The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

At that moment, all notions of national honor and the pride of genius were utterly crushed by Gu Xu's bite.

Gu Xucai couldn't be bothered with those few stray dogs who were trying to reshape their values.

His attention was now completely drawn to the "Loom of Destiny" that he had just acquired.

"Come on, let me see just how amazing this thing is."

Gu Xu rubbed his hands together, eagerly following the newly received information in his mind, and with a slight thought, he acted upon it.

It directly activated the Fate Loom talent.

Om-!

With a very slight spatial tremor, the world before Gu Xu's eyes instantly changed.

If what he had just seen was a physical world made of matter, then what he was seeing now was like entering a cyberpunk-style low-level codebase.

There was no soil, no air, and no more of those shivering, living people in the distance.

Instead, there are countless threads, like a spider web, interwoven throughout the space!

These threads, some thick and some thin, and all different colors, pierced through the void.

It connects the cause and effect and destiny of all things in the world.

Some threads are bright as light, while others are dim and cracked; some extend straight to the end of the line of sight.

Some, however, are tangled together like a mess of hemp.

"Holy crap, this is even clearer than wearing the highest-end VR glasses!"

Gu Xu couldn't help but gasp, marveling inwardly.

He tried to focus his attention on Yuri, who was not far away.

In an instant, a thick, dark blue thread clearly appeared in his eyes.

It even has countless tiny nodes shimmering on it, as if it could be touched with just a gentle touch.

That would bring this Northern League genius to his knees on the spot.

"That's way too domineering..."

Just as Gu Xu was looking around like a child who had received a new toy, he suddenly froze.

Because amidst a jumble of complicated cause-and-effect relationships, he subconsciously glanced down at his own part.

According to the explanation of talent, the main line representing each person's destiny should be the most vibrant and dazzling red.

And there is only one of them.

However, what was presented to Gu Xu at this moment completely shattered this common sense.

Two red threads actually extended from his chest!

"Huh? What's going on? Why is it buy one get one free?"

Gu Xu's eyes widened suddenly, his face completely dumbfounded.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

There were indeed two red lines, one slightly thicker, steadily extending forward along my current timeline.

The other one, however, looked rather strange; it was thinner than the main thread.

Moreover, the direction it extended was not forward, but rather vaguely pointed to some unknown depths of the void.

The most crucial thing was that Gu Xu stared intently at the second red line, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

That red line was actually wrapped in a thin, nauseating gray-black mist!

It was an extremely ominous aura, even after just a brief glance.

Gu Xu felt as if countless ants were crawling inside his heart, and an indescribable feeling of palpitation rushed straight to the top of his head.

"What the hell is this thing? Is this karma for killing too many people lately?"

Gu Xu mentally ranted, but this was clearly no funny joke.

This ominous aura entwined around the thread of fate definitely represents some kind of deadly danger.

Or it could be some kind of variable beyond his control.

Gu Xu has never been one to keep a time bomb around.

Now that the problem has been identified, we must find out where the source lies.

"I'd like to see who's been playing matchmaker for me behind the scenes!"

Gu Xu gritted his teeth, his eyes sharpening.

He mobilized all his mental energy and forcefully followed the eerie red thread that was wrapped with an ominous aura.

Tracing back to the end of the void.

The scene in his field of vision began to recede rapidly, and the dense threads around him transformed into streaks of light that swept past his ears.

Gu Xu felt his consciousness was penetrating layer after layer of spatial barriers, as if he were running wildly in an endless dark tunnel.

I don't know how much time passed; maybe a second, maybe a century.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the darkness ahead, and at the end of the thread, a blurry outline finally emerged.

Gu Xu held his breath and strained his eyes to see what it was.

Just then, the blurry outline suddenly moved.

Swish!

A pair of eyes.

Those were eyes that defied description in any human language.

It has no pupils, no whites of the eyes; what flows in its eye sockets is an absolute stillness and indifference that could freeze the entire universe.

The instant Gu Xu's gaze met those eyes—

"boom!"

Gu Xu's mind felt like it had been filled with a hundred high-explosive grenades, which then detonated simultaneously!

Unimaginable pain instantly tore through his nerves; it was a violent burning sensation that erupted from the depths of his soul.

Gu Xu's vision went black, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained in an instant. He let out a painful groan.

He staggered forward two steps uncontrollably, his knees buckled, and he almost collapsed to his knees.

My mind went completely blank, and all I could hear was the sharp buzzing of fingernails scratching a blackboard.

In that brief moment.

He even felt that his existence was almost completely erased by those eyes!

"receive!"

Relying on the powerful restorative ability brought by his old heart and the last bit of clarity, Gu Xu suddenly bit the tip of his tongue.

The exploration of the loom of fate was forcibly severed.

He was breathing heavily, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Cold sweat poured down my face like a waterfall.

Right now, it's like there's a million flies holding a concert in his head, and it's the heavy metal rock kind.

The buzzing was so loud that he could barely tell which way was up.

"What the hell kind of monster is this?!"

Gu Xu cursed inwardly.

I really let my curiosity kill the cat.

I was just casually testing my internet speed with the newly captured "Loom of Destiny" when I accidentally clicked on an indescribable Matrix server.

If this were an ordinary level 30+ professional, or even a so-called mythical genius like Caesar, it would be quite different.

That one glance we made probably made my brains pop out from under their gaze, even across the void of a higher dimension.

Fortunately, I have the concept of "Old Heart" as a passive safety net.

That's how they managed to save his life.

Even so, Gu Xu felt completely drained.

However, before he could catch his breath...

Gu Xu suddenly shuddered.

It's not the kind of chill that comes from a cold wind, but the kind of creepy feeling that comes from walking alone at night and suddenly someone blows a breath of cold air down your neck.
