133: Chapter 133 Fate Module, Intertwined Destinies

The liquefied True Qi within her body collided violently with the pure Spiritual Qi infused from thin air, finally fusing completely within her Dantian, transforming into droplets of viscous, pale blue liquid.

Origin Power!

Lin Shuangwan lowered her head, looking at her own fair and slender hands, feeling the terrifying power within her body that felt as if it could collapse this county office with a single punch.

She knew that from this moment on, in the Mortal realm of the Great Qing, there was no one, and no army, capable of detaining her.

She glanced at the refined iron bars before her, which were as thick as an arm, her eyes flickering slightly.

As long as she wished, she could snap these refined irons like noodles with just a gentle bend.

She could directly take her mother, break out of the prison, storm the county office, twist off the head of Magistrate Lu Fengnian, and smash Wei Feisen's dog head.

"Don't get carried away, Lin Shuangwan, you absolutely cannot get carried away."

Lin Shuangwan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging killing intent and sense of arrogance in her heart, and loosened her clenched fists.

She knew her weaknesses too well.

The Origin Qi Realm, in the end, was just a special transitional stage from Mortal martial arts to cultivation; without a Spiritual Root, she could never become an Immortal Cultivator.

In the simulations, she had seen with her own eyes the terrifying scene of that Foundation Establishment Stage evil cultivator slaughtering a city.

Before a true Immortal Cultivator, her current strength was still just that of a slightly stronger ant.

"At the very least, I must endure until Foundation Establishment. Only with the power to protect myself can I roam the Cultivation World. And the prerequisite, or the pre-prerequisite for Foundation Establishment is..."

Lin Shuangwan frowned, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

Spiritual Root!

This was the greatest chasm lying across her path to cultivation. Without a Spiritual Root, even if she had a simulator, even if she had countless Cultivation Techniques, she would never be able to push open that door.

If she could never draw a trait with Spiritual Root talent in reality, then all her previous planning would be like fetching water with a bamboo basket—all in vain.

Thinking of this, she rubbed her brow in irritation, but after only a few breaths, she adjusted her mindset.

"I don't believe it; I can't even get my hands on a lousy Spiritual Root."

Lin Shuangwan's eyes burned. She recalled that in the Ten Thousand Mountains, because the simulator detected that the ambient Spiritual Qi met the requirements, it had unlocked that new feature called the "destiny module" ahead of time.

Since it was a new feature from the System, and one triggered after coming into contact with Spiritual Qi, perhaps the key to breaking her deadlock was inside!

She calmed her mind and summoned the System panel once again.

Beside the [Simulation] and [Trait] options, there was indeed a brand-new option emitting a dark golden light: [Destiny].

Lin Shuangwan did not hesitate and clicked directly into it.

[destiny module activated.]

[Module Description: The host's trajectory of destiny is not isolated. When the System detects a living being with a "Destiny Intertwined" rating of over 70% with the host, the host may choose to perform a "Destiny Binding" with them.]

[Note 1: The Destiny Intertwined rating during the simulation process is also counted in the total value.]

[Note 2: After a successful binding, the host can view the target's deepest and strongest obsession within their Soul, which is the "Destiny Mission".]

[Note 3: Upon completing the target's "Destiny Mission", the host will receive corresponding rewards of simulation attempts and traits. The mission can be completed in the simulation or in reality.]

[Note 4: If the mission is completed in reality, the reward grade will be upgraded! If all Destiny Missions for a single target are completed, a unique hidden reward will be triggered!]

Lin Shuangwan read the description word for word twice, and a light gradually brightened in her cool, clear eyes.

"Understood." She nodded to herself. "Simply put, it's treating those who have deep ties with me as NPCs, accepting their exclusive missions, and then getting rewards. And the returns for completing missions in reality are higher than in the simulation."

This was truly timely help; what she lacked most right now were simulation attempts and high-quality traits.

Lin Shuangwan then moved her gaze downward to the [Intertwined Rating List] at the bottom of the panel.

The list was densely packed with dozens of avatars, covering almost everyone she had known by name throughout her sixteen years since Transmigration, as well as those she had seen in the few simulations.

She scanned through them quickly.

"Zhao Zhanming, Destiny Intertwined: 22%."

"Manager Liu, Destiny Intertwined: 45%."

Seeing these two names, the image of that silly young master of the Zhao family and the charming manager of Wangjiang Tower couldn't help but surface in Lin Shuangwan's mind.

Unfortunately, although these two had had some interactions with her in the simulations, the Intertwined Rating did not reach the 70% threshold for binding.

"It seems that only those who have truly influenced the trajectory of my life, or have a deep obsession with me, can meet the criteria."

Lin Shuangwan continued to look down, her gaze finally settling on the two avatars at the very top of the list, which were also the only two lit up, indicating they could be bound.

[Wei Feisen, Destiny Intertwined: 78%]

[Qin Qing (Mother Lin), Destiny Intertwined: 85%]

For this result, Lin Shuangwan was not surprised at all.

That madman Wei Feisen, whether in reality or in the simulation, stuck to her like a plaster; it would be strange if the Intertwined Rating wasn't high.

And Mother Qin Qing was her only relative in this world, as well as the softest bottom line in her heart.

[Current binding slots: 2/2.]

[System Prompt: If you actively cancel the binding after it is established, you will permanently be unable to bind this target again. Please choose carefully, Host.]

"Only two slots?"

Lin Shuangwan pondered for a moment. There was nothing to hesitate about; currently, only these two people met the criteria. With a thought, she chose to bind both.

[Binding successful.]

She first clicked on the avatar of Mother Lin, Qin Qing. The panel expanded, and four mission bars emitting a soft white light appeared.

[Target: Qin Qing]

[Destiny Mission I: Escape to Freedom]

[Mission Description: Trapped in prison, with life and death uncertain, as a mother, her greatest wish is for you to safely escape this man-eating prison and survive.]

[Basic Reward (Completed in simulation): Simulation attempts ×1, White Trait [Light as a Swallow].]

[Advanced Reward (Completed in reality): Simulation attempts ×1, Blue Trait [Wind Walker].]

[Destiny Mission II: Bearing Children]

[Mission Description: Men should marry, and women should wed. She hopes to see you dressed in a phoenix coronet and rosy-clouded cape, find a satisfactory husband, give birth to offspring, and live a peaceful life.]

[Basic Reward: Simulation attempts ×1, Blue Trait [Many Children, Many Blessings].]

[Advanced Reward: Simulation attempts ×2, Purple Trait [Phoenix Blood].]

[Destiny Mission III: Retrieve Lin Hao]

[Mission Description: If he is alive, I want to see a person; if he is dead, I want to see a corpse. Lin Hao is her eldest son. She does not believe her son would be a deserter; she needs the truth.]

[Basic Reward: Simulation attempts ×3, Purple Trait [Alchemy Master].]

[Advanced Reward: Simulation attempts ×5, Golden Trait [Avoid Misfortune, Seek Luck].]

[Destiny Mission IV: Family Reunion]

[Mission Description: Having endured hardships, what she longs for most is, on a quiet afternoon, to have her son and daughter by her side, and for the whole family to eat a reunion meal together.]

[Basic Reward: Simulation attempts ×2, Golden Trait [Long-lasting Blessings].]

[Advanced Reward: Simulation attempts ×3, Random Red Trait ×1.]

Looking at these four missions, Lin Shuangwan's eyes felt slightly sore.
