Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

[You chose option three, and you gained the prototype of the authority-type feat: Destiny Path.]

At the moment when he obtained the prototype of this authority-related expertise, one after another mysterious symbols and divine patterns representing the concept of authority and authority knowledge hung high in the air, feeding back a large amount of knowledge to Zhou Ning, allowing him to gain some understanding of the knowledge in the field of destiny, and even understand a lot of knowledge in the field of time.

This is a blank area of ​​knowledge and authority, and it is also something that he had not encountered before when he obtained the prototype of authority expertise.

It seems that the authority of this destiny path is quite strong, at least it spans the two realms of time and destiny.

A few seconds later, Zhou Ning rubbed his forehead with a rather strange expression, trying to relieve the pain caused by the expansion of knowledge.

Zhou Ning learned from relevant sources that the Authority of Destiny did indeed have four sub-authorities, but one of them surprised him somewhat: it was the Power of Wishes. This was understandable, as fulfilling a wish was indeed achieved by changing a person's destiny.

This also allowed him to almost fully complete his progress in synthesizing the Authority of Destiny. The only obstacle was the number of grids for the Authority.

After obtaining the authority of the path of destiny, his number of authorities has been maxed out. According to Xiao Poshu, the only solution is to reach the highest level of control over a certain authority so that he can gain one more authority.

This also means that when the power of one's wish reaches its peak, that is the time when one completely obtains the power of destiny through sacrifice, and can take off in minutes.

As for the authority of the destiny path, it is also very interesting. You can consume divinity to unfold a golden road under your feet, starting from the origin in 1453. If you move forward, you can peek into the destiny of the future, and if you go backward, you can peek into the destiny of the past.

Currently, I can only explore the fate of plus or minus 500 years from the origin. Tampering with fate can only tamper with the future and the fate of the short term, but cannot change the fate of the past.

In other words, the fate of the past can only be observed but cannot be tampered with. This is also easy to understand, because changing the past means fissioning a new parallel time and space. In Zhou Ning's view, there is only one possibility to tamper with the fate of the past:

That is the power to fully control time and destiny at the same time, which means accommodating two top-level authorities, which is almost impossible for him.

Also, once fog appears on the road of destiny, you must immediately stop exploring and be vigilant. That is a sign that the righteous gods without involvement in the dream realm are overly involved in this road of destiny. In this case, terrifying nightmare hounds will appear and attack travelers on the road.

This sounds a lot like the Hound of Tindalos in the Cthulhu mythos!

Zhou Ning couldn't help but feel curious about the power of destiny.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Zhou Ning also prepared a backup plan and was ready to return to the Kingdom of God at any time.

Then, Zhou Ning stood up, and as nearly 1/4 of his divinity was consumed at once, a golden light that was so bright that it made it impossible to open one's eyes gradually lit up in front of and behind him.

When the light gradually condensed and calmed down, a golden road suddenly appeared under his feet.

Just like what we have seen before, there are time scales on this golden road, representing one’s destiny at this point in time.

His location in the realm of destiny is called the origin of destiny. When the ever-changing destiny is determined, it is called the island of destiny. It is actually very vivid. When a destiny is tampered with, it is the process of moving from one island to another.

At the same time, the road of destiny seems to have certain spatial characteristics. When you are on the road of destiny, you can move forward, backward, or go astray on the road of destiny at will without worrying about being blocked by space.

Zhou Ning tried to step onto the golden road and walked forward, paying attention to the golden scales on the road and the changes in the scene as he walked.

These golden scales are composed of six scales of varying lengths, from short to long corresponding to seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years, and the same applies to unit conversions: 60 seconds = 1 minute, 60 minutes = 1 hour, 24 hours = 1 day, 30 or 31 days = 1 month, and 12 months = 1 year.

As Zhou Ning strolled forward, he could observe some bizarre fragments on the road, but because he did not have the authority to [spy on fate], these fragments seemed to be separated by a layer of gauze, completely invisible, and unable to be touched by spirituality or divinity.

Every so often, a new fork in the road would automatically form. Fate inherently involves a certain randomness; sometimes, a change in wind speed or the flutter of a butterfly's wings could create a different timeline. In the blink of an eye, golden roads formed one after another, radiating a golden light across the surface, resembling a burning spiderweb—an indescribable spectacle.

According to the rules of fate, ordinary transcendents who haven't yet entered the realm of fate cannot embark on more than three fate paths in a short period of time, but Zhou Ning was clearly no longer one of them. Out of curiosity, he occasionally strayed from the path, and even though he couldn't peer deeply, he saw some of the scenes he would soon encounter.

About ten days later, he left Nathaniel and headed for Dulles. Then, more destinies diverged... Zhou Ning couldn't help but be slightly startled.

He saw a thick fog coming towards him on one of the roads.

Based on the knowledge he had just gained, this foreshadowed excessive divine intervention. Then, amidst the thick fog, Zhou Ning saw a series of bizarre creatures, enormous, ethereal, and fiery-eyed, roaming the area. There were no fewer than 20 of them, somewhat wolf-like in appearance, their size and outline constantly shifting, a characteristic of mythical creatures.

They should be the nightmare hounds mentioned in the lore. Seeing this scene, Zhou Ning took a deep breath. The meaning was already quite obvious.

In Dulles, I might encounter a true god again. Could I really be a badass? Wherever I go, trouble strikes.

Although the breath of these nightmare hounds alone did not seem strong enough to kill him, Zhou Ning decided to trust his own knowledge and chose to withdraw from this fateful detour.

Then, Zhou Ning took a quick tour, moving forward along the road of destiny. He saw many broken and bizarre scenes, but was unable to piece together useful information. Occasionally, when he encountered a foggy fork in the road of destiny, Zhou Ning would simply withdraw and change to another path.

Unknowingly, Zhou Ning had reached the end of the road. The last mark was November 1457, 11, which was previously referred to as the singularity of destiny.

This seems to be no different from an ordinary time period... Zhou Ning's mind moved, and he stopped around October 1457, 10. Instead of choosing to move forward, he chose to return and explore other possibilities nearby.

Zhou Ning still has this vigilance.

When he returned to another path on October 1457, 10, following the various positions he had established previously, something unexpected happened!

Zhou Ning suddenly felt waves of muttering in his ears, followed by countless wailing sounds. His mind went blank and he "saw" a pair of huge golden eyes appear in his mind, which were extremely clear and real.

This time, he finally saw the owner of the huge golden eyes, a giant dressed in a white robe. His appearance was slightly distorted, and dense illusory wings grew on his back!

This... Zhou Ning's scalp tingled. He had never expected to encounter such a terrifying existence while exploring the path of destiny. His mind tensed up, and without hesitation, he let his mind settle down and directly chose to recite his own honorific name.

“A breaker among the stars;

"The Lord who controls the power of knowledge and desire,

"A traveler through time and space."

The scene in front of him became bright again, and Zhou Ning had appeared in his own kingdom of God.
