Detected — The Strongest Destiny System

Everyone has their own [fate].

Everyone is bound by their [fate].

No one can control their [fate].

But...

Zixuan is different.

As the possessor of the strongest Fate System, she has broken free from fate and become its master.

The threads of destiny for every person are laid bare before her eyes.

With a flick of her finger, she can turn an ordinary person into someone extraordinary.

Or reduce those destined for wealth to utter poverty.

Over the centuries, aside from completing the system's tasks,

she has quietly toyed with the threads of people's fates.

Sometimes, she even takes a liking to certain individuals and weaves a thread of prosperity into their otherwise tragic destinies.

The thrill of controlling others' fates is intoxicating.

Yet... over time, even this pleasure has begun to bore her.

After all, as the living embodiment of [Fate] in the mortal world,

she cannot leave the realm of fate, forever confined to this liminal space.

No one can touch her, and she, in turn, cannot touch the physical world.

Mu He, the head of the Martial Arts Alliance in Illusory Star City,

is the target of her current mission—to protect him.

Zixuan stands atop the tallest building in Illusory Star City,

her gaze piercing through layers of barriers as if she could see Mu He directly.

"Honestly unbelievable... someone has tangled his fate threads into such a mess."

Her voice carries a hint of fascination.

For years,

she has never encountered anyone capable of altering another's fate.

But now, she has.

Originally, Mu He's fate was to sacrifice others to revive his beloved Qing'er.

Yet he would soon discover a cruel truth:

Qing'er would return, but not as a normal girl—instead, as a monstrous being.

Though she retained her consciousness, she required regular feeding.

Mu He would later sustain her with his own blood,

and together, they would rise to become the Martial Arts Alliance's strongest warriors.

As for those he sacrificed...

Well, they were inconsequential.

After all, Mu He was this world's Chosen One, blessed by the heavens.

The lives of a few ants could never disrupt his grand destiny.

He would gain many friends, and they would understand his reasons for the sacrifices.

Because sacrificing others to revive a loved one? That's just a beautiful tale of devotion.

You know, the whole "He killed many, but I believe he's a good person" kind of thing.

But...

"Tsk tsk..."

Zixuan's eyes flicker with amusement as she observes the two figures inside the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters.

"How interesting..."

These two nearly shattered Mu He's original fate entirely.

Truly fascinating.

If not for the system's warning, prompting her to arrive early,

who knows what might have happened to Mu He's destiny?

At the critical moment, she intervened—shifting his [Death Thread] into a [Life Thread].

Mu He couldn't unleash his power, but his beloved did in his stead.

Thus, he was saved.

But it wasn't enough.

Now...

Zixuan hovers midair, her eyes glowing violet as she studies Mu He's fate threads.

Then her gaze shifts to Qin Luo and Su Muwan. She licks her lips and murmurs,

"Let's see if you two can bring me some entertainment."

After all, this is a rare system mission.

...

"What?! How did he escape?!"

Su Muwan is stunned.

He got away like that??

Qin Luo merely raises an eyebrow, glancing in the direction Mu He vanished.

A smirk tugs at his lips. "Interesting."

"Hey, hey—how is this interesting?!"

Su Muwan groans. "Last time was the same. Every time we try to deal with a T0, someone shows up to save them."

Qin Luo nods. "That's because their luck is high—favored by the heavens. But Mu He is different."

"There's something off here."

He tries to calculate, but nothing comes to him.

Then—

[I'll kill you! I swear I'll kill you!]

A furious roar echoes through the air.

Qin Luo and Su Muwan look up simultaneously.

The once-plain wall before them is now overgrown with vines, twisting into a massive maw.

It shrieks, "I'll never forgive those who hurt Xiao He—!"

Boom!

Su Muwan hurls a blast of icy spiritual energy, shattering the wall instantly.

But as the debris falls, it transforms into writhing plants.

She frowns. "What the hell is this?"

Qin Luo turns his attention outside.

The modern cityscape is rapidly morphing before their eyes.

Skyscrapers are engulfed in emerald vines, windows stretching into enormous petals, streetlights contorting into thick floral stems.

The air is thick with the cloying scent of flowers, yet it carries an oppressive weight.

At the city's heart, all the plant-like matter converges, forming a colossal blossom.

Towering over a hundred meters, its petals shimmer with an eerie glow, its pulsating energy making the entire city tremble.

Monsters burst from the soil around the flower—twisted, thorn-covered abominations reeking of decay.

They howl, charging toward Qin Luo and Su Muwan.

Meanwhile, the giant flower seems sentient. From its core, Mu He's voice blends with Qing'er's, snarling:

[No one will harm Xiao He! No one will tear us apart!]

Are these two insane??

Qin Luo sighs. "We’ll have to bill the Alliance for demon extermination later."

"How could headquarters miss an entire demon-infested city?"

Su Muwan clicks her tongue, ice crystals swirling in her palm. "What’s Mu He thinking? Reviving his girlfriend doesn’t mean turning a city into a jungle."

"I was planning to wrap this up fast and enjoy some leisure time."

"Leisure will have to wait," Qin Luo says.

Just as he prepares to strike—

[Alert: Host of the "Strongest Fate System" detected!]

[Master, please capture this system!]

Hm? Wait.

Qin Luo pauses, then grins in realization.

His fingers press against his face, barely containing his excitement.

Heh... so that’s it.

His smirk widens uncontrollably. "Hey, princess."

"Yeah?"

"Now... we can really have some fun."

"??"
