Her eyes, deep and like the ancient starry sky, seemed to see through all pretense. Her voice, like heavenly music, carried a faint smile as she directly saw through his little thoughts: "Young man, there's no need to be so nervous. Although your mind is a bit unconventional, it's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, everyone has curiosity."
She paused, her gaze seemingly drifting towards the distant horizon, a hint of reminiscence and melancholy in her eyes, and said softly, "As for what you're thinking... the ancient times are too distant, long gone like smoke. Now, we're just clinging to life, seeking a quiet place in this mortal world."
Her voice was soft and faint, yet it seemed to contain endless vicissitudes and loneliness, causing Shi Hao's heart to tremble slightly.
What untold stories has this stunningly beautiful woman experienced? What secrets of the past years have she kept hidden?
However, Shi Hao also knew that these were things he could not explore at the moment.
Since the other party had offered him a way out, he naturally took the opportunity and quickly changed the subject, bowing respectfully and asking, "Junior Shi Hao greets Senior. May I ask... why Senior summoned me here?"
He knew that such a being would never summon him without a reason.
The woman in gray withdrew her gaze and turned it back to Shi Hao. This time, her eyes were calm and deep, as if she wanted to see right through him.
She remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly, her voice still gentle, yet carrying an undeniable authority:
"Shi Hao".
"Not long ago, you fought and killed Shi Yi in the Realm of the Void Gods."
"Well done."
Upon hearing her mention Shi Yi, Shi Hao's eyes instantly turned cold.
"You flatter me, senior," Shi Hao replied coldly. "That was his own fault! The hatred that took his life is irreconcilable! This grudge can only be avenged with blood!"
Seeing the coldness in his eyes, the woman in gray didn't say anything. She simply shook her head and said calmly, "Although you won the battle in the Void God Realm, it is not the end."
"Hmm?" Shi Hao raised an eyebrow and looked at her with confusion.
The woman in gray looked at him, her deep eyes seeming to hold countless stars flickering and fading. She slowly spoke, uttering a sentence that shook Shi Hao to his core:
"Those with double pupils are born extraordinary, and their destiny is far more resilient than you can imagine."
"The fall of the Void God Realm may damage its origin, but it may not be able to completely destroy it."
“I can sense… his presence hasn’t completely disappeared from this world.”
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's pupils contracted sharply!
Shi Yi is still alive?!
How can this be? !
In the battle in the Realm of the Void Gods, he clearly killed it with his own hands! He should have even completely annihilated its divine soul!
Are people with double pupils really that powerful? Can they even be resurrected after their body and soul have been destroyed?!
Seeing the incredulous shock on Shi Hao's face, the woman in gray seemed unsurprised. She continued in her calm tone:
"The Path of Double Pupils and the Path of Supreme Bones are both the most supreme paths in the world. The question of which is stronger has been debated since ancient times, but there has never been a definitive conclusion."
"Both of you are prodigies born of destiny, and the entanglement between you was already preordained. The battle in the Realm of the Void Gods was merely the prelude."
"The real showdown, the real conclusion, is yet to come."
"I can foresee that in the near future, there will definitely be a true showdown between you two!"
"That battle may truly determine whether the Double Pupils or the Supreme Bone is the invincible one of their generation!"
The gray-clad woman's words exploded in Shi Hao's heart like a thunderclap!
Shi Yi is not dead! And he will fight me again in the future!
it is good!very good!
Since you're not quite dead yet! Then next time we meet, I'll make you die again!
Shi Hao's eyes blazed with renewed fighting spirit and invincible confidence!
"A future war?" A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Fine! I'll be waiting!"
"No matter how he returns, no matter how strong he becomes!"
"The next time we meet, I will still kill him with my own hands!"
His voice was resolute!
The woman in gray looked at his confident, even arrogant, demeanor and a faint smile appeared in her eyes, as if she quite admired him.
"That's a good idea." She nodded, then changed the subject, her tone becoming more serious, and brought up another topic:
"Alright, let's leave Shi Yi's matter aside for now. There's another, more important matter I need to tell you today."
Shi Hao's expression turned solemn: "Please speak, senior."
The woman in gray gazed once more at the distant horizon, her deep eyes seemingly reflecting a terrifying future filled with blood and fire. Her voice grew ethereal yet solemn:
"The wasteland... is about to descend into chaos."
"An unprecedented catastrophe is about to befall us!"
really!
Shi Hao understood what she was going to say.
"I have already heard about it," Shi Hao replied calmly. "I wonder if you have more detailed information about this great calamity, senior?"
The woman in gray shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes: "This calamity is too complicated, involving forbidden existences, and may even be related to some ancient schemes in the upper realm. Even I cannot fully see through the fog of mystery."
"I can only tell you..." Her tone grew even more solemn, "This calamity is no small matter! Its devastation will far surpass any turmoil in history!"
"At that time, the heavens and earth will collapse, the laws will be in chaos, and order will crumble! Even Venerables or beings at the Divine Fire Realm may perish like mere blades of grass!"
"The Medicine Capital is a place where spiritual energy gathers in the desolate region, and it is also the place where the ancient Medicine God was reborn. It contains astonishing creations and will surely become the focus of contention among various forces, turning into a land of conquest and rivers of blood!"

The woman with double pupils looked at Shi Hao and solemnly warned him, "Although you have high talent and strong strength, your foundation is still shallow. Staying here is too dangerous."
"Take my advice: leave the Medicine Capital as soon as possible, find a safe place, cultivate diligently, and accumulate strength. That is the best course of action."
The gray-clad woman's words were undeniably serious, almost a prophecy of an impending catastrophe.
However, she was surprised.
After hearing her words, which were full of warning and worry, Shi Hao's face remained calm and composed.
"Hmm?" The woman in gray looked at Shi Hao's unusually calm reaction and couldn't help but feel a little curious.
“Little one,” she couldn’t help but ask, her tone tinged with inquiry, “Hearing news of such a calamity that would make even a Venerable One tremble, you… don’t seem afraid at all?”
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao raised his head, looked at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, who was filled with curiosity, and suddenly grinned, asking in return, "Why should I be afraid?"
"Huh?" The woman in gray was taken aback by his matter-of-fact question.
Shi Hao shrugged, a strong sense of confidence shining on his small face: "We'll deal with whatever comes our way."
"So what if there's a great calamity? So what if there are forbidden existences? So what if there are giants from the upper realms?"
"As long as I am strong enough! Strong enough to break through all constraints! Sweep away all enemies!"
"Those so-called calamities are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of me! I can suppress them with a flick of my wrist!"
"So why should I be afraid?"
Although his voice was still young, it contained a powerful confidence and invincible spirit that looked down on the world and was fearless.
The woman in gray was stunned.
She looked at the small figure in front of her, at his clear eyes filled with invincible conviction.
It's as if I'm seeing myself from a long, long time ago, someone who was just as spirited, confident, and daring to challenge everything.
Do not!
Even more confident and arrogant than he was back then!
Her heart, which had been dormant for countless ages, was stirred once again by the words of the young man before her!
“You little rascal…” The woman in gray looked at Shi Hao, and for the first time, her deep eyes revealed genuine curiosity and inquiry.
"I really don't know where your confidence comes from?"
"Or is it that you are truly hiding something... a shocking secret that even I cannot see through?"
She stared at Shi Hao, as if trying to see right through him.
Shi Hao, however, met her probing gaze with a mysterious smile.
At the summit of the low hill, an ancient well lies deep and secluded, its steam rising and swirling.
The woman in gray, who seemed to be a person with double pupils from ancient times, looked at the young man who had brought her so many surprises and shocks. Her deep eyes, which seemed to be able to see through the ages, were filled with a complex and unfathomable light.
She could sense that this boy named Shi Hao possessed unimaginable potential, like a dormant universe, the trajectory of which even she could not fully foresee.
She also knew that there was an unbreakable karmic connection between him and Shi Yi, who was also born with double pupils.
After a moment of silence, the woman in gray slowly spoke, her voice still like heavenly music, but carrying a hint of indifference and aloofness: "Your confidence is indeed beyond my expectations. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing."
She looked at Shi Hao and said calmly, "Although Shi Yi was defeated in the battle of the Void God Realm, it may not be the end. The path of double pupils is mysterious and unpredictable, with endless variables in the future. The real decisive battle between you and him may have only just begun."
She didn't seem to think Shi Hao could completely kill Shi Yi, or rather, she was more eager to see two equally brilliant individuals reach the pinnacle of their respective paths and then clash in a fateful encounter.
"I hope that in the future, I can see you in a real showdown with those who have double pupils." She emphasized again, "Who is stronger and who is weaker will be determined in time."
After saying that, she seemed to lose interest in continuing the conversation and waved to Shi Hao, "You can go now."
She remained seated cross-legged by the ancient well the entire time, never rising, her demeanor composed, as if her earlier astonishing remarks about the great calamity and Shi Yi were merely casual remarks.
She didn't mention suppressing Shi Hao either. Clearly, as she said, summoning Shi Hao was merely to see this young man who had stirred up trouble in the desolate region. Given her status and strength, she naturally disdained bullying the weak.
Looking at her indifferent and aloof demeanor, Shi Hao felt no discouragement or dissatisfaction.
He calmly met the other person's deep gaze, his tone equally calm, yet carrying an undeniable confidence and assertiveness:
"Any opponent I defeat, no matter who they are, I will give them time to catch up."
"Until he can no longer even see my back."
He paused, his gaze fixed intently on the stunningly beautiful woman in grey before him, and spoke clearly, word by word:
"Give me time, even someone like you, sister."
"I, Shi Hao, can surpass them too!"
boom!
