After Li Ning left, Xie Wei lay on the sofa, looking at the empty room with a sense of melancholy, unsure how to explain to Xu Daiwei that his heart was in turmoil.
"Ding!" The long-absent, cold voice sounded again, "Congratulations, host, for successfully changing the fate of the female lead—Li Ning. Rewards: Li Ning's original fate map, realm upgrade, cultivation technique 'Stabilizing the Spirit,' and 1 fragment of the spirit sword 'Dragon Slayer.'"
"The female lead!" Xie Wei immediately sat up upon hearing the first half of Xie Lan's sentence, exclaiming in surprise, "So Li Ning really is the female lead!"
"Look at your own destiny chart, why are you talking so much?" Xie Lan replied to Xie Wei irritably, as if something had just happened that made Xie Lan angry.
Xie Wei clicked on Li Ning's destiny chart:
[Li Ning, Han ethnicity, 20 years old, destined to be the female lead. The Li Ning in the photo is the same age as she is now, wearing the same dark green night clothes she wore when we first met. The only difference is that she seems even colder, and her eyes seem devoid of emotion, like a robot. Just like Xu Daiwei back then.]
The current Li Ning is more emotional, and she can express her worries, likes, and love. This makes Xie Wei feel a little emotional, as she still prefers the current Li Ning.
She was abandoned by her parents as a girl and became an orphan. At a young age, she was adopted by the Lord of the Underworld and entered a training camp, becoming a member of the Underworld. As she grew up, her hard work led to her achievements far surpassing those of others, and she became a prospective Holy Maiden of the Underworld, beginning her trials.
She went through many trials before finally becoming the Holy Maiden of the Underworld, the next ruler of the Underworld. At that time, her cultivation level was in the late stage of the Acquired Realm.
Her first assassination target after becoming a saintess was a big shot from a certain country. She ran into trouble because he had three bodyguards at the late stage of the Acquired Realm and one at the peak of the Acquired Realm.
By chance, she ran into Ye Yan, who shared the same goal at the time, and the two began to cooperate. During the process, Ye Yan's intelligence and skills impressed Li Ning, and she became more curious about him.
After completing the mission and returning to the underworld, he saw Ye Yan's information on the dark web bounty list. After taking on the task, he went to the Dragon Kingdom, found Ye Yan, and told him the information. He left and returned to the underworld without waiting for Ye Yan to finish dealing with the Chen family.
The third time they met was when Ye Yan was taken to the Underworld by the Asuras to undergo the test of the Asura Saint Son. Ye Yan passed the test and became the Asura Saint Son.
Compared to the Lord of the Manor and Shura, Li Ning thought she would also be with Ye Yan. Although she had no feelings for Xie Wei afterward, she still followed Ye Yan and became his blade.
They will all be destroyed together after Ye Yan destroys the world.
After reading it, Xie Wei didn't say anything, but his brows furrowed slightly. In the end, Li Ning was still a heartless killing machine, which made Xie Wei feel a little uncomfortable.
Xie Wei sat on the sofa, silent for a long time, then asked, "Xie Lan, what kind of karmic consequences must one bear for changing the female lead's fate?"
Xie Wei made up his mind. Since Li Ning's original fate would lead to that outcome, he might as well change this wretched fate himself, even if it meant bearing the consequences of changing his destiny.
Xie Wei wasn't someone with an excessively compassionate heart; it was just that he had spent so much time with Li Ning. He felt that Li Ning was doing quite well now, and if he were to ask himself if he could bring himself to change her back to the way things were originally planned, Xie Wei knew he couldn't do it.
If he had no connection with Li Ning, even if he knew this information, just knowing that Li Ning was the female lead would make Xie Wei avoid her and he wouldn't want to change anything.
"Since it is your karma, how could I possibly know?" Xie Lan said calmly.
Hearing Xie Lan's answer, Xie Wei didn't seem surprised. He just sighed and thought about how to explain the problem to Xu Daiwei first, and let the rest take its course.
The concept of cause and effect pervades all phenomena, both worldly and otherworldly, encompassing the universe. Cause and effect involves both worldly and otherworldly matters, and applies to all phenomena in our human realm, the underworld, and the heavens. There is no place, no event, that is without cause and effect.
The cause you create may have already had its effect without your knowledge.
"Hmm?" Xie Wei was thinking about Li Ning and didn't notice the system's reward, so he didn't notice the changes in his body. The spiritual energy naturally entered his body and circulated smoothly.
His body was like a vortex, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. Xie Wei quickly recited the mental cultivation method of "Chaos" to stabilize his mind and body.
This spiritual energy should have helped Xie Wei break through to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, but Xie Wei forcibly suppressed it to the peak of the Acquired Realm. He has been breaking through too quickly these days, which, as I mentioned before, is not a good thing.
After calming his breathing, Xie Wei looked at the other rewards issued by the system.
"Calming the Mind" is a technique related to mental power. Unlike "Red Dust," it can be applied to actual combat and can be mastered simply through diligent practice. Unlike "Red Dust," which has obscure and difficult-to-understand sentences, "Calming the Mind" is a technique that can be applied to actual combat.
The function of "Stabilizing the Mind" is to interfere with other people's mental attacks by releasing mental power. For example, Xie Wei's mental power is like silk threads, and he only needs to weave a net to resist or interfere with it.
The only drawback is that one's cultivation level must be one realm higher than the opponent's. Here, cultivation level refers to physical cultivation, not mental strength. This allows cultivators who focus on physical cultivation to be unaffected by mental attacks, which can be considered an advantage.
After reading the introduction to "Stabilizing the Spirit", Xie Wei has said "A product of the system is bound to be a masterpiece, Xie Lan, you're awesome" countless times.
In reality, techniques that utilize mental power for both attack and defense are extremely rare. Such techniques cannot be valued in monetary terms; a single sentence might be worth a fortune.
Xie Wei shifted his gaze to the remaining reward: a fragment of the spirit sword "Dragon Slayer." Xie Wei was somewhat curious.
While weapons and magical artifacts do exist in reality, most are flawed or worn-out and don't significantly enhance one's strength. In general, once someone breaks through to the mortal realm, they can materialize their spiritual energy.
