The Ruler of Fate Reappears! Change Fate?

Xia Family.

Living room...

Just as Ye Lingshuang went to the kitchen to have a heart-to-heart with Xia Qingyan, Su Bai suddenly felt restless and very anxious.

He was both anticipating and somewhat afraid.

He hoped Xia Qingyan would accept his marriage proposal.

But... he was also afraid she would refuse.

Suddenly, an ethereal voice came from an unknown place, echoing in his ears, as if a call from the depths of his Soul.

"child..."

The voice was exceptionally clear, yet he couldn't distinguish its gender.

Su Bai was slightly startled, sensing a familiar essence within it.

He asked, surprised:

"You are... the previous Ruler of Destiny???!!!"

However, the ethereal voice did not reply.

The next moment, Su Bai's vision went black, and he collapsed onto the sofa.

Once his consciousness regained clarity, he found himself in... an unknown space.

Su Bai slowly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a boundless Void Realm; there was neither sky nor ground here.

Even the sense of up, down, left, and right was blurred.

Aside from its primary black color, it greatly resembled the "Judgment Space."

But Su Bai knew very well—

This was absolutely not the "Judgment Space"!

—Because he hadn't used the 【judgment of fate (sword name)】.

Here, faint mists also permeated the surroundings, but they were silver, like a thin veil, enveloping the entire space.

Occasionally, faint specks of light flickered within these mists, like distant stars, or perhaps some unknown life quietly moving.

Su Bai was a little surprised; he looked down at his hands and found that his body was semi-transparent, as if merged with this space. There was no solid ground beneath his feet, yet he stood steadily, as if an invisible force supported him.

Although this place was very mysterious, he felt no fear.

After frowning, Su Bai tried walking a few steps forward. Soon, he noticed that the Void Realm beneath his feet rippled like water into which a stone had been cast, but it quickly returned to calm.

"child!"

Hearing the voice, Su Bai sharply turned around and looked up. He then saw a handsome figure hovering not far above him.

It was a middle-aged man, clad in a silver-white robe, its sleeves fluttering without wind, as if he were one with this space.

His appearance... greatly resembled a Grand Mage from a certain popular game.

His face was handsome and profound, with an indescribable majesty and benevolence in his brows. His eyes were like two brilliant stars, soft and deep, as if they could easily see through everything.

Seeing the other party, Su Bai's heart trembled instantly.

A name flashed through his mind—

【Ruler of Destiny】!!!

"You... are... That One 【Ruler of Destiny】????" Su Bai asked tentatively, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and slowly descended before Su Bai.

His movements were elegant and composed.

He nodded, his voice deep and gentle:

"Yes, child. I am the previous Ruler of Destiny!"

Su Bai carefully scrutinized the man, filled with astonishment.

He remembered that last time in his dream, he could only hear the other party's voice, but this time, the other party appeared in a complete form!

He had to admit, he felt an inexplicable sense of pressure.

Moreover, he always felt... like a Little Girl without clothes, completely seen through!

Su Bai couldn't help but ask:

"Senior..."

"Why are you here?"

"Aren't you..."

Su Bai was very puzzled.

Didn't the previous 【Ruler of Destiny】 dissipate?

Meaning, he died.

Why did he reappear?

Upon hearing this, the Ruler of Destiny laughed heartily:

"Haha, speaking of which, it's all thanks to you!"

"After last time, my power had originally dispersed completely..."

"But as your strength steadily increased, I actually..."

At this point, the Ruler of Destiny seemed a little embarrassed.

After a light cough, he continued, blushing:

"Cough!"

"During my slumber, for some unknown reason, the 【Mark of Destiny】 that I had left in your Sea of Consciousness, intended as a guide for you to the God Realm, suddenly absorbed an extremely powerful energy!"

"And then... then I woke up."

"Even... my strength has returned to its Peak."

Having said that, the Ruler of Destiny felt a bit awkward.

He always felt... like a thief.

Although it wasn't his active choice to steal the energy.

But it was indeed stolen.

What a sin!

To think he, so wise throughout his life... would commit such an act!

His reputation was ruined!

Hearing the answer, Su Bai remained silent.

He didn't think the other party absorbed his energy.

He was only at the Eighth Stage Mid-level now.

And the Ruler of Destiny... conservatively estimated, was at least in the Chaos Realm!

Perhaps even higher!

His meager energy wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap between the Ruler of Destiny's teeth.

And for him, it was considered extremely powerful energy... Haha!

Without a doubt, it must have been "Xia Xue"!

Which is to say, the Creation Mother Goddess.

So... this must have happened during the last possession, right?!

Having figured this out, Su Bai decided to voice his question:

"Alright, Senior, why have you brought me here?"

The Ruler of Destiny smiled, gently raising his hand. The surrounding silver mist quickly gathered, forming a series of images. In the images... was displayed... all of Su Bai's experiences from his previous life!!!

From the day he Awakened his S-grade Talent, 【Flame War Body】, on his College Entrance Examination day, all the way to his solo journey into the starry sky and his assassination by the Succubus Elder!

Su Bai watched these scenes, a mix of emotions churning in his heart.

Watching Su Bai's complex expression, the Ruler of Destiny slowly spoke:

"child, are you a Reincarnator?"

Hearing this, Su Bai felt a bit speechless.

How did it seem like everyone... knew he was a Reincarnator?

It was too absurd!

"Damn it!"

Hearing Su Bai curse, the Ruler of Destiny chose to ignore it.

Then, with a grave expression, he spoke:

"child, you don't need to deny it."

"According to my deduction..."

"Someone has changed your destiny!"

After saying that, the Ruler of Destiny raised his hand again, and the surrounding silver mist gathered once more, forming a series of images. This time, the images showed... a void of particles!

And besides the void particles, there was nothing else!

Previously, he had measured Su Bai's previous life's destiny... and the second time, he measured Su Bai's destiny in this life!

In other words... Su Bai's destiny in this life was completely immeasurable!

For the Ruler of Destiny, this was—

A subversion of his understanding!

Given his Realm... for such a result to occur... there were only three possibilities:

One: The inferred target is a deceased entity that once had life.

Two: Su Bai's destiny was altered and concealed by someone whose strength surpassed his!

Three: Su Bai himself is very special, possessing an extremely high Soul rank.

One: Directly excluded.

Because he was currently inferring the destiny of Su Bai in this life, and Su Bai in this life was, at least for now, alive and kicking.

Two: Most likely.

This could be vaguely inferred from the massive energy that awakened and fully restored him. Therefore... Su Bai has always been watched!

Three: Possible, but the probability is relatively low.

However, generally speaking, it's unlikely for beings born in this Universe... to have a higher Soul rank than him.

Otherwise... this Universe would be the first to collapse under the strain.

It would automatically fall apart.

So the probability is relatively low, but not entirely impossible...
