Chapter 1138: 352. Free Fate Writing_2
Assuming the Undead Cult is willing to cooperate with the Sea Monsters and has developed a special kind of water that doesn’t affect deep sea magic power and can suppress shadow energy, then there would be hope for resolving the calamity of shadow creatures faced by the Sea Monsters.
Not only that, but the Sea Monsters could also divert the disaster elsewhere, using the new water to restrict the shadow creatures’ range of activity in the deep sea and guide them to places like the Suman Archipelago, Kashel Continent, and the Ulnas Circle.
It could be said that refining the water was for the sake of both survival and development.
This must be why the Sea Monster Queen was so eager to collaborate with the Undead Cult.
Of course, this was just a guess from Noland Lee.
He shared his analysis with the Assassin Angel.
...
The other party agreed with him to some extent and then asked,
“If you were the Metal Ancestor Dragon, how would you lead the Metal Series Wizards you’ve rallied to attack the Spinning Continent?” noveldrama
Noland raised an eyebrow; what did the Assassin Angel’s question imply?
Could it mean that the Sea Monster Emissary delivering the Magic Contract Book was a result of the White Ancestral Dragon’s manipulation behind the scenes?
A thought flitted through Noland’s mind, and he pondered before replying,
“I haven’t studied the Spinning Continent in depth, only having observed it from hundreds of kilometers away. However, from the information I’ve gathered, to enter the Spinning Continent, one must first withstand giant floating islands moving at speeds over 400 kilometers per hour.
“Even Wizards of the Nine or Ten Rings wouldn’t dare to face such massive flying objects head-on. Moreover, these giant floating islands aren’t simply massive, sturdy, and fast; they also have various magical features, such as immense attractive forces, erupting with high-temperature heat waves, and freezing anything that approaches.”
Noland raised his hand, intending to rub his chin.
But he immediately realized that this subconscious gesture of contemplation would expose his anomaly and promptly stopped himself.
He lowered his hand and continued,
“Theoretically, if one moved in the same direction as the floating islands at high speed, one could achieve a relative standstill. The Metal Ancestor Dragon and its followers could use this method to climb each island, dealing with the magical properties of each island one by one, and step by step, penetrate inward, using the islands as stepping stones to reach the interior of the Spinning Continent.”
Noland rubbed his fingers together,
“However, I have a question. Is it possible to go underwater? Wouldn’t entering the Spinning Continent from below the sea surface allow one to avoid the storms and floating islands above…wait, hold on!”
Noland’s body tensed, and a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind!
He remembered something!
The Dragon Clan actually had arrangements at the sea bottom in the deep sea!
He had witnessed the Sea Monsters opening the Dragon Clan Secret Room at the seabed and turning the Dragon Language Roulette!
Whenever the Spinning Continent was about to eject treasures, beams of light would shoot out from the islands, indicating the area where the treasures would fall.
The Sea Monsters were altering the trajectory of the falling treasures by turning the Dragon Language Roulette, thereby leading all of mankind’s boats into the same Subsea Region.
After witnessing the turning of the Dragon Language Roulette by the Sea Monsters, Noland was convinced of the intricate connection between the Sea Monsters and the Dragon Clan.
Now, as he recalled this, everything suddenly clicked in Noland’s mind.
“What did you think of?” asked the Assassin Angel.
Noland steadied his heart and recounted the memories in his mind.
After carefully listening, the Assassin Angel said,
“Yes, that fits the bill. Do you remember what I told you? The Plane Core behind the Sea Monsters is called ‘Prisoner of the Deep Sea,’ a core that seeks to transform all planetospheres into a deep sea environment. The Sea Monsters are not the slaves of the Dragon Clan in the Ulnas Circle but an independent extraordinary race.
“But your observations have proven that the Sea Monsters of This World have reached some form of agreement with the Dragon Clan. The Dragon with whom they collaborate should be the White Ancestral Dragon inside the Spinning Continent.
“I think we’ve found our answer. The Magic Contract Book in the pocket of your robe was sent to us by the White Ancestral Dragon through the Sea Monsters.”
The Assassin Angel didn’t finish, but Noland understood the implication.
As long as the Sea Monsters blocked the underwater region, that would cut off the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s chance to enter the Spinning Continent from underneath.
This was the profounder reason, the most fundamental reason why the White Ancestral Dragon prompted the Sea Monsters to collaborate with the Undead Cult.
Noland’s breathing hitched.
Although he was in the state of “Breath of the Dead,” a genuine skeleton, he still felt his heartbeat accelerate.
“Is the White Ancestral Dragon so capable? Have we been exposed? Can it use the means of fate to see our actions?”
Noland Lee asked three questions in quick succession.
The Assassin Angel responded calmly,
“No, no need to worry. It indeed can impose five fate shackles on the life creatures of the Inner Cosmos, but this doesn’t mean it can precisely control every single thing, every choice, of an individual.”
The Assassin Angel said,
“In the realm of ‘Destiny,’ the Star Gods once, along with deities endowed with superior divine power, collectively wove a set of criteria to assess the strength of destiny-related abilities.
“The most basic ability in the destiny series is ‘Chain Sense,’ which means being able to detect the fate shackles on oneself merely by one’s perception and to know whether the fate shackles are likely to take effect soon.
“One level higher is ‘Destiny Evasion,’ which, without external influence, is the ability to evade the negative effects brought by fate shackles, such as avoiding ‘drowning,’ ‘falling to one’s death,’ and other situations where death or serious injury is inevitable due to accidents.
“An even higher level of destiny-related ability is ‘Fate Resistance.’ At this level, an Extraordinary of the destiny series can modify their fate shackles to a limited extent.
“Then there is ‘Free Fate Writing,’ which is weaving one’s own fate shackles and manipulating one’s destiny according to one’s will. This level of destiny-related ability is called ‘Free Fate Writing.’
“Above that is the highest level, called ‘Fate Interference,’ which is the precise meddling in the destiny of an individual.”
Noland Lee seemed to have an epiphany.
The Assassin Angel said,
“The White Ancestral Dragon, relying on its own might, has commandeered the throne that controls the destiny of life creatures in the Inner Cosmos through the ‘Wizard’ Plane Core. However, this only grants it the ability of ‘Free Fate Writing.'”
“It can set a fate shackle for itself, such as ‘Sea Monsters must ally with the Undead Cult.’
“When the course of events starts to develop towards this fate shackle, the ‘Chain Sense’ ability will alert the White Ancestral Dragon, reminding it of the imminent arrival of the fate shackle.
“At that time, the White Ancestral Dragon just has to logically send the Sea Monster Emissary with the Magic Contract Book to make the fate shackle come true.”
Noland Lee nodded slowly,
“I understand. The White Ancestral Dragon, relying on its ability to sense fate shackles, knew that the opportunity for the Sea Monsters and the Undead Cult to sign the Magic Contract Book had come, so the Magic Contract Book appeared in the pocket of the Sea Monster Emissary.”
“Exactly.”
Noland Lee let out a sigh of relief,
“That’s a relief. I was worried that the White Ancestral Dragon could see our every move.”
“Only the Star Gods have the ability to carry out ‘Fate Interference,'” the Assassin Angel said.
Noland Lee opened his mouth, wanting to say:
So why didn’t the Star God use ‘Fate Interference’ to release you from the Main Brain Controller…
After hesitating, Noland Lee held back this sarcastic comment.
With that, the topic was dropped, and Noland Lee sat quietly on the boat, waiting to meet Lophi.
Looking at the dark green river water outside the boat, Noland Lee gradually become lost in thought.
Truth be told, after learning about the existence of the Supreme Star Palace and the Star Gods, he couldn’t help but fantasize that he was some sort of incarnation, reincarnation, or stand-in for a Star God.
But…
His system was the ‘Deconstruction Core System,’ which had nothing to do with the Star Gods’ ability to travel through time and shuttle people around.
From this perspective, he should have no association with the Star Gods.
Yet again.
If he had no connection with the Star Gods, then how did he travel through time?
Among all the Plane Cores, deities, and forces of the Inner and Outer Starry Sky that Noland Lee knew of, it seemed only the Star Gods possessed the ability to shuttle people around, right?
Could it be that I was stuffed into the Inner Cosmos by a Star God… Noland Lee pondered internally.
But why him?
Why not someone else, like those referred to as the “Undying,” suspected Players from Outer Space?
Thinking of the “Undying,” something stirred in Noland Lee’s mind, and he asked the Assassin Angel,
“By the way, Your Excellency, are you aware of the ‘Undying’ from Outer Space?”
