Illusory, dream-like, roughly sixty years of time.

Charlette finally asked, "Is this Mohe's emotion, or Julia's emotion?"

The appearance of the "Mohe" opposite her finally changed, the jet-black hair and dark eyes turning pure white.

"Come to think of it, you and the Demon King were destined to be so," she said you are lovers, or more like twin siblings, a brother and sister? You do look very similar."

"When she shapes her female appearance, she subconsciously gravitates towards me." Julia simply gave an answer, "In this world, the only ones she cares about are Doro and me, so it is natural for her to resemble me."

Charlette understood Julia's meaning: "You showed me this, let me experience this false yet so sweet and blissful time, but why? Is it your mercy? On the brink of my impending death, you infinitely extended the time, granted me the last happiness, so I could die in warmth and without regrets?"

The reflection of Charlette's figure was in the pure white pupils: "This is a fragment of fate."

"A fragment of... fate?"

"Mohe possesses the symbol of astrology, but she does not truly have the ability to glimpse fate, to manipulate fate—I let you see a particular 'reality' that might occur. As a matter of fact, you once had the opportunity to grasp everything, but you made a disappointing choice. As the Saintess chosen by me, you became arrogant and conceited while guiding the Hero, thinking you could control the Hero, so when you realized the Hero would slip from your control, you tried to destroy him. You chose the wrong destiny, the wrong future. 'I won't let others have what I cannot have'—it was precisely this despicable thought that made you lose the happiness you should have had, and this is not the present I was hoping for."

Charlette was silent for a long time, then she spoke again: "This so-called fragment of fate I experienced shouldn't be what you expected either, right? What you were expecting was... for him to come to the Celestial Realm and save your fate."

"Yes, you are right, I was expecting my Hero to save me, but this is different. Because I can manipulate fate." Those pure white eyes made it impossible to feel her soul; Charlette could not judge the Goddess's emotions through those eyes, "Fate has been consolidated, no matter which path, they all eventually lead to the future where the Hero appears before me."

Fate, consolidated?

Can't understand it...

Charlette felt that if it were Mohe, she might be able to understand what the Goddess was saying, but Charlette couldn't comprehend, why do different choices, different futures, eventually consolidate?

In that so-called fragment of fate she experienced, Doro had already died of old age, how could he possibly come to the Goddess's side?

"Since everything is your arrangement, since you can glimpse and manipulate fate, why don't you change your own death's outcome? You should be able to change it."

"It seems you haven't understood what I mean—fate flows like water in a river, whether you divert the river channel for a moment or scoop up the water in the river—eventually, the water flows downstream, and fate still flows on as usual, no matter how tortuous the process, how resistant. My death's fate was predetermined from the beginning, so no matter what I do in between, the final result will not change. Perhaps, the river of fate was not fixed initially, but when I, when I gained the ability to observe fate, when I first glimpsed fate, my fate was already sealed."

What is she talking about?

Can't understand at all.

Charlette gave up on contemplating on this level: "So, allow me to ask you this question once more... Did you show me a fragment of fate out of your mercy?"

"No, I will let you live."

Julia directly gave this answer: "It's not because you have the qualification to live, but because, at this moment, you are most suitable. My death is a predetermined fact—reviving through fate is extremely difficult, but I've already seen... What you saw was my remaining will, I give you a chance to make a choice, you once made a wrong choice."

The pure white eyes were so indifferent and calm—this was entirely different from the Goddess she had imagined.

"Above me and Mohe, there should still be a realm capable of utterly ruling all domains of this world, or truly mastering the domain of 'time,' you do not have such a talent, but Mohe, or my Hero, someday will reach that realm, so if you accept this power, when they reach that realm, I hope you can become the vessel for my return from time."

Charlette still did not understand.

"If there really is such a realm, then even if I am not your vessel, as long as those two have the willingness, you could also return from time..."

She suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Because they do not love you."

"Exactly so." Julia's expression was unmoved, "So, die here, or accept my power and then make Doro fall in love with you. This is still your task—this is our transaction."

"If Doro truly falls in love with me, then I need not care about the transaction with you at all."

"If you do so, I think he will not love you."
