Chapter 238: Chapter 236: The Events After Rolling Back

Yang Qizhou had already decided to use the power of the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune to erase all traces related to "Destiny."

Of course, before that, he didn’t forget to freeload at the Destiny Store.

If it were in the past, the items Yang Qizhou purchased would likely still focus on the Destiny Fire Bottle, supplemented by other items like False Road Marker, Fellow’s Communication, and Destiny Chain, with the prices discounted by twenty percent and placed on the Destiny Exchange.

But this time was different.

The new Destiny Achievement "God Slayer" had further unlocked new products in the Destiny Store for him, including Challenge Stickers, Teleportation Scrolls, Healing Potions, and the "Nth Destiny."

Yang Qizhou wasn’t sure how many players had further unlocked their Destiny Store’s products, but it was absolutely not many... perhaps even none. freёNovelFire.com

So this time, he was going to go big.

Subtracting the previously purchased Challenge Stickers, Yang Qizhou still had over 140,000 Old Sacrifices in hand, which he used entirely to buy Challenge Stickers, Teleportation Scrolls, Healing Potions, and the Nth Destiny. Then, he placed them in the Destiny Exchange at a markup of 200%.

As for whether this was excessive—sorry, monopolies mean you can do whatever you want.

If it weren’t for considering diminishing returns, he even planned to increase the markup four or fivefold, exploiting the entire Deceit World community.

"Lord Lamp Holder, what... what exactly are you doing? Could you please refresh the text?" The voice of the Secret Keeper reached him. When she saw the sly expression on the man before her, an unsuspecting chill crept into her heart.

Yang Qizhou, single for years, wasn’t lacking in finger speed, completing his operations in no time.

"Just a little longer..."

After casually brushing off the Secret Keeper, Yang Qizhou reopened the Destiny Exchange. At this point, the 16th Truth Hall Fragment had already dropped to 5,000 Old Sacrifices. He originally planned to wait until the afternoon to purchase it, hoping for a further price drop, but since he was going to save and load soon anyway, he figured, why not seize the opportunity and grab it now?

"You spent 5,000 Old Sacrifices to purchase the 16th Truth Hall Fragment."

With everything in order,

Yang Qizhou took a deep breath, activating the power of the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune.

The game resumed.

"You activated the power of the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune, and the scenery before you rapidly twisted, dissolved, fractured. When you opened your eyes again, you had returned to the moment of your last choice."

"At this time, those explorers from Otherworld had just finished chanting the full, divine name of the God of Pleasure and Violence. The entity, drenched in malevolent black fog, was crossing space-time from afar, descending upon the Land of Prayer Light."

"In the previous Fate Line, you had slaughtered this group. Three explorers had completely perished, victims to the merciless wizard of blasphemy. Yet again, Fate’s crossroads appeared before you."

"So, will you use the power of the Dream Hidden World Clothes to secretly take the box that calls out to you and leave Bright City?"

"Or, as you did last time, will you greet the God of Pleasure and Violence to win some favor?"

"Or perhaps, relying on your experience from the previous Fate Line, will you make an unknown choice?"

"Please make your decision."

A new option appeared?

However, Yang Qizhou’s attention was not on that. He looked quickly toward the Lamp Holder, who was seriously focused on the text on her phone without showing signs of shock like "The text reverted?" or "Did the game bug out?"

Could the effects of the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune truly synchronize reality and the game? No, it was too significant; he couldn’t rush to conclusions.

"Miss Secret Keeper, what new content was refreshed on your end of the text?"

The Secret Keeper, looking slightly grim, replied, "Lord Lamp Holder, it should be the same as yours. Among those players, someone chanted the full divine name of an Unknown Evil God—a terrifying entity known as the God of Pleasure and Violence has descended upon Bright City."

"May I take a look?" Yang Qizhou stepped toward her.

Letting other players view the text was a grave taboo. The text might involve secrets of the Game Character, and under normal circumstances, the Secret Keeper would have refused.

But this request came from the Lamp Holder...

With his mysterious and fearsome power, who in their right mind could reject his desire to read someone’s text?

The Secret Keeper’s face flickered with hesitation before she gritted her teeth and said, "Lord Lamp Holder, I can let you take a glance, but only one glance. You know the reasons behind this very well. Otherwise, our collaboration ends here."

This veiled ultimatum was almost a complete break.

Yang Qizhou hadn’t intended to pry into the Secret Keeper’s secrets, so he agreed readily.

Soon, he glimpsed the text on the Secret Keeper’s phone, where one line detailed the descent of the God of Pleasure and Violence.

It seemed the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’s save-and-load indeed synchronized the game and reality...

Yang Qizhou felt utterly reassured this time.

After soothing the somewhat wary Secret Keeper, who was rattled by the text being exposed, Yang Qizhou refocused on the text.

As for which choice to make,

The experience of the previous Fate Line was clearly the best narrative route. Yang Qizhou wasn’t about to invite unnecessary complications, so he made the same choice as before and picked "Option Two."

The game resumed.

"You were very satisfied with the gains from the previous Fate Line, and naturally, you wouldn’t make any other choices this time."

"You first asked the God of Pleasure and Violence for a favor, and this Divine Sovereign from the Mysterious Town, just as before, granted you the favor and chose to leave."

"Next, you instructed ’Void’ to annihilate all Otherworld explorers except for ’Flame Hand,’ ’Evil Infector,’ and ’Vitality Priest.’ Then, you approached a box radiating seven-colored brilliance, your eyes gleaming with excitement."

"The Ancient Roots have a unique property—you learned back in Dark Mist Town that they cannot be duplicated through save-and-load. But Destiny Replay is different; though you already possess one, who wouldn’t want more of a good thing?"

"You opened the treasure box."

"Predictably... the Old Roots of Profanation were gone."

"Unexpectedly... even Destiny Replay had vanished."

"What’s going on?"

"As confusion overtook you, a revelation from Destiny itself emerged within your mind..."

"It turns out any mystical or ancient object belonging to the Destiny realm is part of ’Destiny’ and cannot be preserved through resetting the Fate Line."

"You could not help but feel disappointed."

"Next, according to plan, you targeted the remaining ’Flame Hand,’ ’Evil Infector,’ and ’Vitality Priest.’ As in the prior Fate Line, after expending twelve Challenge Stickers, they unsurprisingly fell once more."

"Having the previous Fate Line’s insights, you knew well that ’Destiny’ wouldn’t compel the Mad Creator to act politely. Combined with the fact that you already located the God of Justice, Bright City held no further value to you. Following discussions with the Secret Keeper, you decided to depart."

"As you left, the effects of Heart Dream Source quickly faded, and the awakening Mad Creator, upon discovering the Blasphemous Lord’s Holy Object missing, let out an enraged roar, shaking the entire Land of Prayer Light to its core."

Skipping past the inconsequential details, the story advanced swiftly back to the pre-reset Fate Line node.

Naturally, Yang Qizhou didn’t forget to check his Old Sacrifices. As expected... the Old Sacrifices spent at the Destiny Store and the purchase of the 16th Truth Hall Fragment from the Destiny Exchange had all been refunded.

"Right..."

Yang Qizhou suddenly thought of something, "Now that the Fate Line is reset, could there possibly be another 16th Truth Hall Fragment in the Destiny Exchange?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately opened the Destiny Exchange... It displayed that the 16th Truth Hall Fragment had been sold, with the transaction timestamp corresponding precisely to the moment the game character used the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune to save-and-load.

"Is this attributable to the Destiny Exchange’s sales mechanics preventing duplication through save-and-load, or is it an inherent unique feature of the Truth Hall Fragment itself?"

Yang Qizhou couldn’t be sure and set the matter aside for now.

The game resumed.

"You left Bright City and returned to the wilderness of the Land of Prayer Light."

"At this moment, the Secret Keeper suddenly spoke... ’Lord Dark Crow of Profane Fortune, it must be said that you yourself are an enormous enigma. You possess a powerful follower like the Maid’s Silhouette, wield miraculous items capable of suppressing the Mad Creator, command respect from even a Divine Sovereign, and finally broke the powers of Destiny’s Blessing protecting those Otherworld explorers, truly killing them... I thought I already understood you somewhat... but clearly, I don’t know nearly enough.’"

"You had heard these words in the previous Fate Line, except without the ’you became friends with the Mad Creator’ part."

"But who doesn’t enjoy praise?"

"With a brilliant smile, you revealed to the Secret Keeper that the God of Justice resides near the Lost Heaven border, in a place called the Extreme East Land."

"’Really?’"

"Though the Secret Keeper tried to restrain her emotions, excitement flickered in her eyes."

"You nodded affirmatively."

"Without delay, preparations for departure began."

"At that moment, surreal prayers suddenly resonated by your ears."

Simultaneously,

The real-world Yang Qizhou also heard the ethereal prayers, his face shifting dramatically...
