Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: The Mystery of Fate

Xiao Chen stood in the ruins of the Burning Bone Forest, the cold and emotionless words of Yan Yao echoing in his ears: "You don't understand, the resurrection of the Long Night God is not just about changing fate, it concerns the very survival of the world."

These words struck Xiao Chen's heart like a heavy hammer. He gripped the Star Soul Sword tightly, the cold sensation of the hilt offering some solace to his turbulent thoughts, but the deep question in his heart still remained unresolved.

"Long Night God… what kind of existence is he?" Xiao Chen muttered softly, his gaze becoming more determined. "Why would Yan Yao stand with Mo Wuyang? What secret are they hiding?"

Xiao Chen did not pursue Mo Wuyang and Yan Yao, but instead chose to stand still, calming his mind to think. After the confrontation with Mo Wuyang, he realized that the enemy before him was far more complex than just an evil force. The Long Night Palace and the Star Soul heritage concealed an even greater and deeper mystery. Perhaps solving this mystery was the key to uncovering the truth behind his parents' deaths.

"Xiao Chen!"

Suddenly, a crisp shout broke his reverie. He turned around to see Chu Yuan, covered in blood, running towards him.

"Are you okay?" Chu Yuan asked anxiously. "That Mo Wuyang is no simple opponent. If we were even a moment too late, you'd be in danger."

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said softly, "Thank you for your help, Chu Yuan. But from now on, what we face may not just be Mo Wuyang."

Chu Yuan furrowed his brow. "What do you mean?"

Xiao Chen's gaze grew distant, his eyes gleaming with a determined light. "Yan Yao… she and Mo Wuyang aren't simply enemies. From her eyes, I saw a certain resolve, as if she knows more truth than we do. There may be other plans at work."

Chu Yuan froze for a moment. "She? Yan Yao… but she was once your friend!"

"Yes." Xiao Chen sighed, recalling the time he spent with Yan Yao. They had grown up together in the Xiao family, experiencing countless storms side by side. But now, Yan Yao stood on the opposite side. What was the reason behind this?

"What do we do now?" Chu Yuan asked, sensing the urgency in the air.

"We need to find the Long Night Palace and uncover the truth," Xiao Chen said in a low voice, his tone resolute. "Only by understanding the true purpose of the Long Night Palace can I find the murderer of my parents and the way to break free from the chains of fate."

Chu Yuan nodded. "Alright, let's act quickly. But remember, we've faced more enemies than just Mo Wuyang and Yan Yao—there are countless forces lurking in the shadows."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, his gaze unwavering. "I understand."

As the sky darkened, the two of them hurried forward, finally reaching the edge of the Long Night Palace. The area was shrouded in dense mist, and an ancient, eerie atmosphere permeated the air, as if every inch of the land concealed an unspeakable danger.

"This is the Long Night Palace?" Chu Yuan asked quietly, his brow furrowed.

"Yes." Xiao Chen inhaled deeply, lifting his gaze to the towering black palace in the distance. "The Long Night Palace has existed for thousands of years. Its master is the so-called 'Long Night God.'"

Chu Yuan's face changed slightly. "Long Night God… what kind of existence is he?"

Xiao Chen's gaze deepened. "He is an ancient deity. It is said that he once possessed the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. Thousands of years ago, the Long Night God was sealed within the Star Soul Body, and the Long Night Palace has acted as the guardian of that seal. Now, the Long Night Palace aims to resurrect the Long Night God and use his power to dominate the world once more."

"That sounds like a crazy plan," Chu Yuan said, shaking his head. "Can you confirm that they can really do it?"

Xiao Chen remained silent for a moment, his eyes gradually becoming cold. "I'm not sure. But I know that whether they can resurrect the Long Night God or not, I cannot allow them to continue with their plan."

"So, what do we do now?" Chu Yuan asked.

"We're going in to uncover the true purpose of the Long Night Palace and stop them from resurrecting the Long Night God," Xiao Chen said, his voice filled with determination.

The two of them carefully approached the Long Night Palace, avoiding the patrols and silently sneaking into the interior. Inside, the palace was ancient and solemn, with unfamiliar runes etched into the walls, emitting a mysterious glow. Xiao Chen could feel an oppressive aura in the air, as if some powerful force was sleeping within.

"We need to be cautious," Xiao Chen whispered. "The Long Night Palace's defenses are not simple. Finding the location of the Long Night God's seal will likely come at a great cost."

Chu Yuan nodded, gripping his blood-red Sun Blade. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

The two of them ventured deeper into the palace and eventually arrived at a vast circular hall. In the center of the hall stood an ancient altar, covered in runes as if awaiting the start of some ritual. Around the altar, dozens of Long Night Palace members, dressed in black robes, stood quietly, observing the altar.

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed as he stared at the altar. "This is… the seal!"

He knew that the seal of the Long Night God was here, and the ritual to resurrect him was likely about to begin.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the center of the altar—Yan Yao.

"Yan Yao!" Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and whispered, "She's an inside ally of the Long Night Palace!"

Chu Yuan's eyes flashed with confusion. "How could she be here?"

Xiao Chen's feelings were complicated. He knew that Yan Yao must have known about the Long Night Palace's plan to resurrect the Long Night God, but why had she chosen to stand on the opposing side? What secret was she hiding?

Yan Yao's gaze swept the area, as if sensing something unusual in the air. She suddenly turned her head and coldly looked in the direction of Xiao Chen and Chu Yuan.

"You've finally arrived," Yan Yao's voice echoed through the air, calm and devoid of any emotion. "Xiao Chen, do you want to know the truth?"

Xiao Chen's heart stirred, his gaze fixed on her. "Why are you helping the Long Night Palace? Why are you standing with Mo Wuyang?"

A complex light flashed in Yan Yao's eyes as she sighed slightly. "I'm not standing with Mo Wuyang. Everything I've done is just to help you see the true fate. Can you break all of this? Can you break the fate that your parents left behind?"

Xiao Chen's heart sank. He realized that Yan Yao's words about "fate" were far more complex than he had imagined. And this entire game was much larger than he had thought.
