Shen Tian stared.
Then stared some more.
"Two hundred thousand?"
Xu Ning nodded.
[Two hundred thousand.]
Shen Tian looked at Yun Wanhe’s old numbers in his memory.
Then back toward the panel.
"You’re telling me some gamer has more Fate than the reincarnated Immortal Emperor?"
[Significantly more.]
Shen Tian almost laughed.
"And he doesn’t cultivate?"
[No.]
"No ancient master?"
[No.]
"No hidden bloodline?"
[Not currently.]
"No reincarnation?"
[No.]
Shen Tian looked toward the sky.
"He’s just really good at video games?"
[Calling him "really good" would be an understatement.]
The panel changed.
Clips appeared.
Professional tournaments.
Jiang Feng controlling characters with frightening precision.
Multiple opponents attacking simultaneously.
He dodged between them.
Countered.
Predicted cooldowns.
Managed positioning.
Directed teammates.
Won fights that statistically should have been impossible.
Xu Ning continued.
[Former world champion.]
[Former team captain.]
[One of the most mechanically gifted players in the professional scene.]
[His performance declined after a wrist injury.]
[His organization recently removed him from the active roster.]
Shen Tian understood immediately.
"And now Eternal Realm launches."
[Exactly.]
Another panel appeared.
[Fate Forecast]
[Phase One: Humiliated Professional]
[Phase Two: Enters Eternal Realm Alone]
[Phase Three: Discovers First Hidden Opportunity]
[Phase Four: Acquires Unique Class]
[Phase Five: Establishes Guild]
[Phase Six: Defeats Former Team]
[Phase Seven: Becomes National Champion]
[Phase Eight: World Championship]
[Phase Nine: Global Guild Supremacy]
[Phase Ten: ???]
Shen Tian stared at the final line.
*What’s Phase Ten?*
[I can’t read it.]
That immediately interested him.
"Why?"
[His Fate is too dense.]
[Host...]
[This protagonist is enormous.]
[His destiny isn’t centered around one city.]
[Or even one country.]
[If the Fate forecast is accurate...]
[His actions inside Eternal Realm will eventually influence most of the entire world.]
Shen Tian whistled softly.
Chi Lingxi shifted against his shoulder.
He immediately became quiet.
She murmured,
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah."
She looked toward him sleepily.
"You were whispering."
"Just thinking about something."
"Work?"
"Something like that."
Chi Lingxi nodded.
Then rested against him again.
Xu Ning watched.
[Host.]
"Don’t."
[Your little girlfriend is adorable.]
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"She’s not officially my girlfriend yet."
Chi Lingxi’s fingers tightened around his hand.
Shen Tian paused.
Xu Ning said:
[You may want to tell her that.]
"She can’t hear us."
[Your face is extremely readable.]
Shen Tian ignored her.
Then returned his attention to the protagonist panel.
"What opportunity does Jiang Feng get first?"
Xu Ning waved her hand.
The system attempted to calculate.
Static covered the screen.
Then...
Information slowly appeared.
[First Major Opportunity]
[Eternal Realm Starting Region: Unknown]
[Opportunity Type: Hidden Quest Chain]
[Reward: Unknown]
[Estimated Fate Value: 12,000]
Shen Tian’s eyes widened slightly.
[Twelve thousand from one quest?]
[Yes.]
"That’s absurd."
[His opportunities are significantly larger than Yun Wanhe’s...]
Xu Ning stopped herself.
Shen Tian nodded approvingly.
They were done with that Chapter.
New protagonist.
New story.
Xu Ning corrected herself.
[His opportunities are unusually valuable.]
Shen Tian looked interested.
"Can I enter Eternal Realm?"
Xu Ning stared at him.
[Obviously.]
"Do I need to buy one of those capsules?"
[Host.]
"What?"
[Your family owns fourteen percent of one of the manufacturers.]
Shen Tian became silent.
"We do?"
[You really need to learn what your family owns.]
"Probably."
Xu Ning continued.
[There are twelve Eternal Realm capsules already installed in the mansion’s entertainment wing.]
Shen Tian blinked.
"Twelve?"
[Your mother ordered them.]
" Why?"
[Apparently Bai Xue mentioned wanting to play.]
Shen Tian looked impressed.
"Mom moves fast."
[Extremely.]
Shen Tian returned his attention to Jiang Feng’s information.
Two hundred thousand Fate.
A completely new environment.
No cultivation competitions.
No ancient mountain tournaments.
No underground gang conflicts.
This protagonist’s battlefield was digital.
Which meant Shen Tian couldn’t simply rely on cultivation to overwhelm everything.
At least...
Probably not.
A slow smile appeared.
Xu Ning immediately recognized it.
[Host.]
"Hm?"
[You’re interested.]
"Very."
This was different.
That was what appealed to him.
A new world.
New rules.
New opportunities.
And somewhere inside it...
A protagonist with enough Fate to make everything they’d encountered previously look small.
Shen Tian looked down at Chi Lingxi.
She was in a deep sleep.
Her breathing was slow.
Her head remained against his shoulder.
He wasn’t going to move until she was ready.
Jiang Feng could wait a little.
Meanwhile...
Inside Eternal Realm...
Jiang Feng opened his eyes.
Wind moved across his face.
He smelled grass.
Not artificial fragrance.
Actual grass.
At least...
His brain believed it was actual grass.
He looked down.
His hands appeared completely real.
He flexed his fingers.
No pain.
His wrist...
Didn’t hurt.
Jiang Feng froze.
He moved it again.
Nothing.
No stiffness.
No weakness.
No lingering injury.
A smile slowly appeared.
"So this is full dive..."
A translucent screen appeared.
**Welcome, Player.**
**Please create your character.**
Jiang Feng examined the options.
Race.
Appearance.
Name.
Starting region.
He selected human.
Kept his appearance nearly identical.
Then reached the name field.
He paused.
His old professional username...
**FengGod**
Had been known around the world.
He stared at the empty box.
Then deleted the first letters he’d typed.
This wasn’t Titan.
This wasn’t his old career.
This wasn’t the player everyone expected him to be.
He entered something new.
**FallenWind**
**Name available.**
**Confirm?**
Jiang Feng smiled.
"Confirm."
The world disappeared.
Then...
Light.
He appeared in the center of a massive stone plaza.
Hundreds of players materialized around him.
Then thousands.
Everyone shouted.
"What the hell?!"
"This feels real!"
"Look at the NPCs!"
"Where’s the weapon shop?"
"How do I open inventory?!"
"Anyone making a guild?"
"Looking for healer!"
Jiang Feng ignored them.
He opened his interface.
**Player: FallenWind**
**Level: 1**
**Class: None**
**Health: 100**
**Mana: 50**
**Strength: 5**
**Agility: 5**
**Vitality: 5**
**Intelligence: 5**
**Spirit: 5**
**Free Attribute Points: 0**
No advantages.
No special equipment.
No professional organization supporting him.
