An older middle-aged man with black eyes and red pupils appeared in an area outside the chaos and started laughing madly out of the blue.
Out of nowhere, the space distorted and he came face to face with a gray-haired man with gray eyes.
The grey-eyed man had a sickly appearance and looked like he was about to die with some greyish liquid dripping from all his orifices.
The black-eyed man laughed "Just as I expected you are losing touch with your path.
Hmph, What did I expect of lower beings you do not even have full souls and I even doubt what you have is really a soul."
The gray-eyed man sighed and said "Ying Zheng! Oh, Ying Zheng! I wish I could have killed you a long time ago.
I started noticing you were attempting to get my fate and destiny path since the time and fate wars, but, sigh, I never expected you to succeed."
The black-eyed man sneered and said "Hmph who said I ever wanted your fate, Path?
Fate, destiny time, and any other Daos are useless to me and in fact, they were more of chains to myself. So I never delved too much into them.``
Ying Zheng paused for a moment and continued "Although I do not consider you a life or even a dead creature or object that does not mean..."
The gray eyed man frowned and questioned " what tricks are you playing?"
The black eyed man did not immediately answer as if he in deep thought or did not know how to answer his question.
"In my birth universe there was a theory that was very wide spread when I was young...
And it goes like this you do not know anything except yourself and that itself is still a mystery but if you close your eyes the universe stops to exist...
For example how do you know that you are still yesterday's you. I will give you an example as a mortal...
When you open your eyes how do you know everything is still the same maybe the universe was recreated in that instant...
Maybe the water you are bathing with was blood in the previous universe or maybe you are lie with fake memories who will snap out of existence the moment you close your eyes or the moment you sleep...
To be honest that terrifies me and even though I am immortal how and cannot possibly die...
What if I am just like a mortal on a small world who could just die at any just because to great beings are fighting...
You see you will never be comparable to me since you see yourself as a perfect being and a god.
Yes you are omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient but only this pathetic thing of a universe.
The moment you declared yourself as God you died.
I on the other hand know I am not god. God is perfection.
But the moment I reached perfection in my eyes that is still imperfection. Hahaha I see you cannot comprehend what I am saying.
Not to worry even my fellow men could not understand me but do forgive me it has been forever since I have talked to anything."
Everything has a soul it is just that most creatures cannot understand them. Walls have ears, the wind knows every tale, energy has wisdom if you just listened and plants have souls and lives."
The gray-eyed man although puzzled, created a table out of nowhere and gestured to the black-eyed man to sit down.
The gray-eyed man ignored the black eyed man's babbling.
After sitting down he started to speak "I do not understand what you are cultivating.
And how did you manage to get an immortal lifespan with a mortal body?"
"Mortal body?" Sneered the black eyed man.
The black-eyed man furrowed his eyes and stared deep into time and space and sighed.
Seeing that the black-eyed man did not want to answer the gray-eyed man rephrased his question and asked
"Where are you from and why did you choose to come to our universe?"
Hearing this the black-eyed man sneered "Hmph come to your universe? do not make me laugh.
I never wanted to come to such a lowly universe with no souls. I just did not have a choice if I had one sigh...
I would have gone to the other two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine complete universes..."
By 2900 universes he did not mean exactly 2900. This is how ancients would say 70 or 70,000 as infinite or a lot. 2,999 means near limitless.
"But they do not take in outsiders or are at least very very strict, but I can not say coming here was without benefits.
After all, I am in the top fighting force even within the middle-ranked universes and Middle ranked in higher and top universes.
As for your first question I told you long ago I am from Earth, the old mother Earth hahaha..."
The gray-eyed man sighed "How did you manage to defeat me?"
"That was not too hard, you were not in touch with your path in the first place as I already told you.
How can you love multiple things and worst of all women and children even if I did not defeat you sigh...
You would be dead in less than a million eras. Fate time space or any other path can not love or care in the slightest and secondly other people can not climb your tree to success.
And you meddle too much. You have time and Time and time again interferd with the fate of your useless children!"
The gray-eyed man's gray eyes pupils thinned almost unnoticeably considering his pupils, iris, and sclera all grey.
Seeing this Ying Zheng, the black-eyed man, laughed "Hahahahaha old man stop trying to trick me we all know you can't lose control of a single cell of your body."
The gray-eyed man hmphed and said "Ying Zheng why are you so evil? why can you not let love into your heart?
Even if it is not a woman why not your first child? How about the daughter of the goddess of love considering how much she sacrificed for you but you used her and abandoned her in the abyss after you were done with her thus pushing her towards hatred but you did not stop there you the... "
Ying Zheng cut him off and sneered "hmph love you say? of course, I love my children and my descendants I am not heartless but if they get in my way or are a liability to myself then they can take care of themselves.
As for her, she deserved what happened to her but she can't blame me considering how much more interesting I made the boring stuck-up life of a bratty child...
Believing the false gods are the rulers of the world but believe it or not she managed to bewitch my clone...
But the first son was just a result of a mistake and I never blamed him for all the trouble he had caused me.
As for the first question, why am I so evil? hmph, I doubt a universe place with no souls would actually understand but I will tell you anyway.
On our original planet, we used to judge people by good or evil but we outgrew it and went beyond good and evil... Nearly becoming transcendants ourselves.
Nobody is evil we just have different tastes, and no one deserves to search for his happiness while refusing the same for others that is unless you are omnipotent in your area of expertise.
For example, there is a person who wants a peaceful world but there is one rotten person in the group what will he do?"
"He will kill that person or imprison them."
"That is correct, at least you can think yes he would kill that rotten piece for the sake of his happy dream.
But on the other hand, what right does he have to kill that person for his happiness?
The rotten deserves his right to destroy or kill others but for your selfishness, you tried to stop him.

Peach Village
Ying Zheng was the scum of peach village
he was not born in the Peach Village but he was adopted by a childless couple.
They did not hate Ying Zheng or resent him.
They treated Ying Zheng as they would their own child but unfortunately, they died from unknown circumstances when Ying Zheng was 9 years old.
Ying Zheng had a tanned skin tone black deep eyes, shoulder-length hair, and was well-toned in terms of muscle.
Against the villagers in fact he was almost twice as strong as the normal villager if one to judge by sight.
But right this moment he was being cursed and hunted by those same villagers.
Seeing this Ying Zheng did not blame himself but the useless bitch Han Mei. He even helped her clean up but that bitch...
...
~30 years later.
Xianyang Capital of the Qin dynasty.
An older Ying Zheng with graying side hair came to a neat house in the suburbs of Xianyang.
Ying Zheng was about to knock at the door but an old man dressed in servant clothes opened the door.
Ying Zheng looked at him and sighed "Sigh time is the enemy of us all.
Hahahaha but that door-opening trick is just creepy please stop doing it."
The old man smiled at Ying Zheng and said "Hahaha you are right, time is the enemy of us all.
Little Zheng or should call you Emperor Qin Shi Huang? You have grown so much.
Last time you were here you were but a young boy.
But Now... sigh I am truly getting older but enough of the chit-chat. the Master was expecting you."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "please lead the way."
...
A few hours earlier
In old Han's home
Old Han was a charitable old farmer. He was kind to everyone. All the villagers respected him.
Old Han showed that he preferred peace above war, and logic against force and violence. However, he was not only known for his empathetic nature but also his courage, his keen thoughts and his vast knowledge. He was also known for his great generosity and hospitality. Some of his contemporaries said of his household: "We have not seen a house with more food or drink or fruit or knowledge than the house of Old Han."
'But what do I know I might be exaggerating things out of proportion after all...'
His son died a few years back he was now only left with a granddaughter whom he cherished more than his own life.
She was one of the most beautiful girls in the neighboring villages and every man adored her and wanted to marry her or at least copulate with her.
Right now she was drying clothes outside
She saw Ying Zheng walking toward her home.
Seeing Ying Zheng she blushed and wanted to hide herself in a corner or at least bury herself in the ground at least this was Ying Zheng saw.
Seeing this Ying Zheng was quite excited considering most girls looked at him like this before they know.
In no way did Ying Zheng think she was trying to screw him over.
...
(A thousand words were omitted here.)
Almost an hour later...
Han Mei slid into the corner of the shower, holding herself.
