Bai He was somewhat puzzled by your lack of reaction.

Why don't you feel joy? Are you just naturally averse to smiling?

"Of course not, because I know you'll just give me despair anyway and kill me."

You shook your head: "Do you think I don't know what you are?"

Bai He: "...Then you are indeed very clever."

"I'm getting curious, you seem to have quite a few problems."

He stroked his chin: "However, given your current state of resistance, it seems a bit troublesome to get an answer directly from you."

[“I’ve had my fill of those guys before, but I’ll give you a good time this time. Let me see what you’re made of—”]

【"Um!?"】

Bai He's body trembled violently, his eyes widened, and he retreated repeatedly, his eyes filled with terror.

"This, this is impossible! Who are you?! Who are you?! Who are you?!"

You had never seen such an expression on his face before: an expression of fear.

Bai He's worldview seemed to have been shattered. He shouted, "This is fake! You're absolutely fake! You're forging this! You're deceiving me!"

He slapped it at me.

That future then turned pitch black, representing your death.

【Now.】

You rubbed your temples, guessing what was wrong with Bai He's unusual reaction.

"That guy, he read my memories out of curiosity, and then got so scared that he acted like that?"

"Hmm... that's the only possibility."

"I saw a rather strange and mysterious young man who, despite extreme misfortune, managed to survive for two hours unscathed through his own strength, and seemed to know something about him."

"So Bai He directly performed a soul search on that future version of myself."

"He knew everything."

"He knew I had a simulator, he knew I was predicting the future, and he discovered that he was now merely a fictional character in a foreseen future."

[“He discovered he couldn’t transfer his memories back to the past, or rather, to the ‘present.’ He realized he had completely offended me, and he knew that with my cunning, I would definitely seek revenge against him relentlessly.”]

"He panicked, he panicked, he was terrified!"

"He guessed... that I was the juvenile form of the Lord of Time, or even a being of a higher dimension!"

"He had no way of knowing about my existence in advance; he couldn't have erased me or my original body in the past."

"He knew perfectly well that he would die by my hand in the future!"

You let out a soft sigh, a hint of satisfaction in your eyes.

"You son of a bitch, so you're scared now!"

"Too late!"

"Win, a slight victory!"

Although this is just a hypothetical victory, you think it's pretty close to the truth.

Although it only happened in a fictional future, you still won a small victory, and you still managed to show Bai He fear!

The last time Bai He suffered a setback was when the Eleventh Elder did it, stripping him of his true nature.

[Next, you continue to foresee the future and gather intelligence.]

[You learned that when Bai He began to unleash calamities upon the beings of the Yuantian Realm, Bei Chenguang and the other ten, including the original five ancient immortals... were all gone.]

"Hasn't that already been mentioned before?"

"Oh right, that was just the message the simulator showed me. Even if Twelve saw the Dao principles, they might not necessarily think that they are all dead."

[You also know that Baihe's small power of destiny... is truly useless to you!]

[He hadn't been keeping a close eye on the Yuan Tian Realm before, and assumed you had escaped misfortune time and time again through your own efforts, but he never imagined that misfortune had never actually befallen you!]

His authority over destiny, bestowed upon him by the Lord of Fate, one of the Nine Dao Lords, is utterly useless against you!

In some future scenarios, you will even actively cooperate with him.

[You'll find that neither bad luck nor good luck can affect you.]

You seem to be immune to fate.

Those influences can only affect you indirectly at most.

For example, in the tenth simulation back then, your presence delayed the development of North Star and Sunrise.

[Under normal circumstances, the aura emanating from Bei Chenguang and Xiangyang should subtly alter your thinking, gradually making you want to let go of your two adopted sons and allow them to travel and level up.]

However, luck cannot affect your will.

Therefore, it could only intervene in the external world, getting the three sea kings to take action, causing changes in the world, and thus enabling Bei Chenguang and his companion to grow amidst the great upheaval.

In that situation, you weren't a chosen target, but rather someone who hindered the achievement of destiny's goal, someone indirectly destined to be eliminated!

Just as a normal person wouldn't use a knife to strike a stone, the stone cannot be targeted unless someone makes the stone into armor and wears it. In that case, when the knife is meant to strike that person, it will strike the stone first.

In the future you foresee in this simulation, reducing your luck won't work on you because misfortune can't directly target you!

Yun Shou: "..."

He seemed to have figured it out.

In short, Bai He, the so-called Lord of Destiny, has no effect on his excessive power.

He cannot be directly affected by good or bad luck, his thinking will not be altered, his intelligence will not be reduced, and he will not even suffer inexplicable bad luck.

However, it will be indirectly affected.

For example, if Lao Shi was killed by Hai Wang, it doesn't mean that Yun Shi's luck was reduced, which is why he was killed. His luck has never changed; he has always been an ordinary person.

However, he blocked the path of Bei Chenguang and the other two's rapid growth. The Sea King appeared for the good fortune of Bei Chenguang and the others, to help those two chosen ones grow faster, not to cause Yun Shi's unfortunate death!

In yet another future, Bai He clapped his hands: "Congratulations on surviving countless misfortunes and living to see two hours later."

You: "What misfortune? I haven't felt any misfortune at all."

[Bai He: "???"]

[Afterwards, you kindly reminded Baihe to conduct further experiments.]

Bai He is genuinely curious about why you're considered an unlucky person.

Thanks to your superb acting skills and proactive cooperation, he didn't directly perform a soul search on you as he did in the future.

[Directly searching for souls is too boring. He travels around for fun, playing for the sake of playing, focusing on the game experience and the feeling of exploring the story, not clicking the one-click completion button just to rack up victory counts.]
