Chapter 260 260:The Black Star[II]

Lia continued, her voice carrying the weight of gravity of the situation. "These beings with the bearer of a black star or fate are chosen by the world itself, tasked with the burden of wielding immense power to counteract those who would disrupt the natural order. But their path is riddled with immense suffering and solitude."

Leon listened intently, his mind racing with the implications of his own fate. "So, I'm one of these beings with a black fate?"

Lia nodded solemnly. "Yes! You possess the potential to play a crucial role in the balance of the world. But you aren't the only one. There are countless bearers of black stars."

"In the end, it's the survival of the fittest out of which not many were able to survive."

Leon rubbed his forehead absorbing the revelation. The puzzle pieces slowly started to fit together.

"How do you know all this?"Leon asked.

"Because my clan is one of the overseers of fate. We are seers who divine fortunes and communicate with the worldly laws."

Leon blinked his eyes and looked at his grandfather from upside down wondering how he got so lucky.

It seems the old man spent fortunes of several lifetimes to get her.

"Hey, brat, what do you mean by that look? Do you think I am trash who isn't capable of marrying her?"Arthur shouted, slamming his hand on the armrest of the chair.

"When did I say that? It's who you are reacting and saying that?"Leon feigned ignorance and turned towards Lia.

"What did you see about my future?"

"I wasn't able to devise anything, Leon. The heavens shroud the destiny of Black Stars."Lia answered, pausing a little.

"Up above, there are beings who are responsible for carrying out the world's arrangements. Beings who are responsible for making sure things go as followed by predetermined fate, so they appeared..."

"Is it related to the memories?"

"Hmm!" Lia nodded and explained.

"The moment you were born, fate had already started working to make you lonely."

"Originally, Irina was going to die by poison. Your older sister Stacy was going to be killed during a dimensional war and you were going to be paralyzed if you cultivated because you know your body condition isn't adept for cultivation. Arthur should have stepped into Martial Saint and broken to the next level but then he would have lost in the space turbulence during a fight in the Dimensional zone. As for your uncle Stephen, let us leave for now."

PFTT!

Contrary to his expectations, Lia laughed faintly.

"Leon, our spirit clan has a ritual. The person we love the most and marry will bear a seal and our power won't have any effect on him."

"Really!"Leon inhaled heavily.

"Arthur also asked the same question. And memory distortion isn't easy as we bear a part of the backlash so it is very rarely used. Using such power is a double-edged sword."

"I see...So what about the awakening part?"

Lia raised her chin and slumped back on the sofa"You were an unusual child from birth Leon. Unlike others you don't smile, you don't cry, you don't play, you don't talk. Your eyes were emotionless and cold which made Irina sad so she asked me to look into you. Sometimes you have seizures and go crazy like cutting yourself, becoming anxious, and so on."

"Child, you looked so much in pain that it was hard for us to look at. Irina and your sister would cry every day for you but like a soulless doll, you would just keep quiet."

Leon swallowed his saliva wondering if he did that.

"I looked but your soul force was strong. We talked after this. I told a part of the truth and you were clever enough to catch everything. I sealed a part of your past life memories waiting to be awakened later and when that happens the memories of this life would be sealed."

"It's quite dangerous as the experience of two different lives can change a person but thankfully your original personality didn't deviate much and when you awakened your memories along with the powers, it was time for a new round.."Lia paused a bit and her eyes drooped down with sadness.

"Playing with fate isn't easy. Till now, we managed to beat fate two times and soon we will head for round three where things are going to be more troublesome than ever."

Leon looked down and kept quietly sinking into deep thought.

He looked calm and quiet but Lia's eyes narrowed because she could feel it.

He was pissed off.

He was boiling with intense rage and hatred.

And all of his hatred was aimed at one thing.

The bitchy fate that toyed with him.
