Fate Calculator

Could it be that it only calculates the outco- Ahhh

Pausing my thoughts, I opened my dimensional ring and once again took the glowing canine tooth out.

Is this the Rank 5 Soul shield? Yes… that is indeed possible. Those words started disappearing the moment I touched this.

If I'm guessing right, the words would disappear after I get in contact with the possible reward.

After wrapping it around my hand, I nodded as I felt a slight understanding towards my cheat. I still had some doubts, I'll clear them once this happens for the next time.

Of course, I preferred a system more as that sounded more cool and understandable unlike this old thing.

But Yeah, It was still a lot better than not having a cheat.

But then, I noticed a strange symbol on the top right corner of the paper. Strangely enough, this symbol matched perfectly with something I had on me.

I stared at a golden pen in my had, after I took it out from my ring.

Yeah, they both had the same symbol of a tree's curvy roots.

As I held it properly, I carefully thought of the words that had appeared on the paper before.

It said that I saved Xiao Yating and increased the number of Shen Ming's subordinates by one. Shen Ming's subordinates referred to the 78 survivors from the Blood Moon sect. There were many others but they all ended up dying inside this realm. These 78 people will later become an army and have huge impacts in the storyline.

So… that person from before was a member of the Blood Moon sect and was actually fated to die here. I saved him, which meant that I increased the number of Shen Ming's army by one. That would bring a lot of changes in the future, considering how important those people were.

I had a guess about the pen's use and decided to check if that was it.

I placed the blank paper on a flat stone and sat beside it. After one more brief pause, I wrote.

[Ye Han kills Xin Yang.]

As I expected, new words started appearing on the paper. This time, they weren't burning.

It only burns while disappearing, huh.

[Ye Han kills Xin Yang.

Possible reward outcome: nothing]

What? How can there be nothing as reward? Xin Yang is way richer than me. He would surely have something in his ring.

It can't be that after I kill him, all his items will get destroyed, right?

After thinking for a while, I came to a possible conclusion.

If I kill him, I would probably get killed very quickly and the items I received will be of no value. Yes, that might be the reason for such an outcome.

To make sure this was it, I wrote some more words.

[Ye Han kills Nan Xifei]

Nan Xifei was one of Shen Ming's girls. She too had many treasures on her. If I kill her, Shen Ming won't let me live for the next second. As I wrote this, the previous words started burning slowly as new words started appearing.

[Ye Han kills Nan Xifei.

Possible reward outcome: nothing]

Yeah,that's it for sure. This thing is hinting that I'll die

[Ye Han Kills Lin Shu]

Lin Shu was a top genius from the corrupt path. I remembered his name because I hated him as he always troubled the protagonist and kept escaping just before getting killed. After a lot of battles with Shen Ming, he was annoyingly still alive.

It's not like I'm going to kill him as he would die at the hands of Shen Ming soon.

The Previous words started burning as new words replaced them.

[Ye Han kills Lin Shu.

Possible reward outcome: Lin Shu's storage ring.]

This was something that I expected.

Killing Lin Shu wouldn't stir up much of the storyline as he'll die here anyway. The best reward I can get is indeed his spatial ring.

Now, I almost fully understood the use of my cheat. This thing simply calculated the possible reward outcomes according to my actions.

Should I just call it the fate calculator? Yeah, That sounds good.

I didn't store it inside my ring as it was rather unsafe. One has to remember that if their dimensional ring breaks, everything inside it will stay there forever.

…

Inside a brightly lit cave, three ladies and a young man gazed at the screen before them. The ladies had an elegant aura around them as everyone's looks matched that of a goddess. They had a kind of beauty that would leave anyone in a daze. The young man looked otherworldly with his long black hair and deep scarlet eyes. His facial features were simply unmatched throughout the heavens. This sight alone was enough to stir up the minds of all men.

The visual pendant in front of them showed a fight scene.

"Not one more again."

Nan Xifei heaved a deep sigh as she said this. She was already tired of those geniuses. From the moment they stepped here, they were constantly being troubled by them. Moreover, Shen Ming was about to have a battle against Ye Han, as he publicly challenged him by killing his brother. Now, there was a new one, who just popped out of nowhere.

The appearance of a new genius wasn't any normal news. The more geniuses a path had, the likely their probability of winning. Right now, Ye Han was the number one genius of the righteous path followed by Shen Ming, while the corrupt path had Lin Shu, Cui Lanye and some others. The sudden appearance of an unknown genius became popular in no time.

However, this news was spread first among the companions of Shen Ming as Xiao Yating was a member of the Blood moon sect.

"There are two possibilities. One is that he had a fortuitous encounter inside the realm causing his strength to rise suddenly, the other is that he was hiding himself… deeply."

"The former is more likely the case. If he was hiding, why would he choose to reveal his strength now? Of course, I can't tell if he had some motives in his mind. As long as he don't cause any harm for me and my companions, I won't harm him"

Shen Ming said his thoughts.

Although this was what Shen Ming said out, his instincts were telling him the opposite. He still chose to say this as he couldn't think of any other reasons.

"Shen Ming, are you sure about defeating Ye Han?" Li Yuel asked worriedly. It wasn't the unknown genius that made her worry, but Ye Han.

Shen Ming smiled warmly after hearing this.

"I don't know. But one thing's for sure. Even if I die, I'll make sure to bring him along with me."

At that moment, a voice came from outside.

"Ahem… sisters in law, can I see brother Shen for a minute?"

…

It was in the dawn time.

I was lying on a flat stone inside my cave abode, scribbling on the fate calculator. After testing it some more time, I realised that there were other weird results besides 'nothing'. One was '???' which I received when I wrote, [Ye Han kills Shen Ming] and the other was nothing… I mean, the other showed nothing. When I wrote [Ye Han kicks a rock], it disappeared without even showing the outcome. Now, don't ask why I wrote these.

I don't know what '???' means but the latter must be that there weren't any possible reward. Whatever the former meant, I knew it wasn't for good. If the protagonist dies, the world might just collapse right away.

I realised that I hadn't eaten anything after coming here. As a cultivator at the rebirth stage, my appetite was different from that of mortals. Till now, I had been relying on pills for recovering my energy.

I took out a large portion of meat from one of my storage rings and decided to cook it. I already had several storage rings with me, which had almost everything required for living. As expected, being a rich young master came with benefits like this.

…

Dense aroma filled the cave as I stared at the meat which was being cooked using bright crimson flames, right in front of me.

This meat in front of me was that of a magical beast as normal meat wouldn't do anything for cultivators. From the looks of it, this seemed to be the leg of a large bird.

After putting out the fire, I sliced off a small portion with a dagger and savoured it. I felt my body and mind relax, fully immersed in the taste. It was so good that I ended up finishing it entirely. This portion of meat was more than enough for three people which I ate in one go.

After resting for a while, I decided to go out and test the 'Crystal Sword' out.

I descended from the hill and used Shady Steps to find a place far away from my new cave. I chose an empty place as I didn't want anyone to record me while I'm at it.

But it's almost impossible. A heaven class battle skill was meant to cause huge destruction. Doing it secretly was just not possible.

I changed my appearance once again to someone with red hair. I did so because I didn't want people to relate this person with my other disguise. I was planning on continuing the other disguise, so if people managed to find out that I had this battle skill, that'd be rather disadvantageous.

The problem was Xin Yang. As a fellow sect member and a close friend, he must know that I have this heaven class battle skill.

As per the novel, no one should be aware. During the battle against Shen Ming was the first time he used this skill. But this can't be practical here… People like the sect elders must be aware of it. In case of Xin Yang, I was uncertain.

If he knew, I'm sure he'd relate my disguise with Ye Han. I can't possibly leave out any clues, which was why I chose a new appearance. I don't care if he relates my current appearance with Ye Han, as I won't be using it anymore.

Sigh…

After changing my appearance, I took out the most powerful sword in my ring, which I named- 'Falcon'

I didn't come up with it. I just stole it from another novel.

I closed my eyes, trying my best to concentrate. I slowly raised my sword, pointing at the sky. The clouds instantly concentrated towards a single place as spiritual qi in the form of crystals filled the sky.
