Lirian looked at the systems fate particles in surprise, not even 0 .00001% of his fate particles crossed over he did the calculation in his head and estimated that he had been asleep for almost 63 trillion years this time it was the longest since he created the system.

The fate particles were the main backbone of the system, it was required to enable all its high processing power but currently, it was too low, 100-trillion fate particles is the natural amount held by any fourth-grade immortal, which meant that his processing speed wouldn't come close to a god.

The system had incidentally been inspired by the plain he had lived in as Kallidin where every being was linked to the system, his however was exceptional in its ability to wield fate, that was the core design behind his system to utilize fate particles, by using it he could avoid locking himself in a diviners esper technique, which would give him zero combat ability.

By using it he could enjoy the perks of being a diviner while being able to protect himself, he looked at his fate particles happily, which was mainly from what he had earned at the space station.

The godly essences didn't bother him too much, he had no intention to become some cheap imitation, he already found uses for the essences it would greatly aid his Nirvana body esper technique the essence of elemental affiliated creatures was a requirement and now he had the best essences he could hope for lying dormant inside his body.

He looked up at the threat detection and happily spent some of the systems resources to look into it.

[Error, Error, Error...]

Lirian frowned and looked at the messages

[Fate scry has been subverted, the strength of the interference belongs to a fifth-grade immortal, skill level is estimated to be without equal, conclusion this is the work the fate spinner Katerina, her signature fate weaving patterns were detected.]

Lirians eyes bulged out of his sockets, of course, the only threats that he could currently face would come from an eternal such as her, but still, the cost to scry was far too low if he was dealing with a fifth-grade immortal the cost should be hundreds of trillions, for Katerina one would have to multiply that number by at least a thousand if they wanted to glimpse at her plans let alone get a proper look.

He could hardly believe that he had already been detected by her despite all the counter-measures he put in place.

[An image has been retrieved as well as a timeline.]

"Bring them up," said Lirian

An image of a woman with crimson-red eyes appeared in his eyes, 'So it's Elsie,' he thought quietly the way to recognise an eternal was through their eyes once you see the colour of their eyes, you would never see a colour similar to it so if you see that same colour again it means that you are looking at an eternal, 'The Blood Monger', she was like a cockroach as far as he remembered, her attacks were quick and deadly and she could heal from a single cell with her techniques but compared to him her abilities were laughable, and the laws she specialized in were slaughter, shadow, desiccation and consumption.

Of course, she would have some new tricks up her sleeve, but so did he, he had killed her three times in the past, those eternals had a fun time attacking him in the past, during his eighteenth life, he had thought them off true terror and ever since they started to tread carefully around him but when he found the opportunity to ruin them, he did.

He didn't worry him too much but the one shielding her Katerina, gave him reason to worry about their plans, she was the only one of the eternals that he regarded as a genius on his level.

"Show me the timeline."

[1000 years, only after 1000 years the incident will not occur.]

Lirian sighed it appeared that was all he could get, in any case, a thousand years was more than enough for him to reach the pique of the mortal realm and even if all the eternals were to gang up on him in a fight, he would only feel pressured it would be far from enough to make him feel fear.

He simply needed to make sure he didn't ascend to the immortal plain ahead of time, "System are there any other threats."

[None with a high chance of lethality, and knowing these obstacles will cause a deviation, all paths of deviation lead to a horrible ending, it is advised to go on without observing these timelines.]

Lirian contemplated silently, this must be the result of my fate interference when I fled into the mortal realm, I burned up all my fate and all my treasures for a chance at optimal survivability, by doing that I burned all my other bridges and locked myself onto this path, he sighed as he thought of the implications, it felt like he bought a one-way ticket on a burning train.

There was one thing that he feared now, his optimal path didn't mean that it was optimal for the people around him, when he used up his fate, he didn't even think about the fact that he was no longer cursed or of the possibility that there may be people he'd want to protect.

The Immortal Realm

Katerina sat on her throne, the threads of fate constantly spinning around her and creating patterns, it formed a dress around her and protected her sacred body from the onslaught of time.

She had been truly surprised, something that never happened to her in the past, "My love your skill in scrying has increased by bounds without measure, but sadly you still fall short."

She reacted late and an image slipped past as well as the timeline, it was an unforeseen event and one that could damage her plans, unfortunately, she could not accelerate things any further, Elsie's death in her current plain was certain but it would take a long time before she was reborn here, it would be 900 years before she could arrive.

"Perhaps this too is fate," she quietly murmured.

Her gaze swept across the mortal plains and an idea formed, with Elsie's abilities being as great as they were she would be noticed but she needed to ensure her quick rise in the ranks, she moulded countless threads together to create a future to aid in Elsie's growth and to have her quickly accepted.

"This is all I can do for you, my love; enjoy the future I have crafted for you," she said a small smile on her lips.

Lirian had been contemplating in silence, he hadn't moved an inch since he entered the ballroom and several hours had gone by, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that the only way Elsie could pose a threat to him, was if she gained control of an entire empire and to do that, she would have to become an empress, it only served to motivate him to continue down this path as a prince candidate.

Days began to flow and within a day he was able to learn how to read, it would have taken him a month without the system but with such an efficient system he only needed minutes to understand the language.

Of course, he pretended to take a month, he didn't want to give his mother a scare, as long as the progress was gradual it wouldn't be too suspicious.

When a month passed by, he entered the library for the first time, it was massive, a fifth of the manor was used up by the library, Lirian decided to take it easy for the first few months as he read through simple books for children.

It was amazing how many cultural references were hidden in the books made for children and he spotted them all to paint himself a better picture of his current world.

The months passed by and gradually he began pulling out the big books much to the horror of the old and grey librarian that spent his entire life taking care of the books, unfortunately for him he received instructions to give Lirian access to whatever he wanted.
