Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

The Ninth Commandment: Know Your Destiny.

These are the three rings that Fan Xiao obtained—three dungeon-exclusive items that can only be used within dungeons.

Just as he had predicted, completing the "Omnipotent Main Story" is a prerequisite for unlocking the "Saintess Story".

Because the Ring of Knowing Fate can be used to find the location of the Saintess... that is, Lucia.

The Ring of All Love and the Ring of Bewitching can interfere with the mental consciousness of all the inhabitants of the entire instance, causing their love to converge on Lucia.

For Fan Xiao... it's rather pointless.

The only somewhat interesting item is the Ring of Knowing Fate, but because it's a simulated item from a dungeon, you can only see some information from the dungeon, so it's not very meaningful.

The real item, or rather the original, is probably still in the hands of the saintess.

"The boss of this instance is not the Almighty Lord, but the Saintess... I wonder what state her true form is in right now?"

After a few seconds of contemplation, Fan Xiao disappeared from the spot.

To improve his dungeon rating, he needs to destroy the dungeon.

Before he could blow it up, he needed to find out the saintess's condition so as not to affect her.

Now that the "Almighty Lord" is dead, Lucia's past is gradually changing, and the true saintess... is probably about to appear.

He needed to go to Lucia's side and observe the situation carefully.

……

Suburban areas far from the city.

A quiet, old street corner.

After leaving their previous location, Sivina and her six companions rushed to this place without stopping.

"We're so far from the city now, I hope nothing else goes wrong next?"

White Hair said with lingering fear.

At this moment, he had completely agreed with Sivina's philosophy—it's better to be a little cowardly when playing the game.

In an industry with such a high mortality rate, he doesn't need to engage in any kind of hard work or struggle.

He just needs to be a little cowardly, a little more cautious, and live a little longer, and his future achievements will naturally surpass those of 90% of people.

"As long as you don't cause any trouble, there won't be any problems," Svina said. "Let's just stay here and wait until the dungeon closes."

"Are we not going to do the second task?" The leader was a little unwilling.

"Don't be silly. The second mission is obviously related to the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Righteous Sect, and that... big shot's purpose in entering this instance is also related to the Holy Maiden."

Sivina's tone became more serious: "The relationship between the big boss and the saintess might be quite unusual."

"Although the Saintess is only a B-level player, she is so beautiful that her player level is not that important. Her charm as a woman is self-evident."

"A perfect woman paired with a mysterious powerhouse... hmm, quite a good match. In this situation, if we go and join the fun, what if we disturb the big boss's mood..."

She shook her head: "I'm not going anyway. I suggest you guys don't go and do anything reckless."

"Let's give up on the second task; we won't lose anything anyway."

The dog-eared youth then said, "The difficulty of this dungeon... mainly lies in the power of the gods. As you have all seen, it's not something that B-level players with sealed item access can handle."

"If that person hadn't intervened, it's hard to say how many of us would have survived the next seven days. The mortality rate... would definitely not be low!"

"Being able to pass the level without taking any damage is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. To ask for more... is a bit ungrateful."

These self-deprecating words actually brought some comfort to the eldest sister.

The leader stopped thinking about it and nodded to Sivina, saying, "I'll listen to you from now on and stay here until the dungeon ends."

"Smart choice."

Svetlana smiled.

Then, her gaze fell on the dog-eared youth, and she teased, "Your tone... sounds a bit sour?"

"..." The dog-eared youth: "Captain, I don't understand what you're saying."

"Heh," Svina chuckled, "Your crush is about to be snatched away by a mysterious powerhouse... Doesn't it feel as sour as if you ate a lemon?"

"Captain, it's still uncertain what kind of relationship the Holy Maiden and that one have, right?" the white-haired man said.

"Wow..." Svina looked at the white-haired girl and exclaimed, "Another sour grapes. The Saintess's charm is truly exaggerated."

"..."

White Hair remained silent.

It's not because I'm speechless, but... because my thoughts have been exposed, and I'm a little vulnerable.

Sveina maintained her wistful tone and said, "Most of the men in Roman City are obsessed with the pearl of the Celestial Church, and even many women are in love with the saintess... You two aren't even simps, and feeling jealous is completely due to not recognizing your status as mere bystanders."

She patted her two subordinates on the shoulders and comforted them, "Adjust your mindset. Don't be presumptuous here, and don't be so stupid as to develop any hostility towards the boss."

"..." The dog-eared youth remained silent.

White Hair gritted his teeth and said, "Captain Si, I really... thank you!"

“Hehe,” Sivina said, “You’re welcome.”

……

Vanshaw returned to Lucia's house.

At this point, Lucia had completely replaced the "Almighty Lord" in this instance and become the object of love for all the instance's inhabitants.

This immense amount of love gradually manifested itself in Lucia's daily life.

The scenery around Lucia began to change again.

This time, it wasn't a replay of memory scenes, nor was it a series of bullying images. Instead, the entire instance world seemed to be sped up, time began to flow rapidly, and a new timeline, like an accelerated video, appeared before the observer, Fan Xiao.

Vanshaw saw that Lucia's father, Ober Rosa, had given up all his bad habits, worked several jobs, and toiled day and night to earn money, spending most of his earnings on Lucia... or rather, on showing his fatherly love to Lucia.

Ober bought Lucia's guitar back, personally picked her up and dropped her off at school, prepared breakfast and dinner for her on time every day, tried different ways to make her happy every day, took her on trips every now and then, and gave her the gift she wanted most every year on her birthday... Ober tried to show his fatherly love to an almost abnormal degree.

At school, Lucia became a heartthrob.

Her classmates greet her warmly every day and take care of her visually impaired self in every way.

Every teacher who comes to class will kindly ask Lucia if she understands, and if she doesn't, they will set aside time to explain it to her alone.

Class monitor Betty treated Lucia as her best friend. She would go to play with Lucia as soon as get out of class was over, give her a small gift every now and then, and discuss current popular music, clothes and outfits with her... Even when going to the toilet, Betty would go with Lucia.

As Lucia walks down the street, she receives kindness from all the passersby.

People help her cross the street, passersby greet her, and children share their candy with her. Even pet dogs running by will come closer and rub against her legs; she loves the soft, furry touch.

The love of countless people converged to a level that could be described as overwhelming.

Love was so abundant and overflowing that it was completely excessive.

This is unhealthy.

It can even make you feel suffocated.

but……

Lucia didn't have this problem.

She is as content with her current situation as much as she longs to be loved.

The overwhelming love filled all the void in her heart, making her feel fulfilled and happy for the second time in her life—the first time being from her deceased mother.

If a person grows up surrounded by a lot of love, then he will certainly not lack a confident mindset and a carefree lifestyle. He will not feel frustrated or anxious, nor will he fall into any mental exhaustion.

Lucia is gradually transforming into this perfect state.

The changing scenery continued until the next morning.

The morning light illuminated the city once more.

It also illuminated Lucia's face.

By this time, Lucia had grown into a graceful young woman, showing no signs of malnutrition whatsoever, and was no longer the "little beggar" she once was.

Because two years have already passed.

Lucia dressed more appropriately and became more poised. Although she was still blind, she didn't seem to care much about it anymore... She was no longer afraid of the dark world.

Because no one will hurt her.

Fan Xiao saw a resemblance to the saintess's perfect appearance in her face.

Lucia's wonderful life continued until... one day, she was suddenly chosen by the evolution game and became an evolver.

Her psychic powers awakened.

It wasn't the talent development granted by the evolution game, but rather the spiritual energy she awakened on her own.

The moment she awakened, her evolution rate increased significantly, which also healed her blindness and restored her sight.

Suddenly, Lucia turned her head and looked at Fan Xiao, who had been following her and observing her.

At that moment, it seemed as if some kind of instance rule had descended, making her understand everything.

Time slowed down.

No longer accelerating.

Lucia and Van Shaw made eye contact.

Her pupils were no longer grayish-white, but clearly reflected Fan Xiao's figure.

Fan Xiao sighed: "It seems it's coming to an end."

"Thanks……"

Lucia smiled slightly and whispered her thanks to Fan Xiao.

Whether it was due to the influence of psychic energy or her kind nature, her voice was so melodious it was almost unbelievable, like the sound of heaven.

After saying this, her figure turned into specks of light.

These points of light converged, forming a stream of light that flew forward.

Fan Xiao quickly followed, chasing the flowing light, and soon left the space where the city was located, arriving in another space.

The space, with its dim background, looked very oppressive.

In the very center of the space, pansies bloomed, forming a small circular sea of ​​flowers.

Fan Xiao looked towards the sea of ​​flowers and saw the streak of light from before, which suddenly shot towards the center of the sea of ​​flowers—where a graceful figure was lying flat in the sea of ​​flowers.

It was the missing saint.

The light landed on the saintess's brow and merged into her.

Fan Xiao slowly walked over, squatted down beside the saintess, and observed her condition for a while.

The saintess seemed to be asleep, showing no reaction whatsoever.

After a few seconds of thought, Fan Xiao quickly murmured, "Looks like I'll have to try the Sleeping Beauty story formula. I've heard that a prince's deep kiss can wake a princess up."

"..."

The saint's shoulders twitched.

The next second, she opened her eyes, revealing grayish-white pupils... exactly the same as Lucia's eyes when she was visually impaired.

"Why did you stop pretending to be asleep?" Fan Xiao asked.

At this moment, he had shed the disguise of a C-level cannibal player and restored his original destiny—in an open dungeon, there was no need to hide anything, because apart from "God," no one could possibly intrude into an open dungeon and discover any information.

Despite her original destiny, the saintess recognized his voice and understood his identity.

"Darling, I'm already like this, can't you... can't you be a little gentler with me?" the saintess sighed softly.

“As long as you don’t take advantage of my kindness and act recklessly, I can be a gentle person.” Fan Xiao continued, “What’s wrong with your eyes?”

“When you use the phrase ‘know your destiny’ too much, this is what happens.”

The saintess said with a slight self-deprecating smile, "I originally wanted to leave alone to adjust my condition, but I didn't expect... a dungeon would suddenly appear. I'm sorry to have worried you all."

Is it curable?

As Fan Xiao asked the question, he touched the saintess's forehead with his finger.
