After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Because if it's the latter... then there are just too many unknowns.

The teacher said he didn't like the unknown.

If it's the former, then it's simple.

The greatest significance of the character attribute panel... should be to concisely explain the rules of this world to oneself.

Its existence is more akin to an externally mounted "translator".

The character attribute panel now displays a background that Shi Yan is very familiar with... defying fate.

An incense burner.

A wisp of smoke rises gently.

And on that backdrop that resembles a starry sky, there is a pair of open eyes.

To be honest, now when Shi Yan sees the starry sky and eyes, he immediately thinks of the Garbhadhatu Mandala.

After all, the Womb Mandala uses the Milky Way as its eyes to overlook the mortal world.

But... Shi Yan knows.

The eyes on the background do not belong to the small fetal organ.

Shi Yan had always felt that those eyes were too vivid, as if there really was a pair of eyes gazing at him through the background panel behind the character attribute panel.

Gazing into those eyes, it felt as if all greed and anger would dissipate like smoke.

But now... Shi Yan saw sorrow in those eyes.

Is this the expression Loulan depicted when the fairy of Yaotai gazed at her?

Or was it an impression of Loulan's own expression?

Shi Yan believes it should be the former.

After all, in Shi Yan's impression... Loulan seemed a little too resolute.

Completely different from his carefree nature, Loulan's sword intent after gripping the sword was truly revealed: if heaven and earth were enemies, he would kill them all.

A starry night, unlike any other bright color in the past, slowly emerged from the background, a scene of "defying fate".

Shi Yan could sense that... the change in the "Defy Fate" option indicated the beginning of a certain change.

for example--

The "defying fate" of the past was a reward and commendation from this world for the advancement of cultivators' realms.

The more powerful the act of defying fate, the more dazzling its colors.

And now... that dark, "colorful black" defying fate indicates... that this world is almost no longer able to contain him.

"Teacher's words..."

"When you see this 'defying fate,' I hope you've already entered the Dao Returning Realm."

Shi Yan's eye suddenly twitched.

The Dao... the Dao what?

The next major realm after the initial opening realm is the returning to emptiness realm.

In other words, there are at least two major realms to go before reaching my current level.

"Seeing this 'defying fate' signifies that the laws of nature have already set their sights on you."

"Her soldiers are about to descend to the mortal world to complete her mission."

"That is to say..."

"An immortal descends to the mortal world to slay demons."

"Although……"

"At this point, you probably haven't reached the Dao Returning Realm yet."

"You don't even have the Void Returning Realm, do you?"

"No way, really?"

Shi Yan's eye twitched violently.

The sorrowful eyes on the backdrop seemed to have taken on a mocking tone.

"If there really isn't..."

"Then remember—"

"Do not leave the little pure color."

"Please...don't."

As the lines of writing faded away, dark, menacing characters slowly emerged from the starry night-like words "Defy Fate".

"Enemy of the Mortal World".

Just by looking at the name Shi Yan, you can probably tell what kind of "defying fate" is.

Reaching out his hand, Shi Yan gently pointed at "Red Dust Enemy".

"You have violated a taboo of this world..."

"A pact has been signed with the Heavenly Demon."

"The ancient Loulan will serve as a warning to you; the immortals are about to fall into the mortal world."

"Don't even think about running away—"

"Under the heavens and on the earth, there is nowhere left for you to hide."

"Luck value -50".

"Demonic attribute +50".

Honestly, a 50-point decrease in luck is no big deal for Shi Yan.

After all... her attribute panel only showed a luck value of 999.

But after she wore the "Fate of the Gods" ring last time.

The luck value on the character attribute panel did not change to 949, but... remained at 999.

In other words, either Shi Yan's character attributes have been locked at their limit.

The reason why Shi Yan's character attribute panel shows 999 is because this panel can only display a maximum of 999.

However, while Shi Yan was still pondering the "enemy of the mortal world".

ka ka ka-

Shi Yan suddenly felt a sharp, intense pain.

She was abruptly jolted awake from her state of focused concentration, a sharp pain piercing her heart as she reached her hand.

Shi Yan looked at the ring on her hand.

The "Fate of Pardon" ring that he had snatched from Yunmengji was now deeply embedded in his flesh, its inner teeth embedded in his flesh.

I've been locked out—

The ring that once saved his ancestor and his adoptive father from a celestial calamity.

Now it seems to have become a deadly curse, guiding that immortal who has fallen to the mortal world to hunt him down.

The tavern proprietress, whose hand was still on Shi Yan's face, hurriedly withdrew it.

Normally, the tavern owner wouldn't show such a girlish side.

Even if Shi Yan discovered that she was doing something naughty while Shi Yan was cultivating, she would just openly approach him and say... "So... what does Sister Shi Yan want?"

Phrases like, "Sister Shiyan can do whatever she wants."

Can--

This time is different.

The tavern owner had just called Shi Yan a name that was almost shameful.

She didn't even know if Shi Yan had heard her.

"Wh...what's wrong?" The tavern owner stared at Shi Yan nervously.

But he found that Shi Yan was just staring blankly at his hands.

She followed Shi Yan's gaze downwards, and then... she saw...

On Shi Yan's hand, there was a ring that was slowly seeping blood.

The tavern owner's face suddenly turned very ugly.

at the same time--

From the avatar standing atop the Thunder Crystal Wasteland, a girl's clear, cold voice also rang out.
