Black Myth: You and I are both destined

Lightning flashed across the sky, and wherever the dawn passed, scorched earth spread.

The stick in his hand was like a broom for sweeping away garbage. With a casual wave of it, the ghosts turned into ashes, never to be reborn. The bull monsters wailed as they were ruthlessly injured by him and abandoned on the side of the road.

Tianming was like an unstoppable storm. Many monsters were blown away by his power before they even had a chance to see his face.

He walked across the stone platform leading up the mountain, bypassed the winding mountain road, and after passing the second wooden suspension bridge, an old crooked tree came into view.

The surrounding trees have long since turned to ashes, but this one, despite being withered, still stands stubbornly.

"How can this tree... survive in such an environment?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Tianming's eyes, but then he regained his composure.

He swept the dead tree with his stick, and it fell down, and the monsters behind the tree turned into ashes.

"When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. The fish raises a fish tree!"

He walked towards the broken old tree with a sharp gaze.

"This is obviously the Bull Demon King's territory, why are there so many other monsters?"

His eyes fell on a local shrine next to him, on which were engraved three large characters: "Ashes Platform".

Further ahead is an open flat land. On the left is a bottomless cliff, and on the right is an ancient courtyard wall, winding forward, as if hiding endless secrets.

An ominous premonition arose in Tianming's heart, and modern memories were awakened at this moment.

"Isn't this the perfect place to place a leader to guard the pass?"

Sure enough, he concentrated his divine power and sensed the powerful aura behind the wall.

Tianming walked slowly to the center of the open space without any hurry and took out the flying dragon staff.

Shen Zhen was worthy of his name. With a slight wave of his hand, he grew longer like a living thing and lifted him up high, until he was four or five times as high as the courtyard wall.

Tianming stood on a high place, overlooking this mysterious land, thinking to himself: "I seem to have seen this demon king somewhere before."

The monster's figure was as black as ink and shaped like a stone. Although it was in human form, it was two people tall and four people strong. It had an ugly appearance and was holding a white skull in its hands.

Tianming felt a tremendous force in him. That force was like a storm in the dark night. It seemed powerful, but it seemed to be mired in chaos.

The monster clearly saw Tianming use the stick to stand up and discovered him, but he still hid behind the wall and observed secretly. He was so stupid that it made people feel sad.

"Why is this monster so stupid?" Tianming whispered to himself.

The monster seemed to have heard Tianming's words. It suddenly flipped over from behind the wall and roared at Tianming.

His roar was like thunder, shaking the air around him.

Tianming grinned, and a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

"Blocking the road!"

He shouted loudly, raised his stick and chopped down. Thunder and lightning gathered into a dragon, hovering on the stick and chopped the monster directly.

With a loud bang, the monster was blown away by the huge force and flipped four or five times before stopping. If Tianming had not shown mercy, this blow would have been enough to take his life.

Tianming thought for a moment, and a hint of decision flashed through his mind.

"I don't know what happened here, why not use this stupid monster to search the soul and see what's going on."

He held down the monster who was trying to get up with one stick, and used his other hand to extract his memory directly from him.

"You were the one who blocked my way first. If you get hurt later, it's your own fault!"

Tianming's voice was as cold as ice, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

The monster was extremely frightened, but was soon replaced by anger.

He struggled, protecting the skeleton with one hand and trying to break free from Tianming's control with the other hand, but Tianming's strength was like a mountain, preventing him from moving.

Tianming moved his fingers slightly, and a ray of light shot out from the monster's forehead and merged into Tianming's eyes.

He saw the monster's memory, which was a sad past...

In the Rock Valley of Huangfeng Ridge, a girl in tattered clothes broke into the cave of the stone spirit.

She was covered in scars, with fear and exhaustion in her eyes.

She passed by the stone spirit's cave and saw some natural treasures inside, so she hid in and planned to live there.

When the fairy came back, he saw someone in the cave and wanted to drive her out, but when he saw that she looked so pitiful, he let her rest for a while.

The goblin was called Shifu, and he didn't like getting along with people. Unexpectedly, the girl cooked the wild fruits and game in the cave into a table of delicious dishes. Shifu was greedy, so he asked the girl to cook for him.

After that, Shi's father was responsible for bringing back food every day, and the girl was responsible for cooking. The man and the demon got along very well, and two years passed like this.

Once, the girl went out to wash clothes and met a woodcutter from the same village by the river. When she came back, she couldn't help crying.

It turned out that she had been abused by her parents for many years, and they wanted to marry her to a fool in exchange for a dowry, so she ran away from home.

Now, she was very afraid of being caught and was terrified.

Sure enough, at noon the next day, the villagers all came to the valley.

Her parents were afraid of the monster, so they begged for mercy at the entrance of the cave.

When the girl refused to obey, they started swearing at her.

Only when Shifu rushed out of the cave and shouted loudly did they quickly hide. When Shifu returned to the cave, they ran out again and continued to insult him.

Shi's father simply sat at the entrance of the cave to guard it, and the girl's parents made harsh remarks.

If the demon does not return the daughter, they will ask the Taoist priest to take them back.

The girl was afraid of getting the stone spirits into trouble, so she quietly left the cave at night, but accidentally rolled off a cliff and died.

When the stone spirits found her the next day, her body was already cold.

He heard from the monsters in the mountains that the Iron Fan Fairy of the Flaming Mountain was extremely powerful and kind-hearted.

So Shifu carried the girl's body and walked all the way to the Flaming Mountain.

After seeing the corpse, Iron Fan Fairy said that it was as difficult as ascending to heaven. If he forced the resurrection, it would only be a body without intelligence, so it was better not to have it.

Father Shi refused to give up, and waited on the mountain road of Huoyan Mountain every day with the girl's body in his arms.

Hoping to gain the Iron Fan Fairy's mercy, the girl never gave up even though her body had turned to bones.

After reading Shi's father's memories, Tianming felt mixed emotions.

Only then did he realize that the Stone Mother he had killed that day was waiting alone in the cave, and that she and the Stone Father in front of him were actually a couple.

In order to save his adopted daughter, Shifu came out to ask Princess Iron Fan for help, but he accidentally broke into their cave and killed the man's wife.

Tianming's face turned red instantly, and he immediately put the stick back, feeling full of guilt.

Shi's father also quickly got up, not daring to fight or run away, and the two of them stood there awkwardly.

"Ahahahaha!" Tianming suddenly touched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"My dear brother, we are acquainted after fighting. I have two elixirs for you. How about we become friends?"

Father Shi was confused by the strange man in front of him. He was strong but had a weird personality. Sometimes he wanted to beat people, and sometimes he wanted to make friends. But he knew he was no match for him, so he had to reach out and take the two pills, which also contained two monkey hairs.
