Chapter 238: Chapter 237 Destiny Manipulation

"Why I suddenly had this idea is itself very baffling to me, with no clue whatsoever," the fox mother thought, but Zhang Yanhang knew the real reason behind it. The fox mother had been influenced, or rather ’blessed,’ by a multiple-choice interference.

Having been ’blessed’ by the multiple-choice, the blessed target would succeed with a 100% success rate in completing the tasks marked in the option, until all the contents listed there were fulfilled, at which point the ’blessing’ from the multiple choice would disappear.

It could be said that once a choice was made, the ’blessed’ target would act like a stage actor who had received the script in advance, perfectly achieving their objectives and missions within the pre-planned story outline.

For others, knowing they could become puppets on strings due to Zhang Yanhang’s choices at any time would surely provoke a rather horrifying reaction.

However, compared to others, as the Heavenly Destiny Master, Zhang Yanhang was the one who enjoyed being ’blessed’ the most often, yet he didn’t feel any repulsion towards becoming a puppet.

Because all of this was based on his own choices. Multiple Choice was merely responsible for executing his commands and carrying out his will.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang suddenly understood why his profession was ’Heavenly Destiny Master.’ As he advanced in rank, he could easily manipulate others’ destinies and even the destiny of the world, becoming the sole master over the river of fate.

Yet these things still felt far off for Zhang Yanhang at present. He felt he could freely manipulate others’ destinies, but not until the next month. Though he had just advanced to the Second Tier, he estimated that advancing to the Third Tier wouldn’t be too difficult—it should only take about two or three weeks, at most a month.

And to reach the Fourth Tier, he guessed it would take another month. Therefore, two months later, he should be able to initially manipulate the destiny of some matters.

Since it had taken him only half a month to reach the Second Tier, Zhang Yanhang felt that advancing to the Third and Fourth Tiers should not waste too much time either—after all, it was just a matter of killing monsters in an orderly progression.

As long as he wasn’t fighting against monsters from a higher tier than his current one, like taking on a Peak Third Tier Lord Monster right after he had just advanced to the Second Tier, the whole clearing process should remain relatively easy and enjoyable.

Especially since the next place Zhang Yanhang planned to clear was the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, a low-level area primarily consisting of First Tier Monsters. Logically speaking, the lord monster of this area shouldn’t possibly be of the Third Tier. Zhang Yanhang estimated that the lord monster in the Crimson Iron Ant Nest would at most be a Second Tier Four Stars.

Unless the lord monster in the Crimson Iron Ant Nest also possessed multi-stage transformation abilities like a Tracker, it could never reach the Third Tier. Monsters with multi-stage transformation abilities like Trackers were certainly rare, not something any lord monster could just replicate.

...

After diligently researching for a while, Zhang Yanhang finally found a way to deactivate passive skills. After successfully deactivating the Supreme Will Skill, he asked the fox mother to try again.

Regrettably, this attempt was still ineffective.

The main reason was that Zhang Yanhang’s Intelligence Attribute was too high, as increasing the Intelligence Attribute naturally boosts resistance against such attacks.

The fox mother, being a First Tier Monster, was limited by her rank to only a bit more than twenty intelligence points. Her Dream Creation Spell trying to affect a Second Tier Awakened like Zhang Yanhang, who had an Intelligence Attribute of forty-two, proved to be quite difficult.

Still not giving up, Zhang Yanhang thought of another method. He took out a crimson pear from his waist bag and handed it to the fox mother, "Eat this and see if the spell you cast afterward can affect me."

This crimson pear was a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that Zhang Yanhang had found during a random encounter previously. It could rapidly increase one’s cultivation, useful for both humans and monsters.

However, Zhang Yanhang’s Limitless Universe Skill had already advanced to the Peak First Tier when he found it, so the treasure was useless to him at the time and hence, had been kept aside.

When the fox mother sensed the dense Spiritual Power emanations from the crimson pear, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She started munching on the crimson pear immediately after receiving it, and quickly devoured the entire pear in no time, not even sparing the seeds—she chewed them all up and swallowed them.

After consuming the crimson pear, the fox mother immediately started her cultivation technique to absorb the medicinal power within. In no time, her aura began to climb steadily, her power rising from about First Tier Eighth Layer to Peak First Tier all at once.

Having swiftly reached the Peak First Tier by consuming a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, the fox mother didn’t offer any redundant thanks but resumed casting the Dream Creation Spell directly, knowing full well that this was the only thing the boss needed from her—if not for this, he wouldn’t have helped her improve her cultivation.

The fox mother’s fluffy black paw lit up with a white beam of light again. Compared to before, the Dream Creation Spell she now cast was noticeably larger and brighter, indicating an increase in its intensity along with the increase in its caster’s power.

Previously, the white beam was only as thick as a ping pong ball, but now it was as thick as a water cup, and its brightness had epochally advanced from incandescent light to LED light.

Under Zhang Yanhang’s expectant gaze, this white light that was initially attached to the fox mother’s paw rapidly invaded his brain via his forehead, and then... just disappeared.

Yes, embarrassingly enough, even though her strength had been elevated to the level of a Peak First Tier, the fox mother’s Dream Creation Spell still failed to have any effect on Zhang Yanhang. There was truly not a single effect.

The only sensation Zhang Yanhang experienced the entire time was a sudden chilling feeling in the back of his head, which vanished in a moment.

"Did you not use your full strength?" Zhang Yanhang asked the fox mother with a very ’kind’ look.

The fox mother hastily shook her head and laid her body flat on the bed, "I really did use all my strength, but you’re just too strong. Unless I advance to the Second Tier, with my shallow cultivation, it’s simply impossible to affect you across tiers."
