Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

With the Dominator's disappearance, the surrounding black fog gradually dissipated, the energy fluctuations in the air began to ease, and the air became fresher. Zhao Shufang took a deep breath, as if the burden had finally been lifted from her shoulders. But she knew that the real challenge had just begun.

"Shufang, did we really win?" Lu Lingyuan stood beside her, a hint of uncertainty in his tone. Although the 'Dominator' had vanished, the sense of oppression and unease still lingered in his heart. After all, this battle was far more than a simple physical confrontation. The hidden forces and the entanglement of fate made it impossible for him to completely let go of his doubts.

Zhao Shufang turned and gazed intently into the distance, a complex light flickering in her eyes. "Although the 'Dominator' has vanished, he's not the only threat. The intertwining of fates has begun, and everything seems to be leading us towards an unknown outcome."

Lu Lingyuan frowned, remained silent for a moment, and whispered, "Are you saying that there is an even greater crisis ahead?"

Zhao Shufang nodded slightly. "We've broken the shackles of the 'Dominator,' but the power he represents hasn't completely vanished. Whether it's the laws of heaven or the arrangements of these destinies, there are still unsolved mysteries."

"Then what should we do?" Lu Lingyuan's eyes flashed with anxiety. "Should we continue to fight against fate? Where will this lead us?"

Zhao Shufang stared ahead, a hint of worry on her face. "I'm not sure. Perhaps we can change some things, but it seems we can never completely escape the cycle of fate." Her voice was low and firm. "But we can't give up. Whatever the future holds, we must embrace it."

"If I have to go through more sacrifices and pain along the way, is it worth it?" Lu Lingyuan finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart. His voice was low, but full of concern and worry.

Zhao Shufang turned her head and looked into Lu Lingyuan's eyes, her gaze filled with gentle determination. "I know this road isn't easy, and it may be filled with pain and challenges. But no one's destiny should be determined by others. We have the right to choose, don't we?"

Lu Lingyuan looked at her deeply, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly: "Yes, we have the right to choose."

Just as the two were about to continue forward, a sudden, powerful wave of energy reverberated. The distant sky suddenly darkened, as if engulfed by a vast force. Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan raised their heads in alarm and exchanged glances.

"What is it?" Lu Lingyuan asked nervously.

Zhao Shufang's brows furrowed, her eyes stern. "It's the fluctuations of fate. It seems the challenges ahead will be even more severe."

Without further ado, the two men immediately ran towards the source of the fluctuations. As they walked, the surroundings gradually became distorted, as if they had entered an unfamiliar space. A strange aura filled the air, and layers of fog enveloped the surroundings, making it impossible to see the road ahead.

"What is this place?" Lu Lingyuan frowned and said, "No, this feeling..."

Zhao Shufang suddenly stopped and stared ahead: "We have entered another dimension. This seems to be the center of destiny."

Just as she finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from the fog ahead: "Welcome, Zhao Shufang, Lu Lingyuan."

The voice was filled with coercion, as if every word could oppress one's heart. Zhao Shufang raised her eyebrows, and her tone was calm but could not be ignored: "Who are you?"

A vague figure gradually emerged from the fog. It was a man wearing an ancient black robe. His face was hidden under the black robe, and only a pair of deep eyes flashed with a dark light.

"Who am I?" The man sneered, "I am the guardian of destiny, and I am also a part of your fate."

Lu Lingyuan clenched his fists vigilantly, his eyes sharp: "Guardian of Destiny? What exactly do you want to do?"

The man didn't answer immediately. Instead, he smiled faintly. "You have broken the shackles of the 'Dominator,' but do you truly understand the vortex you are entering? The flow of fate has never stopped for anyone."

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Zhao Shufang's eyes, and she whispered, "Are you the incarnation of Heaven?"

The man nodded. "Yes, I am the embodiment of fate, or perhaps the will of heaven. You have broken free from the constraints of the outside world, but have not altered your inner trajectory. You believe you can break free from fate's control, but in reality, you are merely pawns in destiny, unable to escape that predetermined trajectory."

Lu Lingyuan said angrily: "Are you threatening us?"

"A threat?" the man sneered. "No, the truth is, you're already standing at the crossroads of fate. Whether you're willing to choose or not, your fate is sealed."

Zhao Shufang's eyes became more determined. "Destiny? I never believe in the so-called destiny. Our own choices are our truest power."

A hint of sneer flashed across the man's face. "You think you can challenge fate and change everything, but you don't know that the real test has just begun."

Zhao Shufang took a deep breath and raised her head, her eyes no longer filled with fear. "You said we were pawns, so we will use our will to break this game. The trajectory of fate doesn't have to be controlled by you alone."

The man sneered: "Well, if that's the case, then let me see how far you can go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's figure vanished into thin air, and the surrounding fog quickly dissipated, replaced by a void of darkness. Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan stood in the darkness, facing a road with no clear end.

"Shufang, what should we do?" Lu Lingyuan looked at her with some hesitation in his tone.

Zhao Shufang was silent for a moment, then firmly held his hand and said, "Let's keep going. Only by going on can we find out the truth about our fate."

The two took a deep breath and set out on the road to the unknown. Every step was a battle against fate; every step was filled with unknown challenges. However, their determination was stronger than ever.

Whether the future can be as they wish, they can only strive for it through their own efforts.
