qing Mu was startled. He felt like he was seeing a ghost!

"Don't ruin my spaceship!" Wang Xuan said sternly through mental communication. His body emitted light, blocking the silver ripples and preventing the spread of super energy from eroding the spaceship. He was ready to unleash his full power at any moment if the other side really intended to destroy the spaceship.

"Sorry, we didn't expect your spaceship to be so weak, lagging behind by many years. Come to our spaceship," the silver-haired man invited. In a flash, several figures disappeared.

"Qing Mu, open the hatch. I'm going to visit the other side," Wang Xuan said. Qing Mu was astonished. He immediately realized that Wang Xuan had made contact with the people on the other side when he thought of the strange disturbance just now. His expression became solemn, but he didn't say much. He followed Wang Xuan's instructions and opened a secure hatch.

With a whoosh, a silhouette streaked through space. Wang Xuan departed and was entering into the mysterious spaceship on the other side that had already opened its portal.

After he entered, the beautiful purple-haired woman was the first to make a move. Surrounded by purple aura, she reached out to grab Wang Xuan, as if using mythical techniques, yet it seemed merely superficial. However, her spiritual power was incredibly strong, granting her formidable abilities. Then, Wang Xuan grabbed her snow-white wrist, blocking her attack and immediately colliding with her purple aura. Amidst the terrifying transcendent radiance, the two clashed fiercely. They were sparking like the collision of different types of energy substances. It was boiling, with an umbrella-shaped energy cloud billowing up.

Eventually, the purple-haired woman staggered back. She wore an incredulous expression and said, "You managed to lock onto my figure and suppress me."

The others were also astonished. For them, few beings could perceive them, let alone lock onto and injure them. Wang Xuan remained silent.

So what?

Old Zhang once wielded a bronze mirror near the Three Evil Flame, banging an old astronaut. That was an Evil Spirit Queen.

The purple-haired woman murmured, "Indeed, this vast universe is returning to normal and correcting its trajectory. Myths are fading away, and consequently, we are weakening too. If this continues, we will all die here and never return home and we’ll decay."

"What are your identities?" Wang Xuan asked.

"We are all researchers," the silver-haired man replied.

Damn researchers!

Wang Xuan glanced at them.

Where did these researchers come from?

"I want to know about your world and your motives," Wang Xuan asked solemnly. According to rumors, it was difficult to communicate with and converse with spirits, but these people seemed somewhat unusual today, and he wanted to explore further.
