"Build a reputation? Since it can't change fate and is just a gimmick, there will always be a time when it's exposed, right? I can understand the catastrophe in the demon world. After all, there are so many demon beasts that it's easy to fool them. But what if...?"

Song Jinnian pointed out the unreasonableness and asked.

"Well," Bi Feng raised his head nonchalantly, "it's very simple. You just need to selectively select. For example, if you know that a certain monster can survive that experience, you can go find that monster, give it a few mysterious pointers, and then leave."

"After the incident is over, the monster will naturally attribute the credit for its survival to the Akabane tribe's previous prophecy."

"In other cases, I can still believe in selective predictions. The demon king is so powerful. If he forces you..."

"That's not possible. If you encounter such a situation, just tell him that the Akabane Clan has predicted countless possibilities and finally found that no matter how they try to change their fate, the final result will be worse than the initial result. Then he won't dare to act rashly."

Bi Feng suddenly looked at Song Jinnian. There was a white cloth wrapped around his eyes, so he should not be able to see anything, but Song Jinnian inexplicably had an intuition that he could see.

Bi Feng ignored Song Jinnian's surprised look and spoke word by word.

"To put it bluntly, having the ability to predict the future will only make the monster more miserable. After all, you can only watch the result come, and you are powerless to change or do anything... That's very uncomfortable."

"It's better to be ignorant. You will be happier this way."

Bi Feng slowly untied a corner of the white cloth on the right side, revealing his bright golden eyes.

"That's why I covered my eyes. Otherwise, if I scanned a demon with my eyes, even if I didn't want to learn his fate, I would be forced to see everything that happened to him in the past three days."

"My golden eyes awakened too quickly in the past hundred years. As expected, I am probably the one with the strongest golden eyes among the Akabane Clan. But it's useless. No matter how powerful I am, I can't change my fate."

Bi Feng covered his exposed right eye with a white cloth again and then sighed.

"Now I use my spiritual power to perceive the things around me. Although it is far inferior to my eyes, it is fine as long as it can be used."

Song Jinnian bit her lower lip and asked unwillingly.

"But if fate cannot be changed, then what is the meaning of "effort" and "struggle"?"

"Maybe to make the process look better?" Bi Feng spread his hands and whispered softly.

"Oh no, maybe even your so-called "effort" or "struggle" is already arranged by fate."

"Fate has already been arranged..."

Song Jinnian lowered his head and remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking, but Bi Feng didn't take it to heart and continued talking.

"I know why you care so much about whether you can change your fate. It's because you don't want to "sacrifice" your body to let your past life "come", right?"

When Song Jinnian heard this, he finally reacted a little. He raised his head again and retorted.

"It's not a 'sacrifice'! I just recovered my memories from my previous life. I was still me in my previous life, wasn't I?"

Bi Feng sneered, "Don't deceive yourself."

"In the future I see, your current consciousness will be completely destroyed and replaced by your past life."

"Your reincarnation path is different from other immortal cultivators. You should be able to sense this. Otherwise... you wouldn't be so obsessed with whether your fate can be changed."

"...So in the future that you predicted, is Brother Su Han... okay?"

Song Jinnian thought for a while and said with the last bit of hope.

Although he had basically guessed that Su Han should have also been in the cycle of reincarnation in his previous life, and based on previous situations, Su Han might be in a more serious condition than himself, and his consciousness recovered faster than his own, he still couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope.

"Brother Su Han? Could it be a white-haired boy?"

Bi Feng smiled, pulled off the white cloth covering his eyes, revealing his golden eyes. He looked at Song Jinnian for a while before teasing.

"Don't worry, you two will still be together in the future. However, judging from his condition, he probably has no memory of this life. It's really interesting that your past life and his past life were together."

Song Jinnian's last bit of hope was shattered, and he made a weak sound with a hoarse throat.

"What about my parents? Will my past life consciousness treat my parents well?"

"Parents? Let me see... Don't worry, your parents are living a good life. Moreover, as a reward for bringing up your ancestor, their status in your clan has been greatly improved."

"But they definitely don't remember you. For some reason, your parents drank the forgetfulness water and completely forgot all their memories of you. They can't even remember that they have a child."

After Bi Feng finished speaking, Song Jinnian did not refute for a long time. He used his spiritual power to investigate and found that he had been keeping his head down and fell into silence again.

So, for some unknown reason, Bi Feng slowly walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be too obsessed with changing your fate or anything like that. Just accept it, okay?"

“Instead of pinning your hopes on something illusory, you might as well have fun with the remaining time and do whatever you want.”

"Also, although your consciousness will disappear soon, you in your previous life are still you. In the future I foresee, the name 'Song Jinnian' will be passed down in the world. I guess this should be your previous life's way of repaying your 'sacrifice'."

"Just think about it, your name will be passed down through the world, which is an honor that many monsters dream of."

"You continued to live with your current identity in your previous life, which means that all these honors and fame will also be bestowed on you. How amazing."

After listening to him, Song Jinnian finally raised his head again. There was no gloom or panic on his face, nor did he look inspired at all. He just smiled innocently.

Then he suddenly came close to Bi Feng, and when the cuff of his sleeve was close to Bi Feng's neck, a dagger appeared as if by magic and stabbed straight at him.

Bi Feng seemed to have anticipated this and dodged Song Jinnian's sneak attack by slightly turning his body.

He grabbed Song Jinnian's wrist and applied a little force. Song Jinnian let go of his hand in pain, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

"You don't think I'm really defenseless, do you?" Bi Feng laughed, "Besides, I told you, you can't beat me."

"I told you so much, and tried to comfort you, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful."

Song Jinnian gritted his teeth and taunted. "An ungrateful bastard? What right do you have to say that to me? I think you are the one, otherwise why would you hide in such a remote village? Wouldn't the Chiyu tribe do their best to cultivate golden pupils? You got so many benefits, but you ran away in the end..."

"court death!"

Bi Feng seemed to have had his taboos touched by certain words. He suddenly stepped forward and went straight for Song Jinnian's neck.

Bi Feng's hand stopped when it was a few centimeters away from Song Jinnian's throat. He glanced at Song Jinnian and finally withdrew his hand.

"Forget it, it's useless for me to do this," Bi Feng turned his head and said coldly, "You are so unprepared and fearless, aren't you just relying on the fact that I can't kill you?"

Song Jinnian smiled, picked up the dagger on the ground and put it away.

"Yes, in order to have a chance to start over in my previous life, I would not die before he completely eliminated my consciousness and took over my body. He also would not allow me to die and destroy his hard work."

Bi Feng let out a long sigh, then turned around and asked Song Jinnian.

"Then why did you attack me when you knew you couldn't kill me? Don't lie, I could feel your murderous intent when you stabbed me!"

"Oh, you're asking that."

"There's no special reason. I just realized that Brother Bi Feng's golden pupils are not very useful. They are of no use to me and can't help me."

Song Jinnian tilted his head, as if he was thinking, but the next second he showed a vicious smile.

"Since it's useless, I just want to kill them. Brother Bi Feng has no need to exist. It's a great pleasure for me to satisfy my desire to kill them."

"Oh? Aren't you afraid that what I said before, that you can't change your fate, was a lie? I just said that because I simply don't want to change your fate, but I don't want to reject you directly?"

"If that's the case, you'll have no hope now when you attack me."

Bi Feng said tentatively.

"Impossible, you are telling the truth, I can tell."

Song Jinnian said in a decisive tone.

"Can you hear it?" Seeing how confident he was, Bi Feng panicked for a moment.

"Brother Bifeng, can't your golden pupil predict the future? Then, haven't you seen my prototype in the future? Oh, no, mother said that our clan cannot reveal our prototype. It's normal that you haven't seen it."

Song Jinnian first raised a question and then explained it to himself.

"Forget it, nothing matters anymore. Since your golden pupils can't create any value for the family, I won't recruit you anymore."

"You can't be my good friend anymore, um... I'll leave you a place as an ordinary friend."

"I will still bring you some money every year so that you can maintain a basic life in this temple. After that... I will probably never see you again. Is that good enough?"

After hearing this, Bi Feng just sneered and said half-jokingly.

"Humph, how heartless."

Song Jinnian shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"This is how the world is. Profits come first. Things without value will naturally be discarded."

"Besides, can't your golden eyes predict the future? Isn't it reasonable for me to do this? In the future you predict, will we still want to meet?"

"At least not in the next three hundred years that I can predict."

Bi Feng said lightly.

"That's it. It seems I still keep my promise."

After saying that, Song Jinnian turned around and prepared to leave.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped, turned around to look at Bi Feng, and spoke slowly.

"Bi Feng, although you only predicted that we wouldn't want to see each other within three hundred years, I think that since we'll want to see each other for three hundred years, then we won't want to see each other after that."

"Now let me say goodbye to you forever, Brother Bifeng!"

Song Jinnian waved his hand and said with a smile.

Bi Feng did not respond, but just stood there quietly, watching Song Jinnian's figure gradually go away until it disappeared.

The temple returned to its former silence, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusory farce.

Bi Feng stood there for a long time, then he slowly sighed, turned around and walked into the depths of the temple.

In the darkness, his figure looked particularly lonely and desolate.

Bi Feng returned to his meditation room, his thoughts unable to calm down for a long time.

He didn't understand why Song Jinnian was so obsessed with changing his fate. Wouldn't it be better to just accept his fate?

He thought of his golden pupils, an ability he once took pride in, but which has now become a pain in his heart.

He could not change his fate and could only watch everything happen. This feeling of powerlessness made him feel suffocated.

"Forget it, let's ignore that kid." Bi Feng muttered to himself.

"Anyway, with the money that guy gives me every year, I can have enough food and clothing and live a good life. Why should I think so much?"

After leaving the temple, Song Jinnian limped forward slowly, feeling confused about the future.

As he walked, he found that his legs were again being hugged by the monster he encountered when he came to the village last time.

"Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please......"

The monster's unrecognizable old body uttered its last weak sound.

This time, Song Jinnian did not ignore him directly, but looked down. The shoe prints from before were still on the monster's tattered clothes.

She is so brave. Oh no, she is not afraid of death. Even though she was stepped on by him before, she still dared to take the initiative to step forward and hug his thighs like last time. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't she be afraid and stay away from him?

Song Jinnian smiled. It turned out that knowing nothing gave him more courage to try.

Like him now, he has realized that his fate cannot be changed, and instead has become timid.

He sighed, smiled helplessly, took out a bag of "demon coins" from his storage bag and threw it over.

"I'll give you this money, just because... you're so brave."

The monster took it, knelt down on the spot, and was about to kowtow to Song Jinnian.

As a result, Song Jinnian quickly stopped him, "I should be younger than you, don't kowtow to me, it will shorten your life."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

The monster seemed to not know how to express gratitude and kept talking.
