Chapter 724: King of Fate

In Yunxiao's imitation Alliance long-range giant ship, several people sat in the VIP lounge, the atmosphere silent.

Although there was the comfort of drinks and light music, this could not change their current mood.

In the end, Yunxiao was the first to speak.

"Zhang Jie, this matter, how to report it to the Star Sea Hall Star Sea Hall."

As an interstellar peace organization, the Star Sea Hall will lend a hand. But Zhang Jie actually does not want them to intervene.

"This is still spreading; the longer we drag it out, the harder it is to clean up."

"Hmm."

Crossing his arms, he nodded slightly, indicating agreement.

"I will handle this matter."

Zhang Jie said in a low voice, in the simulation he had at least studied this pollution for a period of time; this thing is highly related to will.

As long as the will is strong enough, you can turn it around and use it.

Strictly speaking, it is not something bad; it's just too powerful for any organism to make good use of it.

"Are you sure?"

"I've already thought it through."

Zhang Jie raised his head, his gaze firm.

"This is trouble caused by my people."

"Reporting to the Star Sea Hall is not to have them intervene and solve it, but to have them protect other weak civilizations."

"We cannot let casualties expand again."

Zhang Jie said, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

The young aunt and Weiniya lowered their heads, remaining silent; this matter was caused by the two of them.

Yunxiao nodded, agreeing.

"Indeed, we shouldn't let innocents suffer such disaster."

"After returning, I will produce troops, fully unleashing the war machine's production capacity, making as many soldiers as possible; using lives to fill it is not worthwhile, use steel instead, fill it until it can't gnaw any further."

"Produce troops?"

Zhang Jie raised his eyebrows.

"You say that as if you're playing a strategy game."

"Pretty much."

Yunxiao tugged at the corner of his mouth, sort of smiling.

"If you can't win in the game, what do you do? Produce troops, pile up numbers. When numbers reach a certain level, quantitative change inevitably leads to qualitative change."

"Anyway, the war machines don't die; if they die, just rebuild them."

"Alright."

Zhang Jie nodded, said no more; he always felt at ease with Yunxiao handling things.

"Ally, can we produce more Primordial Relic Sheds?"

Suddenly, she spoke.

Zhang Jie glanced at her; this Deep Space Knight, the strongest leader in history, invincible for thousands of years, has been suffering setbacks these past months, yet it's no surprise she wants to become stronger.

"No problem."

"It's just her own corpse chunks; however much she wants, she can have!"

Smiling, she nodded.

"Thank you."

"It's rare for her to say something polite."

They chatted a few more sentences, finalizing their subsequent plans.

"Reporting to the Star Sea Hall is Zhang Jie's matter; producing troops is Yunxiao's; becoming stronger is the young aunt's."

Zhang Jie kept these arrangements in mind, then turned his gaze to the corner.

Weiniya remained silent.

From the moment she entered this room, she sat quietly in the corner, listening to their discussion without uttering a word.

Only then did Zhang Jie notice her face looked somewhat bitter.

Paying tribute to the legendary loss king Weiniya, who has been losing from the start to now, completely lacking any shining moments, a pitiful little thing.

"Weiniya."

He called out.

Weiniya lowered her head, dazed for two seconds before realizing he was calling her.

"Teacher...."

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, teacher."

She said, lowering her eyes.

"You guys just discuss; I'll listen."

Zhang Jie looked at her, and suddenly understood.

Among these people, Yunxiao wants to produce troops, the young aunt wants to become stronger; each has their own direction.

Only she, a killer who has lived a hundred years, standing before that endless horde of monsters, feels for the first time how useless she is.

She isn't fine; she just doesn't know what she should do.

"You also have your own thing."

Zhang Jie spoke, his tone flat, yet very resolute.

"Huh?"

Weiniya lifted her head.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you guys."

Zhang Jie suddenly changed the subject.

"Those things are called high-dimensional energy, an extremely powerful form of energy."

"Normal lifeforms and matter cannot withstand its power; that boundless flesh must be the remains of a sacrificed knight."

Zhang Jie looked at his aunt, who nodded.

"We indeed sacrificed a knight companion whose foundation was blood disaster."

"So the situation is basically cleared up; there actually aren't any monsters in there."

"But rather a pitiful person contaminated by it."

Zhang Jie looked at Weiniya.

"And this high-risk energy isn't entirely bad; everything has two sides."

"As long as one has the power to control it, it can be turned into one's own aid."

"Weiniya, I can let you try it."

"These words are more effective than any comfort; instead of giving meaningless comfort, it's better to pave a path to strength for Weiniya."

"Teacher...."

"You already call me teacher, what else is there to say?"

Zhang Jie smiled; being a teacher, imparting doctrine and teaching is normal.

Weiniya looked at him for a long time, finally exhaling softly, her shoulders relaxing bit by bit.

".... Thank you, teacher."

She nodded, saying no more.

Zhang Jie gazed at the starry sky, silent, not knowing how those two mercenaries were faring.

Hope they don't die.

Late at night, Zhang Jie sat alone in the rest cabin.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into that familiar darkness.

The simulator's panel lit up slowly.

"Achievement rewards settled; next, scoring rewards...."

"In this observation and time simulation, you received an SSS rating!"

"Reward one: 5000 simulation points, 100 universal attribute points"

"Hmm, not bad."

Zhang Jie raised his eyebrows, but there was no joy on his face; no matter how many points, they couldn't solve the spreading contamination before him.

"Detected that the host has repeatedly contacted high-dimensional energy and pollution sources in this simulation; now sorting...."

"Reward two: Unlock purchasing rights for technology, items, and abilities of the temporal ascension system and high-dimensional ascension system!"

"That's actually kind of interesting."

Zhang Jie rubbed his chin. If he could master the temporal system, he might truly be able to make something of time.

"Reward three: the mark"

"Acquisition condition: In the simulation, break free from the predetermined fate cycle, and unify across countless timelines!"

"Additional achievement (X) 'King of Fate': Because you continually break fate, continually jump out of reincarnation, continually modify the world, you have gained the continual gaze of some existence; from now on, your every action lies within his sight, and he regards you as the heir of fate."

"Whoa..."

Zhang Jie sucked in a breath of cold air, what's an X‑level achievement? And what's this continual gaze of a mysterious entity?

"This is insane..."
