Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"……should."

"Then there won't be another naked woman, right?"

The Fate Changer blushed. "You can specifically request this in the summoning phrase."

It does make sense.

Just do it, time is running out anyway.

The matter was urgent, so she didn't plan to go back to the Mage Tower to summon. The concentration of magic power here was extremely high, and it was already a good enough ritual room.

The knot flips and flows between Man's hands.

The ceremony begins in the form of a cat's-tape game.

The ritual hymns used for summoning, as well as the price, were whispered by Man.

"Here comes a tenth-rank woman with super long hair, a super good figure, and the ability to tamper with fate. Please come in the form of a soul, neatly dressed. I have an assistant job for you, and you happen to have work experience..."

A knot immediately came loose.

But it immediately tangled with the rest of the rope, forming a brand new knot.

Rituals are changing.

"The price I pay you is to guide your soul to the Old World, to work for me from now on, to be under my protection, and to be loyal to me... If you are satisfied, then come."

Apart from the magic power necessary to open the door, Yu Man did not pay any substantial price.

The "fate changer" did not think that this was taking advantage of the situation. For her, it was enough as long as she could leave that withered place.

Especially - the soul is allowed to come here.

Her reflection faded.

But two seconds later—

A withered, confused, timeless and lusterless breath quietly appeared in Yu Man's knot.

They followed Yu Man's hand and drew a small door in the air.

The person being summoned quietly opened the door.

"In response to your call, your former assistant has come to resume his duties." The voice was consistent, but the rest was completely different from the previous reflection.

She seems to be the truth.

Everything except her is a perverse logic that needs to be tampered with.

Every strand of her long black hair seemed to represent the destiny of others or the world.

But the gloomy face hidden inside had a relaxed brow - that meant joy.

The "Fate Changer" is now in the form of a spirit, but its specifications are obviously more than one level higher.

"I am deeply moved... The cold and holiness here, the flowing air and time, and the melodious and harmonious magical layers... They nourish me... Very well... Very well."

The reflection disappears.

Instead, the soul of the "fate changer" himself came.

But the system recognized that it was the same person, so all of Yu Man's previous arrangements did not need to be rewritten at the system level. As she said, she was indeed reinstated... even if the position was only vacant for a few seconds.

"Do the other reflections of the old world want to escape from prison as much as you do?" Yu Man asked.

The Fate Changer shook his head. "It's complicated. Most people fear the Three Secrets, yet they simply yearn for their homeland... even if it has withered. The powerful Supreme Gods, or those equally capable, must remain to maintain the existence of the withered world... otherwise, everyone will be destroyed, even their reflections."

"I see."

"Even if those beings truly cross worlds and arrive, the Three Secrets will intervene to expel them... or even erase them. Therefore, the current situation is a delicate balance. Of course, those who are summoned are happy; they're just reflections after all. But most people wouldn't dare risk their lives like I did."

"Are you braver?" asked the fawn.

The "Fate Changer" looked at the deer happily and said, "It's just rebellious."

At this point, they all fell silent and did not continue discussing those stories.

The "Fate Changer" didn't tell Xiaolu too much. She could understand to a certain extent that this was a plot that Xiaolu needed to explore on her own in the future, rather than a past tense that could be easily known in advance due to the relationship with the comics.

suddenly--

"Wow, everyone is so lively, I can't sleep..."

It was the face of an ice dragon, shouting at the inside of the cave entrance.

"I'm joining in the fun too!"

After saying that, the big face disappeared, and instead, a little dragon girl rushed in.

She had been sleeping on the mountain above the cave, but it was so noisy inside that she couldn't sleep well.

So, she came to see what was going on.

"Brother, didn't you say we're going to have a big fight tomorrow? Why don't you get some rest?"

"I have some unfinished business, and I need a ninth-level material to upgrade my magic book."

After saying that, Yu Man stood firmly in his horse stance, but even though he was on guard, he was still knocked back several meters by Xiao Bing, even though the child just wanted to rub against him or lick him.

Helplessly being licked on the cheek, Yu Man explained, "But don't worry, the 'Fate Changer' will do it for me right now. It will be quiet soon."

The Fate Changer nodded, trying to shift his gaze away from the Ice Prison Dragon's ecological performance and focus on the business.

She mobilized her magic power while observing the entire cave.

Unlike reflections, souls are much more powerful.

"There are three places brewing... Different materials will grow over time, but two of them are in this pool. It will be very difficult to obtain them... The only one left is this one on the shore."

She ran her hand through her hair and gently reached towards a particularly dark spot by the pond.

A huge amount of magic power was put into operation, and the ice elements seemed to be celebrating the New Year.

This flow of power, which should be invisible, can even be felt by humans with their skin.

The "fate changer" caught a ray of destiny.

And then—tampered with it.

"Your birth... doesn't have to be in the future—how about now?"

Everyone was watching.

In the hands of the "fate changer", it advances the present from the future.

It appeared.

A tiny ice flower.

But unlike a rose or chrysanthemum, its patterns intertwine forwards and backwards, growing in contradictory and erroneous ways. This intense disharmony immediately affects its surroundings.

Yu Man widened his eyes. This was really rare to see.

The incorrect crystallization of ice-attribute crystals is a rare crystal branch that seems like a system bug.

"Rebellious Aoi" - it can be said to be a legend among legends. Different from the regular ninth-level materials, it is even rarer.

"Xiaobing, can we collect it?" Yu Man asked.

"Of course. I even feel like I have to pick it off, otherwise it will transform the entire cave...even the entire island...and everyone will start growing incorrectly..."

As expected of the Ice Prison Dragon, she truly saw through its true nature. Without even opening her mouth, she extended her right hand, partially transforming it into a dragon, and slowly pecked at the root of the "Rebellious Sunflower." But this time, the material was much easier to gather, as its elements were purer.

"Here you go, big brother." She handed over the dangerous ice flower.

"it is good."

After taking a quick screenshot as a souvenir, Yu Man opened the soul weapon's system interface and selected the "Invest materials to strengthen weapons" item.

Still a seventh-level "Holy Scripture of Time and Snow", it gently hung in front of her, unfolding itself, diffusing a deep light.

It is waiting for its owner to feed it.

Yu Man solemnly dedicated "Rebellious Sunflower" to it.

But it’s not just that—

"Brother, try this too."

Unexpectedly, Xiaobing on the side was very generous. She took off the "Mist of Light" that Yu Man had given her as an ear clip and actually joined in.

Yu Man was stunned. What an exaggerated waste!

Just like that—two pieces of ninth-grade ice-attribute materials quietly sank into the book before Yu Man could stop them.

182 Go

Suddenly—a sudden change occurred.

The first abnormality to occur was in the ancestral pond of the Ice Prison Dragon lineage.

Among them, the nameless, dreamlike fish gathered on the water's surface like guests attending an opera.

They opened their mouths and breathed gently, looking quietly at the magic book with sparkling eyes.

then--

The book opened itself.

Stopped on a certain page.

A blank ice page, without a single word on it.

——That’s how it should be.

But I don't know who picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and I don't know where the words came from, but he suddenly started writing from the first line.

The faint, vague and unknown words were written from beginning to end, covering two whole pages.

"This means... the power contained in both materials has been absorbed by it..."

Yu Man talked to himself and was the only person present who could understand what was happening.

She was experienced, not to mention—that soul weapon was an extension of her soul.

Different powers were written into it, transforming it. Furthermore, it even drew upon a certain power invested in it by the World Tree, Shimlabakken, when it was forged.

It begins writing the third page.

But—those were no longer words.

"...illustrations?" Someone asked, and this was what everyone was thinking.

Filling the blank pages——

It is a small sapling, sacred and pure.

Take root in some abstract and strange "soil" and then grow quietly.

That's all.

——It closed.

Then it fell back into Yu Man's hand, as if it had never left.

Still familiar—yet completely different.

The power contained in this magic book has grown so much that it can even be called magnificent now.

"The Scripture of Time and Snow: The Freeman"

"A magical book blessed by winter, filled with memories.

This holy book, which looks like a classical magician's tool, has now absorbed two strange powers and has experienced many uses.

Yet, it continues to follow its owner's wishes, carrying her past, present... and perhaps even future.

"Ninth level."

Yu Man's eyes widened, and it seemed as if he was only one step away from leaving this class.

Two precious ninth-level materials infused it with enormous power.
